Chapter 37: The Vast White Mist
Yuwen followed Lu Jingnian to set off first, but they kept walking along the road, and the speed of their march was not slow, but they were unable to get out of the range of the white fog.
As far as the eye can see, it is white.
If there wasn't just one path, they would have suspected that they were going in the wrong direction.
Suddenly, Yuwen felt that there were droplets of water dripping on her face, and she wiped it with her hand, and there was no color on the fingertips she slashed, leaving only a drop of crystal liquid. She grabbed Lu Jingnian's arm, stretched out her hand in front of him, cleared her throat, and said, "There is water." "The voice was hoarse and very unpleasant. After the simple two words came out, Yuwen was reluctant to speak more.
"Water?" Lu Jingnian was a little puzzled, he looked around and didn't find anything abnormal. However, he didn't mean to continue to speak for Yu Wenwen, just providing a clue was already rare. As for what else you find, let's go ahead and see. He reassured, "Probably...... It's almost time to ......" in a gentle tone, covering up the uncertainty in his heart, with a little certainty.
The two continued aimlessly along the road, peeling back the white fog when they unexpectedly noticed a fork in the road ahead.
Lu Jingnian did not have the slightest idea of acting separately, and with his professional standards and behavioral style, he would not allow a woman to act alone in such a strange place. He turned back to Yuwen and said, "Let's go to the left first......"
Yuwen nodded, no opinion.
Two hours after the countdown, they finally saw something different.
In front of the white mist, there are some towering blue buildings.
I don't know what's ahead, but I finally have a bud.
They quickened their pace and saw the blue building in front of it. There is a long staircase in the blue building, and there is no end in sight, but there are no other roads to choose from to the left and right.
Since the end of the last secret room, Lu Jingnian's mood has not been high. The shackles of memory from the comeback, from the double exhaustion of mind and body, all this time, he has not spoken much except for the necessary words.
It just so happened that Yuwenwen's throat was strained, and the two of them were very quiet, but it was also an inexplicable sense of harmony.
They need to go up and have a look. Lu Jingnian determined the idea of action and said to Yu Wenwen, "Go up and have a look." Follow me and be careful. ”
Yuwen nodded and walked up.
The two of them walked carefully, but this caution was obviously a bit redundant, and they didn't encounter anything on the way, no one appeared, nothing was placed, and no sound was even made. Moreover, the water droplets that Yuwen encountered just now seemed to be just a sudden illusion, and there was no relevant reminder after that.
Lu Jingnian didn't ignore this easily, he just kept it in his heart and looked at it later. If he was alone, he might step forward in three steps and two steps, but since he chose to protect Yuwen Wenwen, he still had to take care of one or two.
In this way, the two finally reached the top of the peak, followed the stairs, turned a few corners, and there was no place to walk in front of them. Above the highest peak, there is a small platform.
Standing on the platform, there are no barriers around, but you can't see the surrounding scenery, it is completely covered by white mist.
Lu Jingnian instructed Yu Wenwen, "You stand in the middle, I'll go to the edge and take a look." ”
Yuwen nodded and stood still.
Lu Jingnian paused and added, "...... If there's an accident, you go back the way you came! ”
Yuwen grabbed Lu Jingnian's sleeve, opened her mouth, and whispered, "Be careful." ”
Lu Jingnian pressed his backhand on Yuwen's hand, patted it lightly, to show appeasement, and did not speak again. He withdrew his hand and explored towards the edge of the platform, groping his way forward, his hands touching the three sides of the platform were covered, like the touch of glass, but because of the presence of this white mist, he could not see clearly.
There is still one last side left...... Yuwen held her breath, her eyes moving closely with Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian looked back at Yuwen Wenwen, nodded at her, and groped towards the last side. However, it was only a step before the difference was noticed. Hand...... You can stretch it out. That is, on this side, there are no barriers!
Lu Jingnian first stood and explored with his hands, then changed to squatting and groped for the edge. There is a discovery!
The platform on this side extends out, there is a sliding junction, the surface of the material is smooth, and there is even the presence of water on it!
Lu Jingnian sat down, and he didn't invite Yuwen to come over to take risks, he planned to test the depth first. He poked his foot out, and as he had guessed, it was about thirty degrees, and there was a downhill that connected to the landslide. If you are not mistaken, the next path is ...... This should be the place!
Lu Jingnian put down both feet, looked at the vast white fog with extremely low visibility in front of him, and made up his mind not to let Yuwen participate in it. He turned back to Yu Wenwen and said, "Pay attention to that timing...... If it's almost time, you can go out first! ”
Yuwen was a little hesitant, but looking at the white mist in front of her, she couldn't say anything to move forward together.
However, there is no room for Yu Wenwen to wait for a moment's reply. Lu Jingnian was suddenly pushed hard by an inexplicable force from behind him, and he was sure that it was not the work of Yuwen Wu, who was two steps away. Therefore, there may be creatures on the platform that they can't see, or unknown mysterious powers!
There was no time to beckon Yuwen to pay attention, Lu Jingnian had already slid down the landslide, and he couldn't even convey a word to Yuwen Wen.
Not knowing what was ahead, Lu Jingnian could only rely on experience and instinct, clasped his hands to his chest, and tried his best to fit his body into the slide.
The speed is getting faster and faster, and the wind in front of him is getting bigger and bigger, but Lu Jingnian didn't dare to close his eyes and take shelter, and passed the plaque standing in the white fog left and right, that ...... There must be a clue to what needs to be memorized.
In the slide, under the body, as previously verified, there are some water stains. And, the further down he went, the more water stains there were, and even some of them splashed up because of his passing, forming a large splash.
It is said that the flowers are gradually becoming charming, but the splash can also blind the eyes and hinder observation.
The speed of the slide is getting faster and faster, and it doesn't take much time to fall back to the ground. So, except for the first two plaques, the rest ...... Either I watched it halfway, or I missed it because of the splash.
As the speed finally slowed down, little by little, Lu Jingnian stopped in a place that resembled flat ground. Of course, judging from the texture underneath, it is still the slide.
As early as when the speed began to slow down, Lu Jingnian sat up with the strength of his waist and abdomen, and in the process of deceleration, he used his body as a reverse friction force to slow down the distance of inertial impact.
The slide was submerged in water, and the water level was measured by the sitting Lu Jingnian, and the water level at the end of the straight slide reached his chest. If he hadn't sat up just now, or had still had the inertia to rush forward, falling into the water would have been inevitable.
