Bottom of the Deep Sea

Mist.

Beep, beep, beep—!

Amid the ruins of a shattered city, three people walked side by side along a desolate road when an electronic sound suddenly rang out from Knight's chest.

Knight froze, then swiftly pulled out the Pixelated Detection Device. On its screen, a red dot had appeared out of nowhere at a certain location, flashing rapidly.

"What is it?" Wu Xiangnan asked.

"'Paratrooper' has reached the vicinity of the breach and has already set up a signal transmitter there." Knight adjusted the device as he spoke. "Next, as long as we find this signal source, we can enter the Human Circle through the breach and meet up with him."

Jialan's eyes immediately lit up. "We can get in?"

"Mm." Knight nodded and studied the map carefully for a moment. "This place is in Hokkaido, but it doesn't seem to be on land... The breach is in the sea?"

"How far is it from shore?"

"About three kilometers, but it's rather deep."

"Three kilometers..." Wu Xiangnan pondered. "We can sail there directly. There seems to be diving equipment on the ship, but only two sets."

"I don't need that sort of thing," Jialan said.

"Neither do I." Knight shrugged. "Our knight order grows stronger through physical training. This little distance and depth are no problem for me at all."

"..."

Wu Xiangnan gave the two of them a strange look. "Fine, you two are impressive. I'll wear it, then."

With a clear destination this time, the three moved much faster. They swiftly returned the way they had come to the shore where their ship was docked, then sailed toward the area marked on the map.

The ship cut through the rolling waves and gradually approached the spot where the red dot flashed. Knight stood at the bow, looking ahead.
