Chapter 358: Special Status
The photo is in color, but the colors have become somewhat blurry due to creases and other factors. Even so, the woman in the photo still looks beautiful and beautiful.
Dark hair with a slight purple glow, special orange-red pupils, faintly golden appeared under the illumination of the swaying lights overhead, and the combined facial features were also very familiar to Tang Juyi.
"Jiang Shuiyue?!"
Tang Juyi almost didn't call her name directly, but fortunately he reacted quickly, but he was shocked in his heart.
Yes, Jiang Shuiyue, the Jiang Shuiyue who worked for Black Lotus in the real world of the earth, and accompanied Tang Juyi through the last period of time, and was ridiculed by Tang Juyi countless times for "some parts are a little small".
Before leaving the real world, Tang Juyi had left a small gift for Jiang Shuiyue, and told her to open it only when she lost the goal she was pursuing, so that she would get a choice.
This so-called choice is actually an invitation to go to the extradimensional.
According to Tang Juyi's original idea, if Jiang Shuiyue had the idea of continuing to explore the superdimension, then he could use this invitation to become a transcendent. And even if Jiang Shuiyue becomes a detached person, there is a high probability that she will not intersect with Tang Juyi again, so it is not a big deal.
But Tang Juyi never expected that in this assessment from hell, Jiang Shuiyue's face would appear.
Tang Juyi was very sure that this facial features and temperament were that smart woman, unless the extradimensional could find a second person who was almost the same as Jiang Shuiyue in countless parallel worlds.
Judging from the previous intersection with Jiang Shuiyue, Tang Juyi certainly knows that most of the people in this photo are her.
"It shouldn't be...... Except for her very good brain, she is completely normal person, why did she enter the dimensional task of hell difficulty? Could it be that she also happened to have the Book of Sins? Is there such a coincidence? ”
Under the pressure of the emotions stirring in his heart, Tang Juyi put the photo back in his pocket watch and began to think about the development trend represented by the current situation:
"First of all, let's assume that Jiang Shuiyue herself participated in this mission, then since she knows me, there is a high probability that the assigned role is also related to my role...... In addition, the photo is placed in such a special position, it is likely to be some special relationship, such as a lover or a brother and sister, if you don't have a little more discipline, maybe you have both......"
Quickly dispelling this idea of violating morality, Tang Juyi tried his best to let his thoughts develop in a normal direction:
"Since we have a special relationship, but she didn't show up at the beginning of the mission, it can be assumed that my character is likely on the way to find her. Going to a place by boat just to follow the footsteps of a woman with special significance? It's a plot that seems reasonable. ”
Tang Juyi didn't think that Jiang Shuiyue would be on the boat he was on, because in that case, the two of them could be assigned to the same room, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before they found each other.
"Okay, the preliminary speculation is that 'I' embarked on a journey to find the location of 'Jiang Shuiyue', and now I am at sea, and I don't know what the destination is."
Tang Juyi stood up, analyzing the current situation while beginning to search for possible clues in the room.
The first is the suitcase with the clothes, there is nothing special in it. The second is the small table in the room, on which is placed a flat piece of stationery, which seems to have been carefully preserved.
Tang Juyi approached the wooden table, the light above his head flickered and dimmed, making it a little difficult for him to read the paper.
On the paper is Juanxiu's handwriting, and it can be seen that the person who wrote it is a woman:
————
This is my third day on this small island.
As I got to know the small town on the island, the more I felt a strange cloud hovering behind it.
Whether it was the "gods" who were filled with awe and fear in the mouths of the inhabitants, or the fanatical believers who behaved strangely, it made me doubt their beliefs. I always felt that their faith had strayed from a certain trajectory and was growing in an unsettling trend......
I tried to rummage through the city's newspaper offices to find out that the newspapers of six months ago had been destroyed by man, and they were destroyed cleanly, as if they had never existed in that year.
The owner of the hotel had a bad attitude, especially when talking about what happened half a year ago, and he even tried to kick me out of the hotel.
If I remember correctly, half a year ago, it was the time of the big shipwreck.
I don't know what else I'll find if I dig deeper, but I can't stop because I can feel that something is not far from waking up......
My dear, if you can receive my next letter in three days' time, it means that I am still fine, and I am not more worried about my safety.
Love your river and moon
————
After reading the content of this letter twice with a rather complicated mood, the words in Tang Juyi's heart finally turned into a sigh:
"You guessed it, it's indeed a lover...... Why are all the men I've been playing so miserable lately? Before, he was kidnapped by strange people in the mountains and forests, and his wife was forced into a haunted house, but this time it was simply his wife missing...... It's uncomfortable to think about. ”
Turning the letter paper over, Tang Juyi noticed the date on it:
July 7, 4396
"Well, it seems to be an alternate age, and the civilization of this world has developed for more than 4,000 years since the emergence of the universal dating algorithm...... But it is a bit too much to say that this garbage navigation vehicle has been used for so many years. ”
Tang Juyi put away the letter paper and put it in his personal pocket, then moved his gaze to the other two pieces of paper on the table.
One is a topographic map of a small island, with the city occupying 3/4 of the island's area marked, circled in red marker, and scribbled with the words "Death Curse Island" and "Ocean Tide City".
Judging from the ugliness of the characters, it looks very much like Tang Juyi's own style.
This realistic operation made Tang Juyi a little unhappy, but he didn't care too much, but complained about the name of the island:
"Cursed Island, I really don't know which one came up with the idea of naming the ghost...... Why can't we come up with a festive name, like 'Good Luck Comes' or 'The Sun Rises in the East'? ”
Putting the map away, Tang Juyi then looked at the newspaper under the map.
The newspaper office of this newspaper has been blurred, and the advertisements and miscellaneous news on it are also unclear, obviously I don't want Tang Juyi to know too much, the only place that can be seen clearly is only a small column:
[Profound condolences]
[Nine months have passed since the shipwreck that occurred in the misty seas, and the wreckage of the ship has been excavated, but the remains of the victims have not yet been found]
At the top of the newspaper is the date:
September 2, 4396
At this point, Tang Juyi also showed a sudden look:
"It's been almost two months, huh? No wonder I ended up on a journey to the unlucky-sounding island...... It turned out that his wife hadn't heard from him for two months. Anyway, this person can really sit still, and he stubbornly lasted for more than a month to find someone? ”
Other than that, there were only a few inconsequential things on the table, such as a ballpoint pen with a dry tip and a rusty utility knife with a broken telescopic button.
In order to avoid tetanus caused by his own operation error, Tang Juyi gave up the idea of carrying the rusty utility knife with him.
After a general search, there was almost nothing useful left in the room, except for a few batteries and a few bullets found in the small cabinet next to the table.
As a man who was called a scavenger by his roommate when he played puzzle games, Tang Juyi adhered to the good style of not wasting and did not let go of any props that could be used.
Putting the bullet into the magazine, Tang Juyi carefully pinned the gun, and then looked at the door:
"Once you've explored the first scene, it's time to go outside."
