Chapter 8: The Submarine Tomb of Death

Eager to know the truth of the matter, I couldn't help but ask so many questions in one go. When Lisa was asked by me, she didn't know where to start.

I immediately realized that I was in a bit of a hurry and that I should do it another way. Lisa must have been through a lot of things, and at this time, she needs guidance even more. So the old ghost and I helped her to the steps and sat down, and then sat down beside her, one left and one right. Lead her to say, "Tell me slowly, what happened to you?" Let's start with when you arrive in the United States. ”

Lisa was guided by me, and immediately seemed to have found a clue. The thinking gradually became clearer, and the conversation box opened up at once:

It turned out that after she and Duoduo and their group arrived in the United States, things went relatively smoothly. The American school is very friendly to them, and the only harsh condition is that they are not allowed to use mobile phones during the inspection. I knew about it, and I told it when I arrived in the United States.

It was normal to just arrive some time ago, and I walked around several places of archaeological value, and I gained a lot.

About two or three weeks ago, the school arranged for the next place. It is a war site located about 5 kilometers from the ocean floor of Biscayne Island, Miami, Florida. Because they are underwater and need to go to the sea to go into the water, the school has made a strict screening of the students' physical conditions.

Those of them who can't swim, are not good at water, or are physically unable to do some auxiliary work, stay on the boat to do some auxiliary work. And Duoduo and Lisa, both in terms of physical condition and knowledge, meet the requirements in all aspects. So, the two of them and two other boys were selected, one was an American student named Bill, and the other was a Chinese student named Luo Cheng. Coupled with their mentor He Jianguo and a foreign mentor as a guide, a total of 6 people went into the water. The rest of the people waited on the boat on the surface to do the answering work.

The site is about 20 meters deep from the water, and it is not deep or shallow. There is no need to worry about safety as there are protective nets in the surrounding waters. The diving equipment provided by the American side was relatively sophisticated, and the six of them arrived there without much effort.

The place is currently in ruins. On the surface, it is a battling of war, a dilapidated image. The U.S. government offered to build a submarine tomb on this site. First, it is mainly used to bury those war veterans, who have the pain of the war, but also have indescribable feelings, and would rather be buried with their comrades.

This is for those who do not want to be buried on land after death. Selling undersea necropolis to them would also increase the government's revenue. Tentatively named "Neptune Memorial Reef", this submarine tomb does not cover a large area, but it is estimated that the number of ashes of the deceased is not small, about 100,000 people.

The five of them, led by the American mentor, went on a field trip to the ruins. At first, it was rummaging through here and there, taking some photos, picking up some broken copper and iron. It's all the dregs of the war, and they have little use value. Duoduo and Lisa and the rest of them were a little disappointed, not as precious as the legend suggests.

But the scenery around is nice, and if you're in the mood for diving and playing, it's a great place.

The ruins were originally a small land plaza with a majestic lion sculpture at the entrance. Entering the ruins, there are several buildings of different styles, with towering columns and majestic statues, as if recreating the Roman city during the Baroque period. Coupled with some plants and fish at the bottom of the water, the blue water appears to be alive. The buildings and stone carvings are covered with rotting moss, microorganisms, sediment, etc., which contrasts sharply with the clear water, but also adds a bit of desolation to the place.

It's a pity that neither Duoduo nor Lisa have their own photo facilities. The only student with the camera took a picture of them as if he could, and then went about his own business.

Duoduo and Lisa hadn't taken a picture of each other yet, so they used their fingers to form a box to "take pictures" of each other. At this moment, Lisa saw the statue behind Duoduo suddenly move. Lisa didn't think it was at first, because it was a shallow area and there was a special underwater protective net, so there would be no large fish such as sharks and whales.

Just as I was about to continue shooting, the stone statue moved again! This time, Lisa saw it very clearly, and the stone statue really moved. She was suddenly so frightened that her face turned pale, but through the mask, Duoduo couldn't see at all. Lisa hurriedly pointed behind Duoduo with her hand, and Duoduo turned around and saw it.

The two boys and the instructor in the company saw it, and before they could look closely, the statue actually "stood" up. The moss that had fallen on it suddenly dispersed with the sea. Take a closer look, what kind of stone statue it is, it is an octopus two or three meters long!

As they were close to the men, the big octopus ran past them with its teeth and claws.

The two boys and the tutor were both pure weak scholars, and when they saw this meeting, they were immediately confused. was so frightened that they scattered and fled, and even two people collided with each other, almost knocking off each other's oxygen masks. The foreign tutor was quite bold, picked up the tool in his hand and hit it.

The octopus was not beaten, and it became scared all of a sudden, and suddenly squirted out a large amount of black juice. The black juice immediately blackened the surrounding water, making it almost impossible for anyone in the water to see anything. Seeing that this trick worked, the octopus immediately took advantage of the chaos to stretch out a huge claw, entangled the American mentor, and pulled him into the black water.

Seeing this, Duoduo and Lisa immediately turned around and swam sharply towards the boat on the surface, thinking of calling for help. Seeing this, the people on the boat immediately got them up, and then Duoduo's mentor and the boy named Luo Cheng also surfaced and were rescued on the boat. Behind was the handsome foreign man, Bill, struggling to swim towards the ship. But just as he was about to get on the boat, his leg was entangled in a tentacle sticking out of the water.

Before everyone could react, there was a "hula" sound, and Bill was dragged into the water. In a flash of lightning, a boy on the boat grabbed Bill and tried to drag him back. But the octopus is extremely powerful, and the boy is not his opponent at all, and he is about to be dragged into the water.

The people behind him immediately grabbed him, and everyone on the ship immediately joined the formation when they saw this. The two sides were evenly matched, and it was a stalemate. It's a bit funny to say, but this turned into a tug-of-war between several people and a big octopus!

But this scene did not last long. The octopus stretched out its other tentacles, grabbed the side of the boat and shook it vigorously, and the boat almost capsized, pouring a lot of water from the side of the boat. Everyone was so frightened that they immediately lost their center of gravity, and as soon as they let go, they fell to pieces. Bill, the unlucky handsome American guy, was dragged into the water and disappeared without a trace.

Duoduo's mentor He Jianguo saw that he had lost two lives in a few minutes, and he couldn't care about the morality of his master, so he ordered to sail immediately. The rest of the students were stunned when they saw such a scene, so they resigned themselves to the boat......

The boat headed toward the shore.

I thought that a qiē would be so calm, but the blessings are not double, and the disasters are not one-way. Seeing that they were about to reach the shore, several speedboats suddenly rushed out of nowhere, intercepted them, and surrounded them. It seems that the signs on the hull of the ship should have met with pirates. Coincidentally, before being intercepted, it happened that Lisa was washing her hands. In order to avoid the speedboat in front of them, the student who was driving the boat made a big turn and threw Lisa into the sea.

Fortunately, Lisa's wetsuit hadn't had time to take off yet, otherwise she would have drowned in the sea. Just as Lisa surfaced, she found that several of them had been taken hostage to those boats. Lisa was behind them, and quickly dived her head again, so that she was not noticed.

Lisa had no choice but to swim towards the beach by herself, but not long after, she was exhausted and fell unconscious. Later, fortunately, he was rescued by a fishing boat. After several tosses, when she woke up, she was already on the shore. When I got ashore, I found that I had arrived in Savannah. Lisa, penniless and helpless, thought of my aunt.

When I gave Aunt Duoduo the address before, Lisa knew it. She followed the address in her memory and searched all the way to her aunt's house. Lisa told my aunt what had happened and asked her for help. At first, my aunt was suspicious of this little girl of unknown origin and did not believe it, but out of humanitarianism, she let her live in her own home. Later, seeing that Lisa knew everything about me and Duoduo, and that she was exactly right, I believed it.

Lisa told the story of the matter almost in one breath. Hearing her say this, the old ghost and I were shocked by what she had experienced, and we were speechless for a long time. Don't say it's a girl, just change it to me or an old ghost, and it's unbearable to experience such a thing.

Obviously, the matter was not over yet, and I still had a few doubts, so I couldn't help but ask Lisa, "Then how did you end up in this tomb?" ”

Lisa said, "I sent the courier you received, no, I should say that I sent it on behalf of your aunt!" The content of the letter was written by her, and I just sent it on my behalf. I was arranged by your aunt to live in the attic, but your uncle didn't know it. Because, it seems that your aunt is at odds with your uncle, and your aunt is investigating your uncle.

Later, it seems that your uncle found out, and your aunt was taken away by your uncle. When she was caught, she hinted to me in the attic that she must let you come. As for me living in this second grave, it is also your aunt's plan. In other words, the woman in the castle now is not your aunt at all! ”

When I heard this, I was confused, how can I say that it is like making a movie? I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

However, after Lisa said this, everything was easily explained: no wonder my aunt's letter seemed to be guarding against someone, in such a covert way. She was afraid that something would happen to her, so she sent me the most important things. I remembered that I hugged my aunt last night, and I felt much higher. She was really not "original", and besides, she didn't care about me.

"The picture of me on the tombstone ......," I asked, one last question.

"I posted it." Lisa said with some embarrassment, "It's to get your attention!" ”

I didn't say anything for a moment, and I thought to myself, you two women really think highly of me. It's so hidden and complicated, if one of the links is missed, the clue will be broken.

Thinking about it this way, it's thanks to the Savannah Monster Cat in the attic.

The soldiers are fast, and the most important thing now is: go back and get your things, carry your uncle behind your back, and find your aunt secretly.

I'll build them and sneak back to the castle first.
