Book 2: Chapter 16: Go Home—Funny Uncle

I looked at Black Glasses, because there was a reason for my analysis.

This happened during the time I went to Thunder City. After Black Glasses was hired by Uncle Two, his initial whereabouts became a mystery. But it was obviously a very important part of Uncle Two's plan. This whole Thunder City affair was extremely difficult, especially when it came to the information Uncle Three left us there. That information revealed that there was a layer of events buried under the superficial logic.

While investigating this matter, we found that regrets were almost always the source of motivation for people. And among the people Uncle Two had hired, I found that he specially selected people with huge regrets in their hearts. Of course, I wondered who in this world didn't have regrets, but not everyone was obsessed with them. Fatty wasnt, so it was hard for him to be driven by obsession.

What was Black Glasses regret? Did he even have a huge obsession? What kind of existence was his eye disease in his heart? I didnt think a man would let himself go blind, even if he had already prepared himself for it. Black Glasses told me that if he became completely blind, his situation would become very difficult. This kind of hardship was beyond my imagination.

"I did it for the money, not to cure my eyes. Black Glasses denied my theory. "Alleviating regrets is your Wu familys trademark. Dont lump me in with you."

"Just tell me if Im right," I said as I looked at Black Glasses. I had seen the Extreme Sea monument for the first time in the Taoist temple in Yangjia Village. Later, I learned about the Extreme Seas underground river from the murals in the South Sea Kings tomb. If the area beneath Mute Village was connected with the Extreme Sea, then there would be traces of the Extreme Sea monument there.

He nodded. "What you said is generally accurate.

Then, according to my understanding of your character, youll start working on the thing on Chuchu's back."

"You know what Ill do?"

"I have a general idea," I said.

He skimmed past all of the fishing nets and fell directly into the underground river.

He was able to tell the depth of the river from the sounds of the water, but since it depended on the geographical environment, this wasnt always this case. Despite the risk, he really didnt care all that much.

Luckily, this wasnt one of the exceptions and he fell into the cold underground river and surfaced. The thing on his back didnt leave him, so the two of them followed the surging current into the depths of the underground river.

"Its just us now," Black Glasses said to the thing on the back of his neck.

In his eyes, the underground river scenery began to appear. He saw that the river was very deep and the volume of water was particularly large. He could even vaguely see underwater. There were the ruins of a lot of huge buildings on both sides of the riverbed and the water level here wasnt that high.

He dove into the water, took out a capsule from the cosmetic rubber on his leg, and crushed it. Fluorescent powder entered the water and moved along the current with him. In his eyes, it was like countless fluorescent creatures were shining all at once, making the remains of the ancient buildings below very clear.

His irises reflected these lights like small galaxies

"Stop," Black Glasses turned his head and said to me. "It's too cheesy."

I ignored him and continued, "Then you saw the key result of this investigation: a statue in the water. Right?"

Black Glasses shook his head. "First of all, I secretly tied a rope around her before pushing her down. There werent any fishing nets below. Second of all, what I saw in the water was a row of figurines. They were weighed down with rocks and sunk into the water."
