There's only one place left to retake on this giant turtle island.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
So I wanted to make sure we were all up to speed before heading into that battle.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Specifically, I wanted to talk about our enemies[line 2]the water monsters Hai Bà Trưng and the Con have been facing.

The first type we encountered was merfolk.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
These things have so many traits that they feel like an indistinct mass. They seem to be related to mermaids and are known worldwide.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
So there's not much to tie them to any particular region.

Indeed. Next, we encountered the hermit crab monks. I saw these creatures for myself.

＠Benkei
Such monsters are native to Japan, but these appeared to be a hermit crab variant.

After that, there were the vodyanoy, which came from across the sea along with a mysterious mist.

＠Anastasia
Those monsters are known throughout Russia.

＠Anastasia
It's said they like to live near sluices, but I never thought they would be able to build their own sluices.

The various origins of these monsters seem to be completely disparate, but I don't think we can say they're nothing alike, either.

Even the belief that vodyanoys and rusalki are married is just a theory.

But I don't think they even come from the same part of Russia.

More importantly...I'm wondering what else these monsters might have in common.

＠Da Vinci
No, that's difficult, too. It's not that they all have certain things in common.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
I get the sense one of the monsters is the odd one out.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
It's just a hunch, but I think it's significant.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
So the vast majority of these monsters have one thing in common, except one, and I think that one thing will be the hint.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to draw any conclusions yet.

But I do think this is the clue we need to start making progress on this mystery.
[k]

[charaFace C 25]

＠Da Vinci
In fact, I think it's the key to the question that's been bugging us this whole time...
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Why have this Singularity's coordinates remained indecipherable?
