The furnishings in the room are not luxurious, most of them are low-key decoration style, and the overall reddish-brown tone makes this room look classical and elegant.

There are bookcases and desks in the room, and there is almost no dust visible on them, obviously they are often cleaned, and even the books on the bookcases are classified and neat and beautiful.

The servant in a pure white slim cloth shirt was waiting by Adam Phil's bedside, and when he saw Tang Juyi coming, he also leaned down and whispered a few words to Adam Phil, and then moved away and walked to the side, signaling Tang Juyi to come forward and communicate with Adam.

"For some reason, I can't get up to greet you, I hope you don't mind."

Some weak voices came from the bed, and the owner who could hear the sound was not in good shape.

"Understandable."

Tang Juyi shook his head in response, and then slowly walked to the side of the bed and looked at the ruler of the Phil family.

Adam Phil is not very old, at most in his forties, but a lot of his hair has turned grayish, and his majestic and heroic features have begun to show a dull taste.

Since turning on the psychic's "spiritual vision" in the submarine before, Tang Juyi has become very sensitive to the breath of human life, and at this time, he can see at a glance that Adam's qi and blood are depleted, which is obviously not the physical state that a man in the prime of life should have.

Although he knew it in his heart, Tang Juyi did not break it, but looked at the thing that was placed next to Adam's pillow - the triangular gold-veined stone slab.

Tang Juyi didn't expect that Adam would directly put this thing on the side of his pillow. In Tang Juyi's original expectation, Adam should have known about the danger of this thing, after all, the crew members of those submarines had sent back the news, and it was impossible not to warn.

Tang Juyi hesitated for a moment, but still asked:

"Mr. Adam, this slate—"

Adam coughed, but he knew what Tang Juyi wanted to say:

"If you're trying to warn me, all I can tell you is not to worry, I know how dangerous it is."

Since Adam said so, of course Tang Juyi would not continue to get to the bottom of it, but secretly kept his mind to it, and instead brought up another topic:

"Okay...... Mr. Adam, I have come to visit you primarily for the message left by the crew. I found their bodies on that submarine, found the diaries of some of them, and found something very bad. ”

Tang Juyi accentuated the tone of the word "not good", and the meaning of it is self-evident.

Adam closed his eyes:

"Tell me, what is it that would make an outsider uneasy even if he is not afraid of the monsters of the sea?"

Before Tang Juyi could speak, Adam said again:

"You don't mind him, he's my most trusted servant, and he'll keep his mouth shut whenever he learns."

Tang Juyi glanced at the white-shirted manservant standing aside, and no longer had any worries:

"That's right...... Judging from the traces inside the submarine, there have been some very strange changes in those crew members. One of them knelt down to pray like a fanatic, and pulled out his heart with his own hands and died...... There are also people who commit suicide by drinking bullets, seemingly unable to endure the mental torture. Of the remaining two people, one tried to return to land, while the other hacked him to death with a sharp axe and locked himself in a small room until he died. ”

After saying this, Tang Juyi observed Adam's expression, but found that the other party did not have any obvious reaction, and couldn't help but be puzzled, but continued to say:

Judging from the message left by the crew who carried the axe, he did not want the people or things on the ship to return to shore, because that could lead to great disaster. And the messages left by others mention places they have been, that they are not the territory that humans should set foot in, and that they are 'doing something wrong'. ”

At this time, Adam opened his eyes, and some emotions welled up in his eyes that Tang Juyi couldn't read:

"It's not a territory for humans to tread...... Similar warnings were indeed given before they set out. It's an Oriental like you, and he's got a lot of skills......"

Tang Juyi perked up and immediately grasped this clue:

"An Oriental? Is it called Liu? ”

Adam was not surprised that Tang Juyi knew Liu's name:

"Looks like you know a lot about that submarine...... The Oriental man claimed to be Liu, and he had come to the island years earlier, much earlier than most outsiders. I've asked him about the purpose of coming to Deathcurse Island, but he hasn't made it clear every time. ”

Tang Juyi hurriedly asked:

"So, Mr. Adam, where can I find this Liu? Is he still in Ocean Tide City? ”

Adam glanced at Tang Juyi and sighed:

"You may be disappointed - Liu is dead, and on the very day the submarine set off for the Devil's Fang, he committed suicide in his cabin, burning himself and the whole house to charcoal. I don't know why he made that choice, but I think he probably knew something that made him desperate. ”

Tang Juyi felt a chill in his heart:

"Burn yourself to death with a fire? That's really ...... Unbelievable. ”

Adam picked up the triangular stone slab beside him, held it in front of his eyes, and looked at the lines on it:

"Liu warned me many times before I was alive, telling me not to explore the Devil's Tooth Reef, saying that it was the Devil's Territory...... Now it seems that he may have been right. ”

Tang Juyi watched Adam touch the stone slab directly, but he couldn't help but remind:

"The crew of the ship had said that the slab might not be a dead thing, but a living being...... And many of their strange behaviors are inextricably linked to this stone slab. Mr. Adam, I advise you to be careful. ”

Adam nodded, but the reply was ambiguous:

"I understand, thank you for your advice...... If you want to know more about Liu, you might be able to check out his abandoned house, and maybe leave some clues - I said hello to the people from the police department, and they kept Liu's house as it was and didn't go in and explore. ”

Tang Juyi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a serious look:

"Liu's house? I'll go...... Also, Mr. Adam, regarding the content of our previous agreement, I need to borrow the power of the Phil family to help me find someone. ”

Adam's face showed a tired look, as if such a long conversation had consumed a lot of his physical strength:

"Say, who are you looking for? Normally, I can find the people in Haichao City for you. ”

Tang Juyi did not hide it:

"A woman named Jiang Shuiyue should be an Oriental like me, and she came to Deathcurse Island about two months ago."

Adam, however, showed a surprised expression:

"Jiang Shuiyue?"

Tang Juyi saw his reaction and immediately realized that something was wrong:

"Why, Mr. Adam knows her?"

Adam asked rhetorically:

"Don't you know? Aren't you all on that submarine? ”

Tang Juyi's heart shook violently:

"You mean—"

Adam Phil was puzzled:

"That Oriental woman named Jiang Shuiyue was on that submarine at the time, and the devil's tooth who went with my people...... Didn't you see her body? ”
