Chapter 68: The Questioner's Invitation
February 15, 2020 (rì) 9:33 AM
When Fang Fan woke up, he saw Zhang Ze and Wanli talking beside (chuáng), and he propped himself up (shēn) and leaned on his head (chuáng). Zhang Ze saw that Fang Fan had woken up, and hurriedly said.
"Lao Fang, you're finally awake."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been 5 days."
Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze in disbelief and said.
"5 days? What kind of medicine did Aunt Mei give me? ”
"Jianyue said that it was just some ordinary sleeping pills, and it was no big deal."
"Oh, what's going on these days?"
"It's nothing, the world is peaceful."
At this time, Fang Fan suddenly had a severe headache, as if someone had used a long needle to pierce his neck all the way into his brain, and then stirred it repeatedly in his brain. Fang Fan covered the sore spot with his hands and lay down (chuáng), crying out in pain. Zhang Ze and Wanli were at a loss for what to do, but it didn't take long for Fang Fan to return to normal.
Fang Fan was sweating profusely at this time, and his face was pale. With trembling arms supporting his body again, Zhang Ze hurriedly stepped forward to support him. After the headache disappeared, Fang Fan remembered Aunt Mei's last words, 'I will give you a gift so that you can also experience my life.' The meaning of the gift is nothing more than the needle that is rooted in the mouth of Fang Fan (xiōng), but what does it mean to experience Aunt Mei's life? Fang Fan couldn't guess the mystery for a while. Wanli went home in the afternoon, there were still Yuerun and Xiaohu at home to take care of, and Zhang Ze was in the hospital to accompany Fang Fan.
"How's Yang Yue's (qíng) doing?"
Zhang Ze put away his mobile phone, looked at Fang Fan and said.
"After Aunt Mei died, Yang Yue woke up, and her mental state was not very good."
"Did she say anything after she learned the news of Aunt Mei's death?"
"No, she was surprisingly calm at the time, and only said that she would be buried as soon as possible."
"It seems that Yang Yue has long been cruel to Aunt Mei (qíng), even more ruthless than a stranger."
"She deserves it, if it were me, I would do that to her."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhang Zeqi (shēn) opened the door and saw Yang Yue and Su Kang standing outside the door. Yang Yue's face was bloodless, and it seemed that he had just recovered for a long time. Su Kang was carefully supporting on the side, and Yang Yue slowly sat down next to Fang Fan (chuáng) and said.
"Fang Fan, everything is my fault, I..."
Fang Fan raised his hand to interrupt Yang Yue's words and said.
"I already know that you were also poisoned and controlled, so you had to do those things. Putting aside those past things, we still have to face the future, the questioner will definitely not give up, how much do you know about Qiman? ”
"Qiman?"
"It's the (chūn) plum that went to your house to look for before."
"All I know is that she came out of the mental hospital, and when I got to the hospital, I was attacked by an ambush monster, and I don't know what happened next."
Fang Fan sighed lightly, twisted to the window and looked at the trees outside with young buds and shaking branches, a few sparrows frolicking back and forth around the branches, and a smile rose at the corner of Fang Fan's mouth.
"Zhang Ze, you help me open the window."
Zhang Ze opened the window uninexplicably, and a gust of clear air blew into the room, and Fang Fan immediately felt refreshed. All the troubles were slowly precipitating downward, as if even Yuehan had been resurrected at this time, sitting on a bench in the flowerbed outside the window holding a book of her favorite, her long skirt moving with the morning (chūn) wind, her shoulder-length hair was gently pulled behind her ears, and when Fang Fan called her name, Yuehan showed an elegant smile.
At some point, the tears dripped on the white quilt, leaving a circular mark. Fang Fan raised his hand to wipe it, and another gust of wind blew in, drying the tears on his face.
"If we could be as comfortable as a sparrow outside the window, we wouldn't have to be so busy."
Yang Yue said with a burst of anxiety in his heart.
"Fang Fan, what should I do?"
Fang Fan shook his head when he heard this, and said with a long sigh.
"It's nothing, you don't have to be stressed, just like usual. Su Kang, you take Yang Yue back to rest. ”
When Yang Yue wanted to say something more, he was stopped by Zhang Ze. Su Kang helped Yang Yue and slowly walked towards the door of the ward, and then Fang Fan looked at Yang Yue's back and suddenly said.
"Yang Yue... I can still trust you, right? ”
Yang Yue nodded vigorously, so that he felt dizzy.
"That's good, that's good..."
Su Kang helped Yang Yue back to the ward, and after Zhang Ze closed the door, he asked.
"Old Fang, do you plan to continue to use Yang Yue?"
"She's just a victim."
"Which of us isn't? You, I, Wanli, and... And Yuehan. ”
Fang Fan waved his hand and said.
"I will definitely avenge Yuehan's revenge, but I can't be blinded by hatred in my heart that should be tolerant."
At this time, there was a ringing of mobile phones, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze searched for a long time but couldn't find which of the two of them whose mobile phone was ringing, then Fang Fan suddenly remembered.
"In the pocket of my jacket."
Zhang Ze took it out and saw that it was the mobile phone in the mental hospital, and there was only one person who made this call, the questioner.
"Fang Fan, a new game has begun, if you can still retreat this time, I will tell you the whereabouts of Fengzhu."
"Accompany you to the end."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, the questioner sent Fang Fan a photo. The photograph shows a man hanging upside down from the ceiling, his head tightly wrapped in a black cloth. At this time, a text message was received on the mobile phone, 'At 16:55 p.m. on February 18 (rì), take the Medusa passenger ship in Port Mette to Dongquan Island. The condition is still that you are not allowed to use supernatural powers, otherwise the whole ship will bury you both, and there will be instructions for the next step when you arrive at Dongquan Island. 'The departure time is three days later, and the destination is Dongquan Island.
"Lao Fang, can you go in your current state?"
"No problem. But check this information before we go. ”
"What's the information?"
"Port Met, Medusa, East Springs Island."
"Understood, I'll look it up now. Lao Fang, you better rest more before you go. ”
Fang Fan nodded, lying on the chuáng (chuáng) and closing his eyes to recuperate. Two days later, Fang Fan returned home from the hospital, although he had basically recovered, he still had occasional headaches, and the headaches were getting longer and longer, when the pain came up, even the painkillers couldn't suppress it, and the feeling was like someone carving a stone tablet in his brain with a chisel, and the sound of clanging bells kept going back and forth in his head. Fang Fan had been recuperating at home during this time, and in the evening a courier delivered an envelope containing two tickets for the Medusa passenger ship. There is also a small key, judging by the shape of the key, the lock that can be opened should not be very large, much like the key of a small locker. At this time, there was a sound of a key opening the door, and Zhang Ze was holding something and shouting at the door.
"Old Fang, come and take a hand, I can't hold it."
Fang Fan walked over quickly, took the things in Zhang Ze's hand, and asked.
"What is this?"
"It's all for us to leave tomorrow."
Since the catastrophe of the mental hospital, Zhang Ze has been very concerned about the preparations before going out, even if it is a simple outing, he must bring all the protective measures.
"It's electric bars, inflatable kayaks, emergency scuba apparatus, diving goggles, underwater stress testers, underwater compasses..."
Zhang Ze showed Fang Fan one by one, and Fang Fan said with a smile.
"Are you sure the Medusa will sink?"
"That doesn't matter, if there are any monsters on the ship, we'll have to jump into the sea, and maybe the pervert who asked the question has installed explosives on the ship."
"Shut your crow's mouth. What I asked you to check, how did the check go? ”
"Port Mette is a small port in the east of the city, and there are always some traveling ships that dock there. Medusa, guess it's a passenger liner from that company? ”
Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze's excited eyes and said loudly deliberately.
"Oh, it can't be from the Zhuo Man's family, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the passenger ship of Zhuo's Group, which can accommodate 1,000 people, and..."
Suddenly, Zhang Ze felt a chill behind him, and he slowly looked back, only to see Wanli rubbing his hands behind him (shēn).
"Wanli, we have a mission this time, not to go out to play."
Zhang Ze's voice was full of jealousy towards Wanli, and Wanli clenched her fingers and said.
"I didn't ask you, what are you nervous about?"
"I'm not afraid you'll guess."
"Then you're saying I'm careful. Men really have every good thing, and you dislike me in such a short time. ”
Zhang Ze was speechless, and Wanli continued.
"If you don't speak, you're acquiescing, aren't you?"
After that, a back fall knocked Zhang Ze to the ground, and then he rode on Zhang Ze's waist and took a pillow and beat him, and after a few minutes, Wanli clapped his hands and stood up. Happy walking towards the kitchen, talking as he walked.
"Oops, hungry. What should I eat today? ”
Fang Fan looked at the position of the sofa that had always belonged to Yue Han, and his heart suddenly felt empty. Whenever Wanli was jealous and beat Zhang Ze, the room would always be filled with Yuehan's hearty laughter. I hope that this trip to Dongquan Island can smoothly get the whereabouts of Fengzhu and resurrect Yuehan as soon as possible, but can it really go very smoothly? Fang Fan's heart suddenly went up and down. At this time, Zhang Ze slowly got up from the ground and said.
"Oh, old fang, you did it on purpose."
"The recovery of (tǐng) is fast."
"It's not a problem to be beaten a few times by your own woman."
Wanli shouted Zhang Ze in the kitchen.
"Zhang Ze, come here."
Zhang Ze immediately trotted and ran into the kitchen.
"What's the matter?"
"You give this to Dolman, it's the applesauce she likes to eat."
Zhang Ze suddenly said with teary eyes.
"Dear (ài), you're so good."
"Now you know me. If you dare to think anything wrong about Dolman, see how I fix you. ”
Wanli gestured to Zhang Ze with a scissor hand gesture as she spoke, Zhang Ze suddenly subconsciously covered her lower body, her face was blue and white for a while, and then she said tremblingly.
"Don't worry, Wanli. I'm sure I'll be honest and I'll be back as soon as I'm done. ”
"Forgive you for not having the guts. Okay, go and call Fang Fan for dinner. ”
"Okay."
When Zhang Ze came to call Fang Fan, he found that he had fallen asleep holding Yuehan's pillow.
February 18, 2020 (rì) 16:50 p.m
Wanli drove Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to the port, Fang Fan got out of the car with his luggage, and Wanli then said to Zhang Ze.
"Zhang Ze, I've been unsteady in my heart for the past few days, you must be careful this time. Either way, you're both going to come back in one piece, you know? ”
"Got it, don't worry."
Zhang Ze kissed Wanli, Wanli's cheeks turned crimson, and (jiāo) said angrily.
"Alright, let's go."
At this time, Wanli saw Zhuo Man who had boarded the boat from the VIP passage, and she shouted.
"Zoman, Dolman."
Zhuo Man turned his head when he heard the sound, the two waved vigorously, and then Wanli said to Zhang Ze.
"You remember what I said to you."
"Remember it all, don't think about it, you must be honest."
Fang Fan urged on the side
"Okay, it's not a parting of life and death, it's not going to happen. Even if I risk my life, I will send Zhang Ze back to you completely. ”
Fang Fan dragged Zhang Ze away as soon as he grabbed him by the collar, and Wanli smiled and sent the two away, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate.
After passing the security check, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze found their cabin, the internal environment is very good, two single (chuáng), a bathroom, and a small bar, and there are many foreign famous wines that cannot be named in the bar. Of course, this is not the power of the two tickets, but Zhuo Man's special arrangement. When he knew that Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were going to take the Medusa, Zhuo Man also wanted to go out by boat on a whim. There was a knock on the door, and Zhang Ze put down half of his luggage and went to open the door.
"Dolman, you're here."
"I'll see what the two VIPs need."
"Where, you've arranged it very well. I thought we were going to be crammed under the boat like the oppressed slaves. ”
Zhuo Man waved his hand and slapped Zhang Ze, and then walked in front of Fang Fan.
"Fang Fan, I'm sorry about Yuehan's matter, when..."
Fang Fan interrupted Zhuo Man's words and said.
"It's all over, don't mention it."
Zoman nodded and sat aside, the atmosphere a little awkward. Zhang Ze said suddenly.
"Zhuo Man, what are you going to do this time?"
"I'm going to be lazy. It's a crushing job every day, and I'm about to collapse, and I don't see you guys going on the Medusa, so I'll take the opportunity to make up for it. ”
With that, Dolman grimaced and laughed, and then said.
"Why did you suddenly remember to travel? And without Wanli, are you going to do bad things? ”
said that Wanli was Zhuo Man teasing Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze hurriedly argued.
"What's the matter, we're going to handle the case."
Suddenly, Zhuo Man said excitedly.
"What kind of case? Take me one. ”
"Forget it, it's too dangerous this time."
When Zhuo Man was about to say something more, Fang Fan suddenly interjected.
"Zhuo Man, do you know anything about Dongquan Island?"
"Dongquan Island? I knew Phuket. ”
Fang Fan looked helpless, and Zhuo Man continued.
"I think the captain should know more about the islands on this nautical route."
"Take us to meet him."
"No problem."
Zhuo Man took Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to the captain's room, and many people along the way were respectful when they saw Zhuo Man, Zhang Ze whispered.
"The original Miss Zhuo has become a queen."
Looking at Zhang Ze's hippie smiling virtue, Zhuo Man pinched Zhang Ze's lower back, and Zhang Ze's painful tears fell out. Zhuo Man looked at Zhang Ze gently and said.
"Oops, what's wrong with you. Where is it uncomfortable? ”
"No... No, it's very comfortable. ”
Zhuo Man said with a grin.
"That's good."
Zoorman knocked on the door to the captain's quarters and said inside.
"Please come in."
The three pushed the door open, and the captain hurriedly got up (shēn) when he saw Zhuoman.
"Mr. Zhuo, I don't know that you are also on this trip."
"Captain Hunter, these two are my friends, and they have something they want to know from you."
Zhuo Man changed his lively and naughty appearance just now, and at this time he was completely a strong woman's aura, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze shook hands with Captain Hunter. Captain Hunter is in his 50s this year, a foreign Chinese, he came to work in Zhonghai City very early, and is still a foreigner, mainly because the nationality here is too difficult to enter, fortunately he has the ability to sail, and he will not be deported. Captain Hunter poured four glasses of whiskey, and the four sat across from each other.
"I wonder what you two want to know?"
Fang Fan said.
"I wonder how much Captain Hunter knows about East Springs Island?"
Hunter's hand, which had just picked up the wine glass, suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then put it back on the coffee table. He said after looking at Fang Fan.
"You two are going to Dongquan Island?"
"That's right."
"I wonder if you two can know about Huangquan?"
Zhang Ze said suddenly.
"Is it the way a man must take after death?"
"Exactly. Legend has it that although there is no road on Dongquan Island, it can reach all directions, and the deepest road can go directly to Huangquan Road, so Dongquan Island is also known as the Island of the Dead. All passing ships are respectful of it. ”
Fang Fan then asked.
"Has no one been up all this time?"
"Of course, there is no shortage of explorers. It is said that a long time ago a down-and-out earl used his last possession to buy a large slave horse and some supplies to the island. It was an isolated island, and no one knew what was going on on the island, so the Count ordered a Count's Palace to be built there. It's ridiculous to say that since it is an uninhabited island, there is an earl's court. Then something strange happened, perhaps the arrival of the Count and others alarmed the unknown forces there, and after a while, everyone the Count brought with him died for no reason, and the Count somehow disappeared. Later, I heard from people who accidentally landed on the island that every midnight they would watch a group of people line up and walk towards the sea, and they would follow those people (qíng) unconsciously (jìn) when they saw themselves, and it is said that only a few of those who landed on the island unintentionally came back, and those people also became crazy and stupid not long after they returned. ”
Hunter took a sip of his wine, then lit a cigar and savored it. Fang Fan pondered for a while and said.
"Isn't it normal for no one to come back?"
"Since the legend of the Earl appeared, there have been many people who have gone on expeditions, but they have not been heard from since."
Zhang Ze swallowed and whispered.
"Old Fang, why don't we go back?"
Fang Fan ignored Zhang Ze, shook hands with the captain, and the three of them left the captain's room.
"Zhang Ze, it looks like your inflatable kayak is going to come in handy."
"You're not saying we're going to row there ourselves, are you?"
"Didn't you hear what the captain said just now that he wouldn't approach that island?"
Zhuo Man said suddenly.
"Don't worry, I'll get you there."
Zhang Ze's heart was like taking a reassuring pill, suddenly there was a noisy shout from the second floor of the passenger ship, the three of them hurriedly rushed to the second floor when they heard the sound, many people surrounded the door of a room on the third floor and the outer three floors, the three of them opened the crowd and squeezed in to take a look, only to see the blood stains on the wall in the cabin, the white (chuáng) bunk was soaked in blood, and the lower half (shēn) of the dead body was left on the pavement, and the upper half (shēn) was nowhere to be found.
