Setting Sail

The docks of Pluto City, which are also the third largest port in the nation, are located at Kuiper Port.

It is very different from a port in the conventional sense.

Overseas tourism only accounts for a small part of the overall tourism experience.

This port is primarily used to handle freight logistics from all over the world, as well as "World Immigrants" who have passed the application process.

Every year, many immigrants from all over the world come here to complete the relevant personnel registration, inspection and subsequent city and work arrangements in Pluto City.

When Luo Di and his group were traveling by tour bus through the port checkpoint, they could see many buses with immigration markings driving out of the port.

However, there are also limitations to going overseas.

The furthest sea voyage cannot exceed the [roof]*, which is the "outer wall" built decades ago by gathering the power of all mankind to seal off this country.

* The Roof Plan is described in the historical timeline.

It's essentially a mandatory regulation.

Anyone who applies to come to this country affected by its remoteness will be permanently banned from leaving.

The travel agency's vehicle quickly passed through the checkpoint.

A dock filled with containers from various countries and dotted with numerous tower cranes came into view.

Every day, a large amount of supplies are transported from all over the world to various cities, with the capital city receiving the most.

The special vehicle drove along the road separated by the containers and soon arrived at the west side of the dock.

There are no more containers blocking the way here.

The azure sea truly came into view for the first time for Luo Di, but instead of joy, he felt a deep unease, a unease that ran down his spine.

It seems that as Hell Apostle, he would reject such a watery region, as the heat and dryness of hell are the complete opposite of such a sea.

The cold sweat that Luo Di broke out in because he was repulsed by the sea actually became a good pre-emptive disguise, making him look as if he was afraid of the monster lurking among the islands.

"Dear passengers, we have arrived at the pier."

Passengers are requested to board the San Geres, which is docked at Pier 3. The journey takes 1 to 2 hours.

Upon your arrival at [Saiwei Resort Island], our travel agency staff will be there to greet you and guide you to your hotel on the island for check-in. We hope you enjoy your week-long island vacation.

As soon as she got off the bus, a middle-aged man who was traveling with her came over to chat her up. His target was naturally Hua Yuan.

Luo Di originally thought that Hua Yuan's personality would allow her to exchange contact information with each of them, and then use some means to invade their minds and turn them into her puppets.

Who knows,

Hua Yuan pretended to be a weak woman, wanting to refuse but unable to say it.

At that moment, Shia stepped forward and coldly commanded, "Get out!"

After glancing at the security personnel patrolling the harbor, the greasy-looking men could only turn and leave, one of them giving Shia a particularly sharp look.

"Shia."

"Hua Yuan, can't you tone down that face a little?"

"Oh dear~ I've already hidden all my abilities, but I'm just so good-looking."

I'm not ' Wu Wen,' I can't change your appearance. Anyway, with you and Mr. Di as our bodyguards, these sleazy guys will run away after a little scare."

The name Hua Yuan suddenly mentioned didn't elicit any action from the class monitor, but Luo Di was taken aback.

"Wu Wen ..." Shia also thought of this former sister, "It's a real pity. If Wu Wen were here, she could have helped us refine our disguises, and our success rate in infiltration would have been much higher."

Hua Yuan continued, "Alright, from now on, everyone should be as natural as possible and treat yourselves as ordinary people! Absolutely no ability should be revealed. We really need to learn from Wu Wen in this regard."

It's such a pity. He was so good at disguising himself, but he couldn't keep up in other aspects, which led to his demise in a simple Crevice screening.

Let's get on board and set sail! I haven't been to sea in ages, and I'm quite excited.

Hua Yuan appeared very excited, but beneath that excitement lay a rare seriousness and focus.

Luo Di could clearly sense the aura of the other party as a big sister. Her words just now had put everyone in the group into a state of pretense, and they no longer had any trace of their Pseudo-Human.

Hua Yuan, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned his head.

"From now on, pay close attention to every detail! The radiation from this scourge may have already reached beyond the island, so everyone must be careful."

Boarding

Since the sea voyage was only a little over an hour, everyone headed straight to the bow deck area to see the rare and beautiful sea views.

Luo Di felt uncomfortable all over, and stood alone at the back of the deck, trying to minimize the ocean's share of his view... He was sure it was his back that was resisting.

Just then,

A hand reached out and took mine.

"Honey, shall we go to the very front?"

The squad leader had long noticed that Luo Di seemed to be resisting the sea, but now he took the initiative to pull him to the very front of the deck.

Her purpose was clear: she wanted Luo Di to overcome this issue ahead of time. It would be too late if he waited until the monster's transformation was related to the sea before adapting.

However,

Even though Luo Di had made up his mind, his body wouldn't obey him. His spine, which was responsible for controlling his limbs, was resisting violently, making his walking posture look very stiff.

He was already covered in sweat after walking less than a few dozen meters.

"Excuse me, could you move aside? I'd like to take a picture with my boyfriend."

The class monitor's strong leadership successfully paved a path to the very front.

The entire ocean came into view.

Luo Di could clearly feel his entire spine trying to detach from his body, turning him into a skeletal reptile and hiding back in the cabin.

Before he knew it, the class monitor had circled around behind him and reached out to hug him tightly.

By pressing your body tightly against the spine, a warm and gentle energy is transmitted, nourishing and soothing your back.

Are you feeling better?

"I'm feeling better."

"That's good... If we just keep going until we reach the island, maybe we'll be able to adapt."

"Um."

Their ambiguous behavior was naturally spotted by the girls nearby.

"Hiss~ Isabella is quite knowledgeable."

Hua Yuan looked displeased, but she didn't make any forceful attempt to compete. Instead, she turned her head to look at the ocean on the other side.

"Hua Yuan, you seem to have changed a bit." Shia commented from the side, using a method of internal telepathy that only the two of them could hear.

"You're rambling on a bit, Shia. I'm just focused on what's in front of me. This wanted Wanted Poster no small matter; we could all end up dying here, so there's no need to worry about these trivial things."

Shia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the azure sea with Hua Yuan. "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved."

If you can become completely focused and serious, and not be controlled by desires fueled by distractions, you should be the strongest being of your level that I have ever seen.

"Oh my, you can even compliment people! I'll have to thank my Grandmother properly when I get back. If it weren't for this Wanted Poster us to work together, I wouldn't have known that you, Shia, are so adorable."

"I might as well not bother looking for a partner. My body can be molded however I want; I can just give you or me an organ later, it'll all be the same."

Shia stopped replying and started discussing with her Sister Eye.

Time flies when you're on a boat.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The outline of a medium-sized island gradually came into view on the shore.

By this time, Luo Di had basically adapted to the sea. Although his spine still felt somewhat unwilling, he no longer experienced the initial stiffness throughout his body.

As the passenger ship gradually approached the island...

Perhaps they adapted to the ocean.

Perhaps it was the warmth coming from his back,

Perhaps it was this rare moment of leisure...

As Luo Di gradually lost focus during this process, until...

Despair!

A crisp snap of the tongue echoed from his mouth, pulling him back to reality.

The squad leader also heard the clicking sound and knew exactly what it meant. She looked behind her but didn't see any suspicious passengers or any dangerous objects approaching.

Despite making a clicking sound, Luo Di didn't turn around; he continued to look at the sea before him.

He seemed to vaguely see a larger outline in the ocean, the outline of a creature that appeared to be even larger than the ship.

Because the outline was too blurry, it was impossible to determine what kind of marine creature it was.

"A whale or something else?"

When Luo Di tried to see it clearly, he found that the outline had completely disappeared with the movement of the waves. He couldn't even be sure if it was the outline of the seabed or a huge shadow cast from somewhere.
