"Uh...uh!"
Ke Qier snorted twice and jumped up suddenly. The first one was gibbering in a daze, and the second one was waking up after being punched by Yi Cha.
"The tide is rising."
Yicha dropped three short words and jumped out of the window.
He concentrated on moving between the two reservoirs.
Without looking up, the scene he saw just now was already imprinted in his mind——
The center of the sea surface bulges upward.
The majestic and beautiful whirlpool of the Ocean of Nothingness reveals a silhouette. As the bulge slowly rises, it seems like a lonely giant spirit staring out into the sky——
Ten shining moons set off it like a ruthless crown on the queen's head.
The lower part of the lavender tornado was revealed, and it instantly spread to the coastline like a rotating skirt.
spread across the coastline.
Once you cross the coastline, the skirt is no longer a skirt.
It has returned to the majesty and weirdness of the ancient weather, like an iceberg proudly telling a sunken ship that it has carefully planned and accumulated nine times more than what can be seen under the water. It pulls out countless tentacles from below and stretches out overwhelmingly toward the shore——
The tentacles of the great whirlpool of the ocean of nothingness caressed the hard shore with cold light.
The coast is fine. There are also no residential areas around the coast.
But everything on the coast - a few passing crabs, birds flying too low due to caution, and unknown excrement as round as bottle caps - all disappeared silently in the tentacles.
It's like it was ripped off the drawing paper out of thin air.
high tide.
Ke Qier's cut-out record without cover——
is a tidal record.
The tide of the Ocean of Nothingness suddenly began to rise fifty years ago for unknown reasons. The entire coast was engulfed by repeated sweeps of nothingness.
"That's why this place was abandoned..."
Ke Qier flew behind Yi Cha, crying sadly amidst the whimpering sound of the waves. "We're almost here! It's all empty energy that has not been purified, be careful!"
"I'll bring the money."
Yi Cha replied shortly and landed between the two reservoirs. He grabbed a handful of statues directly from his arms.
The water in both reservoirs rippled slightly to one side.
Yi Cha felt a tug from his waist, and the statue almost fell from his hands. He flapped his wings and stood firm. He turned around and saw that the faint purple tentacles were gently——
Rewind.
With this graceful rewind, everything nearby, even if not touched, is sucked out to sea. including temperature.
cold.
It was freezing cold.
"Oops!" Ke Qier fell to the side in a mess and rolled down the slope.
Other than that, there's not much else nearby - the tides always rise and fall, after all. This has been going on for more than fifty years.
But Icha could still see the gentle slope of the dam, and several dark wellheads at the farthest end, which disappeared out of thin air under the tear of the purple wave——
The special geology along the coast of the End of the Realm may contain elements of resting stone and is not affected by the Ocean of Nothingness...
But those wells are not immune...
They are...
Swallowed by "emptiness".
That's why the number of these wells is so much less than the marks on the chessboard!
After a rewind, the tide continues.
All the tilts that were pulled out began to rebound and reset.
"I see."
Keqier used his hands, feet and wings to gallop back close to the ground. He looked embarrassed, but his words were full of unbefitting wisdom. "This tide has even disrupted the position of the plane passage. That's why we fell into this damn place!"
It was too late for Cha to agree.
A new wave of rising tide has begun.
This time it was bigger and faster than before. The whimpering sound came from far away and seemed to be swallowed up with their location.
It's very possible...after all, according to records, after the sudden surge, the rising tide of the Ocean of Nothingness spread farther and farther each time.
"Wait until I get the money. Hurry up and leave." Yi Cha squeezed the pile of statues in his hand——
A dozen wooden sculptured arms protruded from between his fingers, holding various weapons—including a long grappling hook.
The enchanted arms moved creakingly, and the grappling hooks and rakes grabbed the boiling lead money box and pulled it outward. There was another small black iron shovel shoveling underneath, and a hammer hammering on the corners to loosen the card slots of the cash box.
The cash box made a harsh scraping sound as it was being dragged.
"Take the money and leave me alone."
Ke Qil suddenly remembered something, frowned, and immediately waved his wings with thrust, jumping towards the deep narrow wells on the gentle slope. "I have to save the ones who are alive. They will be eaten by the rising tide."
"Angel."
"Ah?" Ke Qier turned his head blankly in the air.
Under the bad faces of ten huge moons——
A statue holding a fishing rod and a bottle containing logic beads crossed an arc and flew towards the sky.
Ke Qier was startled for a brief moment, and then he immediately burst out with swiftness, turning around twice to catch them in his hand.
"Only enough for one. Don't break the bottle." Icha's voice came over. "There's no need to force it."
"Oh my God, you are so..."
"That word is hard for us to hear."
"...Okay. Uh. No more."
Ke Qier usually moved slowly, but at this moment he was surprisingly agile. As he spoke, he came to the wellhead where the living structure was. He opened the bottle with a flick of his right hand, and the logic beads fell from the mouth of the bottle into the deep well.
"Hello. Poor little guy. Excuse me. I'm here to save you."
The angel spoke gently into the well and dropped the fishing rod.
The force of the tide pulled them back and forth.
The ten rows of deep wells at the bottom of the gentle slope of the dam have disappeared without a trace, and the square array has become shorter.
The thin air vibrated.
The smooth and traceless ground shook.
The water levels in the two reservoirs were as wrinkled as a rag left too late under an elephant's buttocks.
Yi Cha used an iron claw to clamp the boiling lead money box, lifted it up, and turned to call Ke Qier.
fine.
The angel didn't do anything stupid. He was clumsily grabbing the fishing rod, flying in the air, and approaching here.
Flying in the air with him was a structure with a round head and a round head - four thin legs and arms hanging softly by its sides, and the traces of noise on its face had been smoothed out by logic beads.
"His name is Amplitude Three Hundred." Ke Qier introduced enthusiastically. "I just know! As long as he is full, he can fly. Poor little boy, please say something. You can talk as you like now, don't wait for us to ask. We hope you can talk more." He patted the structure. The back of the body.
"You saved me!" Big eyes like black gems with an amplitude of 300 looked at Yicha sincerely, and his two soft semicircular hands pinched together. "You keep your word and you saved me! Please let me praise you forever! You are the best angels in the world. You are, you are, you are all. Woohoo."
I'm really convinced. To check.
Ke Qier was about to laugh - but he glanced at the approaching new huge wave and looked worried again.
The next wave may swallow up the remaining structures and the well.
"The best angel. Where are you going? Please let me follow you." Amplitude 300 blinked. "please."
Yi Cha rubbed his forehead and asked Ke Qier, "How many unlucky ones are left?"
"Less than ten," said the angel.
