2 Coral
When I woke up again, I was lying on a large soft bed, with a little boy about my age sitting in front of me.
"Wake up, she's awake!" The little boy shouted excitedly and ran out of the room.
I sat up and looked around the room.
The room was large, and the desk next to the bed was full of all kinds of books, all of which were indecipherable words.
It was like a study, because there were four or five huge bookshelves on the wall.
The door creaked open, and from the door came the crisp sound of high heels stomping on the floor.
"Come on, come on!" The boy shouted and took a woman by the hand and walked into the room.
It was a sweet-looking woman, about thirty years old, wearing a white shoulder and burgundy sweater on the top and dark blue jeans on the bottom. She was well-proportioned, her curly blond hair was draped over her shoulders, and as she entered, a faint fragrance wafted in front of her.
"Does it still hurt?" She smiled and reached out to caress the top of my head.
Although those pure and slender hands were cold, they felt extremely gentle when the top of my head was touched, which made me relax, and my vigilant expression gradually eased.
"No... It doesn't hurt too much..."I lowered my head and touched my hand to my abdomen, which had been stabbed by the dagger.
"Do you know, Uncle Luo scared us when he picked you up last night!" The little boy's eyes widened, and he leaned over and said excitedly.
"You're the only one scared, aren't you? He also leaned against the wall and shouted loudly, 'Uncle Luo, don't come here, I'm afraid of her!' 'Something like that~" The blonde woman laughed, mimicking the boy's exaggerated demeanor.
"This is...?" I asked in a whisper.
"Welcome to Coral Three!" The boy gave a thumbs up and grinned with a large mouth missing a front tooth.
"My name is Hawke! She's Big Sister Lilith. ”
"I... My name is Liu Ruixin. I nodded and whispered.
The boy was fair-skinned, not tall, wearing a coffee-colored beret, and looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Well, I know! I already knew your name~" He raised his head and looked triumphant.
"Huh? Why? We... Have you met before? "I'm a little confused.
"Of course not! The people here have lost their memories of before they came here~ Even if we have met before, we will definitely forget! ”
He explained, pulling out a thick book from a nearby shelf.
"My job is to record information about the newcomers [to the deep-sea camps] and to include them all in this book!"
He opened the book and searched carefully.
"Look, here's your message~" He pointed to the picture in the book.
I poked my head in.
[Liu Ruixin, entered the concentration camp on February 13, 312, age 15, female, ability: none.] ]
In addition to the simple text description, there is actually a photo of me on it!
"For... Why do you know this? I was surprised.
(I don't know exactly what day I came to this terrible place, but it's true that I am old and that I don't know how to use 'special abilities'!) )
"The big screen in the arena will regularly broadcast the list of new entrants to the concentration camp, and Uncle Luo ordered me to record all the information of all the newcomers, this is my job!" Although he had already said it again, he was still arrogant, and his tone revealed a little pride.
"No wonder... I've been hunted down since I opened my eyes... Is it really because I'm too weak to be hunted? I hugged the quilt tightly, and I couldn't help but think of the thugs who were chasing me after me with weapons in their arms. Even though it's been a long time, my body still shuddered when I think about it.
Hawke saw my anxiety and reached out and gently patted me on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Coral III is the safest place in the camp!" He laughed.
"Coral? Is this the bottom of the sea? ”
"Coral No. 3 is just the name that Uncle Luo gave to this building, and there are also No. 2 and No. 1~" he explained.
"It sounds like it's in the ocean~" I laughed.
"Well, after all, this is at the bottom of the sea~" He shrugged.
"It's true!"
"I've just heard about it, after all, you see, the sky outside is as blue as the sea~ It's just that no one has been able to escape from the concentration camp so far! To be honest, I really want to go out into the world...", he looked out the window.
Indeed, since I opened my eyes for the first time, the deep and dark blue has been deeply imprinted in my heart, and looking at that deep space is like sneaking in the abyss of the ocean, and an inexplicable sense of great depression will soon fill my heart.
"Is this a prison? Why am I here? I didn't make a mistake! "The tip of my nose was sour, and I began to feel aggrieved.
"Hahahaha!"
"You... What are you laughing at! I wiped away my tears and asked.
"No... Excuse me! He smiled and apologized, "Because when I saw you, I remembered when I first came here, we were exactly the same!" ”
He sat next to me with his stomach clutched, his eyes slightly serious:
"I can't give you answers to these questions. Everyone here is just like you, who woke up one day and found themselves inexplicably in this underwater world, inexplicably chased and killed, and finally... Some of the unfortunate people who have not yet figured out the situation have become ghosts, while others have joined the ranks of murderous thugs..."
"Lonely fish will be torn apart by white sharks, and if you want to survive, you have to huddle together to keep warm! It's the rule here, no one rules it, but that's the way it is. Sister Lilith added.
She holds a tray with a bowl of hot soup and a small pink ball.
"Come on, I haven't eaten in a long time, drink some soup, and eat the fish balls."
She picked up the spoon and poured the warm soup into my mouth.
The salty taste reactivated my taste buds, and the warm soup flowed from my mouth into my stomach, and my whole body instantly warmed up.
"It's so warm~" I sighed quietly. After all, I haven't eaten any normal food in the past few days, except for tree bark and wild grass.
"Is your body still cold? If it's cold, let's sleep together tonight! Hawke leaned his face over and whispered with a wicked smile.
"What are you thinking about, stinky boy?" Lilith patted him on the head.
"Here, eat the fish balls." She used a spoon to bring the pink balls to my mouth.
"What is this?"
"Fish balls, people here have to eat one every day."
"Hmm!" I nodded, obediently opened my mouth and swallowed the fish balls.
This taste is soft and glutinous, with a faint grass fragrance, although it is a fish ball, but there is no taste of fish.
The moment I swallowed it, a tingling pain came from my abdomen.
"Ahem, ahem!" I coughed violently.
But the pain became more and more intense, and the whole stomach swelled more and more as if it was about to explode.
Suddenly, the room full of books was no longer in front of me, and Sister Lilith and Hawke disappeared from view!
Another image gradually came to mind, and this familiar image made me gasp......
