The next day, a group of 9 people took a flight to Zhoushan City, Zhejiang Province according to the established itinerary (transiting in Shanghai on the way). Zhoushan is one of only two prefecture-level cities in China to be founded on an archipelago (the other being Sansha in Hainan Province), and it's so beautiful and rich in tourism that they would love to spend a few days here if they weren't exploring the mysterious island.

Taking a taxi from the airport to Sanjiang Wharf, several people stepped on a speedboat and rode the wind and waves to Qushan Island. The weather is fine and the sea is as far as the eye can see. Hang Yi stood on the side of the ship for a while, letting the wet sea breeze blow on his face, looking up, the hundred islands were 'misty', thousands of sails were shadowed, and there were a few seabirds flying happily and freely overhead. Hang Yi took a few deep breaths and felt refreshed and relaxed. When you think about it, he hasn't traveled for a long time, even if it's not a tour.

Mi Xiaolu came out of the cabin and said to Hang Yi: "Brother Hang Yi, the wind is strong, let's go in." ”

"It's okay, I'll stand for a while and go back."

Mi Xiaolu used his superpower to see that the emotional ball on Hang Yi's head was orange-red, and knew that Hang Yi was in a good mood. He no longer persuaded Hang Yi to go back to the cabin - as long as Hang Yi could be happy, anything would be fine. Mi Xiaolu accompanied Hang Yi to stand on the side of the ship. Once again, he wished that time would stand still forever.

An hour later, the speedboat arrived at the pier on Qushan Island. After disembarking, Sina glanced at her watch and said, "It's already four o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"It is estimated that it will be dark in just over two hours. Are we still going to that island today? Sun Yuchen asked.

"Go, why don't you go?" Lei Ao said without hesitation.

"We're going to an uninhabited island, and there's no hotel, no water or electricity...... Otherwise, let's rest here for the night and go back tomorrow morning. Jing Xiaoran proposed.

"I'm for it." Lu Hua said.

Lei Ao stared at them with wide eyes: "What's the matter with you guys?" Didn't we prepare for Camp Dew from the start? Otherwise, what are you buying so many tents and food for? He deliberately shook the large duffel bag he was carrying, showing that it was not light.

"These things will definitely come in handy, don't rush to use them tonight." Lu Hua said.

"It's so boring to stay in a hotel, let's go to the island, light a bonfire, eat barbecue and drink beer, how cool it feels!"

"Wait a minute, this morning I said to bring a few bottles of toner and 'essence' and 'essence' and 'dew', you are too heavy, and you even brought beer?" Jing Xiaoran questioned Lei Ao.

Lei Ao smiled "hehe": "I bought it when I got off the plane, and it was only a few cans." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Hang Yi said, "Whether to go to that island or not today, let's raise our hands to vote." ”

As a result, only Lu Hua and Jing Xiaoran were the only two people who did not agree to go today, and they were only forced to obey.

Han Feng looked up and saw that there were many local fishermen's own fishing boats near the wharf on Qushan Island, and they were basically motorized boats that could take about 10 people, and it was just right to charter one. He said, "Let's go and ask." ”

Several people walked up to the nearest fishing boat, where the owner was cleaning up the catch of fish and shrimp on deck. Han Feng, Hang Yi, and Lu Hua jumped onto the boat through the gangway, and Han Feng asked, "Uncle, is your ship going to sail?" ”

The shipowner, who was about forty years old, looked at them: "What do you want to do?" ”

"We want to rent your boat, please send us to a nearby island, you have the final say."

The owner of the ship looked at Han Feng for a moment, and probably saw that he was the son of a rich family, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to make money, and asked, "Which island do you want to go to?" ”

Lu Hua opened the Google map on his phone, zoomed in to two kilometers, pointed to the destination and said: "It's this nameless island, a little below the Mouse Wolf Lake Island, and the distance shouldn't be too far." ”

The owner of the ship leaned over and looked at the map, his face changed suddenly, and his head shook like a drum: "No, no, I can't go to this island......"

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and Hang Yi asked, "Why can't you go?" ”

"No, get off the boat!" The shipowner issued an eviction order.

"Don't, the price is negotiable, you can say as much as you want." Han Feng didn't give up.

The shipowner's face fell, and he shouted, "I won't pay as much as I want!" Get off board! ”

The three men got off the boat inexplicably. Sina asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I don't know," Han Feng said dejectedly, "At first, he was willing, but when he looked at the map, he said that he wouldn't go." ”

Jing Xiaoran frowned: "Could there be any problems with this island?" ”

Hang Yi said to Sun Yuchen: "You use mind reading to find out what he is thinking." ”

"I've already done that." Sun Yuchen stared at the shipowner. "But he just cursed in his heart, and it was in the local dialect, so I couldn't understand what he was saying."

"One thing is for sure." "He's terrified right now, as if the island reminds him of something terrifying." ”

This sentence makes people's hearts chill. Hang Yi said: "Xiaomi, did you see the emotional ball on his head? ”

"That's right, the ball on his head was orange before, which probably means that today's harvest was good, and after you talked to him just now, the ball turned gray, symbolizing fear."

There was a moment of silence. Ji Kairui said: "Let's ask other boatmen." ”

This time, Sina and the three of them went to another ship to inquire, but the shipowner's reaction was almost the same as the former's - as soon as he heard that he was going to the nameless island, he immediately refused, and resolutely refused to reveal the reason. I asked four or five ships in a row, and it was all the same. It's really suspicious.

"What should I do?" Han Feng spread out his hands in frustration, "No matter how I raise the price, no one will go, it's really evil!" ”

"Or ...... Let's not go," Lu Hua said timidly, "These fishermen are all secretive about that uninhabited island, which means that there must be something bad on this island." ”

"We're not here for a vacation! The more this happens, the more it proves that we are in the right place? "There is definitely some secret hidden on this island, almost certainly!" ”

"But the question now is, what if there is no ship willing to go?" Jing Xiaoran said to Lei Ao, "We can't fly over like you." ”

"Why don't I fly over and take a look?" Lei Ao said.

"No, what should you do if you go alone and encounter danger?" Hang Yi said, "And there is definitely no mobile phone signal on that kind of uninhabited island, and you can't contact us if you want to." ”

Just when everyone was at a loss, a young fisherman in his twenties approached and asked tentatively, "Huh...... Excuse me, do you want to go to Onishima? ”

Everyone looked at him together, and Hang Yi asked, "What did you say?" Ghost Island? ”

"Well, that's not the name of the island, it's a random choice by the fishermen...... Anyway, it's the island below Ratwolf Lake Island, right? I just heard you guys talking. ”

"Yes, yes!" Hang Yi's eyes lit up, "Do you know the situation on that island?" Can you tell us? ”

The young fisherman hesitated, and then asked, "Tell me first, why did you want to go to that island?" ”

Hang Yi didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say, "There may be something on that island that interests us and we want to explore it." ”

Hearing Hang Yi say this, the young fisherman seemed a little 'excited': "Really? That's great! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and their reactions were unclear. Hang Yi said: "What the hell is going on on that island, why everyone is afraid to approach, you can tell me now." ”

The young fisherman nodded and said, "My name is Zhang Shun, and I am a native of Qushan Island. The isolated island you want to go to is just an ordinary uninhabited island, although it is uninhabited, but there are some rare plants and 'medicine' growing on the island, so the fishermen on Qushan Island sometimes go to the island to dig these plants and sell them in the city for money. ”

Hang nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"However, in recent times, a lot of strange things have happened on that island and in the surrounding seas. At first, there were fishermen who discovered a water monster in the sea on their way to the island......"

"Water monsters?!" Lu Hua cried out in shock, he was very 'fascinated' by mysterious creatures like water monsters. "What kind of water monster?"

"I haven't seen, and no one has actually seen the monster in its entirety, some say it looks like a giant snake, some say it looks like a giant crocodile...... I'm guessing they've only seen a part of the monster, but it's clear that some kind of mysterious creature is actually present in that area. ”

Lu Hua heard this and asked, "Has the sea monster ever attacked people or ships?" ”

"Not at the moment, but with this kind of rumor, everyone is a little scared and doesn't dare to approach that sea area."

"That's why they don't dare to go to that island?" Lei Ao stretched out his thumb behind him and pointed at the fishermen, his tone contemptuous.

"No, it's more than that!" Zhang Shun hurriedly explained, "Although the legend of the water monster is unsettling, after all, there was no attack, so there are still some brave people who drive a boat to that isolated island to pick plants and 'medicine' materials." Among them, there is my brother Zhang Teng. "But my brother and a dozen others who came to the island mysteriously disappeared and have not returned!" ”

Hang Yi glanced back at everyone and continued to ask Zhang Shun: "The meaning of 'disappearing' means that after they arrived on that island, they disappeared mysteriously?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Shun said anxiously, "As of today, 6 days have passed!" ”

"Have you ever been to the island to look for them?" Sun Yuchen asked.

"Of course I looked for it, but everyone was a little scared and didn't know what danger was in the depths of the island, so I only looked for a while on the beach and hurried back." "I wanted to drive my boat to the island to find my brother, but my mother refused to allow it. She only has two sons, and if even me disappears, she won't survive! ”

Ji Kairui asked: "Why are the other fishermen so secretive about this matter and unwilling to tell us?" ”

"For fishermen, it is very unlucky for strange things to happen at sea and for people to go out to sea and encounter accidents. So everyone was reluctant to mention it, on the one hand, because they were afraid, and on the other hand, they were afraid that bad luck would befall them. ”

"So, everyone thinks that most of the people who disappeared on the island are more likely to be more than lucky?" Ji Kairui said.

"Right...... But I don't think so! I always feel that my brother is still alive! And somewhere on that island! Zhang Shun suddenly knelt down. Please, if you want to go to that island, please help me find my brother! ”

Hang Yi hurriedly helped Zhang Shun up: "I promise you, we will search that island carefully." ”

"That's great!" Zhang Shun said excitedly, "I have a fishing boat, I can send you to that island!" The boat is parked over there, come with me! ”
