I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

Some students may ask, would anyone drown in such shallow water on the beach?

The answer is yes.

Drowning often does not depend on whether you can swim or how deep the water is. When people drown due to physical conditions or psychological factors, most people will enter an extremely panic state. In this case, it is impossible to look at the problem rationally.

Some people cannot step on the ground when the water is only up to their chests. Others are obviously good swimmers but drown in swimming pools. Some are even drowned in bathtubs.

Therefore, at the seaside, although the water is not very deep near the beach, many people will still drown because of the fear of the sea and the strong tidal action.

Lu Tran stood up immediately. He looked in the direction of Amber and Hongye, and found that the two girls were also looking at the sea in confusion.

Slightly relieved, he came to the two of them.

On the beach in front, there was a man and a woman trying to walk towards the sea. Farther away, between the waves, there was a small figure floating in the waves.

"Help, help!"

The woman on the beach exclaimed, turning around, the lifeguard who had deserted at the observation deck on the beach was blowing his whistle and holding a swimming ring in his hand, belatedly arriving.

"Don't go, come back!"

The lifeguard was a muscular young man with dark skin and yellow hair. He shouted in English with strong local characteristics and pulled the man and woman back.

"I told her not to swim too far, but she didn't take it to heart. I reminded her..."

The woman was a little hysterical. She fell to her knees on the beach and collapsed.

Although the man on the side did not act so exaggeratedly, his eyes were red. It seemed that he was suppressing his emotions and trying to stay calm.

"You guys, go find the police on the island."

The lifeguard said to the man, and then he jumped into the sea with a swimming ring.

In the capsizing waves, his yellow hair quickly disappeared, and even the seemingly unconscious drowning man drifted away with the current.

Amber couldn't help hugging Lu Tan. She was trembling a little, as if she was afraid.

The red leaf on the side also turned pale. No one would have expected to encounter such a thing on this sunny beach.

Lu Tran himself was not very good at swimming, so he was naturally unable to offer help. He could only hold down Amber's shoulders to stop the girl who had her head buried in his chest from being afraid.

Soon, a siren sounded from behind. Lu stun turned around and saw that it was Siya bringing the firefighters and police from the island. On the other side, police officers wearing Hawaiian shirts were driving a speedboat towards the drowning person. direction.

The water here is so clear that you can almost see the bottom of the sea. Lu Jian looked at the blue water. The lifeguard man gradually approached the girl and put the life preserver on her body.

Rescuing a drowning person is an extremely dangerous thing, because the drowning person will move around and grab anything that can be grabbed, which may cause the rescuer to be dragged, especially in the sea with waves. , even the most skilled swimmer will be dragged into the tide by the drowning person in a hurry, making it difficult to escape.

Fortunately, the girl had lost consciousness and was floating in the water like a log, so the lifeguard man was able to successfully put the swimming ring on her body.

Lu Jian saw that the speedboat was approaching the two of them, and everything seemed to be settled.

But in the blue water, Lu Jian discovered that something seemed to be emerging underwater.

Just like a diver, the man was completely black, as if he was wearing a black gel suit, and seemed to be covered with a lot of aquatic plants, giving people a creepy feeling.

The man was just below the person who fell into the water. Lu Tiao saw that his hand seemed to be dragging the girl.

"what is that?"

Lu Tiao immediately pointed to that location and heard Hong Ye taking a breath of cold air beside him.

"one person!"

Hongye shouted, and other people on the beach also saw the black shadow. Everyone was surprised, frightened, and panicked.

Because no one can imagine that someone would drag someone else into the sea and drown.

This is murder!

I don't know whether the other party noticed that he was discovered, or saw the rescue team arriving. The black figure quickly let go of the drowning girl's ankle, quickly sank into the water, and disappeared into the waves.

The speedboat arrived next to the lifeguard and the girl, and quickly picked them up and returned to the nearby port.

The drowned man's companion followed in the direction of the harbor, and the beach soon became quiet.

"What was that just now?"

"Is there anyone underwater?"

"Where did that person go?"

"Is that really a human being?"

"What exactly is this?"

A tourist asked in disbelief. Everyone was extremely shocked by the scene just now. No one who saw this bizarre scene would not feel irrational and their world view collapsed. The beach that was originally full of laughter and laughter suddenly became a lot deserted, leaving only People didn't want to continue playing on the beach and started to pack their things.

"Let's go check out the situation."

Lu Tiao suggested that that thing was obviously no ordinary diver. He was a little curious and wanted to see the condition of the drowning person, and then looked at Amber and Hongye.

"Why don't you go back to the villa first?"

"We also want to be together."

This time it was Amber who said persistently. She still grabbed Lu Tiao's hand and had no intention of letting go.

"That's okay too."

Lu Jian asked the two girls to get things and change clothes. After waiting for a while, the four of them walked towards the dock.

The police speedboat had already been parked, and the drowning man was carried into the port's infirmary. It seemed that after rescue, he was basically out of danger.

Lu Tian saw the man and woman outside the infirmary. They should be young people who came to travel from Europe. At this moment, they were drooping their heads in a broken state, unable to recover.

"How is your English?"

Lu Tan asked Xia next to him.

Since there was no translator from A Quiet Place, Lu Jian realized the difficulty of communication and the necessity of mastering a foreign language.

Sia did not answer, but walked up directly and chatted with the other party fluently. After a few words, the two people who seemed to have lost all hope began to chatter.

"What are they talking about?"

Lu Tan could only understand some basics, so he asked Amber and Hongye around him.

"It seems like they were talking about something they encountered here."

Amber said uncertainly.

After chatting for a while, Shia came back with a smile on her face.

"I agreed with them that we can go see our friend who drowned just now."

"So fast?"

Lu Jian had the illusion that everyone else except himself had excellent negotiation skills.

They waited for a while for the doctor to leave the infirmary, leaving Kohaku and Hongye waiting outside, and then followed the man and woman into the room.

As soon as he walked in, Lu Tian saw a black handprint on the ankle of the drowning girl!
