Seeing that the room had fallen into silence again, Shen Xixi suddenly changed the topic. "But what you said makes sense. It's too dangerous to continue the chase, and it doesn't make much sense."
"So, are you willing to stop?" Rabbit asked happily.
"No, I plan to join the Deep Sea Hunter and go out to sea with them," Shen Xixi said.
The Deep Sea Hunter was not a profession, but a newly established player organization. Unlike those guilds and chambers of commerce, the Deep Sea Hunter was just a temporary organization, and it did not pursue long-term existence. In fact, the players who joined the Deep Sea Hunter wished it could disband tomorrow.
It was founded by a mysterious human organization, the Guardians, that had recently emerged. Not only were there players, but there were also some professionally trained ordinary people. No matter who they were, everyone joined the Deep Sea Hunter for the same purpose: to stop the thing in the city under the ice from destroying the world at all costs.
This at all costs also included the lives of its members. In a sense, it was an organization with the nature of a suicide squad, representing the indomitable spirit of human beings and the courage to fight to the end. At the same time, it also carried the last hope of mankind.
Shen Xixi had actually considered joining the Deep Sea Hunter before, but at that time, she did not think that she had enough courage to face the Lord of R 'yleh, let alone take action. Because the Lord was using Zhang Heng's body.
That was why she chose to track down and attack the mushrooming societies. It was not until Li Bai and Rabbit exposed her that Shen Xixi realized that she had been running away. She used this seemingly busy and proactive action to numb herself.
But tonight, Shen Xixi did not want to run away anymore.
She said to Rabbit and Li Bai, "You guys go. I can't take you with me when I join the Deep Sea Hunter."
Rabbit looked like she was about to cry when she heard that. "Is it because we don't listen to you, Sister Xixi?"
"No, it's because we don't have much time left. Whether it's the Deep Sea Hunters or the Gods, they've already tried their best, but they still couldn't do much to that guy. This is likely to be the last battle. Even if we gather all our strength, I don't think our chances of winning are high.
"Since the odds are not good, why do you still want to join the Deep Sea Hunter?"
"Because some things have to be done," Shen Xixi touched Rabbit's head. Shen Xixi patted Rabbit's head. "This is why I didn't allow you to come along. Use the remaining time to go home and spend more time with your parents and loved ones. Cherish every second with them. Don't wait until you lose them to regret it."
Shen Xixi then turned to Li Bai and said, "I have a task for you. Can you help me send her home safely?"
"I'm not a child," Rabbit grumbled. "I've been at the frontline all this time, okay?"
"I know." Shen Xixi nodded. "I just want you to stay here for a little longer."
Rabbit blushed when she heard that, but she immediately became worried. "Are you sure, Sister Xixi? Are you … going to fight Big Brother Zhang?"
"That's right. I also want to believe in him like Meinan and her father, but I've been waiting for more than a month. In this month, I've only seen innocent people die one after another. I've seen the worship of that guy spread like a virus in human society. Although I don't want to admit it, I already have the answer in my heart.
"He is gone. He has completely disappeared. There is no trace of him left in that body. It's time to face this reality and move forward." Shen Xixi's eyes were firm.
…
Shen Xixi, who had made up her mind, moved quickly. After sending Rabbit and Li Bai away, she submitted an application to the Deep Sea Hunter.
Without waiting for a reply, she flew to the Deep Sea Hunter's base in Sanya the next morning.
The grayish-white seven-story building in front of her originally belonged to a travel agency. Later, when P2P became popular, the travel agency owner was jealous of the high profits and pulled a few partners to start a small loan business. In the end, unfortunately, the travel agency that was doing well could no longer pay its employees and had to declare bankruptcy.
This office building was later bought by the guardians. It was originally a secret base of the guardians. Now, it was used by the Deep Sea Hunter, but the address was no longer kept secret.
Shen Xixi glanced at the anchor logo on the glass door, then stepped in and went straight to the front desk.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The receptionist at the front desk smiled.
"I'm here to join the Deep Sea Hunter. I sent an application yesterday." Shen Xixi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Okay, can you tell me your name or code name? I will check it for you."
"Shen Xixi."
The receptionist had already picked up the phone, but when she heard the name, her hand paused.
Shen Xixi waited for about five seconds, "What's the problem? Didn't you want to help me ask about the progress?"
"Oh, oh." The receptionist came back to her senses and quickly reported Shen Xixi's name and purpose. The other side's reply was quick. It didn't take long for the receptionist to hang up the phone again and squeezed out a somewhat reluctant smile to Shen Xixi, "Sorry, your application has not been approved."
"Why?" Shen Xixi frowned and asked.
"This …" The receptionist didn't know how to answer.
"I don't want to make things difficult for you. Who is in charge here?" Shen Xixi continued to ask.
"It's usually Franky, but he hasn't come today." As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, a man wearing beach pants and a floral shirt with a surfboard under his arm walked in excitedly from outside. "The weather is good today. I plan to go surfing in the afternoon! Cindy, do you want to join me? Eh … "
The man in the floral shirt also noticed Shen Xixi at this time. It was mainly because Shen Xixi's appearance was too outstanding. He didn't notice the receptionist's eye signal and said, "Beauty, are you here to join the Deep Sea Hunter? Why do you look a little familiar?"
"Yes, I'm here to join the Deep Sea Hunter, but I don't know why I was rejected. I'm going to look for Franky, the person in charge here."
"What a coincidence. I am Franky." The man in the floral shirt rubbed his nose, and his eyes lit up. "Who rejected you? Let me help you."
After he finished speaking, he finally noticed the awkward expression on the receptionist's face.
"What? Are you going to tell me that I rejected her application? I recently rejected an application. Wait, I know who you are. Shen Xixi, you are Shen Xixi, Zhang Heng's classmate and friend. I think we are more than friends. "
