XIII. Bronze masks underwater

Videotape? I looked at it on my phone and it didn't have any label attached to it, and I didn't know what it was, "This is Panasonic's digital camera tape." Suddenly, Xu Ming walked over and clicked on the lower left corner of the videotape, where there was a logo. The logo is around the little circle in the middle of the videotape, so I can't see it at all unless I look closely.

"Panasonic's digital camera?" I glanced back at Lu Qingdong and found that his eyes had changed, and the reaction I got at the first time was different, this thing was his friend's wife, and the underwater information in the woman's hand. But why did she give this thing to Lu Qingdong?

For a while, the old man still couldn't understand what was going on? But before I had time to ask Lu Qingdong some things, I heard Lu Qingdong command and went out, he said that he went to borrow a player, many of his friends are fond of outdoor adventures, so this kind of DVD player is a must-have, after all, for those professionals to use their own large-screen TV at home to watch their own experience is the most enjoyable, I said that it is not okay to use a laptop? Lu Qingdong told me on the other hand that his computer was lent to his wife's younger brother to play, and there was no such DVD player at home, after all, there was an era of computers.

During this period of time when Lu Qingdong left, I talked to the old man about the deep pool, and during this period, the fat man was also very well-behaved and went to the toilet, the old man thought for a while and said to me, I have also thought about this matter, but I have seen the map, and the river basin painted on the map is not through this Qujing Luoping at all, so it is not a good idea for us to go down rashly, if we really want to go into the water, it is estimated that a lot of time will be wasted, so my idea is very irrational. As for what's beneath that pool, the world is so big that we have to meddle in every weird and bizarre thing?

The old man said to me, "Your task now is to heal your injuries, and we must rush to Lincang as soon as possible, knowing that we have delayed a lot of time." Oh! By the way, Wang Lei, tell him about the situation over there. ”

"Those people had already appeared in Lincang the day before yesterday, but they only appeared and entered the hotel and never came out."

"Two days is enough time for them to plan a lot of things." Xu Ming said to me, "This is like a big group, if we rush over rashly, it must be us." ”

"What then?" I asked.

"We can go in later, or we can watch them outside." The old man crossed his shoulders and asked, "Which one do you choose?" ”

"What do we get by going in late? What can we keep out there? I've seen the map, so are we going to go abroad? I snorted.

Just when we were arguing, Lu Qingdong came back, still holding a DVD player in his hand, "I borrowed something, what about the videotape?" Saying that, he picked up the videotape on the table and put it into the DVD, and then the fat man also walked out, and our group was like those old aunts in Jianhe watching the movie of the Red Army's Long March, excited and excited staring at the big screen, but then again, I didn't have much interest after the old man poured such a basin of cold water, but Lu Qingdong's whole person was in a state of almost madness, after all, this video was a video that made them crazy.

The only thing that can interest me about this matter now is why the hell did that person send this tape? Why did you refuse to open the door before? Isn't this a conflict? Besides, why did you send this thing at this time? What does time say? Or is it? It occurred to me that it wasn't because of me, right? Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a burst of sounds, and I turned my mind to look over there, and saw that the picture of the television had cut into the video, and it was a dark video, with only a pillar of light piercing through the entire surface of the water and reaching the bottom of the water.

"From the time you entered the water?"

The underwater light is very dim, the position of the camera should be in his hand, he is swimming while pointing the camera down, and then a very strange phenomenon appears, after he dives into the water for a distance, he looks at his watch, and begins to swim forward, his speed is very fast, I can see a few small fish cruising under him, slowly he pointed the camera in front, I saw that he is not diving but simply wants to swim forward, although there is nothing worth speculating on this, But I always felt that he seemed to have a purposeful surname, for the simple reason that he never stayed somewhere.

One hour passed, I saw him start to float, and finally I heard a sound of breaking waves and he came to the surface, and then I heard an exclamation and saw that the camera lens was already on it, and then we realized that it was a cave above, not the top of the cave as we saw at the entrance, the top of the cave was level with the water. It was huge, so large that I could barely see the top of my head, and the light from the helmet filled the darkness, and I could only see countless bats hanging upside down on it, which made people shudder. "Something is wrong." At this time, I heard the old man and Lu Qingdong shouting at the same time, they looked at each other and the old man said, "It's so wrong, where do these bats come from?" It will definitely not fly in from that little gap in the water, and it is also impossible to be in this space all the time, you must know that without a biological chain they will not stay in one place for a long time, so this water space must be very large, unimaginably large, and there must be some other exit. ”

"That's right." Lu Qingdong nodded, "I've never heard of such a large empty space under Monkey Mountain, and I've paid attention to the time of his dive and ascent. ”

"Deep underground." The fat man suddenly muttered to himself, "It took him 20 minutes to dive to his depth." It only took 5 minutes to ascend, and the distance of the swim in the middle was definitely not larger than the distance of 5 minutes. So at least 10 minutes of diving distance is gone, then we can know what he is at a distance from the ground level, it is likely that this is an underground sea, with the trend of the terrain has been going down, otherwise the water surface should have overflowed the pool a long time ago. ”

"That's right. The trend behind Monkey Mountain is indeed a high-to-low trend. Lu Qingdong said, "And there is another point, I always feel that something is wrong with him, why did he swim so much distance when he dived, but at this time he floated up?" Is it calculated? I've heard from the expedition team that the cave has always been at the same level, and no one can come out halfway to breathe, so diving equipment is a must. ”

"Don't talk, keep watching." I interrupted Lu Qingdong because I heard something wrong with the sound of the water, as if something was stirring the water underwater.

The space is surrounded by cave walls, because of the water vapor, everything you see around is particularly smooth, slowly on the water surface seems to have rested enough, he started breaststroke, this breaststroke lasted for nearly half an hour, the camera suddenly appeared such a scene, the flow of water is getting slower and slower, and even there are bursts of water waves from the front to the back. To the shore? I thought to myself, suddenly I saw a rock wall under the water in front of me, and it was already at the end? It seems that this place is really just a small waterhole, right? But why did so many people return in vain? It's not because of this that you are afraid to move forward, right?

Sure enough, the man had already reached the front of the waterhole, but the camera in his hand had not been brought out of the water, so I don't know what he was looking at on the water now? But I at least know if this place is the upside-down sea I need to find, it's just such a small place. After three minutes of watching, the man finally began to go back and forth.

It's a very oppressive picture, without the slightest dialogue or change in scenery, just water, dim water and the sound of the water flowing.

"No, what is this?" The fat man glanced at the tape and had 2 hours left, oh my God, is this how he spends all this time?

"That's not right." As soon as the fat man said this, I realized that the time difference was too great, and now he has begun to return, but things are not what I thought, and suddenly he began to turn around again, back to the end of the pool, and was looking again, and after reading it, he swam back again, and then looked again, and then swam back again, crazy, just going crazy, what happened to him? You need to do one thing back and forth like this. What's there, exactly? What did he really see? But the VCR was still caught in his hands underwater, and he didn't want to record what he saw, why? So what was the purpose of him taking this machine?

Only the sound of the water is as dull as the fat man said, and I guess I'm going to go crazy after watching it, right? But there was always a little bit of motivation that drove me, that drove me to keep watching.

Finally, after 30 minutes, he stopped this senseless act, and began to swim back seriously, time passed minute by minute, nothing worthy of our attention, during which the fat man had gone back and forth I don't know how many times, he said, "Don't look at it, you will probably get sick if you see too much." Do you know the paintings of the mentally ill? They don't care about painting at all, but those boring philosophers and psychologists analyze those paintings as the head of the Tao, and there are many bright spots, but in our opinion, only their kind can understand those paintings, right? ”

I didn't pay attention to the fat man, I just felt a little shaken in my heart, but I didn't believe or even couldn't accept that I had worked hard for so long, and the idea was just sent away by a boring videotape, I began to look at the scenery outside the window from time to time, and the thoughts in my heart were no longer the pursuit of one on this videotape, and Lu Qingdong was around me, and the other people didn't care anymore when they were watching this video as if they were watching a boring advertisement.

But.

Suddenly, Lu Qingdong screamed out, and this voice echoed in the house and startled us. I asked, but when I saw Lu Qingdong's eyes looking at me, I suddenly realized that something was wrong, this look was that kind of familiar and fearful look, just like the third uncle saw me for the first time, I suddenly felt my heart beat violently.

At this time, the old man had already turned the lens back, dim underwater, a series of fluctuations spread out little by little below, the light showed a straight forward trend on the water, and there was no idea of going down to show us what was underwater, but at this time there was a face at the camera, and the road came out, and soon it was a face, it would never be wrong, there were people under the water, there was a face. Fast flashes passed, and my heart began to speed up and I couldn't even stand the stimulation.

The old man retreated again, retreated again, and froze again.

What kind of face did I already see? But I don't believe it, I don't believe my mask is in this puddle.

Finally the picture was frozen, exactly the same, exactly the same mask, in front of me from the underwater video camera, the people around me looked at me with a strange look, and I was staring at the camera, the bronze mask, the first time I saw the mask on my face from a place that was not a mirror.

"I see."
