At this moment, Fan Meinan seemed to know nothing about the unexpected visitor behind him.

She seemed to be completely attracted by the handwriting on the load-bearing pillar, ignoring other things around her, but the next moment, Fan Meinan suddenly turned around without warning, and at the same time turned the flashlight in her hand behind her.

- The place where the beam hits is empty.

But Fan Meinan didn't let her guard down, not long ago she suddenly had a feeling in her heart that she was being watched by someone, considering where she was now, the person who came was obviously not a good person, but Fan Meinan didn't show any panicked expression like ordinary people.

Instead, she pretended to be observing the handwriting, and quickly turned around as the guy behind her gradually let her guard down and paralyzed his carelessness, a trick that unfortunately didn't help her catch the voyeur.

Delusion?

Fan Meinan didn't think so, she lifted the flashlight up again, and shone it further ahead, where was the tunnel where the snakes gushed out before.

Fan Meinan hesitated, she felt that what the person who had left the words on the load-bearing pillar before probably referred to this tunnel, unlike the tunnel that they walked in an endless and endless loop, this tunnel should not have the problem of being trapped because snakes can crawl out freely, but there are likely other dangers inside.

Just when Fan Meinan was hesitating whether she should go in and have a look, she heard a clanging sound behind her.

The voice was very close to her, probably less than two meters away, and the vigilance in Fan Meinan's heart also climbed to the peak, she didn't hesitate, and rolled forward to distance herself directly from the comer, and then turned around.

But then she froze, for what appeared in front of her was not a monster of terrible form, but a white kitten.

The little white cat had neatly combed hair all over its body, without a trace of variegation, its nails had been carefully trimmed, and there was a small yellow bell around its neck, from which the previous jingle sound came from.

When Fan Meinan turned her gaze to the little white cat, the little white cat was also looking at her, the eyes of one person and one cat intersected, and then the little white cat leisurely licked her paws.

Fan Meinan took another half step back vigilantly.

This subway line has been abandoned for more than 50 years, no one has come down, and there are no creatures in the tunnel they walked through before, and the other tunnel is the nest of snakes, so where did this little white cat come from?

In addition, it is obvious that it is not a wild cat scurrying around the road, and the presence of a well-cared for domestic cat here is in itself very abnormal.

Fan Meinan had been recalling the records related to Jörmungård in Norse mythology before, and when she saw this white cat, she suddenly remembered one of the stories.

It is said that Thor once visited the land of giants, and the king of the giants knew that Thor was born with divine powers, and his strength was the head of the gods, so he came up with an exam question to make it difficult for Thor, and he asked Thor to lift his cat.

Thor was also very confident in his own strength, and walked up confidently when he heard this, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only lift one leg of the cat at most, which surprised Thor, and then under his repeated questioning, the Giant King finally told him the truth, saying that the cat was actually the strongest monster in the Giant Clan, Jörmungadr.

It was also the first meeting between Thor, the god of thunder, and the earthly python, two lifelong enemies.

Thinking of this story and looking at the cute little white cat in front of him, Fan Meinan's hairs all over her body stood upside down.

…………

It has been two hours since Zhang Heng went to the island, of course, most of his time before was used to dry clothes and equipment, leaving the beach was forty minutes ago, and there was a delay for a while in order to study those red pebbles, fortunately, the area of this island is not particularly large, Zhang Heng later sped up, and he was about to go to the center at this time.

It's not that he's in a hurry, and he's not willing to take it one step at a time. The main reason is that there is nothing else on the island except for those rocks and pebbles, and the scenery on the road is basically the same, even if Zhang Heng wants to spend time, there is nothing else to study.

He simply didn't delay any longer, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a huge red earth surrounded Zhang Heng's eyes, and the height of the mud wall was about seven or eight meters, completely surrounding the center of the island.

Because the dirt wall is located on relatively low ground, it is difficult to see from outside the island unless you walk here.

However, Zhang Heng circled around the wall for half a circle, and didn't see where the entrance was, until he went around to a small hill, but he accidentally met a human here.

It was an old man with a gray beard and some ragged clothes, I don't know how long he hadn't taken a bath, his hair and beard had been knotted, and he was attached to his bronzed skin, but his complexion looked okay, and he was not very surprised when he saw Zhang Heng, but nodded at Zhang Heng.

"You're here?"

"You know me?"

"I don't know," the old man shook his head, "but I know why you're here." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"To see it, you'll need to go through this labyrinth behind me."

Zhang Heng was a little surprised when he heard this, "Do you know why I came, but you don't plan to stop me?" ”

"Block? No, my job is to guide those who go to the island and help them find what they are looking for. ”

"Do you think there are anyone else on the island besides me?" Zhang Heng grasped the key point in the old man's words.

"Of course, do you know Kekule, a German organic chemist who used to come to this island, and not long after he came back discovered the simple structure of benzene, and a little earlier Beethoven, who wrote his famous Symphony No. 5 in C minor, and Van Gogh, well...... His condition was not very good, and he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital not long after he returned, but it was in the psychiatric hospital that he also completed "Starry Night". But that's all before I go to the island. ”

The old man paused, "During my time here, I have received a total of sixteen guests on the island, and unfortunately more than half of them have not been able to pass through this labyrinth behind me, and three have been eaten by it, but the remaining three, each of them has returned with a full load, I bet you must have heard of them, but I can't tell you their names by agreement." ”

Zhang Heng realized that the old man might have misunderstood something and mistook him for a believer in Jörmungad, it seems that this giant python is not willing to be lonely, and has been using some means to attract some ordinary people to this island and make some deals with it.
