Chapter 37 Fantasy Amusement Park (19)
Su Yue is just a god, not omniscient and omnipotent.
He gave up several strokes neatly.
“2, 1.”
The countdown was over, and the sweet voice on the radio sounded again. It was very different from the sweet tone before. It wasn't fierce or cold, but it had a strong sense of distance.
Like a victor whose love has faded, he looks coldly at his humble lover.
"Car 13 failed the challenge, and the heartbeat penalty is about to begin."
The sky outside the window suddenly darkened. It was as if the night had swallowed the entire Ferris wheel in an instant. The thick fog and dusk obscured my view of the outside world. I could only feel my cabin plummeting.
Everyone who rides a Ferris wheel may have had this terrifying thought: What if the car falls off?
Now Su Yue is actually experiencing all of this.
Falling rapidly in a dark and enclosed space is probably the most unbearable feeling for Su Yue.
And, if he was not mistaken, the end point of the fall was...
With a "plop," water splashed high above the windowpane, visible even in the darkness. The resistance of the water rapidly slowed the car's descent, but they could clearly feel their Ferris wheel car sinking to the bottom of the lake in the darkness.
Su Yue: "..."
I give up.
.
The cabin sank slowly. Perhaps because the walls were wrapped in cold lake water, the temperature inside the cabin felt a little lower.
There was no light at all, and nothing could be seen around. The cabin was 100% dark and 100% quiet.
One could only faintly hear the gurgling sound of small bubbles in the water floating up on both sides of the car.
This darkness lasted for about three seconds.
Then he heard Su Yue's voice: "Su Chen?"
"I'm here." Su Chen replied.
Two seconds later, there was a slight sound, and the two groups of eighteen small round lights in the car lit up. The lights were bright red just now, but now they all turned green. The faint green light reflected in the underwater world like a ghost fire, and also reflected Su Yue's expressionless face.
Su Chen was stunned when he saw Su Yue's tense expression.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked with a bit of surprise and curiosity, "Boss, you're not...claustrophobic, are you?"
Su Yue: "..."
.
Su Yue moved his shoulders and neck uncomfortably, as if the fall just now had caused some pressure on his body.
Then he replied calmly: "Of course not."
Su Chen cooperated very well. She nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
After a pause, she added, "But in this kind of environment, if you feel uncomfortable, you can try taking deep breaths, and you will feel better."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment. Although she felt inexplicably reserved, she still followed Su Chen's advice and took a deep breath.
Then I found that I was actually feeling a little better.
Su Yue looked at Su Chen in surprise: "You are very calm this time."
You know, in his previous impression, Su Chen has always been quite timid. This is not a bad impression. In such a game world, it is normal for people to be like what they are. Although Su Chen seems to be on the verge of collapse, he has never hindered the progress of the game, which is already great.
But this time, not only did she not hold back, she even gave Su Yue support.
The light in the car was a dark green color that was not very friendly to people's faces, but under such lighting, Su Chen looked quite gentle.
When she heard Su Yue ask this, she lowered her head and smiled: "I was quite scared at first, but when I found out you needed help, I suddenly calmed down. Maybe it's because I'm a nurse by profession."
Su Yue's dignity as a supreme god made him want to retort, "I don't need help," but Su Chen's softness and toughness at this moment touched him a little.
So he just smiled and said, "Thank you."
.
The small green light in the car was on, and the light could shine outside. You could see that you were indeed under water. This heart-shaped lake looked clear and clean from above, but it was quite eerie when viewed from the bottom of the water.
But they couldn't be sure that this was the heart-shaped lake under the Heartbeat Ferris Wheel. After all, this world was a spiritual world. When they fell down just now, the sky suddenly turned dark. So if they were in a new place now, it wouldn't be strange.
This feeling is very wonderful. The sea is the origin of everything, so when you are under the water, you feel like time has stopped, as if you can walk like this forever. However, it is quite strange that the person next to him is Su Chen. If it was Cang Zhi, Su Yue might have been in the mood to appreciate the wonders under the water.
At this moment, the radio sounded again, with an ethereal tone as if singing something.
"Love is always full of sweet words, but also filled with pain and adventure. Once you take the wrong path, the sharp reefs of love can strand you. Now is the time for you to escape the death trap of love through your own choices."
The lights in the car flickered.
"Choice one: stay in the car for fifteen minutes and wait for rescue. After fifteen minutes, the heart rate penalty will automatically end. Choice two: leave the car and go to the lake on your own. When you reach the lake, the heart rate penalty will end."
"Everyone suffers the consequences of love, and if you're not careful, the pain can last a lifetime."
The voice on the radio continued, as if telling a story, and also as if bewitching someone.
"Please choose carefully. The heartbeat penalty begins now."
.
With a soft "beep" sound, the broadcast began to count down in seconds.
The lights in the car changed color again, from dark green to orange, pink, and sky blue flashing alternately.
This made the originally weird atmosphere suddenly full of fantasy. The small disc above the car now looked like a light ball in a disco, even a little gorgeous.
It seems that there is absolutely no problem staying in this elevator for fifteen minutes.
Su Yue looked outside again, and almost as soon as he raised his eyes to look outside, he saw a long, black object like a ribbon in the turbid water, sweeping past the window glass.
Su Yue: "..."
It seems obvious that there is "something" in the lake, and staying in the cabin is much safer than swimming out of the lake, but this game doesn't seem to be that simple.
"What do you think we should do?" Su Yue asked Su Chen, "It's not advisable to act separately. Should we stay here or swim out?"
Su Chen also looked outside. When she looked outside, the long black ribbon swam back and just happened to catch her sight.
Su Yue clearly saw her expression change, but after thinking for a moment she said, "We have to swim out."
This happened to be Su Yue's idea, so Su Yue asked her, "Why?"
"If this cabin is completely sealed, there might not be enough oxygen for the two of us to last for fifteen minutes. If it's not sealed, it will start leaking soon."
Su Chen said, looking outside again, his eyes a little scared, "Although things outside seem a little...wrong, but staying here always feels like sitting and waiting for death."
"I think so too. Let's go." Su Yue nodded, "But we can't just go out like this. We need to at least take some protective measures."
Protective measures mean that no skin should be exposed. The work clothes they wear are made of rainproof fabric, which is just right, but they also need to find something to cover their heads, faces and hands. It would also be best if they have weapons.
Although if it really doesn't work, Su Yue can use his divine power to open a small cheat, but he will definitely be warned.
Being warned = being questioned by the ex-boyfriend.
It’s better to avoid it as much as possible.
.
There is usually an emergency toolbox in this kind of car. Su Yue observed the car and found a cavity under the seat. He tore off the velvet covering the surface and, as expected, revealed a small drawer.
The drawer was locked, but it did not pose a problem for Su Yue. As the saying goes, "force can defeat skill." He simply grabbed the drawer handle and pulled it hard. With a "bang", the whole drawer was pulled out.
Su Chen was stunned.
As Su Yue expected, there was an emergency tool kit in the drawer, which contained a screwdriver, a flashlight, glue, rubber gloves and disposable gloves.
What’s surprising is that there are also goggles. This is a prop box prepared for underwater operations.
Of course, rubber gloves are safer at this time. Su Yue handed the rubber gloves to Su Chen and picked up a pair of disposable gloves. Su Chen hesitated when he took the rubber gloves, but still took them himself, because even if she wanted to give the gloves to Su Yue, Su Yue would not take them.
Then she said, "Let me reinforce that part of your wrist to prevent water from getting in."
Su Chen took the fine velvet cloth from the carriage and tied it around Su Yue's wrists with great skill.
"You are very skilled." Su Yue expressed approval in surprise.
"We always have kids spraining their joints while playing around here," Su Chen said as he tied the knot. "This is basically what I'm most skilled at."
Su Yue choked.
This is comparing him to a playful naughty child, right?
.
I helped Su Yue waterproof his wrist and put on goggles. Logically, I could go out, but I always felt like something was missing.
"Boss, do you think we need to get some protective gear for our heads and faces?" Su Chen thought for a moment and suggested, "We don't know how dangerous that thing outside is, but we should still be prepared..."
Before she could finish her words, the black, long ribbon-like thing came closer again.
This time it came closer than any other time before. Its long tail - or rather its body - swept across the car, causing the entire car to sway heavily to the side and almost flip over.
Su Yue: "..."
Su Chen: “…”
"We really need some protective gear." Su Yue said firmly.
.
"But where can we get the materials?" Su Chen looked hesitant.
This cabin is almost empty. If there is no material, it is impossible to conjure up materials out of thin air to use as protective gear.
Su Yue looked around.
As I looked around, I could hear a brisk whistle-like sound in my ears.
From the moment the challenge penalty was announced, music had been playing over the loudspeaker, as if to add a bit of fun to their waiting time. However, when the strange black ribbon slapped the car, the music actually became even more lively, as if gloating in provocation.
It's a bit annoying to be honest.
Su Yue looked at the speaker, then at the bracket behind it. It was made of sheet metal and plastic, with lightweight, impact-resistant padding visible in the middle. The entire elevator car should be constructed like this.
Su Yue listened to the gloating music from the loudspeaker again.
The speaker seemed to sense his gaze and lowered her voice somewhat, feeling guilty. However, Su Yue remained unmoved.
"There's no material in the car, right?" Su Yue said expressionlessly, "Then let's dismantle the car."
