underground
To ensure their safety, I asked Lianying to go to a nearby store to buy [the item].
Survival supplies such as flashlights are essential for emergencies, and the underground passage is located...
The coordinates were sent to her phone five minutes ago. Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for her to return.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Lianying rushed over carrying a backpack full of things.
"Actually... you don't need to be so well prepared, just bring basic survival supplies."
Okay.
After discussing it for a while, I decided to only bring three things: water, a flashlight, and a mobile phone.
After heading west and pushing aside all the roadblocks in front of the door, Lianying and I carefully pushed open the door.
The door was closed, ensuring not a single sound was made. The door opened, and a blast of cold air rushed out.
Inside, the scene hadn't seen the light of day for thousands of years; one can only imagine how hot it was inside.
Low. At this moment, I looked up at the sky, and it began to gradually darken. I was unsure...
Is it reasonable to go underground at dusk? So I asked Lianying for her opinion.
See.
"We've been walking around outside for most of the day, and now, apart from going downstairs, it seems..."
There was no other choice.
"Okay, let's go down then, try not to separate."
Lianying is a girl, so naturally she couldn't go first, and I had her follow behind.
He took a flashlight and walked down the stairs. The stairs here have a spiral structure, each...
Each stairwell has a light bulb installed, but because they are used frequently, they are no longer very bright.
It glowed. The only sound on the entire staircase was one's own footsteps; the sounds outside seemed...
She vanished in an instant. I looked back, and Lianying didn't seem scared at all.
I had no choice but to keep going. After climbing countless steps, we arrived...
Upon reaching the elevator, there was only one elevator; it was gray with a few specks of rust on either side.
The walls were clear, and pressing the switch allowed the elevator doors to open, which perfectly demonstrates the underground self-contained nature of the elevator.
However, according to the laws of generation, no electrical appliance can operate with power continuously unless it...
Influenced by the dream, it received unlimited power from the dream.
The elevator descended slowly, occasionally emitting a muffled thud, unlike the elevator at Tian Ti High School.
The public elevators here are much slower, even if they could keep running, due to zero...
Even damaged parts cannot remain in perfect condition forever. The indicator light came on, and I opened the elevator door.
The door opened, and before me lay a scene I had never heard of before, though like the city district, it consisted of several completely different...
It's constructed from a patchwork of relationships, but its bizarre style makes me wonder if I've even seen it.
Wrong. Imagine a completely dark space with blue light flickering in and out.
Suddenly, a swimming pool and red mushrooms growing on the side appeared in the otherwise tranquil atmosphere.
How would you feel? And nowadays, the bizarre style of this supernatural phenomenon is neither biased nor...
It appeared directly in front of me, not far away. I wanted to go forward, but my legs wouldn't obey me.
The ground trembled, and this oppressive feeling that forced one to retreat was unprecedented since birth.
once.
"Panic... unease or fear, what exactly is this emotion?" Behind him
Lianying muttered to herself.
To avoid a similar accident, I closed the elevator doors again.
Afraid to see that scene again, Lianying and I sat there, and that's how we spent another good while.
After a moment, she stammered, "Maybe... we should just give up for now, there will be other opportunities later."
of. "
"Okay, let's go back first."
I quickly pressed the elevator button, afraid of leaving any lasting trauma. When the elevator doors opened...
As soon as I opened the door, I rushed up the stairs at several times the speed I had used to when Lianying arrived, as if...
The beautiful night view was right before my eyes, but it was ultimately just my imagination. When I bumped into it...
As I walked through that tightly closed iron gate, I realized that I was never going back tonight.
Alright.
Can you push it away?
"No, it's like something is blocking it."
"Let's try making a phone call."
"That won't work either..."
Just like the clear blue sky suddenly turning into rain, I mentioned...
The worst thing I could have predicted still happened, but I'm not ready to give up.
I had to try every possible method, so I started experimenting.
Try calling for help.
"It's no use..." Lianying stopped me.
"No one will come here..." After saying this, I saw Love.
Ying's tears streamed down to the corners of her mouth.
The underground was silent, deathly silent, just as the teacher had described.
Like Rong, only those who have experienced years of adventure have the potential to achieve this.
They stepped out of the underground without any burden, but what about me? I know perfectly well that now is not the time...
Even though they already knew the level of danger underground, why did they still fall into such a situation?
This situation arose because of my recklessness, because I failed to consider the long-term implications.
Only by focusing on momentary feelings can one subject oneself and Lianying to such heavy pressure.
force……
"Is it really... that we can only move forward?" Lianying uttered a sentence she hadn't said in a long time.
I looked at her and was surprised to find that her eyes were no longer dark, but instead revealed a...
A ray of light. I thought, since she hasn't given up yet, what reason do I have to give up?
Why hesitate?
"Lianying." I wiped away her tears and asked her:
Even though I inadvertently dragged you into this, you still chose... to believe.
Me?
"Hmm...because you're my only friend in this world." She smiled.
This means:
"No matter what kind of person you were before, or what mistakes you made, I won't care."
Oh. Because you taught me the meaning of life, and you didn't oppose my rebellious spirit.
"You really are a very good person."
Lianying's words restored my confidence, and I no longer fear the unknown ahead.
I feel lost. Although I have no memory of what happened before the dream, I believe that in the dream...
Once this new starting point is established, you will definitely discover a completely new version of yourself.
"Come on, I'm here. I'll definitely get you out of here." I relaxed and said confidently.
Tell her.
She then took my hand trustingly, and after we got back to the elevator, I...
It was a quiet reminder:
"If you feel scared, close your eyes, and I will lead you."
"Um."
After she agreed, I reopened the elevator doors. Looking at the empty, dark...
In the dim space, I turned on my flashlight and began to move my feet, stepping into the empty, long...
The swimming pool was teeming with fungi, so to avoid getting distracted, I tried not to look at the pool or my feet.
Then, Lianying regained her courage and began to ask me:
"Are we... alone here?"
"Perhaps there are others, but whatever has happened, first believe in your own materialism."
The concept of righteousness.
Later, I grew bolder and simply stepped across the pool.
Along the way, I tried to scoop up some water from the pool with my hand, but strangely, the water seemed very dry.
It was clean and odorless. Within this tetrahedral-shaped space, four...
Each wall has its own independent passageway, and the types of passageways I've seen so far are mostly...
The structure is divided into two types: one is an arched passageway through which people can pass normally; the other...
One type is a circular pipe, less than one meter in diameter, requiring one to bend down to hear it.
We could climb over. After discussing it with Lianying, we finally decided to go in a straight line.
We explored step by step. I let Lianying go through the circular passage first, and then I climbed over myself.
On the other side of the passage, sure enough, was another space, also a swimming pool.
However, the pool in this space is significantly larger, almost filling the entire area.
between.
"Listen, there seems to be some movement." Lianying pointed to the center of the pool, and I quickly...
Aim the flashlight at the center and discover that the water level, which was originally low, had dropped to a level where no one was operating the system.
The price surged suddenly under normal circumstances. As for the noise Lianying had just heard, it was merely...
It's just the sound of flowing water.
“Ah! I… I remember now,” Lianying suddenly said.
"What did you remember?"
"Isn't this the scene that often appears in my dreams?"
I don't doubt what she said; I believe everything here is traceable.
As described by Wuye, there are various branches of dreams, and finally...
All of these phenomena can be attributed to dreams; weightlessness and floating islands are inexplicable occurrences.
Aren't images simply the manifestations of dreams?
After traversing countless spaces, we finally saw something different.
Such buildings—slides and playgrounds—are chosen because the area is spacious and lacks [certain features].
It was so humid that I decided to rest there for a while before continuing my journey.
I took out a piece of paper and marked our path and the unexplored areas.
To avoid getting lost, after about ten minutes, I decided to retrace my steps and check...
Check if the gate is still closed.
Following the map I had drawn, Lianying and I walked in opposite directions.
"The next step is... to the left..."
“No, there’s no road on the left at all…” Lianying said, staring at the wall in front of her.
"How is that possible... I clearly remember coming this way."
I thought I could remember the route back and forth, but little did I know that in the end...
I'm lost. But since many people have come in before, the exit must be somewhere too.
It is unique.
"Let's try looking for other exits," I comforted myself, trying to stay as close to the exit as possible.
calm.
"Look! There's an office up ahead." As they walked, they found another new place.
Shape. The floor was no longer cold tiles, but a red carpet, and above the carpet, a...
The desks were arranged in an orderly fashion; it's hard to imagine that such a structure was naturally formed.
It's done. And while observing these tables and chairs, I unexpectedly discovered something on one of them.
A note was there, with the five large characters "Don't go back" written on it. Upon hearing this, I immediately had two thoughts.
A more reasonable hypothesis is that either this note was created along with the underground object, and it was responsible for giving people this warning.
The things we shouldn't do; or this note was left by someone before us to tell those who have left.
Direction. Regardless of which one, it's something we need to believe in. I casually picked up the note on the table.
Picking them up and carrying them, almost instantly, all the tables and chairs lifted off the ground and hung upside down.
On the ceiling.
“Gravity has disappeared again,” Lianying said.
"Get away from here quickly, it would be bad if you fell."
Before leaving this room, there's one more thing I want to confirm...
This refers to the time when items in the office were suspended in mid-air. It took quite a while for the tables and chairs to fall.
He got down and landed heavily on the carpet. He waited about two or three minutes in between.
This contradicts what was said in class about "less than a minute." Does this mean the effect of weightlessness is actually on the ground?
Is there a time difference between the surface and underground? To explore the truth of this matter, I...
We must get out as soon as possible. As of now, a large portion of the space remains unexplored.
However, not a single exit-like passage could be found; instead, there were dead ends everywhere.
One after another, for example, you climb up a pipe, expecting to see...
In a new room, he accidentally climbed up the slide connected to the pipes and slid down...
There are many other examples like this: a closed space where potted plants are placed.
In short, whether it's something that's easy to solve or something that will take a while...
Those who get back on track are all the various means used to prevent you from finding a way out.
I began to doubt whether my wish could come true. I had clearly promised Lianying, but...
I had to take her out no matter what; I'm still the most useless person in the world.
"Lianying, are you tired?" I asked her, trying to calm myself down.
"Hmm... a little."
Her hand was still gripping mine, but it was becoming weaker and weaker than before.
"Lianying...I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise to you, and I've caused you..."
I'm so sorry I ran around for nothing."
"It's okay... If you really can't get out, just go to sleep... Tomorrow..."
Let's think of another way.
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and lay down tremblingly.
On the ground, at that moment I even hoped she was just sleeping because she was tired, and not for any other reason.
reason.
Since Lianying was asleep, I could only sit beside her. I didn't want to sleep at that moment, because I hadn't finished my task.
Like a steel needle used to draw a thread, it kept stimulating my heart, as if the next second...
It wouldn't be able to withstand it. As time went on, the underground temperature dropped lower and lower, and I...
I'm not sure if I can hold on any longer.
I turned on my phone, but there was still no signal. All I could see on the screen was time.
The phone number for both Jian and Shun Wuye. If Wuye were here, would there be a way to escape?
His method? He is knowledgeable and experienced; I believe this kind of difficult problem is a piece of cake for him.
There shouldn't be any problem, right?
Gradually, I collapsed, falling onto the cold ground, unable to stand up again.
Come on. I opened my eyes and saw the blue light flashing incessantly. I reached out to try and grab it.
But they gained nothing.
"Is it really... going to end like this...?" I cried out in frustration.
Then, he lowered his raised hand.
After that, quite a while passed, and I don't know if I had fallen asleep or not; I was in a daze.
I heard heavy footsteps beside me, and with the last of my strength, I opened my eyes.
A white light drew ever closer into the pitch-black passage ahead. I waited, until...
You can clearly see the person's appearance—that calm and composed demeanor and those bluish eyes.
"Instant... Nightless..."
