Day of Imprisonment

#271 - There's something in the water

The small wooden boat began to sail.

Luo Xi and Dou Dou sat side by side in the front row, with the watchdog squatting behind them. The two people and a dog were playing this obviously abnormal game in the dim environment.

The only light source here was the oil lamp on the small wooden boat.

As the boat swayed, the oil lamp also swayed from side to side, the light and shadows shifting. Coupled with the various fairy tale scenes and characters that began to appear on both sides of the river, the weirdness and abnormality were vividly interpreted.

The two were silent.

Apart from the gurgling water, the boat was eerily quiet.

After a long time, Dou Dou broke the silence.

"What's wrong with your dog?" She turned her head to look and reached out to touch it.

Then, wanting to pet the dog, she touched a fatal wound on its body.

"【Undead】? Your taste is very peculiar," Dou Dou then said.

"Its master is now in Fairy Tale Town," Luo Xi said.

"I understand. You look like a cold-blooded person, but I didn't expect you to be so loyal and emotional."

"I am not."

"Heh, then who was it that secretly gestured to me earlier, asking me to stop those three guys from participating in the game together?"

"Then Dou Dou, why did you insist on getting on the boat with me?"

Shifting the topic and counterattacking are the most basic operations.

"How can I accompany you if I don't get on the boat to play?"

"I said before, your level of lying needs to be improved."

"Woof woof ~"

The watchdog made a sound at this time. Luo Xi turned his head and saw that the dog was looking down at the water.

"When did this river become so wide?" Luo Xi noticed something was wrong.

Just when he was chatting with her, the artificial river channel, which was only about three meters wide, had become at least seven or eight meters wide. Because the light was dim, he could only see some outlines on both sides.

Dou Dou also looked around.

"Logically speaking, there should be such sound and light models on both sides of this kind of touring scene. Um, did you turn on the switch for this scene?" Luo Xi asked again.

"I turned it on." Dou Dou stood up at this time, picked up the oil lamp on the hook, and raised it to shine around. The next moment, a light seemed to appear on the shore in the distance, and it seemed that someone was standing there holding a lamp.

In addition, Dou Dou had a kind of fear of this 'Touring Fairy Tale Town' game project.

She used barricades to block this place and sealed off the passage into this area, which shows that she actually wanted to cover up something. This cover-up may not be her original intention, but it must be based on some reason.

Interestingly, she herself seemed to be very curious about this matter, with a desire to explore.

His arrival was just a catalyst. Luo Xi even believed that even if he didn't come, she would probably couldn't help but explore the secrets of this matter sooner or later.

In short, she didn't understand this place, so she couldn't make any advance preparations and risk assessments for what would happen next.

"There are paddles, let's paddle over and take a look," Dou Dou said at this time, then picked up the oars on the small wooden boat, handed one to Luo Xi, and she took one herself and began to clumsily row the boat. However, because she had an elite B-level strengthened physique, although her movements were not standard at all, the speed at which she rowed was extremely fast.

But just as they were about to approach the shore, the person holding the lamp in the darkness over there disappeared again.

From this distance, they could see the very exquisite scenery on the shore.

Shining the light from the boat over, they could see a scene like a forest, with flowers, plants, trees, and various small animal shapes, but it was obvious that they were all built with curtains and wooden boards.

"Where are the people?" Dou Dou frowned, looking like she was not mentally prepared for the current situation.

Luo Xi turned his head at this time and looked at the other side of the shore. In the darkness in the distance, a lamp lit up.

Dou Dou seemed to notice it too. She turned her head to look and was furious.

"Okay, I want to see what's making trouble in my territory." Dou Dou snorted coldly, and started to paddle fiercely again, like a diesel engine with tens of thousands of horsepower. The boat shook back and forth. Luo Xi was okay, but the dog couldn't stand it and started barking.

At first, it was woof woof, woof woof!

But soon it became woof woof woof woof woof.

Like the drumbeats in the last moments of passing the flower, dense and rapid.

"That's not right!" Luo Xi glanced at the black Labrador. This dog was barking at the water.

"Wait a minute, Dou Dou, there's something in the water."

As soon as Luo Xi reminded her, he suddenly saw something huge seem to flash past under the water.

Then, the small wooden boat was suddenly hit by a powerful force, and the two people and a dog on it flew up directly, and then fell into the water one after another.

Things happened too suddenly.

Luo Xi only felt dizzy, and then fell into the cold water. Because the inertia was too great, his whole body was submerged in the water. In addition to feeling that the water was unbelievably cold, there was also an unexpected situation.

The water was very deep!

Generally speaking, indoor amusement facilities like this, with artificial river channels for small boats, would not be very deep, they would all be very shallow.

At most, it would be one meter deep.

But now Luo Xi felt himself sinking into the water, and his feet couldn't reach the bottom at all.

Because it happened suddenly, Luo Xi also swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, but he never panicked because of this kind of thing. He swallowed the water directly, then swam and floated to the surface.

It was pitch black all around.

Then, Luo Xi heard the dog barking.

"Here!"

Luo Xi shouted, and then he heard the dog barking approaching and the sound of splashing water.

"Dou Dou!"

Luo Xi shouted again.

There was no movement.

The situation was not right. With Dou Dou's elite B-level physique, someone who could row a boat as fiercely as an engine propeller was unlikely to suffer any losses in this kind of emergency.

Unless, she can't swim!

" . " Luo Xi and the dog looked at each other.

Apart from the sound of water, everything around was still quiet.

Luo Xi: "No way!"

Dog: " . "

"Find her!" Luo Xi said, and the watchdog immediately dived into the water. The dog-paddle swimming style was very efficient, and it was already out of sight.

Luo Xi himself took a deep breath and groped underwater.

After a long time, Luo Xi emerged from the water and took a breath. Then the dog also floated up.

After this guy was transformed and resurrected by the 【Undead】 card, he was actually a moving corpse. The advantage was that he didn't need to eat or drink, and he didn't need to breathe.

So no one could compare to him when it came to diving.

Luo Xi grabbed a person's hand, and the dog held a person's collar, and together they pulled Dou Dou, who had been soaking underneath for several minutes, out.

Obviously, the other party really couldn't swim.

Of course, she wouldn't die.

An ordinary person might have died after being underwater for so long, but Dou Dou's physique meant she wouldn't die even if she soaked a little longer.

But the coma caused by suffocation and hypoxia could not be avoided.

"Swim over there!" Luo Xi said to the dog, and the watchdog immediately grabbed her clothes and dog-paddled over. After a while, they approached the shore. The man and the dog worked together to drag Dou Dou up.

After climbing ashore, the dog shook off the water. Luo Xi wiped his face and looked around. There were no lights, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But something was not right.

Under his feet was grass, real grass, and below that was soil, exuding the unique smell of grass and soil. However, it was not a fresh smell, but a kind of putrid smell, as if flesh and blood were constantly rotting in the soil, and had accumulated for a long time, forming a lingering smell.

Moreover, it seemed to be foggy around. The humidity and coldness unique to the fog felt like countless dense, cold little bugs clinging to the skin.

"Goo ~ Goo ~"

A strange noise came from the distance.

Luo Xi listened.

"The hooting of an owl?"

This made Luo Xi a little surprised. He almost immediately grabbed a stone on the ground and threw it hard in the direction of the sound.

Pa ~

In the darkness, the stone seemed to hit something, and there was a sound. The hooting of the owl stopped abruptly, and at the same time, there was the sound of flapping wings flying away, from near to far.

"It's not a recording!"

Recordings can't produce this kind of 'interactive' effect.

Woof woof ~

The undead watchdog next to him let out a low growl, as if sensing something. Luo Xi reached out and patted the dog's head.

"Don't get excited. All actions must obey my orders. Now, don't make any noise, be alert!"

Luo Xi's voice was very soft, almost inaudible.

But he was sure that this dog could hear him, and could understand him.

Because the watchdog lowered its body and indeed stopped growling, but there was a ready-to-go feeling, as if it could rush out immediately with just one command.

Just then, Luo Xi noticed that Dou Dou next to him was gone.

Just as he was thinking about this question, he heard Dou Dou's voice in his ear.

"Don't move, there's something staring at us in front."

Dou Dou was awake!

Right behind Luo Xi.

As expected of an elite B-level strengthened physique, the fainting only lasted a very short time.

Her self-healing ability was absolutely terrifying.

The next moment, there was indeed some movement in front, which seemed to be the sound produced when clothes rubbed against each other. Then, with a snap, someone struck a match.

Light appeared.

The scenery around in front also gradually revealed itself with the burning match.

A forest, a path, an old woman holding a match, then lighting an oil lamp next to her.

The old woman's dress was extremely strange. It was a dirty, tattered robe, with a hood covering her head. She was hunched over and her appearance was hateful. The most obvious feature besides the bumps and wrinkles all over her face was that her lower lip drooped to her chest.

Weird and terrifying.

The old woman giggled at this time and said to Luo Xi: "Welcome, if you want to truly tour Fairy Tale Town, you still need to make the right choices next. So, are you ready?"

Luo Xi didn't say anything. He leaned back slightly and whispered: "You don't recognize her?"

Dou Dou shook her head with a solemn expression.
