Chapter 395: Invitation
Tang Juyi's expression changed from surprise to confusion, and then showed a look of enlightenment:
"It turned out that the woman was her...... Then it's no wonder. I did see the body of a woman on the submarine, but because her face was hard to distinguish, and there was nothing left to identify her, I didn't know it was her......"
After saying this, Tang Juyi also sighed, looking very pity:
"I didn't expect her to be involved in that journey......
Adam Phil showed sympathy:
"I understand your feelings, Tang Bujuyi. If you're not mistaken, she's probably your friend, right? ”
Tang Juyi lowered his head, as if he was still immersed in a depressed mood:
"It's both a friend and a work partner. She came to the island before I wanted to learn about the culture and investigate something...... I was upset when she lost the news, and I didn't expect to hear about her death......"
Yes, Tang Juyi did not frankly say the fact that "Jiang Shuiyue is not on the submarine", but lied to Adam's words and concealed Jiang Shuiyue's whereabouts.
He knew very well that since Jiang Shuiyue had gone to the Devil's Tooth Reef two months ago, he must have followed the four expedition members on the submarine into the crack at the bottom of the sea and arrived at the cave left by the ancient civilization.
And now that Jiang Shuiyue's body has not been found, then these clues almost all point to a truth - Jiang Shuiyue did not return with those team members, but stayed in the cave under the deep sea.
"The crew members should have sent back the message when they came home, but Adam didn't know about it...... This shows that although the crew members explained the circumstances of Jiang Shuiyue's death, they did not mention where she died, causing Adam to mistakenly believe that she was also on that boat......"
Thinking of this, Tang Juyi immediately had a guess:
"Then if you say it, either Jiang Shuiyue did die in exploring the underwater cave**, or it is ......"
"The crew thought she was dead in that hole."
Although he didn't know what Jiang Shuiyue's situation was, the underwater cave under the Demon Reef was obviously a place that Tang Juyi had to go to.
This is not only to explore the large-scale hallucinatory events on the Death Curse Island, but also because this is the exclusive quest line for the character played by Tang Juyi.
From the very beginning, Tang Juyi's character was given a purpose to go to Death Curse Island, that is, to find his lover Jiang Shuiyue, and many of his actions on the island were also based on this ultimate goal. For example, to obtain the friendship of the Phil family is to pave the way for finding clues to Jiang Shuiyue.
Now that we know the place where Jiang Shuiyue last appeared, Tang Juyi, as her "husband", of course can't say that she won't explore, which will inevitably lead to a mismatch between the choice and the role, and cause a drastic reduction in hidden benefits.
As for why he lied to Adam, this is also Tang Juyi's cautious consideration.
If Jiang Shuiyue did die under the sea, then it didn't matter where she died, and this lie didn't matter. But if Jiang Shuiyue deliberately made others think that he was dead, and stayed alone in that cave for a special purpose, then Tang Juyi's lie would not affect Jiang Shuiyue's layout.
According to Tang Juyi's understanding of Jiang Shuiyue, with her IQ, she should not be able to die one step ahead of those four crew members, so it is very likely that she created her own fake death.
"Anyway, you have to go to the cave under the sea......"
Restrained his emotions, Tang Juyi looked very heavy:
"Mr. Adam, could you please tell us about Jiang Shuiyue? I wanted to know what she was going through on this island. ”
Although Adam was weak, he did not refuse Tang Juyi's request:
"She came to the island a few months ago, claiming to be an explorer, to learn about the island's hallucinations of death."
After a pause, Adam closed his eyes again, as if caught in a memory:
"She was an extraordinary woman and she was unique in every way. At that time, we happened to be short of manpower, so we sent a notice in Haichao City to recruit, and it was at that time that she came to the manor. ”
Tang Juyi followed Adam's words and said:
"She must have stood out from the crowd of self-nominees to board that submarine, right?"
Adam agreed with Tang Juyi's words, obviously remembering Jiang Shuiyue vividly:
"She's reflexes, memory, and mobility, and she's so bold that she's not afraid of monsters she's never seen before......"
At this point, Adam shook his head:
"I don't know much about her, because it didn't take long for her to set off for the Devil's Fang...... Unfortunately, the people who knew her best were now dead in the submarine. ”
Tang Juyi was silent for a while, and then said:
"Thank you."
Adam waved his hand:
"No thanks. I am also saddened by her loss. In fact, the sacrifice of every member of the expedition was equally heart-wrenching. ”
Tang Juyi took a deep breath and seemed reluctant to bring up this topic again:
"In that case, I can only go to Liu's house to look for clues. My old friend died because of the cave under the sea, and I'm sure I'm going to find out the truth behind it. ”
Afterwards, Tang Juyi said goodbye to Adam and left the room.
As Tang Juyi said, he must understand this underwater cave, so the oriental "Liu", who had given a warning before the expedition set off, naturally became Tang Juyi's preferred object of investigation.
…………
It didn't take long for the "deceased" prophet Amir to suddenly reappear in Haichao City, and clarified the previous "rumors", claiming that he was safe and sound, but only went out for a period of time in a low-key manner.
(The man who was hit in the chest by a bullet from Tang Juyi also suffered the same thing, but I didn't bother to write, just understand it.) )
In this way, Tang Juyi and Ryan's wanted will naturally be lifted, but both of them have returned from Nancheng at this time, and the people of the Bosh family will naturally not be able to do anything to him again.
The best opportunity to capture Tang Juyi has been missed by them, and their old rival has also got what they want, and the people sent out have inexplicably fallen into the sea monster's lair and lost most of them, which caused the Bosh family to be angry, but there is nowhere to vent.
This suppressed emotion finally befell the outsider Bai Zhan, after all, he was the decision-maker and commander of that operation, and of course he had to bear the main responsibility.
This was a bad luck for the Byzantis. But before he could get out of this trouble, he got an invitation from Emile - to be precise, an invitation from Emile and Tang Juyi.
The invitation, delivered by Siris, was out of the sights of the Bosh and Phil families, and was delivered to Byzanti while he was wandering around the city.
Although because of the mutual harm with Tang Juyi before, Byzham's first reaction was that it was a trap, but he also had a trace of curiosity.
After all, who would send an invitation letter to their enemy for no apparent reason? Hongmen Banquet? In that case, such an obvious trap would be too insulting for him to worship.
