Things in the Ocean!

"The moment he appeared, the ocean was infused with a kind of vitality, and an invisible energy was released."

"Those things buried deep in the sea, they exist now, they have become real."

"Including the things the sailors brought back from across the ocean—those ancient, those lost, those strange, those incomprehensible—they were awakened."

These few words, however, made Chen Ye feel a subtle unease.

They became real. What does "they" refer to?

Is it an object or a living thing?

Chen Ye has been thinking about this matter recently, and he has already sent the Deep One of 002 to search for it.

On the other side, the Serpent Eyes flashed in the darkness.

It cautiously glanced at Chen Ye, whose eyes were tightly closed, then opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue.

On the snake's tongue was a bead, which was as white as a pearl and without any impurities.

A halo of light emanated from the bead and began to spread outwards. Suddenly, Chen Ye opened his eyes.

Sensing that Chen Ye had awakened, the giant snake immediately closed its mouth and swallowed the bead back into its throat.

Chen Ye turned to look at the giant snake, whose forehead was beginning to drip cold sweat.

Just then, Chen Ye suddenly stood up, approached the giant snake, and raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a terrifying smile.

Orochi: (oΔo).

It's over!

It's all over!

He discovered it!

My life is over!

The giant snake closed its eyes in despair, but Chen Ye suddenly reached out and patted its head. "I'm going outside for a walk. I'll leave you here alone. Is that alright?"

The giant snake paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ye smiled faintly, waved his hand to tear open a crack, and at the same time shed his Grim Reaper appearance, transforming into a human form and walking out.

Watching Chen Ye's departing figure, the giant snake suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, it opened its mouth again and spat out the bead...

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Chen Ye's head suddenly peeked back out from the crack!

The giant snake was so frightened that it immediately shut its mouth and swallowed the bead back.

Be good.

Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, the giant snake nodded repeatedly while sweating profusely.

Chen Ye left, and this time he didn't return for a long time.

The giant snake also learned from this trick; it waited a long time before opening its mouth.

It first tentatively spat out the bead, then quickly swallowed it back.

After confirming that Chen Ye had not appeared, it nervously spat out the bead again, and the halo began to spread outward once more.

At this moment, all kinds of information penetrated the Rift Space and reached the world where people exist.

Night falls.

Inside a basement.

A large group of people in black robes gathered together; their robes were decorated with a snake pattern.

The pattern resembles a tree, with the snake's head extending downwards to form the trunk, and countless hands on the snake's body representing the leaves.

"The Creator teaches us to have faith in God, the Creator teaches us to stay away from good and evil, the Creator tells us the consequences of good and evil, that eating them will surely lead to death!"

"We believed this without a doubt, until one day, the great serpent came before us and told us the truth!"

"Paradise was created by the serpent, and the Tree of Good and Evil was planted by the serpent. The Creator came from an unknown world and sealed the great serpent here to guard it for eternity!"

A man in black robes stood in front of a group of men in black robes, revealing his arm, which bore a tattoo.

It is still that tree with the serpent's hand.

He put his arms in front of his chest and shouted to the people below!

"We are the caretakers of Paradise, and we are also its prisoners. We are the ignorant and uneducated, but the fruits of good and evil can open wisdom!"

"The great serpent made us eat the fruit of good and evil, which gave us wisdom and allowed us to escape the prison of the creator!"

"The Creator rebuked us as twisted and abnormal, the Creator cursed us to a terrible death, and the Creator sent his servants to take us back to the sealed land!"

"But we will not sit idly by and wait to die. We will spread our ideas, recruit our companions everywhere, and give them our knowledge!"

"If the Creator wants to erase wisdom, then we will spread it!"

"If the Creator wants to rule over the obedient people, then we will rebel!"

"If the Creator wants to imprison us, then we will run away!"

"We will be a prairie fire, invincible!"

"The world will change from this point on, it will be transformed and integrated, and we will be free to rebuild a true paradise!"

"Everyone will awaken wisdom, everyone will become extraordinary, and this wave will be unstoppable!"

"It is fate!"

"Paradise is the land of serpents, and we are the Hand of the Serpent. We will raise high the name of serpents, even if it brings about the end of the world!"

"We are creations of the Creator, we are servants of the great serpent, and the Hand of the Serpent will surely reshape the world!"

"I hereby swear!"

"I hereby swear!!" xN

The group of black-robed cultists raised their right hands in unison; all of them had the Hand of the Serpent tattoo on their arms.

They received a dream from the giant serpent and believed they had received a revelation of the truth. They decided to rescue the serpent, who was trapped in Paradise.

As for where the paradise is, they don't know, but they are certain that they will find it someday.

Nine-Tailed Fox Headquarters.

Qin Leng was reviewing documents in his office when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Upon hearing this, Nairasojin entered the office. "Chief, of the three unusual events, which would you like to hear about first?"

Qin Leng raised his head, "Let's start with the less important things."

Nairasojin nodded, then took out a document. "Recently, a secret the Society called 'Hand of the Serpent' has appeared somewhere abroad, and its size is growing at an incredible rate."

"This is not a simple proselytizing. Everyone in the cult says they have received revelation from the giant serpent. I think this must be related to some kind of Containment Object."

Qin Leng nodded, "Next."

Nairasojin continued, "There's another organization, the Church of Light. They were originally a money-making organization that took advantage of the Blood Clan' presence to sell holy water and profit from the national crisis, but..."

Qin Leng looked up. "But they took the angel, didn't they?"

"Yes," Nairasojin nodded. "However, the angels are still trapped in the Eternal Dream of the nightmare and have not yet awakened."

Qin Leng thought for a moment, "We should find an opportunity to bring the angel back."

"But the process will definitely not be smooth. Once the GOC is reorganized, it will definitely reclaim the angels as soon as possible," Nairasojin said.

"Given the public outcry caused by our forceful intervention in the 008 incident last time, no one will allow us to successfully contain the angels."

"There's one more thing?" Qin Leng asked.

Nairasojin took out a photo and placed it in front of Qin Leng. "Recently, many Containment Object have suddenly appeared both domestically and internationally."

"They are almost all related to the ocean, or rather, they were all dug out of the sea by people."

"Please look at this photo. This is Golden Key a fishing boat retrieved from the sea. It can change its shape at will and open any lock in the world with a lock cylinder."

Qin Leng narrowed his eyes; these Containment Object were definitely not split off from the original 009.

Therefore, it could only have been caused by 'that' thing in the sea.
