DAY 72 Newly acquired message
The younger brother tilted his head and asked, "Anyway, why didn't 'Dad' meet with your uncle when he went to look for the crystal?" You must have been hiding in that cave at the time, right? β
I also asked, "I'm more concerned about how you discovered this statue's hiding effect?" In other words, what kind of material is this made of, and how can it be flattened? β¦β¦ It's soft to the touch.,The first time I saw it before, it was obviously the touch of an ordinary statue? Isn't it the same? Then he paused, looked at Dean Lu again, and added, "Also, we still have to find the fragment, I obviously promised not to leave her alone...... I'm so embarrassed......"
"It's not bad for you, I'm very happy to have such a good friend as you. Please keep being friends with that kid, okay? Dean Lu looked at me with an expression full of my father's unique gentleness, "You don't have to worry too much, Shatter knows that something happened to you, and this is not something you can control, she won't blame you." And the child's vitality is extraordinarily tenacious, although she argues with you and complains about a person or something, but in fact, when she is really alone, she can burst out with some unexpected abilities, which is very similar to her mother. So you don't have to worry too much about how she is now, once she finds out that you are still alive, she will definitely take the initiative to come to you, and it is more important to find your parents first. β
I nodded with some gratitude, this passage is especially important to me right now. When my father said it, the weight was very different, and I felt that the guilt in my heart was reduced a lot.
"I see!" The uncle, who had been covering his face on the side, suddenly raised his head again and said to his younger brother, "The reason why I didn't meet my brother-in-law, your father, in that crystal cave must be because we were studying the warning sign in front of that suspension bridge at that time!" β
"Huh?" I couldn't turn around when I was suddenly broken by the warm atmosphere, "What warning signs?" β
"It's the sign that says what kind of floating island, and what if there are more than five people, the island will fall immediately, warning us to confirm the number of people on the island before going to the island." Dean Lu helped explain.
"Oh! That's the brand! I've seen it too, but it's just an ordinary warning sign, what's wrong with that? I clasped my hands together in a flash of realization, and then couldn't help but ask, confused.
"We noticed that there were some words on the sign that were painted later, and they were very new." Dean Lu's expression was very serious, "It's so new that if you touch it lightly, you can still get those paints...... However, the color tone was deliberately darkened by the person who changed it, and it looked no different from the old text on the sign. If it weren't for your uncle's accidental trip and his palm rubbing there, we wouldn't have found out...... The number of people on the warning board, that is, the 'five', has been changed, but the paint on it has been erased, and the original words at the bottom should be 'six'. β
"Six?!" My brother and I both looked at each other, and both thought about what that meantβit was quite possible that the person who had changed the warning sign had been lying in ambush on the island, secretly watching something. It's even possible that you witnessed everything that happened before.
"Yes, that's why we gave up on leaving the island and re-landed on it, wanting to venture out and find the sixth person who was probably hiding and snooping somewhere on the island." Uncle's expression became serious, "Then I want to ask him why he did this...... I feel that changing his handwriting is far more simple than trying to play a simple prank. β
I pursed my lips tightly: who the hell is it?! To do this kind of thing...... Did he really hide on the island after changing the handwriting? So, did this person fall with the island just now? Right now in this mound beneath us?!
It's also possible that after TA changed the brand, he didn't find any useful information and left the island again......
No...... It's also possible that the person was actually on the island all the time - even if the sign was changed, the number of people on the island didn't end up being full of six, giving us the illusion that we couldn't find a sixth person. So it's actually possible that the person who changed the warning sign was between the five of us who were known to be on the island at the time.
If it's the first possibility, then ...... I immediately thought of Xiaomo again. I don't know how much else she has on her?! Could it be that the pure impression she left us in the dormitory was just a pretentious illusion?!
I scratched at the top of my head in frustration: how come the unknown mysteries are gathering more and more? And there are no signs that the truth is about to come out? What can be trusted, and which are just cold and cruel disguises?
"Anyway, let's get out of here first. Nothing good has happened since they came in, and Mom and Dad have already gotten what they wanted, and they are probably out of the secret way, right? Then we don't have much reason to stay......" said the younger brother with a frown.
"You're going to let us leave the pieces behind, Ono...... And Xiaomo? I immediately glared at him.
"But it's just a waste of time. Isn't there enough waste at the moment? The younger brother replied unconvinced, and then persuaded in a soft tone, "We can leave them a message, and if they come out and see it, they will naturally come out to look for us." β
"But Ono is in a state of being abducted now? What if we're all gone?! He's your sister's savior!! I crossed my hands on my hips and said with an unkind face, "Besides, it's one thing not to take the initiative to find the pieces, it's another thing to really choose to abandon her when you leave the secret passage, I can't do such a cold-blooded thing." β
My brother's face sank, and for the first time, he yelled at me angrily, "Then it doesn't matter if there is any danger to 'Mom and Dad' outside?!" β
Uncle saw that the atmosphere before us was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward and inserted himself into the middle of us to play a round: "Okay, okay, you guys are actually thinking about things that are not wrong, but there is a little conflict between each other, which is a very normal thing in interpersonal communication." β
"Yes, yes, there's another way to solve this. It's you who go to find your 'mom and dad', and your uncle and I go separately to find Xiaomo, Ono and my daughter. Dean Lu also persuaded.
My brother and I began to feel a little embarrassed: in fact, things have developed to this point, and he and I don't want to be separated from the people we have met with so hard, especially since one of them is our blood relative, and the other is Dean Lu, who seems to know a lot of important information. But this proposal is indeed the most desirable and efficient solution at the moment, so my brother and I had to make concessions after deep contradictions and entanglements.
