Chapter 14: Strange Pictures

"Hey, are you alright?" Liu Min looked at Rey who was talking to himself and asked with concern.

After listening to the system prompt, Rey turned his head in a chic manner.

Panic and fear all disappeared from his face, replaced by a charming smile.

It's a pity that the surroundings are dim, and no one appreciates the romantic smile.

"Let's find another way." Rey gently patted Liu Min on the shoulder, and confidently walked towards the edge of the protruding rock.

The man who was scratching his ears and cheeks just now, panicked, seemed to have suddenly regained his self-confidence, looking at Rey's blurred back, Liu Min was thoughtful.

Rey's hopeful groping of the entire protruding rock came to a startling conclusion.

It's just an ordinary rock! There is nothing hidden around this rock!

But the system prompt shouldn't be deceiving, and it seems that you can only look under the rocks.

"Liu Min?"

"Huh?"

"Do you still have a fishing line?"

"There should be one more in the package, but there is no more hook."

"Okay, tie the line to me." Rey made up his mind.

"Do you want to take a look down there?" Liu Min immediately understood Rey's thoughts.

"Yes."

"I'll do it anyway." Liu Min is obviously not very comfortable with Rey.

"No, no. You just woke up from a coma, or I'm more suitable. ”

“…… All right. ”

Liu Min took out a slender fishing line from the package and deftly tied two knots. Tie one end of the line to the edge of the protruding rock, then wrap it tightly around the rod, and the other end tightly binds Rey's round waist, and two small white hands hold both ends of the rod horizontally.

"In a while, I'll put it little by little, you have to be careful."

"Okay."

Just as Rey had just descended a few meters along the edge of the rock, he saw that beneath the huge rock he was in was a protruding rock.

This rock is slightly smaller than the upper rock you are in, so it is perfectly hidden under the upper rock.

Hmph, it's quite cleverly designed.

"Rey......

Liu Min clutched the slender fishing rod tightly, and his small hands turned slightly white from the force.

"Liu Min ......"

Rey's voice came slowly from beneath the rock.

"Liu Min, try to swing me up......"

Rey shouted confidently as he looked at the nearby subterranean rock.

Slowly, Rey began to swing from side to side......

The slender fishing line was tightly tied to his bare waist, and he was deeply immersed in the flesh, and it hurt to strangle.

Good.

Rey stared closely at the rocks that flickered beneath him, cautiously fumbling for the knot around his waist.

Far and near, far and near......

There was the sound of the wind in my ears, and my forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Far and near, far and near......

The black rock beneath him was oval-shaped, and the part that extended out became smaller and smaller, like a monster sticking out its tongue.

Far and near, far and near......

Rey felt a knife pain in his lower back, and it seemed that the thin fishing line had cut through the skin around his waist.

Rey's right hand gripped the line tightly, and his left hand quickly untied the knot on his waist......

A stumbling ......

Rey gripped the line with both hands, his body swaying from side to side with the line.

The rocks beneath him flickered far and near......

Suddenly far away...... Approaching ......

Good!!!

Just as his body rushed in the direction of the rock beneath him, Rey suddenly let go of his hands.

"Boom!"

Rey's shirtless flesh and blood slammed into the exposed rock, and under the huge inertia, Rey involuntarily rolled up......

"Gurgling...... Jabber...... Syllable! ”

Rey, who had hit the stone wall, finally stopped.

……

Twinkle and twinkle, the sky is full of small stars.

Lying between the narrow crevices of two layers of rock, Rey felt the stars shine overhead.

"Hey, Rey, you, are you alright?"

Liu Min's anxious voice came from above the rock.

"Uh......h I'm fine. Rey said weakly.

I feel that there is no place in my body that does not hurt.

Since entering the game, I have wet my pants and drenched in the rain, wading through the grass and climbing the hill. Drink the poisonous wine and fall off the cliff, and roll the rocky slope bare-chested. The four beauties didn't see it, let alone immortal wealth. There was never a sword behind him, and the system prompted him to say nothing.

Is it yourself playing the game or is the game playing itself?

"Rey! Ray! ”

Just when Lei Yi was thinking indignantly, Liu Min's more anxious voice came, as if there was still a little crying.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Rey struggled to his feet.

There was little space between the two layers of rock, and only Rey could stand on his waist.

"It scared the hell out of me. The end of the line suddenly came loose, and then I heard several loud noises, and I thought, I thought ......."

"It's okay, I'm okay! Liu Min, there's another layer of rock down there. Rey shouted in a hurry.

Even a girl with a weak appearance like Liu Min hides a strong heart, and she is still thinking crankily about a big man.

"Liu Min, Liu Min. Hand over the rod and I'll pull you down. ”

In a few moments, a pitch-black fishing rod reached out of the dim space, and Rey held it tightly.

"Good. Liu Min, I've already caught it, you hold on to the other end, I'm going to pull. ”

As soon as Lei Yi exerted his strength, Liu Min's light body slid down the fishing rod and landed steadily, I don't know how many times more elegant than he had parachuted in.

"Sure enough, there's another layer here." Liu Min looked carefully, and his petite body was just right to stand upright.

"It's just too dark." Rey could only bend his back and speak.

"Hmm." Liu Min took out the flint and fire sickle.

"Wipe ......"

A few flashes of fireworks suddenly flashed in the dim space.

The light is fleeting.

"Wipe ......"

Liu Min struck the flint with the curved fire sickle again.

There are only majestic rocks all around.

This layer makes no difference except that it is smaller than the previous one.

This is also an ordinary and ordinary stone!

"It's okay, let's continue to look for ......" Liu Min silently patted Rey on the shoulder.

Isn't there a place to hide here? Wouldn't it make no sense to bump around and roll around like a bowling ball?

Where is your mysterious homeland in the place where the rock protrudes?

Rey saw Liu Min's petite figure stubbornly groping around, wiping the flint in his hand from time to time, and sparks splashed everywhere.

It's getting colder and colder, and I can't go on any longer.

That's right!

If there's one layer here, there's another layer below.

"Liu Min?"

"Hmm...... Rey, do you still want to go down? ”

Liu Min had already guessed Rey's thoughts.

"No, no, I have a better idea."

……

Rey and Liu Min were lying prone on the rock wall, only their heads exposed, their four eyes glued to the fishing line that had been put down, the head of which had been ignited by the flint, and the faint flames were dancing.

The flames that slowly lowered the fishing line illuminated the pitch-black space below.

Really.

There is one more layer below.

The rock below is oval in shape, slightly smaller than the previous layer, perfectly hidden beneath the upper rock.

The only difference was that the flickering line was swung violently by a strong gust of wind, and after a while, the fire was extinguished.

A scorching smell wafted up.

"It's windy." Rey said to Liu Min, who was lying beside him.

"Well, not the wind in the valley. Much more drastic. Liu Min said softly.

"Yes. It's the wind that blows from the hole. ”

"Yes."

……

"There's a cave down there!" Both of them shouted excitedly at the same time.

……

"Why don't I come first this time?"

"No, no, I'll do it." Rey squeezed the slender fishing line a little above his already red and swollen waist like last time, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and went down again.

"Boom!"

Rey fell to the ground like a brick. If you fall into the water, you don't know how much splash it will make, and if you were a diver, it would be a zero-point move.

Taking the fishing rod stretched out by Liu Min, Rey pulled it gently, and Liu Min fell to the ground lightly along the fishing rod, without any splash, flawlessly.

Hmph, this game is to make yourself suffer.

The bottom layer is not only rocky, but also very narrow.

Like a dog hole.

Can a human body get through a dog hole?

Of course!

Rey tried, and although the hole was small, his shoulder barely entered, and there was not only wind in the hole, but also a hazy light ahead.

The cave meanders and twists and turns, at first sliding sharply, like playing on a slide.

But the rock wall was not as smooth as a slide, and after Rey's bare and quickly sliding, Rey only felt a burning pain in his chest.

The cave begins to become wide and straight after extending to the very bottom.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The footsteps of the two echoed through the cave.

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a lot of openness in front of me.

A bend of turquoise water appeared in front of you.

There are countless fireflies flying on the water of Qingqing Lake.

The green light illuminates the calm waters of the lake, like an emerald set in a cave.

"Ahh

Liu Min ran excitedly towards the fireflies.

Fireflies flying in the sky shimmered, reflecting the handsome face of the girl.

"Rey, come on, it's so beautiful......"

The girl shouted excitedly, and stretched out a small white hand to the firefly.

It was a strange image that still popped back in Rey's mind many years later.

In the huge empty cave, on the calm water of the lake, fireflies fluttering like elves shimmered with turquoise light. There was a young girl standing by the lake, her eyes slightly closed, and she stretched out a hand, as if to ask the lonely lake to return to her own time......

Rey walked silently towards the lake.

The girl opened her eyes.

"Rey, look, it's really beautiful."

Liu Min's delicate body was trembling slightly.

No matter how strong a person is, there are times when he is vulnerable, let alone a weak girl.

"Hmm."

In the end, Rey still didn't take Liu Min into his arms.

The two were silent.

……

"Rey, have you ever hated anyone?"

After a while, Liu Min suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

"Sometimes, sometimes, I hate Liu Gang so much, we were living a peaceful and happy life, isn't that good? Why do you have to look for any secret of eternal life? Is it really possible to live forever? ”

“……”

Rey couldn't answer.

It's just a game, a game.

"Why do you want eternal life? Rey, are you also here for the secret of eternal life? Liu Min's clear eyes looked at him.

“……”

Rey couldn't answer.

It's just a game, a game!

“…… Let's go, we have to find a way to get out. Rey didn't know what to say.

Liu Min silently stared at the fireflies-ridden lake, and nodded as if he had made a lot of determination.
