"What's this?"
“It looks like a building?”
“Could it be the shadow of water plants?”
“Why do I feel so short?”
Everyone was discussing at once, mostly with questions, but no one around them could answer.
Philier's heart beat faster and faster. He took the camera from the black boy and replayed the video several times.
This time he set it to the slowest speed.
Everyone looked carefully and indeed saw some vague outlines.
Due to the darkness at the bottom of the lake and the fluctuations of the water flow, it seems a little shaky.
But what can be roughly seen is a part of a pointed triangle, with some smaller sharp tops vaguely visible around it.
"This isn't right... It's not a pyramid, and it's too short... Is it just a piece of stone?"
"Or maybe some kind of sculpture made from the craftsmanship of that time?"
Someone else added a not-so-good idea.
A girl thought for a long time and suddenly thought of something.
"Maybe the area under the water is a depression, and it's a very deep one. If we want to find out the real situation, we'd better go into the water and look for it there."
These words touched Philier's heart.
The moment he saw the video, the only thing he thought about was that he had to go down again.
"Yes, Lisa is right, we have to go down again, now!"
Immediately, Philier wanted to stand up and continue into the water.
He was immediately persuaded by a group of friends.
The visibility at the bottom of the reservoir is already poor, and it's already dark now. Plus, we've exhausted ourselves, so it's too dangerous to go down now.
Although I am unwilling, as my friends said, the underwater buildings will not run away, but I only have one life.
That night, everyone tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and they were all thinking about what was under the water to some extent.
Philier almost forced himself to fall asleep in the tent counting sheep.
The next day, everyone got up early.
Although not everyone may be as exaggerated as Philier, this group of people are all very enthusiastic, so everyone is eager to find out what is going on.
The oxygen tanks were filled and the five guys dived into the water fully dressed.
As it was difficult to determine the direction underwater, it took them half an hour to find the nearby waters yesterday evening.
There, there was an area that looked particularly dark, and it was obvious that the water there was deeper.
Maybe it’s due to the angle and light today, I still can’t see the outline that flashed briefly in the video when I got here.
But after they adjusted their breathing, they dived down without hesitation.
Even with a strong flashlight, the illumination distance here is obviously not very far.
Fishes swam, algae floated, and the turbid lake water was mixed with bubbles.
In this situation, everyone is basically half blind, and the timid ones may not dare to continue.
Philier, the leader, waved a piece of jewelry behind him and made a gesture with the flashlight.
Everyone understood what he meant and gathered the flashlights in their hands and shone them towards the distance.
The heart felt a brief pause.
Not far away from the tangled water plants, a building that is far larger than the other underwater houses can be vaguely seen.
Even though it is still blurry, you can vaguely make out the conspicuous spire, the small pavilions surrounding it, and the strong Gothic style.
A strong premonition emerged in everyone's heart.
That's what we're looking for!
The oxygen tank count showed that it was about half full, so there was no need to refill it. Everyone slowed down and swam forward.
The closer I get, the more I feel like I’m moving towards my goal.
Finally, they arrived in front of the building.
The algae and the stone walls full of history cannot conceal its profound temperament.
The original wooden door had long since decayed. The few people looked at the dark doorway and paused for only a few seconds before choosing to move forward.
Except for a small group of fish that were frightened and filed out from inside, the group did not encounter any accidents.
As soon as we entered the main hall, everyone almost shed tears.
On the wall facing them, a sign carved from raised bricks stood out even though it was stained green by algae and moss.
The dancing flames seemed to have been burning for thousands of years.
'It's exactly the same as on the map!'
A few people stared blankly, and then turned around and looked at the ceiling as if they were on pilgrimage, as if they were looking at the legendary figures who had come and gone here countless years ago.
…
On the shore, the companions who stayed in the camp were waiting anxiously.
More than forty minutes had passed since the men went down into the water. On the one hand, they were waiting for the results of the exploration, and on the other hand, the model they brought could only last for an hour at most, and it would be dangerous if they did not come back.
“Hua La La~” “Hua La La~”…
There were splashes on the water not far away.
The people on the shore were relieved; the divers had returned.
Philier blew out of the respirator and roared towards the shore excitedly.
"Found it~~~~~~~~We found it~~~~~~It's right down there!!!"
The people in the camp were stunned for two seconds, and then they hugged each other and cheered!
This was just a preliminary exploration. Due to oxygen issues, they were not allowed to go deeper, but fortunately it did not hinder everyone's high spirits.
The divers ate to restore their strength while watching the video with everyone around the burning campfire.
When the signs of the breaking of dawn were clearly seen in the video, the breathing around the camera became noticeably heavier.
They saw the encouragement and sparkle in each other's eyes.
Since the records on the map are true!
So!
Are some of the descriptions on the scroll, including those about Philier's grandfather, also...
The expedition team spent two days in this reservoir.
Although the interior of the underwater Dawn Secret House was complex, we were able to explore it thoroughly in two days.
Unfortunately, some of the places for storing books and materials are mostly empty. Not to mention materials, even the furniture, except for those made of stone, have long since rotted away and not even a trace of it is left.
The interior of the building was full of algae and fish nests, which made everyone feel a little disappointed.
But it's not all in vain.
Although the "lost power" that they most wanted to discover was not found, they discovered some on the floors and walls of some courtyards.
Those are murals.
Through analysis, it is believed that the pattern roughly records the legendary figures branded with the symbol of dawn, "driving away darkness" in various parts of the world.
I also learned a detail from the pattern.
One of the patterns shows a process in which a robed elder in the center holds a scepter and imprints the Seal of Dawn on a person whose hands are originally clean.
All of this was recorded in detail via video.
Philier could hardly help thinking about the unfinished words of his grandfather before he died.
He now completed it in front of his companions in front of the campfire on the eve of breaking camp.
"Perhaps the Scepter of Branding is still in the hands of Dawn, the real Dawn!"
This success boosted everyone's confidence, and they were motivated to continue searching for even more unreliable scrolls.
"Since the story of Dawn is true, then the danger in 'In the Dark' should not be false, right?"
Under the guidance of French romanticism, we have already had enough imagination about the thousands of years of history of Dawn.
This question suddenly raised by a female team member was the most famous scam of the century named after Shuguang and circulated among the members of the association. It was also one of the blueprints for the story designed by Qin Xiaoxia.
"From the information that Oriels and his team 'found' (hacked) last time, those government people probably still don't know what's going to happen, right?"
This sentence caused everyone to be silent for a moment.
They understood what she meant.
But in the end, should we give those people in the government a reminder?
Those who have already regarded themselves as "successors of Shuguang" were caught in a dilemma for a while.
