Chapter 35 The Bottomless Lake(1/2)
I gently returned to the tent and got into the sleeping bag, but I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I saw the face of the Three Kingdoms of Lu always appeared in front of me.
It’s okay if I can’t sleep. Today is my birthday. I’m worried that my father will use the seventh sense channel to drill into my brain and control my consciousness. Next, maybe he will instruct me to kill the juice or the monsoon!
We have 15 people left.
Three of us died overnight. If we continue like this, we will all be buried in Lop Nur within 5 days. The last person will probably be corpsed in the desert and no one will be buried.
I didn't have breakfast and slept until after 11 o'clock.
I walked out of the tent, finished washing up, and went to the tent in Linghu Mountain.
The monsoon was not there, and it was as hot as a steamer outside, but she was fishing by the lake with the juice and Meng Xiaoshuai. Wu Min was showing her diligence beside her.
Linghu Mountain sat at the door of the tent and watched quietly. I knew he was watching the monsoon.
I sat in the tent with him and suddenly I said, "How much is your heart rhythm?"
Linghu Shan was stunned: "What is heart rhythm?"
I said, “That is, how many times do you have your heartbeat every minute?”
Linghu Shan said: "Oh, I haven't tested it. Why do you ask this?"
I said, "Ask whatever you want."
Linghu Mountain said: "Anyway, I'm running 5,000 meters long is like playing."
I could tell that he was absent-minded in chatting with me, and continued to watch the monsoon fishing while talking.
I said, “Do you suspect that your stepfather killed your biological father and then married your mother?”
Linghu Shan was obviously more interested in this topic: "It must be so. Since the nine of them killed each other, since he was the only one who escaped in the end, who killed the eight people you said?"
I said, "Then why are you doing in Lop Nur?"
Linghu Mountain said: "I'm here to look for Sengchangpo."
I said, "Is there any point?"
Linghu Shan said: "Of course it makes sense, it can prove whether he did it on purpose or not."
I said, "How do you understand?"
Linghu Shan said: "If I can't find Sengchangpo, it means that he deliberately killed my father and then made up a lie to avoid punishment; if I find Sengchangpo, it means that he was indeed possessed by some kind of force at that time and could not control himself..."
I watched his expression while talking to him.
The reason why I talked to him about this is actually to test whether he is reliable. If I feel that the story of his family is true, then he is reliable. If I feel that the story of his family is false, then he is unreliable.
His eyes told me that he was telling the truth.
I said, "Now are you sure?"
Linghu Shan nodded: "I'm sure."
I said, "Why?"
Linghu Mountain said: "Because I found the Stormy Pole."
I said, "This place is not a horrible land at all, we did not kill each other!"
Linghu Mountain looked at me and suddenly said, "It has begun."
I said, "What has begun?"
Linghu Mountain lowered his voice and said, "You killed the Three Kingdoms of Lu last night."
I was stunned.
Linghu Mountain continued: "I know, he is not an undercover agent at all."
I said, "Linghu Mountain, I tell you that my father controlled my brain last night and was sleepwalking."
Linghu Shan said: "How could he control your brain?"
I said, "It's a long way to say it, just think he masters some kind of spell."
Linghu Shan said: "Just Bubu said - what if he controls your brain again tonight and lets you kill me?"
I said, "I won't let him control me anymore."
Linghu Shan said: "How do you defend against him?"
I said, "It's a long way to speak, just think that I have mastered some kind of spell."
Linghu Shan said: "What if our brains are all controlled?"
I said: "Impossible, there is only a channel between direct blood relatives."
Linghu Shan shook his head and said, "I don't agree. As long as someone can enter your brain, others can definitely enter your brain too!"
This made me feel cold.
I began to doubt the seventh sense. Is it really just a passage between parents and children?
For example: A tunnel with the word "king" seems to be able to pass through only the word "king". So, can't it be able to pass through the word "tian"?
I think I was controlled by my father, and maybe this was an illusion in itself.
I suddenly wanted to leave this place.
I said, "I'll discuss with you, leave here today and continue to find a way out."
Linghu Mountain continued to watch the monsoon and said pessimisticly: "We have seen everything we should see, and I don't think it's so easy to get out of Lop Nur."
Before leaving, I must go to the bottom of the lake to take a look.
I shouted to Liu Juer, "Liu Juer!"
She looked at me and ran over.
I walked into the tent with her and said, "Juice, I want to give you a surprise."
Liu Juer said, "Is it valuable?"
I stopped moving and just stared at her.
She said, "Okay, okay, as long as it is given by you, I like everything, okay?"
I took out the heavenly thing from my pocket, and it turned into the shape of a heart.
The juice was taken over and was surprised: "Wow, it's so beautiful! Where did you pick it up?"
I said, "Digged under the sand."
Juice said, "So cold! What material is it?"
I said, "It's glass."
Liu Jinger said, "I have never seen such a beautiful glass!"
I said, "Promise me, don't lose it, okay?"
Liu Xueer said: "Absolutely not!"
Then I said, "Jinger, I will dive to the bottom of the lake to see it later. If I don't come out before dark, you can leave quickly. Can you remember?"
Liu Xueer said, "How do you dive?"
I said, "There are gas cylinders on the cars in the Three Kingdoms of Lu."
The juice blocked me like a child: "I won't allow you to go down!"
I said, "Last time I went into the water, I saw something with a Pisces pattern at the bottom of the lake. I went to see what it was."
Liu Jinger said, "Then I won't let you go!"
I said, "Have you ever played escape room?"
Liu Xueer said, "I've played it."
I said, "Now we are trapped. As long as we discover the mechanism, we should go and explore it. Maybe we will unlock it in a moment. At that time, everyone will be saved. I must go down."
Liu Xueer suddenly ran outside the tent and shouted to the people by the lake: "What's wrong! Come quickly!"
Ji Feng, Meng Xiaoshuai and Wu Min both ran over.
Liu Juer told everyone what I planned.
Wu Min said: "Boss Zhou, we don't know how deep the water is, it's too risky."
Juice raised the heavenly thing and shouted, "He gave me this piece of glass, as if he wanted to say goodbye! Let's not let him go!"
I looked at Wu Min, and Wu Min looked at me. I don’t know how embarrassed I am.
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Boss Zhou, do you want to be dead? You are so deep that you need a doctor to evaluate your body in advance! Even if you have to continue, then choose a young one."
Ji Feng suddenly said, "I'll call Linghu Mountain." After that, he walked out.
I stopped her: "Monsoon!"
She stopped and I said to her, "This is what I want to do, don't pull others in."
It can be seen that she and Linghu Mountain are already very close.
