After Father An had been tinkering with the largest wall for a while, Yu Siqi smelled the damp and bitter sea breeze coming down the gradually opening wall, and in a moment the whole room was filled with the smell of the sea.

"Hell, is it another illusion?" Gong Chen said a little nervously: "I didn't return the lamp if I knew it." ”

"I think we've found a place." Father An said, "Please go downstairs and call Ah Zhe and Ah Zhen." ”

"Okay," Yu Siqi himself has never been to the beach, and he is not very accustomed to this smell. But just as he was about to open the door and prepare to go downstairs, the two people who were about to be called were climbing up the stairs and asked, "I heard some movement below, are you all right?" ”

Shi Yizhe's expression was a little worried.

"yes, wait... What does it taste like, ocean? Xie Baozhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Are there crabs?" ”

"It's a good time to come so we can go straight away." Father Ann smiled and said, "If you're lucky, you might be able to find a few crabs to add to your meal." ”

As the army stepped into the open wall, he was stunned by what he saw. The grey sky hung over a dark sea, and something seemed to wander back and forth in the hazy mist in the distance. The odd-looking gravel forms a not-so-long coastline, and the highlands at the end of the coastline are where they are.

The whole place is full of chilling elements, not at all like the so-called 'paradise'.

However, Father Ann looked approvingly at such a scene, nodded and said, "It seems that we can gain a lot this time!" ”

"Hey, make no mistake, you have a soft spot for a place like this? I suspect your brain may have been broken by that rock. Gong Chen squeezed his eyebrows and said.

"Don't talk stupidly, how could a priest like this kind of place." Xie Baozhen said with a frown.

"I don't think Xiao An has such a special fetish," Shi Yizhe chimed in.

"See the fog-covered island over there, we might have to go there." Father Ann walked swiftly among the rubble, his hands unusually steady.

"What are you doing there?" Yu Siqi asked.

"Of course, to find out the truth, don't you want to know what's going on here? Is this a place? What exactly is the Su family doing? Fr. Ann turned back and asked, "I'm sorry, I have too many assumptions in my head. ”

"There's no need to go to that kind of place, I feel like there's something unfriendly hiding beneath the surface of the sea." Gong Chen said a little nervously: "What's more, I still have deep-sea phobia, I hate the sea the most." ”

"You and Xiao Xiao should stay here," said Father An, "Ah Zhe, Ah Zhen, if you don't mind, can you accompany me to find out?" ”

"Of course, no problem." Shi Yizhe climbed down the stone slope and stretched out his hand, catching Xie Baozhen, who was slowly climbing down, and said, "This arrangement is very suitable. ”

"Then I'll just wish you good luck." Yu Siqi knew this kind of dangerous place, and he could only delay when he kept up, and said a little unwillingly.

"I'll take good care of him, don't worry." Gong Chen found a fairly smooth stone, wiped it with his sleeve, and said, "Come, sit down, don't stand bad." ”

"Oh, okay," Yu Siqi sat down at a suitable angle, his eyes still on Father An and the three of them. Now they were about to descend to the beach, and the rough waves crashed fiercely against the shore, as if to warn everyone.

Standing on a pile of gravel closest to the water, Father Ann's expression changed slightly, as if he saw something not so rosy.

"Anything new, Ann?" Shi Yizhe hugged Xie Baozhen and asked, "If you don't mind, I actually want to ask all along, how do we get over?" ”

"That's a question, can't you take us there?" Father An turned around and asked, "Don't push yourself too hard, Ah Zhen, if you don't feel well, it's better to stay on it." ”

"I- it's fine, it's just that the atmosphere in this place doesn't make me feel comfortable." Xie Baozhen tried to squeeze out a smile, and in such an atmosphere, that smile was unexpectedly scary.

As if noticing that his smile made the whole atmosphere more abnormal, Xie Baozhen hurriedly coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I can't, Father." "The fog is abnormal, I can't guarantee if it's an illusion, and if I take you into the sea, we'll all drown in this strange place," said Schyizhe. ”

"Wise judgment, it looks like we'll have to find a vehicle to get us through." Fr. Ann turned his gaze to a clearing to his right and said, "It's good that this thing isn't particularly hard to find. ”

Before he could ask why the priest was so confident, as Father Ann chanted a spell in the clearing, a rusty iron boat covered with seaweed appeared in the clearing, with a worn flag hanging from the broken mast.

"Looks like this family really likes to use illusions!" Father Ann circled the small tin boat twice and said, "Okay, let's use this." ”

"What?" Xie Baozhen showed a frightened expression and asked, "Are you kidding, priest?" ”

"What, do I think I'm kidding right now?" Father Ann climbed up the rusty ladder from the edge of the boat and said, "It's not bad, it's much stronger than I expected, now we just need to push it into the water." Ah Zhe, do me a favor! ”

"Okay," Schyitzer put his shoulder against the back of the boat and pushed it down the slope into the sea, and with a thud, the whole sea began to calm down, and the rough waves instantly calmed down. Only the tin boat, which looked like it was about to fall apart, made a faint ripple on the seashore.

"Can this really pass?" Xie Baozhen stood on the rusty deck, looked at the seaweed that had just been torn off by Ah Zhe and said, "I'm a little worried. ”

"Your worries are unfounded, and my thought is that since the owner of this place has designed such a scene, he must make a vehicle to ensure that his descendants or others he wants to take to the island can cross the sea. Judging from the fact that this iron ship is already so dilapidated, my assumption should be valid, and it is definitely not a product of the Su family's sister and brother's era. Father Ann took the helm and said, "And look here, there is the number 1397 engraved on this steering wheel, and I have a hunch that this is a good ship from 1397." ”

No matter how much Father An tried to calm everyone's emotions, the panic in Ah Zhe and Ah Zhen's hearts would not feel a moment of peace because this ship, which had been eroded by centuries, could still sail safely in this sea. In fact, the uneasiness and trepidation have been on their faces for a long time.

Father Ann, on the other hand, leisurely blew his best whistle, which, judging by the rhythm of the tune, seemed to be a boat song.

Gradually, the tin boat they were traveling on was getting closer and closer to the fog-shrouded area. Through the fog, Father Ann saw a bare desert island, empty except for two protruding stone pillars that made the whole island seem less mediocre.

Docking the boat at the edge of the island, Father Ann jumped from the boat onto the ground, and the slippery ground almost caused him to stumble, but he was able to stabilize his center of gravity in time. This made Xie Baozhen, who saw this scene, almost shout the word "be careful."

"You guys stay on the boat, if there's anything wrong, turn around and go back immediately, and go home with them directly, understand?" Father Ann ordered with a solemn face, as if in his opinion, something terrible was hidden on this desert island.

"I refuse, Ann." Shi Yizhe said: "I won't let you face the danger alone, no matter what, I can be regarded as your teacher." ”

"It's just a music teacher," Fr. Ann promptly reminded.

"I agree with Ah Zhe's statement that the priest cannot be sent to death alone." Xie Baozhen had already taken out the round stone from her bag and said with a serious expression.

"Alright then, you guys stay there for now, and I'll go ahead and explore the way." Father Ann shook his head and walked helplessly to the stone pillars.

Unlike an empty desert island, the pillars are carved with symbols and words that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, and the tops of the pillars are embedded in the foggy clouds, making it impossible to perceive what is on them.

After a few steps back and forth around the pillar, Father Ann made a bold and reckless move and began to climb up the pillar.

Gradually, his figure vanished into the fog from above, leaving only two worried companions to hesitate on the tin ship, which didn't look like it could still sail.

It was about half an hour later, when Ah Zhe had completely lost his patience and was ready to go to the island to find out. Father Ann's figure resurfaced in the mist, and he was climbing down the stone pillar.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, the originally calm sea began to shake, and the two stone pillars inserted into the fog began to collapse, and Father An began to run towards the iron boat as soon as his feet hit the ground, so agile that it was impossible to feel that he was over half a hundred years old.

"Quick, get on the boat," Father An cried anxiously as soon as he grabbed Ah Zhe's outstretched arm, "Quick, if you don't leave, something will happen." ”

Xie Baozhen, who had never seen the priest so panicked, fiddled with the rudder clumsily, and the boat began to gradually move away from the desert island, but the waves on the sea became more presumptuous. Like a boiling pot of seawater churning to overturn the wrecked ship, there was a loud rumbling sound from the bottom of the sea, and soon the whole island slowly sank and disappeared without a trace.

"Are you alright, Ann?" Shi Yizhe looked at Father An, who was a little out of breath, and asked with concern.

"Of course, but we might be in trouble." Father Ann's right hand was trembling slightly, and some beads of blood were condensing on his fingertips.

"You're hurt, Ann." Shi Yizhe asked in surprise: "What about the book?" ”

"No, if I hadn't thrown the book away in time, who knows what would have happened next." Father Ann raised his sleeve and looked at the scratch on his right wrist and said, "Good fellow, that book is a trap, a wonderful prop that anyone like me can fall into. If I hadn't kept an extra eye in advance, I might have confessed this arm. ”

"I'll call Ah Zhen," said Shi Yizhe as he walked to the bow of the boat.

Xie Baozhen, who noticed the situation, after handing over the rudder to Ah Zhe to control, ran to Father An in small steps, took out gauze and alcohol from his bag and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Let's go back and talk about it, now is not the time to talk about this. Ah Zhe, hurry up, we need to hurry up and join up with them. Fr. Ann looked at the distant coastline with anxious eyes and said, "I hope we can leave safely." ”
