Chapter 71 Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (VIII)
My cousin shook his head, frowning. "These characters are too ancient. I only have a superficial understanding of them and cannot fully decipher them. However..."
He paused and pointed to a recurring pattern on the box. "I seem to have seen this symbol in some document. It seems to be related to some kind of energy."
Energy? The strange suction force I felt when I traveled through time suddenly flashed through my mind. Could it be that... I stood up suddenly, and an unprecedented enlightenment surged into my heart.
"You mean, I traveled to this world because of the influence of some kind of energy?"
My cousin's eyes flashed with admiration. "It's very likely! The Atlantis civilization is famous for its control over energy. Legend has it that they can even use energy to open the door of time and space."
The gate of time and space... My breathing became rapid. If the gate of time and space really existed, could I use it to return to my original world? I studied the pattern on the box over and over again, trying to find a clue.
Day after day, I immersed myself in the study of Atlantis civilization. I learned their language, understood their history, and explored their understanding of energy in the hope of finding a way home.
Gradually, I began to understand the principles behind time travel. According to my research, the Atlanteans used a special crystal to store and manipulate energy. This crystal is called the "Key of Time and Space."
On the day I traveled through time, I triggered the energy contained in the "Key of Time and Space", which caused me to be drawn into the chaos of time and space, and I came to this world, which also affected this world because I did not belong here, so my body was resurrected.
What surprised me even more was that I found that I could actually sense the weak energy fluctuations around me. I tried to communicate with these energies and guide them to flow according to my will. Although the process was extremely difficult, I could feel that I was slowly approaching the truth.
"Zi'ang, you haven't slept for several days. Take a rest."
My sister looked at me worriedly, her eyes full of heartache.
I shook my head, my eyes determined, "I feel like I'm almost there. I must find a way to get to Atlantis!"
I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and focused all my attention on sensing the energy. This time, I felt an unprecedentedly strong energy, as if it was within my reach, calling me to get closer... I felt like I was floating in the boundless universe, surrounded by twinkling stars and flowing nebulae.
I stretched out my hand hard, wanting to catch that familiar light, but it slipped through my fingers again and again.
"Zi'ang, Zi'ang!" My sister's voice pulled me back from the chaos. I opened my eyes and saw her worried eyes and my cousin's encouraging eyes.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" asked my cousin, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
I shook my head and leaned back in my chair tiredly. "It still doesn't work. I feel like I'm about to touch that barrier, but it's always just a little bit short."
"Don't be discouraged, Ziang, you have done a good job."
My sister held my hand and gave me strength, "We will all help you."
I looked at them and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. They have been with me and supported me all this time. My sister's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and my cousin's erudition and wisdom have given me great comfort and encouragement.
I was once confused and despairing, but their existence gave me hope.
"Thank you, sister, cousin." I said sincerely, "I really don't know what I would do without you."
"We are family, why are you talking nonsense?" said my sister with a smile.
My cousin also nodded and said, "Yes, we are a family and we have to face difficulties together."
I took a deep breath and pulled myself together. The efforts I made during this period not only improved my knowledge, but also made me more determined. I will no longer escape or feel lost. I will bravely face all challenges, find the Lord of the Sea, and find the way to pass.
I began to practice more attentively and learn how to control energy. I found that as long as I focused, I could feel the energy fluctuations around me and even guide them to flow according to my will.
Although this process is very energy-consuming, I enjoy it. I am like an explorer, exploring unknown areas, and every bit of progress makes me excited.
"Zi'ang, you're making great progress!" One day, Lin Xiao looked at me in amazement as he watched me control the water flow to change its shape in the air, his eyes full of admiration.
I smiled and continued to practice. I felt as if a dormant power in my body was slowly awakening. This power made me feel at ease and full of confidence in the future.
However, just as I was preparing to further explore my own power, a sudden crisis interrupted my plan. That day, I was studying the literature of Atlantis in my room, and suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, followed by my sister's panicked voice: "Zi'ang, it's bad, my cousin..."
My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling came over me. I immediately rushed out the door, grabbed my sister's shoulders, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my cousin? What happened?"
My sister's face was filled with panic, and her speech became incoherent: "Zhang Yu...he...they were in the laboratory...someone attacked..."
I tried to calm myself down, held Lin Xiao's hand, and said in a calm tone, "Sister, don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What happened?"
Taking a deep breath, the elder sister continued, "Today my cousin was doing an experiment in the laboratory, researching a new energy conversion device. I was helping him record the data when suddenly a group of mermaids in black rushed in, holding weapons in their hands, and started attacking without saying a word.
I…I was so scared that I hid myself. After those people left, I…I dared to come out and found Zhang Yu…"
When she said this, my sister's voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes.
My heart sank suddenly, and an unprecedented fear came over me. I clenched my fists tightly, trying to control myself and not show any panic.
"Sister, don't be afraid. I'll go find him right away. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
I forced myself to calm down and make a quick judgment. The most important thing now is to find my cousin. The attackers were clearly well prepared and my cousin might have been captured by them.
I turned and rushed out of the room, thinking quickly about countermeasures. My cousin has a deep understanding of energy research, and his research results in this field may have attracted the covetousness of some people. Those attackers may have come for his research results.
I ran all the way, feeling extremely anxious. The training during this period of time has given me a deeper understanding of my own strength. I can clearly feel that there is a powerful force hidden in my body. If I can fully control this power, maybe I can save my cousin.
As I ran, I tried to mobilize the energy in my body. I closed my eyes, concentrated, and felt the energy fluctuations around me. Gradually, I felt a strong force surging from deep inside my body. This force was warm and powerful.
I opened my eyes, and a determined light flashed in them. I must rescue my cousin, no matter what the cost!
At this moment, I saw a familiar figure in front of me. It was Lord Poseidon! Why was he here? Did he know about my cousin?
I immediately quickened my pace and ran towards Lord Poseidon, hoping to get some clues from him.
"Lord Poseidon!" I shouted loudly.
Lord Poseidon heard my voice and turned around. When he saw me, he was surprised. "Zi'ang? Why are you here? What happened?"
I didn't have time to explain too much, and said anxiously, "My cousin got into trouble. He was taken away! Do you know who did it?"
The handsome face of Lord Poseidon suddenly became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Follow me!"
After saying that, he turned and walked forward. I followed him closely, my heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Lord Poseidon, can he help me rescue my cousin?
