Chapter 10: The Closed Island

Gray Mu Island revealed its true face at this time.

In the tribe, a thick gray mist filled the air, and vaguely visible figures swayed in the fog.

Berryman peeked through the crack in the curtain of the stone house to see the strange behavior of the Mork.

The fat man Saka hid in the corner of the house, holding his head in his hands and shivering.

"What are they doing?" Curious, Berryman took out his camera and filmed them.

Shooting is his habit, and the more interesting things are, the more he wants to shoot them.

"We're getting out of here!" Saka stood up, lowering his voice and speaking at a rapid pace.

"Why?" Berryman didn't look back, concentrating on taking pictures.

Saka pulled Burriman back from the curtain, "Didn't you see? They look like ghosts! ”

"You're too scared, aren't you? Maybe they're doing some kind of mystical custom. Although Burriman said this, he knew it in his heart.

These strange behaviors of theirs are almost the same as the mentally ill Yari at the time of suicide, this is a clue, how could Burriman miss it?

"You don't understand at all! They ......," Saka explained indignantly, as suddenly his fat body shuddered violently, his tongue knotted.

"What are they? Make the words clear. ”

Saka looked like he was being choked by the throat and couldn't speak, and he pointed behind Berry with a trembling hand.

Berryman turned around, and suddenly shuddered, and at some point, Ax walked in.

Akes' burly body blocked the doorway, his head shaking strangely like a ribbon in the wind, and his eyes opened like two ping-pong balls.

Berryman shrank back and swallowed nervously, "Ax? ”。

Ax didn't answer, more than ten seconds passed, and he looked straight at himself, without blinking his eyes.

At this moment several Morks also came and blocked the doorway, and the sound of bubbles came from their throats, filling the small stone house.

"Mom...... Help me......" Saka closed his eyes and pressed against the wall, desperate to escape through it.

The Morks took a step forward and pushed them against the wall.

"Saka, are you ready?" Burriman touched Saka beside him with his elbow.

"Huh?" Saka slowly opened one eye, and before he could react, he was pushed by Burriman towards the Mork.

"Ahh

"Run!" Burriman took the opportunity to jump over the fallen man and quickly helped Saka to his feet.

"Uh......" Akers reached out and grabbed Saka's collar.

"Helpβ€”" Saka kicked Ax out of the way with a barrage of kicks, and his collar was ripped off.

"Let's go!" Berry ran out of the stone house with Saka in tow.

As soon as he got outside, a thick gray mist was inhaled into his lungs, choking Burriman's violent cough, which smelled of burnt plastic and choked like chili peppers.

I saw the Morks emerge from the mist, their bubbles getting louder and louder, like some kind of warning, and they are shaking their heads and walking over.

"Run this way!" Saka pointed down the mountain.

The two of them ran wildly along the way down the mountain, and from time to time they tripped over rocks and fell to the ground, their heads bleeding, but they never had time to look back to see if they had been overtaken.

Fortunately, the Morks moved slowly and were quickly thrown off.

Saka gradually stopped, he held on to a tree, and gasped violently, "Ho! Ho! I...... Can't run! ”

Burriman also stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked over to Saka.

"If you run to this place, they shouldn't be able to catch up." Berryman looked back, his vision was foggy, and the shadows of the trees blurred from near to far.

"You guy...... You almost killed me just now! Saka's face flushed with anger.

"Actually, I saved us, and I pushed you because only you can knock them away, and I can't do it with my size."

Seeing that Saka was gradually discouraged, Brimand asked, "Do you know what is going on?" ”

"The wild men! His uncle's! Start going crazy at night! I've had to leave the tribe in the middle of the night these days, and I can't sleep for days! Saka gritted his teeth.

"It should be sleepwalking, a psychiatric professor explained it to me before. Do they do this every day in the middle of the night? ”

"Crazy every night! During the day, he pretended to be stupid and said that nothing happened in the middle of the night. You say, sleepwalking? That has group sleepwalking! Saka didn't believe him.

"So you say, they don't remember the middle of the night? If you're really pretending to be stupid, do you need to wait until the evening to attack you? The island is full of their own people, and there is no need to pretend to be a ghost. ”

"I really don't understand what they want to do, and once I almost got caught." Saka still has lingering apprehensions in retrospect.

"After staying for a few days, you haven't thought about leaving?" Berryman was puzzled.

Saka was silent, and Burriman saw the fear in his eyes.

"Only Axes can take people out of ......"

"Why?" Burriman stared at Saka intently, wondering if he had misheard.

"It's the curse of the island! I shouldn't have been here in the first place! ”

Curse...... Berryman's heart was shocked,

"There were five of us who came to the island, and they couldn't stand it and left first, and the next day I saw their bodies washed back on the island, and I was the last person in this group......"

"What's the situation? Did they have a storm? Ax didn't take them away? ”

"I don't know what happened to them at sea, but after Akers sent us to the island, he went back first."

"Then he's back today, and you can go back tomorrow."

"No, I've got to get things done before I go back."

"You're not here to play, are you?" From the very beginning, Berryman felt that he had some purpose.

Saka jerked his head and looked at him warily.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it, I'm not interested in your business."

"Don't tell me, you have to help me with this." "Now there are only two of us left on the island except for the Morks, and we have to help each other." ”

"Okay."

Ax lit a cigarette and gave one to Burriman, saying, "The five of us came to the island in search of an experiment, and the man who hired us said that if we brought the experimentation back to him, we would be given 50,000 yuan for each bottle!" ”

"Fifty thousand yuan! What is so valuable? ”

Saka pulled out an empty glass jar from his pocket, the glass was very thick, half smaller than a can.

"This is the glass jar with the experiment in it, and I heard that there is a research institute on the island that will have this thing in it."

Berryman took the glass jar in his hand and observed, unscrewed the lid, and sniffed inside, but the inside of the jar had been cleaned and there was no smell at all.

"I've been here for days, but I haven't found the location of the institute, and if I can't find it tomorrow, I'll leave this place quickly! I've had enough! Saka slammed the cigarette butt to the ground and slammed it down.

Institute? Perhaps investigate it too, Berryman thought.

The two of them had built a bonfire in the place, and planned to spend the night there, and they would not dare to go back until the Mork sleepwalk was over, and Saka said that they would go back to bed at dawn.

The two spent the night camping and returned to the tribe after dawn.

At this time, the tribe was silent, and the sleepwalking Morks all returned to the stone houses, as if nothing had happened last night.

Berry Man returned to the stone house, he was too tired to open his eyes, and he soon fell asleep as he lay on the haystack.

……

"Wake up, we're about to go."

Berryman felt his body shake, and he slowly opened his eyes, and he was greeted by a frowning Ax, which made him sit up sharply and look at the other man warily.

"Have a nightmare? It's like hell to see me, hahaha! Akers said with a smile.

At this time, he gave people a feeling of vitality, compared to his strange appearance last night, it did not look like the same person at all.

Berryman pinched the base of his nose to dispel the sleepiness, then locked his gaze on Ax's face and quipped, "You must have slept soundly last night, right?" ”

"That's right, it's better to sleep at home than outside." Ax had no idea that Brickman was testing him.

If there was an unusual look on Akes' face at this point, it would have been caught by the observant Berryman, but Ax was as sunny and optimistic as ever.

Maybe Saka was right, they didn't remember what happened last night, and Akers didn't look like he was playing dumb.

"Let's get ready and go, I'm going to help you find your lost little girlfriend today, aren't you? I'm waiting for you outside. Ax turned and walked out of the stone house.

The members of the search team are: Ax, Berryman, Asuna, and Saka.

They were each armed with a knife, but they did not equip the visitors with shotguns, and before setting out, Berryman had his camera around his neck.

After the preparations, they set off immediately, Akers, who was familiar with the environment, led the team in front with a knife, and Asuna protected the rear.

There are many paths carved out by the Morks in the jungle, and if you follow the paths, you will not step on the traps they have laid for hunting.

Under Akes's explanation, their traps were easy to identify, and in order to avoid hurting their own people, they used to use round stones to place next to the traps as markers, and in less than half an hour along the way, they found 28 traps.

Up and down the winding path, they arrived at the beach in less than twenty minutes.

This beach is not the same as when Bergriman woke up on the island, but the other side of the island.

On the beach, three bodies swollen by the sea collapsed here, their faces buried in the sand, all dressed in the clothes of the Mork people.

"Curse!" Saka exclaimed, his face pale with fright.

Akes and Asuna seemed to have long been accustomed to seeing each other, silent, and their eyes were full of sadness.

"What are you doing? Call the police! Berryman hurriedly shouted, but he found that the others were indifferent.

Saka took out his phone and handed it to Berryman, "I'm afraid you don't know, there's no signal on this island. ”

Burriman took the phone and saw a cross on the signal grid.

"It's not just that there's no signal, haven't you noticed? Not even a single bird flew in. Saka said.

This...... Berry looked up at the sky in amazement, there were no flying birds, no wind flowing, just a sky like a dirty rag.

This gave him a delusion.

The beach is fake, the sea is fake, the air is fake, and even those few dark clouds are as if someone put them on, without a sense of reality.

Berryman vaguely felt that the island they were on was less like being on earth, more like it existed in some enclosed and independent space.

"This is indeed a curse, and it is against the Mork people......" said Akers, who looked very haggard at this time, while Asuna clenched her fists unwillingly.

"We Mork people are on the island, as if they are isolated from the world, facing only this lonely island, and in fact, we are not happy at all."

"We wanted to get out of here, but we couldn't, and the people who tried to leave were all caught in a storm at sea, like these three bodies, all drowned...... And all the dead were washed back by the sea......"

"We can't escape this island even if we die!"

"Almost every once in a while, someone tries to leave without believing in evil, and yet ......"

He pointed to the three corpses at his feet, "This is the end!" ”

"Then why can you?" Berryman questioned Ax.

Ax turned his head and shook the sapphire pendant around his neck, he looked at Berry Man for a long time, and said, "Everyone asks me that, but ...... I really...... I really don't know! ”

"I've tried to take people from our people, but everyone except you outsiders has drowned at the bottom of the sea."

This is the curse of the island, the curse that the Morks will never be able to leave!
