She had calculated their trajectories. They shouldn't have met, so why did they suddenly turn?
The girl rushed out, grabbed the tail of the last green light, and her entire body passed the cliff.
The team began to fall.
Is the target still the seabed?
They were undoubtedly diving towards the sea from the cliff.
A faint splash was heard, as if passing through a membrane, and Hitzfeld and some of the green jellyfish had dived into the sea.
This was a truly novel experience - she had never tried entering the ocean in her dreams.
But I have entered a river... That time I dived into the Comb River in Wayne, and it seemed that there was no difference in the dream world whether it was underwater or on land.
Breathing is not impeded and swimming efficiency is not altered.
Hitzfeld locked onto the green light in the gray fog and began to accelerate.
They are diving.
Keep diving.
Is the underwater cliff at Bartlett Beach that deep?
Hitzfeld wasn't sure how deep they had dived, and her calculation might not be accurate.
But it must have exceeded three hundred meters!
What does this mean? Many ocean trenches don’t necessarily have such depths!
Even in her previous life when diving technology was more advanced, three hundred meters was an absolute deep sea area, let alone here... She doubted whether anyone had ever dived to such a depth in reality.
It was getting darker.
There was almost no visibility, and it was pitch black everywhere. She tried to overcome her fear of the environment, locked onto the green light, and moved her legs firmly.
Now that we have come this far, we can’t back down…
At least there should be some gains...
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, she found that the green light in front of her had disappeared.
It really disappeared. It completely vanished in a flash, without any trace of light left.
A huge panic arose, and Hitzfeld suppressed his emotions, stopped diving, and tried to "straighten" his body.
But only then did she realize - how could she still tell which was "right"?
Front, back, left, right, in all directions.
When there is darkness in all directions, you have no idea where the water surface is and where the seabed is.
It was like she…she couldn't even tell if she was sinking when she was standing still!
Fortunately, this panic did not last long.
She soon got a reference - more "green jellyfish" followed her, and they automatically searched for the path she had swum in.
With these luminous bodies and referring to the difference in movement between them and her own, Hitzfeld quickly determined that she was still sinking.
Then... more references began to emerge in the darkness.
First there was a patchy blue light.
Like a neon light late at night, it flickers and glows in circles.
As she got closer and gradually sank past it, she could see clearly that there were countless blue light threads dragging underneath it.
This is a real jellyfish.
The glowing disk is its canopy, and the countless silk threads are its whiskers.
Carefully avoiding this thing, Hitzfeld soon saw a flashing light below.
She was planning to get closer to see what was going on.
But she soon remembered that some predators in the deep sea would glow on their own as a means of trapping prey.
She braked immediately, but the ball of light approached her actively.
Gradually, she could make out a huge silhouette emerging from the darkness.
It was as big as a giant whale, with a bunch of "lanterns" hanging on its head, and its entire mouth accounted for almost one-third of its body. It was far uglier and more terrifying than the anglerfish she knew.
If she really encountered this thing in the sea, she would be dead. But fortunately, this was not a real sea, and the side effect of the soul-attracting incense was still in effect. The lantern fish that was attracted to it bit wildly in the void, and then disappeared with a flick of its tail.
Hitzfeld decided to stop diving.
She felt that there was something wrong with this sea area...it couldn't be so deep in reality, she might have fallen into some kind of illusion.
And even if this is true, why did those "crazy jellyfish" suddenly disappear?
Been swallowed by a big fish like this?
No...she was more inclined to believe that they had found some obstacle.
Maybe it's a protruding reef, maybe it's corals growing on the rock wall and seabed, caves...
The place where they disappeared should be a little higher, so what's the point of her continuing to dive?
No, she should go back.
After making a detour, still using the following green jellyfish as a reference, Hitzfeld swung his body and swam upwards again.
Passing by blue jellyfish and avoiding the huge school of fish that followed them, she hung in the air, swinging her legs and waving her hands left and right, constantly exploring.
Now she knew where "up" was.
But she couldn't tell east, west, south, and north, and didn't know where was closest to the cliff and the seabed.
After searching for a long time without any effect, she saw a cluster of green mist coming towards her and trying to get close to her, so she picked it up and reached in.
"Return..."
"original……"
A magical voice echoed in my mind.
Hitzfeld had an illusion, as if she was playing a game and turning on the character's automatic pathfinding. She could feel a path appearing in front of her.
Pulling her hand free and remembering the feeling, she swam forward along the path, reaching out to feel around as she swam, and soon she felt her knee hit something hard.
It hurts a bit.
Rubbing her legs and continuing to explore, she roughly determined that there was a cliff seabed ahead, and there should be a deep underwater cave hidden there.
It is round in shape, about half a meter in diameter, big enough for her to fit in.
She didn't intend to take any risks, so she reached out and grabbed a naive little fish, pinched its gills and scooped it into the mist.
When she pulled it out again, the little fish had obviously been controlled by the "summoning". Sometimes it twisted desperately to try to break free, and sometimes it seemed very quiet, very obsessed with her touch.
Hitzfeld let go of the small fish.
This thing was trying to get into her clothes... She slapped it away, forcing it to follow the "summoning" and swim into the cave, then she pinched a ball of green mist and chased after it.
It was clearly a human soul, but I used it as a searchlight...
I don’t know which unlucky guy this is, so I’m sorry to have to put you in such a difficult position.
The cave was very deep and the little fish swam for a long time but there was no end.
But gradually, she realized something was wrong.
There is...a sound.
It came from the darkness ahead, and sounded very much like a "summoning."
But there is a difference.
The "summoning" sound is clearer and more pleasant, while this sound is more vague.
Small fish are visibly affected.
If "summoning" and "soul-guiding incense" are like two strong men playing tug-of-war, the little fish is the tug-of-war rope.
Now, the blessed "summoning" began to gain a clear upper hand. The little fish no longer struggled, but rushed forward desperately like crazy.
Hitzfeld struggled to keep up. She glanced at the mist in her hand and found that its vibration frequency had increased again.
The influence of "summoning" is growing.
The voice became clearer.
Suddenly - as if passing through a gap, the sound that was slightly vague a second ago suddenly spread out, almost deafening the girl.
"Return..."
A huge whirlpool appeared out of nowhere and she was sucked into it. Her body rolled like a top and crashed into an obstacle.
Dizziness.
But she knew that this was the critical moment, so she tried her best to fight and opened her eyes to look at the scene in front of her.
It wasn't difficult because it was inlaid with green light.
It's those "crazy jellyfish" that disappeared.
They were glowing, emitting a much stronger light than before. The light illuminated the underwater space, allowing Hitzfeld to see its entirety.
It was the same scene I had seen in sketch manuscripts... a sea of holes.
Each hole is about the size of a football. Some of them have been embedded with "crazy jellyfish", while others are dim, but the contrast between light and shadow shows that they are hollow structures.
There's something behind that.
There is another space.
It was as if there was a huge life form hiding inside, but Hitzfeld was not sure...it might just be an undercurrent in the sea.
But this is what happened anyway—accompanied by a breathing-like rhythm, which should be sea water... The sea water kept shuttling through the hole, and the shrieks it emitted in the process gathered together and actually formed a summoning magic sound.
"return……"
"original……"
She looked at the scene with some fear, and when she got closer, she suddenly saw a stone standing below... It looked like a tombstone?
Diving down, you can vaguely see a line of characters engraved on the tombstone.
Just as Hitzfeld was about to take a closer look, suddenly a strong force wrapped around her neck.
She was surprised, struggled... and kept looking back to see what had attacked her.
But it's of no use.
The opponent's skills were so superb that she soon saw black.
When I woke up again, I saw the ceiling of the three-week ward again.
Chapter 23 Suspect
“…You must explain it to me clearly!”
"I don't even know what's going on. How do you want me to explain it?"
"Then think of a way to wake her up!"
"Imaar, I have just tried everything. You saw it with your own eyes... Can you calm down?"
"I have been calm for over an hour as you asked - but what is the result you gave me?"
"…So I should say 'I'm sorry'?"
"Are you saying that your information is wrong? Is it us - is it the potion she prepared that has a problem?"
It's noisy……
As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Hitzfeld frowned because of a sharp argument.
She wanted to sit up, but her body was still restrained by the belt. She could only cough a few times as a last resort to remind others that she was back.
"Aisun!"
Seeing her wake up, Xia Yibing immediately abandoned the battlefield and ran over, holding her face with both hands and rubbing it for a while: "How do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
