Arknights is too real, right?

Xia Feng knew that the secret surrounding Skadi was something that even Rhode Island could not figure out three years later, because it involved the deep sea that no one dared to set foot in the world of Terra.

Just like the birds in the sky never know the darkness of the cave, and the pangolin can never overlook the entire land, the land and the deep sea are two extremes that never seem to meet, but Skadi in front of him, In a sense, it is undoubtedly a bridge between two extremes.

Xia Feng wants to know, what is hidden in the deep sea?

Xia Feng looked at Skadi seriously.

"Can you tell me, what kind of creature did we encounter just now? Is that thing the legendary disaster of the deep sea?"

Looking at Skadi's indifferent face, Xia Feng hoped that the answer she gave was yes. If that kind of thing was what people call a disaster, he could still find a way to deal with it, because at least it would be visible and tangible. A living creature, not something ethereal, elusive like a ghost or a curse.

There was no change in Skadi's expression, but she didn't answer immediately, as if she was weighing something in her heart.

After a long time, her voice came.

"That kind of thing is not the disaster itself, it can only be regarded as the servant or dependent of the disaster."

Sure enough, as Xia Feng guessed, that kind of thing is just a little brother.

"Can you tell me specifically what those things are, where they come from, and why they attack us?"

"this."

"Please, this may be important to me. Don't worry, I won't do anything to interfere with you, nor will it affect the Deep Sea Clan's hunting."

Skadi's expression changed color instantly.

"Do you know the Deep Sea Clan?"

Xia Feng was also stunned. Could it be that the existence of the Deep Sea Clan is the secret of the Terra world?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. At least in the operator information of Rhodes Island three years later, the races of several operators related to the deep sea are not disclosed.

"I know something."

"What else do you know?"

Xia Feng took a deep breath. Since he wanted to know the truth from others, there were some things he shouldn't hide.

"To tell you the truth, I also know about the Deep Sea Hunters organization, but don't get me wrong, I'm not investigating you, I just found out accidentally for some reason, and I only know the name Deep Sea Hunters. Other than that, I I don’t know anything about your information.”

"Where did you know that? What's the reason you're talking about?"

"I can't answer this for you. It's not that I want to hide it. It's just that if I insist on telling you, it should be some kind of record."

"Then, why do you want to know the secret of the deep sea?"

"Maybe I just want to protect something."

For some reason, Skadi looked at Xia Feng with a very complicated expression.

She stared deeply at Xia Feng's face, as if she wanted to discern something from it, like a long past event or someone's promise.

A hollow voice came from Skadi's mouth.

"A long, long time ago, I once met a person on the sea. I no longer remember his appearance or his voice. I only remember what he seemed to say to me."

Skadi's red pupils flickered with unknown meaning.

"He told me that one day he will stand in front of me and bear what I face for me. But the strange thing is that I don't know him at all. He wants to save something and also protect it. Something, but I remember clearly seeing deep regret in his eyes."

The light of the setting sun reflects on the sea, making the scenery in front of you a little blurry.

Skadi's hollow voice continued, reaching Xia Feng's ears word by word.

"He said he would stand in front of me and bear what I faced for me, but before he said these words, he asked the same question as you at the moment, what is the disaster of the deep sea? Doesn't this sound very strange? Isn’t it a contradiction? He doesn’t even know what is in the deep sea, and he doesn’t even know what he needs to face to protect me. He just says this, isn’t this person?”

"A hopelessly stupid middle school boy."

Xia Feng's voice interrupted Skadi, but his own voice was trembling.

Xia Feng lowered his head, an indescribable complex mood intertwined in his brain.

Appeared, appeared again?

Just like Cross has never been to Chernobog, a more contradictory past event that happened without his knowledge entered his field of vision from the blind spot.

At this moment, all his thoughts were interrupted, and his focus was irresistibly drawn to this issue.

Who is this person that Skadi is talking about?

Of course, both superficially and logically, this is just a coincidence, and it can only be a coincidence. Maybe it was just a sailor at sea who had an outbreak of chuunibyou, or an old captain who was too drunk. For those who don’t know Don't be afraid, seeing a lonely orca lady like Skadi will arouse men's desire for protection.

Yes, this is a normal speculation. Skadi just recalled a past event that had nothing to do with him. It was just a person who had nothing to do with him.

During the short period of Xia Feng's thinking, Skadi's voice continued to come.

"I'm sorry I haven't answered your question yet. I just suddenly remembered this incident. Now that I think about it carefully, I can't remember when I met that person. I even doubt whether it really happened. It's very strange. It’s strange, our family’s memory is very good, even if we are relatives who have been separated since childhood, we can recognize them at a glance many years later, but now I can’t recall that person’s appearance.”

"Why?"

"kindness?"

Xia Feng lowered his head.

"Why do you suddenly think of this?"

"I don't know why I suddenly remembered it. Maybe it was because I met you. For some reason, seeing your face and hearing your voice made me unconsciously think of that person who was vague in my memory."

The sound of the summer wind came out along with the sound of the waves.

"Do you think that person is me?"

"No, that's impossible. You look so young. Although you can't remember the time, at least it happened many years ago."

"Then do you remember that person's name?"

"He seemed to have said it, but I can't remember clearly. It seemed very long in the blur, and seemed to be filled with fire."

Speaking of this, Xia Feng suddenly changed the topic.

"Miss Skadi, you want to ask where you learned the song you just hummed."

"Oh, that's a song passed down by our family from ancient times. That's just one of them, it's my favorite."

"Then do you understand the meaning of the lyrics?"

"The meaning of the lyrics? It seems to represent our family's experiences, long-cherished wishes, and some racial characteristics over the past hundreds of years."

It was obvious that Skadi did not understand the true meaning of Xia Feng's question.

I don't know if it was because of the excessive blood loss before, but he now felt very cold all over, but now his brain had no time to consider the physical feelings.

Time and space are the principles of all things that cannot be shaken or tampered with by anyone.

However, he remembered the song that Skadi hummed from ancient times just now. The first few lines of the song were not obscure, but the last line, he could not understand.

Perhaps, that is not even known to Skadi himself, but it is a special ability possessed by their family.

"Hmm~hmm~hmm~hmm~Wandering in the blue~"

"Well~ well~ well~ well~ echoing in the deep sea~"

"Hmm~hmm~hmm~hmm~wandering on an isolated island~."

"Hmm~hmm~hmm~hmm~ Traveling through time and space~"
