In fact, it is not correct to say that Lothar was completely unconscious in the water. Although he has lost the ability of subjective thinking, his body is still responding to the surrounding environment. Therefore, when crossing the vortex, Lothar is conscious, but this conscious individual can not be called Lothar. He is more like a beast named human. For a long time, people, including Shan, are not only limited to human beings, but also thinking about what kind of creatures can be called intelligent race, and what kind of creatures can only be regarded as beasts. There are different versions of this standard in different races, even in the same race. Take sea monsters and humans for example. It is always said that the difference between humans and beasts is that humans can use fire. Indeed, fire can be said to be the starting point of all land-based intelligent biological civilization. But sirens don''t live on land, and they never use fire. And those who understand the sirens will not classify them as beasts.
What about language and writing? Can intelligent creatures be different from animals with language and words? I''m afraid it''s not so simple. The emergence of wisdom and the decline of wildness do not occur because of the appearance of some kind of symbol of civilization. Behind these things, there is something deeper. That''s what''s called reason. A scholar once explained rationality in this way. Rationality is the ability to make people see the world in a non sensory way. For example, there are many people and a table in a room. These people stand at different angles, so they will not see the same table. However, when anyone talks about this table, the rest of the people will understand what the table is. This is reason, or at least a manifestation of reason. It is because of this ability that all people can communicate with each other. After all, what the left and right eyes see is different.
The man who has lost his reason doesn''t mean that he stops thinking, but he can no longer understand everything except what he can feel. Is this a total bad thing? For most people, yes, most intelligent creatures rely on group life. They need reason to communicate with other people. Even if they live in isolation, they also need reason to help them set a life goal other than survival. But when it is absolutely impossible for reason to work, losing it is a good thing.
The gravity in the current is gradually disappearing. Jacqueline was the first to reach the safe waters. She tried to pull on the rope and was slightly relieved when she noticed the weight on it. If all those people on the ground were caught in the whirlpool, the operation would not have to continue. However, it is not a time for her to be happy. She is not sure that several people can successfully cross the rapids. It is not that Jacques is indifferent to other people''s lives, but even if she is trying her best to protect herself and find a way out in this area of water, she has no spare power to help others. Now it''s just waiting. The female hunter doesn''t even dare to ask the shell people to send out the message of inquiry. She is afraid that it will distract the people on the ground.
The flow of the sea outlined a human figure in the siren''s perception, and the first person stood up behind her. There was no need for words, and the uncomfortable breath that even jekyard, who did not know what the grave was, was the man''s identity, Hera. She is one of the two more important witches, which is good. The female hunter slightly pulls the rope to help the already tired daughter of the grave to come to her side. It is true that she does not need to consume a lot of physical strength to maintain her breathing state when she works underwater, but it also means that people can''t really relax and rest because of the sea water everywhere. Jacqueline stretched out her left arm for HeLa to hold, reducing her physical exertion.
The second person to cross the whirlpool by her own strength is Qili, whose eyes still have magical effects even under water. The invisible current was real to the witch''s eyes, and this ability effectively helped her through the most dangerous parts. Even the main reason why Ellie was the second to finish the crossing was that she lingered around the whirlpool for a moment, observing the natural wonder out of curiosity. Of course, even the witch who can see the direction of the sea water doesn''t dare to stop there. The girl who just controlled herself didn''t want to die here.
The two most important witches are all safe, which makes the Huntress feel relieved. She let the shell man send a signal to Qili and call her to her side, only to find that the state of the latter is not as she imagined. Ellie swims quickly near jekyqua and shoves something into the female hunter''s hand, a seaweed rope that is the only way for the rest of the team to discern direction in the chaotic swirling waters. But the rope the witch gave to the sea demon was broken.
Jacqueline''s just relaxed heart trembled a little. Before entering the whirlpool area, the female hunter half threatened and half seriously warned everyone that once she was involved in the whirlpool, she should immediately untie or cut the rope on her body to prevent the other members of the team from being put into danger together. It seems that the worst has happened, but it''s not surprising that this is an extremely dangerous area for the people on the ground. It''s the two witches who performed too well in crossing the vortex that surprised the hunter.
"In that case, let''s move on." Only two people were lost, and they were the most unimportant in the team. This was no shock to Jacques who had experienced the pain of bereavement and extermination. She had been numb to these things for a long time, and even the female hunter doubted whether she could feel sadness in her heart. It was not certain that the part originally used to feel sadness had turned into anger and hatred towards the Litao clan."Wait, wait a minute." Hailala stops the hunter''s left hand. Jacqueline did not intend to listen to the witch''s request, but she found that Qili also quietly looked at the direction of the vortex did not follow up. Her mission, after all, is to bring the team to fioni. If she leaves the two witches here to march alone, why should she cooperate with the witch group in the first place? So the hunter no longer insisted on the idea of going on the road at once, but she did not think that the other two were still alive.
"In your units of time, we''ll wait another hour. After an hour, even if they are not pulled into the whirlpool, the air in the conch will be exhausted
Time goes by. Time always goes by, not a minute faster, and never a second slower. But this one hour is different from an hour of idleness, an hour devoted to research, and an hour spent in eating. It''s short and terrifying for Haila, but it''s long and scary. The daughter of the tomb can''t look around in the dark water like the other two companions. Qili''s eyes are her talent. Even if she doesn''t use magic, she can''t do it. She is just a pathetic witch who can''t maintain her appearance without roses, and this action is doomed to make her unable to carry many roses, so even if she doesn''t care about magic, her ability to be found is limited.
Just when the three of them were ready to accept the fact that they had lost their two companions in silence, a turning point appeared. It''s a bunch of stuff that floats with the current, and at first glance looks like a jellyfish, but as it approaches, Ellie and Jacqueline discover that it''s actually hair, lots of hair. In their perception, only one person would have such hair. Then, they found that the hair was not moving actively. Something dragged it and its owner along in the sea. It was Lothar.
The siren did not cheer, and neither did Cherie. They made a decision without any other communication. They rushed to Peggy and the count together and held them to the sea.
