"Char, it seems that we are inseparable from each other."

Arthur stuck her tongue out at me as before, and walked over to me, followed by a light rain that followed her.

"Yes, we have more than one fate." I quipped.

Arthur was stunned for a few seconds, his face flushed slightly. Perhaps shocked by my sudden "love words", she couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then patted Xiaoyu's hand twice, and said to her:

"Xiaoyu, from now on we are a group, you have to follow closely behind your brother and sister, don't run around, you know?"

Xiaoyu looked at me, smiled slightly, looked at Arthur again, and nodded.

I crouched down and reached out to gently stroke Xiaoyu's head. She was so comfortable with my touch that she screamed "...... whine".

In the light rain, she was pushed into the sea by Zhou Qiuxian and finally died on the beach......

Looking at her now vivid and lovely face, I couldn't help but open my hands and hold her body to my chest, resting her head on my shoulder, then straightened up again, and whispered in Arthur's ear:

"You have to be careful with Bo."

Arthur looked at me suspiciously, then at Yu Bo in front of him, and asked in the same low voice:

"What's wrong? He...... Any questions? ”

I frowned, not knowing how to explain the cause and effect to her, and I didn't know if she would believe herself even if I did, so I whispered to her, "You'll find out later." ”

"Later?"

"What are you still muttering? In order to survive, we must first understand the environment of this island. Don't grind, hurry up! "Yu Bo, who was standing at the forefront, kept waving at us, urging us as before.

"Let's go." Arthur glanced at Yu Bo and said to me.

I gave a soft "um" and followed Arthur's footsteps behind them.

The sun was scorching, and the air was as hot as ever.

Little by little, it scorched my skin, and I kept my head down, sweating, and kept walking along this curvy beach.

"Wow~Wow~"

The waves roared and roared in my ears, piercing my ears one by one, and I felt a feeling of irritability.

The sea was turbulent, but the fish in it did not know its danger and rushed straight towards the reef.

We were the fish, swarming into death, over and over again.

"What's wrong? Char. Your expression looks a little terrifying. ”

Arthur smiled slightly, stretched out his left hand, and raised my eyebrows.

"It's okay, I'm just reminiscing about some of the past and feeling a little restless." I barely managed to squeeze out a smile and pretend to be fine.

"Hey, I'm talking about you!" Yu Bo turned his head to look at us, his brows furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied.

"The forest is ahead, from now on you have to pay attention, I don't know what will be on this island, so each of you must hold the hand of the person next to you, don't let go, follow closely behind me, don't fall behind, understand?"

We looked at Yu Bo's serious expression, nodded one after another, and each stretched out his hand to take the people around us.

“……”

The moment I touched Arthur's hand, I was reminded of the time when a strange man had appeared in front of my eyes with a difficult face.

I was in tears at that time.

But I, why do I shed tears?

Why did you suddenly think of him?

I didn't care about this in the last reincarnation, but after a disaster, I suddenly felt that he had become another key point, a key point that could help me know everything and press the memory switch.

But I couldn't remember him at all as before, I didn't know who he was, and I didn't know what the relationship between him and me was, but I was lost, as if my heart had been hollowed out, I grabbed the hands of the people around me tightly, suppressed the emotions in my heart, and walked towards the dangerous forest.

The fish on the seashore, dead, did not know the danger, and crashed straight into the reef......

But we are not the fish, we will avoid the reef in the desperate sea, and swim back to the sea that truly belongs to us.

June 1, 2050 at 11:41 AM

I stepped on this wet land, holding Arthur and Xiaoyu's hands tightly, and looked around left and right.

Arthur, as before, told me the story as he walked, trying to dispel my uneasiness, and I pretended to listen attentively, echoing her a few times from time to time.

It's here, and I'm standing up.

The leaves of the trees staggered and fell, like the flourishing flowers that covered the wet soil among the verdant greenery.

I raised my head and peered through the countless gaps in front of me, gazing at the light that penetrated through me......

It's glaring.

Same as before.

Here it comes.

I, grasping the hands of both of them, stopped, staring ahead.

A fierce wind struck, like the Raging One grabbing the loose leaves from the ground and slashing them across our faces, obscuring their eyes.

"Quack~~~~~

At this moment, there was a sudden roar like a wild beast around us, and it slowly approached, surrounding us to the left and right, bringing us closer together, and suddenly fearful......

The black shadow suddenly struck, and was about to pounce out.

"Go!"

Yu Bo shouted, then quickly took out a worn-out lighter from his pocket, lit the wooden branch under his feet, quickly held it in his hand, and glared angrily in the direction of the beast.

I also watched the beast in the bush with Yubo.

Its eyes flashed twice, as if they were blood-red, staring at me staring.

Its eyes are blood-red? I don't know why I thought of Yin Ji.

It looked at Yu Bo for three seconds, then suddenly turned its head quickly and disappeared into the jungle.

"It's gone!"

Arthur, breathing a sigh of relief, patted his chest to calm himself. But I turned around and kept picking up the fallen leaves on the ground, getting wet mud and sticking to my body.

"Summer ...... Char, what are you doing? Arthur asked, looking at my incomprehensible strange behavior in confusion.

I didn't have time to explain to her, so I quickly took off my clothes and put them on Xiaoyu's head, and then snatched the lit wooden branch from Yu Bo's hand and stood in front of Xiaoyu.

"It's coming!"

"Hum~~"

Swarms of poisonous bees met the light rain, and I shouted and waved the branches, pouring her weak body into my arms, and fending off the bite of the poisonous bees with my back covered with fallen leaves.

"I'll help you!"

"And me!"

Seeing my embarrassment, the two of them set fire to the branches around them, raised them in their hands, and waved them at the poisonous bees that flew in.

The flash of fire, their red eyes, they paused in the air for a moment as if they were thinking, then quickly fluttered their wings, turned their heads, and flew towards the blue.

I looked at the blue, panting and slumping to the ground, but my hand still trembled and stretched out to Xiaoyu, pulled off the clothes covering her head, and smiled reluctantly.

"Uh......h Woo......"

The light rain pounced on me, holding my head firmly with her immature hand, and sobbed.

I gently patted her on the back and hugged her body to soothe her emotions. She brought her mouth to my ear again, and called out in a very faint voice, "Brother," and rubbed her hand back and forth against the short whistle on her chest.

That's what she used to call it at this time.

Brother......

Am I really her brother?

Although it is not impossible, after all, I also had amnesia before, and I don't remember the past. However, if she is really my sister, why did she never recognize me in the last reincarnation, when we lived together for a whole month? Is it her trouble? Or is it something else?

Anyway, I should check first.

I gasped and whispered in her ear, "If I really am a brother or sister related to you, you nod your head gently." ”

Xiaoyu glanced at me suspiciously, her eyes revealing some sadness, and then nodded slowly.

I really...... It's her brother, and we're really brother and sister.

Although I really couldn't accept it emotionally for a while to have a sister for no reason, I still unconsciously took her hand and slowly stood up.

I patted off the fallen leaves and mud on my body, took Xiaoyu's hand, looked at Arthur beside me, and walked forward with them.

June 1, 2050 at 1:58 p.m

We walked for a while, and the scene was finally a little different from what we had just done - the abyssal swamp just now, the gurgling water now, one swallowing people in the dark, the other surging in the open, were all extremely dangerous, and each of them was filled with a terrifying thing that gave people goosebumps.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~"

The noise of the water grew louder and louder in my ears.

Arthur kept his eyes on my face all the way, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't. I looked at her, and she lowered her head again, pretending that she was fine.

"What do you have to ask me? Just ask. I finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked before her.

Arthur looked at me, looked away, and asked, "You...... Can you predict the future? Otherwise...... Otherwise, how would you know that the swarm of poisonous bees in front of you would attack Xiaoyu. ”

Of course I do, because I've been through it all once, but you don't know.

While thinking about this, I suddenly realized: because I had already experienced it, I knew that the poisonous bees would come, and I responded early. But in the previous world, I also saw the image of poisonous bees coming in front of my eyes, and I once thought that it was my ability to predict, but now that I think about it, it is not a prediction...... It's my previous memory...... Is it?

No! No way! How can it be! If so, am I, and we, have died more than once on this island? Is it a lot of time? It's a big joke! I must have thought too much, and there would never be such a ridiculous thing!

I suddenly felt a chill down my spine go through my bones and into my heart.

I flicked Arthur's head hard, and suddenly laughed: "Arthur, you can think of such a bold conjecture?" Foreseeing the future? How can it be? I'm just a quicker ear to hear the bee before you all do. ”

"Really?"

"Really." I replied to Arthur, looking her seriously into the eyes.

A flash of disappointment flashed in Arthur's eyes, and she lowered her head and said no more.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~"

The sound of the water became more and more fierce in my ears, and it kept rushing around, telling of its supremacy.

Yu Bo suddenly stopped, pointed to the curved and narrow stone path above the water, and said, "The road ahead is very narrow, let's cross it one by one."

Arthur bent down, stroked Xiaoyu's head as before, looked at her gently, and said to her:

"Xiaoyu, you walk in front of me, I will always hold your hand and follow you closely, don't be afraid, okay?"

Xiaoyu looked at Arthur, then looked back at me, was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly.

Arthur, smiling slightly, pulled Xiaoyu's left hand tightly in his hand, letting her walk in front of him while he followed behind to guard.

Looking at them one after the other, Yu Bo turned his head with confidence and stepped onto the stone road.

Step by step, he stepped on the stone path, and soon reached the center.

I still remember that this stone was going to fall, and if Yu Bo died here, then what would happen in the future......

I looked at the stone without saying a word, expecting him to fall into the raging river here.

He stopped, looked carefully at the stone under his feet, turned back to us and said, "This stone is unstable, you must be careful not to step on it." ”

What the? He actually found out?

No way! How can it be!

I suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart, he had never found it in the previous reincarnation, but now on the same road, he had found this stone.

Is this accidental?

Or is it inevitable that I don't know.

I couldn't think, I just followed them all the way to the volcano.

June 1, 2050 at 5:17 p.m

A fuchsia glow came into my eyes, and in front of my eyes stood the huge volcano I knew all too well.

Arthur and Xiaoyu stood as stunned as before, unable to utter a word, unable to even move a single step.

"Rest assured, it's an extinct volcano and won't erupt." Yu Bo patted Arthur on the shoulder with one hand and comforted her.

Swindler! It's an active volcano! In the last reincarnation, Yu Bo used this kind of lie to kill Arthur in the end.

I was full of anger, but I still had to suppress the anger in my heart. After all, no matter how much I say it, they won't believe it, because I'm just a layman who survives in the wild, and I can't compare to him as an "expert". Besides, I can't startle the snake here, lest he notice it, make him vigilant, and then come up with some other trick to push us into the abyss of death.

Arthur lowered his head, unable to stop his trembling hands and the panic in his heart.

Yu Bo saw it and said to her, "Let's inspect it for a while and leave." ”

Yu Bo said and walked to the front, leading Arthur and Xiaoyu to the foot of the volcano, patrolling the surroundings.

"Look, what's that?"

I pointed to the wreckage of the helicopter halfway up the hill that had long been buried in the black soil, and shouted to lure them over.

They looked up in the direction of my finger - and saw the wings buried in the black earth, faintly visible.

"It's really a helicopter! We are saved! ”

"Woo! Woo! ”

Arthur and Xiaoyu cheered, but Yu Bo was extremely calm.

The two of them walked quickly ahead, and Yu Bo and I slowly followed behind them.

Sure enough, as before, when they approached the wreckage, the excitement on their faces immediately turned to loss.

That's right! Radio!

I suddenly ran, ahead of Yubo, near the window of the helicopter, smashed the glass of the window, reached in, and took out an old-fashioned antenna radio.

"I'll fix this radio! It's repaired, and it should still work. I said to them before I got to Yubo.

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Arthur blurted out.

"Whew." Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement.

Yu Bo frowned and looked at me from the side, his expression seemed a little unhappy.

Afterwards, we searched around the helicopter and picked up something useful.

I, trying not to let Arthur find out and peek at her with his peripheral vision. When I confirmed that Arthur had indeed picked up the key from the ground, the heart that was hanging in the air finally relaxed.

"I don't think there's going to be anything here, let's move on." Yu Bo looked around and said to us.

We followed the direction he had shown us, away from the extinct volcano, and headed for the hut.
