I was so frightened that I quickly took out a tissue from my bag and handed it to him, and then gently patted him on the back - it's normal to be excited when I just get back, but I still can't accept seeing such a big boy crying in front of me.

Speaking of which...... I always thought Ono was a high school boy about my brother's age, but in fact he looked about my age...... I suddenly felt that some characters had collapsed, and the sisterly love that I originally had for him was helplessly transformed into classmate love the moment I saw his original face.

"I've changed back." He let the tears flow, or would he just repeat the same sentence. Is it stupid to take medicine? I looked at his expression and suddenly felt a little worried.

After a little more chattering, he suddenly raised his eyes, looked at me fixedly, and said, "Let's go out!" Then, before I could react, he pulled me towards the pool.

This made me think a lot about waiting for him to calm down, and then I could only hold back in my stomach at once. Well, it's really important to go out, anyway, it stands to reason that it won't come back so quickly, and when I get out, I must ask all the questions in my head.

But when I got to the edge of the pool, looking at the bottomless dark green water, I began to be a little timid again.

"Is it really possible to get out here? How do you know? I couldn't help but look up and ask Ono.

Ono looked at me, but somehow didn't answer me directly, but seemed a little hesitant. After a while, he said in a hurry: "Because Xiaomo, she ...... That's where it came from. ”

……

I looked at him steadily: "When you get out, you must tell me everything that happened." ”

Ono nodded hurriedly, then cautiously looked at my face.

When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but ask, "So how old are you?" ”

He touched his head innocently: "I'm 94, I'm a senior......

…… I thought so seriously about how nice it would be if I had a brother like him......

I didn't look at him again, and after giving myself countless mental hints, I finally made up my mind and was ready to take a deep breath and jump into the pool, but I was stopped by Ono a second before I jumped.

I looked at him with some bewilderment - what was the matter? He squirmed for a moment, and then said to me with a look of embarrassment, "I don't know how to swim." ”

……

"Wait, I'll explore the way first, and then I'll come and take you." I can only come up with this most unsolvable solution on the fly.

He nodded, looking at me wistfully, like some kind of large, loyal dog.

So I took off my backpack, took out the USB flash drive from the pocket of my underwear and put it in my backpack, took a deep breath, pinched my nose, and jumped into the pool - I have to say that this color really makes me feel a little sick.

Because the water has many unknown substances besides salt, I can't open my eyes, so I can only feel everywhere under the water.

There was really an empty notch on one side of the water, I swam into it too much, and I swam forward for about two or three meters, and then I felt that this notch was at the end, and it seemed to be another pool outside, and I gently kicked up a few feet, and then resurfaced.

I brushed the bangs on my eyes and found that this was a room that seemed to be perfectly symmetrical to the next door, except that this room had a ladder to go up and was much better lit than the next door.

I took a few breaths, took a few deep breaths, looked at my watch and calculated the time it would take to swim over. He took another deep breath and hurried back the way he came.

But when I resurfaced, I realized that something seemed wrong.

I tentatively shouted, "...... Ono? ”

No one answered. It was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of me playing on the water.

I suddenly felt a little uneasy, and quickly grabbed the edge of the pool and turned over to the shore, and began to grope around.

Fortunately, the flashlight and backpack that I had put aside before entering the water were still there, so I turned on the flashlight switch and immediately shone around.

Empty. It was as if the gentle-eyed boy had never existed here.

My mind suddenly "buzzed", in just a few minutes, who could take Ono away from me like this?!

In my mind, I couldn't help but see that figure...... Only she, who is so familiar with this ancient building, can do it, right......?

If that's the case...... Why?!

I continued to search the room, but of course I found nothing—there was no way to hide a boy that big.

A sense of powerlessness swept over me all of a sudden. As a result, I still can't protect the people I value...... So is the family, and so is Ono.

But why my family?! Why Ono?! Mom and Dad, what's wrong with them?! Hasn't Ono also been transformed back under my medicine? Although it is temporary, it stands to reason that there should be no aggression now, why do you want to treat him like this?! Why do I always touch the people I love the most again and again??

No, I have to get out of here first, otherwise everything will not be discussed. This is not the time for decadence to collapse and collapse - who knows what is going on with them but me? Who else can help them?

But I swear that when I go out, not only will I find my family and Ono as soon as possible, but I will also find out the real culprit who did all this, and make him pay the price - no matter what means!!

After patrolling the room again, and making sure that Ono really didn't suddenly pop out of nowhere, I tried to ignore the heavy feeling of loss now, turned off the flashlight and put it in the backpack, and turned out a relatively large plastic bag from the side of the backpack, tied the backpack up, squeezed out the excess gas, and sealed the opening tightly with duct tape.

Then I grabbed the ball-wrapped backpack and jumped back into the pool.

Soon, I swam back to the next room. Because I was dragging a big bag this time, I felt a lot of work, so my physical strength was also relatively large, and I didn't slow down after lying by the pool for a long time.

I finally gasped for breath, and then I turned over from the pool with all my strength, and then dragged my backpack out of the pool with the strength of milk, and tore open the seal.

It's also thanks to my tight seal, and the backpack really isn't really wet. I looked around to make sure no one was there, so I quickly took off my shirt and pants, twisted the water, put it in a plastic bag, tied it up, stuffed it into my backpack, and pulled out a clean set of clothes to put on—although wet clothes might get moldy when sealed, the current situation doesn't allow me to be so particular.

Suddenly, the body was much refreshed. I put my backpack back on and started walking towards the ladder.

The ladder is very steep. For a person with a big bag on my back and just a few swims back and forth, it was like a test of my physical strength and willpower.

After a few difficult attempts, and finally successfully climbed the ladder, I saw a tunnel-like place outside, and staggered a little further, and suddenly it became clear to me.

Actually, at the entrance of the sky walkway?!
