"Thank you!" Lolita sniffed.

You Ai raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, saying, "So you don't know about the hypnosis either?"

Lolita shook her head. "I was just a temporary replacement. They never discussed this with me, but..." She paused. "I sensed something was wrong. The guard who escorted me here was very familiar with the commander of Shoal Harbor. It didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time."

Guard? Yu Ai was about to ask the guard's name when she suddenly felt the ground shaking, which made her shudder. Everyone lost their balance and fell all over the place.

You Ai grabbed Lolita who was about to fall forward and managed to stabilize both of them.

Fortunately, the shaking only lasted about three seconds, and then it returned to normal. You Ai hurriedly asked everyone, "Are you all okay?"

Everyone responded sporadically: "It's okay."

"Fortunately."

"What's going on?" Ruiko asked as she swung her tail to make herself vertical again, but she didn't get any answer to her question.

Everyone helped each other to get up, all feeling confused and scared.

But before he could recover from the shock, another incident occurred.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

There were three deafening thunderclaps. Everyone looked around vigilantly, and suddenly a door appeared in the air.

Then there was a bang and the door opened.

As the door slowly opened, an ancient breath that seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years blew towards us in the wind, making us dream back to ancient times.

There was nothing but white inside the door. The mermaids standing closest to the door retreated in fear.

Ruiko asked as if asking or talking to herself: "What is this?" Of course, no one answered her question.

But You Ai thought that perhaps this was the highlight, or even more so, this was just the beginning of the highlight.

Guan Landa looked at the door, turned to look at You Ai and said, "How is it?"

You Ai shook his head and replied, "Since there is a door, there are two choices: going in or not going in. But it is hard to say whether it is more dangerous outside the door or inside the door."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door disappeared in full view of everyone.

"Gone?" An Fei was so shocked that she swam forward a body length, but suddenly stopped.

"The door is at the back!" Someone shouted, and everyone turned to look behind them.

They saw that the door that was originally in front of them had somehow moved behind them.

Long Man opened his mouth and said, "What's wrong with this door? It can run by itself?"

Looking at the door, You Ai's eyes flashed with color, and he said with a serious expression: "It's not that the door ran away, it's that we entered the door."

"What did you say?!" Guan Landa asked in confusion.

"Look!" Yu Ai raised her hand and pointed her index finger at the door. Lolita beside her gasped.

Guan Landa frowned and came closer. It turned out that she couldn't see from her position. When she came over and looked in the direction that You Ai pointed, she was immediately shocked.

"What what?" Licia had been paying attention, and when she saw Guan Landa's expression change suddenly, she squeezed over to take a look, and saw a blue flag floating on the other side of the door.

"Flag? Wasn't the flag just there?" Licia turned around and pointed to the place where the flag was originally, but there was nothing there.

Originally the flagpole was facing them, but now the pole was at the back and the flag was in front, facing them.

You Ai hesitated for a moment and said, "Based on the distance between us and the gate and the direction the flag corresponds to, I think it's not the gate that is running, but we are inside the gate."

Without even knowing it!

Now that you are inside the door, you don’t have to worry about whether it is dangerous inside or outside the door, or whether to go in or not.

"Inside the door?" Ruiko's tone was so high that no one knew where it was. Everyone swam towards Youai and really saw the original flag on the other side of the door.

But Yu Ai was still a little worried. Was this an illusion? Or were they hypnotized again? Was this a dream? Otherwise, how could this phenomenon be explained?

She turned her head and saw that the others were surprised and worried when they saw the flag, with their expressions changing greatly. But An Fei just stood there silently.

You Ai thought something was wrong with her, so he swam over and asked her, "An Fei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

An Fei looked at You Ai, pursed her lips, and said hesitantly: "I remembered something that I saw before."

"What?" Yui asked.

"I was still young at that time. I didn't like to go out or play with other children. I just liked to stay alone. My grandfather gave me his collection of calligraphy and paintings to look at. I remember there was a sentence in it: 'The sea has a source, so there is a door in the hidden place. If you see it, you can go in and never come out again.' I asked my grandfather what this sentence meant."

An Fei recalled as she spoke, "Grandpa said that the place where we live is actually very small, but no matter how small it is, it has a source. That source must be very hidden, but it has a door. Once you see that door, you will enter that door and cannot get out."

Lolita listened and really didn't believe it. She said, "It sounds like the truth."

When the door was first opened, it was on the other side, and You Ai and the others were the farthest away. But now the door has changed its position and appeared behind them, so they are the closest to it.

Lolita swam towards the door with an expression of "I don't believe it" and said, "I want to try and see if it's true!"

As she spoke, she reached her hand into the door. Yu Ai and the others had no time to stop her, and a horrifying scene appeared before their eyes: Lolita's hand disappeared after reaching into the door, but it was as if she turned a corner and came out of the door!

Everyone was busy gasping for breath. Guan Landa reacted and quickly stepped forward to pull Lolita back.

An Fei said anxiously: "It's true, we can't get out." Everyone was scared to death.

Lolita's mind was now filled with the sight of her hand going in and out of the door. When Guan Landa pulled her away, the hand that had come out retracted again. Now she didn't dare to look directly at her hand anymore.

You Ai hurried forward and asked her, "Is there anything wrong?"

Lolita turned her head slowly to look at Youai, and finally shook her head at her.

Seeing that people could understand what he said, You Ai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask An Fei, "Is there anything else to say?"

Hearing this, An Fei racked her brains and thought about it, and said, "If it's white inside, it means it's cold."

"What do you mean?" Licia said.

An Fei explained: "That is to say, if the inside of the door is all white, it is cold."

As if to verify what An Fei said, the temperature around them seemed to drop and everyone felt a chill all over their bodies.
