#158 - Man in the Deep Sea (Happy New Year)
The stone door was forcibly blasted open.
Luo Lie led the elite pursuer squad into the secret cave of the Truth Society.
Zheng Hongxin and dozens of high-ranking priests stood up and looked at these uninvited guests.
Seeing the blood stains on their clothes and the smoking gun barrels in their hands, they instantly understood that the guards arranged outside had been taken care of.
"Is this the relic of the Saint?"
Luo Lie looked up at the "Truth Stone Tablet" towering on the altar, his eyes full of curiosity and desire.
As he spoke, he strode forward, his arrogant aura of disregard for others arousing resentment among the Truth Society members.
"Stop!"
A high-ranking priest shouted angrily.
Luo Lie glanced at him sideways.
The man couldn't help but tremble, and then seemed to be hit in the chest by an invisible force, sending him flying backwards.
Just as his back was about to be pierced by the sharp stalactites like spears, a large, knobbly hand grabbed his collar and pulled him back to the ground.
Luo Lie's pupils shrank slightly as he stared intently.
He saw an old man appear next to the high-ranking priest as if teleporting, saving him.
"Are you Zheng Hongxin, the vice president of the Truth and Meditation Society?"
Luo Lie curiously sized him up: "I heard that you fought against the first director of the Special Search Team thirty years ago and managed to escape with your life. Do you still have some strength left?"
Then, he glanced at the other priests who were itching to fight, and said with a hint of mockery:
"Your Truth Society seems to be declining in talent. A bunch of misfits. Why don't you just join our organization? With your strength, there would be no problem entering the board of directors."
Zheng Hongxin remained silent, but his body faintly emitted an unusual aura.
Suddenly, his figure flashed and he instantly sprinted towards Luo Lie.
Luo Lie reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively waving his hands to create a defensive psychic wall.
In just 0.05 seconds.
Zheng Hongxin lunged forward, covering a distance of more than ten meters.
At the same time, the muscles in his arms bulged, tearing through his clothes and revealing cyan-black skin.
Bang!
A punch struck the psychic wall, and silent air waves rippled outwards.
The pursuer team members immediately raised their guns and opened fire on Zheng Hongxin.
The Truth Society members also quickly pounced on the invading enemies.
The battle between the two sides ignited like a powder keg, erupting instantly.
Zheng Hongxin faced the bullets, dodging and weaving, and with a backhand punch, he caved in the chest of an elite pursuer, sending him flying backwards.
As if demonstrating with action that if you dare to attack my people, I will kill your people in retaliation.
This kind of attitude of attacking without saying a word shows that Zheng Hongxin must have had a fiery temper when he was young.
Seeing that the bullets couldn't hit his opponent at all, Luo Lie immediately issued an order:
"Everyone, get out of the way, let me deal with him!"
As he spoke, his eyes glowed with a ghostly blue light, locking onto the rapidly moving target.
Then, an extremely powerful force field instantly enveloped the area, constantly shrinking towards the center like a cage.
Feeling the surrounding air solidify, Zheng Hongxin immediately stopped and said coldly:
"I'm just old, not dead."
As he spoke, the muscles in his body further expanded, his hands and feet became unusually thick, and even patches of fish scales appeared on the surface of his cyan skin.
He exuded a dangerous aura, as if he was releasing a long-hidden power.
Then, he suddenly broke free from the force field's restraint, and with a "whoosh" like a bullet being fired, he charged towards Luo Lie with lightning speed.
"Well done!"
Luo Lie's pupils contracted rapidly, concentrating all his psychic power to control the force field, defending himself while retaliating against his opponent.
Although he was a little surprised, he quickly regained his footing and ignited a strong desire to fight.
He decided to compete with this rumored vice president of the Truth Society.
Both of them ignored the sounds of fighting from their subordinates, staring intently at the most dangerous enemy in front of them.
As long as they solved their opponent, all problems would be solved easily.
Just as the entire cave fell into chaos, unnoticed.
The Truth Stone Tablet standing on the altar showed a new image.
It was a dark and silent sea with rippling waves.
As the perspective extended deeper, faint blue light spots twinkled like stars.
… … … … … … … … … …
Bang!
A gunshot pierced the night sky, then was drowned out by the wind and rain.
Several corpses lay on the bumpy fishing boat, blood gurgling out and spreading along the deck.
"Stop!"
Feng Kehai shouted sharply.
"Haven't figured it out yet?"
Li Chengjun glanced at him, raised his gun, and held it against the head of a Truth Society member who had collapsed next to him.
Then, there was another "bang" sound.
Blood splattered, and the bullet hit the target's temple.
"You…"
Feng Kehai was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Li Chengjun's crazy posture didn't leave himself enough time to consider.
Seeing him raise his gun again, seemingly choosing the next target, he hurriedly agreed:
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you!"
Hearing this, Li Chengjun immediately smiled:
"It's good that you understand. Cooperation is beneficial to everyone. I'm not a natural-born killer."
"How about this? When the ancient remains are salvaged later, we'll split them 70/30, I get 70% and you get 30%. Very fair and reasonable…"
As he spoke, he patted Feng Kehai on the shoulder affectionately, as if changing faces, and discussed the underwater salvage operation with him.
At the same time, the others began to prepare.
A bracket was raised on the ship, and a huge 200,000-lumen searchlight was turned on, pointing at the seabed.
Such strong light was enough to illuminate deep-water areas about 150 meters from the surface, ensuring the safety of underwater operations.
Ten pursuer team members, wearing full diving equipment and carrying special weapons for underwater use, stood in line at the ship's side.
Unlike the Truth Society members, who were all proficient in swimming, they were well-prepared.
Because he was worried about Feng Kehai, Li Chengjun decided to stay on the ship and personally guard the hostages and equipment.
His subordinate, the ability user A Jie, had already woken up and was responsible for leading the team underwater.
The main task was to supervise the Truth Society personnel who were salvaging the treasure to work honestly and prevent them from escaping.
Three Truth Society members, wearing only simple diving suits and hooks and ropes, plunged into the water.
Seeing this, the pursuer team members also jumped into the sea one after another.
The sea surface churned like wild beasts escaping their cages, surging forward.
A slight carelessness could easily lead to being overturned by the waves and losing control of the body.
However, once they dived underwater, the raging sea began to become docile.
The searchlight illuminated the area near the surface brightly, forming a clear path.
Moreover, the deeper they dived, the smaller the waves became, appearing increasingly silent.
Even the largest waves had basically no effect below 30 meters.
At this time, apart from the sound of the divers themselves swimming, there was almost no other sound.
A Jie and the ten pursuers followed behind the three Truth Society salvage personnel, constantly swimming towards the underwater rift.
Suddenly, a strange noise, like water being cut open, came from the surroundings.
Everyone immediately looked around, only to see pairs of green eyes floating in the dark seawater.
Faintly, they could also see dark green scales shimmering with a faint luster.
The merfolk had been attracted.
A Jie and the pursuer team members immediately felt a chill in their hearts, and their muscles tightened.
Perhaps because the searchlight's beam was too bright, they remained hidden in the darkness, circling but not daring to attack rashly.
Seeing this, the three Truth Society salvage workers emitted low, strange鸣sounds.
Then, the merfolk seemed to hesitate for a moment before turning around and swimming into the darker waters.
Ah Jie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how fortunate it was that the special envoy had considered everything so thoroughly, or else they would have been in for a fierce battle.
Thinking of this, he immediately perked up, determined to redeem himself with an outstanding mission performance and regain favor in the special envoy's eyes.
He then pressed the muzzle of his gun against the back of the Truth Society member swimming in front, forcing them to continue diving.
The searchlight's beam shone into the seawater, forming a cylindrical "tunnel of light," guiding their way forward.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
However, due to the scattering of light in the water, this "light tunnel" began to dim and blur as the depth increased.
A large number of tiny plankton floated within, making the entire tunnel seem like a drifting ribbon.
Ah Jie vigorously paddled through the water, peering downwards.
He could vaguely see white volcanic ash rock formations and a dark crack stretching across the seabed.
That was their destination.
A few minutes later.
The group stepped onto the volcanic ash rocks, finally reaching their target location.
Ah Jie exhaled a bubble from his diving mask, glancing at the luminous depth gauge on his wrist.
It showed that the water depth at this location was a staggering 53 meters, equivalent to an 18-story building.
He tilted his head back, looking at the dark sea surface and the exit of the tunnel, now just a spot of light, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
Looking down at the bottomless crack, he felt a sense of deep-sea phobia.
He had the feeling that a very large fish or unknown creature would rush out and swallow him whole.
At this moment, Ah Jie suddenly remembered something very important.
Where exactly was the "ancient遺骸remains" that the special envoy had mentioned?
He turned his gaze to the three Truth Society salvage workers, finding them also looking around, seeming somewhat迷茫confused.
Several of the pursuer team members raised their flashlights, shining them into the distance.
In the endless darkness, the other sea areas faintly shimmered with the described blue light.
Ah Jie was puzzled, so he contacted the surface via underwater intercom.
On the fishing boat.
After receiving the message, Li Chengjun frowned and looked at Feng Kehai:
"Isn't this your key salvage location? How come you haven't found a single piece of ancient 遺骸remains?"
"I don't know either."
Seeing the unfriendly look in his eyes, Feng Kehai quickly explained, "According to past experience, this is the best location for salvage, absolutely no mistake, perhaps it's just too early..."
"Wait, what's that?!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ah Jie's slightly surprised voice came through the intercom again.
Down below the sea surface, at the bottom of a crack more than fifty meters deep.
The group stood in the water, reaching the edge of the cliff, all peering downwards.
The searchlight's beam penetrated here, still with a large number of unscattered light particles, illuminating a portion of the scene below the abyss.
The group's line of sight followed this "tunnel of light" downwards, finally landing on the end where light and darkness intertwined.
There, they discovered a mass of unknown matter emitting a blue glow, gathered in that place.
The light was dreamlike, in strands and wisps, ethereal and uncertain, forming a fairy-tale-like Tyndall effect.
In the surrounding dark waters, many demon-like dark green figures swam around.
They were the merfolk of the deep sea, entwined and encircling, as if guarding something.
If one looked more closely, one could also see a vague human figure within the merfolk and the blue light.
What was going on?
Looking at such a strange scene in the abyss, almost simultaneously, everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Ah Jie poked a younger Truth Society salvage worker beside him with the rifle he was holding.
The young man looked frightened and shook his head vigorously.
He obviously didn't know what was going on.
Ah Jie frowned slightly, and then described the bizarre scene he had seen to the special envoy via the intercom.
"Use the subsonic wave gun to drive away the merfolk, and quickly salvage the thing!"
Li Chengjun's order came through the intercom, his tone very urgent and stern.
Helpless, Ah Jie could only obey.
The oxygen in the tank was not much, and continuing to delay would definitely be a problem.
The other team members had also received the order and successively took out their weapons, preparing for battle.
One of the team members even raised a specially shaped rifle, aiming at the blue light in the abyss.
Buzz--
As the trigger was pulled, the muzzle did not fire a physical projectile, but emitted a high-intensity directional subsonic wave.
The low-frequency harmful sound wave rapidly propagated in the seawater, forming circles of subtle ripples, spreading to a depth of more than one hundred and fifty meters.
The groups of merfolk immediately emitted low, sharp hisses, and then scattered with a bang.
Subsequently, the truth of the object emitting the azure light was finally revealed.
That was...
Huge skeletal fragments, like the 遺骸remains of monsters, suspended in the dark abyss.
The azure light emitted was so peculiar that it gave a faint stinging sensation if looked at for too long.
The group's eyes lit up, their hearts filled with ecstasy.
This should be the legendary ancient 遺骸remains!
Ah Jie immediately urged the Truth Society members to go down and salvage it quickly.
Forced by the situation, the three Truth Society members had no choice but to risk it and continue diving deeper.
At this moment, a sound like the surging of tides came from the seabed crack, like thunder echoing and rolling in the silent and empty abyss.
Rumble--
The sound waves drove the heavy seawater, setting off layers of waves, dispersing the surging undercurrents, and also washing the ancient 遺骸remains far away.
Seeing this, the group couldn't help but feel anxious.
However, the next second, they were all stunned in place.
Because at this moment, the faint figure that was originally hidden in the blue light was completely revealed.
Moreover, it became extremely clear.
It was a naked young man.
He stood quietly in the abyss, suspended in the seawater.
The light shining down from the searchlight, like drifting ribbons, gently caressed the meticulously carved muscle lines on his body.
Revealing an unspeakable masculine beauty and peaceful artistic conception.
Like the sea god in ancient Greek sculpture, or a standing Buddha statue.
Those merfolk who had been driven away returned one after another, as if summoned.
Surrounding him, like demons protecting the Dharma for gods and Buddhas in legends.
And this "tunnel of light" extending from the sea surface was set up to welcome his birth.
A merfolk attached to the man's ear, whispering softly.
Seeming to awaken him, or to tell him something.
The dark abyss that ordinary people could not reach, illuminated by light, surrounded by demons, made this scene full of a strange divinity.
It also made everyone who saw this scene feel chills down their spines, with a sense of indescribable fear and anticipation intertwined.
Just then.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the heavy seawater like substance, shooting towards the group.
The update is a bit late, I wish you all a happy new year, smooth work, successful career, and happy life!
