In my memory there are quite a few impressions of the lady in red. There was a Valpurgis Night in Las Vegas, and the confrontation between Area 51 and the Nazis continued to this day around this Valpurgis Night, and finally the Nazis advanced and transformed the Valpurgis Night in Las Vegas into the current repeater. Even so, Area 51 still has a number of secret tricks in place to spy on the night of Valpurgis, and the Lady in Red is one of them. She was originally a human to study the night of Valpurgis, but in the process of researching, in order to achieve a certain result, she lost the physical meaning of human beings.

She used to have a name, and it seems that she still uses that name after returning to the jurisdiction of District 51, but this name that means to her is completely meaningless to everyone else. The power she gained during the night of Valpurgis, and even her relationship with the repeater, was her greatest characteristic at this time.

Therefore, the more figurative title of "Lady in Red" can completely refer to her existence.

Prosthetic Takakawa once had a confrontation with the Lady in Red during the night of Valpurgis, and later in District 51, he got to know her more deeply. However, that was all before the Doomsday Shinrikyo Repeater changed the worldline, and in today's Doomsday Vision, the identity of the Lady in Red in Area 51 may be different, but I don't think this difference should be so big as to completely overturn what I know about her in memory.

However, whatever happened to her in the past and present, when she appeared, it was an omen.

In my opinion, the Lady in Red is a being who represents the Fifty-One Repeater and the will of the Fifty-first Region more than Novsky, the Child of Fate.

I didn't expect her to appear in front of me in such a way. No, maybe there's another possibility. She didn't mean to intercept me and Dr. Nguyen Li, but me, Dr. Nguyen Li, and even my missing friend "Gus", ran headlong into where she was.

This underground river connecting the peninsula and the interior is in my guess because of the appearance of this lady in red. It has some deep meaning that it didn't have before. Mysterious events are weird, but they are not independent, and any seemingly unexpected and accidental situation is an inevitable clue. The woman in red in District 51 appeared on the escape route between me and Dr. Nguyen Li, and it seemed that she was involved in the disappearance of my friend "Gus", and I didn't feel any "coincidence" flavor and kindness.

This time the escape route of the underground river has been clouded with a richer, deeper and colder color in my eyes.

However, no matter how much danger lies ahead. How many signs are hinting at failure, and since Dr. Nguyen Le does not intend to give up, I do not have any position to give up.

I would never leave the peninsula with Dr. Nguyen Lê, probably because Dr. Nguyen Le did not think about it and did not understand. However, I hope she can leave. Even if it's just Dr. Nguyen Lê, it will be a victory for me to be able to get out of here before a bigger storm comes.

In this escape. The most important thing is not how small the chances of success are, but how persistent Dr. Nguyen Li's heart is.

The buggy stopped in front of a thorny valley. It is said to be a valley, but the deeper you go inside, the gap between the two sides of the mountain wall will quickly shrink, and after ten meters, there will only be a gap for five people to enter and exit side by side. Taking away the tools prepared in the buggy, I took the lead, carrying a dogleg knife to cut through the thorns in my way. There were so many brambles here that I felt like they had almost filled the entire gap, and I wondered how that Gus friend had discovered the entrance to the underground river in the first place.

"Something is wrong, Mom." I got into a third. Turning his head to look back, he saw that the way he came was once again closed by thorns. I cut down these thorns before, but now they are what they were, and what they are now. I don't see them growing fast.

Dr. Nguyen Le also discovered this. In fact, when she found this valley, she had already begun to doubt and asked me these questions. However, when his friend Gus told about the underground river, he didn't describe these anomalies.

"Why would you believe him?" In my question, Dr. Ruan Li can only say that if he is not worthy of trust, it proves that there is no one in his network who can be trusted. But the current situation has put a huge question mark on whether Gus can be trusted.

What went wrong? No one can answer, and Dr. Nguyen still doesn't believe that Gus betrayed her, because she felt that it meant that she had failed as a human being. But now, Gus's whereabouts are unknown, his life and death are unknown, and it seems that he has suffered a disaster, but there is no way to prove it. His off-road vehicle and escape tools, as well as Dr. Nguyen Li's vague impression of the underground river, were the keys that led us here, and they seemed like bait for a trap at this moment.

"Do you want to continue?" I couldn't help but ask.

Dr. Nguyen Li bit his fingernails and thought for a while. I noticed that although the way in had been blocked by thorns again, the thorns had not grown back where I and Dr. Nguyen Li were standing. This means that the anomalies of these thorns are not "high-growth" or have a more complex mechanism of judgment.

"Keep going." Dr. Nguyen Le finally decided: "It's really weird here, but it also means that there is a bigger secret, and maybe this secret will determine whether we can leave the peninsula or not." Now that they've all been here, going back won't make things any better. ”

Dr. Nguyen Li is right, even if you exit the valley at this time, you can't find a better place to go. Moving forward can be unsettling, but there is also a great danger of staying where you are or going back. Isn't it precisely because we are looking for this place to avoid the danger in the rear?

I pursed my lips and swung my machete again, carving out a path to the depths of the valley. Five minutes later, the place where Dr. Nguyen Le and I were located was not called a "valley" but a "mountain". The standing and steep mountain wall is more than 50 meters high, and the gap between the two walls has changed from the original permission for five people to advance side by side, to the width of two people side by side is extremely reluctant.

Dr. Nguyen Le and I walked one after the other, and the torrential rain washed over the mountain walls. It converges into a stream on the ground, and the further you go, the deeper the stream becomes, and in a moment it reaches the knee level. Even with rain gear, Dr. Nguyen Le and I were completely soaked. Dr. Nguyen Le increasingly believes that we are close to the underground river. And where we are, it is a channel for the water of the underground river to overflow the surface.

The torrential rain drowned out many of the sounds, and the all-round observation of the 50-meter range made me understand the situation of the two of us better than Dr. Nguyen Li. The thorn bushes in the rear have completely grown back, but even the chain judgment has not observed the dynamics of their growth, as if in the blink of an eye, these thorns have gone from there to those that have been cut down. It was as if it had been erased with an eraser, and it was never seen again.

I took a dozen more steps forward, and suddenly my feet were empty, and I almost fell. I seemed to be on the edge of a dividing line between high and low, and there was a huge difference between the depth of the stream ahead and the depth of the stream where I was wading now, and there was a marked difference in the strength of the current. The foot that stepped on the air before was pulled by a huge force, which made me almost lose my center of gravity.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Nguyen Le asked from behind.

"There's a weird road ahead." I replied. Pick out a large loop of rope from the tools prepared by the missing "Gus" and tie a large stone. Throw it forward with all your might.

The stone smashed into the stream and was quickly engulfed, and the rope was constantly being pulled. I use chain determination to observe the sinking of stones, and to assess the depth and velocity of the water underwater. However, even though the length of the rope had been exhausted, the stone did not touch the bottom. I pulled the stone back up. Carefully inspect the condition of the stones.

Dr. Nguyen Le probably understood what I was doing, and he didn't rush it, but just asked, "How is it?" ”

"Maybe it really leads to the underground river." I speak my own judgment. Of course, if you are an expert in survival in the wild, you will definitely say it in more detail than I do. It's also more accurate, but now it's just me and Dr. Nguyen Li, and Dr. Nguyen Li's knowledge and judgment in this area are probably not as good as mine.

"Maybe we need to get into the water and have the tools to do it." I hesitated: "I don't know if we're going to dive to the deepest point or if we're going to have another entrance in the water." ”

"Gus, this guy isn't strong." "According to him, the discovery of the underground river was very accidental. If the entrance was here, underwater, too deep, it would be completely impossible for him to get there. At that time, he didn't bring his tools, and he was able to come back alive, even if it was lucky, it meant that it was where he could go at his limits. ”

"Judging by the speed and intensity of the current, it's likely that there's a whirlpool down there." I expressed my guess, and it was because it was a whirlpool that it made people feel worried. The power of the whirlpool can allow a person who is not strong to go deeper, but it also means that if there is a dead end below the whirlpool, then the person who enters the whirlpool is also considered to be dead. Neither Dr. Nguyen Le nor I knew exactly how Gus found the underground river, whether he entered the depths of the whirlpool, or whether he found the entrance in a panic and unintentionally when he was caught in the whirlpool.

If it were a natural whirlpool, I wouldn't be afraid. However, the appearance of the Lady in Red and the strange appearance of the thorns suggest that some mysterious force is at work. Could this mysterious power make the vortex itself breed some kind of peculiarity, and thus be extremely dangerous for the occult experts?

"We have to take a gamble." Dr. Nguyen Le said without hesitation, "Let's bet on the depths of this whirlpool, which is the entrance to the underground river." ”

But she had previously thought that the water here was not entirely due to heavy rainfall, but rather groundwater overflowing to the surface.

Neither Dr. Nguyen Le nor I are geologists, so we can't explain the seemingly contradictory situation that arises here. As she said, every decision is actually a gamble where the clues are not enough to judge right or wrong.

I hesitated for a moment before I decided, "Okay, let's try." ”

I tied Dr. Nguyen Le to my back with a rope.

Although I am only a weak teenager, because I have taken Paradise, Dr. Nguyen Le has full confidence in my physical strength and strength. And I don't need to think about her anymore to explain what is so extraordinary about me. Although the research in the past was more inclined to realize the "paradise" that appeared in the apocalyptic environment in the past, in terms of the effect and feeling after actually taking it, I felt that the "paradise" specially made for me by Dr. Nguyen Li was closer to the "paradise" in the past apocalyptic fantasy.

"Paradise" is not just a hallucination, people are addicted to this illusion, if it is only that, then it is just an ordinary drug, and I don't know how many products like it are in normal society. What distinguishes "Paradise" from other psychedelic drugs is that it can also have a seemingly beneficial effect on the human body. In addition to making the human body stronger, and even allowing people to obtain some extraordinary abilities, it is said that the effect of prolonging life is also very significant, and it can suppress most diseases, and it has been experienced by many high-ranking people in society.

I don't know much about the specifics. In my past Doomsday Visions, I used "Paradise" to use overloaded power for a short period of time, but since "Paradise" is considered by many occult experts to be one of the greatest aids to the expansion of the Doomsday Shinrikyo Religion, it will not be something that cannot be used in comparison to just drugs.

Dr. Nguyen Le has a strong sense of confidence in the difference that the "paradise" she has created can bring to me, and I can feel that she really sees me as the key to escaping from the peninsula, and this trust and reliance actually makes me very happy.

I strapped a waterproof searchlight to my forehead and shoved a respirator into my mouth and that of Dr. Nguyen Lê. Throw away what you feel useless and pack the rest into a box. So, when I got into the water, all I had was two suitcases. I also used a longer rope to make the modification, one end stuck in the stone wall, and the other end was tied with a hook and hooked to my belt, so that I could have a considerable distance to borrow from after entering the water.

"Ready? Mom. I asked.

Dr. Nguyen Li held a respirator in his mouth, put on his swimming goggles, and made an OK gesture to me.

I leaped forward and plunged straight into the stream. Under the illumination of the forehead searchlight, the outline of the two walls can be faintly seen, and the further down you go, the wider the width between the two walls becomes, like a trapezoid. And at the very bottom, there is nothing left in sight, only endless darkness.

Even if I didn't take the initiative to go downstream, the current was pulling the two of us, and the weight of two suitcases was faster than diving in a normal pool. (To be continued......)
