Ai Yu frowned slightly, then summoned her two capable assistants, Clairvoyance and Superb Ear. With her eyes, she instructed them to explore the truth behind the strange melody and identify any anomalies.
Clairvoyance and Clairaudience nodded in understanding, then sprang into action, using the Water Pushing Technique to survey their surroundings.
After a moment, the two looked at each other and shook their heads at Ai Yu, indicating that they didn't find anything special.
Is that so...
It's not much different from what Eleven said.
The strange melody seemed to appear out of nowhere, lingering in the ears like a ghost, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
At this moment, Ai Yu suddenly noticed something strange. She seemed to no longer be able to smell a trace of oxygen at the tip of her nose. However, there was clearly still ample reserve in the oxygen tank. So why did she feel suffocated?
Then, the world before her gradually dimmed, and a pitch blackness enveloped her vision. At the same time, she felt her body grow heavier, as if weighed down by a thousand-pound burden, unable to move at all.
As the oxygen gradually disappeared, a feeling of despair inevitably surged into Ai Yu's heart like a tide.
My chest felt like it was being struck by a heavy stone hammer. Breathing became increasingly difficult, and my throat felt dry and burning. Despair spread within me, and scenes from the past kept flashing through my mind, like the hourglass of life seemed to be ticking away relentlessly.
The surrounding water became icy cold, as if sharp ice spikes pierced my skin, causing waves of stinging pain. The heavy water pressure was like an invisible hand, tightly strangling my throat, making breathing increasingly difficult.
The sea water tightly wraps the body like a thick cocoon, giving people a feeling of being bound and unable to escape.
Darkness gradually spread, as thick as ink, blending with despair, weaving into a huge net, as if dragging people into the bottomless abyss.
Ai Yu's limbs drooped limply, floating lifelessly in the water as she slowly sank. At the same time, she began counting in her mind.
The human brain is extremely sensitive to oxygen deprivation. If oxygen deprivation lasts for more than 4-5 minutes, it can cause irreversible brain damage or even death. However, professionally trained scuba divers can survive without oxygen for longer periods of time, up to around 10 minutes.
When Ai Yu counted to fifty-four, she suddenly felt her body suddenly lighten, and the suffocating feeling of lack of oxygen disappeared in an instant.
Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort, as if she was not in the bottomless ocean at this moment, but standing firmly on solid land.
Ai Yu twisted her neck with difficulty, her eyes slowly scanning her surroundings. This wasn't the ocean floor, but a strange space. She widened her eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness, but everything was still blurry.
Suddenly, a pair of huge eyes appeared right in front of Ai Yu.
They hang high not far ahead, as eye-catching as two bright moons.
The pupils of these eyes are white and star-shaped, giving off a mysterious and eerie aura, while the irises are a deep black, as if they can swallow all light. As for the whites of the eyes, they are a bright blood red, which makes people feel terrified.
Ai Yu was deeply shocked by those eyes, and her body trembled involuntarily. She wanted to look away, but those eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, firmly grasping her gaze, making it impossible for her to break free.
In this strange atmosphere, time seemed to stand still.
The melody sounded in Ai Yu's ears again, the voice was a little soft, like a lover's whisper.
The pair of eyes stared at Ai Yu for a while and then disappeared. The next moment, Ai Yu returned to the sea water. Noticing that there was not much oxygen left, Ai Yu had to swim upstream.
At this moment, Zhang Ji was pacing anxiously on the shore. When he saw Ai Yu safely ashore, his heart finally settled down. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My lord, I'm so glad you're safe. I've been unable to contact you for a while."
Ai Yu slowly took off his heavy diving gear, his gaze still fixed on the shimmering sea. He muttered to himself thoughtfully, "It looks like the target should be nearby, but where exactly is it? I still can't be sure..."
"By the way, my lord, your headset rang while you were diving." Zhang Ji didn't know much about these modern devices, so he didn't touch them.
Ai Yu wiped her hands with a towel, took the headset, turned on the hands-free mode, and called back: "Hello?"
"Ai Yu, where are you?"
Hearing Akasiliya's voice, Ai Yu frowned: "Sister? What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing serious. I just suddenly couldn't contact Ling Xiaoan, so I wanted to confirm your presence. Haven't you been close to Ling Xiaoan recently? Do you know where she is? After all, she is my archangel, so I'm still very worried."
Ai Yu paused for a moment, then replied: "Yes, I have indeed had more contact with Ling Xiaoan recently, but unfortunately, I don't know where she is at the moment. I'm really sorry." After that, the other party ended the call.
After the call was disconnected, Ai Yu's brows remained tightly furrowed, showing no sign of relaxation. She immediately called Hua Jianzui: "Sister Hua?"
"Yes, it's me, Ai Yu. What do you want from me?" Hua Jianzui asked.
"Sister Hua, do you know where Ling Xiaoan is now?"
