Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 488 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] 32: Tales from the Deep Water

Solal slapped Cyborg Quinn hard on the shoulder, and the latter gritted his teeth and pushed the joystick away——

With a huge moment of inertia caused by the instantaneous full power of the engine, the entire shuttle mining machine slammed into the rock wall in the direction of water seepage!

"boom!"

The dull and deep vibration produced by the shuttle mining machine suddenly crashed into the rock wall caused pain and discomfort for the people in the cabin, and the huge inertia once again caused the people in the cabin to turn their backs on their backs.

There was a piercing scream-like hissing sound from the radio equipment on the outer wall of the cabin, and the hissing sound was thrown a distance in a moment.

"Hash hash!"

The manic screaming gradually faded away as the speed of the mining machine increased.

After the miners in the cabin got used to the strong inertia caused by the sudden acceleration, they adjusted their postures and looked at the display immediately.

The scene shown on the display screen is both happy and worrying——

The good news is that the uncomfortable face of Captain Prosthetic Eye has disappeared on the screen, and everyone doesn't need to worry about being turned into a strain person.

What is worrying is that they have completely entered the waters now.

It can be clearly seen on the monitor that under the illumination of the searchlight on the top of the mining machine, the outside of the mining machine has been covered by a vast expanse of dark water.

The water is clear without any impurities. It is similar to the water quality of the cave water, but it is cleaner. There seems to be a dark shadow swimming in the depth of the water under the searchlight. When Chen Yan concentrated his energy to see clearly, the water was deep. The shadows are gone again.

The waters are not peaceful. In fact, the miners in the cabin can easily feel the undercurrent surging outside the cabin——

Different from the rock mine, the shuttle mining machine is not stable when moving in the water, often a dark tide hits, the whole mining machine seems to be overturned, and the miners in the cabin have to arm each other Only by lying on the deck with your arms can you avoid possible casualties due to shaking.

Is the water in the Omega mining area so big...

As soon as this idea came to Chen Yan's mind, he heard Solal's calm voice coming from the cockpit:
"Everyone, don't panic! Aquatic mode has been activated. We are just water-logged fan blades that have entered the gamma sector. It is estimated that we will be able to land in 10 minutes!"

The words that can barely be called good news have inspired people to a certain extent, but the miners did not show joy because of this. They have witnessed many strange things happening underground, and they know that when they return to the center of the Omega sector Before, any moment was dangerous.

There were bursts of inaudible deep voices from the radio equipment on the outer wall of the cabin. The voice came from nowhere, like the murmur of some kind of marine creature, or the bursting sound of "beep beep beep" bubbles.

Chen Yan always felt that there was a voice calling him somewhere, and that voice asked him to open the cabin door not far from him.

Chen Yan could clearly feel the sound (not hear it). Because the feeling was too clear, he was not disturbed by the sound, but others were not necessarily so. He turned his head and looked around. There were obviously many miners. More or less, they showed abnormal expressions.

Weird emotions spread among the miners, and an inexplicable atmosphere was brewing in the cabin. Everyone seemed to be abnormal at the next moment. This feeling was really terrible.

After 3 depressing minutes, Cyborg Quinn, who was sitting in the main driver, stood up in full view and asked everyone:

"Do you want to go ashore and be a man, or go into the water to be a ghost?"

His voice was clear, obviously not as hoarse as before, as if he was a different person.

He has a flat expression, even with a metal head and a haggard beard, he has completely lost the wretched temperament before.

Chen Yan has heard this question before—when he just entered the ground, in the cave waters, Weber once told him a story about "Aliuge" in the smoky lake. Chen Yan remembered saying this at the time:

【"If you answer 'go to the island to be a man', you will be thrown into the water by brother Aliu and drowned, and you will become a water ghost holding the boat forward."

"If you answer 'Go into the water to be a ghost', Brother Aliu will say: 'They are all miserable people with only one life. After entering the smoky lake, they are no longer human. I will let you be that lonely ghost. Let's go." After Aliu brother said this, he would jump into the water and disappear."

"The people on the boat will drift with the water until they reach a random island, where they can settle down."]

This legend happened on the Smoky Lake.

And they are not in the smoked lake now, but in the waters at a depth of more than 2000 meters underground.

Then, the consequences of choosing to answer must be different!

Weber in front of him turned his head to look at Chen Yan, and Chen Yan saw "horrified" written on his face - at this moment, Chen Yan was sure, and Weber must also understand that what happened in front of him had already been compared with The legends diverged, and the consequences of the answers became completely unknown.

Some of the miners present were also from Smokey Lake, and knew the legend of "Aliuge" more or less. At this time, seeing the strange ghost-like existence in the legend suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, there was only a little bit of support left in their chests. The courage to move on was gone immediately.

Solal, who was closest to Cyborg Quinn, looked at him solemnly, wanting to slap him on the shoulder to wake him up, but just as he raised his hand, under his gaze, his arm slid Then it drooped out of thin air, as if paralyzed.

Cyborg Quinn, who was possessed by Aliugo, turned his head and glanced at the dark waters on the display screen, then turned his head, and repeated again in an accelerated tone:
"Do you want to go ashore and be a man, or go into the water to be a ghost?"

Chen Yan thought quickly in his mind, and based on the previous legendary stories, combined with their current situation to make guesses...

If you answered "go ashore and be a man", Aliu would probably open the hatch, causing dark waters to invade the cabin and drowning in the waters.

If the answer is "going into the water to be a ghost", the shuttle mining machine may shut down immediately, and there will be a problem and cannot be started, so it can only drift with the water... Whether it will end up on the shore or sink to the bottom depends entirely on luck.

But what if... What if you choose neither answer?

Chen Yan looked at the distance between Aliuge and himself, and subconsciously recalled the tactics that Paulkin Walker had taught him in "narrow and crowded areas", and quickly estimated that the Egret-[-] empowered bullet was from Which direction to shoot without damaging the center console...

None of the miners dared to answer Aliuge's question, the atmosphere quickly became oppressive in the silence, and the fear reached its peak in the trembling of the miners.

Cyborg Quinn, possessed by Aliugo, asked again:

"You guys want to go ashore..."

Halfway through the question, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the shuttle mining machine.

The next moment, there was a loud sound of steel clashing, a sharp steel thorn pierced the ceiling of the shuttle mining machine, and the huge water pressure shot a water arrow into the cabin, piercing through a person beside Chen Yan on the spot. miner's body.

At the same time, a nightmarish sound came from where the ceiling was pierced.

"Hash hash!"
