Chapter 74 The Mystery of the Deep Sea
At the opera house square...
“I’m sorry, but this is Mr. Carles’ last wish. I can’t let him down. I must ensure your safety. If he were still alive, he would do the same.”
Clarind firmly denied Navia's words.
"You, don't mention my father."
Navia's face darkened, and she suppressed her anger as she spoke.
“Miss Kroninde, I must thank you for your help, but please watch your tone. We don’t need to hurt feelings with these words. Besides, we could have handled it even if you hadn’t come.”
Mailer stood with his hands on his hips, speaking seriously.
"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."
Clarind lowered her head in remorse, but her face remained expressionless.
"Hey, never mind, what else do you know? And why do you think I'm dangerous?"
Navia breathed a sigh of relief and stopped dwelling on what had happened, getting down to business.
"I probably don't know more than you do. I believe the mastermind behind the serial disappearances of girls has powerful influence, and your performance today will definitely attract their attention."
"Clolind said in a very serious tone."
"Heh, they should have been watching me a long time ago. Rather, I find it very strange that they're only making their move now. As for these security agencies, I always thought only the 'Direct Law Court' could control them."
Navia snorted coldly, seemingly unconcerned.
“I just observed that none of these guard units have numbers, so they are not upright agencies used for law enforcement. They must have been illegally acquired and stockpiled by some wealthy or powerful forces for use as private firepower.”
At this point, Clarind looked at the mechanisms lying on the ground and clenched her fist.
"Okay, so in short, it's probably a force that the Rose Society can't beat right now, right?"
Navia shook her head and said helplessly.
"Yes, please be careful and do not act rashly. Also, beware of the Fools."
After speaking, Clorind stared at the boy behind Navia. If he hadn't helped, she would have arrested him long ago if he were standing in front of her. But she could only remind him, since she still owed him a favor.
"Yes, I will continue to investigate no matter what. It was my father's true last wish to bring the truth to light. I have remembered your words, but I also have my own ideas."
Navia said firmly.
"Well, goodbye, everyone."
After finishing her sentence, Clarind quietly left, her gaze turning cold.
"Well, okay, that might be the best news of the day."
Navia said, watching his departing figure.
"How is Ying? She hasn't woken up yet."
The boy blurted out, wanting to squat down and check on her condition.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Paimon floated in front of Yingde and used his hands to block the boy's body.
"Feel sorry!"
The boy clenched his fist and slowly retreated. Only then did he realize that he had another identity, wearing a mask and changing his appearance. It was normal for this cute little guy who loved to eat not to recognize him and to be wary of him. Thinking of this, he silently gritted his teeth and walked to the pile of metal machines.
A blinding flame appeared in his hand, and the fire burned the mechanisms to ashes, which were then blown into the air.
“Miss Navia, it’s getting late, so we’ll take our leave now. As for Paimon, don’t worry, I won’t harm your friend. He still owes me a promise, and I won’t let him get hurt.”
After speaking, the young man summoned a flying sword from his palm and left.
"goodbye……"
Navia murmured to herself as she watched the boy soar into the sky.
"Tear... Navia, what are you doing here...? What just happened?"
Ying opened her eyes, touched her aching head, and said.
"Ying, you're awake! You scared me to death..."
Paimon embraced Luminous, sobbing as he recounted what had just happened and the boy's words.
"Hmm, is that so!"
Ying stood up from the floor, patted the bottom of her skirt, and said.
"Yeah, Ying, I thought we were doomed!"
Paimon blinked, and a few tiny tears slid down his cheeks.
"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine!"
Ying reached out and gently wiped away Paimon's tears, speaking softly.
"Yes, those security personnel were hiding in the shadows. They suddenly appeared after you fainted. If it weren't for the executive officer arriving with Navia and the others, we probably would have been..."
As Paimon spoke, he buried his face in Ying's chest and cried.
Ying hugged her helplessly, feeling sorry for her when she thought about what had just happened.
"Thank you, Miss Navia."
Ying spoke sincerely to Miss Navia, her eyes sparkling with gratitude.
"Alright, stop with the formalities. I never considered that meal a farewell dinner. I want every meal we have together to be a celebration, so we're still good partners. There's nothing to thank me for."
Navia looked at them so warmly and smiled as she spoke.
"Um……"
Ying's tone was full of helplessness and emotion.
"I never expected that I would end up being dragged into this conflict..."
Her eyes gazed into the distance with a somewhat lost look, as if she were recalling something.
A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, bringing a touch of coolness, but it did little to calm the turmoil within her. She took a deep breath and continued talking to herself.
"Perhaps this is fate. No matter how you try to escape it, what's meant to happen will happen."
Ying's voice carried a hint of weariness, as if she had already experienced many things.
She frowned slightly, pondering how to deal with the situation ahead.
the next day……
The morning sunlight, like a golden veil, spilled across the earth, casting a warm glow over every corner of the city. In the streets and alleys, early risers basked in this gentle sunlight, beginning their new day.
"Lady Funina, you've arrived quite early. It seems you also value this matter."
Zhao Chuan looked at Funina, whose face was fair and whose clothes were clean and elegant, and said.
"Stop being so sarcastic and let's go."
Fu Ningna rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to say anything more.
"Well, Ms. Funina, at this point, I must solemnly remind you that this investigation may be risky, and I don't know what we might face, so have you made up your mind?"
Zhao Chuan crossed his arms and stared at the girl in front of him with a serious look.
“I… well, I’m ready, for the future of Fontaine.”
After hesitating for a moment, filled with inner struggle, Fu Ningna finally made up her mind and said...
"Okay, this time our investigation will take place on a beach in the 'Mortée District'."
Zhao Chuan stopped hiding his information and revealed what he knew.
"You mean, the Sailuohai Plain..."
After listening, Funina also began to think about it.
"Yes, that's right."
Zhao Chuan nodded and said.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?"
Fu Ningna grabbed Zhao Chuan's hand and quickly walked towards the station.
A while later...
The two arrived at a flat area in the Morte district, where the view was expansive and one could see the vast ocean in the distance.
A refreshing sea breeze caresses the face, making one feel relaxed and invigorated, but this is not the time to relax.
They began to carefully search for clues in the vicinity, cautiously groping their way forward, and eventually reached the beach.
However, after searching for a while, they found nothing of value except a few empty bottles.
Just as Zhao Chuan was beginning to have doubts, Fu Ningna seemed to have noticed something unusual.
"Zhao Chuan, look, there seems to be something in the sea. It looks like a crack, but strangely, the water doesn't seem to be able to get into it."
She patted Zhao Chuan's shoulder lightly and pointed to the sea.
Zhao Chuan looked in the direction Funina was pointing and indeed saw a crack faintly visible in the seawater. He frowned, staring at the mysterious crack, pondering to himself.
What exactly does this crack mean? Is it related to the clues we're looking for? A barrage of questions flooded Zhao Chuan's mind, making him increasingly aware that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"We can't find any clues on land. Why don't we go check inside? Maybe we'll find some clues there?"
Funina carefully examined the empty bottles she had picked up. The bottles were printed with the words "Fengda". She then stared at the crack in the water.
"Hmm, don't you find it strange? You just said yourself that the crack seems to be separating the water. Things might not be that simple. Wait a moment, I'll go check if there's anything wrong with the water?"
Zhao Chuan swiftly extended his arm, blocking Funina, who was eager to rush forward.
Then, without hesitation, he lifted his leg and stepped forward, slowly putting his hand into the seawater.
"How is everything? If there's nothing serious, let's go into the water and check it out!"
Funina was extremely anxious. She rushed to Zhao Chuan's side and stared intently at him as he carefully sensed the condition of the seawater. She then asked in a low voice.
"Hmm, so far there seems to be nothing unusual, but just in case, let me help you create a sturdy water shield before we dive down."
Zhao Chuan carefully stretched out his palm, concentrating on using his spiritual power to sense the temperature of the sea.
After a moment, he gently shook his hands a few times, and then began to make hand seals to cast a spell.
A few minutes later, a crystal-clear blue water sphere appeared around Funina, completely enveloping her. Eventually, this shield gradually disappeared without a trace.
"Mission accomplished! Now we can safely go into the water."
After Zhao Chuan finished giving his brief instructions, he jumped into the water without saying another word, with Fu Ningna following closely behind.
Together they swam toward the narrow, deep crevice with all their might. However, as they drew closer, Zhao Chuan's unease grew stronger.
However, as they clearly saw the crack, a powerful suction suddenly came and pulled them in tightly.
They were terrified and tried to struggle to escape, but it was too late.
Zhao Chuan and Fu Ningna were powerless to resist and were dragged into the deep darkness by this mysterious force.
Just as they realized the danger and tried to swim back, the crack vanished without a trace, like a ghost.
It was as if it had never existed, leaving two helpless people trapped in an unknown situation.
