Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit

   "Mr. Rhine, I feel like I've lost the most important thing in my life—"

  The fiery sunset surrounded the sky, reflecting the faint fiery red of Rimu Island Beach.

  James, who was still a teenager, was sitting on the beach, crying about the girl he remembered but couldn't remember.

   And beside him, there was a big bag full of pearls.

  The same as his current situation, and the rest of the Sun crew.

  Listening to the boy's cry, Li Feng picked up a pearl.

  The pearls in the bag are all shiny, round and of high quality. Under the setting sun, they radiate the light like precious jewelry.

  ‘The mermaid is so generous. '

   Li Feng sighed in his heart.

   But it's a pity that a large bag of high-quality pearls failed to comfort James' wounded heart.

  Looking at the weeping and grieving young man beside him, Li Feng felt that he should comfort him, but he couldn't find the words after thinking for a long time.

  Continuing to think about it, suddenly felt that Shia, who was sitting beside her, stabbed herself with an elbow.

   Li Feng looked, and saw Xi Ya raised her chin, first glanced at James and then at him, with an expression of "Look how nasty the mermaid is, thanks to me for saving you, hurry up and praise me".

  Understanding what she meant, but not wanting to spoil her, Li Feng spread out his palm and showed Xi Ya the round and lustrous pearl.

   Silent statement, people are paid, and there are quite a lot.

   Seeing this, Xi Ya snorted, turned her head and ignored him angrily.

   "Woo—"

   Crying loudly again, probably because he noticed that Li Feng was interacting with the girl next to him again, James cried even louder.

  He wiped away his tears and asked Li Feng:

   "What happened to me just now, it seemed like I had a dream, there was a girl in the dream, she was very beautiful and treated me very well.

   But when you woke me up, I found myself lying on the beach, and the girl was gone.

  I feel like a dream, but how can there be such a real, such a beautiful dream, now I just feel ashamed.

  Mr. Rhine, tell me where did that girl go? "

"Uh-"

  Looking at James who seemed really emotional, Li Feng continued to be at a loss for words.

  Just now, when he and Shea returned from the temple, they saw James and the rest of the Sun crew lying on the beach.

  Xia said that the mermaid had run out of them, and the coma continued just to erase their memory and make them think it was just a dream.

   Li Feng, who still wanted to ask James about the Black and White Academy, sat on the beach for a while.

  Finally, seeing that the sky was getting late and the tide was about to rise, he took out a sober medicine to wake them up.

   However, the crew members were not as frightened as Li Feng imagined.

   Immediately after waking up, they were all looking for the girl in their dreams and saying hello to them, which made Shia roll her eyes countless times.

   Gradually, after they realized that it was just a dream, they all fell into sadness again.

   Among them, James is even worse.

   "The fog in the forest of Rimu Island has hallucinogenic effects.

  The mist makes you unconscious and affects your dreams, it’s all fake, don’t think too much about it. "

   Li Feng comforted James with his made-up explanation, and patted him on the shoulder.

   "It's all fake? How is it possible?"

   James, who was hurt in his heart, looked at the bag of pearls that belonged to him with red eyes.

  He picked up Pearl and asked Li Feng:

   "What about this bag of pearls? How can there be pearls on the beach, and we all have them around us!

  Oh, by the way, Mr. Rhine seems to be the only one who doesn’t have one. "

  Li Feng: …

  Why is this kid not up to the mark, and he is not easy to deceive.

'what! '

  The lie was found flawed, and Li Feng was thinking about how to fix it, when Xi Ya gloated over the contract:

   "Suddenly, someone's level has regressed! It has been discovered that something is wrong!"

  Because of always being caught by Li Feng suddenly, Xi Ya was quite resentful, and finally seeing him lose today, Xiaolong was very happy.

  Li Feng: ...I would have put all the pearls in my pocket if I knew it earlier.

   "It's really not a dream, the girl you saw is a mermaid."

   Not wanting to make any more detours, Li Feng decided to let James accept the realistic beating.

  He told the truth about matters that did not involve him.

  The sun sets, the fiery clouds recede, and the morning stars shine in the blue-purple sky.

  There was silence on the beach of Sunset Island.

   After a long time, James, who finally digested the reality, calmed down, neither sad nor angry, but happy to see hope.

  He stood up and faced the sea, and said to Li Feng as if determined:

   "Since she is in the sea, I will definitely find her!"

   Li Feng held his forehead speechlessly, thinking that James is really the stupid son of the landlord's family.

  Suddenly remembered something, Li Feng turned his head and asked Xi Ya in a low voice:

   "Is your grandparent who fell in love with a mermaid the same way?"

  James' reaction left Shia speechless, she pondered for a while and replied:

   "Fortunately, this guy is the youngest son of the governor of Guanghui Island, not the heir, otherwise Guanghui Island will be finished."

  …

  At the beginning of the night, the sea breeze is leisurely, and the aroma of barbecue wafts from the Sun.

  Because it was too late to sail, James invited Li Feng and Xi Ya to their boat to have dinner together.

  One came to repay Li Feng's kindness for rescuing them from the coma.

  Secondly, he discovered that Li Feng was also an extraordinary person, which made James feel quite embarrassed by his previous arrogance.

   Moreover, because he wanted to find the mermaid he admired, and found that Li Feng knew a lot about mermaids, he wanted to ask him for more information.

   Li Feng originally didn't want to spend time here, but he also wanted to ask James for news, so he stayed.

   "The ocean-going ship of Heiheiyuan?"

  When Li Feng mentioned this matter, James was quite surprised. He didn't expect Li Feng to be so well informed.

   "I've been at sea recently, I just learned about it by accident."

   Li Feng explained a sentence.

   "Oh—the Black and White Institute is very mysterious. Although they are in Guanghui Island, they don't have much contact with my father."

  James was not suspicious, and Li Feng had helped him, so he had nothing to say:

   "However, I heard from the person in charge of the supply at the pier that they might be going to Storm Island."

   Storm Island?

  Hearing the news, Li Feng and Xi Ya exchanged glances, both of them were a little surprised.

   "Do they have property in Storm Island?"

   Li Feng asked casually calmly.

"I think should not be."

  James asked his bosun, and seeing the latter shook his head, he continued:

   "Unlike the Violet Eye, the Black and White Academy does not seem to have any secular property.

   But they have always been very generous, and I don't know how they make money.

   But..."

  James probably remembered some gossip, and said to Li Feng mysteriously:

   "However, on Glorious Island, every few years you can hear that there are hidden people who betrayed the Black and White Academy. I guess they have too strict rules and can drive people crazy."

   Traitor...

   Grabbed some information, Li Feng continued to ask curiously like a normal chat:

   "Then what will they do with traitors?"

   "They are all direct kills. I heard that the Heiheiyuan is a particularly ruthless place.

  So the hidden people who betrayed the Black and White Academy would run far away to avoid death. "

  James shrank his neck as he spoke, as if he was glad that the Stranger in the shadow ignored him.

   "The captain is right."

  At this point the bosun interposed, telling what he knew:

   "I heard from people in my hometown that there is a legendary hidden person who betrayed the Black and White Academy for more than 20 years, and he hasn't been caught yet!

   What's more legendary is that, after more than 20 years, the Black and White Court has not given up on hunting him down. "

"Oh-"

  As Li Feng who was listening to the legend, he nodded in amazement.

   But first of all, as himself who is destined to be twenty-five, his mood is a bit complicated.

  Secondly, Li Feng sorted out the clues.

  The traitor that Heiheiyuan did not give up hunting, the case where Rimu Island stole the cocoon and left clues, and the ocean-going ship that Heiheiyuan sailed to Storm Island...

   These few things, will there be any connection?

  …

   "Do you think the traitor who betrayed the Black and White Academy is the Soul Eater who hid in Wind's Rest and stole the cocoon?"

   At midnight, the moonlight on the sea is like water.

  Farewell to James, Li Feng and Xi Ya returned to their magic ship, walking on the deck, Xi Ya asked.

   "Not impossible."

   Li Feng guessed the same way.

   "But the traitor of the Black and White Academy should be a hidden person, how could he be a soul eater?"

  Xia questioned, and then she suddenly realized:

   "Unless he is an abyssal savior infused with the essence of demons, he can possess the abilities of two extraordinary appearances at the same time."

   "Well, it makes sense."

   Li Feng nodded.

  The sea is cool at midnight, and the bright moonlight illuminates the undulating sea.

  Sia took the helm and steered the ship to an uninhabited sea area, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears.

  Li Feng looked at the ups and downs of the waves outside the window, thinking about the Abyss Blessed One who was suspected to be the Hidden One and also the Soul Eater.

   "By the way, how did you get caught by that hunter?"

  Because of the Soul Eater, Li Feng remembered the Abyss Blessed Hunter who had captured Sia and planned to bind her to a contract.

   "Well, that's a long story."

  Suddenly asked about the past, Shia pondered for a while.

  Anyway, the night is long, so I just chat about the past.

  In Xi Ya's narration, Li Feng learned about her previous wandering life.

   In short, being alone, with a low rank, life hidden in human society is not easy.

  But she still wanted revenge, so she made a detour to Storm Island.

  At that time, Shia was penniless. In order to obtain information and grab leftovers, she turned into a cat, a stray cat in Wind's Breath.

  The life of a stray cat is not easy, but one day, when she was hungry and cold, the real Shia picked her back to the monastery.

  From then on, the baby dragon lived with the real Shia and her mother.

  Although the mother and daughter have been neglected and excluded all the time, and their life is very bad, for the young dragon, she finally has a shelter from the wind and rain, and a place to eat.

   But the good times didn’t last long. When it came to this, Xia Ya sighed, and the voice rang out with hatred:

   "Do you remember Jory, Penrose Fell's favorite illegitimate son?"

  Hearing this name, Li Feng thought about it and remembered this person.

  At that time Li Feng was still a priest of Zijinhua Church, and Bishop Frey was still alive.

  Memories continued to come, because the demons came to the island, and the outer city of Wind's Rest was full of polluted rats.

  At that time, Governor Fell sent his **** son, Jory, to deal with the rats in the outer city.

  What made Li Feng feel bored was that because of some trivial matters, he and this Jory had a bad relationship.

  As for later, because he failed to see through the devil's scheme, the celebration banquet was made a big fuss by the devil, and Jory was ashamed in front of countless guests.

  In order to protect his future, the governor sent Jory to Prismarine Mining Island, and asked him to make some meritorious deeds there before returning.

   This is used to wash away the stigma and block people's tongues.

  So, this is also the reason why Li Feng lived in Storm's End some time ago, but he never met that guy.

   "Yes, that's him."

   Seeing Li Feng remembering, Xi Ya continued to talk about the past:

   "At that time, one day Jory went to the monastery and saw the real Shea. He was attracted to her. In addition, the real Shea had no backer and was bullied by others, so Jory wanted to belittle her.

   But it was a monastery guarded by guards after all, Jory failed, but he did not give up.

  But they are half-brothers. This is a scandal, and it is absolutely not allowed by the Governor.

  For Jory's future, his mistress' mother ordered someone to poison the food, poisoning the real Shia and her mother to death.

  I was looking for news outside that day. When I returned to the monastery through the small gate during dinner, the first scene I saw was the corpses of their mother and daughter.

   I was a step late, but coincidentally, no one found them dead when I went back.

  So I did what I could, pretending to be Shea, sneaking into Storm's End, avenging her and myself. "

  The night wind at sea is lingering, and the captain's cabin is very cool.

  Young dragon recalled the past, feeling resentful and sad.

   Li Feng closed the window to make her warmer.

   Thank you with a smile, and Shia, who was silent for a while, continued to talk:

   “Actually, at first, I wasn’t sure who poisoned them.

  So whenever I have a chance, I still turn into a cat to scout for news.

  Probably due to lack of experience and eagerness to find the truth, when I was outside, I was accidentally discovered strange.

   is the hunter of the abyss favored one.

  At that time, he was in a higher rank than me, and I couldn't beat him, so I was caught by him.

   You will know what happens after that. "

"I see."

  After hearing the tortuous experience of the young dragon, and the tragic ending of the real mother and daughter, Li Feng felt a lot of emotion.

   After a moment of silence, feeling that both of them were a bit depressed, Li Feng changed the subject:

   "It suddenly occurred to me that if I hadn't chosen to drink the potion, I would have killed that hunter.

  His contract ceremony will be successful, and then he will find me when he frees his hand.

  He may be very pleasantly surprised, because he happens to be able to practice with me and control you to kill me.

  In the end I died and you became that guy's minion.

  So this is another story where choices determine destiny. "

   "It is true that choice determines fate, but it won't be the version you said~"

  Listening to Li Feng's deduction, Xi Ya found it very interesting, and her mood improved a lot, but she also proposed her own deduced version:

   "At that time, before you appeared, I was planning to end the contract ceremony myself.

  So the end result is, I'm dead, and the guy is dying from the backlash.

   Then, according to your usual practice, you will go to make up the knife. "

  Li Feng: "...you really understand me, but according to you..."

  Li Feng thought for a while, then asked:

   "Since you would rather die than sign a contract, why didn't you have extreme ideas afterwards?"

  After Xi Ya bound the contract with him, although Li Feng couldn't help himself, Li Feng didn't realize that Xi Ya had the idea of ​​suicide.

   "Well—probably because you look better than that guy."

  Xia laughed, and then added:

   "Actually, I liked the way you handled the situation back then, killing the Hunter when he was at his weakest, even if he was only a potential threat.

  So I am curious about who you are, where you come from, and where you are going.

   I am also curious about how you would respond if you encountered a crisis again.

  Then I saw you kill those nine pirates, seven mortals, and two occults. "

  On the quiet sea, the bright moon is falling in the west, and the east is pale.

   Chatted casually again, seeing that it was getting late, Li Feng informed Haizan.

  By teleporting, he and Shia returned to their home in the outer city of Wind's Rest.

  Hizan felt mixed feelings about the two of them returning at dawn, but seemed to think that this was normal, but sooner or later.

  Growing morning light entered Wind's Rest City, Li Feng opened the window to ventilate.

  Accompanied by the breeze, bursts of noisy sounds entered the ears.

  Early in the morning, there were many people busy in the square in the outer city, and the noise came from there.

   "What are they doing?"

   Li Feng asked Haizan.

  Hizan has been busy dealing with the matter of being calculated, and he doesn't know it yet.

  But he recruited a troll warrior who was staying in Wind's Rest, and he found out after a short inquiry.

   It turned out to be a knight of Storm's End who discovered a huge and complete piece of precious prismarine on the prismarine mine island.

  Because it was too rare, they ordered craftsmen to carve the statues of the seven gods on prismarine.

  The square is being cleaned up now, precisely because the ship transporting the statues of the Seven Gods is about to arrive, and they plan to put the only new statues in the square on the square.

   It sounds like just mundane tasks, and Li Feng didn't pay much attention to them.

   But listening, Shia heard the familiar island name:

   "Primarine mine island?"

   "Well, it seems that the governor found a reason to recall his favorite illegitimate son."

   Li Feng casually analyzed a sentence.

   "Heh! I came back just in time, and I want to avenge the real Shia."

   The young dragon said with a firm expression, looking towards the busy square.
