"We're back!"
A few hours later, with the sound of finally relaxing home, Liz's room door was opened again.
But this time, the person who appeared in front of the door was a young girl who, although she had just experienced a war and her face was a little tired, she could still see that she was full of vigor and vitality.
"Thank you for your hard work Vivian, the news of your frontline victory is spreading across the Thousand Islands now! No, I even bought a promotional poster to hang on the wall!"
After following Liz's finger, Vivian's face turned red and she was full of embarrassment: "Ah! Why do you even Liz... take it off quickly!"
In fact, the little girl has seen many similar things on the way back.
The official version of Sanfeng's was a bit better, just using the normal viewfinder with a photo camera, but once he arrived at the stranger's side, the painting style suddenly changed.
Why, I was sitting with my legs crossed on the edge of the steps of the shrine pond. Under the white socks of the shrine maiden uniform, I was stepping on a poor little crab that had only been played with and ravaged.
Why do you turn yourself into a chef, holding a pot of steaming soup and calling for crab soup?
Why is she wearing sunglasses, a windbreaker, and a cigarette in her mouth? Behind her is the daytime aurora caused by the explosion of the Annihilation Star. The slogan next to her reads, Real women never look back at explosions...
who is it!
Who gave Stranger the permission to print posters?
The little girl plans to wait until the end of the Fall into the Abyss to investigate to the end and put an end to this corrupt trend!
And a certain wolf cub in her arms angrily accused these shameless strangers with Vivian.
While operating in both directions, he opened the game forum and continued to write his second collection of articles. He had already collected fan art of the fox-faced witch as a prize, and successfully realized the printing and monetization in the game. The next step for the little wolf cub is to take a step forward. Entering the field of fandom and preparing to dominate the light market of Thousand Islands.
It not only promotes the popularity of the fox-faced shrine maiden, but also adds to my own small treasury, so why not do it.
The little wolf cub is just a little angry.
We’ve all said we don’t want Setu, we don’t want Setu, but why are there so many fan-made Setu pictures of a fox-faced witch with big hands!
Where is your morality? Where is the bottom line? See where the links are for more! ?
For this kind of thing, the little wolf cub has absolutely zero tolerance, and will directly carry out justice and throw them all into his private collection...ah! Throw them all into the trash and clear them all with one click!
As for those Setu masters who were really good at drawing, the little wolf cub gave a lot of attention to express his anger. He hoped that these people could restrain themselves a little after finding out that they were being targeted and not be ignorant. Anyway, the updates are so slow!
By the way, since it was revealed that the fox-faced witch is Vivian, the most handsome little wolf account, which was originally run by the little wolf cub as the leader of Vivian's anti-fans, has been successfully transformed into a really fragrant account.
The ones he had posted deliberately before, such as "On Why the Fox-Faced Witch is a God", "Vivian?" The fox-faced witch teaches you what a real mainline NPC is, and "You still choose the Flame Domain at the start?" Laughing to death! ", "World Famous Paintings: Where is your Vivian? 》
Nowadays, these netizens are crazy about whipping corpses and making videos. Because they have too much contrast in the program effect, they have easily become popular. They have even been made into memes and emoticons, which are spread all over the Internet. The Bible will never be forgotten. pass.
While the little wolf cub continued to use the account of "The Most Handsome Little Wolf" on the forum, speaking stubbornly and being miserable, behind the actual screen, he was receiving the explosive traffic from the entire network, almost smiling.
Do you understand what account management is?
"Okay, okay, let's go inside first."
When Liz smiled and welcomed the indignant Vivian into the room, the little girl was still obsessed with the poster, but the little wolf cub in her arms was at the moment Vivian stepped into the room. Suddenly he raised his head slightly.
After squinting his eyes and looking around, the little wolf cub returned to its original state and lay back.
This small gesture was not noticed by the two women who were still chatting.
"So, are there only the last two waves left?" The desk was simply put together into a conference table, and Liz was discussing the follow-up actions with Vivian.
The maid Alina walked in to make tea for the two of them, and also prepared desserts for the little wolf cub. Just as Alina was about to leave after doing this, the little wolf cub grabbed her by the maid skirt and whispered a few words. , the maid nodded and left.
After a while, Alina came back, holding a magic crystal ball in her hand, and there was a woman following her.
"Huh? Shirley!" Vivian turned around and looked over, naturally recognizing the white-haired woman who walked into the room at a glance.
"Hello, Sir Vivian." Shirley bowed her head slightly and greeted the little girl respectfully.
The little girl waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No need to be like this Shirley, just call me Vivian! Otherwise it will sound weird."
"Okay, Vivian... um..."
Seeing Shirley's twisted expression, the little wolf cub sighed helplessly.
Because Shirley has a strong sense of class as a monster, Liao Zixuan has tried countless times to get Shirley to change her name, but in the end she will still become Black Master. As Vivian is on the same level as him, I am afraid that Shirley will not be called Shirley. Yes and it can’t be changed back.
but.
As for the other person present, Shirley...
"Morning, Miss Liz."
Compared with her previous respect for Vivian, when the woman's eyes moved to a certain noble girl opposite Vivian, she immediately seemed much more perfunctory.
Even before the greeting was finished, Shirley looked away from the girl, as if she didn't want to stay for one more second.
How could Liz endure it?
She was obviously not happy with such differential treatment. She glared at Shirley fiercely, crossed her arms and said in a condescending tone:
"Remember to call Lady Liz next time!"
"Okay, Liz." Shirley didn't even bother to glance at the pretentious girl, and responded expressionlessly, even omitting the original word "Miss."
"you!"
Seeing the two people arguing and quarreling in front of them, Vivian covered her mouth and snickered. The little girl shook her head and sighed:
"Well... your relationship is really good!"
But the only response to Vivian came from Liz's cold snort at the white-haired woman, and Shirley's disdain for the aristocratic girl.
Then combined with the maid Alina who was silently holding the magic crystal ball and standing by.
Regarding the scene in front of her, Vivian suddenly felt a sense of contentment and happiness in her heart.
"That's great..."
"I never thought that in Qiandao, we could get together again like we did in Yanyu! I really hope this moment lasts forever!"
For the little girl, happiness is actually that simple. The people in the room now have all experienced life and death together during the difficult period when she was still very weak. They are the best friends that Vivian believes can be with her for life.
Now that we can gather together and fight side by side again, the little girl feels full of strength! Full of confidence, even if there are a few more rounds of falling into the abyss, I won’t be afraid!
ah! That... was just a metaphor. Please, don’t do it again!
It was like a sudden whim and then realizing something was wrong.
Vivian hurriedly corrected her in her heart, not knowing who she was correcting.
Back to the topic.
Alina closed the curtains in the room, turned off the lights, and pointed the magic crystal ball towards a blank wall.
This was the precious reconnaissance images obtained by players in the early days when they desperately went deep into the Abyss.
The five leader-level monsters of the Fallen Abyss army are recorded here, and the theory of the five waves is derived from here.
At present, all the monster leaders of the first three waves have been killed.
What they need to study now is the countermeasures for the next wave of leaders.
Speaking of the boss of this fourth wave.
Even the little wolf cub had a headache.
because...
I don't know if the butterfly wings instigated by Vivian have quietly changed something where they can't see it, but at least for now...
Liao Zixuan can be sure that in the plot of Thousand Islands in his previous life, there was no such big octopus at all!
The recorded image projected on the wall was played quickly. After passing the first three bosses, everyone stared at the screen attentively. The players began to pass through the territory of the fourth boss.
However, it is a pity that no matter which player the video comes from, unlike the previous three leader territories, which are as dangerous as the previous three, this fourth sea area is calm and not a single player's reconnaissance ship has been attacked.
From the video, you can see the surprised and surprised expressions of the players at that time.
However.
When the player's reconnaissance ship finally galloped to the edge of the fourth sea area, it was about to rush into the final boss. The source of the disaster that came to the Abyss this time was the Abyss Serpent controlling the violent storm amidst the lightning and thunder. ...
Buzz!
The magical image suddenly shook, and then, accompanied by the players' screams and exclamations, the screen began to sink rapidly to the bottom of the sea.
I saw that at the bottom of their scout ship, a thick tentacle with a suction cup was firmly sucked. Then the tentacle began to retract quickly, dragging the players and the scout ship together directly into the deep sea.
It is precisely because of this that players can see that this fourth sea area is not calm, but that all the armies of the Abyss are hidden in the deepest trench.
And in the largest dark crack in the deep ravine on the seabed, a giant octopus with an unknown number of tentacles and a white body vaguely revealed its true body from the crack.
The magical image ended abruptly, but the players did not die because of their injuries. It is a bit funny to say that they died of suffocation. Because the diving time was exceeded, their health bars dropped wildly, and finally they turned into white light and disappeared.
"So...what do you think?"
Before fighting, you must analyze the enemy's intelligence, especially the information that you don't even know. This is why the little wolf cub called Shirley over.
But it was Liz who spoke first.
"I think there are three doubts in the image. First, why did the octopus let the strangers pass through its territory safely? Second, why did it attack when the strangers went out of its territory? Third, that is..."
"Judging from the images, it is fully capable of wrapping its tentacles around the stranger's ship on the sea and smashing it to pieces. But why does it just stick to it and then start... pulling it back?"
After Liz said this, the little wolf cub nodded.
Indeed, from all aspects, the behavior of this octopus is very strange, and it seems to be completely different from the first three bosses. The most powerful evidence for this is actually the boss panel brought back by the players.

"I suspect...it is an abyssal creature with rudimentary "wisdom." "Shirley finally spoke.
The atmosphere in the room became tense as soon as he opened his mouth.
Falling into the abyss...wisdom! ?
Liz found it a little hard to accept that these two words could be combined. Originally, this evil force that came from nowhere was terrifying enough, but how could it still be wise...
No, that kind of person who only knows killing and bloodthirsty, and does not even have survival as the goal, just to eliminate living beings, like a virus, how can he be intelligent?
But the words Liz wanted to retort couldn't come out of her mouth.
Because right now, isn’t there a living example like “Shirley” in front of me?
"I suspect it is very possible that it is playing tricks on those strangers. Just like many top predators, they are not eager to kill prey that has no resistance. They enjoy the fun of hunting and then kill the prey. It makes sense to give the final blow when you are about to escape and enjoy the desperate look of the prey."
"I agree with Miss Shirley's opinion. After my comparative analysis with the database, the possibility of this creature being intelligent is as high as 70%."
Alina, the maid next to her, raised her hand in approval.
Now...it's a little tricky.
Everyone in the room was slightly silent, because everyone knew that there was a huge difference between an enemy who only followed instinct and an enemy with intelligence.
Just like the devil crabs in the previous wave, if the opponent has wisdom, he can sense that something is wrong when the Qiandao army retreats in a large area, and then retreat conservatively, instead of just staying in place to make a living. target.
But, at this moment...
"That..." Vivian raised her little hand.
When everyone looked over, the little girl was a little hesitant, but finally decided to express her opinion.
"Do you think there is a possibility that this octopus is not playing tricks on strangers like Shirley said, but is... saving them!"
save! ?
Shirley and Liz both frowned, suspecting that they heard wrongly.
But Vivian continued to insist.
"It is precisely because that octopus is not aggressive that people from foreign lands can be so safe in its waters. And when people from foreign lands want to sail out and come to the fifth sea area, where the serpent falls into the abyss, the octopus knows that it is very dangerous. That’s why you choose to extend your tentacles at this time, hoping to bring the stranger back, it’s a bit like...it’s dangerous over there, don’t run around?”
The little girl spoke more fluently, and her eyes glowed, which sounded a little... to the ears of other people in the room...
Liz asked helplessly: "According to your statement, why does the octopus drag strangers into the deep sea and drown them? Doesn't it want to protect us?"
"But, maybe...ah, right! Maybe that octopus didn't expect that we humans would be so fragile? We can't breathe underwater?" Vivian stuttered at first, but suddenly an idea flashed behind her.
"Well..."
This time, Liz fell into the trap of wanting to refute, but at first thought...
It seems that if you force an explanation, it can be explained.
But obviously.
Liz felt that if a hundred people watched this video, not one of them would be able to understand it like the little girl. All I can say is...it's really very Vivian.
After reading it a few more times, there was no gain. Everyone could only decide to do this for the time being and try to see if they could take advantage of the current gap to send strangers over to get more information.
but.
Just when everyone is preparing to say goodbye...
"Huh? Xiaohei?"
Vivian habitually wanted to carry the wolf cub away, but was rejected by the wolf cub with her paws. Then she clicked here in the study room to indicate that she would stay in the room for a while, and then waved her paws to signal to Weiwei. Wei An and the others leave first.
Just when the little girl was still confused, and Liz, the owner of the room, was stunned and didn't react, Shirley was the first to speak out.
"Ms. Vivian, let's go first. Miss Liz is probably hungry again."
"Huh? Hungry...hungry?"
"Yes, as a vampire who is not satisfied with her desires, it is common for her to be thirsty, and she is a picky eater, so..."
Although Shirley's face was expressionless and her tone was very flat, you could still hear a strong sense of sarcasm no matter how you listened.
After Shirley's explanation, the little girl looked like she suddenly understood. Looking back, Xiao Hei did mention this matter to her.
Originally, Vivian wanted to stay. She blinked her big curious eyes and wanted to gain more knowledge. Unfortunately, she was taken away by the maid and Shirley.
"No, wait, what!?"
"No, I didn't. Don't listen to that bastard Shirley's nonsense, Wei..."
When Liz came back to her senses with her face flushed, she wanted to stop the little girl to defend herself, but the door was already closed.
"…white!"
Liz wished she could find a crack in the ground to dig in. She didn't know how to see Vivian in the future. When the noble girl turned her head with shame and anger, she wanted to question the little wolf cub.
But what she got instead was the look from the little wolf cub, as if he was examining a prisoner.
His paws tapped on the table.
See what that means.
Is it because you confessed and gave a lenient explanation, or... do you have to go through the process last time in the boat?
