Bai Youwei’s body was sinking.
Continually sinking
From the moment she fell, she hadn’t struggled, instead remaining motionless, letting her body slowly descend in the water.
The surroundings were dim, but there was a faint light from above, a beam leaking from the loft.
Occasionally, a dark shadow would streak by, seemingly the Water Monster chasing the light.
Someone had dropped a flashlight. The beam of light agitated the monster, like a bull enraged by a red cape, and it came rushing, gnawing, and crunching the flashlight to pieces! It swallowed it whole and swum off to another location, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
Lucky
Although it was a crazed monster, it couldn’t see her hidden here in the dark water as long as she didn’t make too much noise.
Bai Youwei quietly stayed in the water.
Her cumbersome dress made it more difficult for her to move in the water, but it also indirectly provided her with cover. Her wide hem, floating in the water, resembled a cluster of seaweed.
Her hand slowly felt around the surroundings.
A wooden floor, a steel bed frame, coarse wallpaper judging by their locations, she must have fallen from the loft to the side of a bedroom on the second floor.
Yan Qingwen’s people had taken the bed base away, leaving only a bare bed frame.
She couldn’t swim, so if she wanted to return to the loft, she’d have to go around the outside of the door and climb up the damaged staircase.
There’s no hurry.
The monster was still around, so she could wait until the three minutes of its frenzied period passed before making a move.
Anyway, she had eaten fish, so it should be okay to stay in the water a little longer.
However
The water was really cold
Bai Youwei thought about Shen Mo.
Was he also somewhere on the second floor? Maybe he was close by, but they couldn’t see each other because it was too dark under water.
Was he safe?
Did he get hurt?
No, he should be alright. Given his intelligence, he should have quickly realized the monster’s weakness in having poor vision. If he stayed still, he could avoid being discovered.
Speaking of which, most fish have poor vision.
People say eating fish eyes can improve eyesight, but in fact, almost all fish are highly nearsighted, and the vision of deep-sea fish has mostly degraded. They rely on other sensory organs to get around.
Hold on.
What was that clue Li Li found?
[The Water Monster’s home is in the deep waters, hiding glittering treasures.]
The deep waters
At a depth of 100 metres, only 7% of the light from the surface penetrates. As the water gets deeper, the intensity of light rapidly declines. Around 2000 metres deep, it’s virtually pitch black.
If there’s no light, the beads won’t “glitter”, so how did people spot the “glittering treasures”?
The beads must be wrong.
The “glittering treasure” must emit light.
Bai Youwei’s body was cold under the water her mind, as if stimulated by the cold water, was extraordinarily clear.
Of course, it was that thing
It could shine
It could generate electricity
The water rippled as though something big was approaching.
She slowly shrunk her body, silently tucked against the wall, keeping her eyes open, utterly motionless.
In the murky water, the light was so faint it was almost nonexistent.
She saw a massive figure swimming by slowly. It seemed that the three-minute frenzy period had ended. It sluggishly waved both of its pectoral fins, bumping into the door or furniture occasionally, then opened its big mouth, gnawing irritably to the left and right!
Bai Youwei stared at its long fin spines, and her previous guess turned into certainty.
She knew what the answer was now.
