Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

The effect of this materialized form seems to be aimed at the demons of the North.

It was neither a dream about the Fool, nor a dream about Laurentina and Skadi.

Wearing a retro aerospace enthusiast's uniform, Lotin appeared at the association's original members' home.

The place is filled with many old aerospace models: the first welded spherical satellite, a sturdy rocket standing upright on the platform like a poplar tree, bulky old-fashioned spacesuits in glass cases, and tracked exploration vehicles with their solar panels open.

The enthusiasts of this association love to reminisce about the past when that civilization first touched space, and [astronaut Nautilus] is one of them.

The excitement of touching the stars for the first time always carries an irreplaceable touch of romance.

Our journey is to the stars and the sea.

Pre-civilizational text is displayed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows; this is the association's slogan.

"So, how could this dream feel so real?"

As Luo Ting observed the various aerospace equipment displayed in the association's activity center, he couldn't help but wonder if his brain could really recall such a precise and complex mechanical structure.

Two people were sitting around a round table where association members gathered to exchange information.

One was a Doctor from Rhodes Island, but her black robe bore neither the Rhodes Island insignia nor the Tower of Babel emblem. This "Doctor" had lifeless eyes and remained silent.

On the other side sat a smiling woman with long black hair, whose rationality concealed a madness even greater than that of Luo Ting.

The eerie rhombuses in his black eyes instantly alerted Luo Ting.

"You realized so quickly that this was a dream."

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Nautilus, I must acknowledge your powerful will.”

Her approval was cold and hostile.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Ms. Precyth, right?"

Luo Ting calmly sat down on the other side of the round table.

He thought that Precys' influence was probably amplified because he was closer to Lentinium.

"So why would a respected scientist like yourself specifically seek out a conversation with an unknown retro space enthusiast?"

Lotin spread her hands, talking to herself in the dream; this seemed to be the limit of the influence she could exert on herself now.

"What on earth do you want to do to her?"

Precys's words revealed a cold rationality, but Lotin could sense the obsession and possessiveness hidden within, because he was also that kind of person, at least outwardly appearing both reliable and normal.

In terms of personality alone, Precys is quite charming in Lotin's eyes, but unfortunately, the person she likes is the Doctor, and his behavior is quite dangerous.

"Seeing fellow countrymen lonely, depressed, and haggard in this unfamiliar world, it is only natural to support each other and help each other overcome difficulties, Ms. Precys."

Luo Ting said this with a clear conscience; he truly treated the doctor from that perspective and with that same authority.

How could Priscilla not know?

But the other party was, after all, a survivor of a previous civilization. Unlike those alien female agents, she always confidently believed that those beast-eared girls could not pose any threat to her position in the Doctor's heart.

Because of her past experience with the Civilization, she knew that Loting would not only not harm the Doctor, but would also protect him, and even generously fulfill his willfulness and desires.

The defeat was also due to the previous civilization. It was precisely because Lotin was regarded as a cherished kin by the Doctor that Precys felt immense pressure.

“Ms. Precyth, I can certainly do as you wish and keep my distance from her, but can you really bear to watch her wither away alone in front of the mirror at midnight?”

"What utterly ridiculous sophistry! Do you even know that the word 'intimate' would be an insult to our past relationship?"

"Since you are so certain, why doubt my friendship as a fellow townsman?"

Lotin's question stumped Precys.

Since she seems so confident about everything, what's the rush for her to find me in a dream?

"While you were flirting with those fish, she was in the office late at night, stroking the coin you gave her and talking to herself."

"how long?"

"Including now."

Now it was Loting's turn to feel a little awkward.

“We are compatriots, and perhaps my attitude towards her as a fellow countryman has caused you to misunderstand.”

"If there's anything you're not comfortable doing yourself, as long as the content is reasonable, I can do it for you."

Loting intended to treat both sides equally, and he solemnly made this suggestion, of course, only if the content was "reasonable".

Compared to the Doctor and Precyth, Lotin was indeed an undeniably ancient civilization.

Precys panicked even more. Was the Doctor and the two fish not enough for him? Did he really want to humiliate her in this way?

No. It seems he genuinely only feels kinship with the doctor. Therefore, his suggestion is merely a way to prove his innocence.

But what if the other party is just concerned about each other as compatriots and makes the "doctor" gradually become obsessed? Wouldn't that be even more terrible?

"Is Mr. Nautilus truly telling the truth?"

Precys felt she had to make the Doctor understand that she was not special in front of Lotin, even among members of the former civilization.

"Nautilus never breaks his word."

Loting remained remarkably calm.

Then, Lotin received a skin shard of [Crystal Titan].

Luo Ting was stunned.

Why are there skins that can only be obtained by completing tasks in the dungeon?

The strange game between Lotin and Precyth began.

Chapter 105: Titan, you're still the Steeljaw God of War!

Precys suddenly found Lotin's suggestion somewhat amusing. Among these Terra animals, there were even those who called themselves "creators," and she could grant almost any wish the Doctor wanted.

What can a small-time retro space enthusiast do for himself?

From Precys' perspective, Lotin, as an ordinary member of the previous civilization, naturally had no idea about the full picture and details of the various survival plans.

Asking him directly to "spread Originium across the land" didn't seem very realistic. Precys simply felt that Lotin didn't have that ability.

As a visitor from another world, Loting's knowledge of the plot created an information gap that continues to play a role at this moment.

"Since you're treating me as a fellow countryman, don't you want to continue the plan to preserve civilization?"

Precys was unable to probe further into Lotin's mind, so she tested Lotin's attitude.

Upon hearing this, Loting realized that the test was far too obvious. Precys only had eyes for the Doctor, and even the other leaders of the survival program described her as "crazy."

Her sudden and abrupt invocation of civilized principles in front of me was clearly intentional.

"A survival plan? You mean, our former civilization, still has hope of being saved?"

Lotin feigned surprise quite naturally. This was his dream, and he was gradually taking control. Although Lotin was actually fully aware of the current state of these survival plans, Precys still couldn't see through his disguise.

If Lao Pu tries to torture Loting with the idea of ​​"covering the earth with Originium", then he will just pretend to be stupid and say that he, Loting, was an ordinary person in the previous civilization and knew nothing. He can't say that he, Lao Pu, was the one who pretended to be ignorant, can he?

"Forget it, I can't expect you history enthusiasts to be of any great use."

Precys's statement is actually somewhat biased. Astronaut Nautilus's official identity in the pre-civilization was actually that of a historian of space exploration, not just an enthusiast of the association. However, it's true that he was of little use in the face of the civilization's survival plan.

If this identity is closely related to the survival plan of the previous civilization, then Lotin has little room to play dumb.

"In order for the plan to ensure the continuation of civilization to proceed, you need to bring another person in charge of the plan here to see me."

"That is, a PhD."

Precys didn't usually address her as "Doctor"; she only used the title for the sake of Lotting's understanding.

"Um, may I ask...?"

Where does "here" refer to?

Loting knew for sure she was referring to the internalized universe within the "Originium," but he had to ask knowingly.

Moreover, Prisus in the inner universe of that Originium only refers to himself as an "illusion" in the story. Even Lotin, who knows the plot, does not know that Prisus truly exists.

Because it wasn't explicitly stated in the plot up to Luo Ting's time travel.

“The horned aliens stole the beautiful creation that she and I made together. Take it back, and the information I left behind about the survival of civilization is in it.”

It seems that the one currently conversing with Lotin is most likely Precys' true consciousness, rather than the messages and illusions she left behind.

She's really desperate. She's still trying to intimidate people with the idea of ​​"the survival of civilization."

Upon hearing this request, Loting was overjoyed. In the original storyline, the Doctor was supposed to enter the internalized universe within this Originium to communicate with the illusion she left behind.

He doesn't need to do anything special at all.

In the end, this Originium was still taken away by Professor Trunks.

However, if Loting pays special attention, it's not impossible for him to keep this Originium, since the risk of leaving it in Teacher Grandmaster's hands is indeed higher.

"I want to confirm one last thing, Ms. Precyth, are all of the doctor's actions real?"

Skadi and Laurentina's stress response has not yet given Lotin a definitive answer.

But Precys's urgency made Lotin realize that the Doctor might also be yearning for his gaze as the only fellow human being because of his confusion and loneliness.

Lotin would not refuse her desire.

"Of course it exists. It exists one hundred percent. It definitely exists."

Precyth's smile grew increasingly eerie, yet she saw a glimpse of herself in Lotin's kind and honest smile.

The murky, heavy shadows were in no way inferior to Precyth, they were completely evenly matched.

It was as if if she stood in his way, he would devour her whole.

"I'll pay attention."

"Well then, goodbye, Ms. Precyth."

Lotin maintained the same honest smile he had since speaking with Precys. His magic resistance and mana value determined his basic mental strength, while [Winter's Arrival] provided additional mental resilience. The control of the dream was already in Lotin's hands.

"Did I... let a wolf into the house?"

Unfortunately, the "telephone" had already been hung up by Lottin, leaving Precys only with memories of Lottin's last smile.

Was it just an illusion, or...?

She can't tell the difference, she really can't tell the difference.

What exactly should you pay attention to?

What exactly should you be careful about?

"Nautilus, you deserve to die!"

While Priscilla was furious, another chilling thought came to her mind.

No, no, is his goal merely to obtain a doctorate?

“Mr. Nautilus, you are awake.”

The familiar voice, though uttered by a sick and frail person, still retained a lively and cheerful tone.

Upon waking up, Loting immediately confirmed that the additional Summoner Spell was [Purify].

Luo Ting said, "Go ahead and climb up, I have [Purification] in my hand at all times, just waiting for you to come."

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the only light came from the LED lantern that Lotin had charged during the day.

Sitting on the other side of the small table was the doctor who had finished his work.

Lotin's teacup was custom-made by Kroos; it was an extravagantly large size, but just right for his independent use.

“Rhodes Island Doctor, you shouldn’t be staying on the deck all night.”

"Your body can't handle it."

The tea had long since gone cold, and Luo Ting had no desire to drink another sip.

"What do you find me for?"

"To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but I heard you talking in your sleep."

The doctor's curiosity outweighed her shyness and embarrassment.
