Chapter 17: The Island of Despair
The huge island is about 20 nautical miles from the coastal city, and it is a deserted island, formerly known as Forest Park. The island is surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, and the island is full of various plants, all of which are century-old trees and unknown poisonous plants.
It is rumored that a hundred years ago, this island was used to imprison mentally ill prisoners, also known as "Despair Island".
Eight large ships crashed against the waves and slowly docked on the beach. The people on the boat shouted and shouted to get off the boat, and the number of participants was close to 6,000. Guo Ke stood on the boat and looked anxiously at the crowd, trying to find the figure of the fish, but to no avail.
Aiqin and Xiong Di had already changed their clothes, Aiqin threw the clothes to Guo Ke, looked at her disappointed, and said, "Don't look for it, he won't necessarily come!" Guo Ke didn't look back and said, "I feel he will come." Aiqin shook his head helplessly and got off the boat, Xiong Di glanced at Guo Ke, and knew in his heart that she was just waiting for the fish, so he followed Aiqin off the boat.
The waves gently lapped on the beach, Aegean was playing in the sea with his bare feet, Xiong Di looked at the surrounding environment, and said in a deep voice: "Aegean, do you know that there is another name for this island, called Despair Island?" ”
Aiqin kicked the splash and said without caring at all: "I don't know what to do." ”
Xiong Di's heart was full of uneasiness, but he didn't dare to show it, so he only said: "We are participating in the Hope Competition, but we are competing on Despair Island, don't you think it's weird?" Aiqin continued to kick and splash disapprovingly: "What's the matter, not so many people are coming?" ”
Xiong Di glanced at the crowd, everyone had a smile on their faces, and no one seemed to care what this place was.
"Hey! Beauty, let's be a partner together? At this moment, two shirtless men came to talk, both of them were more than seven feet tall, and the two muscles in their chests were shaking pretending to tremble, and Aegean glanced at the two and turned away with a disdainful expression.
"Beauty, the two of us will protect you, you can easily take the first place with us!" A man approached Aegean and wanted to reach out to hug her. Xiong Di next to him saw a dodge, the man's hand just touched Xiong Di's chest muscles, Xiong Di shook his chest muscles violently, and the man's hand trembled away.
"Go find someone else!" Xiong Di smiled. Xiong Di's height is more than half a head taller than both of them, and his body is much stronger than the two. The two men glanced at each other, and didn't seem to intend to give up, one of them stepped forward and said provocatively: "Brother, how can you protect this beauty alone, it's better to give it to us, it's a big deal to share a little bonus with you." ”
Xiong Di smiled, pointed at the man and raised his head and said, "Hehe, these days, the pheasants think they are phoenixes!" The two men's faces turned red when they heard the words, but they couldn't do it, because they hoped that there would be rules in the competition, and whoever caused trouble before the competition would break the rules, and not only would they not be able to participate in the competition, but they might even be punished.
A man pointed at Xiong Di angrily, and then said with a treacherous smile: "You wait!" Xiong Di shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word, and the two men pointed at Xiong Di and walked away. Aiqin turned around and glanced at Xiong Di, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be quite deterrent!" ”
Xiong Di said in a deep voice: "They are not afraid of me, they are just afraid of breaking the rules, it seems that we have two more enemies!" Aegean was puzzled and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Xiong Di looked like he had seen through it a long time ago and said, "Soon you will see the real Hope Game!" Aiqin looked at the two people who were staring at him viciously from a distance, and smiled, "Really? I don't know what the future is really exciting! ”
The crowd of participants in the competition has begun to look for people to partner with, and only a few people are quietly alone, as if they are planning to fight alone. And Guo Ke has been patrolling the ship, but he still hasn't found the figure of the fish, so he sighed, and muttered in his heart: "I really don't come." ”
"Beauty, didn't I come?" Suddenly, a person patted Guo Ke's shoulder, Guo Ke turned around in surprise, but he couldn't see that he couldn't see the fish, it was him...... With a chill in his heart, he said in a deep voice: "It's you!" I saw that the man had short hair, his left eye was blind, and his face was scarred with numerous scars, and his appearance was very ugly and terrifying.
It was eight feet long, with a body full of flesh, and the skin on its arms was dark and shiny, and it looked very strong. The man grinned, the muscles on his face were uneven and disgusting, and he smiled and said, "I like you, I will help you!" ”
Guo Ke had a calm face and said in an indifferent tone: "I didn't plan to join you!" The man's body kept swaying, and he smiled indifferently: "I didn't plan to join you, but it has nothing to do with me trying to help you." ”
Guo Ke turned his head to look at the crowd disdainfully, and the man shook his body and whispered in Guo Ke's ear: "Haven't you thought about it yet?" Guo Ke turned around and glared at the man angrily, without saying a word.
The man smiled, and did not dodge. Seeing this, Xiong Di, who was under the boat, hurriedly ran to the boat and pulled Guo Ke behind him, blocked the front and looked at the man with a smile and said, "You go!" The two were not different in height, their eyes looked at each other, the corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and he left with a smile in his mouth.
Xiong Di saw Guo Ke's sad look and said worriedly: "He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Guo Ke walked off the boat without saying a word, and Xiong Di had to follow silently behind him.
Seeing Guo Ke's disappointed look, Aiqin felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, so he put his hand on her shoulder like a man and smiled: "Okay, aren't we still with you?" ”
"And me!" Xiong Di smirked beside him, Guo Ke lowered his head and laughed at himself: "It's okay if you don't come, save me my annoyance, don't follow me, I'm going to find a strong and handsome beautiful man as a partner." ”
He playfully gestured to the two of them, and said with an evil smile: "You two should develop well, Xiong Di, I am optimistic about you!" Then he turned around and looked for his target. Aiqin said with a dissatisfied look: "At the beginning, he said that he would partner with me, and he would be a friend of color!" With that, he turned and left.
Xiong Di looked at Guo Ke and then at Aiqin, stammered for a long time without saying a word, and then sighed: "Forget it, why am I being amorous?" ”
The sun is hot, and the forest is filled with the cries of nameless birds.
It was close to 11 o'clock at noon, and according to previous competitions, the time was announced before 12 o'clock.
Rubbing your eyes, thousands of men and women covered the entire beach, most of the men were shirtless in swimming trunks, and the women were basically wearing bikinis, playing all kinds of games, but they didn't come to participate in the competition, but more like tourists. And the people have basically chosen their partners, just waiting for the Darkbringer to arrive and announce the rules of the game.
On the beach, Aegean sat alone on the rocks, thinking about something else. Waves of water swept through the feet. Aiqin didn't know how many men's invitations she had refused, and she didn't plan to find someone to work with.
And Xiong Di just stayed quietly not far from Aegean, and many women came to invite Xiong Di to be their partner, but they were all refused, and the women saw that he had been staying near Aegean, and they all guessed what was going on.
On the contrary, it was Guo Ke, surrounded by a large number of men, all kinds of tall, short, fat and thin. The conversation was in full swing, completely forgetting the purpose of the trip.
The scene was chaotic, and at some point, suddenly someone roared and shouted: "Damn, look, what is that?" ”
When everyone heard this, they saw an old ship floating on the sea not far away, about five meters in hull, white smoke was emitting from the boat, like a ghost ship, and there were more than 20 men and women in strange costumes standing on the boat, one of whom was the most eye-catching.
I saw the man standing alone on the bow of the ship with his head bowed, his eyes wearing sunglasses, his mouth being a big cigar, and his black roc coat, and his cloak hunting in the sea breeze. And the twenty or so weirdos standing behind him were chanting words.
Guo Ke suddenly took off his sunglasses, pushed away the man who was about to eat tofu, looked up, and suddenly showed a strong smile on his face and said: "The person I like is really different!" ”
Aegean and Xiong Di also heard the reputation, and after just one glance, they guessed who the people on the boat were, and Aegeton was confused.
"Fish...... Fish? ”
The crowd instantly boiled like boiling water and exploded, and they all couldn't help but stand up, wanting to see who the people on this ghost ship were.
The ship is getting closer, and things are getting clearer.
Suddenly, a group of hoarse voices like old ducks swept through everyone's eardrums...... What is the sound...... (God of Gamblers .......)!
The man on the bow of the ship suddenly raised his head, and the sunglasses in his eyes flashed, like a strong laser, and thousands of people screamed in direct sight.
The island of despair seeks hope, and the God of Gamblers appears to destroy the three views.
