The sewer was pitch black, and Baili Xin was the first to go down.
The flashlight shone brightly around, and the foul-smelling sewer looked no different from an ordinary sewer.
He had walked around the area close to the entrance during the day, so he was quite familiar with it.
Just as he was looking around, he heard a "creaking" sound above his head. He raised the flashlight and pointed it upwards. He saw that the manhole cover had been closed.
At the same time, Baili Xin heard the chat prompt sound in the system.
He opened the chat window and found that Glasses had sent a message in it.
I have closed the manhole cover, what do I need to do now
Baili Xin: Lock the door, move the bed back to its original position, and pay attention to the movements outside. Also, pay attention to safety and protect yourself.
Glasses paused for several seconds before replying: Okay, Mr. Xin, I got it.
As soon as Xia Chi came down, he went to Baili Xin. He held up a flashlight and looked around. Like ordinary sewers in reality, this sewer had a semicircular top. The hard limestone was exposed in some places, revealing the hard metal steel frame inside.
The place where they were standing now should be a relatively central sewer main channel. Smelly and turbid water flowed continuously in one direction from the canal of the middle gate, and some floating garbage appeared in the water from time to time.
Baili Xin placed the flashlight in the wastewater ditch.
The garbage floating on the water included their leftover food, plastic bags, and some waste such as hair.
He had already looked through all of this during the day and found nothing special.
These garbage are all very common household garbage. Equipment such as syringes used in experiments should be special medical waste and are not processed through this sewer.
Xia Chi frowned unconsciously and pinched his nose, "It stinks, brother, but this sewer looks pretty normal."
Baili Xin: "It's better to be a little smelly."
Xia Chi: "? What?"
Brother, do you have a special fetish that I don't know about? For example, a fetish for smells
Baili Xin: "If the smell you smelled from the sewer was fragrant, would you think it was the sewer's problem or your problem? Would you find it more terrible?"
Xia Chi immediately imagined what Baili Xin said, and a disgusted expression instantly appeared on his face, "Hey, brother, what you said is so disgusting, I don't like eating shit."
Baili Xin: "..."
Did I ask you to think of this?!
What I mean is, a normal body is always stronger than a mutated one!
Are the imaginations of the flowers of our motherland a little too wild
Tan Yue, don’t you have anything to say
A flash of inspiration appeared in Xia Chi's mind, emitting a faint light.
He is making noise and it is laughing.
Baili Xin glanced inconspicuously at the suited man Lin Xiao who followed him down. Even in such a messy environment, his suit was still straight without a wrinkle, and his bangs were all combed back behind his head, with each strand clearly visible without a trace of disorder.
Unlike Xia Chi, whose entire body looked as if it were crawling with fleas, Lin Xiao stood there with a calm expression, without any change in his facial features.
Baili Xin: "Lin Xiao, don't you think it stinks?"
Lin Xiao gave a polite yet distant smile, "It stinks, but I can bear it. Don't be fooled by my pampered appearance. I have strong endurance. I can bear extreme cold and pain."
Baili Xin silently withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."
The three of them walked along the direction of the water flow, with Baili Xin walking in front. They didn't walk very fast. As he walked, Baili Xin kept waving the flashlight in his hand, scanning the surroundings back and forth.
In the empty sewer, the only sounds that could be heard were the splashing water and their footsteps.
Suddenly, the water that had been flowing all the time made a discordant "bubble" sound. Baili Xin subconsciously shone the flashlight into the wastewater and saw small bubbles rising above the turbid wastewater. The small bubbles were stretched by the tension of the water and then burst one after another.
There are three rays of light hitting that position at the same time.
The moment they heard the sound, Xia Chi and Lin Xiao immediately shone their flashlights over there.
Xia Chi changed his previous noisy state, looked at Baili Xin, and cautiously took out a dagger from his backpack and immediately entered combat status.
Bubbles appeared in the water again, and then in the light of the flashlight, they vaguely saw something swimming slowly beneath the water.
The next second, the water surface suddenly exploded, and a black shadow jumped out of the water and rushed to a height of two or three meters above the water surface.
Xia Chi's eyes and the light of the flashlight subconsciously followed the shadow. When he saw what it was, Xia Chi breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned out to be just a fish."
What jumped out of the water was a pitch-black fish that looked like a catfish.
Xia Chi remembered reading in a book before that catfish have a strong resistance to the living environment. They can adapt well and reproduce in large numbers in harsh environments such as mud and smelly ditches.
He also saw in the news that some people raised catfish in stinky ditches because there were no natural enemies around, so catfish could reproduce wildly, which in turn increased sales. He never ate catfish for a long time because he always thought it was one of the dirtiest fish.
It’s not surprising to see catfish in a stinky ditch like this... Ahhh, what the hell!
The catfish flipped over in mid-air, and its face, which was originally facing sideways towards them, now faced them directly. Xia Chi finally saw the catfish's face clearly.
The head that originally had only one fish mouth grew three. Its head looked like a cluster of tumors, which looked very disgusting.
Originally, I thought that this was just the body distortion caused by environmental pollution, but when the fish made the next move, it almost sent Xia Chi away on the spot.
The "catfish" opened its eyes.
That's right, the eyes.
Those tumors that Xia Chi originally thought were small grapes simultaneously opened up a crack in the middle door, revealing huge black eyeballs inside.
Xia Chi didn't count them carefully, but a rough calculation showed that there were at least dozens of them.
Dozens of round black eyeballs seemed to have their own thoughts, rolling back and forth, with the whites of the eyes flying everywhere.
It shook its tail in mid-air and opened its mouth, revealing its jagged, sharp, ugly fangs.
Xia Chi was almost sent away by its ugly appearance. He stood there and stared at the "catfish" for a second. When he saw the catfish getting closer, he looked at Baili Xin uncertainly, "Brother, why do I feel like it's rushing towards us?"
Baili Xin: "..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally calm surface of the wastewater exploded again, and this time the sound of the explosion was even louder. One after another, the catfish monsters bared their sharp fangs and rushed towards them.
Baili Xin: "Run."
After saying that, he grabbed Xia Chi's wrist, who was still confused, and ran quickly towards the depths.
While running, Baili Xin looked silently behind and around him. These aggressive catfish monsters seemed to be coming only for them. The catfish monsters had strong elasticity and their bodies kept jumping out of the water and falling back into the water.
Some catfish monsters rushed onto the shore, but instead of waiting to die there, they used the strong fins on their abdomens as support to crawl forward.
Some returned to the wastewater, while others continued to chase from behind on the shore.
Behind him and Xia Chi was a long row of catfish monsters, but behind Lin Xiao there was nothing.
Xia Chi ran breathlessly behind Baili Xin, shouting as he ran: "Brother, what the hell is this?"
Baili Xin: "I don't know either. Maybe a special species."
It seems that mermaids are not the only ones in the special species laboratory.
Xia Chi wanted to cry but had no tears: "Where is the beautiful dreamy mermaid? Why did the style suddenly change when we got to the sewer? This script is wrong."
Baili Xin tilted his head slightly. Lin Xiao followed them and ran slowly. Even with the high speed, his breath did not change.
The catfish monster behind him was chasing him relentlessly, and the sewer in front of him split into two, forming a fork in the road.
"Xia Chi." Seeing the fork in the road, Baili Xin instinctively shouted behind him, "Which way should we go?"
Xia Chi, who was suddenly called out at such a critical moment, froze for a moment. Something sticky seemed to touch his ankle. He lowered his head subconsciously and saw that the catfish monster had caught up to his feet without him knowing when, and was trying to climb onto his body with its cold fins.
"Ah! To the right, right, right, right!" All the hairs on his body stood up at that moment. Xia Chi suddenly accelerated, rushed to the front, took Baili Xin's hand, and left, leaving only dust on the ground.
Baili Xin: "..."
Is the explosive power under fear so strong
After turning the fork in the road, Baili Xin looked back and saw that the catfish monsters had obviously slowed down at the fork in the road. Some of them had stopped chasing, while some were still rushing towards them.
At this moment, the water surface exploded again.
Xia Chi looked back and saw the sparks rising into the sky and was almost in despair.
Just when he thought that a new catfish monster had appeared, a three-meter-long strange fish suddenly jumped out of the water, bared its fangs, and swallowed the catfish monsters that jumped into the air into its stomach.
The strange fish drew an arc in the air and then dived back into the water. Judging from the fins that were exposed above the water, it swam towards another fork in the road in the opposite direction.
There were only a few catfish monsters left, and they gradually disappeared into the murky water.
Several people stopped and Xia Chi leaned against the cold wall, gasping for breath.
Damn, who said this sewer is normal?! It's not normal at all?!
Other people’s sewers require your nose, but this sewer requires both your nose and your life!
Oh, so I said it myself.
That's okay.
_____________________________
Live studio door.
This sewer looks normal.
Xia Chi: I was careless, damn it!
Xia Chi has been following Xin Shen for three years, but he still doesn't understand Xin Shen's copy mechanism. He is too naive.
Ahem, I want to say a few words for Xia Chi. It wasn't three years. There was a gap of more than two years. Did you forget? At that time, Xin Shen was in the Diamond Hill.
Watching this copy, I felt like I was watching an alien. But isn't this a big plot change? Just half a day ago, they were all beautiful and eye-catching mermaids, but now they suddenly turned into such disgusting monsters. My little heart tells me that I can't stand this contrast.
Xin Shen: Play normally, play normally, thank you for watching.
Xin Shen: Are you polite
____________________________
Xia Chi's endurance wasn't that bad, he was just suddenly hit and lost his breath.
After resting for two or three minutes, Xia Chi recovered. He looked at the place where the catfish monster disappeared with some fear, and then looked at the dark wall above his head. Then he swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother, where are we?"
Baili Xin shrugged, "I don't know. You chose the road. This road is not the same as the one I recorded, but it doesn't matter. Let's keep going."
"Are we really going to keep going?" Lin Xiao, who had been silent all this time, spoke slowly, his voice calm, "I don't know what's on this road, but it's definitely more dangerous than the catfish monster and the strange fish just now."
Xia Chi: "What do you mean?"
Lin Xiao: "Bloodline suppression."
"In nature, sheep will not appear in areas where wolves roam, and sardines will swim around sharks. The weak will intentionally avoid areas where species at the top of the food chain are located. The catfish monster doesn't dare to approach here, and that strange fish only dares to ambush its prey at the fork in the road, and then swims away in the opposite direction after eating the catfish monster. There must be a species that they are all afraid of here that they all dare not approach."
Lin Xiao paused for a moment before continuing, "So, do we still need to move on?"
As soon as he asked this question, he quickly knew the answer from the next actions of the other two people.
When Lin Xiao saw Baili Xin walking forward and Xia Chi following closely behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed.
He did not continue talking, but silently looked at the two people walking in front of him.
Xia Chi’s fear was not fake, he was really scared.
But even when he knew there was danger ahead, he still went against the flow.
Baili Xin was also very puzzled. Why did they give the right of choice to a player who looked useless? Did they want Xia Chi to take the blame
Just like some contestants who are afraid of making mistakes, in order to reduce their guilt, they give the right to choose to others. In this way, once others make a mistake, they can stand on the moral high ground and blame others without scruples.
Just like those people before.
Lin Xiao frowned slightly, and looked at Baili Xin with a look of unknown gloom.
Baili Xin glanced at the man behind him silently: "..."
s419m: Master host, this person named Lin Xiao seems to be somewhat hostile to you, but I don't know why.
Escape System: Hostility? Lord Baili Xin is such a good person, why would anyone dislike him? How strange.
s419m: Silly sister, people’s preferences are their freedom, and good people are not necessarily liked by everyone. It is possible for one group to dislike another group because of interests or behavior.
Escape System: But this is too much. Will Lord Bailixin be sad
s419m: You underestimate the host too much. Even if it is gold coins and points or people you don’t like, the host will not care about these.
Prisin: I can see his hostility towards me.
s419m: What are you going to do now
Baili Xin: Don’t worry, he is just hostile to me and has no intention of hurting me, so there is no need to react.
"It's strange," Xia Chi's voice sounded beside Baili Xin. He walked inside the sewer, with his palms spread out on the wall: "Brother, did you hear any strange noises?"
"It sounds a bit like someone smashing something, thump, thump, thump, thump, but not quite."
He put his ear to the wall of the sewer, and uncertainly bent his fingers and tapped the wall with the back of his fingers: "Why does it seem to be coming from inside the wall?"
After Baili Xin pulled his consciousness back to reality, he walked to the wall and followed Xia Chi's posture by pressing his ears against the wall.
“Tap, tap, tap.”
“Tap, tap, tap.”
A tiny voice came into Baili Xin's ears through the wall. The voice did not come from one place. When Baili Xin listened, the sound was sometimes high and sometimes low, as if it was moving inside the wall.
Xia Chi: "Is there an unknown species imprisoned in the wall? No way? Could it be looking for a way out?"
When he thought of this, he suddenly retracted his finger and looked at Baili Xin with some fear, "Was the sound of me knocking on the wall just now alarmed it? The person locked inside... shouldn't be a human, right?"
How could anyone survive in a place like this
Or... Is there a door to a secret room underground on the other side of the wall? Someone is locked in the secret room
But when he knocked on the wall just now, he always felt that the wall was too thick. Is it hollow inside
Just when Xia Chi was still guessing what was inside the wall, another rustling sound suddenly rang out in the darkness.
There was a sound of splashing water, and then there was the sound of something rubbing against the ground.
The back of Xia Chi's neck suddenly tensed up, and he immediately shone the flashlight towards the place where the sound came from. He saw a layer of water stains on the ground at the end of the darkness.
The water stains were wet, showing that they had just been left there.
Just now...something suddenly moved where they couldn't see.
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Xia Chi immediately felt goosebumps all over his body.
Xia Chi took a deep breath and the flashlight slid back and forth. Apart from a water stain on the ground, there was nothing else.
He shook the flashlight and was about to retract it when suddenly a person appeared in the light.
Seeing Baili Xin walking forward, Xia Chi hesitated for a moment, then quickly mustered up the courage to follow Baili Xin.
Baili Xin walked to the water stain, looked around, and when he didn't find any living creatures, he turned his attention back to the water stain.
Near the ditch, a large area of the ground was soaked with water.
But as the water stains gradually moved away from the ditch, they changed from a large area to a small spot.
The water stains are divided into two sides, with the front and back distance of each side almost the same. It looks a bit like the footprints of land creatures.
If you look more closely, it looks a lot like human footprints.
Xia Chi, who followed, also quickly discovered this. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother, it looks like a human footprint."
He paused, then asked with a half fear and half realization: "Could it be that those green-skinned monsters we saw on the seabed also exist here?"
Baili Xin: “.”
Is there a possibility that it’s not a green monster, but a person as good-looking as us
Why does Xia Chi always have the talent to make unknown species uglier
s419m complained: "It's not Xia Chi's fault. If anyone stays in a horror dungeon for a long time, the first reaction when seeing unknown things is monsters, right? What's more, when I stay with you, I have to be more cautious."
Baili Xin:
Are you polite
What's wrong with me
Is it just my own idea that my luck is low? I am also a victim!
