Moby Dick.
Xia Ye leaned on the bed in her cabin, looking at the sea of clouds outside the window, while Xiu Ji lay on her lap and fell asleep.
Four days have passed since Susa launched pollen towards the city of Debsota. Since then, the flower has been curled up in the cup and never came out. It seems that it will remain there until it returns to Debsota. So dormant.
I wonder what’s going on with Chris? Xia Ye couldn't help but think that even though Chris didn't go to sea, the dangers she faced were no less dangerous than those like herself who went to sea. The executives of "Ocean Ship Leasing" are not fools. Chris's misappropriation of Moore will definitely be discovered. The only difference is sooner or later, and what measures the other party will take after discovering it.
However, now that the message has been sent, no matter how worried I am, I have no choice but to hope that the situation over there won't be too bad.
Xia Ye stopped thinking about this matter. She once again opened the "rift" contract she signed and read the contents.
Compared to the first time I saw it, the entire contract was completely different.
Almost all clauses are covered by ■.
This situation happened 4 days ago. At that time, Su Sharuo said to her meaningfully, "Let's take a closer look at the contents of the contract." Therefore, not long after Su Sha went to sleep, Xia Ye once again clicked on the " Rift" contract.
Then, she saw a dark area.
Except for a few basic information such as the person who signed the contract and the contract number, all the terms have become invisible.
After being shocked for a long time, Xia Ye finally began to think about what was going on.
After denying the meaningless hypothesis that "Susa deliberately painted the contract black with unknown power", she gradually determined an entry point:
The Witch's Contract is not a completely objective thing. Its bottom layer is idealistic, or at least partially idealistic.
Although its format is very standardized and its terms are formally rigorous, when Xia Ye saw it for the first time, she instinctively thought that it was something objective, consistent in standards, and unchangeable.
But no.
The first is the expressions such as "reasonable cognition" and "universal cognition" that are often seen in the witch's contract. Ever since Xia Ye noticed this, she began to suspect that the witch's contract has some kind of idealism.
What's even more outrageous is the impact of adaptability on the witch contract. This impact is not limited to the numerical value of the original terms, but also includes various strange supplementary terms, such as the "structural strengthening" signed by the chief engineer. There are supplementary clauses such as limiting the speed of expression that have nothing to do with the original contract content; another example is my own "return to the soul", there are so many supplementary clauses that it can be written into another contract.
So--
Returning to this "crack", is there a possibility that the terms of the "crack" that I saw before were the terms that I thought a normal "crack" contract should have based on the knowledge in the cup?
Since Susha's words aroused his suspicion, cracks have appeared in this false cognition, but because he doesn't know what the true content of this "crack" is, he can only see a black square.
But...do I really not know the contents of this "crack" at all?
Four days ago, when she thought of this, some of the black squares in the contract suddenly disappeared, replaced by readable writing.
As of today, Xia Ye at least knows that this contract is a three-party agreement. In addition to herself as the contract maker, there are two other contract parties. She strongly suspects that they are the Shoggoth that Xiuji belongs to, and Su. The flower that Sha belongs to, but for some reason, she still cannot see the names of these two parties.
In addition, she also saw a clause——
"After the contract maker tears a rift connecting the different spaces, he cannot summon any existence other than the contractor ■■ and the contractor ■■; except for the [first] summons, the contractor ■■ and the contractor ■■ have no obligation Answer the call of the one who made the covenant.”
"..."
In other words, next time I use "rift", whether I can still summon Xiuji and Susha's true form depends on the other party's mood...
When she read this article, Xia Ye couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, Susha reminded her to look at the contract again. Otherwise, if she used it as a big move to suppress the bottom of the box next time, nothing would be summoned. Come out, wouldn't that mean "painting is beautiful without looking at it".
Now it seems that the two contracts that came with him after his rebirth: "Return to Soul" and "Crack" are not normal, and even the degree of abnormality is very abnormal.
Thinking of this, Xia Ye couldn't help but wonder, who is she?
There was a sudden itching in my throat.
Xia Ye immediately looked at the mirror, and sure enough, the flowers on her head bloomed again.
"Are you awake?" she said to Sousa. "I thought you were going to sleep until we got back to Debsota."
"Because there is a reply to the letter, I will continue to sleep after I finish telling you the content of the letter." Hua Hua said.
"reply?"
"Yes, didn't you ask me to send a message to Chris? Chris also wanted to ask you something, so I helped her send the message back."
"Can it still be like this?" Xia Ye said in surprise, "I thought you could only send a message to Chris in one direction."
"Then you underestimate this god. Will you listen to the reply?" Susha seemed a little impatient.
"Listen. But I still want to ask you how you did it first?" Xia Ye still didn't give up, "You shouldn't let Chris have a flower growing on her head, right?"
"No. Do you think anyone can be the carrier of this god?"
"So how did you..."
"If you don't want to hear it, I will go to sleep."
"No!" Xia Ye had no choice but to give up asking, "Just tell me."
"Then listen carefully:
Lord Xia Ye, first of all, please let me express my most sincere gratitude to you. If it weren’t for your help, I would have turned into a cup now..."
Huahua imitated Chris' tone and repeated her message. The content was basically the experiences she had encountered in the past few days. According to the message, Chris has successfully reunited with Luca and Lilian, and is currently hiding in the safe house. There has been no new attack yet. If this continues, there will be no problem at least until the Moby-Dick returns.
But at the end, Chris mentioned something that puzzled her:
"There are various signs that the 'Yuan Ship Charter' has discovered a financial hole and also discovered that a ship was lost. It also confirmed that I was responsible for all this. But why did they try every possible means to kill me instead of killing me?" Should I be captured alive? What good would a dead me do to them? Don’t they want to know where the lost boat went? Or is there someone else who wants to kill me? I don’t know what Mr. Xia Ye thinks about this. What do you think?"
"That's what Chris said." Huahua said, "Do you have anything else to say to her? Tell me quickly. I'll go to bed after I finish delivering the message for you."
"You have to give me some time to think, right?" Su Sha spread her hands.
"That's right...then I'll wait for you for 10 minutes."
Hearing what Hua Hua said, Xia Ye had no choice but to take the time to think about Chris's problem...
But in less than half a minute, she already knew the answer.
Because she didn't think about it at all, she just recalled Chris's statement again, and then discovered that what the other person encountered was a very typical situation.
This situation may seem completely incomprehensible to people who encounter it for the first time.
But in the eyes of those who have experienced it, it is as natural as "people will die if they lose their heads."
Xia Ye had already experienced similar things several times in her previous world.
