Chapter 63: The Strange Thing That Happened At The Bottom Of The Lake
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Before she could figure out what that green light was, she felt her feet get squeezed, and then something coiled on her lower legs. She realized that she had regained the control of her body.
However, before she could react, she felt that the thing coiled around her legs were climbing up quickly on her body.
She lowered her head to look at it, and was startled.
She saw countless glowing green vines climbing up her legs like snakes, and soon wrapped her legs and waist.
‘d.a.m.n! What the h.e.l.l are these!’ She screamed in her head.
Her scalp was numbed when she looked at these things. She tried to struggle, but failed. She found that these vines weren’t wrapping her too tightly even though they looked terrifying; but strangely, she wasn’t able to free herself from them.
She tried to pull them off. These vines were soft and slippery, and quite elastic. She couldn’t unwrap them or pull them apart, and couldn’t even cut them off with her sharp nails!
She didn’t feel uncomfortable being wrapped by these vines, only weird. She felt that her clothes were melted, because the vines seemed to be sticking to her skin directly.
She felt her skin was slightly numb and itchy.
She actually had feelings! As a zombie, she now actually felt numb and itchy! Why did that happen? What on earth were these vines?
Before she had an answer, these vines had reached her chest and neck, then soon wrapped her head, only leaving her pair of dark eyes unwrapped.
After being wrapped in the vines, she felt that she was again in that ‘traveling ghost’ state; but this time, her mind continued to be clear.
Sensing that slight numbness and itch, she slowly relaxed her limbs. And then, the numbness and itch gradually seeped into her muscles from her skin.
She now caught a very odd feeling. She felt that her mind was drifting, seeming to float up; she felt like she was lying on a soft cloud, feeling quite comfortable.
However, before she could enjoy that feeling, she suddenly sensed a slight pain from her brain. The first wave of pain wasn’t so bad, but every following wave was worse than the previous one. Soon, she knitted her brows and woke up from that comfortable feeling.
She felt that her brain was shaken after every wave of pain. The pain got worse and worse, and she felt more and more uncomfortable. However, she couldn’t do anything as she wasn’t able to move. With no other choice, she endured the strange pain.
She had no fear in her head, and she couldn’t manage to think too much at that point, because her mind was occupied by the pain and disabled from generating any other thought.
Unlike the last few times when she suffered a piercing headache, this time, the pain occurred slowly, wave by wave, as if it was giving her a time to adapt, so that she wouldn’t pa.s.s out directly like the last few times.
As time went by, she started to feel that her head was exploding. Her face was twisted and mouth agape, exposing her sharp teeth and canines.
She wanted to scream to ease the pain in her brain, but she couldn’t utter a sound. So, she could only shout silently.
‘It hurts! It hurts so much! Ou! I want to die!’
Later on, her entire body began twitching. However, she couldn’t move or struggle because those vines wrapped her up tightly.
She felt like pa.s.sing out due to pain, but didn’t. She couldn’t tell for how long she had suffered the pain, but she never pa.s.sed out, not even when her eyes lost focus and turned muted.
When she was about to be driven crazy by the pain and even forget her own name, the horrible pain suddenly disappeared, and her tense nerves loosened.
She opened her eyes in confusion before realizing what had happened. Suddenly, a green light flashed across her eyes and disappeared. It was like a naughty little snake which was playing hide and seek with her.
At that moment, the vines wrapped around her body loosened slowly, and began to draw back.
Now, she finally came back to her senses. She blinked and saw that the green light had turned brighter than before, but then disappeared for good.
The twisted expression disappeared in her face as she let out a long sigh of relief. She automatically lowered her head to look at her feet, seeing her naked legs. She was standing in a dark greenness, stepping on a ground of mysterious black soil.
Those glowing red vines were all gone by now. They seemed to have come out of the ground earlier on and drawn back in right now.
She glanced around, but didn’t found those vines. Then, she raised her head to look upward.
However, she saw nothing but a greenness.
She moved her hands and suddenly felt that something was bringing her hands upward. She was familiar with that feeling, which was caused by the buoyancy of the water.
After moving her limbs and finding nothing strange, she turned back to swim toward the water surface.
Soon, she stuck her head out of the water, then looked around and found that she was right in the middle of the lake.
She also found that Wu Yueling was standing by the lakeside, staring at her with her eyes turned a little red.
‘Great! She came out! Why is she still there? Why isn’t she swimming back now?’ Lin Qiao sensed Wu Yueling’s thoughts from a distance away, feeling surprised. Then, she swam toward the girl.
She didn’t think that the little girl would worry so much about her.
Seeing that Lin Qiao had begun to swimming toward the lakeside, Wu Yueling gave a long sigh of relief in her heart, then finally stopped worrying.
While swimming, Lin Qiao suddenly felt something strange.
She seemed to able to sense everything in her s.p.a.ce clearly but the lake water…
She didn’t know how to describe that feeling. It was like she had a s.p.a.ce in her mind and it allowed her to see and sense everything in her s.p.a.ce, along with every change that happened here.
Therefore, she could clearly sense Wu Yueling’s location now even when her eyes were closed. She could also sense the gra.s.ses, the strawberry plants, and the randomly placed furniture pieces. She discovered that the rabbit and the few mice which she couldn’t find earlier had all gone underground!
However, she felt a strange vibe from the lake, but she didn’t know what it was.
When she finally swam ash.o.r.e and walked out of the water, she realized that she was naked.
She lowered her head to look at her body, and then she was dumbfounded again.
‘d.a.m.n! What is this? What on earth happened to me down in the water just now!’She screeched in her mind.
