I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

The doorbell rang again.

Lu Jian opened the door.

"I'm exhausted, you have to thank me well!"

Qin Tiantian got into the house with large and small takeaway boxes in his hand.

"Did you go downstairs to buy takeaway?"

Lu Bian asked.

"That's right, I thought you must be short on time. If you want to get a movie quickly, you might as well just go downstairs and buy dinner and come back. How about it, isn't it very considerate?"

Qin Tiantian proudly puffed out his considerate chest.

"?"

Lu Jian wondered if he shouldn't show this woman the clips he hasn't finished yet.

It's good now, I'll wait at home to urge more updates.

"That's right, I saw horseshoe cake downstairs! Horseshoe cake, did you eat it when you were young? I didn't expect to be able to eat this in Jiangcheng!"

Qin Tiantian shook the plastic bag in his hand.

"Oh, it turns out that the horseshoe cakes are sold downstairs."

Lu Yi glanced downstairs again, then closed the window.

Qin Tiantian directly set up takeaways on the table. It seems that she went to the back street and bought some raw fried, fruit ice porridge, barbecue, fried skewers, small wontons, barbecue burritos and so on. snack.

And of course horseshoe cake.

There are two kinds of horseshoe cakes that Lu Yi has eaten, one is crystal clear, similar to jelly, and the other is steamed with water chestnut flour and glutinous rice flour, served with brown sugar, especially the second one, because it is Made in special wooden utensils on a pressure cooker, so he was impressed.

Qin Tiantian bought the second type.

In fact, Lu Jian can't remember where he ate this kind of horseshoe cake. Of course, he doesn't know where Qin Tiantian got it.

The TV switched to the news, and the two sat on the sofa in the living room to have dinner.

"Sure enough, happy water with sugar is still happy, sugar-free is heresy!"

Qin Tiantian gulped down a large glass of iced Coke, not worried at all about excessive sugar intake.

Indeed, with her junior high school body shape, even if she gained weight, she might have evolved to the level of a high school student. Children nowadays are well-nourished, maybe Qin Tiantian can't beat her.

The news broadcast some local consultations in Jiangcheng, including the previously demolished Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and the shopping mall next door.

"According to our news, Jiangcheng Industrial, which purchased the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and Fulai Shopping Mall, announced yesterday a plan to renovate these two buildings. After the two buildings are demolished, a Jiangcheng City Museum will be built to store Jiangcheng Industrial. The collected cultural relics and materials related to the history of Jiangcheng are open to the general public for free..."

"Jiangcheng police recently stated that they have formally arrested the suspects in the previous serial murder case in Jiangcheng, and the interrogation is proceeding in an orderly manner. The place......"

"Jiangcheng Ocean Park will open for trial operation in the near future. It is reported that the Ocean Park has introduced precious marine life such as penguins, seals, and dolphins. It covers a total area of ​​30 hectares, with a total planned construction area of ​​20 square meters, including [-] exhibition halls. , four large-scale marine animal interactive experience projects, etc., will become a good place for citizens to travel on holidays..."

"The Heshan Botanical Garden has seen a spectacle recently. Thousands of lavenders bloom in late autumn. This abnormal blooming phenomenon has aroused the attention of the citizens. According to the research of experts in the botanical garden, the flowering period of lavender is affected by various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light." , Although the flowering in autumn is abnormal, it is also possible..."

"According to reports from overseas reporters of our station, the recent abnormal storm in the Pacific has calmed down, and the cruise ship 'Stars' carrying 320 Jiangcheng citizens has already docked. Some passengers witnessed the volcanic eruption and the formation of islands during the storm, and left The video data, our reporter will continue to track the safety of the passengers on the cruise ship..."

"The botanical garden, I haven't been to Jiangcheng for so long."

Qin Tiantian sighed while eating fruit ice porridge.

"You are not from Jiangcheng, and the university is not here. How did you come to Jiangcheng?"

Lu Bian couldn't help asking.

He himself graduated from Jiangcheng University, so it was reasonable for him to stay here.

As for Qin Tiantian, as a virtual anchor, he doesn't need to show his face, and he doesn't need to attend any events. It's completely unnecessary in a city like Jiangcheng where housing prices are extremely high.

"Me? I used to work here in Jiangcheng, and then I lost my job, and I don't want to go back to my hometown for the time being. I met a few friends and became a virtual anchor. I can't be bothered to move if I can make money. The internet here is fast!"

Qin Tiantian replied casually.

"Have you ever worked? Shouldn't child labor be allowed now?"

Lu Jian couldn't help complaining.

"Get out, I used to be a serious idol, beautiful girl!"

Qin Tiantian patted the table.

"You? Idol?"

Lu Jian felt unbelievable.

The aesthetics of young people now seems to be a bit criminal.

"Tsk, I won't mention the past, anyway, I'm quite free now."

Qin Tiantian didn't intend to talk about her past experience in detail, maybe her life as an idol left her with painful trauma.

Lu Jian has a high EQ, so he didn't ask much.

After eating and sorting out the garbage, one of the two continued to work, while the other continued to play games and watch videos.

In the middle of the night, Lu Jian stretched his waist, and heard that the TV outside was still playing, but Qin Tiantian's voice was missing.

Walking out of the room, he saw that this guy had fallen asleep on the sofa with a shark pillow in his arms.

Lu Yi took out a blanket from the cabinet, covered her, and told his friends in the air and Lu Yi in the mirror to pay attention to her, then washed up, went back to his room, closed the door and prepared to sleep.

Before going to bed, Lu Yi took out his mobile phone and casually checked Weibo.

Soon, he saw the news about the cruise ship mentioned in the news that he saw at dinner.

It looks like a passenger on a cruise ship posted a video of himself taken in the stormy sea.

It can be seen that in the turbulent sea, there is an island looming.

Lu Jian observed carefully, frowning.

"Is there a building on this island?"

===160. The Sunken City===

After watching the video repeatedly, Lu Juan was convinced that there were indeed some buildings on the island.

However, the shape of these buildings is very special, different from normal buildings, more like some kind of obelisk, or twisted tower.

Under normal circumstances, architects would not build a house like this, let alone on a stormy sea, such a house would withstand greater wind resistance. When a typhoon hits, it may shake or even collapse.

However, the island in the wind and rain is still standing still, despite the wind and rain, the waves are churning, and it is only faintly visible due to the torrential rain.

At the end of the video, with the tide rolling, the boat left the vicinity of the island, and it disappeared below the sea level, and no one knew what it was.

Lu Jian looked at the comments.

[Is there a house on this island?Does anyone live on it? 】

[Impossible, if there are people living there, there should be a port or something, and the captain should know what kind of island it is. 】

[This is normal. There are many islands in the ocean that are not marked on the map. This is probably one of them. 】

[I have heard a saying that some islands are usually located under the sea, and only in certain special periods will they rise due to changes in the tide. 】

[Could it be that this island was once inhabited by humans, but it sank to the bottom of the sea due to changes in geological movement, and only recently resurfaced? 】

[I see experts say that this is caused by volcanic activity on the seabed. The volcano erupted, and the magma gushed out of the sea and became an island! 】

[Could there be some murlocs here, is Atlantis here? ? ? 】

[Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean, but this is the Pacific Ocean! 】

He was obviously not the only one who noticed the abnormality of the island. People had different opinions, and some even involved some metaphysical things such as Mayan civilization and crystal skulls. The discussion quickly deviated from the topic.

Lu Jian is not very interested in this kind of island in the sea. The reason why he pays attention to it is that the "buildings" on the island give him a strange and uneasy feeling, just like seeing it in Dry Water Town in the Country of Darkness. The tall tower made of flesh and blood, like the projection of some kind of evil and great will on this planet, is full of indifferent, grand, and cold texture.

"If you have a chance, you can go to the Pacific Ocean to find this island, maybe you can get some inspiration."

Lu Jian is very clear that even if strange things may be attracted to each other, if he stays in Jiangcheng, he may encounter all kinds of strange things, but this world is extremely vast, and he wants to know more about this world If you want to keep your secrets, you have to go out of the house to get in touch with the wider world. You can't get out of the clouds just by yourself at home.

After looking at the phone for a while, Lu Juan put it down, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep amidst the melodious melody of the Spring Festival Gala playlist.

...

South Pacific, Pohnpei Island, cruise ship 'Constellation', captain's cabin.

Captain Johnson Gustav had a chart in front of him, and his brows and eyes were full of worry.

"Although we have been supplied now, the storm on the route is still raging. It is unrealistic to go through the storm, and it will take several days of sailing time to wait for the storm to end..."

There are many storms in the South Pacific in autumn. In the absence of land, these low-pressure cyclones will absorb a large amount of seawater, lower their own temperature, and form superstorms that are rare on land one after another.

And this year's storm is extremely strong. According to the weather forecast obtained by Johnson, the lowest temperature of the clouds in the center of the typhoon is even close to minus [-] degrees, which means that this storm will be unprecedentedly powerful.

At present, Ponapei Island is still outside the storm, but if you look far away, you can see the dark clouds and the deep purple lightning hidden in the clouds in the distance. Any ship entering the storm at this time is looking for death .

Not to mention, Captain Johnson saw that.

"I didn't expect to meet that island. It seems that what Li said this time is right, it is not suitable to travel."

He thought of the calendar that his wife in the East looked through before the trip, and it said "not suitable for travel", and he scoffed at the time, but he didn't expect it to be so fulfilled.

If the "Constellation" was just a cargo ship, then Captain Johnson would at most worry about whether some uninformed pirates would come to his door, but this is a cruise ship carrying [-] passengers, and the people on board need to consume resources to eat, drink and scatter.

Today, the voyage is only halfway through. If this consumption continues, Captain Johnson will probably return early.

Moreover, he encountered that "unknown island" in the storm.

This is a legend among the sailors traveling in the Pacific Ocean. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, there is an island left by a prehistoric civilization. The island is usually submerged by waves and located below sea level, but at certain times, In a huge storm, the island will be exposed to the sea, and as long as the ships that have seen that island, without exception, they will encounter distress and even sink.

Captain Johnson didn't believe this. He preferred to think that the island that was originally underwater was actually much larger than it looked. It is easy to hit the rocks and malfunction, so such legends are left behind.

"only......"

Perhaps it was the mental depression caused by the long voyage. Several people on board, including the sailors, had already suffered from mental disorders, emotional instability, and hallucinations. Captain Johnson decisively isolated these people and asked the ship doctor to give them medicine. Tranquilizer.

Some crew members began to spread that these people suffered bad luck because they saw the island, and for a while, people were panicked.

What Captain Johnson is thinking now is that the storm subsides as soon as possible so that they can reach their destination.

"Hope there won't be any more trouble."
