Chapter 197: The Si family lost contact
His tone suddenly became serious, my heart tightened, I moved my body to adjust to half lying, my eyes looked at him without blinking, I was very depressed, I had a bad premonition, he was going to say it must not be good news.
"Ah Qing should have told you that there was an abnormality on the floating island, so we asked the Si family to change the report from once a month to once a week, but from today onwards, it will be changed to once a day, because it has already begun to float."
"It's already started?!"
I sat up, the movement of the floating island is a shadow in my heart, but this is too fast, not long ago there were only signs of floating, I didn't expect it to start now, I was injured all over my body, although it was not serious but it also had an impact, it was already in crisis, and then dragging such a body was not to send to death.
"Don't react so much, according to previous records, it will take about a week to a month for it to completely surface the sea, we are not far from it, look at its current speed, there should be no major movement, about twenty hours to arrive, you can rest for at least a week, during this time you only need to recuperate, you don't have to do anything, adjust your state to the best."
Ah Chuan's tone was not relaxed at all, especially the last sentence was more like an order, my heart was so heavy, the matter must be beyond the control of the Mo family, this is like a surprise inspection, we have obviously prepared for this for a long time, but we were still seen at the last moment embarrassed.
Maybe my expression was too heavy, Ah Chuan suddenly smiled and patted me: "Why put on such a look, whether you are worried or not, go or not, calm down, be careful, don't make yourself sick at the last moment." ”
He finished saying and left, and I stared at the ceiling in a daze, so fast, my fate was like swinging on the scales, never knowing when it would fall to the other side.
The sky outside was a magnificent pink and purple color, and I got up and went out the door, only to see that the setting sun burned half of the sky blood-red, and the layers of golden light on the sea were so gorgeous that I couldn't open my eyes.
I saw Brother Shen sitting on the largest and highest rock by the sea, his long white hair fluttering in the wind, which was very conspicuous, and he seemed to like the sea very much, and as long as he was free, he would sit there and watch quietly all day without getting bored.
He's quite good for fishing, I somehow thought of this, I couldn't help laughing, it's normal for him to like the sea, he has lived in the snow for a long time, the sea is another scenery for him.
But is he really looking at the sea? It was warm, but I shivered, and he said he was looking at the island.
Can he really see the island, which we need to take twenty hours by boat to get to? This is a distance that even Ah Qing can't see, and what he says is not necessarily the eyes, but the feelings.
He was really strange, he could feel the "dead man", he could feel the jade, he could feel the smell of blood that belonged to a family alone, this time he couldn't feel the jade, but he could still feel the island, was there anything worth caring about on this island?
I can't understand him, if it weren't really in front of my eyes, I definitely don't believe that there would be such a person in the world, the Mo family is also very unique, but it is far from the mystery of him.
I couldn't help but touch my spine with my backhand, it was full of wounds, and it hurt through the bandages, and I knew that there was an invisible spell on it, which would appear after I died from the blood curse.
Brother Shen is also a "dead man", I should have understood from the beginning, otherwise the spell would not have appeared, but he did not become a shriveled monster, but had a lot of special abilities.
I really wanted to ask him more about the island, but I was afraid, last time I chose to run away, this time it was not necessarily better, he didn't tell me okay, if I really said, how should I deal with it?
I sighed, I realized that I shouldn't be idle, I couldn't help but think about it when I was idle, and suddenly I wanted to fish again.
As the sun sank, the light faded little by little, and there was a slight coolness in the air, and I sneezed, and the wounds all over my body ached.
It's not early, I turned around and went back to the room, I haven't contacted the outside world for nearly a year, and I don't even feel missed, what I want most is actually half a year in the inn, peaceful and stable, let the years go by, I am indifferent.
It's a pity that it's hard to come back to this life.
I was so tired, so painful, but I couldn't sleep, I was nervous, like a child going to school for the first time, my mind was full of the tomb of Hades, and even the evil ghosts in the ghost stories I heard when I was a child, the black and white impermanence of the book of life and death of the king of Yama, etc., all dangled in front of my eyes.
These visions combined with the previous horrific experience turned into a complex and treacherous scene, because it was too chaotic, not too scary, but it made me sleep very restlessly, and I woke up with a splitting headache, more tired than before I went to bed.
This situation continued for several days, until the pain of the trauma gradually faded a little, I have not seen anyone except Ah Chen in the past few days, it seems that everyone is no longer on the island, even Lao Huang is nowhere to be seen.
Just like the darkness before dawn, the calm before the storm, even if nothing happens, I can feel the storm brewing invisibly, the quieter it is before it starts, the greater the impact when it comes.
No one cared about me, so I went to the beach to fish on my own, and I couldn't catch anything, so I gave up my fishing rod and sat by the sea all day like a god brother, and I didn't see him for several days.
It's been eight days, no one has shown up except Ah Chen, my external injuries are almost better, the wound has scabbed, there is no need to take medicine again, even Ah Chen has disappeared, I suddenly experienced Ah Qing's feeling, it turns out that a lonely person on the island is like this.
Day 9, Day 10...... Thirteenth day.
I was restless, I didn't do anything but I was physically and mentally exhausted, I looked at myself in the mirror, thin and haggard, I couldn't eat almost anything these days, I didn't feel hungry, they still didn't show up, I couldn't help but wonder if they were lying to me, it was Lao Huang who was supposed to participate in the mission, and at this time they had already gone.
Probably not...... The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and went straight to the medical room, I didn't knock on the door, I went directly to twist the doorknob, the door was locked, and Ah Chen was not inside.
I don't know why I have this suspicion, but once the seed is planted, it will take root and sprout, I was restless, I sat by the sea all morning, went to the door of the restaurant early to wait, I met the cook again, not the one I had seen before, but they looked the same, startled by me, and fled without saying anything.
I didn't eat, so I sat at the door and waited, and after waiting for a long, long time, I finally saw Lao Huang coming down from the mountain.
I breathed a sigh of relief as long as Lao Huang was still there, and the terrible scenes I imagined would not exist, and Lao Huang still looked as usual, and naturally greeted me.
He walked into the restaurant, didn't take a few steps and stopped: "What are you doing sitting at the door?" Finished eating? ”
I shook my head, hesitated to stand up and eat with him, his spirit was much better than mine, he also noticed my abnormality, raised his hand and touched my forehead: "It's not burned, why do you look so bad?" ”
"Maybe I didn't sleep last night." I smiled wryly, and he didn't ask any more.
I really wanted to say a few more words to Lao Huang, but I didn't know what to say, and in the end I could only watch him leave, I raised my hand to cover my face, if this kind of day continues, sooner or later I will go crazy.
It was another uneventful day, I went to bed punctually with my eyes closed, only to be woken up when I was most asleep, I was used to being vigilant, and I would wake up at the slightest sound, and just now, I heard a discordant "squeak" from the door.
"Who?!"
I sat up all of a sudden, a flashlight suddenly lit up, and I squinted to see that it was Ah Qing and Ah Chuan, they were neatly dressed, completely different from their usual casual clothes.
Sure enough, they were still there, and I quickly jumped out of bed: "What's wrong?" ”
Their faces were very serious, and Ah Qing said in a low voice: "Change your clothes, set off immediately, the Si family is lost." ”
My heart tightened, I didn't ask much, I changed into the clothes that had been prepared as quickly as possible, and wearing this black seemed to have really become a Mo family.
"What time is it?" I followed them out of the sanatorium and walked briskly down the hill.
"Forty a.m." Ah Qing spoke.
"What happened to the Si family?"
"I'll tell you when I get on the boat, don't ask so much." Ah Chuan suddenly spoke.
I quickly shut up, looked up and saw that the sky was overcast, there were no stars and no moon, the whole island was shrouded in shadows, we passed by the house where Lao Huang lived, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at it a few times, I didn't expect that I couldn't even say goodbye, he knew in the morning that it would definitely be thunderous.
We came all the way to the harbor, and I saw in the distance a few people standing by the harbor, nineteen, god brother, eleven, all of them no less, and a ship was sailing on the sea, bigger than I had seen before, and the faint light illuminated the dead darkness.
There seemed to be quite a few people on the boat, it was still very cold in the middle of the night, I hugged my arms, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
The boat soon docked, stirring up a string of splashes, and seven or eight people walked off the boat, led by Xiao Qi, who was followed by a younger and more beautiful girl, Danfeng's eyes blinked, and she could hook the man's soul.
Except for the girl I didn't know, everyone had long or short swords in their hands, and I was startled and turned my head slightly, only to find that Nineteen and Eleven also had two pinned to their waists.
I couldn't help but think of the shooting range, a group of people who obviously had guns, and they still used ancient cold weapons, but the more this is the case, the more people can feel the mystery of this ancient family.
"The safety of this island is up to you." Ah Qing said to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi nodded, but the girl behind her suddenly jumped up and hugged Ah Qing's arm, tiptoed and kissed him on the face, and her voice was sweet: "Brother Qing, be careful, I'll wait for you to come back." ”
