The most dangerous in the world,

It's always people and not animals.

For the past three days we have carefully explored the coast from north to south along the landing shore, but we have found nothing. We eventually came to the conclusion that this was an uninhabited island, with nothing but the Lost Forest, the extinct volcano, the Beast Zone, the Serpent's Cave, and the cabins we live in now, and nothing but a lot of green forest and endless sand—no people and no animals.

One by one, we fell to the ground like a feeble ball, feeling devastated. It tells us the hard truth: we can't escape from this place, we can only continue to live here.

I leaned my head on the log table feebly, and looked at the fire burning in the fireplace.

The dwarf came up to me, looked left and right, sat down next to me, looked at my face and said:

"Don't believe anyone but me, it's not safe here."

Don't believe anyone?

Why......?

I suddenly remembered what she had said to Arthur the first day I met him: I am Arthur, the only person you can trust.

Why would he say the same thing to me?

I looked at him puzzled and asked him, "Gnome...... Oh no, Zhao Xie. Why do you say that, is there something going on? ”

The dwarf looked left and right again, his expression was a little nervous, and he whispered: "Don't worry about it, you can remember it anyway, you saved my life, I won't harm you." ”

The dwarf left this incoherent sentence, stood up, and walked slowly towards his room. I looked at the dwarf's back, and for some reason a sudden uneasiness came over me, and I couldn't help but pray silently.

June 7, 2050 at 9 a.m. sharp

"Zhao Xie, Zhao Xie is gone!"

Early in the morning, we were awakened by Zhou Qiuxian's shouts and ran towards Zhao Xie's room. Zhao Xie's room was the innermost one on the first floor, and there was a pot of fake coral at the door. Don't ask me why I have a pot of fake coral, and don't ask me where that fake coral came from, I don't know about it, only that it has been there since I don't know when it has been there, at his door.

We rushed into Zhao Xie's room together, but the quilt inside was folded very neatly, and it was not messy at all. It seems that Zhao Xie didn't sleep here all night last night, I'm afraid it's long gone.

I suddenly remembered his words: don't trust anyone but me, it's not safe here.

Could it be that his disappearance has something to do with the people here?

I shuddered at the thought of this, feeling that each of them had a mask on their face, and I couldn't see the truest face behind the mask.

"Where did Zhao Xie go? How did he come missing? Wu Han stared at Zhou Qiuxian's face and asked her.

Zhou Qiuxian shook his head vigorously, lowered his head very low, and suddenly showed a frightened expression on his face:

"He couldn't have been caught by a monster while he was sleeping, was he?"

"Weird...... Monster. ”

"Uh......h Woo. ”

When she said this, Arthur and Xiaoyu suddenly hugged each other in fright, retreated to the corner of the wall and trembled.

"There's no way he's been captured by a monster, and he didn't sleep here at all last night." Yu Bo said, pointed to the dwarf's quilt, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued to explain:

"You see, this room is neat, there is no trace of a fight at all, and the most important thing is that Zhao Xie's quilt is still folded so neatly, it seems that he was not taken away by something, but he never came back at all. Think about it, when was the last time you saw him? ”

Yu Bo's words swept away the fear in their hearts. Then the six of us stared at each other, each beginning to think back to the last time we saw Zhao Xie.

Arthur was the first to stand up and say to us, "The last time I saw him was around 11 o'clock yesterday morning. I didn't go downstairs all day yesterday because of my stomach upset, I only went downstairs once around 11 o'clock to go to the toilet, and when I met him, it was just when I turned to the toilet. ”

"What was he doing at that time?" Yu Bo asked.

"He's standing next to the fake coral, and he's watering the fake coral." Arthur replied.

Watering false corals? Why did Zhao Xie water the fake coral?

This move is so strange.

I, standing up and looking at them, said, "The last time I saw Zhao Xie was around 1:50 yesterday afternoon, when he sat next to me for a while and then left. ”

"He didn't say anything?" Yu Bo asked.

I looked at them, clenched my fists, and replied, "Didn't say anything." ”

"Okay, next."

Zhou Qiuxian looked at us and said, "It's about 17 o'clock in the evening, I brought the roast squirrel meat to Zhao Xie's room, and then went out." You see, he still has my plate from yesterday on his bedside table. Zhou Qiuxian pointed to the plate on the bedside table and rolled his eyes.

Yu Bo looked at Wu Han and asked him, "Did you meet him yesterday?" ”

Wu Han replied: "I have encountered it." ”

"And what time did you meet him? What's he doing? ”

Wu Han thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I probably saw him around 1 o'clock in the morning today, right?" At that time, I happened to be hungry and went downstairs to look for something to eat in the kitchen. I just watched him walk around the hall with his eyes closed, and I didn't think much of it, and thought he was sleepwalking!"

"Well, he's still in the room before 1 a.m. this morning......" Yu Bo looked thoughtful as he held his chin with his hand.

"What about you? Have you ever met him? Wu Han asked.

"I met him at 19 o'clock, when I returned the glasses he had borrowed and saw him sitting in a chair in his room." Yu Bo replied.

"In that case, the time when Zhao Xie finally disappeared was 1 o'clock in the morning when I saw him." Wu Han looked at us and said.

"That's it, it seems. But where did he go?" Zhou Qiuxian asked.

Yu Bo clapped his hands and faced us: "We don't want to come here like this, let's go and look for it together!" ”

We nodded together.

Yu Bo pointed to me and Arthur and said, "Char, Arthur, you follow me along the coast to the north to search; Zhou Qiuxian, Wu Han, you go to the south along the coast to look for it, Xiaoyu, you stay at home and look after our house. That's it, let's go! ”

After Yu Bo had finished speaking, Arthur and I followed him out and headed north; And Zhou Qiuxian and Wu Han also followed out the door and walked to the south.

The three of us crossed the Lost Forest again, came to the extinct volcano, and turned back to the cabin, but found nothing, and finally waited for the return of Zhou Qiuxian and Wu Han at the door of the cabin. We waited from afternoon to evening, until about 7 p.m. to see them slowly walking in despair.

Walking in the front was Wu Han, who seemed to be holding something in his hand.

I clenched my fists, pinched my flesh deep with my nails, blood running down my fingers, and I looked at him walking in front of me.

He wrapped a small human skeleton in a huge leaf in his hand, and a few meters away from me, I could see tears on his face.

"This, this is ......"

I ran to Wu Han, looked at the white bone in his hand, pulled his clothes hard, and asked him with a trembling voice.

Wu Han didn't answer, just silently put my hand down and turned his face away.

I suddenly vomited wildly, as if I was going to vomit my lungs out. My stomach kept regurgitating acid, and my feet fell to my knees.

"Ah!!!!h I yelled.

Yu Bo and Arthur, who were standing behind me, also clenched their fists and cried when they saw the human bones Wu Han was holding in his hands.

It rained in the sky, drop by drop, on my face and on my heart. It weeps in my heart, it mourns in my heart; It streaked a bolt of lightning through it, and it made the thunderstorm roar in my ears.

I turned my head to look at them, at them who had been living under the same roof as me for the past few days, they were all wearing masks, I couldn't see clearly, I couldn't recognize them, I didn't know which of them should be worthy of my trust? Or are they all my enemies.

The rain washed down on my face, and before I knew it, my eyes were red, and I hit the ground with one punch and the other bleed......

0:00 on June 8, 2050

I couldn't sleep in bed, and my mind kept thinking about what the dwarf had said to me before he died: Don't trust anyone but me, it's not safe here.

I don't understand, what is it that makes him so afraid? And who killed him?

According to Wu Han and Zhou Qiuxian's description at night, they found Zhao Xie's white bones at the entrance of the Giant Serpent's Cave, and they deduced that he was sleepwalking to the mouth of the Giant Serpent's Cave alone, and was dragged into it by the giant snake, gnawing only the bones before throwing them out.

Joke! Big joke! I don't believe anything they say! Why do snakes gnaw? Isn't it supposed to swallow him whole? And what the dwarf said to me before he died...... Someone killed him! And this person should be in the 6 of us.

Did he offend him/her, or did he know some unspeakable secret and had to be killed......

Thinking of this, I just felt irritable in my heart, and turned to face the window.

The strong wind blew up, and the wooden windows "creaked", making people feel panicked. When a thunderclap flashed in the sky, she appeared in front of me again.

Her face felt extremely pale today, like a blank piece of paper, which looked terrifying and terrifying.

I stood up and walked over to her, clutched the wooden window frame, stared at her blood-red eyes, smiled sadly, and asked her, "Yin Ji, tell me, who should I trust under this roof now?" Or should no one believe ......"

Yin Ji didn't answer me, but sweat broke out on her forehead from time to time, grabbed my shoulder with a cold hand, and urged: "Hurry up, go find 'The X', I'm dying, I won't have much time to support, otherwise you will all die." ”

“‘The X’？ What exactly is 'The X'? Yin Ji, you answer me, I don't know, how do you ask me to find it! ”

Yin Ji smiled miserably, pointing to the beast area, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

As soon as the wind stopped, she disappeared again in front of my eyes, as if she had never been.

I woke up and looked out the window - there was nothing, not even a yin.

Why do I keep dreaming about this yin ji? Who is she? And what exactly is 'The X'......

I fell into a deep sleep in contemplation, and when I woke up again it was 10 a.m.

June 10, 2050 at 10:48 a.m

"......

It was raining heavily outside the window, and I sat cross-legged in front of the fireplace, looking at the flames burning inside, and sat alone in a daze.

The weather has been so dreary these days, and it has been raining constantly, which makes people feel annoying.

Xiaoyu walked over and blew the short whistle in her neck hard, but there was no sound, and then pointed at the fake coral in front of the door of the dwarf's room.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, I'm not in the mood to pour that fake thing."

I touched Xiaoyu's head and sent her aside. Xiaoyu pursed her lips and sat on the wooden chair with an angry "hum".

"Oh no, no! Something big is wrong, something is wrong! ”

Zhou Qiuxian ran in in a panic, holding a purple wild orange in his hand, his expression was very frightened.

"What's wrong? So flustered? Arthur happened to come over and look at her in horror and immediately asked.

"Animals outside...... All...... All poisoned! ”

"What?! Poisoned?!" Arthur's eyes widened, and his hands and feet trembled and he collapsed to the ground.

"yes, yes. You see, the wild oranges they eat seem to be poisonous. ”

Zhou Qiuxian said, holding up the purple wild orange high to show us.

"Shall we ...... Didn't you eat at all? Arthur said, tears streaming down his face.

"No, we can still make a living from fishing, and the fish in the sea should still be edible." I said.

"Yes, don't panic, let's go to the beach to confirm the situation first." Yu Bo came down the stairs and stood in front of us.

We looked at Yu Bo and calmed down.

"What about Wu Han? Where is Wu Han? Call him along. Yu Bo added.

Zhou Qiuxian said "um", and then she quickly ran to Wu Han's room and called him out as well.

The six of us walked towards the beach together, and when we confirmed that there was no problem with the fish in the sea, we breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cabin.

However, at that time, we didn't know that at the moment we turned around, a fish suddenly flipped over its belly, stared at the fish's eyes, and died there.

Its death is only the beginning, just like a dwarf can trigger a succession of deaths.

But at that time, we did not know and did not understand the cruelty of fate.
