"From the moment we got close to Ryu Island, I always felt like someone was guiding me. It's like we're all chess pieces, first the old man is very enthusiastic, and then the eldest lady. Although she resisted our presence, she did help us. Dongfang Lingxue began to summarize her feelings along the way.

"But when we actually got to the island, I don't know if you noticed that all the people were unusually numb. There is no manifestation of anything in the outside world, and it doesn't look like a living person at all. ”

Yes, when Xia Mu heard it, he realized where that weirdness came from. An island where no one is angry, the face is peaceful and indifferent, and the inhabitants of this island are like puppets, doing things according to the rules.

"And the strangest thing is that it is obviously black, why the road to the center of the island is lighter in color." This is something that Xia Mu has never been able to figure out, what is hidden behind these unreasonable things.

Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Xia Mu and his entourage first found an inn and simply ate something and lay down to rest.

However, when the moon had risen completely, footsteps began to appear around the inn, and the sound became more and more concentrated, as if it was a grand party.

Xia Mu couldn't sleep, so she secretly opened the window, and something surprising happened-

All the aborigines, dressed in white robes, gathered little by little towards the center of the island, and they were all smiling, as if they had all come to life overnight. There is a commotion and the giggling of children, and you can even hear the chatter of women.

"Senior sister, what did you see?"

The voice suddenly came from behind him, Xia Mu leaned back in fright and almost smashed the flower pot by the window, but fortunately, Liu Qianya pulled it back.

"You're scared me to death, is it necessary to be so quiet?" Xia Mu kept breathing, she thought that she was found out, but it was just a false alarm.

"Didn't I see you hiding over there?" Liu Qianya may have realized that Xia Mu was really angry, and took the initiative to explain, "People have been holding back for so long, and you haven't acted until you coax me." I couldn't hold back and took the initiative to talk to you, who knew it would scare you. ”

Xia Mu reacted at this time, it was Liu Qianya who spoke, and their Cold War problem had not yet been resolved.

"I'm sure I won't say anything about apologies, but Qianya, you have indeed grown up, and it is better to hold it for at least 1 day than an hour when you were a child." Xia Mu was serious, the result of her thinking yesterday was that it was meaningless to force it, and the original owner Mu Ruoxi's original intention was just to hope that they could all be happy, and it was not her to force change.

"Senior sister, you actually buried me." An itchy war is about to break out, "It seems that you are reconciled, but I have been worried for so long." As soon as Dongfang Luoxue was woken up, he looked at the scene in front of him with a relieved face.

"We obviously didn't quarrel, how can we reconcile?" Liu Qianya took Xia Mu's hand, "Senior sister, you're right!" ”

"Well, whoever was angry in the morning was not ashamed. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been there in the morning, would you? ”

"How come, I will go on my own initiative without you coming."

Xia Mu helped his forehead, and a big battle started again.

It was at this moment that Xia Mu suddenly found through the crack in the door that the men, women, and children in the courtyard had begun to return the same way, and their expressions became exactly the same as during the day.

"Stop arguing, come and see!" Hurriedly summoned Dongfang Lingxue and Liu Qianya, maybe something that Xia Mu had forgotten would be discovered by them.

"These people are really strange, don't you say that black is honored? These are all dressed in white, could it be that we have bumped into the hell? Liu Qianya muttered.

Sensing that something was wrong, Xia Mu immediately closed the window, "They were also wearing white robes when they passed over just now, but their expressions were definitely living people rather than expressionless machines. ”

"Senior sister, do you mean they're pretending?" Dongfang Lingxue thought about it, the only thing that could be different was pretending, but their acting skills were too good to have any flaws.

"I don't think it's like a pretend." Liu Qianya made a rare move of her brain, "It really can't be disguised during the day, I have tested their complete indifference to us, and every one of them is like this." ”

"What if it's being manipulated?" Xia Mu boldly put forward a hypothesis, "It is impossible for a person's temperament to change suddenly, let alone the residents of an entire island, the only thing that can be done is that all of them are controlled by an unknown force, and that power definitely comes from the mysterious Bodhisattva Academy in the island." ”

"No one knows what the Bodhisattva Academy is, and there are no people around who have even seen this mysterious building, so there are too many possibilities hidden behind it." As soon as Xia Mu's voice fell, he received a positive response from Liu Qianya.

"How about we have a night out, then?" Liu Qianya flashed her lovely eyes and said with enthusiasm.

"This night scout is a must, but if you break in like this, there will be no good fruit to eat." Dongfang Lingxue was a little anxious when she heard this, the situation on Liudao was very complicated, what if something happened.

"Hey, I said, why do you always raise the bar with me? You always object to what I want to do, and I don't know if I don't like it. Liu Qianya's words were very pertinent, and Dongfang Lingxue unconsciously reflected on what she said.

"Come on, I know that the two of you have a good relationship, are you sure you want to waste all your time arguing in the middle of the night?" Xia Mu immediately played a round, if he didn't stop it, maybe this fight would really be noisy until tomorrow morning.

"Yes, for the sake of my senior sister's face, I will let you go first." At least verbally you can't lose, no.

Early the next morning, Xia Mu and the three of them got up early in the morning, and they had to confirm whether their thoughts yesterday were correct, but in order to not be so conspicuous, Xia Mu still chose a small shop in the corner and asked for a few steamed buns and porridge casually.

"Auntie, your buns here are good, but they are much more tender than what we eat outside, but what are the tricks? I'll do it myself another day. Liu Qianya hurriedly stuffed a bun into her mouth, and it was not ordinary to taste it.

The hostess, who was supposed to be happy with the compliments of the guests, was embarrassed for two seconds, and didn't even have time to hide her unnaturalness. "What's the secret recipe for this bun, it's just prepared according to the ordinary recipe, hehe."

Seeing that the proprietress refused to speak, Liu Qianya was not embarrassed, after all, this is a craft for people to settle down, but when she was about to eat the other one in her mouth, Xia Mu directly stopped her.
