Chapter 38 Dream Amusement Park (20)
If Su Chen were to describe the following scene, it would remind her of her first meeting with Su Yue in the dungeon in the mountain village.
The handsome white-haired boy, with a harmless face, performed a heinous act of destruction. Without damaging the cabin, he easily removed the drawers under the seats and the platform where the speakers were placed.
I don't know how he did it. He clearly had hands with five fingers, and his hands even looked whiter and thinner than other men's hands. But with just a casual bend and fold, all the put-together drawers and tables were shattered into pieces by him.
During this time, Su Chen heard Xiao Laba wailing. In her impression, Su Yue had always been a very gentle person, even to weak players like them. However, he had no sympathy for NPCs like Xiao Laba.
Su Yue removed the speaker expressionlessly and threw it aside. He then quickly sorted the panels into different categories and glued them together. Soon, he had the prototype of a helmet. His movements were so skillful that Su Chen suspected that he must often assemble Gundam models in his spare time.
In just a few minutes, Su Yue had pieced together two helmets with his bare hands. After that, Su Yue used flannel, waterproof filling and rubber to tie two bulging empty bags to use as simple scuba gear. This thing couldn't last long, but a few minutes was enough.
From the perspective of manual work, Su Yue's efficiency can be said to be very fast.
However, just as Su Chen had predicted before, within fifteen minutes, water would enter the cabin and there would be a lack of oxygen. At this time, only about four to five minutes had passed, and the cabin was already very cold. There was already a thin layer of accumulated water, which was deeper than the soles of his shoes.
Once the water starts to seep in, it will come in faster and faster, and they must leave as soon as possible.
.
"Can you swim?" Su Yue asked Su Chen while handing her a simple helmet.
"Yes." Su Chen said, "I'm a good swimmer."
"That's good." Su Yue said, handing her a small flashlight. "Follow me closely and keep the flashlight on at all times. I will use the beam of light to determine your location. If you are in danger, turn the flashlight on and off repeatedly to make it flash, and I will come to save you."
Su Chen looked outside the car again. The lake outside was pitch black. The strange, huge black ribbon-like creature seemed to have sensed something and was wandering outside the car.
Other shadows can be vaguely seen in the lake, like other black ribbons, which are not very clear, but no matter what they are, it is something that should not appear in a scenic lake.
"I'll be in front, you follow me. If I get into a fight, don't worry about me and swim upstream in one go. Do you understand?" Su Yue calmly put on his helmet, tied on a simple scuba tank, and reinforced the joints between the goggles, breathing tube and helmet with glue.
He spoke as if he had not noticed at all, or did not take the black ribbons seriously at all.
"...I understand." Su Chen nodded hesitantly, but still worried, "If you are in danger, will I completely ignore you?"
"You can't control it even if you want to." Su Yue said without thinking.
Su Chen: “…”
There's no need to be so sincere.
Su Yue seemed to realize that he was being too blunt and cleared his throat: "Protecting yourself will save me as much trouble as possible."
He walked to the elevator door, holding the safety hammer. The water seeping in had already reached his ankles. "Are you ready? Get ready. I'm going to open the door."
Su Chen took one last deep breath, the cold air in the car filling her chest, and she nodded.
.
As Su Yue picked up the safety hammer, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if a strong murderous intent was lurking around him. His instinct for danger made even the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
In an instant, Su Yue swung the hammer without any hesitation and smashed it hard on the glass.
The first hammer created spider-web-like cracks, and the second hammer shattered the glass like powder all over the floor with a "crash", and the cold lake water poured into the car.
Before Su Chen could react, Su Yue had already grabbed her arm and took two quick steps forward while the water was still not flooding the cabin. On the third step, the water had already reached his waist. He pushed off the ground and paddled hard with his hands. Although Su Chen didn't react, he cooperated by paddling. The two of them rushed out of the cabin like two torpedoes.
Then Su Yue turned around, and Su Chen also turned around.
The beam of light from the flashlight was the only source of light in the dark underwater world. Now both of their beams of light were shining towards the pink cabin, creating a eerie and dreamy contrast.
When the flashlight shone over, both of them clearly saw a pale, swollen, strange face reflected behind the unbroken part of the window glass of the elevator.
Su Yue: "..."
No wonder the staff said that only two people can sit in one carriage.
Because there was a ghost in the carriage.
Maybe the water level needs to be high to be released. Looking at that face, it looks like a water ghost.
If they were to stay in this elevator for a full 15 minutes, they would probably have to fight with that strange face in the confined space.
.
Su Yue glanced at Su Chen and was a little worried about her mental state after seeing these, but now both of them were wearing simple helmets, and to be honest, he couldn't see their expressions clearly.
So he made a "surfacing" gesture like diving to Su Chen, and Su Chen replied with an "ok".
Su Yue and Su Chen kept a small distance from each other, swimming upstream while vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.
In addition to the black ribbon-like monsters that were approaching them quickly, he soon discovered that there were many other things sinking at the bottom of the water.
A carousel with incorrect painting, a roller coaster head with a missing corner, plastic ball decorations, fluorescent decorative signs... these things are piled up at the bottom of the water. When you shine a flashlight over them, the colors are still very bright, making the bottom of the water look like a cemetery in a fairy tale world.
Those strange black streamers did not attack them, but just followed them on patrol. However, Su Yue was very sure that they would attack sooner or later, it was just that the time had not come yet.
These things look like black hairtail fish, but their bodies are covered with a layer of scales. They carry a deadly and decaying aura, swirling around people like shadows, just like the black mist on the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Since they are not attacking Su Yue now, he will just pretend that they don't exist. He continued to float up. The water here is deeper than when looking down from above, but it may not be in the same water body at all, so it doesn't matter. But looking up, he can vaguely see the light coming through the water surface, which means that the water is not too deep.
When the remaining air in the simple scuba tank was about half used up, Su Yue suddenly felt that the black ribbons around him became inexplicably manic.
He has always been very sensitive to such dangerous signals. He paddled hard and floated to the side for a distance, both to make himself understand the current situation and to test it.
Just as Su Yue had predicted, as his body drifted to the side, the black streamers followed him, clearly targeting him. As Su Yue drifted away, an intuition, perhaps the deep impression left by the underwater graveyard, made him look underwater again.
He saw a heart-shaped, pink, glowing sheet at the bottom of the water.
It was inconspicuously piled among the waste and looked only the size of a palm. If it were not glowing, it would not be seen at all, but this thing should be the source of the crazy black ribbons.
Su Yue pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea. He quickly gestured towards Su Chen, indicating that he was going to swim downstream.
Su Chen was obviously confused. He was stunned for a long time before replying with a question mark.
Su Yue made another gesture, meaning that he would go down and Su Chen would go up.
Su Chen hovered in the water, looking at the streamers that followed Su Yue like a cold wind. Wrapped in those streamers, Su Yue looked really too small. Even though he knew that he was a top player who was almost omnipotent, Su Chen had no way of feeling at ease in such a scene.
But she promised Su Yue.
So after struggling in his heart for less than ten seconds, Su Chen made an "OK" gesture to Su Yue. Su Yue also made an "OK" gesture with a sense of relief, turned around and began to swim downwards.
Only then did Su Chen realize that he was swimming very fast, much faster than when he was leading himself.
She didn't dare to delay any longer and began to swim upstream. After swimming for a while, when she was almost reaching the surface of the water, Su Chen looked down again. This look made her heart rise.
Large clumps of black ribbons were tangled together, and Su Yue's figure was almost completely invisible.
What made her even more horrified was that the water ghost in the car had also swam out.
The water ghost was a white shadow, and was very clear among the black ribbons. Moreover, there were not just one but two water ghosts, carrying a faint and terrifying aura, heading towards the center of the black ribbons, where Su Yue was.
.
Even though these water ghosts and streamers were not targeting Su Chen, she shivered violently as she floated in the cold water. She wanted to loudly remind Su Yue to be careful, but she could not make any sound underwater.
She was struggling over whether to go over and help, but then she thought again of what Su Yue said, "Don't worry about me, just swim upstream."
After struggling in his heart for a long time, Su Chen still listened to Su Yue's words. He gritted his teeth and stopped looking at Su Yue. He took all his strength and swam upstream.
After just a few more strokes, Su Chen rushed out of the water with a "splash". The moment she broke out of the water, she could see the blue sky through her foggy goggles, and she had a clear feeling that the whole world was different.
Then someone grabbed her arm. Just as Su Chen was about to struggle, she heard Zhao Shuo ask in surprise, "What is that thing on your head?"
Su Chen: “…”
——
Half a minute later, Su Chen took off his helmet and sat on the pedal of the Ferris wheel car, panting. Miraculously, the Heartbeat Ferris Wheel had stopped running, and car No. 12, which was the car that Zhao Shuo, Cang Zhi and others were in, was parked at the place closest to the water surface.
As Su Chen came out, he happened to run into them.
The weather outside was sunny, and the sunlight shining on the water made the waves sparkle with lovely ripples. It seemed like a completely different world from the underwater world.
Su Chen's mind was a little confused. Excessive shock and lack of oxygen made it difficult for her to think. Now she began to feel cold, so Zhao Shuo took off his work jacket and put it on her.
"Where is Su Yue?" Cang Zhi asked.
"Still... down there." Su Chen's lips trembled from the cold. "He said he wanted to get something, but he was entangled by a water monster and it's dangerous."
Her mind was a little blank just now, and when she said this, she suddenly realized that Cang Zhi could also help. She immediately looked at Cang Zhi eagerly and said, "Can you go and save him? He is in danger."
Cang Zhi didn't say anything, and just turned over and jumped into the water. But before Su Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, Cang Zhi had already emerged from the water again, "No, we can't get to him."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. She hurriedly said, "There's nothing you can't reach. Just jump down and you'll get there, right?"
As she said that, she jumped in again. As soon as she entered the water, she understood what Cangzhi meant.
Jumping in from here, the water surface was clear and clean, even the water temperature was warm. The sunlight shone through the water, just like a glass-transparent swimming pool, not the lake where they had just struggled to survive.
Su Chen climbed out again with a pale face. Zhao Shuo shook his head and sighed as he put his coat on her again. Cang Zhi said, "This must be some kind of illusion. The entrance is one-way. Only he can come out from inside. We can't go in."
Hearing him say this, Su Chen felt even more upset, because she had essentially left Su Yue there alone. She lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Brother Cang."
"No need." Cang Zhi said, "You can't help if you stay there."
Su Chen: “…”
There's really no need to be so blunt with either of you, okay?
They were waiting here, seemingly very quiet, but Su Chen could tell that Cang Zhi was still anxious. Although Cang Zhi didn't say anything, his fingers were unconsciously exerting force, and it felt like if he used a little more force the door frame would be deformed.
.
"Wait two more minutes and I'll go down to find him." Cang Zhi suddenly said.
"Brother, didn't you say you couldn't go down?" Zhao Shuo asked doubtfully.
"There's always a way to get down." Cang Zhi said, "At worst, I can go back and be punished."
“Ah…?” Zhao Shuo looked confused.
Cang Zhi ignored him and stood up. Su Chen and Zhao Shuo both keenly felt that there seemed to be a subtle change in this man's aura.
Before they could figure out what the change was, suddenly, a huge splash appeared on the calm water surface, and the splashing water hit Zhao Shuo and Su Chen's heads and faces.
Su Yue emerged lightly from the splashes of water. Compared to Su Chen's embarrassment, he was not only decent but even seemed a little handsome. His goggles were pushed up to his forehead and he was not wearing a helmet. Between his upper and lower lips was a fluorescent heart-shaped thin slice, and in his hand he was holding a huge black strange ribbon like a nunchaku.
The thing now had completely lost its sinister aura, and in Su Yue's hand it looked like a dried hairtail.
Su Chen:!!!
Su Yue extended his left hand, and Cang Zhi joined hands in perfect harmony to pull him up.
Su Yue tilted his head, placed the heart-shaped slice in his mouth into Cang Zhi's hand, and casually patted the dried hairtail in his hand. He sighed in a seemingly distressed but actually very pretentiously:
"Could you give me a cooler weapon next time?"
