After passing through the gate and entering the sports center, Chen Luo did not see the supernatural crime scene in horror movies, nor did he see any demons or ghosts. What he saw was pitch black.
Chen Luo turned around and reached out his hand.
What he felt was not the feeling of the door when he came in, but the feeling of knocking on some kind of transparent barrier.
Obviously, there was only one path left in front of him: Forward.
Chen Luo closed his eyes and opened them again about ten seconds later. When a person suddenly entered a dark space under normal light, they would not be able to see anything. However, as long as they stopped and closed their eyes for ten seconds before opening them again, they would be able to see a blur. This time, the visibility was much better than when they first entered. It was no longer as dark as before. Although it was impossible to see clearly, it was still possible to barely see the road under their feet.
After recognizing the path under his feet, Chen Luo started walking.
Drip, drip, drip.
The ethereal sound of water droplets falling to the ground came from above. However, due to the visibility, the ethereal sound of water droplets falling seemed a little chilling at this time. The environment he was in now was more like the last tunnel before the strangeness that often appeared in certain horror movies.
The advantage of the tunnel was that it usually only had one path before there was a fork in the road. One only needed to follow this path all the way to the end. If they were unlucky and a fork appeared in the tunnel, they might have to use other methods, such as marking and then trying one by one.
Chen Luo wasn't good at mazes, nor did he like riddles. His speed was not slow, but he walked very steadily. To him, this speed was just right.
Perhaps it was the blessing of the heavens, or perhaps this pathway only had one unobstructed path leading to the outside world. After Chen Luo walked for a while, he saw the end of the pathway-it was a bright exit.
Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and slowed down his movements. Then, he stopped two meters away from the exit.
Just like before, he closed his eyes and looked at the place where the light was shining. When he was almost used to it, he opened his eyes again and walked towards the exit.
The thing that people feared the most was the unknown.
Chen Luo was also prepared to be welcomed by a strange scene when he walked out, but nothing happened. He saw the blue sea, the golden beach, and the coconut trees that were rooted to the ground by the wind, but he did not see anyone.
He was the only one standing alone on the beach. The waves hit the beach wave after wave, showing the rise and fall of the tide.
He turned his head to look behind the beach. There was nothing there except for the terrifying darkness. He only saw nothingness.
This beach seemed to be an independent creation, just a concept. It was just a beach. There were still a few retail stalls for " teppanyaki squid,"" kebabs," and " ice cream " scattered on the beach. However, there were no tourists around, and there were no traces of other people's existence. Everything was harmonious but subtle.
He took a deep breath. This was more than the first time he had encountered such a strange thing in his life. After adjusting his mentality, he began to walk along the beach.
The waves continued to rush onto the beach and slowly receded, leaving behind scattered footprints of his shoes on the beach.
He kept walking, but he kept circling around the beach. No matter how far he walked, when he turned around, the distinct footprints would tell him that his feelings were right. He was indeed walking forward, but the coconut tree that he regarded as the starting point was always in the corner of his eye.
Humans were social animals. Without the internet and means of communication, technology had regressed to the stage where they worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and time had become long.
Finally, Chen Luo stopped. He did not give up struggling, but he stopped to rest and think of a way to leave. He found a place to sit down. With his back against the coconut tree and his face facing the sea, it was roughly considered spring.
Time passed just like that. The sun hanging high in the sky gradually set, and the wine-red sunset dyed the entire beach. The sparkling waves surged up and down, and the flow of time seemed to return to normal under the contrast of the sunset that was gradually swallowed by the sea.
The sound of the waves rang in his ears, and the sound of water droplets falling to the ground in the tunnel followed.
Chen Luo suddenly felt his vision blur, and his body gradually became heavy. The beach behind him also became a stretch of Wang Yang, and he seemed to be in the middle of the sea.
A huge black shadow suddenly appeared beside him in the sea. An inexplicable palpitation surged in his heart. He wanted to turn around, but he could not control his body no matter what. However, he still caught a glimpse of the huge creature's face from the corner of his eye. It was a giant sea monster with tentacles.
Roar!
With an unknown but hair-raising roar, his vision suddenly fell into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw the torrential rain and the whistling cold wind.
The cold wind brushed past his face like a knife, causing him to feel pain.
He subconsciously touched his clothes. After confirming that he had a second coat on him, he zipped up his coat without hesitation. The bone-piercing coldness brought by the cold wind instantly dissipated by more than half.
At this moment, Chen Luo finally had the time to observe his surroundings.
Different from before, he seemed to be on a cruise ship. Although it was raining heavily, there were still no turbulent waves on the sea. The cruise ship was sailing very smoothly.
Behind him was the largest cabin and also the most lively hall. It was filled with lights and feasts. Men in suits and women in evening gowns were dancing intimately. From time to time, there were groups of young people in suits holding glasses of red wine and gently shaking them. They looked at the wine in the glasses and chatted with their peers who had just met.
Chen Luo turned his head and looked away.
Although he couldn't quite understand why the scene changed so quickly, his subconscious told him that if he walked towards the cabin, he wouldn't be able to solve the current predicament.
Therefore, he trusted his subconscious and began to walk along the deck to the front of the cruise ship.
Chen Luo grabbed the railing and looked down instinctively under the heavy rain. It was the same sea as before.
Bang!
The cruise ship shook heavily. Even though Chen Luo held onto the railing tightly, his body swayed a few times.
It was the sound of something hitting the bottom of the cabin.
The harmonious atmosphere of the dancing in the hall was broken. It was replaced by flashing lights and a crowd of people. Everyone looked at each other. This was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
Bang!
There was another wave of shaking, accompanied by the sound of metal being broken.
This time, the crowd in the hall finally couldn't sit still anymore. They began to flee in panic to a place they thought was safe.
There were special evacuation routes and staff responsible for evacuation on the cruise ship, but this time, no staff stood up at this time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The shaking became more and more intense, and the screams of the crowd even passed through the wind and the glass of the French windows.
Chen Luo didn't care about the people fleeing in all directions in the hall, nor did he care about the flickering lights in the hall because of the unstable voltage.
His gaze was firmly fixed on the surface of the sea.
At the intersection between the seawater and the air, the tentacles of some giant creature were faintly discernible.
In the office, Xi Zhang silently watched the projected image, his eyes filled with complicated emotions. He clenched his left hand until his fingernails dug into his flesh.
