Angel's speed was very fast, and he reached the bottom of the lake more than ten meters away in almost the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, Angel had disappeared.
Just when Hua Yuan was confused, a glowing arrow appeared out of thin air in the distance.
When Hua Yuan saw this, she immediately understood that Angel was guiding her, and she quickly swam towards the glowing arrow with Cherry.
When she swam to the arrowhead, she looked at the fog mark that glowed out of thin air, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Is the luminous arrow made of fog the ability of the light-chasing butterfly? Or is it some kind of luminous graffiti?
Just when she was curious to touch it, a row of numbers suddenly appeared under the glowing arrow: 117.
The next second, the number changed to 116, and a second later it became 115.
"Is this a countdown?"
When Hua Yuan was staring curiously, Angel's voice came to her ears: "In 100 seconds, the window period to enter the hidden waters will close. If you don't arrive in time, don't even think about going to the dark corner."
Hearing this, Hua Yuan suddenly remembered that Angel had said several times before that the entrance to the dark corner would be closed.
If she hadn't arrived in time, she would probably never have the chance to enter a dark corner again in her life.
Thinking of this, Hua Yuan's interest in the cursor disappeared instantly.
"Cherry, fragrant wind!"
After Hua Yuan finished speaking, the girl rabbit behind her made a praying gesture, and the phantom of the fashion magic book faintly appeared next to her. Then, a faint fragrance surrounded her limbs.
The moment the fragrant wind appeared, Huayuan was like a sharp arrow, swimming quickly towards the dark cave at the bottom of the lake.
Under the guidance of the luminous arrow, Hua Yuan keeps moving forward in the rugged dark cave.
Every glowing arrow left by Angel has a countdown underneath it. As the countdown continues to shrink, Hua Yuan becomes more and more nervous.
Until now, she had only seen the cursor and not Angel's figure. She didn't know when she would arrive at the so-called dark corner entrance.
We can only keep squeezing the cherries, giving her every sprint, bringing bursts of fragrant wind.
The dark cave is very narrow and has many forks. The gurgling sound of the deep water combined with the dark atmosphere makes Hua Yuan feel a little creepy.
Fortunately, the glowing arrows and countdown kept reminding her and allowed her to temporarily ignore the cramped and claustrophobic atmosphere around her.
I don’t know how long I swam.
Just as she passed through a new glowing arrow, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be some change in the space around her.
This change was not obvious, but she felt it.
Because she smelled the token.
Before, she could not smell the token, but had a vague feeling that the user of the token had disappeared at the bottom of the lake.
But just now, she smelled a familiar smell, deep in the waterway.
Hua Yuan turned her head and glanced at Cherry.
Cherry also nodded slightly to her: "The token user is inside..."
After a pause, Cherry added: "The taste of the water here has changed. It's not the same as the water outside."
"The taste of the water has changed?" Hua Yuan did not question it, because she knew that Cherry could indeed smell the change in the water. Even she herself could vaguely smell the different smell of the water.
She was just a little confused, why did the water show two completely different flavors just by passing a cursor arrow?
Hua Yuan turned around, wanting to put it back on and try the water smell from before.
But looking at the 30-second countdown, she hesitated for a moment and decided to forget it first.
Keep going.
When she reached the new cursor point, she found that the countdown was gone?
Just when she was confused, Cherry suddenly pointed to something not far away, signaling Hua to look at it.
By the dim light of the glowing arrow, Hua Yuan saw a broken table suddenly appeared on the side of the water hole. There was also a transparent glass bottle on the table, which was swaying from side to side with the water waves.
"It just appeared." Cherry's voice was sweet.
"You mean, this glass bottle just appeared?"
"Yeah."
"Appeared out of thin air?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Doubt flashed across Hua Yuan's eyes, and a glass bottle appeared out of thin air? Is it some kind of magic that creates a series?
"Did that young man just leave it?" Hua Yuan thought for a while and decided to swim over to have a look. However, just as she approached the broken table, the water waves brought by swimming caused the shaking bottle to fall directly.
overturned.
As the lid falls, a large number of bubbles float out.
"Hey, it smells so strange..." Hua Yuan felt as soon as she finished her words that her eyes became dim.
At the same time, Angel's voice came to his ears: "Don't smell it, that's a bottle containing oxygen factor!"
"It's too late, I can already smell it..." Hua Yuan felt her eyes drowsy, "Oxygen information factor...? What... is this?"
While Hua Yuan was still thinking, she suddenly felt darkness around her, as if she had fallen into a dark swamp.
Continuous sinking, sinking.
The body was covered in sticky non-fluid and fell into the bottomless abyss.
The surrounding mud smelled very bad, with a distinct smell of cake, but as she fell, the smell of cake was slowly diluted, from a thick smell to a light smell, and then the smell became lighter and lighter.
, until it changes from smelly to fragrant, with a light floral fragrance...
The moment the fragrance appeared, Hua Yuan suddenly opened her eyes.
She was panting heavily, and her forehead was covered with sweat.
At this time, Cherry made a humming sound and rushed into her arms, trembling.
Only then did Hua Yuan realize that she was sitting on a worn-out chair.
This chair looks like the kind of chair in a theater, and it has a red bread cushion, although it is torn.
Hua Yuan raised her head and looked around, and found that she seemed to be in an abandoned auditorium... There was a circular stage in the distance, with two tall figures sliding gracefully on it.
"Where is this place? Why am I here all of a sudden?" Hua Yuan's heart was full of questions, her memory was still in the dark waterway just now.
She vaguely remembered that she just smelled some kind of strange smell, and then she seemed to... fainted.
So, she was taken to the abandoned auditorium after she fainted?
Hua Yuan lowered her head and wanted to ask Cherry, but before she could speak, she heard footsteps coming from ahead.
Hua Yuan immediately followed the sound, and it was only then that she noticed that there were actually several people surrounding the circular stage just now.
One of them was the young man who brought him in before.
At this time, the young man seemed to have noticed her awakening and walked towards her...
…
Angel looked at Hua Yuan who looked wary and even covered his chest. He hesitated and did not approach.
It just stopped ten meters away from her.
"I know you have a lot of questions." Angel pointed to the girl rabbit in her arms: "You can ask the rabbit in your arms first. It knows what happened after you fell into coma. I will also tell you the general situation here.
Got it."
After speaking, Angel gently spread his hands, and a large number of luminous nodes appeared on his hands.
These light spots finally formed a thin book with a slightly illusory feel.
Angel placed the thin book on the seat in front of Huayuan: "Wait until you understand the basic situation from your rabbit first, and then decide whether to read this."
Through the gap in the seat, Hua Yuan could faintly see the booklet in front of her which read: "Hidden Waters, Underwater Churches and Dark Corners".
"You will know the specific situation after you pick up this book."
"If you finally make a decision, come and see me then."
After finishing speaking, Angel turned around and walked towards the front stage, regardless of what Hua Yuan thought.
After Angel left, Hua Yuan immediately looked at Cherry.
Cherry looked scared and kept shaking in her arms.
"Did they bully you?"
Cherry said aggrievedly "Yeah, yeah," a few times, then quietly popped up her head and pointed at the two tall robots on the stage with her furry fingers.
After listening for a long time, Hua Yuan realized that Cherry was not being bullied, but just wanted it to smell something familiar in the center of the stage and to get on the stage. As a result, the two robots that it originally thought were statues,
It suddenly moved and frightened it.
Hua Yuan: "..." She felt that Cherry was trembling just now, and she thought she was being bullied, but she asked for it.
Hua Yuan sighed, and while helping Ying Tao smooth her hair, she asked what happened just now.
Cherry also said "Yeah" and informed Hua Yuan of the situation.
According to Cherry, after she touched the glass bottle, she was knocked unconscious by the gas inside. Then, the young man named Angel took her to the underwater church.
On the way, Angel said to Cherry that the bottle contained the freshly refreshed bottled oxygen factor, which would cause hallucinations after smelling it.
It was not there when he came over. When Hua Yuan came, it happened to be the time when the Hidden Water Area was disconnected from the Companion Star Lake. The supplies were refreshed, and then the oxygen factor was refreshed in front of Hua Yuan.
It can only be said that Hua Yuan's luck is not very good.
Although Cherry explained her situation after coma, Hua Yuan actually didn't understand a lot of information, such as...refreshment of supplies?
Hua Yuan thought for a moment and looked at the booklet in front of her.
Maybe there will be answers in the booklet?
Thinking of this, Hua Yuan reached out her hand and took the booklet from the front seat. However, when she opened the first page of the booklet, she saw this row of words.
"If you regret it now, you can still go back. Once you read it, there is no going back."
This typesetting shimmers with light, seeming to remind the flowers of their wishes.
At the same time, Angel, who was near the stage in the distance, seemed to sense something and looked back at her.
Hua Yuan looked at Angel and slowly opened the pages of the book in front of him.
Since she dared to follow, she was naturally prepared to go to the dark corner. - Although before this, she did not believe that anyone could find the entrance to the dark corner; but if there really was such a dark corner entrance, for the sake of Cherry, she
I will try it without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Hua Yuan looked at the contents of the back pages.
…
About ten minutes later.
Hua Yuan walked near the stage.
From that thin book, she already had a general understanding of this strange area called the Hidden Waters. According to the records in the thin book, not only was this place independent of the void, but supplies would also be refreshed from time to time.
This strange phenomenon comes from... dark corners.
It is said that this secret water area was originally a corner of the dark corner, but somehow it fell into the void outside the modern city.
But it retains some rules for dark corners, such as the material refresh mentioned just now.
Oxygen information factor, nutrient water, luminous water... these are all refreshed materials.
At the same time, through some unique methods, you can also use the hidden water as a stepping stone to get to the dark corner from here.
As for what the so-called "unique method" is, it is not introduced in the booklet.
Huayuan herself is not the one to break the casserole and get to the bottom of things. As long as she is sure that she can really get into the dark corner, nothing else matters.
Just when Hua Yuan arrived at the stage, Angel looked at her: "It seems that you have decided to enter the dark corner."
Hua Yuan nodded: "Cherry has a congenital disease, and I need to go to the dark corner to help it find an antidote."
Speaking of cherries, Angel subconsciously looked at the half-length rabbit at Hua Yuan's feet.
She was dressed very girlishly, with a bunch of flowers in her hair.
When the half-length rabbit faced Angel, he did not show any fear. Instead, he blinked his eyes, sniffed the air, and huffed his nose.
He even came close to running to Angel to smell it.
"Is it hinting to me that I'm rotten and smelly?" Angel pointed at the half-length rabbit.
Hua Yuan pulled the cherry behind her with some embarrassment: "No, no, it just thinks your smell smells good and wants to use "Xiao Xiangfeng" to collect it..."
Cherry is a fashion monster from the style series named Rococo Rabbit.
Its special form is called: Xiao Xiangfeng Roko Rabbit.
Xiaoxiangfeng is the ability that comes with its special form. It can collect various smells and make different styles of fragrances.
"Cherry will behave like this whenever it smells good..."
Angel: "..."
After listening to Hua Yuan's explanation, Angel thought of Liana inexplicably. When he first entered the Savage Cave, Lianna also smelled him, trying to collect his scent.
However, it was because he was tainted with the smell of Demonic Food Kao's saliva.
It stands to reason that there is no so-called fragrance on his body now, so why is it smelled again?
Although Angel was confused, he didn't ask. He just looked at Hua Yuan and said, "Since you have made a decision, then sit over there."
Angel pointed to a seat next to the stage.
Hua Yuan followed the sound and found two people near the seat. One was a sleeping man with a strange but burly figure, and the other was a silver-haired girl with different eyes.
At this time, the girl with different eyes was looking at Hua Yuan. To be precise, she was looking at the cherries beside Hua Yuan, and she seemed to be very interested in cherries.
Hua Yuan subconsciously gathered Yingtao behind her: "Did they both... also enter the dark corner together?"
Angel shook his head: "No, there are only two people going to the dark corner this time, you and Sigimund. Well, it's the man over there who is pretending to be asleep."
"As for Laplace and I, we are just here to help you activate the entrance and witness your departure."
"Go sit down. There is a "Guide to Dark Corners" on your seat. It is the information we collected about dark corners. You can take this opportunity to read it."
"In one hour, the door to the dark corner will open, and I will send you away."
Angel didn't say any pleasantries, just made a basic self-introduction and asked Hua Yuan to sit aside and wait.
This gave Hua Yuan the illusion that one second she was free, and the next second she joined a secret organization and became an experimental subject, without even a transition time in between.
However, Hua Yuan quickly adjusted her mentality. Going to dark corners was her own choice.
Moreover, Angel and the others did not value her too much, but made her feel a little relaxed. She was worried before that if she joined this dark corner team, she would be assigned some tasks. After all, she could not be allowed to go to dark corners for free.
But now it seems that she was not assigned a task, but was just brought along along the way. This relieved her inner pressure a bit.
