Three hundred and twenty-eight. Gradually converge
"Number two? Have you seen the Stone Forest? He's the new number two, no surprise. You will be his people from now on! β
"I've seen it, but now I'm separated again, and those two companions are gone..."
Xiaodao saw the loss on Meng Yao's face, but he didn't say anything, after all, they didn't know each other, so he didn't know what Meng Yao was thinking, in case he said the wrong thing, it would be a very embarrassing thing for him.
"Alright, we're here!"
The two of them managed to climb the mountain, from which they could see part of the island, after all, it was not the highest mountain, and they could only see the location of the beach where they were just now.
"That person doesn't look like he's on the beach anymoreβ" Knife stared intently in that direction, making sure that there was no one there, before withdrawing his gaze. Let's go next. Take advantage of this opportunity. Find other companions here, and find a way to get out of here..."
"I agree, but we haven't seen a single living person after we've walked so far, and I think the odds of finding them here are slim!"
"Moreover, they must already know about this island, so they must have already found a place to hide, and it will be even more difficult to find them!"
"No, they must be the same as we thought, that monster will not be active during the day, then they will definitely take advantage of the dawn to come out and explore, and this time happens to be the best time to meet!"
Meng Yao nodded, he didn't expect this, but he still thought that looking for someone on such a big island was really looking for a needle in a haystack, where they were now could only see the tip of the iceberg, which was about a quarter of the place, and the other three-quarters, they were afraid that they would have to spend a few days, or even more time to find, they couldn't spend so much time here, this was simply self-defeating.
And, if that monster wasn't a human being, they became even more dangerous.
"Let's go down the mountain... We headed towards the center of the island, and on my gut instinct, there must have been someone hiding there! β
The knife was on the head, and Meng Yao was behind, although the two did not have any tacit understanding, but fortunately, they didn't dare to go too fast, so there were no problems for the time being.
On the way, they finally saw some food, wild fruits on the trees, and even some wild animals running in the forest, but they didn't choose to catch them, wasting time, you know, at this time, the main purpose is to find people.
"Huh! Look, there's movement over there! β
At this moment, Meng Yao suddenly found that there seemed to be some movement in front of her, and it seemed to be the sound of someone moving somewhere, so they hurriedly touched it.
Through the gaps in the branches, they could see that there was a small stream in front of them, and several people were drinking from it, and judging by the tattered and dirty clothes on their bodies, they must have just gone through a very difficult escape to put so much dirt on their bodies and clothes.
"Shall we go up and join them?" Meng Yao stuck to the side of the knife and asked in a low voice. "Although it was a few miscellaneous fish, it was better to have more people than fewer people..."
"Wait a little longer!" Knife but a lot of calm. "The more people there are, the more the target will be exposed, and the things we are looking for are elite, not these small soldiers who will only send them to death!"
The knife turned around and left, instead of letting him carry a few drag oil bottles, he might as well take Meng Yao with him, and he could feast his eyes if he had nothing to do.
"Then we don't care about them? There's a good chance that the killer will kill them..."
"You better take care of yourself, in the face of danger, the only thing you can trust is yourself, don't expect me to save you, when the time comes, I will only leave you and run away!"
Meng Yao looked at the thin but powerful knife in front of her, and understood why everyone regarded him as the loneliest person in the black light.
As a killer, loneliness can only be said to be commonplace, not only because of fear of retaliation, but also because it is much easier for a person to move, and there are no distractions.
"This island is really quite big, after walking for so long, I haven't seen the most central mountain, and I haven't seen anyone, is it really all killed?"
Knife muttered quietly as he marked his surroundings with the knife, which was also his habit as a killer, and he had to remember every step he had taken, so as not to make a mistake or waste time when escaping.
"That's... Let's take a break... I just can't walk..."
Meng Yao followed with difficulty behind, she actually knew her physical strength, originally she thought it was not difficult, but after walking for a while, she found that she was thrown farther and farther away by the knife, until she couldn't even see the back of the knife.
"Damn! I don't know at all that I pity the fragrance and cherish the jade! β
Meng Yao cursed secretly, but just as she wanted to follow as soon as possible, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out behind her, covered his mouth, and then dragged her into the bushes.
Xiaodao hadn't realized this at the moment, and by the time he realized that Meng Yao behind him was gone, it was already ten minutes later.
"Strange, what about people?" Knife turned his head suspiciously, but who else was behind him? Not even a figure. "Forget it, no matter! It has nothing to do with me anyway! β
Xiaodao didn't care much about this in the first place, and he was fine alone, but the more she walked, the more unbearable she became, and she stopped by herself as she walked.
"No, I still do

Do you have to go back and see, what if you just lose it? If we meet again in the future, how will we communicate together? β
He thought about it and turned around and walked back, but fortunately he had memorized the mark at all times, so he could easily find his way back.
"No one? It can't really be lost, right? β
At that moment, there was a sudden sound from the bushes on the side of his position, and the knife quickly became alert, hid behind a tree, and then poked his head out to stare at the location where the sound came from.
"At this time, the monster shouldn't come out, so what would be the sound that something is coming from? Is it someone else? β
"Hey!" Knife shouted. "The guy on the other side! Don't be afraid, I'm Black Light Cadre No. 3, Knife, we are our own people, if you don't believe me, I can come out and let you see my face! β
The knife immediately walked out from behind the tree, but he didn't forget to put his hand behind his back to prevent the person on the other side from seeing the dagger in his hand.
"I'm so sincere, aren't you going to come out?"
The knife walked forward slowly, and just as he was about to walk in front of the bush, a shadow suddenly rushed out of it, and a knife was laid across in front of him.
But she was actually ready, he quickly took out the knife behind him and blocked this attack, but he never thought that this person who rushed in front of him and pointed the knife at him was actually Lin Jianmeng.
"Little dream... What are you doing? No matter how scared you are, there's no need to be so excited, right? β
"I'm testing your strength, it looks like you're in pretty good shape!"
Lin Jianmeng withdrew her sword, and now she was not holding the katana she carried with her, but a short-handled sword, half the length of the katana, but it could be used improvised.
And after she came out, another person came out of the bushes, and it was Meng Yao who didn't follow just now.
"You're here! How did you come across it?! β
"I..." Before Meng Yao could speak, Lin Jianmeng snatched the conversation. I also went to the middle of the island to find someone, and when I was leaving, I found this woman, and seeing that she was walking so hard, I pulled her over and let her rest here for a while, and by the way, I saw if you would come back to her, and as a result, you still have a little conscience! β
"Of course, I must have a big conscience!"
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked towards their destination together.
"Xiaomeng, have you met a murderer on this island? You should have seen it, right? β
"See, otherwise I wouldn't have the idea of going to the middle of the island..."Lin Jianmeng stroked the broken hair next to his ear, and wiped his sweat by the way. You should have seen that guy too, right? Even I didn't dare to look at that person for more than five seconds, it was terrible! β
Lin Jianmeng couldn't help but shudder, and that feeling seemed to rush into her heart again.
"It shouldn't be... Aren't you usually not afraid of heaven and earth? How can you be afraid of a man this time? β
"Don't talk to me, if you're going to be good, you can go find that killer and fight it alone, I'll cheer you on, I hope you can kill her, and then we can leave from here..."
"If I have a way, do I need to taunt you?"
The three of them didn't know how long they had been walking. Finally, we came to the bottom of the mountain in the center of the island.
It was a very tall mountain, at least a kilometer long, and they hadn't seen it from a distance, but when they came to the bottom of the mountain, they realized that the mountain was much higher than they had imagined.
"There doesn't seem to be any one around here, huh?" The knife slowly squatted down and pinched the dirt on the ground. "The soil is very fresh, and there is no trace of being stepped on, which proves that no one has come here!"
"Indeedβ" Lin Jianmeng made a mark on a tree with his knife and began to climb up the mountain. Let's go up the mountain. It's getting dark soon, and we'll have to find a safe place to camp before that killer appears, or it might be dangerous! β
Xiaodao and Meng Yao didn't refute her words, after all, what she said also had some truth, no one knew where the killer would hide, so they could only be careful at all times, and be careful that that person would suddenly rush out of somewhere and kill them.
"Remember when I created a game like this," Lin Jianmeng whispered. An island with dozens of unknown students on it, give them some weapons, give them some stimulation, and they can kill each other..."
"These two are fundamentally different, okay?" Knife chuckled. "You're taking advantage of their panic and suspicion, and now we're in this situation, we're just meeting a madman!"
"So which madman do you think would be who?" Lin Jianmeng didn't look back, and still kept moving forward. "Except for the two of us, the only ones left are Angelina, Black Feather, and Stone Forest, there is only one man here, do you suspect Stone Forest?"
"How is that possible? Brother Shilin wouldn't do this kind of thing! β
"Don't forget, he's an undercover police agent, even if he helps us kill that fake B
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
OSS, but he's still a cop, and he's still the most dangerous for those of us who have countless lives on our hands! β
"So you doubt him?" Knife frowned. "But I still don't believe he would do such a thing! He didn't have to kill people to solve the problem, and besides, how could he have so much oppressive power? β
Meng Yao walked at the end and heard all the words they had just said, in addition to their suspicion of Shi Lin, she also learned the fact that the boss was dead.
"It seems that Lao Shi didn't lie to us, that boss was indeed killed by him! That's great! Meng Yao smiled slightly, trying her best to control her mood.
"But they still seem to be suspicious of Lao Shi, how could he do such a thing? I absolutely don't believe it! β
Although she believed in Shi Lin in her heart, all the signs now showed that he was the most likely candidate, because that killer was obviously a man, and that body shape could not be pretended to be by a woman.
"Could it be the natives of this place?" Meng Yao asked. "It's also a possibility, right?"
"Yes, yes, but it's unlikely..."Lin Jianmeng said slowly. I've been searching here for a long time, and there are no traces of people living here, although the area is small, but there is no trace at all, which also says something! β
"Moreover, if it is an indigenous person, it is impossible to have only one person, it must appear in groups, like the kind of person who slashes people everywhere with a knife, it is unreasonable at first glance!"
Meng Yao lowered her head, still thinking about various possibilities, but each one was overturned by herself, so much so that she didn't even dare to think about it anymore.
"Look! There's a cave over there! Let's go! β
Lin Jianmeng walked in the front, with a wide field of vision, and saw the cave on the mountain at a glance, which was a hidden treasure. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it.
But just as they were about to enter the cave, Lin Jianmeng suddenly stopped and reached out to stop them.
"Wait a minute! There seems to be someone in there! β
They hurriedly watched, staring closely at the dark cavern, not daring to act.
"It doesn't look like someone at all, does it? How did you tell there was someone in there? β
"Look at the groundβ" Lin Jianmeng pointed to the clearing in front of the cave. There were obvious footprints there, and there were traces of dragging objects..."
"Indeed... And it looks like there's a lot of stuff, but it's not like a person..."
"Could it be a twig?" Meng Yao interjected at this time. "The marks are one by one, and I can't see it clearly when it's too dark, but I guess it's a tree branch..."
"Let's split up! Knife, you take her from the left, I from the right! β
The knife nodded, and quickly rushed towards the left with Meng Yao, while Lin Jian Meng went around from the right.
Both sides reached the cavern almost at the same time, and now they could clearly see the traces on the ground through the only sunlight left.
"It's a trace, but I'm not sure if it's a branch..."The knife slowly squatted down, looked at the unknown trace, and whispered.
"Look at my eyes in a moment!" Lin Jianmeng had already stepped into the forest as he spoke, but at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in the jungle not far away.
"Huh! Is that you? You're here too! β
The three of them were startled and turned around sharply, only to find that Shi Lin was walking over with a bundle of wood.
"I knew you were going to come here looking for someone, so I woke up and ran here as soon as I woke up, but I didn't expect to run into it!"
Before the three of them could wake up from their shock, Shi Lin had already dragged them into the cave.
"It's getting dark, that killer may appear soon, if you don't want to die, hurry up and help me build a fire, that monster is afraid of light..."
"Afraid of light? How do you know this? β
"Didn't you notice that the monster never appeared during the day?" Shi Lin took the wood to a pile of charcoal and began to slowly start the fire. "Also, I've never seen the shadow of that monster near the fire, so he must be afraid of light..."
The fire slowly ignited, and Shi Lin didn't care why Meng Yao was here, but was happy for her, at least she survived temporarily.
The people sat by the fire. But in fact, everyone has a problem in their hearts and distrusts each other, and among them, the most obvious is Lin Jianmeng's distrust of Shilin.
"Stone Forest, how did you get here? It's only been a day, and you'll be able to walk from the beach? This speed is also a bit too fast, right? β
"It's okay..."Shi Lin took some wild fruits from the side, as well as a small snake he caught by the way, and skewered them on a wooden stick and roasted them. As I said, as soon as I woke up, I ran into the murderer, and I followed the path he had taken, but he found out, and then I ran away, and after getting rid of him, I thought, I have to find my companion first..."
"But it was late at that time, so I found a random place to sleep, and the next morning, I got up and headed here..."
"Did you see the murderer too?" Knife said excitedly. "And how do you feel? Are there any questions? β
"Questions? I've always felt like it's a lot like a game of black light, I haven't created a game, and I think you know more about this than I do! β
