Chapter 189: The Secret of Perhentian Island (25)
Meng Hui took a sharp breath when he went into the water, and when he drilled his head down, he lost his normal hearing in his ears, and the underwater world was quiet and mysterious, with many bright colors that were difficult to see on land.
She swam briskly, using her soul power to find edible fish nearby, catching three large fish when her lungs began to suffice, and the potatoes and carrots in the refrigerator were enough to survive today.
Meng Hui couldn't help but think when she worked hard upstream, knowing that there was death ahead, she, Qi Enwei, and Grady still didn't seem to take the initiative to give up. Whether it's fishing or burning dead wood, it's all struggling to survive.
There was a bang, and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach was clear again, and Meng Hui floated on the water to look at the empty beach, frowning and swimming back quickly. "What about people? Shouldn't you have committed suicide by jumping into the sea? She looked out into the nearby waters, and there was no Grady.
After going ashore, Meng Hui walked back along a series of messy footprints, which were left when they came, and when he looked closely, it seemed that there was another series of footprints walking back, and he was still running with this big stride.
"Could it be that something happened to Qi Enwei's side?" Meng Hui carried three big fish in his hand and ran forward, the dead wood forest in the distance was still burning, the flames were not particularly conspicuous during the day, only the billowing smoke swirled high in the sky.
Meng Hui quickened her pace and ran back to the wooden house, and before she reached the steps of the back door, she heard Qi Enwei's screams, mixed with Grady's voice telling her to calm down. "What's going on!" She slammed open the door and ran in, leaving the fish at the door and running quickly to the sofa, surprised to see Qi Enwei lying on it.
Qi Enwei's pretty face was half destroyed by the fire, her eyes were full of horror, and her hands were also bloody and blurred, waving constantly, not knowing what she was trying to catch in the air. Almost all of her clothes were burned, and the unburned fragments were stuck in the flesh.
"Wei, stop screaming! If you keep shouting like this, it will only drain your stamina! Just relax! Just relax! ”
Grady needed to yell with all her strength to get over Qi Enwei's screams, and she didn't know if it was because of her physical exhaustion or if she had really calmed down, her voice gradually lowered, leaving only whimpering and muttering that she didn't understand.
"I just heard her screaming on the shore, and before you came up, I came first." Grady turned his head and explained to Meng Hui, and then pointed to Qi Enwei and said, "I ran into the forest and saw that she was on fire and was rolling on the ground, and after helping her put out the fire, I got her back, preliminary estimate...... There is little hope. ”
Perhaps hearing Grady's words, Qi Enwei's voice paused, and then let out a strange sound that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, crying but not crying.
"Sha, give me the magazine."
Hearing Grady's request, Meng Hui hesitated.
"If she hadn't been helped, she would have struggled until tonight, or even tomorrow, to lose her breath."
Meng Hui gritted his teeth, took out the magazine and handed it to him. "I'll go out and breathe." She turned around and left, not wanting to see Qi Enwei again, let alone hearing her whimpering in pain and despair.
This tragic situation was so shocking that for a moment, Meng Hui almost forgot that she had killed her own sister with extremely shady tricks, and forgot that she had poked people into a sieve with a screwdriver while she was sleeping on the road.
When Qi Enwei's actions came back to his mind, Meng Hui quickly put aside his unnecessary sympathy. A glimmer of pity in her heart led her to hand the magazine to Grady, the only bit of kindness she allowed herself to express.
Bang –
A loud sound echoed across Perhentian Island, drowning out the waves and the crackling of the burning woods. Meng Hui stood on the beach not far from the wooden house, and couldn't stop his heart when he thought of everything he had experienced since this mission.
Now that she has figured out Jia Ruyi's true purpose, she is no longer full of doubts, and she still does not feel the slightest relief. Even though she knew that her first wish would soon be fulfilled, she could not calm down.
In the previous mission, she was very happy when it was almost completed, because the relatives and friends of the deceased would finally show a relieved smile, and the ghosts trapped in the underworld and refused to leave would also dissipate their resentment and enter the Yellow Spring. All of this will bring her a sense of accomplishment.
But this time Meng Hui had no joy and sense of accomplishment at all, she didn't want to dig into Jia Ruyi's hidden wish at all, if she wasn't worried that she would go through it again if she couldn't complete the task, she didn't even want to help her destroy the evidence.
"The father and daughter of the Jia family are not good people, why do they have to ask me to clean up the mess for them in the end?" Meng Hui sat on the beach with a huff, full of disdain for these two people in his heart, "If it is judged by the two of them, Jia Heping has also committed the crime of arrogance, and he should die together." ”
Meng Hui really doesn't like everyone on the island, she hardly feels sorry for them, but Jia Heping, as one of the masterminds behind the scenes, is not innocent, but she still has to complete the task according to Jia Ruyi's ideas, so that this matter will not be on Jia Heping's head.
"Suffocated to death!" Meng Hui lay on the soft sand, pinched a handful in his hand and released it, playing boredly over and over again. "But there's no other way to do it all over again. It seems that Meng Po's work can not only bring satisfaction, but also add a lot of blockages to herself. I really want to know how Meng Rugong regulated his emotions when he encountered this situation. ”
Meng recalled Meng Rugong's good and bad state, and silently lit a wax for himself. "No wonder I ended up schizophrenic...... I'll have to figure out how to adjust it. How can I recover if I don't have a good job? Of course, I chose to take a vacation! ”
Meng Hui decided to complete the next two tasks, so he went to the global village to take a stroll in a soulful way, to see all the beautiful scenery he had never seen before, and then to visit his benefactors in his hometown.
"Sha, help me bury someone." Grady's voice came from the balcony of the wooden house, planning Meng Hui's anticipation for the holiday.
"Uh-" Meng Hui reluctantly got up, slightly relieved to see that Grady had already wrapped Qi Enwei in a blanket.
The two of them raised their shoulders and feet, and still followed the old road to the place where Bao Lu, Shi Fatzi, and Jia Ruyi were buried.
After digging the sand pit and burying people in silence, Grady's breath was a little panting, and he replied to Meng weakly: "Please bury me here when the time comes." ”
"Okay." Meng replied, ignoring him and walking towards the cabin alone. Walking through the glass door, she saw the black handbag on the wall, remembered that there was a mezzanine on the back that had not been opened, she walked over and sat on the ground and unzipped it, and dragged out a diary half the size of a palm from it.
