Finally, when I saw that I was about to reach the island, a somewhat broken warning sign suddenly appeared in front of me, and it seemed to be quite old.

"Warning: Only five people are allowed to enter the floating island at a time, if there are more than five people, the island will fall immediately, please check the number of people on the island before choosing whether to go to the island."

…… What kind of egg-pain design is this......

I hurriedly counted my fingers, Dad, Mom, Uncle, and Dean Lu may also be there, so it will be just right for me to go up again......

But if that's just right, isn't it dangerous?! What if an unwitting child also bumps over by mistake and rushes to the island in a hurry?!

Moreover...... It's hard to guarantee that Xiaomo will be on the island at this moment. Isn't there some way for her to find my mom and dad's place? And since I began to suspect her, I found that I couldn't see her more and more clearly, and didn't know what kind of behavior was reasonable for her—everything suddenly became unpredictable.

Or...... A bet? But if Xiaomo and Mom and Dad are really here, then wouldn't I just kill them? After all, as soon as this island falls, the people on the island will definitely have nowhere to escape......

But now that we've come here, do you want to do nothing and just go back?

If only there was a way to visually determine who was on the island, but unfortunately there was no cell phone signal underground, and I couldn't just shout at the island to ask if they were all there - after all, someone had tried to kill me, and I better keep a low profile now.

Just as I was hesitating, the wooden plank under me suddenly cracked open. Fortunately, I clung to the handrails on both sides and did not fall down tragically, but because the plank behind me was far away from me at the moment, I really couldn't reach it, so I had to lift my feet forward and step up to the island - is this a decision made by God for me? It's okay, otherwise I'll have to keep struggling with it for a while.

When I got to my feet, the island didn't collapse. I breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but move my frightened leg - and I knew that there were up to four people on the island now besides me.

But I still can't be taken lightly so quickly, because there's a good chance I'm the last person on the island who can tolerate it. Once one more person lands on the island, it is likely that the fate that befalls us will be to disappear into this world with the island - so we should not take it lightly at any moment, because everything is unknown, and the island can collapse at any time without any warning.

I stood cautiously in place, carefully observing the terrain. Unfortunately, there are many raised rocks on the island, making it difficult to get a full view of the island. In desperation, I climbed up a relatively high rock, hoping that I would be able to see as much as I could, but I was surprised to find a small cave hidden in the corner behind the rock.

I knew there would be holes in the ground! Excitedly fiddling for the flashlight in my pocket, I carefully climbed in the direction of the cave through the crack in the rocks beside me, in case I suddenly slipped unsteadily off the rocks and fell from the edge of the island.

But when I actually got to the entrance of the cave, I realized that my flashlight was actually a white belt - the walls of the cave were inlaid with many crystals that naturally glowed, illuminating everything in the cave clearly and brightly.

Tsk, that's rich. I looked at one of them with a blushing eye, and I guessed that if I took it off, I could eat it for a lifetime.

…… Anyway, this crystal seems to have played a certain role in supporting the walls of the cave, don't lose your life just to pick an insignificant crystal - although this crystal is really rare and large.

But taking a step back, the market is basically paralyzed now, and I have nowhere to use it when I take it out...... After all, the money is useless.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously touched the bank card on my chest. I've been keeping it close to me since that night, and I can't help but think about what my parents are like now, and my heart aches.

In fact, what has always made me feel particularly sad is that my parents have worked hard for most of their lives, and such a little savings they have saved by saving money and saving money are useless in the end...... It seems to have denied half of their lives at once, and deprived them of everything they had worked so hard to create, operate and maintain.

All along, the two people I love the most have worked hard, diligently, and conscientiously, saving more money than anyone else, and thinking more about their families than anyone else, thinking about saving money for me, for my brother, for our family, and for the future of this family...... In the end, the reality almost mocked them and said that for more than 20 years, you have worked in vain, and this money cannot be used at all.

So since the market showed signs of paralysis, I especially wanted to plug their ears and eyes, so that they would not listen or see, not to know about the changes in the world, not to make them suddenly realize that all their efforts had been burned overnight, not to let such a blow befall them. I don't want to see them show such a blank and mixed expression, I don't want to see them suddenly become decadent and old because of this, I don't want to see them show guilt and self-blame because they feel that they are no longer able to protect us...... They have indeed fulfilled their responsibilities with their sweat, and what is happening now is obviously not their fault, but why punish them in this way?! Why can't they continue to guard that little happiness that belongs to them?!

And I have no way of knowing if my parents already know all this, but I feel unparalleled sadness, sadness, and distress. I feel sorry for them for trying so hard and being denied, for them who are only for the sake of this family but are forced to be blocked, for them who have to smile and cheer us up for being in such a situation, for who love us so much that they always blame themselves for not being able to provide us with anything anymore - when in fact they have given us so much that we will probably not be able to finish it in a few lifetimes.

Whenever I think about it, I especially want to give them a hug; I especially want to run to them and tell them that we are still here and that we will never leave them; I especially want to tell them that this time we will protect them, so that they don't have to worry about the future; I especially want to snuggle them quietly like this, so that they can feel that nothing has changed, and our family is still well together.

But in fact, even such a simple thing cannot be done now......

I'm really useless!! I was so irritated that I wanted to kill myself several times.

But now isn't the time to be so emotional – why is it so easy to lose your mind every time you think about this card? Believe in yourself, you will be able to find your parents immediately, they will be fine, and our family will be happy again in a short time. I shook my hand again to cheer myself up, then shook my head, threw all the chaotic thoughts out of my head, took a few deep breaths, and continued to walk carefully into the cave.
