Chapter Seventy-Eight: Disappearance
The first to be caught by Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing was actually the duo of Xu Ershao and Jin Buchang......
Xu Ershao's hiding method was very creative, he actually prepared a piece of cloth, and one side of the cloth was coated with a layer of blue and black sรจ, just like the face of the mountain rock. In such a dim wilderness, with only the faint light of the flashlight, Xu Ershao squatted down the hillside with this cloth, his body curled up in a ball - if he didn't look carefully, he would probably think that this was just a rock on the side of the road.
However, Xiao Qing's keen ears and eyes still recognized Xu Ershao at a glance.
"Okay, okay, I'm throwing in the towel!" Xu Ershao threw the cloth aside in annoyance.
He was depressed indeed...... Originally, I wanted to be able to draw a group with the cabbage - such a piece of cloth was also prepared, the cloth was not large, only enough for two people to barely cover their bodies, so that if they wanted to hide, the two would have to huddle together...... Hehe, plus the moon is dark and the wind is high, a man and a woman are crowded under a piece of cloth, and when the time comes, ......
It's a pity, it's a pity!!
Xu Ershao was annoyed, and even stepped on the cloth twice.
"Yi? What if the gold is not exchanged? Chen Xiao looked at Xu Ershao and said with a smile: "You can't foul, according to the rules of the game, two companions in a group can't be separated too far." โ
Xu Ershao touched his chin and smiled sneakily.
"Hmph, don't look for it, the other one is here." Xiao Qing said lightly, walked to a tree next to him, and suddenly raised his legs. A whirlwind sweeps the leaves of the legs......
Bang!
The whole tree shook violently under Xiao Qing's legs! Then, with a thud, a dark shadow fell from the trunk. smashed into the grass.
Jin Buchang screamed in pain, staggered to his feet, and rubbed his waist. shouted: "Xiao Qing, don't be so ruthless." โ
Then glared at Xu Ershao: "It's all you!" I said that rag is useless, you have to squat on the side of the road with it covered! Look, if you hadn't been caught first, they wouldn't have expected me to be around! โ
Xu Ershao glared back: "Phew! Do you think I'd like to be in a group with you? Alas, I've been preparing for a long time......"
The second group was caught by the Lady and the Cabbage.
Cabbage honestly didn't use invisibility. The two girls were also very uncreative and hid in a pile of grass.
As a result, Chen Xiao walked all the way, but just deliberately shouted: "Listen to Xiao Xu, there may be snakes in the grass on this island." โ
As a result, there was an exclamation of cabbage in the distance, and he took the initiative to jump out of the grass.
It's a little unsatisfied, looking at Chen Xiao. The expression was a little dazed: "Huh? Is that the end of it? โ
Less than twenty minutes have passed. That is, half of the stipulated time, but the task was completed by two-thirds, and in the end, only Monica and Lu Xiaoxiao were left.
However, the result was unexpected......
After another twenty minutes, Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing walked almost all over the woods, but they never found a single figure!
Even the hillside was carefully checked, and Chen Xiao also ran around the lake.
But Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica. The two of them didn't know where they were hiding.
"Yi. I can't imagine that these two women are the best at hiding. Xu Ershao scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "Okay." When the time comes, even if Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing lose this time, call those two girls out, and we can move on to the next round of the game. He thought in his heart how he could be in a group with cabbage in the next round.
But the problem came out.
Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica, but the two never showed up!
"Let's call." Jin didn't change his mouth, and he also seemed to want to start the next round as soon as possible.
Xu Ershao took out his mobile phone, but after dialing the number...... He frowned: "Yi? How did it shut down? โ
"Shut down? Are both people turned off? Chen Xiao frowned.
"Listen." Xu Ershao handed the phone to Chen Xiao, and sure enough, after two more calls, Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica both turned off their phones.
Everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts, but Xu Ershao still smiled: "Probably the two women are very cunning, and they are worried that when they hide, Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing will make a phone call - as soon as the phone rings, the location will be exposed." โ
After a pause, he smiled and said, "A few of us scattered and shouted loudly everywhere, just say that the game is over, they heard it, and they will naturally come back." โ
There was no disagreement, and soon the six young men went in different directions, some to the woods, some to the lake, and some to the land around the villa.
Far and near, there were shouts from everyone.
But after another twenty minutes or so, everyone returned to the same place one after another - Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica still haven't returned!
At this time, even the most optimistic Xu Ershao was a little nervous.
"There can't be any accidents, right?" Cabbage was a little worried. Although I don't like Xu Ershao to be courteous around Monica, I ...... After all, there is no hatred for each other.
"Will there be any tree holes or holes on this island, this black light is blinding, will the two girls accidentally fall into it?" Jin Buchang came up with a possibility.
"But if you fall into a hole, you'll call for help." Xu Ershao's expression became serious: "Moreover, this place has been developed by the company, and if there are any dangerous caves, they will also be filled." โ
"......" Everyone looked at each other, but Chen Xiao said in a deep voice: "Find!" Keep looking! โ
He was the first to pick up a flashlight and ran into the woods again.
Xu Ershao was also a little nervous, and he called the staff on the island.
There are eleven staff members on the island: a manager, six attendants, a plumber, a yacht crew, and two security guards.
As soon as they heard that Xu Gongzi's good friend was lost on the island, everyone was very nervous, and everyone took a flashlight and began to search the island in a dragnet-style way.
The island is not very big, and it will not take more than twenty-five minutes to walk from the east side of the island to the west side. If you run, you can cross it in 10 minutes.
But the gang searched for an hour, and when it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening, there was still no trace!
It's as if Lu Xiaoxiao and Monica disappeared from the island out of thin air!
Everyone regathered in the lawn yard next to the villa, and at Chen Xiaodi's suggestion, everyone told them the route they were looking for......
"Wait......" Chen Xiao suddenly frowned: "What about Xiaojin?" What if the gold is not exchanged? โ
As soon as he spoke like this, everyone suddenly realized that in the chaotic scene, everyone didn't notice that there was one less person!
The gold is not exchanged, and it is gone!!
In an instant, the scene suddenly fell silent! Everyone's face was a little weird.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, at this time, a dark cloud crept in the sky, slowly blocking the moonlight. The night wind blew gently, and the rustle of leaves was heard in the woods.
Everyone stands together, you look at me, I look at you, everyone's faces are a little weird, and their eyes show more or less uneasiness!
"Do you have a map of the island?" Chen Xiao looked at the manager: "When it was first developed, there must have been drawings, right?" โ
The manager was already sweating: "Yes! There is a drawing...... In my office, I'll get it! โ
The manager turned and ran towards the villa. Chen Xiao turned his head to look at the boatman again: "Have you seen it on the dock?" What about yachts? Will people sneak away from the yacht? โ
"No, it won't." The boatman was sure: "I have seen the yacht, and the area on it is not large, if there are people hidden, I will definitely be able to see it...... Moreover, we have been screaming for a long time, even if they hide in the yacht, there is no reason for them not to be silent......"
"Chen Xiao, could it be that you accidentally fell into the lake?" Cabbage thought of a possibility.
"Not really." Xu Ershao replied: "The shores around here are shallow, and the water is very shallow, unless it is more than ten meters away from the shore, the water can reach the depth of a person's waist...... There's no reason for them to dip in water for a game. โ
At this time, Xu Ershao had already dialed Jin Buchang's phone, but after a moment, he put down the phone, and his face was a little ugly: "Xiao Jin's phone ...... It's also shut down! โ
Shutdown?
Chen Xiao and Xiao Qing and others all had a deep face.
Because before setting off just now to find Monica Lu Xiaoxiao, everyone agreed to keep their mobile phones turned on! I also checked the battery level of my respective phone!
At this time, Xiaojin has no reason to turn off his mobile phone!
Chen Xiao...... I had a feeling of unease. Xiao Qing quietly pulled Chen Xiao's clothes.
Chen Xiao's heart moved, and he glanced at Xiao Qing.
In fact, he also had a strange premonition in his heart - this premonition seemed to be somewhat similar to the previous times when he was in distress, and his heart was heavy, always feeling as if something was going to happen, and as if there was some danger, quietly lurking nearby!
