Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate to pull Yiyi and Lei Jijian down the road.
"Brother, this riverside hotel... is a little different from what I imagined."
Yi Yi also spoke softly, her eyes revealing a hint of disappointment, but how could I not know?
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed; it was just so different.
When I first heard about it from Wanjia, I thought it would at least be a bit cleaner, and Lao Liu had already told us that this place was newly moved here, so it should at least be some brand new buildings.
I never expected it to be so dilapidated; it's practically an unfinished building.
Everywhere you look, there are traces of the passage of time.
"Don't be angry. If it were in Asakura, an old neighborhood, and there were buildings like this, the older they were, the more reassuring they would be!"
Old Liu patted my shoulder and said softly.
"Does getting older bring more peace of mind?"
What does this mean?
I raised a slight question.
"Because all the newly built things don't know where they came from, or by what means or through what channels they entered the shallow layer."
Old Liu paused for a moment, then a rather mysterious expression appeared in his eyes.
"You should also know how outrageous the way you came in was, right?"
I thought about it for a moment, and it was true that when we first came into this shallow area, it was those two security guards who stopped me.
However, even though it showed an unauthorized person, the two security guards completely failed to fulfill their responsibilities by stopping us.
If we were on land, I estimate we would all be restricted from entering and leaving certain areas.
But here, instead of interfering, they simply let us in.
Thinking about this, I recalled the rather bizarre behavior of those two security guards from before.
Although they didn't look human, compared to the things we saw later, those two security guards were definitely relatively normal.
Besides that notice they mentioned reminding me to drink water regularly...
"Of course I know, it was quite an eye-opener when I came in."
I nodded.
Old Liu would always look at the building in the distance, lost in thought.
"Oh, by the way, you haven't replenished your water supply since you entered this shallow area, have you?"
As Old Liu spoke, he pointed to the green tube on his chest.
At that moment, I seemed to suddenly understand.
Does that mean that hydration is about replenishing that kind of green energy?
As a response to the body?
This method reminds me of the most basic need for breathing; if you don't drink water or eat for a long time on land, you naturally can't handle it.
However, in this shallow place, he considered replenishing water on time a necessity, and even posted it there like a notice.
This can't be something as important as eating or drinking water, can it?
Even though neither of us had these green conduits installed on us, nothing went wrong.
On the contrary, I don't think that the things they carry bring them much convenience.
In the beginning, Lao Liu must have spent time on land as well.
Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have had this kind of scene while driving, and I wouldn't have kept thinking about it.
They even brought taxi driving into the shallow waters.
Surely Old Liu can't have these green tubes stuck in his body when he's on land too.
Although he said he had been driving in shallow conditions for several years, I still don't understand why he would put this thing on himself like a shackle.
Isn't this just a complete burden?
"I didn't hydrate, but I don't feel like there's anything wrong with it. What does that determine?"
After we entered the shallow layer, we failed to do what we were reminded of, yet we are now safe and sound.
I countered by saying that I really felt that all of Lao Liu's things were just a burden.
At this moment, Lao Liu seemed to be looking at us with a very confident air, like the kind of look an elder would give us.
"You wouldn't understand... Heh, the posters at the security checkpoint, while somewhat exaggerated, should make you understand after a while."
In places like this, this is essential.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Liu pointed to the thread tube on his chest, and then symbolically moved it left and right, causing the threads on his chest and wrist to twitch twice.
It looks like blood vessels inside the human body that connect to the heart or other organs of the liver; it's a little creepy.
"Even if we really need it, we can do it later. This hotel alone is enough to keep us busy!"
I continued speaking, but Lao Liu seemed to be deep in thought.
“Yes, our deadline is too short. It says on that envelope that it’s tomorrow. If it’s any earlier, it won’t be enough!” Yiyi added.
Old Liu took out his pocket watch, which looked like a wristwatch without a dial, but the watch cord was missing.
He looked at it carefully; the thing, which resembled a pocket watch, was ticking away, but it didn't show a specific time.
This thing really stumped me.
Old Liu has already brought out several rather mysterious and unusual gadgets.
Isn't this thing not an appearance, but something like a timer?
"As you mentioned before, you have a deadline. With this document, he should be able to extend it a little. If you feel unwell, remember to take this out and check it regularly!"
Old Liu closed his eyes tightly, as if he had made up his mind about something.
If I'm not mistaken, these should be some of his personal treasures or something.
Although this Old Liu is just an ordinary driver, he has quite a few good things on him.
This is the first time I've ever seen a driver carry his own engine oil, ready to refuel at any time.
"Master Liu, you're too kind... You should keep this good stuff for yourself; we've already received a great favor from you!"
Yiyi spoke first, offering a polite refusal.
When I heard this, I was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on? Old Liu kindly handed the things to us, we should just grab them and accept them without hesitation. It would be too polite to refuse them here.
And we definitely need more protection at this time.
However, at this moment, the Thunder Strike Sword once again transmitted a voice in my mind: "Master, you don't need to say anything. People like this girl know much better than us."
Only something like the Dew-Gathering Branch could catch her eye, and it had to be a Dew-Gathering Branch from the Sea Heart with abundant energy.
Do you think she'd even look at something as small as a driver's pocket watch?
Lei Jijian's words touched me once again.
