As Chuchu rubbed her waist and pushed the hair out of her face, she saw Black Glasses pull the statues head off. If she had been able to make a normal sound, she wouldve definitely scread.
But when she took a closer look, she found that Black Glasses had actually pulled off a mask. The statue turned out to be a very thin man who wasnt all that young. In addition to a lot of silver jewelry, he was wearing clothes and a mask that made him look like the statue. Black Glasses broke off the guns trigger, threw it aside, directly lifted the "statue" up, and dragged it all the way to the sorceress.
Chuchu went over while continuing to rub her waist and asked in sign language, "Why did you run into the minefield?"
"The minefield here may be fake," Black Glasses said.
"Why?"
"If theres a minefield, then why do you still need a guard? This is to deceive outsiders. There may actually be landmines nearby, but the number isnt as exaggerated as they say." Black Glasses took out two lollipops from his pocket and stuffed them directly into the two people's mouths.
Chuchu couldn't understand Black Glasses behavior at all. "Theres anesthetic in it, Black Glasses said. This teaches people not to eat things given by strangers. After that, he went into the temple and blew out all the candles as quickly as possible.
The whole temple instantly beca dark, leaving only the moonlight outside. Chuchu wanted to turn on her flashlight, but Black Glasses said from inside the temple, "I don't need any light." Chuchu didnt understand, but she already knew at this ti that Black Glasses wasnt an ordinary person. After thinking for a while, she put down the flashlight and waited at the door.
Soon, Black Glasses flashlight ca on. She didn't know what he had done inside, but when she took a look, she saw that the altar had been overturned. She ran in and ca up beside him, noticing that there was a hidden entrance below the altar. There was a simple stone staircase, which led all the way down.
"How did you find it?" She signed at him. His behavior just now didnt seem like he was looking for sothing.
"Won's thinking is really different from n's," Black Glasses said. Chuchu was so stunned that it took her a long ti to realize that Black Glasses had avoided answering her question. He continued, "If its a man, hell ask whats below."
Then, he took out his cell phone, made sure he had a signal, pulled up the WeChat app, and quickly typed sothing.
"What are you doing?"
"When you enter an unknown area, you need to write a suicide note." Black Glasses quickly sent the text and then looked at Chuchu, "You wait for here."
His eyes were locked on the black shadow behind Chuchu. At this ti, the shadow beca very large, almost like it was going to pounce.
"I wont," Chuchu signed. "I want to go down and have a look. I didn't expect to get the opportunity to enter the underground river."
"I broke in illegally. Anything you film will be condemned by humanitarians, Black Glasses said. "You wont win a prize."
"You and I are not in the sa group. I was rely passing by. Chuchu went directly into the passage and turned on her flashlight.
Black Glasses shook his head, there's sothing wrong with this girls character. He followed her in and saw her start signing in the flashlights glow: "Hey, have I seen you before?"
"Yes, I used to be an advertising model. You may have seen at the movies," Black Glasses said. The passage was very narrow and made from worn stone slabs. The stairs were very uneven and varied in size. Chuchu was still persistent: "No, I think Ive t you before."
Black Glasses looked back at her and moved to put his hand on the back of her neck. But Chuchu was very vigilant and pressed up against the passage wall, protecting the back of her neck. "Your movents are the sa as Funny Uncles. He did that to , too." After Chuchu finished signing, she quickly put her hand over her neck and glared at Black Glasses.
"Co on! Its just a quick squeeze and then youll wake up and everything will be settled. You can go ho with your videos.
Black Glasses beckoned to her, but Chuchu quickly signed back: "Are you Funny Uncles friend? Or his son?"
Black Glasses looked at her and sighed.
Funny Uncle how long had it been since he heard that na? At that ti, he stayed in the sa ward with the little girl for a long ti in order to monitor her. The little girl didn't say a word or cry out in pain or sadness. She just stubbornly held it all back. He didn't know whether she was refusing to accept her fate or if it was sothing else.
In order to get her to say sothing, Black Glasses went to all kinds of trouble and used every thod he could think of. Later, because of his strange behavior, the little girl took a liking to him and gave him a nickna: Funny Uncle. Did children rember their childhood so well?
Black Glasses looked at Chuchu and was just about to strong-arm her, when she suddenly ran down the stairs with her hand covering her neck. Then, he heard the sound of her falling. When Black Glasses walked down and shined his flashlight around, he saw that she had bumped into a wall.
He looked closer with his flashlight and found that it wasn't a wall, but a monunt placed at the bottom of the stairs. At this ti, he heard the sound of surging water coming from behind it.
Two words had been engraved on the stone monunt: Extre Sea.
The monunt looked very old, but because there was only water vapor here, there were no signs of weathering. The engraved words were still quite clear and there were smaller ones carved on the side. Black Glasses wasn't interested in reading them, so he bypassed the monunt directly and found a huge cliff in the space behind it. If the stone monunt hadnt been here, Chuchu wouldve gone down directly.
This underground cliff was a big crack about the width of three liberation trucks and was too deep for the flashlights to illuminate clearly. The running water sound was coming from below, aning that there really was an underground river underneath. According to Wu Erbai's data, the Extre Sea was the longest underground river in China, and also the mother river of the South Seas Falling Cloud Country. It was said that there were more than three hundred tributaries, and all of the South Seas Falling Cloud Countrys borders were attached to these rivers.
There were Extre Sea monunts erected by the South Sea countrys people near every entrance and exit of these underground rivers. These monunts were all in secret places, and most of them had pools of water nearby. That was why most people who found them thought that Extre Sea was the na of these underground pools. They didnt realize that it actually referred to this connected underground water system. Unexpectedly, the Extre Sea beca so long that even Burma had an entrance. It wasnt surprising that the legend of the South Sea country placed the country in both the east and the west. This ancient underground countrywhich existed in the underground river basinhad a vast territory and could be isolated from the world for a long ti. This was also the only way to reach Thunder City, because there were too many forks in the underground river.
Thunder City was in a certain section of this Extre Sea.
Chuchu asked him to co back, so Black Glasses went over to her. She told him to look at the small words engraved on the Extre Sea monunt. When he shined his flashlight on it, the line of words appeared more clearly. They seed very chaotic, as if the person who had carved them had been in a state of madness.
The words read: Wu Sanxing entered Thunder City from this point to alleviate all regrets.
