Chapter 18: The Phantom of the Tower

The pain in my hands made me sweat profusely, and the old ghost hurriedly asked me how I was? I shook my head and said it was okay, just take a break.

The old ghost said, "Boss, I owe you another life!" ”

As soon as I heard it, I was happy: "Oh, brother in distress, don't tell me these unseemly words. ”

Originally, the old ghost wanted to say something grateful, but I stopped it in time. Two brothers who know each other well say something meaty, and I always feel uncomfortable. At this time, I felt unbearable pain in my hand, so I pointed to his bag and asked, "Is there any disinfectant water?" ”

"Yes!" That's when the old ghost remembered.

I hurriedly took out the disinfectant in my bag and wanted to sweep my wounds. I took it directly, shook the blood off my hand, unscrewed the cap, and poured the disinfectant over the wound. "Wow~", a cool and numb feeling, a layer of white foam came out of the wound. After a period of soreness, my hand didn't hurt much.

The old ghost asked me, "How about it, why don't you rest for a while before leaving?" ”

"No, you don't! It's the hands that hurt the hands, not the feet, so let's hurry up. The more delays, the more dangerous they are. I said.

The old ghost and I had a quick bite to eat, and then continued to approach the central city. After we passed the last shrine in Guò, we heard the woman's screams again. The two of us both picked up the pace.

The hard work paid off, and we finally arrived at this mysterious and eerie city of horror.

It is only at this time that the legendary city of civilization that has been lost for a long time is truly presented before our eyes. The old ghost and I both wanted to see this legendary and mysterious kingdom clearly. At the same time, we can truly appreciate the cultural heritage of Atlantis:

The whole complex is not surrounded by the Chinese Qionglou Yuyu, but a very Western spire-like Gothic building. I say Gothic because I'm sure the buildings aren't Gothic. However, I can't find any words to describe this architectural style.

No matter how carefully scrutinized, it cannot be a period, and the times are different. But it's really hard to judge, whether Atlantis really reached that point or the construction of later generations, it is unknown.

These complexes all have pointed, high roofs. What is more peculiar is that there are huge domed arch doors in the middle of the room, which appear in groups of three, a bit like wind holes. If you listen carefully, it's really not far from ten wind holes. What's even more puzzling is that the wind blows from nowhere, and a strange "whining" sound comes from those arches.

In the middle of the city, there is a small mountain with caves of all sizes. At the top of the hill, there is a tall building. The majesty rather than the majesty, and at the same time the desire to project a sacrosanct and inviolable momentum, makes people feel awe-struck by the most striking thing: at the top of this tower, there is a crystal clear gem.

Seeing such a beautiful gemstone, I can't help but think that it is worthy of being a place that represents the highest power, and of course it is sacrosanct. But the old ghost, when he saw the gem, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't help but say to me: "Wow, owner, what a beautiful gem!" If you take it down and bring it back to Beijing, how much would it be worth? ”

"Hey, I said, can you go anywhere and don't think about things?" I said, "Harvest your little peasant mind!" Don't expose your greedy nature, okay? ”

As soon as I said this, the old ghost scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "A gentleman loves money! ”

I didn't bother to argue with him anymore, while carefully examining the geography around me.

The architectural style and geographical structure of this area are almost the same as I imagined. However, there is no airship that is suspended in the air as recorded in the literature. I can't help but be a little disappointed, if anything, the old ghost and I don't have to walk.

But in retrospect, it makes sense. If you get two airships at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, you don't even have a place to fly, but you don't have the benefits of submarines.

People may be cranky in difficult circumstances, and I even thought that there would be an uncle from the People's Liberation Army to save us. Because, at the world military level, no country's nuclear submarines are comparable to China's. At our current depth, it is estimated that Chinese submarines will be able to rescue us.

At this time, how I wished that an Uncle Red Army would come to our rescue. If I can really be saved, I will definitely go to the Monument to Famous Heroes every day when I go back to Beijing to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs. But this can only be thought about, we are not important people, and we are not worthy of being rescued by others.

What's even more unfortunate is that we didn't even have time to send a distress signal before we sank to the bottom of the sea. No one else even knows we're here, and that's the saddest thing. Unless the family finds out that several of us have been missing for a long time, the police will be alerted to the police, and someone will be sent to find us.

It's good if we meet a shrewd detective who knows how to follow the vine and find our whereabouts. But at the bottom of this ocean and the strange things encountered along the way. If you don't experience it yourself, you won't believe anyone when you say it. If you meet a foolish policeman/uncle, it's over. If you turn into guano, he won't be shocked.

I couldn't help but be depressed to think that we were all dead, and that this short life was coming to an end. The old ghost seems to have this feeling, and he won't be able to say a word. The two of us, you look at me, I look at you, and finally we can't help laughing.

"If you love it, you will die. Big deal, twenty years later, another hero! I said.

The old ghost was also relieved: "Yes, what should come is always coming." ”

At this time, I suddenly found that when a person has no regrets, he will take life and death very lightly, and he will not feel afraid when he is in danger. The old ghost put his arm around my shoulders and prepared to walk into the middle of the city.

"Ah~" was the woman's mournful cry again. This time, the sound was so close that we finally found the target. It turned out that the source of the sound was none other than the jewel at the top of the minaret.

The old ghost and I looked up and saw that Duoduo was tied up there!

"Toto?" I blew up the cat in one fell swoop.

Finally, after a lot of hard work, I finally found it! I was happy and worried, and I couldn't calm down anymore. As soon as I was about to rush into the tower, the old ghost grabbed me and said, "Boss, calm down!" Is that a lot of money? ”

Because of the dim light, I really couldn't see clearly. I was really not sure if I was asked by the old ghost. But it was really a woman's figure.

"Ah~" again, this time I heard it right, it was definitely a lot of voices!

"No matter! Let's go ahead and see. With that, I rushed to the tower.

Instead of guessing here, it's better to go up and find out.
