Chapter 224: The Hero Had the Villain’s Child
Rin can swim, but he’s just average at it.
As the ruins sank, they created a huge whirlpool in the sea.
Rin struggled against the pull of the whirlpool, but as a beginner level swimmer, he was no match for nature.
Instead of swimming out of the whirlpool, he was dragged closer to the center.
Emilia followed him into the water and had a tough time reaching Rin.
Dizzy from the waves, Rin saw Waste Hero right in front of him, panicked, tried to speak, but got a mouthful of seawater and had to stay silent.
Sha Ye was standing on the boat feeling very anxious and eager. She wished she could spread her wings and fly down to bring the person up.
But now, many people were looking over to this side sticking to the windows. If she transformed, it would be a problem, since she didn’t know any magic.
The anxious bat looked left and right, until it saw the rope hanging on the side of the boat. It quickly went over to untie it.
By this time, a few bold sailors had climbed up to the deck to check the situation.
The strange buildings and terrifying creatures that were impossible to look at were all gone. There was only a whirlpool on the sea, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s known that there are underwater currents in the sea, so whirlpools are often encountered.
Naturally, they had to steer clear of massive giant whirlpools, but with the cruise ship’s power, they could easily sail away from this level.
However, they saw the young nobleman falling down, and everyone started to panic.
They quickly gestured towards the lookout point, signaling to save him.
Sha Ye threw the rope with a hook in her hand, using her remaining strength. Her strength was comparable to that of a warrior ranked around levels twenty to thirty.
Unfortunately, the rope fell just short of reaching Emilia and Rin, only a few meters away, and started sinking.
Emilia was a strong swimmer, but she didn’t have the abilities for underwater battles like a hero. Even if she could barely escape the whirlpool herself, she couldn’t bring Rin with her.
Seeing Rin being pulled into the whirlpool below the surface, she dove into the water and managed to grab hold of him.
The underwater whirlpool continued downward, and it was unclear where the tunnel at the eye of the whirlpool led to.
Emilia looked around and could see clearly even in the dark sea water.
The ruins continued sinking, now only visible as a black dot. The dark mist could no longer be sensed in the water.
There were several toothy cracks moving under the sea.
These cracks resembled tunnels for traveling through space, only they were alive.
This Observation Eye also provided the answer.
Meanwhile, Rin was asking the system in his mind.
“System, system, emergency! Don’t damn sleep!”
“Huh? What’s going on, so much water!”
“I remember you said last time that if someone kills me before my death scene, the protection will activate and teleport instantly, right?”
“There is such a mechanism, not only for human attacks, this level also counts.”
“Can I bring one?”
“No such privilege, pal.”
Rin bit his teeth, thinking whether to lower his noble head, let the trash AI send the Waste Hero away, and suddenly his arm was pulled.
When he came to his senses, he saw Waste Hero pulling him and, using the force of the whirlpool, swimming directly into the dark depths.
Under the sea, the two couldn’t communicate, but Rin knew she must have a plan.
Waste Hero, this guy, usually doesn’t think like a normal person and is not good at studying, but at least he is a hero with a sense of crisis.
At this moment, he must believe in her.
Rin didn’t need her to drag him and, adjusting his body, followed behind her.
Fortunately, there was a reward from the system once, increasing lung capacity, along with various swimming practice…
Now he can be said to be different from ordinary people, although falling into the water was a bit rushed, but his lungs didn’t dry up quickly.
Rin estimated that he could hold on for another five or six minutes.
By this point, the water was already dark and deep.
With Emilia’s help, Rin carried the sword on his waist, the crystal on the hilt shining dimly, allowing him to barely see the Waste Hero.
Even so, the visibility was only about thirty centimeters around her.
In addition, he was still caught in the vortex’s gravity, being pulled and spun around, feeling a bit dizzy.
Suddenly, Rin felt like he bumped into something, like a row of fences with sharp spikes protruding outward.
Luckily, Emilia pulled him aside in time, otherwise he might have been pierced through by a few holes.
With the faint light, Rin could only make out some pale, chaotic spikes, with a pulsating blood-red center… like a mouth-like thing.
Is it some strange sea anemone?
Or an unknown type of fish?
Just as he had this thought, his body was suddenly entangled by something, then wrapped in something soft and horrible to touch.
Could it be that they were eaten?
He and Waste Hero were tightly bound together.
And then…
…
The calm shore, only the sound of waves splashing onto the shore and receding back.
A slightly curious huge crack appeared silently on the shore.
Right after, it opened its mouth, spit out the two people, smacked its lips, and disappeared again.
Rin’s two eyes had turned into mosquito coils, lying on the shore, completely dizzy.
Emilia, on the other hand, was in much better condition than him, her resistance to dizziness was much stronger than Rin’s.
Waste Hero sat up and looked around with dull eyes.
After making sure there was no danger, she nudged Rin who was still lying on the ground.
“Rin, wake up.”
“@_@”
“Rin, Rin, meow~ meow~”
She gently tapped his cheeks and called out softly several times, until Rin gradually recovered from his dazed state.
He pressed his hand against his forehead and slowly sat up.
“What just happened…”
“Teleportation.”
“What?”
“That thing, it teleports through space.”
“That creepy stuff…”
Thinking about that terrifying feeling of being eaten by something, Rin’s body trembled, silently adding that strange thing to his list of fears.
With their strength not yet fully recovered, Rin and Waste Hero leaned on each other and surveyed their surroundings.
“Are we still by the sea… Waste Hero, do you know where we’ve been teleported to?”
“I don’t know, it’s random.”
“…”
Rin felt a sudden jolt in his heart, reaching out to tap Waste Hero’s forehead.
“Fool, do you think this is a multiple-choice question where guessing will do? What if we get teleported to the other side of the continent, or even to the Magic Shell Continent?”
After scratching his head in wonder, Rin paused, then gently touched his head, awkwardly saying, “But… um, still thank you. In that situation, you risked yourself… cough cough, I didn’t raise you for nothing, you lazy cat!”
Feeling very touched indeed.
Back then it was so dangerous, this guy didn’t hesitate and just charged down…
However, upon careful thought, now oneself and Waste Hero had indeed shared a bed and kissed, so they trusted each other very much.
Believing that if the roles were reversed, oneself would react the same way.
Pah, no, it’s not the same at all!
I’m not that foolish, there must be a more secure way.
With this thought, he smirked, “I was just too rash, could have ended up in big trouble. Remember not to act recklessly in the future.”
Waste Hero covered their head and their eyes looked dull. After a while, they spoke softly.
“Yes, it’s the lowest level. The teleportation range is small and won’t reach other continents.”
This kind of crack is actually a living being, so it can provide information through the Observation Eye.
“I see… It’s really strange… No, I don’t want to go in there a second time. I must investigate what this thing really is when I get back.”
Rin whispered to himself, feeling relieved, and cast a glance at Waste Hero.
This Waste Hero… she’s surprisingly helpful at critical moments.
Even though there might be some protagonist’s halo, why coincidentally did that kind of spatial teleportation thing appear in the sea?
I have to say… that thing is so disgusting.
Of course, he didn’t know how much stuff his sister has, or else he might show a bit of disdain towards Lin Wuyue again.
At that moment, Emilia turned her head and caught him looking at her sneakily.
Rin quickly turned away, holding onto his collar, looking disgusted.
“I’m all wet, I need to change clothes first, Waste Hero, please watch out for me.”
…
Using evaporate magic, drying his body, changing into clean clothes, Rin felt much better.
The two of them were searching near the coast, until they found a path clearly left by people, and then they left the coast, moving forward along the path.
After walking for only a short while, a fishing village appeared in front of Rin.
The village didn’t look big at all, it was quiet because it was late at night, only occasionally punctuated by the barking of dogs.
Waste Hero stared for a while, saying, “We are in Oulu Duchy.”
Rin followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at the decorations on the local villagers’ houses, he also realized what she meant.
Every place, even every country, has its own customs. Emilia had lived in Oulu Duchy before, so she was very familiar with the architectural style and decorations here.
Since they had arrived at Oulu Duchy early, it was easy to handle.
They just needed to find out their current location, and then rush to Xingzhi Islands as quickly as possible.
Rin currently had no good way to contact Sha Ye.
The Lord Demon King had his own matters to attend to, he couldn’t really treat me as a messenger, could he?
Sha Ye knew their destination, so they would meet there.
However, it was late at night, and Rin didn’t want to disturb others’ rest.
So, he found a dry spot nearby, set up the tent again, and prepared to rest for another two or three hours.
After dreaming for half the night and going through a series of events, Rin is now feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
Emilia wasn’t feeling great either. She loved to sleep and as soon as she got into the tent, she snuggled up to Rin and quickly fell asleep in a comfortable position.
Everything quieted down, only the sound of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard.
Rin closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly widened them, staring at the ceiling.
Despite feeling tired, he just couldn’t fall asleep.
There were too many questions in his mind.
Once he tried to rest, these questions kept popping into his head, one after another.
In this situation, that nightmare must be real.
It also meant that the mean neet sister’s words were true too.
What did she say earlier?
Come to this world?
Oh no! Does this mean the bad days are over for meowself?
Never mind if she can’t do anything good, he’s not even willing to take himself back now!
Thinking of this, Rin pulled his arm out of Waste Hero’s claws and scratched his head.
Sorry, Sister Useless, it’s not that Little Brother doesn’t want to see you, it’s just that he can’t see you, so you better stay wherever you are comfortable.
Meeting in dreams is actually quite nice.
Speaking of meeting in dreams, I once saw Lin Wuyue at a party, could it be…?
Ahem, how is that possible, Freya said it was just daydreaming, that’s not right! These two obviously know each other, they must have an issue!
Oh no, if it’s really Lin Wuyue, then this careless mistake… oh dear, will we get in trouble!
What’s up with that fake Lin Wuyue, acting strangely in both words and deeds.
And those cult members on the ship, I wonder if any were missed.
The system is so quiet today… we’ve faced several crises in a row, yet no rewards given.
Could it be that the system has malfunctioned?
Rin, with malicious thoughts, harbored a belly full of doubts until morning.
By now, the fishing village already had a hint of fireworks, men leaving in small groups while women sat together mending fishing nets.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman sitting near the village entrance spotted Rin and Emilia and immediately raised her voice.
“Those two children, what are you doing in our village, where did you come from?”
Rin originally wanted to act like a tough guy, but then he thought that in this unfamiliar place, regardless of who you are, being rude might get you kicked out.
So, he had to act like a good student, and even greeted the lady politely.
His behavior made Emilia look at him with suspicion.
“Um, excuse me ma’am. Our ship got caught in a storm and we drifted here. We were just wondering, where are we?”
The other women stopped what they were doing and curiously examined the two newcomers.
A loud woman chuckled, “Little one, you can’t fool us. Judging by your clothes, you must be rich. You look so well-off, my child.”
“Exactly, how can you look so clean after going through a storm,” another woman chimed in, “and you both are so good-looking. I’ve never seen the children of wealthy families looking this beautiful and fair-skinned.”
“They must be rich, my child.”
“Ah, I see!”
A woman slapped her thigh, her dark face shaking, revealing a big white smile, “Did you elope? Last time, there was a young couple who eloped, and somehow ended up here.”
“Huh?” Rin was completely confused.
“Yes.”
Meow nodded decisively.
Then, she confidently patted her belly in front of Rin, who looked like he had seen a ghost.
“And also, a child.”
