Close the ring
"Cough, cough, cough..." The moment he came out of the water, Ding Can took a deep breath of fresh air, and some water went into his throat.
When she swam to the shore, she did not stand up immediately, but lay down in the water first, supporting only her upper body.
Yu Fu half-knelt down and grabbed her arm to prevent her from slipping again. His face was still as pale as before: "How is it?"
Ding Can's whole body was soaked, and water droplets kept dripping from his forehead and hair, but none of this mattered now.
"I felt a downward swirl beneath the water."
The light really couldn't reach too low. She hadn't been swimming for long when she couldn't see clearly anymore. She was thinking of relying on her sense to grope her way down.
I didn't expect the bracelet to work at this time. I don't know what mechanism was triggered. It didn't respond in the dark cave just now, but it glowed in the water.
The bottom of the pool was not very deep, and I soon reached the bottom. I searched along the ground where I fell, and finally found a place where the water was fluctuating.
It's not a whirlpool with fast-flowing water, but it does feel like there's a downward passage that might lead to somewhere else.
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to return after going down, so she wanted to take Yu Fu with her.
"I thought we should go down and take a look. I hope we won't stay in the water for too long. It won't be good for your wound."
During the time when Yu Fu was dizzy just now, the wound did not bleed much and instead showed some signs of healing. It was probably because no obvious artery was injured.
The situation is critical, and there are no medical facilities here, so the only thing we can do now is to walk through the water.
Ding Can didn't dare to use Ten Punch Man in the cave. If he didn't find the exit and caused a collapse that buried the two of them, it would be a loss.
Yu Fu didn't want to ask whether she had found anything, he was just worried about whether she had encountered any danger down there and whether she was okay.
"Then let's go, take me with you." He held out his hand. It's easy to get tired if you soak in the water for too long, and he didn't want to waste time.
"Well, I remember the route. It's okay without light."
Fortunately, the area of this pool of water is not too large, and Ding Can has already understood the environment in a very short time.
The moment he entered the water, Yu Fu could still see the vague figures of people around him with the help of the light from the shore, but the deeper he went, the more his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of dark fog and he could not see anything clearly.
He simply closed his eyes. The water in the pool was a little cool, but just enough to neutralize the pain from the wound on the side of his head.
His body was floating in the water, with only one person tied to him. Yu Fu grabbed Ding Can's wrist and held his breath in the water. All five senses seemed to be magnified at the same time. As long as he clenched his hands slightly, he could feel the other person's pulse beating.
The loneliness that I had felt in the dormitory office for years without seeing the sun suddenly seemed to disappear in such an environment.
Yu Fu felt that he had another reason to investigate the training camp thoroughly.
The two soon reached the bottom of the pool. With the water blocking their way, walking on the bottom became difficult, and they could only crawl forward slowly on the spot.
Although the bracelet was small, its strength was not weak. With the help of the light, Yu Fu began to see signs that the water was about to surge.
As I got closer, I finally saw the vortex that Ding Can mentioned, spinning downwards and merging into a passage.
He tried to put his hand in, and the water wrapped around his fingers, pulling him down with very light force.
Ding Can turned his head, blew out a few bubbles from his mouth, and turned his wrist downward, indicating that he could now enter the vortex.
However, the vortex mouth seemed to be able to accommodate only one person at a time, so she released her hand to indicate that she wanted to go in first.
Yu Fu saw her disappearing in front of him like a little fish, and he paddled closely to follow her.
As soon as I put my upper body in, I realized that there was something wrong with the direction of the water flow. It was like it was exerting pressure on my body from all directions, and the speed was completely different from what I had just seen.
His hands and feet were forced to different directions. Yu Fu tried his best to retract them, and placed his hands on both sides of his head to protect it. He felt like he was constantly somersaulting in the water.
He held his breath and turned this way and that for who knows how many times. His body actually began to move upwards against gravity, as if being sucked by a vacuum cleaner.
The long period of lack of oxygen made him feel a little drowsy. It was not until he felt pain behind his ear that Yu Fu realized that his wound had opened again. After regaining his spirits, he found that he had arrived in a new area of water.
The light from the bracelet shone upwards to the end, but the top was not visible. However, the movement of water could be seen. This should be a river deeper than the pool just now.
A person's silhouette was reflected about ten meters away.
Due to the influence of the rapids, it was normal that there was some distance between the two of them. Yu Fu had no doubts and swam straight over there.
It wasn't until I got closer that I realized the color of his clothes was different and it wasn't Ding Can.
Could there be someone else coming in here? Yu Fu raised his hand and touched it. Unexpectedly, with just a little force, the person in front of him turned over.
When the dark white came into view, he realized that what was in front of him was just a skeleton. The person was wearing a sweater, but the hat was firmly covered on the head by the water flow. What he saw just now was the back, so he didn't notice it for a while.
How could there be a corpse in the water deep in the mountains?
Perhaps he is one of the so-called patients who was trapped on Xiushen Island a long time ago, just like them.
Yu Fu was just thinking when he caught a glimpse of a white, soaked hand floating towards him from the side. He opened his eyes wide in shock and turned his head quickly despite the strong resistance in the water.
After seeing that it was Ding Can, I felt relieved.
Before swimming upwards, Yu Fu thought of something and grabbed Bai Gu's ankle with his hand. The two of them and Bai Gu slowly floated on the water.
Fortunately, only the middle part of this underground river has a relatively low altitude. After swimming a short distance to the outside, you can reach the slope of the shore.
After coming out of the water, Ding Can was almost exhausted. He bent over and rested on the spot. Only then did he realize that the bracelet on his wrist was vibrating.
I raised my hand and saw the heart rate prompt and duration appear on the screen.
Feeling her heartbeat almost jumping into her chest, she realized that the bracelet had unknowingly recognized that she was doing the ring task.
From the moment I entered the water until now, my heartbeat has increased to a very high frequency due to the excessive load on my heart caused by holding my breath for a long time. Even though I am now on the ground and can breathe normally, there is no sign of it decreasing.
The time displayed on the bracelet was almost six minutes, and Ding Can suddenly had an idea.
She stopped Yu Fu who was about to check the skeleton and said, "Don't waste this opportunity."
In her opinion, as long as the state of hypoxia continues, the heartbeat can be maintained.
The two of them tried it in the shallow water near the shore, going in and out of the water several times until the time showed that 15 minutes had passed.
This time, Ding Can really lay back on the water and didn't want to move anymore. In this way, they successfully completed the circle that they thought was the most difficult to complete.
As long as we can find a way to get out of here and return to the top of the mountain, and accumulate some standing time, today's circle mission can be successfully completed.
Ding Can rested for a while and felt that his breathing was finally even, so he turned his head and wanted to talk to Yu Fu.
The two of them were lying side by side, with Brother Corpse a little further away. She studied the functions of the bracelet and had found a way to keep the screen on all the time. It was like they each had a night light tied to their wrist.
"What made you think of bringing bones up here?"
"Maybe it's a patient who was chosen to go to the island before. I'm trying to see if I can find any useful clues."
Ding Can heard that he spoke in a very soft voice and seemed to be out of breath. He looked over and found that the cloth used to bandage the wound behind his ear had been washed away by the water.
Drops of blood were dripping down, staining the stones underneath red.
She straightened up, but a burst of hypoglycemia made her dizzy. She just shook her head and went to check Yu Fu's injuries: "Why didn't you tell me that the wound was broken?"
Because it had been soaked in water for too long, the already twisted wound became even more hideous and the skin and flesh began to change color.
"I'm so tired that I want to take a break, but it's not that serious." Yu Fu subconsciously answered her to comfort her.
The lighter was still on him, but it couldn't be lit now. The wet clothes couldn't be used directly to bandage the wound. Ding Can looked closer and didn't see any tools that could be used.
"I'll be fine after a short rest. As long as I don't move, it won't hurt too much. You can take a look at the skeleton first. I brought it up with great difficulty."
This was the only way for now. Ding Can nodded, walked a few steps, and squatted in front of the skeleton.
The condition of the bones is also quite strange. If they were formed naturally, it must have taken a very long time, and the clothes on their bodies would not be as complete as they are now. Only small scratches and tears can be seen.
Ding Can did not have any professional knowledge in this area, so he could only look to see if there was anything obviously wrong.
She rolled up her sleeves and saw a clear circle of marks on the bone at the wrist of Baishen's left hand.
It looked like it was caused by strong external force. She thought of her bracelet and what Tan Wan'er had mentioned before.
This person had been attacked or tortured by the bracelet before his death, and the cause of death may be related to this.
Then, Ding Can felt something in the pocket of his hoodie. He opened the zipper and felt a ziplock bag inside.
The material isolates it from most water sources, so a piece of paper inside the packaging can still be effectively preserved.
When he opened the bag, he saw that the paper was damp, perhaps because it had absorbed a small amount of water vapor. He unfolded the folded paper and could vaguely make out a few words from the slightly blurred handwriting on it.
This is a registration form.
Has the owner of the bones ever been underground? However, the registration slips they received for winning the water race were saved in the form of electronic coupons on their wristbands, and there was no physical slip.
Was this obtained through other means? Was it because of something that happened after using the registration rights that it turned into bones?
