The old past leads to thoughts

What is the underwater city?

"What's wrong? What do you see? I looked at Sister Yue's frightened expression and asked in surprise.

"You...... He...... You ......" Sister Yue stretched out her finger and pointed at me, then pointed behind me, and said loudly in surprise: "You guys...... You two ...... ...... the end?"

"The two of us?" I said with a frown of surprise.

I really don't understand what this woman in front of me is talking about, after that scream just now, this woman feels strange, her eyes are always looking behind me at this time, is there something behind me?

Thinking of this, my whole body couldn't help but stand on end, "Is it that damn big fish again?" Or is it the guy who killed them? I don't know when they ran up behind me? Otherwise, how could this woman have such an expression? ”

I slowly turned around while thinking, but when I turned around, I was stunned.

Because at this time I don't know when there was a person standing behind me.

I saw that this person was wearing an old-fashioned diving suit, an old-fashioned diving goggles on his head, a large oxygen tank or two on his back, and a harpoon in his hand.

He was looking at me as if he were looking at a dead man.

To my great surprise, this person was exactly the same as me in terms of height and weight.

The night has gradually passed.

In the early hours of the morning, whether it is on the street or between the buildings, there are only a few houses that are still faintly lit.

In this world, at this time, there are still more people who are asleep than insomnia.

Everyone has tasted the pain of insomnia, but is it true that people in their sleep are happier than people who have insomnia?

Shanghai, Huangpu District.

In an elaborate and chic villa, an old man suddenly wakes up from a nightmare.

The old man was nearly seventy years old, he was thin, his hair was gray, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deep and heavy, as if they had been carved by a knife.

The old man gasped for breath, the sweat on his body was like a basin of cold water poured on his body, although his person had been out of the dream, but the nightmare still seemed to haunt him and never left.

The corners of the old man's wrinkled eyes trembled, and his mouth seemed to be whispering something.

At this time, a man of the same grade as the old man pushed open the door of the old man's room and strode in.

He looked at the old man's frightened face and asked with concern, "Master, why are you having nightmares again?" ”

"yes!" The old man replied in a rough manner.

"What? Or is it that dream? The man who walked in continued to ask with concern.

"Hmm!" The old man nodded, and after a while, he said slowly: "Old Wu, how did you do the things I asked you to do?" ”

"Sir, don't worry! I've already asked Ximu to get them, so it shouldn't be too much of a mistake! The man named Lao Wu said slowly.

"Hmmm! That's good! The old man nodded slowly, and then said, "Last time I heard you say, Ximu has always been by the side of a young man, right?" ”

"Yes!" Lao Wu nodded and replied.

"What is the origin of this young man? Did you find it? The old man asked.

"This ......," Lao Wu said hesitantly.

"What's wrong? If you have something to say, you can say it directly! The old man looked at Lao Wu and asked.

"This hasn't been found yet, this young man seems to have never appeared in this world, and there is no information about him in the resources we have, so ......" Lao Wu didn't continue, when he said this, he just stared at the old man's face without moving, as if waiting for the old man to ask something.

But the old man didn't ask him, the old man just let out a long sigh, his eyes looked out the window, and his thoughts seemed to have flown away at this moment.

But what was he thinking at this time?

Is it the boy who followed Ximu, or the nightmare that made him sleepless just now, or some past events hidden in the bottom of his heart?

No one knows, and perhaps even he himself can't find the answer.

After a long time, Lao Wu said softly: "Old man, do you want to take the medicine first?" ”

"No!" The old man waved his hand and said softly, "My illness can't be cured by those medicines!" ”

"But......" Lao Wu said with concern as he looked at the old man.

"There's nothing to do, you go down!" The old man said and waved his hand.

"Alright! Then I'll go out first! Lao Wu said and was about to leave the room.

However, just as Lao Wu was about to leave, the old man suddenly stopped Lao Wu, "Lao Wu, wait a minute!" ”

"Sir, do you have anything else?" Lao Wu looked back at the old man and asked respectfully.

"Tianyi, what's going on on their side?" The old man looked at Lao Wu and asked.

"According to the rumors that he has returned, where he is now! It's just ......," said Lao Wu, looking at the old man.

"Just what?" The old man looked at Lao Wu, and there seemed to be more warmth and concern in his eyes. "What's wrong with him?"

"He didn't do much!" Lao Wu hurriedly said: "It's just that although he has already arrived at that place, no one can contact him at present, and no one has specific guidance on where to go." ”

"Hmm......" The old man nodded slowly, and his eyes looking out of the window were extremely deep at this time, as if he had fallen into endless memories in an instant, and he couldn't even hear what Lao Wu said to him.

Cold, a suffocating cold.

The cold comes from the dark and eerie waters of the lake.

The moment I turned around, the man behind me grabbed his harpoon and rushed at me.

He moved very fast, almost like a person, and I only felt that the figure of this man flashed, and he was already in front of me, and the harpoon in his hand also pierced me in the left rib, and I jumped to the right in shock.

However, this man seemed to have calculated my escape route, and after he missed, his left leg was already waiting where I had pounced.

I only felt a sore nose, and the whole person had been kicked and rolled backwards for a dozen steps, and fell heavily into the water.

But what made me feel strange was that the guy not only did not take advantage of the victory, but threw the oxygen cylinder in his hand to me, and then, after stretching out his index finger and drawing an extremely complicated and cumbersome symbol in the air, he turned around and disappeared from my sight.

Streams of blood, pouring out of my nose and mixing with the water of the lake, blurred everything in front of me.

The water of the lake was as cold as ice, and the indescribable cold invaded every vein in my body in an instant.

The cold chill was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting my skin, muscles, and blood vessels, as if it wanted to tear every skin on my body.

The nosebleed poured out of my nose uncontrollably, causing an indescribable pain in the back of my head, as if a huge hand was about to crush my head in an instant.

I wanted to catch my breath to relieve the terrible pain, but as soon as I opened my mouth, another stream of cold water choked into my mouth, making me cough incessantly, and the more I coughed, the more the water poured into my mouth and nose.

Fortunately, someone suddenly put an oxygen mask on my face, which prevented me from choking to death by the lake.

After this person put the oxygen mask on my mouth, he put on my diving goggles, and I saw clearly at this time that this person was Sister Yue.

At some point, she jumped into the dark lake.

I looked at her and hugged her fist, meaning to show my feelings for her saving grace.

She looked at me, waved her hand as if to say it was okay, and then pointed to the shore of the lake with her index finger, as if to say something terrible had happened up there.

I nodded knowingly, and then, pointing to a spot at the bottom of the lake, and making an alternate walking gesture with my index and middle fingers, motioning for her to follow me to that place.

Sister Yue nodded and gave another thumbs up, and it seemed that she also understood my thoughts.

After a brief communication, Sister Yue and I cautiously swam towards that place.

The lake looked dark and strange from the outside, but when I actually got to the lake, I found that the water was so clear that it seemed to be completely free of impurities, and I could see everything in the lake clearly.

But I was struck by the strange fact that there was not a single fish in the lake, let alone a fish, not even a single living creature.

There was only a deathly silence.

Sister Yue and I dived down cautiously, neither of us dared to make too many moves, although we didn't see the big fish that was enough to swallow the whole person in an instant, but we all knew that the guy was nearby at this time, and it seemed to be waiting for the opportunity to swallow the two of us in one fell swoop.

The place I pointed to Sister Yue was the most central part of the bottom of a lake, and although it looked unremarkable, all the light seemed to disappear completely, as if it were a black hole.

The two of us slowly swam forward for a distance, but the closer we got to that position, I vaguely felt that the water, which was originally as cold as frost, seemed to be warming up a little.

Not only that, but there seemed to be an indescribable undercurrent floating in the water, and the closer you got to that place, the more powerful the undercurrent became, as if there was a huge monster in that dark place that wanted to suck everything under the water into it.

Because the force of the current was too strong, Sister Yue and I could only insert the harpoon in our hands into the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake to stabilize our bodies, and then reluctantly move our bodies step by step.

After about ten minutes, Sister Yue and I finally approached the dark underwater area, but when I really approached it, my whole person was stunned.

Because, at this time, what appeared in front of my eyes was actually the gate of a city.

There is an ancient yellowed plaque on the city gate, and three big characters are written on the plaque, Happy Town.
