The Social Life of the Supreme God

Chapter 11 Lake House
  Fortunately, these big koi fish were just surrounding the two of them and had no intention of attacking.

"What, are you scared?" Huang Qin smiled and looked at the girl beside him, who was a little distracted: "Work harder, this is the last level."

"Sister Qin, I can't believe you anymore." Lin Xueqing looked around, not daring to look away from the lake for a moment.

She was afraid that these big fish would suddenly jump out of the water and swallow her. "You didn't even tell me that this lake is full of strange fish."

Lin Xueqing felt a little aggrieved at the moment. Even though she had such a harmless character, she felt suffocated after being frightened again and again.

"Are you angry?" Seeing that the girl was crying and looking unhappy when she spoke, Scutellaria baicalensis changed her tone: "Don't be angry with sister. These little carps don't eat their own people."

"If you really encounter those... beings that can hurt you, I will definitely warn you early."

Hearing this, Lin Xueqing was stunned for a moment, and then thought of a question - before meeting "Miss Songzi", Huang Qin had specifically reminded herself... that the other party was particularly "clean".

Based on what Sister Qin just said...

When I was in the same elevator with that "Ms. Matsuko", was it really possible for the other person to hurt me?

Thinking of this, Lin Xueqing felt scared for a while.

Then she realized another problem - when she fainted, Miss Matsuko seemed to have done nothing, but the other party... let her leave.

why?
  Why didn't Miss Matsuko, who looked weird and dangerous, hurt herself?
  After thinking about it, the girl could only think of one possibility - when Miss Matsuko was grabbed by the hair and bullied by the invisible "air".

Maybe he mustered up the courage to rush forward to help the other person, and at the same time, he also helped himself.

Sure enough, good people have a safe life.

Thinking of this, Lin Xueqing laughed happily. The stuffiness in my stomach has almost disappeared.

"This kid is quite easy to coax." Huang Qin thought to himself as he saw a cheerful smile on the girl's face again.

...

Following closely behind Huang Qin, the two of them shuttled through the labyrinth-like corridors without any danger - accompanied by the "pop, pop, pop" sounds of the koi fish around them with their mouths wide open.

The two finally reached the center of the lake - there was a special elevator that went directly to the bottom of the lake.

"Yeah!" Lin Xueqing suddenly shouted happily: "I knew it! The secret bases are all built 'underground'!"

As if some wish was fulfilled, the girl put her hands on her hips in satisfaction.

"Why, are you not afraid now?" Seeing the girl's uncharacteristic excitement, Huang Qin was a little surprised: "We are going to the bottom of the lake..."

"Well... that's still scary..." She felt a little wimpy at the thought of taking the elevator and diving into the lake full of big fish.

"But..." After a while, the girl cheered up again: "People must learn to grow!"

At this moment, the adventurous spirit awakened in Lin Xueqing's heart took over.

Unfortunately, this enthusiasm did not last long.

The girl soon discovered that the elevator was actually a sightseeing elevator with transparent glass on all sides.

Under the night, in the dark and turbid lake water, from time to time there would be "lake monsters" swimming past Lin Xueqing with their huge dead fish eyes staring at them.

Scutellaria baicalensis next to her also said nothing - the extremely oppressive atmosphere made the girl subconsciously hold her breath.

...

Fortunately, the depressing atmosphere did not last long.

As the elevator slowly stopped at the end of the shaft, the endless darkness around it disappeared, replaced by bright wall lights.

Following Huang Qin down the elevator, Lin Xueqing walked in the underwater passage and looked curiously at the building complex built at the bottom of the lake - the passage was connected to the circular cabin, and the cabin was connected to the new arched passage.

There are potted green plants placed in twos and threes in the corner, and all you can see are pressure-resistant walls made of alloy.

This is like a small fortress built at the bottom of the lake.

"How's it going, Xiaoqing. Is this place the same as you imagined?" Huang Qin's voice broke the silence along the way.

"Well... almost..." This lake fortress is very similar to what Lin Xueqing saw in science fiction movies. But at this moment, she was really allowed to wander in it - that unreal feeling that only existed when fantasy and reality overlapped, but it made her cautious.

Because she knew that this was not a theme park.

On the contrary, this place is really a powerful organization, built on an island in the sea, a hidden place at the bottom of a lake guarded by water monsters.

What secret is hidden here?
  Thinking of this, the girl who had been nervous all the way started to become nervous.

What exactly is the "process" that Scutellaria was talking about at the beginning?
  The other party spent so much time taking him across a distance of thousands of kilometers - and encountered various "demons" along the way.

Just to go through the process of getting to this "underwater world" surrounded by iron walls?

This process is certainly not simple.

At the end of the metal passages, what is waiting for me?
  ...

original,

It was rows of soldiers with guns.

……

There is a room on the side of the passage not far ahead.

At the door of this room, there were two rows of more than a dozen soldiers standing face to face, fully armed and on high alert.

After following Huang Qin for four or five minutes, I finally saw other people.

This was also the first time she had seen a normal living person since she woke up in the infirmary - neither missing arms or legs, nor a skeleton.

Their faces all have clear facial features, and... they all look different.

After completing these "examinations", Lin Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief.

But then her heart started to rise again - they weren't here to catch me, were they?
  Thinking of this, Lin Xueqing subconsciously shrank her neck.

"Don't be nervous, I said hello." Seeing Lin Xueqing's worry, Huang Qin took the initiative to comfort her.

As she spoke, she took Lin Xueqing's arm. Judging from their appearance, the two people, who were more than ten years apart, were like close friends for a while, walking into the path left by the soldiers on both sides.

The "surrounded by sight" scene that Lin Xueqing expected did not appear.

On the contrary, every soldier she passed by would never take a second glance at her.

This was the size of a residential corridor, not a spacious passage - the eyes of more than a dozen soldiers were all focused on Scutellaria baicalensis.

When she passed by, these soldiers wearing black and blue camouflage uniforms actually raised their rifles in front of their bodies - they spontaneously performed a "gun salute" to Scutellaria.

"Ahem? They are saluting Sister Qin... and is it a gun salute unique to soldiers?"

Seeing the sudden movements of the soldiers, Lin Xueqing recalled what she had learned.

"I remember... in our country, the gun salute is a unique etiquette between soldiers, and... it is only used when performing tasks to show determination for the mission."

So...Sister Huang Qin, what is her identity?
  Lin Xueqing thought, subconsciously turning her head to look to her side - the room guarded by soldiers.

Through the glass, the girl saw the doctors and nurses walking back and forth in the room.

The power buttons of medical and rescue equipment flashed from time to time, and the curves on the display screen were always beating at a low level. This seemed to be an intensive care unit.

Most of the medical staff wearing thick isolation gowns stood beside the hospital bed in the center of the room.

Through the gap that was occasionally exposed when they walked around, Lin Xuejing saw an old man lying on the hospital bed.

Snow-white long hair, loose skin, accumulated wrinkles - the appearance of this old woman is actually 70% similar to Scutellaria baicalensis holding the girl on her arm.
