Chapter 566 Familiarity

Zhikang and Xiaowan fell badly all the way, facing the safe zone, stumbling, and finally lying flat on the protective shield in a spread-eagle position.

After the dizziness passed, the two realized something was wrong. They looked carefully and felt a chill on the back of their necks. They immediately put their hands on the ground and tried to escape.

No, stop making trouble!

Where did this black thing fall?!

"Welcome to our newest resort—free falling from an underwater cliff. How was the experience, you two?"

Xia Yan raised his fist in front of Zhigang and smiled softly.

Zhikang and Xiaowan were both familiar with the seabed. When they heard the words "undersea cliff", they immediately realized where they were. They looked up and thought they could see the sunlight on the sea, but what they saw was the bright searchlight hanging high up in the hotel.

Black holes are terrifying in places where light cannot reach.

Xiao Wan was surprised and asked, "It has fallen so deep?"

Xia Yan nodded, pointed the flashlight at the sea water below him, and said, "It's been a long time, and I don't know when it will reach the bottom."

The beam of light pierced straight into the water, a long line, and no living creatures or gray seabed could be seen.

It looks quite deep.

Out of Xiaowan's curiosity, Xia Yan handed her the flashlight and let her play with it. He then looked at Zhikang, who had been silent since a while ago.

Zhikang raised his head from the protective shield, his eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Yan felt that something was wrong with his condition.

Zhichang looked down again. The beam of light was waving randomly in the sea water. It seemed that it was full of debris, so dense that it was suffocating.

"I, I don't know what's going on, I always feel, always feel..."

After a pause, Zhichang continued, "I always feel a little familiar, as if I have been here before."

It felt like he had lived a long time, he added in his mind, but it was a little different, not as deep, and something was missing.

Zhikang's memory was vague, but the scene brought back memories. When he saw this scene, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

He didn't see what it was exactly.

Xia Yan disagreed. When Zhikang was hired, his resume included the positions and environments he had worked in. She also remembered that Zhikang had worked as a chef at the bottom of the lake.

Although one is at the bottom of a lake and the other is at the bottom of the sea, they are almost the same. He should not be able to tell the difference inside. It is normal for him to have such a reaction now.

Xiaowan became addicted to the game. As mermaids, they were naturally wary and rarely went so deep into the cliff. She remembered the bet she had made with her former colleague - whether there was a big monster in the depths of the cliff. At that time, they could not confirm it and the bet was eventually left unresolved.

Now under the protection of the hotel's shield, she will not stop until she finds the monster lurking in the sea!

Xia Yan looked at the chaotically swaying beam of light and felt as if the sea water had been stirred up, and everything was a yellow soup. She felt dizzy following the beam of light around and around, and finally couldn't help but hold her hand and said jokingly:

"Xiao Wan, if I hadn't always known that you were a genuine mermaid, I would have mistaken you for a monkey in mermaid skin."

Xiaowan screamed "Ah" and stopped moving her hands. The beam of light also stopped, illuminating a gray area of water.

Zhikang's eyes widened, and a familiar feeling surged up like a tide.

Looking at the increasingly turbid sea water, his eyes suddenly widened and he shouted in panic: "Boss, we can't go down anymore! Let's get out of here!"

"What did you say?"

"We can't go any further! There's something inside!"

"What is it? Is there really something? What could it be?" Xiaowan asked three questions excitedly.

Xia Yan shuddered all over and got goosebumps all over his body.

She quickly stood up, opened the backstage and pressed the move button -

[The hotel is detected to be moving, this function is temporarily unavailable]

Her eyes went dark, but as if it weren't for the rain, Xiaowan gasped exaggeratedly in her ears.

"Actually, there really is—"

Xia Yan turned around, his scalp numbing and his hands and feet cold.

There were densely packed human-shaped objects standing near the hotel, and within the range of the light, corpses that looked like giants were floating quietly.

There was still bottomless sea water under their feet, and the hotel was still falling at the same speed. However, this movement disturbed the originally quiet sea water, and corpses from all directions followed the waves and began to move and approach the hotel, breaking into the range of the light source and following closely above the hotel.

It was like a spinning top. The higher it went, the more corpses were sucked in.

Suddenly, there were several "bang, bang" sounds under me.

Xia Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Xiaowan shone the light downwards, and it just happened to fall on a huge, pale face that had been soaked in water for a long time. The eye sockets were eroded and black, and half of the eyeballs were squeezed out. The gray pupils "looked" at them inorganically as they bumped into them head-on.

Bang.

The face hit the protective shield, and the soft and rotten flesh was instantly scattered. Behind it, there were actually countless more floating in the sea, approaching at super speed.

At this moment, a warm hand blocked Xia Yan's eyes, and a familiar, apologetic voice sounded in her ears.

"Sorry, Boss, the environment here is a little different. I didn't remember it right away... Don't look at it yet. If I remember correctly, there should be mud underneath. Wait until it stops there, then try to see if you can leave."

In contrast to his gentle voice, his expression could almost be described as cold and ruthless.

He just stared coldly at the group of corpses that were scattered by the falling hotel, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

At that moment just now, Zhichang did remember that his last job was as a chef at the bottom of the lake, cutting up many rotten fish and serving them to customers.

In the memories, those customers never made any sound, their dead fish-like eyes were always "staring" at a certain place, and they became "fatter" day by day, until they finally floated up uncontrollably.

Zhikang knew that this would be the day when customers would leave satisfied.

And those customers looked exactly like the body that was smashed to pieces in front of him.

That was all Naoki's memories were.

He looked at the countless corpses densely packed under the protective shield, listened to the incessant crashing sounds, and a sentence vaguely emerged in his mind:

Is this how customers leave here?

Xia Yan's eyes were blocked by him, so although he couldn't see, he could still sense the number of people bumping into him through hearing and touch.

Especially the feeling of the rotten flesh hitting her palms made her feel numb, and even her mind was wandering.

How many people have died on this cliff? It can't have started hundreds of years ago...

At this moment, a loud "bang" suddenly came from his ears, and Xia Yan was pushed up along with the concave protective shield, and Zhigang moved his hand away just in time.
