The rope descended a hundred meters and paused.
A whistle sounded from below.
The rope descended five hundred meters and stopped again.
The whistle sounded unclear, as if it was blocked by some substance.
The rope slid down one thousand meters and paused.
I could only vaguely hear a whistle, maybe it sounded, maybe it didn't.
In the pit, all electronic equipment will malfunction, and we can only use this ancient method to verify little by little that there is no abnormality in the area below.
Everyone around was quietly waiting for the whistle to blow, and someone was recording.
By the time even the machines on the ground could no longer detect the whistle, Xie Jue had already gone three thousand meters deep.
There was no more sound after that.
A large bundle of safety ropes had been used up, the ropes were stretched straight, and there was no signal from Xie Jue to pull the ropes to come up.
Everyone waited quietly.
Half an hour passed.
Li Tianxiang walked back and forth beside the sinkhole, looked at the time, and couldn't help but stick his head out to look down into the pit.
It was all white, so naturally, you couldn't see anything.
"Hey - thank you -"
He picked up the trumpet, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly to the people below:
"Can you hear me—"
There was no movement of the safety rope.
A snow-white ball of fur screamed and rushed out of the pit, but was easily frozen by Li Tianxiang. The frost turned into ice needles along the fur, and the soft ball of fur seemed to have exploded with thorns.
This allowed many people who were too weak to see the ball of hair to see its general appearance based on the outline of the ice and snow.
Li Tianxiang frowned, squatted down and stared at the pit for a few minutes, and finally couldn't help reaching for the safety rope.
Pull gently, tentatively.
The safety rope was light and fluttered, and it moved easily along with his strength, leaving only the weight of the rope.
What about Xie Jue?
With his eyes slightly fixed, Li Tianxiang took a step back and quickly ordered: "No, pull up the rope!"
The machine slowly retracts the safety rope.
At the other end of the rope, Xie Jue, who was supposed to be protected in it, disappeared, but the safety buckle was fastened properly, as if Xie Jue suddenly shrank and slipped out from the loose rope.
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Tianxiang's brows were furrowed so much that he could pinch a mosquito.
"Is there anything wrong with the rope?"
"It has been very stable, with no unusual movements..."
"We should have pulled him up directly just now." Yu Biao, deputy captain of Team 1, said dissatisfiedly.
Due to the shortage of manpower, the punishment for his reckless use of abilities and fighting will be delayed, and he is still serving as the deputy captain.
"Do you know what's going on down there? Just pull the person back when the rope reaches the end. Do you think it's a sandbag? That's too simple."
Wen Jin retorted to him, and before he could get angry and refute, she changed the subject.
"Xie Jue was very strong, but he disappeared suddenly without any warning. There was no trace left on the rope, and the safety buckle was intact. He must have encountered an emergency and had no time to react."
"Tsk, what you said is all nonsense..."
Yu Biao grumbled in dissatisfaction, but gradually died down under Li Tianxiang's ferocious stare.
"We don't know Xie Jue's current situation here, so I want to go down and take a look."
Wen Jin expressed her intention, and Li Tianxiang was about to stop her, but the former waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I am different from Xie Jue. He has strong fists, but I can fly."
He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and the stubble that had grown from not shaving overnight was more obvious on his face.
"I value my life very much. If there is any danger, I will fly up immediately."
It can't be said that he is flying, it can only be considered as floating in the air, after all, his ability is wind.
…
Wen Jin equipped herself with a safety rope and slowly descended into the sinkhole.
Luo Zheyu followed quietly.
He tried his best to use his soul power to drag himself, grabbed the rope two meters above Wen Jin's head, and fell down.
Because the soul force was holding up most of the weight, only a part of it was on the rope. The person in charge of the machine just thought that Wen Jin had gained some weight and was overweight, so he didn't suspect anything. Some people looked thin on the surface, but they were actually wearing high-strength body-shaping underwear, which was extremely heavy.
The space inside the crack was just like what we saw outside, all white, with nothing else.
There were no visible barriers on the left and right, and no bottom below. Only a vague difference could be seen above the head, and that was the color of the sky above the ground.
The deeper we climb, the more we will go down, until we can no longer see the difference.
It was difficult to feel whether the rope was still moving downwards, as there were no reference points and no wind.
It was just a vast expanse of emptiness and whiteness.
Wen Jin closed her eyes, shook her head, opened her eyes and looked at her clothes.
Ink black clothing.
Only in this way can the intense discomfort be temporarily eliminated.
Be a drop of thick ink and keep yourself in the pure white.
When a person is in a completely dark environment, when he opens his eyes, the darkness is boundless, and when he closes his eyes, it is just as dark. It is as if the eyes are ineffective and he can hardly feel whether his eyes are open or closed.
Only now, this black has turned white.
But he needs to observe his surroundings and not always stare at the color on his body that is different from the colors around him.
Wen Jin took a moment to adjust, then raised her head again, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
No differences found.
Gradually, I became mesmerized by the sight.
His eyes lost focus and his eyelids drooped slowly.
exhausted.
I'm so sleepy.
It's comfortable to close your eyes.
Get some sleep...
I felt sleepy and even my head felt numb. My whole body seemed to be surrounded by warm water, massaging gently, and every nerve felt extremely comfortable.
Sleeping is the most important thing in life, and it is the only thing that should not be wasted in this life.
Before her eyes were completely closed, Wen Jin began to snore softly and fell into a soft sleep.
"Hey, uncle!"
He dreamed that Zheyu returned to his childhood, a tiny, delicate and delicate child with a serious expression on his face, his light pink lips slightly pursed, looking like a little adult.
He stretched out his two little arms, called himself uncle, and made it clear that he wanted to be held.
After being picked up, Xiao Zheyu pursed his lips and smiled obediently, kissed his cheek, and then leaned close to his ear, as if he had some good news to tell him. Wen Jin was very happy, but he heard Xiao Zheyu whisper:
"Uncle, grandma found twenty blind dates for you."
What!
Twenty blind date candidates!
Wen Jin felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She shivered all over and suddenly woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a fair face hanging upside down in front of me. I didn't notice anything else but those sharp eyes that pierced straight into my heart.
Wen Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The face took the initiative to distance itself, with its sharp eyebrows slightly curved.
"Uncle, you're awake."
Wen Jin: ...
He pinched his thigh hard.
“Uh ah—”
The pain made him gasp.
It seems that I am completely awake and not dreaming.
So the question is, why is Zheyu here!
"W-Why are you here!?"
"This is a long story..." Luo Zheyu originally had his legs hooked on the rope, hanging upside down on it. Now, while speaking, he turned over and stood up, holding the rope with one hand, facing Wen Jin.
Wen Jin hurriedly grabbed him, fearing that he would lose his grip and fall.
It's all white here, and you won't find a place to stand if you fall down.
"Then keep it short."
After making sure she had a firm grip, Wen Jin urged.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, look over there—" Luo Zheyu pointed diagonally downward.
Wen Jin looked in the direction he pointed.
It was as if a hole was poked in a piece of pure white paper, and through the hole, one could vaguely see the scenery below.
Large areas of blue and a little green.
The blue is the sky, clear and blue.
The grass is green, lush and fresh.
Wen Jin was shocked. If it was just a deep pit with a range of several thousand meters, it could be classified as a tiankeng. But what if there was another world underneath, with blue sky and earth?
"Uncle, did you find out?"
Luo Zheyu said softly.
"What?" Wen Jin was puzzled.
Luo Zheyu smiled and stared at Wen Jin, then stretched out his two hands with his long and powerful fingers spread out.
"Look, I have ten fingers."
Wen Jin: ???
"What the hell..." He frowned and said speechlessly.
Suddenly his eyes widened: "Wait!"
He looked up above his head and saw that Luo Zheyu had already let go of the rope.
"Hey, stop messing around, pull it out quickly, don't fall down!"
"The rope has long exceeded its limit." Luo Zheyu disagreed and instead pointed out other problems.
"But we are still descending now, the rope ..."
Luo Zheyu took a step back, stepped into the white void, and pulled Wen Jin's hand, exerting a little force.
The safety rope detached from Wen Jin's body.
No, to be precise, Wen Jin broke free from the safety rope, and the safety rope remained in place, like a straight and unbreakable steel bar, without any turbulence.
Then, in the eyes of the two people, the safety rope that was very close just now quickly moved away, as if it was rising, and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Wen Jin reacted immediately, pulled Luo Zheyu tight, mobilized her wind power, and pushed the two of them upwards.
The strong wind made the clothes rustle and the hair fly.
Luo Zheyu patted his shoulder and pointed downwards.
Wen Jin was puzzled and looked down again.
But he was horrified.
The blue sky and grassland that they could vaguely see just now are now right before their eyes and extremely clear.
It seemed as if the two of them were about to fall into it in the next moment.
He flew upwards and should have been getting closer and closer to the ground, but unexpectedly, he did not see the ground, and the mystery below was getting closer and closer to them.
Could it be that it moves?
Thinking of this possibility, Wen Jin immediately regarded it as a monster, and used all her strength to control the wind, pulling Luo Zheyu towards the ground.
The front was still pure white, and the ground seemed very far away.
The blue sky and white clouds in the broken hole behind me were getting closer and closer...
Beads of sweat oozed from Wen Jin's forehead.
His lips were pursed until they turned pale.
"Don't worry, uncle."
Luo Zheyu said behind him.
"The safety rope disappeared when you fell asleep. We can't go back for now, so why don't we go down and take a look first."
"No, we must go up, this place is too weird!"
"But……"
"No buts!"
The next second, a huge suction force came from the broken hole, instantly sucking the two people in.
…
"That's what I want to say..."
…
When Wen Jin woke up again, she saw a deep blue sky.
The water is crystal clear, the sky is blue, the colors are fresh, and the scenery is dreamy and beautiful. It is a scene that is very difficult to see in reality.
There is a faint smell of grass lingering at the tip of the nose, which is not unpleasant, but warm and refreshing.
His mind was a little confused and he stared at the blue sky in a daze.
A breeze blew, and every hair on the body swayed, as if it was being gently and carefully combed.
