Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark
Page 22
Xiyue turned over on the bed and closed her eyes, but if someone happened to look over at this time, they would find that Xiyue's originally azure eyes gradually deepened into dark blue as she closed her eyes.
"Huh... ah!" Elini woke up from her deep sleep. The continuous use of hand cannon throughout the day had taken a toll on her physical strength.
"Are you asleep? This shouldn't be the case, but it looks like no Hai Si is coming to attack." Elini, who had just woken up from her sleep, looked around nervously.
With the help of some shining blue lights around her, Elini was sure that everyone around her was resting with their eyes closed and sleeping. Everyone had been fighting for a whole day, and now it was time to finally retreat and cherish the hard-earned rest time.
However, they did not completely relax their vigilance. That kind of thing was tantamount to seeking death. Although the situation on the battlefield was now extremely strange because Hai Si did not kill.
But the most basic vigilance is absolutely not allowed to be abandoned, so the soldiers placed a large number of mines on the coastline that can be approached.
These mines may not be very powerful, but they are loud enough to alert soldiers when someone attacks, not to mention...
What else? Elini's thoughts paused for a moment. There should be something else?
Elini looked around. It was very quiet. There was nothing strange around. Everyone was resting quietly.
"There's nothing...strange..." Elini confirmed.
The sleepiness kept rising in Elini's mind, and she had to go back to sleep. She was really tired today, and might be even more tired tomorrow.
Elini sat down again and closed her eyes, but after a while, she opened her eyes wide and jumped up.
"No, why is everyone sleeping? Where are the soldiers on night stand? What is this blue light?" Elini realized something was wrong.
It was too quiet, everyone was sleeping. It was impossible for the soldiers to do this, no matter how tired they were.
"Is it this blue light that's causing trouble?" Elini picked up the hand cannon and the lantern beside her and looked in the direction where the blue light came from, which was the direction of the sea.
But what Elini didn't know was that the brain has the function of forgetting and blocking. In order to prevent certain things from hurting itself, the brain will automatically block and forget certain things that may hurt itself.
And now, Elini rejected the protection of her brain and looked into the deep ocean.
"Is the sea glowing?" The first thing that caught Elini's eyes was the sea, which was emitting a faint blue light.
The sound of calm breathing came into Elini's ears. Was it just now? It seemed not to be. He seemed to have always been there.
Elini's hand holding the hand cannon couldn't stop shaking. He saw a girl lying on the sea level in front of him, as if she was sleeping.
That was the source of all these abnormalities. The moment Elini saw the girl, she was extremely sure of this. As a judge, she should have shot without hesitation, but the hand holding the gun could not stop shaking.
The breathing sound continued, and the calm breathing was accompanied by bursts of whale songs.
This is a lullaby that mortals should not hear, let alone see. The sounds of the sea lapping against the shore and the waves hitting each other are intertwined. The long whale song is interspersed with the sound of the sea, and it is peaceful and long.
"...Ocean?" Elini couldn't help but murmured as she looked at the scene in front of her. She remembered the words of the deep-sea cultist she heard this afternoon.
As Elini finished her words, the lullaby playing around suddenly stopped, the sea water was still, and the waves that had already risen also stopped in the air.
The girl in the sea sat up at some point. Was it when Elini finished speaking or earlier?
The girl seemed to be moving. Elini looked at the girl in front of her. As she got closer, Elini realized that the girl was not lying on the sea out of thin air.
There was a jellyfish under the girl, which gently lifted her up. From a distance, it looked as if the girl was floating on the water out of thin air.
The girl stood up from the jellyfish and walked forward. The jellyfish in the sea gradually floated up. In an instant, it seemed as if countless small jellyfish split into small ones, floating around the girl like stars.
The branches in the sea are sticking out of the water. Among the azure branches, there seem to be a few dark blue spots, which look magnificent with the surrounding jellyfish.
A whale carrying an iceberg appeared quietly behind her, and the whale song just now was sung by her.
This was a scene that no mortal could ever see in their lifetime, like a miracle. However, compared to the miraculous scene around her, Elini's eyes were always fixed on the girl's face.
Elini originally just wanted to see what kind of person it was that could be called the ocean, but Elini couldn't see anything clearly. The only thing she could see was the deep blue pupils.
But just looking at it, perhaps because of the glowing blue sea around her, Elini's gray pupils seemed to have a hint of blue, turning into an elegant gray-blue.
Elini threw away the hand cannon that was a symbol of her status as an Inquisitor, and took off the lantern that was a must-have for an Inquisitor.
Elini climbed over the trench and ran towards the girl. The mines on the coastline that would be triggered with the slightest touch did not make any sound even when Elini ran past.
Elini ran on the glowing sea. She did not sink, but just ran on the sea. Soon a hand grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Elini could feel a hand caressing her head, it was warm…
Elini fell asleep in the girl's arms. It seemed like a long time had passed, or perhaps just a moment, before Elini was pushed awake.
"Huh? Teacher!" Elini opened her gray-blue eyes and looked up. Seeing that it was her teacher who pushed her awake, she quickly stood up.
"are you tired?"
Elini stretched her body slightly, and a feeling of energy came over her: "No, teacher, I'm not tired."
Dario nodded: "I already know your performance yesterday. It was very good, but you should make sure to rest."
"clear."
"Well, be careful. Although I don't know why Hai Si didn't kill anyone, you should be alert. There must be a deeper reason for him to do this."
"Teacher, what about the, uh, soldiers that Kaiji treated?"
"Yesterday, they were sent to the hospital. Some soldiers volunteered to go to the institute to study what happened."
Dario sighed. Even an experienced inquisitor like him could not understand what the Haisi were trying to do.
"Be vigilant, Elini, and don't trust the enemy's mercy." Dario stared into Elini's gray-blue eyes and warned.
"……is teacher."
Penguin Logistics.
The indescribable penguin screams instantly resounded throughout the building.
"Where are my employees! It's ten o'clock, where are they?" The emperor stared at Xiyue who was drinking tea in front of him.
It was already ten o'clock when he came back. He originally just wanted to see how Xiyue and his employees got along, but he saw that only Xiyue stayed in the hall.
Originally, the emperor thought that these four people had gone to work, but when he opened his mobile phone, he found that none of the four people had clocked in today.
"Probably still lying in bed." Xiyue pointed to the staff dormitory deep in the hall.
"It's ten o'clock, and they haven't gotten up yet. Did they steal the chicken last night?"
Xiyue smiled and pointed to the five boxes of wine placed against the wall.
"...drinking contest?"
"Drinking contest."
The emperor nodded in understanding. It was obvious that his daughter had offended the wrong people while drinking.
"Is this the Archangel's idea?" Although the emperor's words were questioning, his tone was very affirmative.
"Drank, how much?"
"Angel of Exorcism, three bottles, fell down when I drank the fourth bottle and she wanted to drink the fourth bottle, Croissant, six bottles fell down, Texas, three bottles, two bottles empty."
Xiyue thought for a moment and added, "She drank a little while eating hot pot. I originally wanted to let them go, but Croissant and Exia got Hong drunk."
The emperor pushed up his sunglasses and asked, "Where are the two people behind?"
“…We had a blast.”
The emperor sighed. His own girl is looking for death! Drinking with the Sea God, even Xingxiong from the Guard Bureau didn't dare to say whether he could get the other drunk before he passed out.
It's no use for those girls to drink themselves into the hospital.
"Okay, tell them to remember to clock in for work this afternoon."
At least it seemed that they were getting along well. After learning this, the emperor left.
After the emperor left, Xiyue looked into the room and saw that the four people almost had to hold on to the wall when they came out. Last night's drinking contest had left them with severe hangovers.
As for why I woke up just now, of course it was because of the penguin scream of the Emperor just now. As for why I came out just now, well, it’s better to pretend to be a grandson in front of the boss.
"Awake? I prepared some sugar water for you. A hangover is very uncomfortable." Xiyue looked at the four people who collapsed directly on the sofa, turned into the kitchen, and brought out four bowls of water.
The four of them thanked them and drank it. Then, a strange smell rushed straight to the top of their heads.
"Ahem! What kind of sugar water is this?" As a loyal sweet lover, Angel Energy disagreed on the spot and jumped up. Then she found that her dizziness symptoms seemed to have eased a lot.
"A special secret recipe for hangover remedy." Xiyue took out a small bottle from his jacket pocket and shook it in front of everyone.
Xiyue found this thing in the system as a hangover sobering thing when she remembered that they had drunk so much alcohol in the morning. She was sure that she would be fine, but the others might feel uncomfortable.
[Item: Alcohol Sobering Water]
[Type: consumables]
【Effect: Relieve or eliminate hangover phenomenon】
[Description: An excellent secret recipe for hangovers, but be careful not to take too much, otherwise everything you eat will taste bitter within 1 to 2 months.]
[Price: 1500 medical points]
Xiyue looked at the slightly uncomfortable expressions of the few people with a smile. Of course, that was not because of a hangover, but because of the taste of this thing.
Chapter 23: First Day at Penguin Logistics
"How does it feel?"
"...bitter." The four people answered almost at the same time, and there were some distorted expressions on their faces.
"Is it so bitter?" Xiyue looked at the expressions of the four people in front of her and raised the bottle in her hand in front of her.
Although the system's notes indicate that if this thing is consumed too much, everything the person eats will taste bitter for one to two months.
But, as we all know, the way to get someone to press something is to write "don't press" on it.
Xiyue stared at the small bottle in her hand. She suddenly looked forward to seeing how bitter this thing would be. In front of everyone, Xiyue reached out and picked up the glass of water on the table.
Then he picked up the cup and drank a sip of water calmly, and put the bottle back into his pocket.
What a pity, she is not such a curious person. It is enough for her to just watch other people's reactions. Xiyue likes to watch some fun, but she doesn't want to become another fun.
Angel of Power looked at Xiyue with disappointment as she had put her hand back into her pocket. She really wanted to see the expression on Xiyue's face, such an elegant woman, after taking a sip of the stuff she had just drunk.
Another croissant who wanted to watch the fun was a little disappointed, but he turned his eyes and moved closer to Xiyue.
"Hehe, Miss Xiyue, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday." Croissant took out a pendant from his clothes.
"It's a small gift, don't mind~"
Xiyue took it with a smile. It was a very simple peace pendant.
As for why there was this thing inside Croissant's clothes, it should be one of the items sold by Croissant when he set up the stall. He probably didn't sell all of them, so he put it in his pocket.
"It doesn't matter. After all, I have already got my revenge last night." Xiyue took the pendant and put it into her pocket.
Hearing what Xiyue said, the four people, especially Kong who witnessed everything that happened and the final victim, instantly flashed back to the tragic scene of last night.
At that time, the person in front of them also had that smile on his face and drank with them. Under the leadership of Angel, Croissant and Texas successively launched a drinking challenge.
As for Kong? She had no involvement in anything. She was just Xiyue, an innocent person who was dragged into this after having fun.
But at that time, the ignorant Penguin Logistics did not know that they were challenging a ridge that was absolutely impossible to climb.
Under Sora's gaze, the three people who stepped forward to challenge him fell one after another. However, the smile that remained on his face seemed to be mocking their arrogance.
As for the blush on her cheeks, it was like the bait of an anglerfish in the deep sea, attracting the ignorant girls to come forward.
"It's a complete defeat." Archangel leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but let out a cry.
Although this guy was just the first one to be pushed out as a knife-buster, it did not stop her from expressing such emotion.
After all, when she struggled to get up and went out with the help of the wall, and saw the other four people also going out with the help of the wall, and when she came to the hall and saw Xiyue with a normal face, she understood what the situation was like last night.
It was definitely a massacre. Their great Penguin Logistics was defeated by a group of people.
Wait, that’s not right. Xiyue is also a member of their Penguin Logistics. If that’s the case, then wouldn’t their Penguin Logistics be invincible at the drinking table?
Thinking of this, the halo of Angelus seemed to brighten a little, but then she also thought that it seemed that no one would drink with them.
After all, they couldn't possibly go to Officer Xingxiong, right? Although Officer Xingxiong would probably be very happy to know the news.
"Mom~" Hong stumbled out of the room at this time. Even though she was a little drowsy, Hong locked onto Xiyue at the first moment and pounced on her.
Xiyue picked up Hong and touched her head: "How do you feel?"
"Hong is feeling a little dizzy."
Xiyue nodded, and pointed her hand towards the kitchen. A tray made of water floated out with a cup on it.
"Be careful, it may be a little bitter, but you will feel much better after drinking it." Xiyue took the cup from the tray and put it in Hong's hand.
Several people nearby saw this scene, exchanged glances with each other, and then realized that they couldn't understand each other, so they picked up their mobile phones.
