Chapter 241 The Strange Gaze from the Sea
Crash...
A breeze with the smell of the sea blew past me...
Colin didn't know what happened on the train afterwards, nor did he know which D-class personnel got lucky and might have been luckier than other employees and avoided decades of detours.
At this moment, they were standing on a beach covered with fine sand, looking around for the "lighthouse", but this area was extremely dark, and the "Heart of Purification" Buff had long disappeared. It was not easy to see things clearly with just a few flashlights.
Only Colin could use his enhanced senses and the light from the flashlight to get a rough idea of his surroundings.
But unfortunately, he still didn't see where the lighthouse was ...
After taking a deep breath, Colin raised the flashlight and shone it on the beach less than a hundred meters away.
The dark and lightless sea reflected an uncomfortable dark green color under the pale beam of the flashlight. The waves washed over the beach again and again, making a splashing sound and bringing bursts of strange fishy smell.
Faintly, an inexplicable sense of being watched emerged from the sea...
It was as if Colin and others were observing the sea, and the sea was also observing them.
Noticing this situation, some people couldn't help but shudder...
But for some reason, compared to other people, Colin not only did not feel depressed or uncomfortable, but he also had an inexplicable sense of closeness, and even wanted to go down and swim...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lift his foot, ready to take a step towards it, but the next second, he suddenly woke up.
"No...I'm affected?"
Colin realized this at the first moment, and then immediately locked onto the source of the influence on him - the egg that was currently stored in his mind in an incomprehensible way.
It seemed to instinctively want to return to the sea...
"You can't go into this sea."
Colin muttered to himself that the instinct to return to the sea was not serious. After suppressing it easily, he sensed the situation in his body and couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart...
Now, in his body, there is this egg, the "beast transformation", the "hunger" will in the "beast transformation", himself, and the snow girl who "lives" in from time to time. It's like raising a Gu...
But before he could think about it, Colin felt the scene in front of him suddenly light up, and then a surviving armed man beside him said, "It seems that something here lighted up."
Hearing this, everyone turned around and looked at the place the other person was pointing at.
Just when everyone looked over, a little light flickered in the darkness...
Colin vaguely saw the outline of a tower-shaped building emerging as the light flickered in the darkness.
Inexplicably, he felt that something was attracting him...
This could be a trap.
But regardless of whether it was a trap or not, there was no doubt that the lighthouse was there, so he did not hesitate and started to move forward while speaking:
"Let's go, it's a lighthouse."
Looking at the distance, a simple visual estimate would suggest it is about one or two thousand meters or even further.
It’s hard to say how far it is, but it’s also hard to say how close it is.
If it were in the city, no one would notice the flickering light, but on this dark coast, it could be seen clearly...
"I don't know why it didn't light up just now, until that thing in my mind appeared instinctively, it suddenly lit up..."
Colin muttered in his heart, his intuition told him that this place was definitely dangerous, but at the same time, it was within the range that he could handle -
The premise is not to go into the sea.
Once in the sea, Colin didn't know what would happen.
He didn't know what was in the lightless sea, but it didn't give him a very good feeling anyway.
Just as more than a hundred people walked slowly towards the direction of the flashing light for about a minute, the light flickered again, and the distance could be felt to be much closer.
Seeing this, Colin was somewhat relieved. His biggest worry, that he would not be able to get close to the lighthouse no matter which way he walked, did not happen.
After a while, after they had walked quite a distance, they were finally able to see with the flashlight a black stone lighthouse standing on the seashore, seemingly alone.
There is nothing special about the structure of the lighthouse. It is nearly 20 meters high, with a glowing roof on top. Something inside emits an orange-red, fiery light from time to time.
At the bottom, Colin could also see some signs of weathering and corrosion on the walls, as well as parasitic organisms such as shells and barnacles.
Obviously, it has been here for quite some time.
However, although it looked ordinary, Colin didn't dare to really treat this place as something ordinary.
"Wait a minute..."
After reminding everyone, Colin looked at the lighthouse again. Several action plans flashed through his mind, and he was thinking about which one to choose.
At this time, Hu Zheng at the side took the initiative to speak: "How about I go up with Captain Qin to explore the way first? If there is no danger, you can come over later?"
He could also sense some danger, but he felt that the danger was not very great.
Qin Chuan on the side did not object to this proposal. If it were him, he would most likely make this allocation. However, now the power of how the team should act is no longer in his hands, so he can only ask Colin first.
You two are not afraid of sacrifice...
Colin muttered in his heart, but after listening, he thought about it and shook his head, rejecting the other party's proposal.
It's not that he doesn't trust Qin Chuan's abilities, but knowing their abilities, he can't be sure whether they will accidentally lead to something else while exploring.
Putting this aside, Colin could go up by himself, but if he went up, if Qin Chuan and others were attacked, even if he returned to defend and did not fall into an ambush, there would probably be considerable casualties.
After comprehensive consideration, Colin decided to bring everyone with him.
If there is anything, it is better to work together...
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have brought that D-level employee down by force. That way, I would have someone to help me explore the way."
Ke Lin secretly sighed. If he let Luo Yiming, who was experienced and had the ability to flash, take the lead, he wouldn't have to take the risk himself...
But he didn't think much about it. After making the decision, he said to everyone, "Follow carefully and tell me if you find anything wrong," and then took the lead to start the action.
With the two items "Revolver·Retrograde" and "Time·Stagnation" in hand, plus the passive "Fatal Insight", Colin felt more confident.
In this situation, even if the "Father of the Ocean" wanted to kill him instantly, he might not be able to do so.
He slowed down his pace and slowly approached that direction. A large group of people behind him also held their breath and followed nervously.
During the operation, Colin always felt an inexplicable sense of crisis lingering around him, as if something was watching them in secret...
But the reality was that until everyone arrived at the Black Stone Lighthouse and opened the half-closed iron door, Colin and the others did not encounter any crisis...
