Chapter 6: The Cursed Island
As soon as the plane landed, Berryman stepped off the plane with his suitcase in tow.
It's a seaside city, and if you want to get to Grey Muhai Island, you have to take a boat from the pier here.
After leaving the airport, he rushed to the hotel, and the rush down the road made Berryman a little tired.
The location of the hotel is on the bay, 10 minutes from the marina, which is very convenient, and it is not as sunny as the city where Berry lives.
The golden sun is scorching on the beach, a few coconut trees dance with the sea breeze on the beach, and the sound of waves is wave after wave, beautiful and peaceful, it is a good place for vacation.
But the sun here isn't a joke, and if you don't wear sunscreen, you can get sunburned in half an hour.
As soon as Berryman entered the hotel, he took a nap, woke up and took a shower, changed into a white T-shirt, put on a peaked cap and went out.
First he came to the pier, where there were many small boats carrying passengers, and the boatmen would be happy to take you to various scenic spots as long as the price was right.
On the other side of the pier is a shopping street where you can see a lot of seafood for sale, as well as craft shops, and a lot of bars, but they are only open at night.
Although this place is small, it attracts a lot of tourists, and it is a lively scene.
Upon arriving here, Burriman immediately felt a surveillance gaze coming from behind him, as if it were a laser ray, hitting his back hard.
The last time I was followed, I felt a disturbing gaze, but I didn't feel any malice.
And this time, this gaze was like a person who was about to be broken into thousands of pieces, full of deep hatred.
Could it be that Rosen's kidnapper followed? Burriman frowned, he didn't look back, but shuttled through the crowd, trying to use the cover of the crowd to shake off the watchers.
But the gaze was locked on him, and no matter how much Berry Man hid, he couldn't shake it off.
Not only that, but Burriman's feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt that the stalker was now standing behind him.
Berryman stopped, his heart pounding, for he felt a man standing behind him, and his breath had hit his neck, and it was unbearably itchy.
Does he want to do it in front of everyone? Berryman's face changed, and in order to make the next investigation smooth, he had to strike first.
As soon as Berryman gritted his teeth, he turned his head sharply, his arm attacked like a poisonous snake, directly grabbed the opponent's neck, and pressed it against the wall!
"Berryman...... Stop......" Merlin's little face flushed, and she slapped Burryman's arm in pain.
"It's you!" Berryman's eyes widened, and he immediately let go, "Why did you come along?" ”
"Ahem, ahem!" Merlin coughed violently, then breathed heavily, and her white jade neck was pinched out with a circle of red marks.
"Do you want to kill me!" She glared at Burriman fiercely, gritted her teeth, and said, "You idiot left me alone at home!" Run out and travel by yourself! ”
"How did you find me?" Berryman asked curiously.
"Humph! With a little reasoning, I can know where you are. Merlin tilted her head and snorted coldly.
It's hell if your reasoning can find me, I think it should be through the relationship of the police department, and I have investigated the use record of my ID card, and I can find out where I bought the ticket and the hotel I stayed in, Berryman said in his heart.
"Say! What are you doing here? Merlin said in a stiff voice.
"You came to investigate, you fell asleep last night and didn't hear what I said." Berryman Road.
Berryman told her the story of Viren's disappearance that he had found on the Internet yesterday.
"I don't know what I'll find on Grey Mu Island, but I feel like it might be dangerous, and you'll be holding me back if you go with me." Berryman Road.
"Humph! When the time comes, I should protect you! Merlin pointed at Berryman and said, very disdainful.
Berryman didn't reply, he walked towards the shore, while Merlin, like a curious cat, looked at this house and that in the street, and had been falling behind.
The two of them came to the shore, where the boats were moored, and all kinds of pleasure boats were lined up, and the boatmen were constantly soliciting guests.
"Phew! Do you want to take a boat? It's only 100 to Coral Island! The island view package is satisfying for you! The boatman said.
"How much to Grey Mu Island?" Berryman asked,
"Don't go! Neuropathy! As soon as he heard about Gray Mu Island, the boatman's face changed, and he no longer paid attention to them.
And they found the next boatman.
"To Grey Mu Island?" Berryman asked.
"Go away!" The boatman waved his hand to them away like a fly.
"Alas! How can you do this! Do you think we don't have any money? Merlin crossed her hands on her hips, and she was menacing.
"No matter how much money you give me, I won't be there." The boatman turned around and got into the boat, and hastened to avoid them.
I found more than a dozen boatmen in a row, and they were all amiable at first, but as soon as they heard about Gray Mu Island, their attitude immediately changed, and they avoided them as if they were hiding from the plague.
Not only the boatmen, but also the locals avoided the island when they heard about it.
Time passed slowly, and the sun soon sank below the horizon, reflecting warm orange waves of light on the surface of the sea.
"What's going on with these people? I won't take us out of a thousand. Merlin crouched down tiredly.
"I'd love to know, too." Berryman Road.
Day and night were about to alternate, and they went to fill their stomachs first, and then Merlin proposed to go shopping, but Burriman refused.
"It's been a busy day today, let's go shopping tomorrow." Berryman Road.
"Naa! Once you're here, don't stay in your room. Merlin said.
In the end, under Merlin's soft and hard bubbles, Burriman agreed.
After a trip to the shopping street, Merlin bought a lot of things, while Brimand only bought a saber that was very versatile.
The two then went to a tavern.
This tavern is not too big, with a carved wooden table and a swordfish hanging on the wall.
They sat down at the bar and ordered a beer each.
Shortly after Berryman sat down, a woman came to strike up a conversation.
"Would you like to have a drink with me?" The woman was wearing a red suspender skirt with a deep V neckline clearly visible ** silhouette, and a pair of black fishnet stockings were worn to her thighs, which was very attractive.
"Unless you tell me how to get to Grey Mu Island." Berryman glanced at her, then turned his gaze to the glass.
The woman's face changed, and she hurriedly walked away.
"A good and decent affair was ruined by you." Merlin quipped.
Berryman shrugged, indifferent, and then drank his beer, tapping his fingers on the table.
The bartender was satisfied and refilled the beer for Berryman.
"I heard you want to go to Gray Mu Island?" A dark-skinned, muscular man sat down next to Burriman.
"You're the first person I've ever dared to name the island since I came here." Berryman was a little surprised, and he looked at the other man with interest.
The man wore a green Hawaiian shirt, his bubble curly hair combed back his head, and the delicate sapphire pendant shimmered in the warm light with an open neckline.
Merlene, who was sitting next to her, stretched out her head and looked at the man curiously.
"A glass of stout, thank you." After the man ordered, he smiled at Berryman and said, "I'm not a local, and Gray Mu Island can't scare me."
"Berryman." Berryman raised his glass and introduced himself.
"Ax." The man raised his glass as well.
"Why do you want to go to Grey Mu Island? That's not a good place. Akers said.
"We're going to investigate a case!" Merlin was the first to answer, as if she was saying something particularly proud.
Ax paused as he raised his glass, then brought it to his lips.
Burriman quickly turned his head and glared at her, reminding her with his lips, "Don't do anything bad."
"I don't want to care about what you want." "But I'll remind you that this place is cursed. ”
"Cursed? What curse? As soon as she heard the word, Merlin became interested.
"There used to be the best place in the area to see the island, and a strange thing happened a long time ago."
"Oh? Be all ears. Berryman said.
"Once upon a time ......"
There was once a giant cruise ship sailing from Gray Mu Island, but on the way the ship encountered a storm at sea, 83 people died at the bottom of the sea, and 31 people went missing.
But I don't know what happened, only two people came back alive in the end, and both of them have gone crazy.
A rescue boat sent by the government went to the wrecked sea area to recover the bodies, but also encountered a storm on the way, leaving no survivors.
From this moment on, Gray Mu Island was like being cursed, and then the people who went to Gray Mu Island died, the missing disappeared, and even those who came back alive went crazy in a few days.
Slowly, fewer and fewer people went to Gray Mu Island, and the place of Gray Mu Island became a curse here, and whoever mentioned it would encounter a storm on their ship.
"That's why none of the boatmen are willing to take people to the island." Akers Road.
Missing? Go bananas? It seems to be the same situation as Rosen and Arrie, who have both been to Grey Muhai Island, and what exactly happened on this island.
"I advise you, if you want to go, prepare a few more lives, haha!" Arkes laughed.
"After hearing you say that, I want to go even more." For him, the more dangerous the place, the more attractive it is.
Akers glanced at him in surprise and said, "If you really want to go, I can give you there, but the price is not low."
"Aren't you afraid of being cursed?" Berryman asked quippedly.
"Hehe, if there's a curse, then I'm a curse myself." Akers smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean?"
"I was born on Grey Mu Island, and I am from there, so I am the only one who has dared to do this business in recent years." Akers Road.
"That is, for the past few years! Are you the only one here to carry people to Grey Mu Island? "Merlin feels lucky.
"Yes."
Merlin hurriedly took out a photo, handed it to Axes, and said excitedly: "Then have you ever seen this person!"
Ax picked up the photo and looked at it for a while, and the person in the photo was none other than Rosen.
"About a few weeks ago, I sent him to Gray Mu Island, he stayed on the island for a few days, and I sent him back." Akers Road.
Sure enough, you've come to the right place! Berry Man felt one step closer to the truth.
Merlin put on black-rimmed glasses, and her whole temperament seemed to have an extra bookish flavor of wisdom.
"I think you're suspicious......" Seeing Merlin's appearance, Berryman knew that death reasoning was about to begin.
"After my investigation......" Before Merlin could finish her sentence, Briman hurriedly reached out and gagged her.
"Investigate what?" Arks asked, confused.
"It's okay, she's a little too drunk." Brimand quickly took off Merlin's glasses, and she was so angry that she drank her drink vigorously.
"Did anything strange happen to them on Grey Muhai Island?" Berryman asked.
Akers shook his head and said, "I'm only in charge of transportation, and I don't know anything else." ”
"Does he have anyone with him?"
"There was also a woman with me, whose name I don't know. By the way, she has a rose tattoo on her arm, and they look intimate. ”
Rose tattoo? There are many women with rose tattoos, and if you can find this woman, you may be able to figure out what happened to Lawson on the island.
"Then did they mention why they went to Gray Mu Island?" Berryman asked.
"The people who go to this gray island are nothing more than some tourists who don't believe in evil and want to seek excitement, na!" Akers laughed, "Just like you. ”
It seems that knowing what happened to Lawson on the island, he must investigate it himself.
"Let's make an appointment then." Berryman Road.
"See you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, see you on the dock, the ferry tickets for two people add up to five thousand."
"No problem, see you tomorrow."
