Restricted Doomsday Syndrome Chapter 1430: Don’t die
Dr. Ruan Li’s trust in her friend Gus is beyond my understanding. Maybe I can compare my heart to my heart and use my feelings towards the one I love as an analogy, but it’s very good if I put it on this Gus who has not yet met. It's hard to have this kind of emotion. √∟, Dr. Ruan Li’s trust in Gus seems to be the basis for her to perceive a certain abnormality.
"Why did you die if you broke the agreement? Mom, what did you do to him?" I couldn't help asking.
"It’s not what I did, but he once said so, and I believe him." Dr. Ruan Li calmly explained to me: "Gus encountered this underground river when he discovered it. Some things, he didn’t tell me what it was, he just told me that if I decided to leave this underground river, he would prepare for me, and as long as we didn’t meet him, he would not enter the underground river. , Once he violates this agreement, he will die."
"Sounds very mysterious. Mom, do you believe him?" I said.
"Yes, he is a trustworthy person." Dr. Ruan Li said, "I don't know why he said that, but there must be reasons I don't understand. If he said so, I would believe him ."
I really didn't expect that Dr. Ruan Li would have such a trusted friend in the seminar.
Doctor Ruan Li said that Gus would not enter the underground river alone. If he violates this agreement, he will die before entering. Dr. Ruan Li is not a mystery expert, and I don’t think she would do anything to this friend Gus. Then, why did Gus die? Did he have a problem, or did he keep his promise to the point where he would maintain this agreement with his life?
I have also had the experience of using my life to maintain certain things, and I understand that such a person must exist in the world, but I don’t know Gus or even meet him with my own eyes, so. I can't imagine that he is such a person.
I can only remain silent about what Dr. Ruan Li said, because the trust of Dr. Ruan Li is also very unusual in my opinion. Moreover, my confidence in that Gus friend is definitely not as strong as Dr. Ruan Li.
"Gus is dead." Doctor Ruan Li stroked the mark, and she stood up suddenly. Said to me: "Let's dig here."
I was surprised at her decision, and thought it was a sudden decision. However, Dr. Ruan Li’s decisive actions made me feel that there was no way to dispel her thoughts, so I had to come forward and help. We found branches and long stones, pried the stones with imprints, and then dug away the soft wet mud below. After digging a few times, the wet mud below suddenly collapsed. It was as if there was a huge hole further down.
"Don't dig anymore! Get out of here!" I yelled to her, because the chain judgement had already felt how intense the activity below was.
The collapse of the wet mud was very rapid, and the chain collapse even showed obvious cracks where we were standing. I quickly pulled Dr. Ruan Li and ran away. As soon as the front foot moved, the collapse of the river bank started chasing after the hind foot.
I grabbed Dr. Ruan Li and rushed out fifty meters away. The vibration of the entire underground channel gradually subsided. Looking back, there was only a deep hole in the ground. I can't see the bottom even with a flashlight. There is a very clear sense of movement in the darkness, and Dr. Ruan Li and I looked at each other. For the first time, I remembered those dark threads that overflowed before entering the water for the second time. Roughly, Dr. Ruan Li also thought of the same scene. This tremor came and went fast, and its severity even made me feel that this section of the cave was about to collapse. However, the river was only cut off by a deep hole, and the river water poured into the cave, forming a long line. Long waterfall.
The side where we are. It was completely isolated from the side where it came, but the water level in the river on our side did not drop, nor did the flow direction change. Dr. Ruan Li and I walked around Dadong. Feel the flow of the underground river. Although there is no water on the wall of the cave on our side, the flow of the river gives people the feeling that it is like water pouring up from below the cave and continuing to rush along the river.
It's so weird, even Dr. Ruan Li frowned, completely unable to draw a careful and logical conclusion with his scientific knowledge.
"It's not an illusion." Dr. Ruan Li took her hand out of the river. At first, she seemed to think that seeing such an incredible scene was because her spirit was eroded by the white Claudia, but now she herself Deny this.
For me, this is a manifestation of "mystery", but this reason does not make sense to Dr. Ruan Li, so I said: "Is it a problem of space?"
The problem of space can be created by "mystery" or "science". The incredible scene in front of me is just a phenomenon, which can be explained from different angles. However, for Dr. Ruan Li, it is probably "something that follows natural science" that is more in line with his wishes.
However, Dr. Ruan Li did not pursue this. I know very well that she has never worked hard in science other than psychology and biology. This kind of specialization is also one of the reasons for her extraordinary achievements in the scientific field she specializes in. Just like now, it is her common sense to describe the current situation with words such as big and empty "space conversion", but what kind of scientific space theory it is is not in her scope of attention.
"This may be why Gus is marking here." Dr. Ruan Li said.
This conclusion is too light, but I have nothing to say. Why Gus made a mark here, what exactly the mark is meant to tell us, or whether it is to conceal or deceive, is not something we can understand now. Excavating at the mark left by Gus, a certain kind of mechanism was triggered, and then this big hole appeared. No matter how you think about it, it is by no means accidental.
"We can't go down." I said to Dr. Ruan Li. However, this is a lie. Relying on the speed of super power, I am confident that I can try to explore below, but why should I do that? The reason why we came here is to go straight along the underground river in an attempt to cross the border between the peninsula and the mainland. Our path has not been cut off by this accident. If we are on the other side of this big hole, of course we can only choose to enter the cave or go back. However, the current situation is that our retreat has been cut off and we must keep moving forward.
Worst case scenario. Of course, the front is a dead end, and then we can't advance or retreat, we must find another way to get out of this underground river.
"Let's go, mother." I pulled Dr. Ruan Li up. She seemed to want to solve the mystery of Gus, the big hole was like a tempting and deep puzzle. Under the flowing darkness, I don't know what weird things are. Or a vast and magnificent scene. On the other side of the darkness is the unknown, which is scary and full of imagination. The unknown is daunting, and imagination is coveted.
I took Dr. Ruan Li and continued to move forward. I could feel her hesitation in her footsteps, but under my toughness, she finally stayed away from the big hole. I am walking fast, maybe in the feeling of Dr. Ruan Li, I am like a fearful child. Want to escape the unknown.
The meandering river is not straight, and the darkness of the underground greatly limits the field of vision, so there is an illusion that I have been walking forward. In fact, when we leave thirty meters away and look back, we can only vaguely see the outline of the big hole, and this vagueness. It's just the illusion left in the mind of what the naked eye sees. We didn't really "see", but just the impression it left there.
Go forward another fifty meters. Dr. Ruan Li's footsteps finally started briskly, probably away from the big hole, which made her swaying heart finally make a decision. I feel a little relieved now. There are too many weird things along the way. Although the itinerary is not tortuous, it makes people feel that the enemy is lurking in it. I don't know what the other party is thinking, but he hasn't attacked us for a long time.
The ambiguity surrounded by this hostility is like tapping on the side of a porcelain jar, listening to the sound, and detecting some important details in this way. It makes people feel that the other party is using these details to make some preparations, and because they don't know what the other party's purpose is, it makes people feel uneasy.
The lady in red, a large number of human figures that are invisible to the naked eye, and the large void that appears at the Gus mark, these anomalies are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and an invisible hand is joining these pieces one by one. If I said that when I first came, I felt that Dr. Ruan Li’s escape plan still had three levels of opportunities, but now I feel that there is only one level left. The preparations made by the enemy here seem to be more adequate than what Dr. Ruan Li has made.
I began to feel that choosing an underground river as a breakthrough is not easier than choosing a breakthrough from the ground.
Doctor Ruan Li seems to have noticed something, his face has been very solemn.
We walked for a long time before we chose a dry and hidden place to camp. Judging from the time of the timer, another day has passed very quickly. Since we avoided the big hole, our journey has been very stable. However, the journey of the underground river is so long and dark, and with the passage of time, the psychological pressure is increasing day by day. Dr. Ruan Li and I checked the water and food we were carrying and decided to use the underground river’s ecosystem to be self-sufficient. However, the animals and plants here are so rare that it is difficult for Dr. Ruan Li to tell what is edible. Which can't.
As always, I lighted a fire, and threw the food I picked and hunted on the hot stones. Dr. Ruan Li took out a notebook full of tags from his suitcase. This is the data collected by various experiments she has done using the seminar equipment. I can't understand it, but I understand what Dr. Ruan Li wants to do. She intends to sort out the relevant data after I take the park, and further design the "paradise" for mass production.
This repeater world is getting closer and closer to the situation of the doomsday illusion, and I have a feeling that I am participating in the details of the evolutionary history. However, this repeater world will be destroyed before it becomes another doomsday illusion.
When the food is ready, I grabbed each one. It took ten minutes for Dr. Ruan Li to take it. Dr. Ruan Li intends to resist, but now I can suppress her with my physical fitness without any worries. Dr. Ruan Li can only show a wry smile, but to me, this expression is better than an expression of pain.
"If we took the route calculated by Gus, then we would leave the peninsula in three days." Dr. Ruan Li frowned and ate the grilled fish made of odd-shaped fish. I knew it very well. How disgusting is the taste, "Think in the best direction, we have already walked halfway."
I know very well that this kind of remark is just a comfort to adjust the psychological pressure. I am not that fragile. On the contrary, I feel that Dr. Ruan Li needs this kind of speaking skills to regulate myself. She is just an ordinary person. Although she has encountered many storms in the past, she is generally not as thrilling as this time. When I was fighting with other mystery experts, she was also intriguing with many smart people, and after completing experiments using each other, she was still looking for a way out. Just like me fighting against multiple mysterious organizations, she also used only a small amount of capital to fight an entire seminar.
However, since we insist on the idea of conflicting with everyone, it is helpless to become such a situation.
In the underground river, I couldn't distinguish between day and night. Doctor Ruan Li felt tired, so he rolled up his body with a blanket and lay down by the campfire. I can't sleep, nor can I sleep. Doctor Ruan Li is an ordinary person or a woman, and his physical fitness is simply not enough to support the task of vigil. I found my favorite Camel cigarette in my suitcase~IndoMTL.com~, took one out, fiddled with the campfire, lit it, and smoked it quietly. The chain determination has been unfolding, monitoring movement within a radius of 50 meters.
Unconsciously, I felt a sense of sight, just like a certain moment in the past, and myself, like this, guarding someone in the dark night and smoking quietly. Even if it is in a different place, I don't usually feel that way, but at this moment, it seems that even the breath, heartbeat, and smell have become familiar.
The flame was beating, and scenes seemed to flow in the flames. I couldn't see clearly but there was a vague illusion, which made me immersed in it without knowing it. But I didn't think about anything, my heart was so peaceful.
In this tranquility, something suddenly jumped, like a leaf falling on the surface of a calm lake, and ripples will appear. I suddenly awoke and threw most of the burnt cigarettes into the bonfire. This movement was felt by the chain judgment, it was an external thing, and disappeared before the chain judgment outlined it. Of course it is not an ordinary underground creature.
Suddenly, there was a bitter cold from the air, and Dr. Ruan Li made a sleepy sound, his expression was a bit painful, and the body wrapped in the blanket curled up like a nightmare. I stepped forward and grabbed her hand. She didn't wake up like before, instead she seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper in a nightmare. Then, as if subconsciously, she also grabbed my hand forcefully. (To be continued...)
