V3: Chapter 76: Preparing to Enter the Seabed
"What if the dream really deceived you?"
Liang Di hesitated before asking the question.
To be honest, asking such a question now, about to dive into the sea, would only cause panic. However, Liang Di had to ask. If she suddenly realized this after entering the water, it would be even more terrifying, and something might go wrong.
Sure enough, after asking the question, everyone fell silent.
"Uh, Liang Di..."
Octaville tried to reassure everyone.
"So many guidances before were correct, only this one mistake... it just means, maybe... maybe... that person just made a mistake. It's normal, everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
Liang Di continued to pour cold water on the idea.
"If that person really exists, if they really know everything, how could they make a mistake? It just means... there's a very small chance they're lying."
Lying...?
If that person is really lying, then what is their purpose?
No one dared to delve deeper into this question.
Just then, Laura spoke.
“I believe in that person!”
She clenched her fist.
“He has helped us time and time again, and protected me so many times. Without Him, I would have died at the hands of those tentacles long ago. So, I will not doubt Him; He is my benefactor.”
Laura was truly a very emotional young woman, lacking much rationality and not particularly intelligent.
However, these words plunged everyone present into silence once more.
“I think Laura is right.”
Octaville sighed and placed her hand on Liang Di's shoulder to comfort her.
“Liang Di, don’t worry too much. We won’t go down to the deepest part of the sea right away today. We’ll dive in a bit first to observe the surrounding environment, find the best entrance, and then go all the way in. This process might take a long time, so you don’t need to worry about us now.”
Octaville knew that all of Liang Di’s current aggression stemmed from her concern for Liang Lin. Of course, she believed that Liang Di was also a little worried about her.
Thinking this, she felt a little touched.
“I…”
Liang Di, touched on her feelings, silently lowered her head and clutched the hem of Liang Lin’s clothes beside her.
Liang Lin also patted Liang Di’s head reassuringly.
“Yes, Octaville is right. We won’t go into the sea immediately, but today we’re just observing the terrain.”
After saying this, Liang Lin looked at the boundless sea.
"Besides, I feel incredibly strong now. It's impossible for me to die the moment I step into the sea. Don't worry, Liang Di, wait for me here. I'll be back today."
Upon hearing this, Liang Di suddenly covered the other's mouth, her eyes slightly red.
"No! Sister Liang Lin! You can't say things like that! In all the novels I've read, the male or female protagonist, after saying something like that, always makes a promise, and after making that promise, they will, they will..."
Liang Lin was amused by this, her hearty laughter echoing across the sea.
"Hahahaha~"
"Liang Di, novels are novels, reality is reality. How could someone casually make a promise and then die completely, or encounter some misfortune? Don't worry, that won't happen."
She remained so certain.
Liang Di became anxious.
"No! Sister Liang Lin, you can't say that, you really can't say that!"
Seeing that the other was truly anxious, Liang Lin silently shut her mouth and grasped the small hand that Liang Di had placed on her lips.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Alright, Liang Di, you'd better stay on the shore with these magicians and wait for Octaville and me to come back."
After saying this, Liang Lin walked towards the beach.
"Sister Liang Lin! You…!"
Liang Di wanted to chase after her.
Just then, Liang Lin turned around and gave Liang Di a deep look.
"Liangdi, I hope that when I come back, the first person I see when I come out of the sea is you." She smiled gently. "So, you must wait here obediently and take me home, okay?"
Liang Lin had completely mastered Liang Di's control now; she knew what to say to make Liang Di listen and make her happy.
Sure enough, after saying this, Liang Di's steps faltered, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Sister Liang Lin…"
Liang Di wanted to say something more; her lips moved slightly.
But Liang Lin interrupted her again. "Is it okay? Liang—... my darling."
Liang Lin forced herself to say the last two words. She had always found those two words too cheesy to say. Today, to stop Liang Di from being unreasonable and pestering her, she was going all out, using such a cheesy word in front of so many people.
After saying this, her face flushed, and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
Ah, I really can't stand such a cheesy word coming from my own mouth.
This time, Liang Di was completely convinced and completely obedient. She stood obediently on the beach, beside the other magicians.
"Okay, Sister Liang Lin, I'll wait for you here. If you don't come out, I'll wait here until you do."
"Okay, see you later."
After saying this, Liang Lin was already standing beside Octaville.
Octaville had already calmed Hilary down.
Hilary wasn't as difficult as Liang Di; she possessed a much stronger sense of justice. While her possessiveness was also extremely strong, she was different from Liang Di—far more reasonable.
"See you later, baby."
Hilary gently kissed Octaville's cheek, then silently withdrew.
After explaining everything, Liang Lin, Octaville, and Laura were already standing on the beach, the water reaching their ankles.
"Liang Lin, Laura, don't be too nervous. I'll use magic to let you both breathe freely underwater, so you don't need to hold your breath, just breathe normally."
Octaville and Liang Lin stood on either side, with Laura sandwiched between them.
This positioning eased Laura's anxiety slightly.
