According to the boy, his grandfather was Vietnamese. In his early years, he lived in the coastal area of Vietnam, and lived a life of 365 days a year and 300 days at sea. Experiencing countless strange things in the sea, the most noteworthy is the story of a group of explorers who worked as a guide for a group of explorers and encountered pirates, and then followed them into a mysterious island. And this so-called talisman came from that island.

I was going to find out where the stone came from, but what I didn't expect was that when the boy mentioned the name of the island, it surprised me.

"You may not have heard of it, but that island is said to be called Ugin Island......"

"What?" I thought I heard it wrong.

"What?"

"The name of the island, you said it's Ugin Island?"

"Yes, Ugin Island. Have you heard? It's not surprising that my grandfather often mentioned it when he bragged about it with his old friends, and it seems that Ugin Island is a household name. The boy affirmed.

"Is your grandfather still alive?"

"In ...... Why do you suddenly ask this? The boy looked at me quizzically.

"It's okay, you go on."

It was really an accident for me, and I don't know if it's lucky.

The boy wondered why I had suddenly become interested in the name of the island, but he didn't ask any more questions, and continued with his story. Legend has it that the island was in an ethereal sea fog, and without penetrating the fog, it was never possible to determine whether it was really an island or an illusion caused by a long period of wandering at sea. It is said that the pirates killed all the explorers at that time, but let him go because of the boy's grandfather's status as a native Vietnamese. On the way back to land, there are winds and waves, strange events occur, the sky is full of clouds, and all the instruments that determine the direction fail at the same time, and then you see the legendary fog in the sea.

In the mist, there seems to be a powerful attraction, allowing the pirate's ship to get out of control and be swept into the mist. Before entering the mist, a rudimentary shape of an island is faintly visible, the top of which rises and falls like a giant demon head.

The people were forced to go to the island, and found that the rocks here were hard, delicate, and pure black and shiny, like Ugin, like the description of Ugin Island in legends. They explored the island and found that there was no living life, and that the entire island was almost entirely made up of large black and shiny stones. This disappointed the pirates until they discovered the black cliff that split the apex of the island in two.

The cliff shimmers and exudes a mysterious fragrance.

The pirates used ropes, chains, and other tools to go under the cliffs. The golden color, as it goes deeper, shines more and more attractively, and at the bottom of the cliff, as far as the eye can see, there are gold and antiquities! That's money that you can't spend in a lifetime! Beneath the gold, there were stone tablets with strange inscriptions, but they didn't appeal to the pirates. They moved as much gold as they could, and took as much as they could. At this time, someone noticed that the clouds in the sky seemed to be gradually dissipating, and the fog around them was getting lighter and lighter.

Unbeknownst to the pirates at the time, this did not bode well.

As the dark clouds dispersed, people realized that the sun in the sky was actually dark red, and the whole world was shrouded in red light, becoming strange and abnormal! With the arrival of the red light, the island began to tremble slightly......

"And then?" I'm curious about the rest of the story, but so far, the boy's "amulet" has never appeared. I pointed to the necklace and asked, "Where is it?" ”

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, but...... Actually, I'm not sure if my grandfather made it up later, he's an old liar, and he often talks nonsense. ”

"You say, I'll judge for myself whether it's true or not."

"Good ......," the boy nodded, and continued: "That piece of red light sprinkled down, and the originally black and shiny stone actually began to shake and shatter! Then it turned into a delicate powder, and then those powders gradually formed into a human-like body in the red light, and they became more and more abundant, and finally became ancient warriors wearing armor...... That's probably it, do you think it's believable? I've always been an old man to brag. ”

"I don't know. After that, what's the follow-up to your grandfather's story? What things attacked them? ”

"Well, the pirates were almost killed by those monsters, and my grandfather said it was miserable and scary, because under the armor of those things was real flesh and blood, oh no, it wasn't complete flesh and blood, to be precise, it should be the kind of skeleton that stuck to the flesh, like the devil. What's even more terrifying is that the corpses of the pirates killed by them will quickly dry up, then turn into a black powder, and then resurrect, and become like those monsters, and start killing other people! In this way, those pirates are almost all dead......"

"But your grandfather didn't die." I looked at the necklace, "Its credit?" ”

The boy nodded and picked up the necklace, "Yes, it was this thing that saved them." It is said that under the black cliff, there is not only a treasure, but also a tree that is covered with this purple stone, like a fruit. At that time, some pirates thought that this might be some kind of precious gem and took some. Because they weren't really hostile to my grandfather at the time, the old man took a few pieces of it. But in fact, it was not killed because of the purple stone, which is just the guess of the survivors. They didn't know exactly why, but all the people who survived, who weren't attacked, took that purple stone.

"And then, how did they leave?"

"My grandfather said that then the tide rose and the sea almost swallowed the whole island. The boat was not pulled by the strange gravitational pull that it had before, and somehow left the confines of the island. ”

This is the end of the story.

But I actually have some doubts in my mind, for example, how much will a person take when the purple stone is mistaken for some kind of gemstone? According to the greedy nature of human beings, there should be no less, right?

"This thing looks small, and your grandfather only brought this one back?" I asked.

The boy seemed interested in telling this, "It's kind of ridiculous to say that. I've always suspected that my grandfather was bragging. ”

"Tell me."

"Actually, he did bring back a few pieces of this 'amulet', but for some reason, this is the only one left. And that's not the point. One more thing is that he brought back not only stones, but also the so-called 'gold', but also a very, very large amount. ”

"So-called?"

"Well, he said it was gold, but it was actually the shiny black stones. I don't know if the old man was hallucinating in the first place, or if the gold wasn't gold at all, and maybe for some reason after leaving that island, it changed color? In short, he died nine times, but in the end he only came back with a box of stones. ”

Whether it is stone or gold, I am not interested in it for the time being, but the "amulet" seems to be more than one. So, could this piece also coincide......

When the boy saw that I was fascinated by the necklace, he shook his head and said, "It's useless to look at this, it's fake." ”

"How?"

"Do you remember what I said about the scent? It smells good, but if you smell it on this, it doesn't smell at all, I think it just happens to be very similar. ”

I sniffed it, and it really didn't smell anything.

But what does it taste like on the genuine "talisman"?

Speaking of this smell, Guan Xiangsong's girlfriend's body really smells very good. But I didn't really care about this at the time, after all, most women smell fragrant after dressing up. But now that I think about it, the smell is really recognizable, and it doesn't seem to have smelled from any other woman.

If that highly recognizable aroma is the stone smell mixed with Guan Xiangsong's girlfriend's body, then I may be able to find it again......

As long as it does exist, as long as it's on this ship, the smell of that thing won't disappear out of thin air.

Only, where will it hide?

I closed my eyes and tried to remember the smell of the woman, and the smell was gradually stripped away in my mind, like a silk thread, in front of me. In the sea of consciousness, I carefully distinguished, sifted layer by layer, and finally found a smell that was different from most women's bodies and fragrances!

That's it!

But......

Suddenly! The sea of my consciousness is full of smoke! A big stream of pungent smell takes over everything, destroys it all, and obscures all the fragrance! It makes my sense of smell ache like a pinprick stick! But it also gave me an important hint, and I suddenly opened my eyes: "I, I know." ”

"Know, know what?" The boy looked at me with some surprise and some fear.

And I turned my gaze to Guan Xiangsong, "You need to do something to make you sad." ”

"Makes me sad? What, what did you find? He looked confused.

I walked up behind him and untied his cloth pocket made of sheets, which contained the scattered charred corpse of his girlfriend.

"What the hell are you doing?"

I untied the cloth bag, and the terrible corpse was exposed to the air again, and the smell of burnt became extremely strong at that moment. I looked down, my nose swept over every corner of the corpses, up to my chest, and I could smell a barely palpable scent of burnt burning!

The next moment, my hand stabbed into her corpse's chest, and I grabbed something!

I pulled it out, and the necklace was gone, but the stone from the necklace was still there!

"It's this!!" Guan Xiangsong was shocked, and his voice began to tremble, "For, why is it in her body?!" ”

"I don't know. But at least I found it. ”

I wiped the dust off the purple stone with my clothes, and it became crystal clear again, and as for the blood, it was completely invisible.

I held it in my hand, and in an instant, the palm of my hand was cut.

As my blood flowed to the surface of the stone, I felt a subtle warmth emanating from the stone, and then, my vision became strange, the people in front of me were still people, but on their bodies, there were shining things!

It was like a serpent and a fish.

When I look at them, they seem to be able to feel my gaze as well.

Then, suddenly, the collective grinning opened, revealing sharp fangs, as well as demonic crescent eyes! That murderous gaze is focused on me!
