Chapter 639 Whales in the Deep Sea
Rain all over the world.
He didn't hold an umbrella.
The street lights appeared an extremely blurry yellow in the dark night, illuminating the rain pouring down from the sky and the boy's white clothes that were soaked in an instant.
He held the coin tightly in his hand, and the sound of his footsteps on the water blended with the sound of the rain.
All the small shops on the street were closed.
Only a few sparse lights remained among the thousands of houses, shining in the distance in the rainy night.
It seems to have a different kind of tranquility and warmth.
But at this moment the rain was cold and there was no one on the road.
The boy just kept walking with his head down. He looked extremely embarrassed as he was soaked, but there was not the slightest hesitation in his steps.
In the dark night, under the street lights, there was only the sound of rain and the sound of him stepping through puddles.
He walked towards the end of the street.
Those who are familiar with this place know that there is the only public telephone booth in the block.
Wen Luyan clenched the coin in his hand.

Inside the residential building, a crackling sound of electricity suddenly came from the radio that the teenager had forgotten to turn off.
Then, in the empty room, a girl's clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out slowly, and it seemed very peaceful along with the sound of rain outside the window.
"Hello everyone, today on Deep Sea Radio, I'm going to tell you a bedtime story."
The sea surged, and her voice was like a floating feather, slightly cool and hazy with moisture.
"Far away from us, on the seabed, there once lived the loneliest whale in the world."
"It traveled thousands of miles from the Pacific Ocean, waited for the ice to melt, passed through the Northwest Passage, came to the Atlantic Ocean, and finally arrived in the unfamiliar Mediterranean Sea."
"During this long journey, biologists from various countries have captured its whale songs many times. But strangely, the frequency of its songs is much higher than that of all its peers."
"Its frequency is 52Hz, while normal whales have frequencies between 15 and 25Hz."
"Because of this difference, it can't communicate with its companions."
"It has never had any relatives or friends. All the sounds it makes under the sea are just its own monologues. No one can hear its songs, no one pays attention to its sadness, and no one shares its happiness."
"People gave the whale a name, Alice."
"But no one has detected Alice's whereabouts for a long time."
"Some people suspect it has died and fallen to the bottom of the sea, forming a complete ecological chain."
"Some people think it's still alive, still wandering alone on the seabed, like a huge ghost, still singing a song that no one can hear."
"Dear listeners, if you have heard this story, would you please give me a call? Perhaps I can let you hear it."
The voice was low and light, and the tail tone disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
It was more like talking to myself than to an audience.
Then the songs were played as usual, and then the hotline number was announced.
However, just as Wen Lueyan heard every night, there was no sound of anyone calling.
Just as the radio broadcast was about to end, a shrill phone ring suddenly came from the quiet receiver.
Ding-ling-ling——
Ding-ling-ling——
That's the old-fashioned landline ringtone.
When it came out from the grid, it seemed as if it was separated by layers of water waves, and was as far away as in a dream.
The host who was originally chattering suddenly stopped all sound.
I couldn't even hear my breathing.
Time seems to stand still.
In the empty boy's bedroom, the desk lamp quietly illuminates the old radio with peeling paint.
Amid the sound of the rain, after a long period of silence, the air finally began to flow again with a slow female voice.
The so-called dream illusion of time seemed to be completely broken at this moment.
The world becomes real from this moment on.
She made the sound hesitantly, like a cautious little animal that touched something it had been waiting for for a long time through the glass bottle.
She said,
"Hello. This is Deep Sea Radio."
