Chapter 273: Fishers Vige


    KP Green Light continued, "Of course, this module is a bit different from the usual ones. It has many side quests, and some offer rewards greater than the main quest. But as you yers know, these side quests are quite challenging, especially when they ovep with the main questit''s almost as tough as the main quest in the Cthulhu region."


    "Now, let''s officially enter the introductory plot of this module. All yers are currently en route to Fisher''s Vige via various means of transport. Once there, you''ll rely on your skills. However, I must remind you to be careful with your personal belongings."


    Liu Xing nodded silently. The module was as he expected. A secluded vige like Fisher''s Vige was bound to hide many secrets, possibly triggering a side quest with the slightest action.


    KP Green Light mentioned personal items, and now Liu Xing was a bit panicked. His belongings included a ceremonial dagger, a peculiar Deep One statue, and his sensitive identity as ''Watanabe Ryusei.'' He feared that using public transport might lead him straight to police questioning.


    At that moment, Liu Xing officially entered the module.


    Upon opening his eyes, he found himself on a small cruise ship. ording to ''Watanabe Ryusei''s'' memory, Fisher''s Vige was on a remote ind in the southern part of the Ind Nation. The local government, to save costs, arranged only this small ship to service the route once every seven days, arriving at Fisher''s Vige around six in the evening.


    In short, this small cruise was the only way yers could leave Fisher''s Vige unless they could swim for over ten hours to the nearest inhabited ind.


    So, although the main quest was merely to ensure Dogo Aige''s wedding goes smoothly, Liu Xing guessed the real challenge was leaving the ind on this ship.


    Liu Xing gazed at the sea, disheartened to recall from ''Watanabe Ryusei''s'' memory that he couldn''t swim, making him feel trapped on this lonely ind.


    Then, he heard a familiar voice, "Leader, what are you doing here?!"


    Turning around, he saw Ling Ishikawa.


    In ''Watanabe Ryusei''s'' memory, after Morimoto Academy was indefinitely closed, Ling Ishikawa and others went home. ''Watanabe Ryusei'' even gave his followers a break and nned to establish apany in March to employ them, a form of "whitewashing."


    So for Dogo Aige''s wedding, ''Watanabe Ryusei'' went alone, without informing Ling Ishikawa.


    Pretending to be surprised, Liu Xing said, "Ling Ishikawa, what brings you here? This ship only goes to Fisher''s Vige. Are you also attending Dogo Aige''s wedding?"


    Ling Ishikawa, equally surprised, replied, "Yes, Dogo Aige was my English teacher in middle school. He said he''s the son of a chieftain from an African tribe. I was the English ss representative, so we were close. He invited me to his wedding."


    Liu Xing was intrigued. Dogo Aige was African? He felt the module''s author had some malice towards Dogo Aige.


    After chatting with Ling Ishikawa, Liu Xing surveyed the other passengers. It was a five-yer module, and besides Liu Xing and Yin En, there should be three others.


    Surprisingly, he saw only one young man engrossed in his phone. This meant at least two yers had arrived by other means. Since the young man seemed uninterested in interacting, Liu Xing chatted idly with Ling Ishikawa until they reached Fisher''s Vige.


    The ind hosting Fisher''s Vige was quiterge, with a Hawaiian irsandy beaches and coconut trees suggesting potential as a vacation paradise.


    At the vige dock, Liu Xing immediately recognized Dogo Aige, the sole African man there.


    Dogo Aige, tall and robust, somewhat resembled a ck celebrity. In Liu Xing''s eyes, most ck people looked simr, just as Westerners might think all Asians look alike.


    Beside Dogo Aige stood his fiance.


    "Wee! I''m delighted you could attend my wedding. My family in Africa couldn''t make it due to the distance, so I''m grateful to have friends like you here," Dogo Aige said.


    After Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa offered their congrattions, Dogo Aige introduced his fiance, "This is Matsui Yui, my fiance. We met during my university studies."


    Matsui Yui smiled gently, "Pleased to meet you. I''m Dogo Aige''s fiance, currently a senior in Tokyo. You can call me Kuri."


    Liu Xing nodded but felt something familiar about Matsui Yui from ''Watanabe Ryusei''s'' memory, though he couldn''t ce where he''d seen her before.


    After pleasantries, Dogo Aige led them into Fisher''s Vige.


    Despite its name suggesting backwardness, Fisher''s Vige resembled a resort, dotted with luxurious three-story vis.


    Dogo Aige led them into one such vi. "This is a public housing unit for guests attending weddings. As I''ve mentioned before, Fisher''s Vige is peculiar, historically favoring women over men, so the vigers are quite weing to male visitors," he exined.


    Liu Xingughed, "I see, Fisher''s Vige is quite affluent to afford such vis."


    Dogo Aige nodded, curious himself. "I wonder how Fisher''s Vige became so wealthy. Yui told me it''s historically isted. It shouldn''t afford such luxury, and many vigers don''t even know they''re part of the Ind Nation. Speaking of which, she asked me to remind you of some local rules: Don''t discuss the outside world with vigers to avoid unsettling their worldview; limit modern items like phones to the vi; and respect local customs, as Fisher''s Vige has developed unique traditions over its long istion."


    Hearing this, Liu Xing confirmed his earlier suspicion: Fisher''s Vige was indeed a breeding ground for Deep One hybrids, isted to propagate their kind with asional vigers venturing out to bring back "studs" from the outside world.


    What intrigued Liu Xing was the vige''s policy of keeping its residents ignorant. Those who had never left didn''t even know about the existence of the Ind Nation, confirming that Fisher''s Vige, as KP Green Light said, was full of mysteries.


    "By the way, Teacher Dogo Aige, are Ryusei and I the only ones attending your wedding? I heard the ferry to Fisher''s Vige runs only every seven days, and there was only one other person with us... Wait, that person didn''t get off the ferry when we left," Ling Ishikawa suddenly remarked.


    Liu Xing thought hard and realized that was indeed the case. The young man engrossed in his phone hadn''t disembarked.


    Who was this person, and what were they up to? Dogo Aige pondered and then shook his head, "Maybe he was just a crew member. By the way, the ferry stays in Fisher''s Vige for half an hour before returning, so you can catch it back after dinner."


    "Before you came, three of my friends had already arrived. I picked them up in my fishing boat. They''re probably resting in their rooms. Ling Ishikawa, you and your friends can pick a room, settle in, ande down for dinner."


    Three friends? That meant the young man with the phone might indeed have been just a crew member, as Dogo Aige suggested.


    Liu Xing had more questions for Dogo Aige, but after speaking, Dogo Aige left. Liu Xing could only shake his head and follow Ling Ishikawa upstairs.


    The second floor had five rooms, three marked as vacant, indicating another yer chose to stay on the third floor as the first floor had no rooms.


    Liu Xing and Ling Ishikawa picked adjacent rooms for mutual support. The room''s decor was impressive, akin to a five-star presidential suite, but notablycked any modern amenities like air conditioning, television, orputers.


    Liu Xing checked his phone and, as expected, found no signal. Sighing, he realized Fisher''s Vige was essentially arge private room, a module designed to cut off all outside contact.


    Leaving his room, Liu Xing saw a bewildered Ling Ishikawa. "Leader, there''s definitely something off about Fisher''s Vige. I''ve seen no modern items, and there''s no mobile signal."


    Liu Xing nodded, "Exactly. Since Dogo Aige shared about Fisher''s Vige, I suspected something was amiss. Now, I''m sure of it, and it likely involves our old friends, the Deep Sea Gospel Society."


    "Ah," Ling Ishikawa feigned surprise. "Just the name Fisher''s Vige hints at a connection to the Deep Sea Gospel Society. But aren''t we walking into a trap?"


    Liu Xing replied, "Let''s wait and see. If the Deep Sea Gospel Society wanted us, we wouldn''t be here now. It''s probably just a coincidence, no need for undue worry."


    With that, they headed to the first-floor hall, where Dogo Aige had prepared avish dinner. Liu Xing noticed two familiar figuresZhang Jingxu and Lu Tianya.


    He wasn''t surprised, considering the limited pool of yers in the Ind Nation. It''s tricky to assemble a module''s yers, considering their locations, upations, and previous module experiences. You wouldn''t suddenly send a tribal illiterate from Africa to Area 51 in the United States to study future technology.


    However, seeing Lu Tianya with Zhang Jingxu was unexpected.


    As Zhang Jingxu saw Liu Xing, hisposure wavered, and Lu Tianya turned red and looked away.


    Liu Xing chuckled and addressed them, "What a small world! I didn''t expect you two to be friends with Dogo Aige as well. We must be fated to meet."


    Regaining his calm, Zhang Jingxu replied, "Indeed, it seems we''re destined to cross paths. But I believe, Ryusei, you''ve noticed something by now."


    Liu Xing nodded, understanding without words.
