Chapter 398 Deep Diver
In the deep sea, undercurrents surge.
In the dead darkness, only the ticking sound of the instrument came from the headset, and the light above his head slowly swept around as his head swayed.
It can only shed a fleeting gray.
Nothing can be seen.
In a daze, there seemed to be all kinds of strange illusions jumping out of the waves, but when they looked carefully, they disappeared without a trace. Only empty darkness remained.
The sinking continues.
It's like heading towards hell.
There was only heavy breathing inside the mask.
"On the 14th, report on the depth situation."
"The current depth is 7, the stabilization valve is operating well, everything is normal."
"Where are the coordinates?"
"There is no drift in coordinate positioning."
"Keep the speed. Next, you will meet up with No. 12 and coordinate with him to install the frame."
"clear."
"A short report will be made every minute. The command center will always pay attention to your mental state. Remember, never talk to anything that should not exist here. Do you understand?"
"clear."
No. 14 took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down, and then slowly moved closer to the rope and another bright light. The two figures collided in the deep sea, and then bounced to both sides.
The other side stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
"Are you from the legion? It's so rare..." A rather young-sounding voice came from the radio waves: "I thought the one who came to cooperate with me would be another scholar. What do you call it?"
"Tony." No. 14 said, "Just call me Tony."
"Okay, Tony, I'm..."
"Don't say your name." Tony interrupted: "Just give it any code name. This place is already under normal depth. Don't reveal any information about yourself here."
"...Uh, okay." The scholar opposite seemed to shrug through the diving suit: "Then just call me Mr. Serious, because I am very serious."
Damn, another idiot newcomer.
Tony rolled his eyes and pressed the strap around his waist. There was a pistol there.
After undergoing the transformation of alchemy, it can barely be used in such depth, but the range of use is actually not large. Generally, it is called the "Everyone's Happy Gun", which means that if the new person is about to stab or kill something, you should quickly seize the opportunity to make him happy.
In this way, everyone can continue to be happy after returning alive.
"Where is the thing?" he asked.
"Down below." Mr. Serious pointed to the rope hanging the two people and the heavy objects hanging under the rope.
"Don't be nervous." As if he thought Tony was scared, Mr. Serious said casually: "It's a very simple job, you are responsible for looking out, I will go down and press the start button and it will be done... I didn't know such a simple job Why does it have to be two people?”
Because if you die, I can take your place and continue, you idiot.
Tony sighed, switched the channel and asked the command directly: "Are you serious? Are you looking for this kind of idiot to work with me?"
"Conditions are limited. He has just become a scholar. You can take care of him." A soft female voice comforted: "Let him get used to this small task first."
"Seriously, Miss Ai, I was lying last time when I was drunk. Don't forget it."
"Huh? Did you say something?" The people in the command center asked in confusion: "You don't think I heard some bad rumors and deliberately gave you small shoes, do you?"
"..."
Tony didn't speak anymore, just held back a mouthful of old blood and sighed: "The situation report on the 14th is complete, Over."
"Wish you a safe journey."
Accompanied by what could be described as a gentle farewell, the command channel was disconnected.
Tony was put back into the original channel and had to continue to endure the noise harassment from Mr. Serious.
Damn it, brother, are you a chatterbox? Please stop talking about it, okay...
Fortunately, the landing has to end.
Through the helmet, a heavy muffled sound was heard from below.
Hit bottom.
Immediately afterwards, the huge cargo box fell apart, and the heavy steel plates scattered around, revealing the heavy instruments inside. Dazzling lights rose from it, illuminating the tragic scene around them.
It was the ruins of a city.
A city sunk under the sea.
It seemed that not long had passed, the colors on the billboards had not faded away, and abandoned cars were still littered on the streets.
Behind the broken windows of the supermarket, food sealed in packaging bags was floating in the water, suspended in the silent darkness.
"Is this Shicheng?"
Mr. Serious sighed and sighed: "It looks the same as the current situation. At least the modernization part is done well - when I was first recruited to join the advance team, I didn't know it had sunk. What news do you have over there? ?"
Of course there is, the mother-in-law exploded!
Tony took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to swear: Brother, I beg you, stop fucking sightseeing, turn on that machine quickly, and then we can leave in a hurry, okay?
As if he heard Tony's prayer, after a long time of fussing, Mr. Serious finally successfully started the instrument in the deep sea.
As the layers of green indicator lights lit up, the heavy steel column at the top of the machine slowly lifted up, and then as the earth shook, it was nailed deeply into the rock below.
After the fixation was completed, radar-like ripples burst out from it, spread out, catered to the shock waves coming from other directions, and began to rapidly transmit signals to the research ship above.
What follows is a long wait with no end in sight.
Out of boredom, I could only listen to the constant noise next to me.
He kind of wanted to smoke.
If you can't light a cigarette, you can light the one next to the noise source.
"On the 14th, report the situation. Your partner just said that you haven't spoken for a long time."
"Everything is normal. My teammates...well, they are a bit showy." He sighed: "What a sin. If I drink less alcohol, I won't be reduced to this level."
"There is a job for you." The command center said: "Next, we will conduct a source matter activation experiment on this part to trace the spiritual changes of Shicheng before it sank. Next, we will assign the spirit matter detector to You, it’s up to you to conduct active observation.”
"no problem."
He took a deep breath as a habit, and felt a chill on his forehead, as if something was pouring into his brain continuously, making his whole body tremble violently.
And when he opened his eyes, the pupils behind the mask burst out with a real light. As his pupils swayed, a blazing light suddenly appeared in the dark deep sea.
And under the active observation of that ray of light, the entire silent ruins of Stone City suddenly became turbulent. Countless scattered sources rose from it, outlining the final trajectory and outline.
The ghost of this city awakens, showing the last scene before its destruction.
Among the countless surging trajectories, three completely different outlines suddenly expanded rapidly, overlapping each other, directly covering the entire stone city.
A gasp of air came from the command center.
"What's going on?" Tony endured the severe pain in his forehead: "Is there any result?"
"have."
During the long period of sluggishness, the expression of the scholar who conducted the analysis twitched: "At least it proves that the sinking of Shicheng was definitely not an accident..."
“Please don’t beat around the bush and be simple and straightforward.”
"..."
After a brief silence, a voice sounded: "During the observation of the ectoplasm detector, we found the trace left by the leader of the Green Sun... It is the beacon-like outline in your observation, that is his soul The imprint left on the border.”
Tony was stunned for a long time: "You mean, this is caused by the crazy people at Green Day?"
"No……"
After a long silence, a sighing voice came from the other end: "Besides, did you see the layer of engravings that covered the entire city like a dark cloud?
If I remember correctly, it should be the unique trace of the element of destruction, the man in gray. "
"What the hell?"
Tony's voice involuntarily rose an octave, in disbelief: "Green Sun and Elements of Destruction colluded?"
"Actually...according to my guess, they should just be passing by."
In the command center, the scholar in charge of the analysis said in a hesitant voice: "The real cause of the destruction of Stone City should be the third trajectory... You should be able to observe it with the naked eye, right below you..."
Of course Tony could see it.
Those were the traces left by something incredibly huge as it passed by.
The mucus-like purple-red almost covered the entire earth, making everything squirm like internal organs, and the outlines as huge as mountains were engraved in the remains of the city. Even the depth of hell could not erase its former existence. Mark of.
Countless illusory sprouts grew out of the source material, waving around randomly and almost grazing his mask.
He staggered back a few steps and almost fell into the deep sea.
"You're fucking kidding me..."
Tony no longer knew whether he was still conscious or whether he had been captured by hallucinations.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
What exactly is this?
Nightmare?
“That’s what really destroyed the Stone City framework.”
On the radio, the voice trembled slightly: "That thing is too huge. When it doesn't deliberately restrain its power, even if it just passes by, it is enough to completely distort the frame of Shicheng... Such a deep outline should at least be A ruler-level leader of a large group is correct, but precisely because of this, it is even more difficult to understand.”
"What can't you understand?" Tony asked angrily: "Can't you understand why it went out to eat on its own but didn't choose to order takeout?"
"No, Tony, it's more dramatic than that."
After the person in the channel was silent for a long time, he whispered to him: "It went out not to eat, but to escape. It was injured. It should be said that it was 'dying'. It was simply... dying..."
In the dead silence, no one spoke.
Only Tony felt the buzzing in his head. As if laughing in sharp mockery, he shouted loudly in his ears:
"Stupid, stupid, stupid..."
He always thought he had found a problem, but he didn't, but now he knew that there was finally a problem.
But he couldn't stand it very well.
What forced a 'ruler' who could destroy Stone City just by passing by to this situation?
Just think about it with your heels.
——Something big fucking happened! ! !
After two updates, I have cut at least 6,000 words... It’s so hard for me ORZ
