Chapter 51: The Earth Under the Ocean
The fire of the sun was extinguished.
Haige stood alone in a clearing, the ground emitting a dull blue light. Looking up, overhead is the indigo blue night sky. Although the helium flash flame was gone, the space was not plunged into darkness.
The night sky was so pure that there was not a trace of impurities. The yellowish-white atmospheric cavity seemed to have never existed, and it looked as smooth as glass. In the northern summer, Haige has seen such a night sky, when the sun is still alive and the earth is very peaceful.
"Success, where am I? Am I on the other side of the sun? Haige asked, but didn't hear an answer. Success dodged his problem for the third time.
In the space, it is eerily quiet.
This silence may be the ultimate expression of noise, when the sound of the whole world converges beyond the limits of hearing, and people who stand in one corner of the world cannot hear anything. But when you are in extreme silence, people's inner world may set off extreme noise, and at this time, the things hidden in the depths of memory have poured outward, forming a wave of sound to disturb people's hearts.
Haige is currently in such a state of contradiction. His inner world is in a mess, and he wants to hear the sound of success, so that in the noisy silence, he can drive away the sound of memories.
"What's that? Is it the sound of the waves crashing on the shore? ”
Hai Ge was startled, so he didn't need to resort to success, and the subtle sound of the waves quickly broke the silence and helped him dispel the chaos of thoughts.
The soles of the feet were cold, as if they had walked barefoot into the water, and when the water flowed through the instep of the foot, it would vibrate slightly, as if there was life hidden under the water, and that life was awakening after years of sleep, stretching out its limbs curled together.
Is this the end of the Shadow Journey? Before seeing the light of salvation?
Hai Ge was disappointed and lowered his head sadly, but was stunned to find that wading through the water was not an illusion, he was really standing in a deep blue water, and the blue-gray luster of the clearing was actually the color of the waves, and the waves rose and fell from time to time changing the brightness that the light gave them.
Why is the sun missing and replaced by the ocean? Haige was confused, not knowing what Wedel was trying to explain to him at the moment.
He looked up at the sky again, and realized that his judgment was incorrect, and that it was not only the sky above his head that was so pure that there were no impurities, but also the deep ocean, because the sea was as calm as the sky, and he ignored the connecting line between the two, and regarded them as one.
"Yikes! What is that? Is it sunrise over the sea?! ”
Finally, a third party broke in, and at the junction of the sea and the sky, a white light suddenly appeared, like a bird breaking out of its shell, pecking through the smooth and flawless blue sky, and couldn't wait to get out, breaking the perfect peace in the space.
The sun has disappeared along with the entire universe, and Haige doesn't believe that he can still see a beautiful sunrise in the shadows, but where does that light come from? Why is it possible to light up the sky and the sea below? And he stood in that sea, looking back and not finding his way, looking up and not seeing the other side.
In just a few moments, the water had risen to waist-deep. Hai Ge wanted to raise his feet and walk towards the white light, but his hand suddenly sank, as if he was pinching something. He was stunned to open his palm, and saw that there was also a glowing mass lying in his palm, a white thread as thin as a hair, and the end of the thread was wrapped around the base of the index finger.
"Wedel gave me a ball of thread, do you want me to fly a kite in Illusion?" Haige thought curiously.
After only a moment of distraction, the white line changed again, it automatically dispersed, scattered into thousands of threads, and then flew out, instantly disappearing in the ever-expanding white light at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance.
"Hey~ Why did you run away?" Hai Ge didn't know that the white line was alive, so he was so anxious that he raised his foot to chase it, but not only did he not lift his foot from the sea, but the vibration of the soles of his feet intensified.
"Oh no, is there going to be an earthquake here? The earthquake is going to lead to a tsunami, Weedel doesn't want me to drown here, does he? He was so nervous that he hurried to find a way to escape.
However, there is sea in all directions, not to mention a large area of land, and there is not even a desert island to be seen, where can you escape? Suddenly, he thought of his feet in a hurry, there was no feeling of hanging under his feet, he was sure that he was standing on the ground, could it be that the land was actually under the ocean, covered by the sea?
With this discovery, he felt a little relieved and wanted to dive into the water to see what was going on below.
But as soon as he bent down, before his head touched the water, the sea area changed dramatically, and the sea made a loud "boom" sound, forming a huge circle around him and rushing downward, as great as Niagara Falls.
"Ah~~!"
Hai Ge erupted in horror, and at this point he couldn't do anything, his body was extremely heavy, and his feet were firmly sucked in by a huge force, and he could only wave his arms and shake them from side to side, like a funny tumbler.
God seemed to open the invisible floodgates that he had planted between heaven and earth, the sea level was rapidly falling, Hai Ge clearly felt the land rising under his feet, he seemed to be standing in an elevator that was rapidly climbing upward, the sea was getting farther and farther away from him, and gradually, the dark green landscape was clearly visible, and became a whole after the water receded......
"I'm standing on a ball! This ball is ......"
He looked around blankly and saw familiar grasslands, forests, and rivers...... There are also cities springing up one after another in the distance, which shows that this ball is the earth!
"In the ocean of illusion, there is a whole earth!" Revealing the truth, Haige became irrepressibly excited.
He slapped his hands and laughed, unable to believe the miracle in front of him: the whole earth had become a vehicle, and he was the only passenger on it!
But when the excitement passed, he calmed down and thought about it and felt that something was wrong, the earth was moving at a uniform speed, and it was moving very smoothly, could it be that someone was hiding in the sphere to drive it?
He cast his gaze again into the distant sky, and saw that the white light had become brighter, and it had always maintained a parallel position to the earth, and after the earth was separated from the embrace of the ocean, its shape began to clear, showing a graceful outline, like a ship.
"Are you alright, sir?" A man's voice, with its regularly fluctuating electronic rhythm, was so beautiful when it fell on Haige's ears.
"Success!" Hai Ge was startled, and hurriedly went to find the person who spoke, but apart from the monotonous scenery of the sea and sky and himself, he couldn't find anyone else.
"Where are you? Why are you avoiding me? Haige became impatient again. If he doesn't succeed, he is like a trekker in the desert who has lost his compass.
"Haha, I pinched it in the palm of your hand, it was a ball of string just now, and now it has changed its appearance, why are you still looking for me everywhere?" Success said.
"Huh? Are you hiding in the palm of my hand? Hai Ge thought that success was laughing with him, but remembered the white thread ball that suddenly appeared in his hand, and quickly looked down again.
The white thread was gone, but something else was missing, a shiny black metal chain with a solid black block pendant hanging from it.
