My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 28 Audience Wave
In the pitch-black ocean, Jules hugged Ruth and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.

Along the way, he was finally moved by the other party's sincere feelings and began to quietly tell her about the incredible past.

"...When we first met, you were the one who jumped into the sea and committed suicide. I had to work really hard to talk you out of it."

"I never expected that this time I would be the first to 'jump into the sea and commit suicide', and you would follow right after me. What a fate..."

Ruth remained silent from the moment Jules started speaking.

However, her eyes kept fluctuating, and what Jules said was obviously a huge shock to her.

After saying this, Jules laughed at himself:
"I'm afraid you think these are just the ravings of a madman that I made up to deceive you, right?"

Ruth shook her head, nestled her head in Yule's broad chest, and whispered:
"So, our story is so colorful?"

There was an innocent smile on her lips, and her eyes were full of longing for the future:

"It would be wonderful if we didn't have to go through all these terrible things and could be a carefree couple like you said we were."

Jules could see that the other party had taken what he said as the truth and completely trusted every word he said.

He just shook his head and sighed:

"Oh, it's just fake. Everything here is fake... Even my appearance is fake."

At this moment, Jules is still using Jack's body.

"No," Ruth suddenly looked up and stared at Jules seriously, "your soul is real."

Jules was stunned for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"You...recovered your memory?"

Ruth winked playfully: "Guess?"

As the two spoke, they had sunk to depths of the sea that had not even been explored by humans in this era.

Even with the help of the Heart of the Ocean, there is still endless darkness as far as the eye can see.

Occasionally, one or two strange-looking fish would pass by in front of Yule, and their appearance would even astonish him, a man with a modern soul - it was really like "no one can see them in the deep sea anyway, so they can grow as they please".

"It feels like it's getting closer...but nothing seems to be changing?"

Jules looked around in surprise and didn't find anything strange.

Occasionally, he would even fall onto the protruding rocks on the seabed, and in order to continue sinking, he had to manually adjust his position.

The sound of surging waves, coupled with the endless darkness, made Jules feel a little breathless.

"Jules...what's wrong with you?" Ruth asked worriedly.

Jules glanced at Ruth and remembered what Karl had said before.

Is she a descendant of the Red Cup... In other words, she might have some special traits.

"Do you have any special feelings?"

Ruth was confused by the question:
"Any special sensation? There's nothing special... except for the increasingly loud sound of flowing water, there seems to be nothing else."

The sound of flowing water? That should be the sound of waves crashing... No!
Jules's eyes suddenly became much more serious.

Protected by the power of the Heart of the Ocean and coming to the deep sea, he almost forgot that how could he hear the sound of waves in the deep sea?
"Can you tell where the sound of the waves is coming from?"

Ruth shook her head.

Jules listened carefully for a while, and suddenly had an illusion:
The sound of the waves seemed to come from his body?
The sound of the waves grew louder and louder, but there was still nothing in front of him.

"The Red Cup drinks up the waves, usurping their authority. The Red Cup's domain is the principle of cups that symbolize desire, feasting, and fertility, symbols often associated with the flow of flesh and blood..."

Jules fell into deep thought. After a while, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Ruth, I'm going to move, hold on tight."

In such a deep sea, if Ruth were separated from him for a moment, she would probably be crushed by the water pressure in an instant without even suffocating!

Ruth nodded obediently and hugged Jules tightly.

Feeling the soft touch pressed tightly against his body, Jules took a deep breath - from the water, of course.

Then, the whole person shook violently!
boom!
The sound of the tide suddenly expanded, like a huge wave crashing down like a world-destroying wave!
Although the noise was no longer as loud as before after a while, Yule's face showed a look of surprise.

Sure enough!

The corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed silently.

This is not the sound of tides, it is clearly the sound of his blood rushing in his veins!
In this situation, there is only one possibility - that is the power of the waves!
In other words, he had actually entered the realm of the wave long ago! After figuring this out, Yule suddenly felt that his vision became much clearer, and the originally thick darkness gradually brightened a little.

Only then did he realize that he and Ruth had fallen to the bottom of the sea.

Feeling his feet firmly on solid ground, he slowly turned his head and glanced around.

The fine sand shimmered with an eerie light, like the reflection of stars falling into the earth.

Many strange creatures wandered around the two of them, ignoring them.

But none of this was enough to arouse Jules's interest - he was just staring at a strange target.

A building.

It looked like a church so ancient that he had never seen it before.

It is covered with barnacles and algae, which almost obscure the mysterious runes on it.

"Could it be that the Church of the Wave? Or is His true self inside it?"

Jules took Ruth and slowly came to the church door.

However, he was disappointed - there was no gap in the church that could allow foreign objects to enter, not even the sea water.

Suddenly, a mural caught his attention.

Although it is carved on stone, it strangely has bright colors.

A full moon rises from the sea, encompassing a coral reef that twists like a human limb, surrounded by surging tides.

This is... the wave?
Jules gently stroked the mural, and suddenly felt something in his heart, and turned around to look.

A terrifying whirlpool formed at the bottom of the sea at some point, sucking in all living things!
A whirlpool surged at the bottom of the sea, and the water pressure seemed to become a million times more terrifying in an instant, instantly crushing all the living things around it into blood foam.

Then, Jules saw a scene he would never forget.

The church's door, which was so heavy that it seemed as if it had never been opened for thousands of years, opened.

All the blood foam did not dissipate, but followed a strange path and was "sucked" into the church door in the direction of the vortex.

A torrent of blood roared past, dyeing the entire sea red.

Lord of all streams, at the bottom of the abyss, the feast that had been experienced thousands of times began again.

It was such a shocking scene, but Jules did not have much time to appreciate it.

At this moment, he was relying on the power of the Heart of the Ocean to resist this great force, gritting his teeth and saying:

"Ruth, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer."

He thought he heard the sound of the heart of the ocean breaking.

To his surprise, Ruth's expression suddenly changed.

Sometimes sad, sometimes confused, sometimes painful, but in the end, determined.

"This time... I really remember everything."

She looked at Jules and smiled:

"If I die, will you miss me in the future?"

"...Yes."

Hearing this answer, Ruth laughed softly:
"I'll remember you, Jules... If I'm lucky enough to survive, remember, my new name must be Lolita. I will come to find you, I will definitely..."

Ruth is Lolita?!

Before Jules could think, Ruth suddenly let go of her hand, and her whole body was crushed into blood foam and merged into the torrent, leaving him alone in shock.

As she died, a long sigh echoed on the seabed.

At this moment, Jules suddenly felt that the countless waves around him opened their "eyes" at the same time.

"Take my son and go..."
