Chapter 379 Entering the Bottom of the Lake
"There are no ghosts in this world." Charlene said calmly.

"The sound doesn't come from the ground." Anton said lying on the grass, "it floats in the air."

"Everyone go back to the cave first." Wolfe looked around vigilantly, "Then all defensive departments take turns to open their shields."

Everyone rushed back to the cave when they heard the words, huddled together, for fear of being dragged into the lake by the water ghost.

Four and ten minutes later, the rain stopped and so did those mysterious rustling noises.

Soon, the sun showed a ray of light from behind the mountain, and a beautiful rainbow rose in the canyon, which was reflected on the lake to form a fairytale-like scenery.

"That strange sound, could it be caused by the rain?" Phoebe said while looking outside.

"Captain, I have something to tell you. I don't know if it has anything to do with the strange noise just now." Cang Ling told Wolfe about his dream last night.

"You said you dreamed that many humans walked into the lake?" Wolfe immediately showed a focused expression.

"Yes, and it looks very calm, not like being forced or committing suicide. There was no struggle after entering the lake."

"Do they look like Gao Huan people?"

"One thing... I'm not sure. But they're wearing clothes I've never seen before. And they look very thin, and everyone has prominent cheekbones."

"Have you had contact with them?"

"No, in the dream my body is transparent, like a bystander."

"Did they have any suggestive movements or expressions?"

"No—oh, no! Everyone who entered the water looked up at me, but I don't know what it means."

"Could it be that this lake has inspired some kind of memory in you?" Wolff turned his head and glanced at the lake.

"Captain, look!" Platina noticed something at this moment, and ran to Felton with a compass in hand.

"The compass is out of order," Platina said, pointing to the needle.

Felton took a look at the compass and frowned: "There must be a large magnetite here, so the compass will fail."

Hearing what they said, Wolf also took out the compass. Sure enough, the pointer of the compass deviated by nearly 60 degrees.

"The sound of walking last night and the phantom Zero saw may be related to this magnetite." Wolfe speculated.

"My hometown is by the sea, and I heard from the old man that there are occasional sea magnetic phenomena on the seashore." Anton interjected, "It's the phantom of the city on the ground that appears in the sky. Maybe this is what the squad leader saw."

"Stones can also record and play images?" Felton asked suspiciously.

Wolf thought for a moment, then said, "The footsteps might be magnetite. The phantoms shouldn't be. Those phantoms should be Zero's dream."

"Captain, I have a bold guess!" Cang Ling suddenly thought of something, "Could this lake be Canglang Lake? Are those ghosts entering the bottom of the lake the hints left by Gao Huan?"

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"This lake is Canglang Lake? It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" Phoebe said.

"From the perspective, this lake is located in the southeast, not in the middle." Kali carefully compared the map.

"Zero, do you have any impression of this lake?" Wolfe asked.

"No... not at all. But the dream last night is indeed like some hint, or reprocessing of memory fragments."

"Reprocessing of memory fragments?"

"Yes, that's what Dr. Messing said. She said that the human brain sometimes weaves reality and fantasy together to form half-truth and half-false memories."

"And which parts of your dream are real and which parts are false?" Felton asked.

Cang Ling thought about it for a while, and replied: "It should be true to enter the bottom of the lake. The message left by the Gaohuan people is 'weapons to eliminate aliens are in Canglang Lake', so the hint in the dream probably wants to tell us that the weapon Hide at the bottom of the lake."

"Wait, did you make up the weapon at the bottom of the lake and project it into your dream?" Felton asked.

"No, I never thought about it that way." Cang Ling hurriedly said, "My own guess is that there is a research institute by the lake or on the island in the center of the lake, and the weapons are hidden in the research institute."

"But we all know that the Gaohuan people all went underground in order to avoid the night demons. They can't live on the edge of the lake in a dignified manner. Are you confusing the underground with the bottom of the lake?"

"I really haven't thought about it that way."

"If the part that goes into the bottom of the lake is real," Wolfe said, "then the lake in the dream is the lake in front of you?"

"This... I didn't pay attention to the lake at the time, and it was very dark around, and the field of vision was very narrow."

"It's also possible that you saw this lake, then thought of Canglang Lake, combined with your own fantasy, and made this dream."

"I really never imagined that the weapon is at the bottom of the lake. Wouldn't it be eroded by the water?" Cang Lang emphasized again.

"It's simple. Let's go to the lake to confirm." Wolfe walked to the lake, "The lake is not big, it should be less than 20 acres, and it won't take much time to search."

"It would be troublesome if the weapon was only the size of a needle tip," Ryan interjected.

"Can a needle-sized weapon deal with Night Demon?" Felton punched Ryan in the head.

"I'll go down!" Anton volunteered.

"I'll go too." Charlene also stood up.

Wolf thought for a while, and said, "Everyone takes turns, two people at a time, each searching half an acre, and marking the searched area with fluorite."

"Yes!" Everyone immediately lined up and prepared to take turns to go into the water.

After searching for a whole day and a half, I found nothing.The bottom of the lake is full of moss and water plants, but nothing.

"Is that dream really my fantasy?" Cang Ling became a little anxious, "But I always feel that things are not so simple..."

"Maybe it's true at the bottom of the lake, but not this lake," Phoebe said.

"It really can't be such a coincidence. We just stumbled here by accident. If this lake is really Canglang Lake, it would be too coincidental. No novel dares to write like this." Kali replied.

"It's not a complete coincidence." Anton said from the side, "Canglang Lake is roughly located in the middle, and the vicinity is all possible areas."

"Since you can't find it, let's withdraw! Go to other places and continue searching." Felton said to Wolfe.

"No, I don't think Zero's dream was accidental, let alone imagination. This lake must have some connection with our goal." Wolfe said decisively.

"Could it be that there is an underground lake under this lake?" Hearing this, Cang Ling suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Kali! Do you still remember the way the headquarters searched the underground cavity during the underground battle?"

"remember."

"Can you use that method to detect whether there is a hole in the bottom of the lake?"

"Yes, but I have to go into the water to detect, otherwise the lake water will affect the detection accuracy."

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, please go and detect it."

"It's a small matter." Kali took off her boots, walked to the lake and jumped down.
