Chapter 517: Iceland Shock (51)
In fact, when Bing asked him to find his relatives, An Xuefeng's first reaction was that he was testing. After getting some information from Yu Hehui, he launched a test on him. An Xuefeng did not remember that when he was investigating the disappearance of Yu Hehui, there was a policeman named "Wei Xun" or a private detective and other social figures who were simultaneously investigating. Yu Hehui said to Bingyi, "Wei Xun is very good at finding people." What is the hidden meaning?
Could it be the secret code for a joint within the organization? Are they already suspicious of him?
It is extraordinary and unbelievable for an outsider's soul to enter another person's body and control his body, but I have seen it many times during this trip to Iceland, and it seems that it is not impossible for the soul to leave the body and the soul to enter the body.
Thinking of this, An Xuefeng even felt the hairs on his back stand up. Did the Bingyi group already know that he was leading a team to investigate this matter, and that his soul left the body and entered Wei Xun's body. Were they plotting from it? Are Bingyi and Yu Hehui talking to Wei Xun or An Xuefeng?
"Wei Xun, we're going into the water soon, are you nervous?"
Miranda and others nearby accidentally glanced at Wei Xun while chatting, and were frightened by his plummeting SAN value. Miranda spoke quickly, attracting Wei Xun's attention, and in a hurry, she wisely mentioned Yu Xiangyang:
"I heard that Yu Xiangyang passed the midday assessment with your help? How did you do it?"
"Yu Xiangyang?"
Sure enough, Wei Xun calmed down easily, as long as he stopped thinking and interrupted him at all times. But how can you keep following him and interrupting at any time? Miranda was really worried about losing her hair - but she wasn't that worried. Haha, anyway, Wei Xun and Yu Xiangyang all recovered their memories yesterday, aren't they all still alive? It's going to rain. My mother is going to get married. There are some things that can't be stopped.
The death of other team members was none of their business. Thinking of this, Miranda felt as if her state of mind had leapt to another level, with a sense of transcendent relief. Miranda found that she could look at Wei Xun with a more peaceful attitude, and she also Curious indeed.
"Yes, I heard that he passed the test in half an hour?"
The diving instructor at the visitor center took them through the ‘open water diver qualification examination’, which was of course not serious. A serious diver qualification examination will include a written test, a confined water diving test (swimming pool) and four open water dives and other related assessments. However, they only have one assessment, which is to dive into the Silfra Fissure at a depth of 18 meters. According to The diving instructor directs you to make various complicated movements, and then you successfully return to the surface, which is considered a success.
"The assessment is actually very simple."
An Xuefeng, whose thoughts were interrupted, said perfunctorily: "Xiang Yang just hasn't mastered the power of his awakening yet."
After having a heart-to-heart with Yu Xiangyang, An Xuefeng discovered that the main reason for his sinking was psychological problems. He seems to have an innate resistance and aversion to water, which makes Yu Xiangyang unconsciously use extraordinary power after entering the water. The power he awakens is similar to a copper head and an iron arm, which can make the body become Extremely hard and invulnerable to damage. But at the same time, his body will become extremely heavy, and he can't even carry a dry suit and swimming ring.
It can be said that except for this strange worm, Corn Bamboo Shoots, no one can fish Yu Xiangyang out of the water.
But if he can overcome his resistance to water and dive like a normal person without using supernatural powers, then that's fine. Yu Xiangyang also admitted that eighteen meters deep is actually nothing. This is actually not difficult. Compared with falling into the vast ocean when going out to watch whales, a diving depth of 18 meters is nothing. The diving instructor has also emphasized several times that the maximum diving depth cannot exceed 18 meters.
"This water is just too clean."
Yu Xiangyang told Wei Xun frankly: "It's like walking on a glass bridge. It makes people feel nervous when their feet don't touch the ground."
Silfra is known as the clearest water on earth. The underwater visibility can reach an astonishing 150 meters. The water is so transparent that it is like flying in the air. You can see clearly in all directions. People in such clear water will have a strange feeling. There is a feeling of weightlessness, and the use of a dry diving suit requires some skills. Therefore, it is logical that Yu Xiangyang would activate his extraordinary power when he was unbalanced and panicked during diving, causing him to fall.
The key is that Yu Xiangyang fell too deep, so deep that it was beyond the range of underwater visibility and so deep that other divers could not find him.
There are four main parts of Silfra Crack: Silfra Hall, Silfra Cathedral, Silfra Lagoon and Big Crack. Their main diving areas are Here in the Great Crack, the 120-meter-long Great Crack is the narrowest point. The rock formations of the North American and Eurasian continental plates on the left and right sides are almost within reach. The front part of the Great Crack is only half a meter, and the deepest part is only half a meter. Forty-two meters*
But from the time when Yu Xiangyang was salvaged, judging from the algae on his body, he had strayed away from the large crack and sunk into a deeper cave crevice! Miranda and the others had never seen the algae on Yu Xiangyang's body when they took the qualification test. The diving instructor also said that algae would only grow in the water in the Silfra Crack in summer.
But now it is October, and there is no algae at all in the places they saw during their diving assessment.
"The water in the big crack is melted water from the Grand Glacier. It has been filtered through layers of volcanic rocks and is very clean."
The diving instructor said: “In the winter months, it’s often windy, rainy and snowy here, and there’s not much sun, so algae can’t grow unless he goes very deep.
Speaking of this, the diving instructor fell silent. Even when Miranda and others asked, they didn't say anything, and seemed very afraid. No one knows how deep Yu Xiangyang sank, sixty meters, one hundred and fifty meters, or even deeper. What is there? What are those 'black elves' that old doctor Mark said? I'm afraid there are only corn shoots and weeds. Xun got it.
"Before entering the water, check whether your diving suits are properly worn and whether the air valves are leaking."
"Everyone, please show me your diving qualification certificate again. Remember, you need to work in pairs when entering the water."
B1 stood on the shore and emphasized the precautions loudly, holding a stack of cards in his hand, which was the card for their trip to Iceland. Two attractions, whale watching and Blue Lagoon Hot Spring, have already been stamped.
"Our attraction this time is deep in the Silfra Fissure. Legend has it that there are many volcanic rock caves or cracks in the Silfra Fissure, which are deep or shallow. You can hear strange crying sounds in some cave cracks, which are called The cry of Silver Lady (Silfra) is really a wonderful natural miracle, isn’t it?”
Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!
B1 loudly said: "Why did the Icelanders name the big crack Silfra? (Silver Girl in Icelandic). Our attraction this time needs to confirm the existence of the Silver Girl. The mission is completed if the girl's cry is recorded. Of course, if You have superb diving skills. You can dive deeper into the Silfra Fissure, and you may be able to take photos of the girl and find her belongings. If one of you can dive into the deepest D-shaped cave, you can even retrieve the girl's hair and body parts. , organs, minced meat! This is the best!”
Silver Lady?
The Devil Merchant's words caused fine goosebumps to appear on Miranda's spine. She felt that the clear water in front of her suddenly looked like the split belly of some monster, as if the black deep in the big crack were the eyes of an unknown and terrifying thing staring at them. The name "Silver Lady" is not scary, it is even beautiful, but when it comes to "girl's internal organs" and "girl's photo", it becomes extremely scary to think about it!
What is the guts of the big crack? What is the minced meat from the big crack? This kind of personification is simply a kind of mental pollution that travelers cannot even think about! Miranda even felt that even if there was a terrifying monster named Silver Lady in the Great Crack, it would be better than calling the Great Crack Silver Lady. Moreover, the Devil Merchant’s intention is clearly that the deeper he dives, the closer he gets to the source of Silver Lady’s pollution, and the more terrifying and terrifying he becomes.
This is most likely because the entire Silfra crack has been seriously contaminated, and the crack itself will give birth to a chaotic consciousness!
"We went into the water at two o'clock. The diving time is limited to one and a half hours, and the number of people is counted at 3:30. Because we have activities in the afternoon, and we have to take a shower and pack up after the dive, so we have to wait for everyone by the big crack at the latest. Yes, did you hear that? We are leaving by bus at half past four!"
B1 emphasized again: "We are not in the same group this time. If you are late and will make Director C and the others wait together, you must have a sense of time. I believe everyone can do it."
"Check again the underwater camera waterproof recorder and whether you have all your belongings? We are about to go into the water!"
"Director B, there is something that everyone is curious about."
Miranda quickly took advantage of the opportunity and asked, pretending to be curious: "Why do the Icelanders name the big crack Silver Lady? What's the story here?"
"Yes, there is no record of why the Icelanders named the large crack Silfra."
B1 encouraged. He didn't know when he had a notebook in his hand, and he wrote quickly without raising his head: "So we need to explore together."
To say this is to say nothing! Miranda was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She used the last moment to get out of the water and walked to the devil merchant. She looked over to see what he was doing, only to see that he was writing lyrics. The song was called "Sifra, the mysterious silver lady, I 's silver pony"
Miranda almost gasped for breath, the mask blocked her face, and the cashmere sweater she wore under the dry suit should have been warm and dry, but Miranda knew her hands and feet were cold.
Before they went into the water, they had not figured out why the big crack was called Silfra. There were no allusions to the various materials and books they prepared before setting off, and even the impromptu online search they just made while eating. It was as if someone had randomly chosen a name, and from then on the big crack was called Silver Lady.
Every name has a specific meaning. Why on earth is it called Silver Lady? Without a legend or a reason, travelers will have nowhere to start when investigating and will not be able to take targeted precautions!
"Miao Fangfei and the other two drowning pools are connected to a large crack. The silver girl may be the woman who drowned."
There were really no clues, so Miranda had to sum up the possible guesses she had thought possible at the last moment.
"It could also be Arctic char."
The two-meter-long Arctic char may undergo some mutations and may look like a silver lady from a distance. Moreover, the itinerary introduction says ‘What are the weeping salmon and the lake?’ It mentions the weeping salmon, which coincides with what the devil merchant said about the silver lady’s cry.
The five of them gathered together to communicate, and An Xuefeng, who was already in the water not far away, glanced at them. In fact, he still had a suspicion about the 'Silver Girl', that was the thing he got from Yu Xiangyang.
When he rescued Yu Xiangyang, Yu Xiangyang's dry suit looked fine, but when they arrived at the infirmary, Old Mark simply checked him but refused to help him take off his clothes. An Xuefeng still remembered that Old Mark refused to do it, and ordered him to help Yu Xiangyang take off his dry suit in the infirmary, but found that there was a layer of silver substance inside the diving suit, just like the scales of a hairtail.
These silver substances with a strong fishy smell spread rapidly after they touched his fingers. At this time, Old Mark took out a bone-cutting knife from his back and said that this person (Yu Xiangyang) was no longer saveable, and you were unfortunately contaminated. In order to save him, you have to cut off his hand.
Of course, An Xuefeng couldn't let Old Mark cut off his hand for no reason. Old Mark moved very quickly, but his conditioned reflex dodged faster. Old Mark's knife didn't cut him, but cut Yu Xiangyang's leg! He was so strong that he actually shook the bed where Yu Xiangyang was lying, cracking it and collapsing it, but what An Xuefeng and Old Mark couldn't believe was that Yu Xiangyang's leg was not broken!
Old Mark kept saying it was impossible, and rushed to pull off Yu Xiangyang's clothes, only to find that the silver substance did not invade his body, and all remained on the layer of clothes on the surface of his body. And An Xuefeng also found that the silver substance on his fingers did not spread anymore, but formed a ball on his fingers, which looked like a silver seed.
And the silver substance on Yu Xiangyang's body also condensed into a silver, seed-like ball. From then on, Old Mark's attitude towards them changed, but Old Mark was talking in a mysterious way, and refused to say the key points, so An Xuefeng had to guess. In fact, he wanted to know more, why did the silver substance not invade their bodies? Looking at Old Mark's expression, he seemed to think that they would be corroded and polluted by the silver substance.
If Yu Xiangyang's body was hard and the silver substance could not invade, then what was the reason for him? An Xuefeng didn't remember that he had awakened any extraordinary power of copper head and iron arm. Or is this the special feature of Wei Xun's body? An Xuefeng remembered that he would not feel pain.
But this silver sphere is definitely a strange item full of extraordinary energy. When carrying it, An Xuefeng found that he could sometimes see some extraordinary and strange pictures, such as lake water as clear as the sky, giant silver-white fish, and some terrifying existences beyond ordinary people's thinking and impossible to look at in the deeper part of the rift.
The price is that he began to become a little afraid of light, his skin always felt wrinkled, and he felt comfortable only when soaked in water. Obviously, although the silver substance did not corrode him, it still had some impact on him when he carried it with him.
But after eating the salmon flower given to him by Bingyi, this negative state was resolved. An Xuefeng even felt that this salmon flower was very compatible with him. Perhaps when he dived into the depths of the big rift, it would bring him some unexpected changes.
After B1 clearly said "Silver Girl" and personified it, An Xuefeng believed that this silver sphere brought from the depths of the big rift was the key to finding the silver girl.
Teach you how to set up the reading page, come and have a look!
But An Xuefeng didn't say anything. He was not a fool who would share information for free, especially to Miranda and others who had murderous tendencies and were in a group.
"Are you really not going to be in the same group with me?"
Yu Xiangyang argued: "Wei Xun, I will try not to drag you down."
He really wanted to be in the same group with Wei Xun, so he would feel safe. But unfortunately, B1 required two people to dive in a group, five people on Miranda's side, five people on their side, and one person had to team up with Miranda's people.
Miranda's group was very dangerous, and An Xuefeng wanted to keep an eye on them by himself.
However, Miranda didn't want to be in the same group with him!
"Director B, you want to go into the water too, right?"
Miranda asked. Are you kidding? Diving for your life with Wei Xun, whose SAN value is ridiculously low and who may recover his memory at any time? Yesterday, Wei Xun didn't kill anyone in public after recovering his memory, but today is not necessarily the case! The people on the way back are not good people. Even if Wei Xun is very smart and lucky, and is very likely to find the key to the silver girl, Miranda's reason can completely restrain her greed.
"Ah, I do want to go in the water."
"Then I'll be in the same group with you."
Miranda said sincerely, but was flatly rejected by B1: "I won't."
Are you kidding? Diving with someone who wants to kill him? B1 is not stupid!
"Aren't you ten tourists divided into five groups? I'm a tour guide. I don't need to dive that deep. I'm afraid I'll drag you down with me - do you really want to be in the same group with me?"
B1 said hypocritically, but frowned when he saw Wei Xun swimming over, and suddenly stopped talking. No way, Wei Xun is going to be in the same group with Miranda, she is a dangerous person! However, the next second, the thing that B1 was most worried about happened.
"I'll be in the same group with you."
Wei Xun actually took the initiative to speak up and wanted to be in the same group with Miranda! Seeing this, B1 hurriedly stopped him: "Or..."
"Have you all divided into groups?"
Just then, Bingyi's voice came from the shore. B1 and others looked up and were surprised to find that Bingyi was also wearing a full set of dry diving suits and was fully equipped.
"The tourists in my team have been fishing for an hour, but no one has taken the bait."
Bing Yi said as a matter of course: "I'm going to go down and take a look."
There is no one in his team who needs to retake the diving test like Yu Xiangyang. Fishing is a long-term job that tests patience, luck and skills. Miao Fangfei and the others also asked for an early start. So shortly after lunch, at 12:30, they all took the fishing rods distributed by the visitor center and folding chairs and went to the fishing spot on Lake Singvaldra.
Anyway, fishing here is charged by lifting the rod, not by time, and the staff didn't have any objections.
As a result, from 12:30 to now, for more than an hour, no one has caught a fish.
Miao Fangfei and the others planned to wait a little longer, or at least stagger the time with the deep-diving team of the Devil Merchant Team, so that the deep-diving team could go down first to find out what was going on, and then they would follow behind.
But Bingyi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go down with the deep diving team. The first mover eats meat, and the latter eats soup. No matter how much danger there is, he always wants to be a meat eater.
"Does Director C also go into the water? I am willing to team up with Director C!"
When they saw Bingyi coming to the shore, for some reason, the atmosphere among everyone quietly changed. Miranda and the three people who were originally the focus of the dispute suddenly froze, and it was Betty who was the first to express her stance!
"Hey baby, if you say yes - okay, I support you and Director B."
Roger, who was pushed away by Betty, was halfway through shouting, but was looked at by Betty's sharp eyes and changed his words angrily: "Come on, Miranda, let's work in pairs."
"No--"
Miranda also wants to work with Director C! But before the words of rejection were spoken, B1 happily interrupted: "Okay Miranda, that's great. You have company now. You can team up with Roger."
Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!
Oh, this damn tour guide!
Miranda was so angry that she wanted to refute, but she looked at Wei Xun and the Devil Merchant. She felt that she couldn't compare with them, so she simply changed her mind: "Okay, of course I can team up with Roger. But Betty, the tour guides are only supervising us." It’s just that you don’t participate in the attractions. If you and Director B are in a group, no one will feel comfortable..."
"Yes, that's right!"
B1 gave Miranda a rare look of approval and cut the knot with a quick knife. He said happily: "I will be in a group with Director C, but anything can happen during deep diving. It is better for the strong to lead the weak. In this way, Milan Da, you go with Betty, Wei Xun, you go with Roger.”
Miranda and Betty both wanted to cause trouble, so they were simply put into a group. Luo Jie looked stupid at first glance, and Wei Xun had no problem handling him. In fact, An Xuefeng originally wanted to be with Bingyi, but what he said before and his tentative language made An Xuefeng want to stay away for a while and think clearly before speaking. I have to admit, the B1 group is really good.
B1 also felt that his grouping was very essential. Only Roger was still shouting in shock: "Director B, you are mistaken, Wei Xun is not weak!"
Fool, of course Wei Xun is not weak!
"Okay, it's already two o'clock, let's get in the water."
Before entering the water, B1 repeatedly emphasized: "Any method to find evidence of the Silver Lady's existence is considered a success. Everyone, be careful. Our guides will not dive as deep as you."
"Oh Bingyi, my old friend, where are we going?"
After all the passengers dived in groups, B1 looked at Bingyi happily. He saw Bingyi's cloak floating in the water, as blue as if it was blending into the lake. It was so beautiful that countless thoughts came to his mind. inspiration. B1 looked at him with admiring eyes and handed the choice to Bingyi.
Oh, floating in water that is as blue as the sky, letting inspiration fly during such a dive, you can definitely create amazing masterpieces. He had a hunch, yes, it is absolutely amazing!
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
B1, who was immersed in inspiration, didn't care what Bingyi said, and nodded indulgently and dived with him.
However, as they dived deeper and deeper, B1 discovered that something was wrong. He gestured to Bing, and a green thread came over and wrapped around his wrist. They were able to communicate spiritually, oh, spiritual communication!
But this time B1 did not forget the key question. He asked doubtfully: "Bingyi, where are we going?"
"Of course it's the D-shaped cave."
Bingyi took it for granted and speeded up his dive happily: "Hurry, we don't have much time."
The smile on B1's face froze.
ah? What?
Did he hear it correctly?
Are they going to the deepest D-shaped cave? ?
"No, I think we should go directly to the D-shaped cave??"
B1 is incoherent. Isn't this bad? He thinks this is really not good!
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this road."
Bingyi consoled him and immediately released the corn shoots. Corn shoots are the worms that have entered the deepest cracks with Yu Xiangyang, so it's no mistake to have him lead the way.
This is not a matter of familiarity!
B1 screamed in his heart, but vaguely felt that this feeling of adventure with Bingyi was a bit familiar, as if they had been like this before.
It was this subtle sense of familiarity that caused B1 to lose the last chance to say no. The next second he heard Bingyi say in surprise:
"Look, what is that!"
Teach you how to set up a reading page, come and take a look!
