The woman from before now stood inside the archway, her umbrella gone, with both hands wrapped around the porcelain vase.
At this moment, Xue Liangliang was surprised to find that upon arriving under this archway, not only had the pulling force of the water flow disappeared, but so had the previous horrifying sensation of suffocation.
He immediately began to breathe deeply, but although he kept performing this action, he could not achieve the desired effect.
His mouth and nose felt blocked, with no fresh air entering.
Suddenly, he realized that what had changed was only his feeling, and not the reality before his eyes.
He was still at the bottom of the river.
But how could this be possible?
He could swim, having spent his childhood in Anhui playing in the water with his friends, and even in college, he would occasionally join his classmates for a few vigorous laps in a swimming pool.
