Haruko Sakai, who was next to her, looked uncertain, and asked again and again in Japanese. An Beimo and I were immediately on alert, raised our weapons and hurried over.

Shen Hao was the closest to Xiao Lin Lan, he picked up the leaking kettle in distress, and said angrily to Xiao Lin Lan: "What the hell is your name? Did you know that at sea this water is more precious than gold? You...... What's wrong with you? Only then did he realize that something was not quite right with Xiao Lin Lan.

An Beimo and I had already rushed to the front, I raised my gun to block Xiao Lin Lan, looked left and right, and found nothing abnormal, and no one else around me noticed the situation.

Turning my head, I asked Kobayashi Lan, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

Xiao Lin Lan's expression was extremely frightened, and she raised her hand and pointed forward in despair, and said in a trembling voice: "Shi ...... There are people in the stones! ”

All of us were stunned when we heard her words, and I followed her finger and saw that she was referring to a large black stone pier two or three meters away.

I looked at it, and I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and this stone pier was no different from the surrounding stone piers.

But how could there be someone in the stone? I was very puzzled, and walked over uneasily, and circled around the stone pier.

From the outside, the stone pier is oval-shaped, about one meter long and half a meter wide. The pitch-black surface is covered with slender stone ridges. I rubbed my hands together, but I didn't see anything special.

Haruko Sakai went over to help Kobayashi Lan to comfort her, and Kobayashi Lan stabilized her mind a little, and hurriedly shouted to me: "Side, look at the side!" ”

Curious, I walked to the side and crouched down to look. At first, I didn't see anything, but when I tilted my head a little and looked again, I suddenly "chuckled" in my heart.

Seeing that my face had changed, An Beimo walked over and squatted down to look. Then she quickly looked up and looked at me, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

At the bottom of the side of this stone, there is a slight bulge. At first, it looked like a stone bulging plainly, but when I tilted my head to look again, I found that the bulge looked like a human face.

This face is horizontal, and there is no shortage of eyes, nose, and mouth.

I think it's probably a coincidence. Nature's creations are wonderful, not to mention a stone, even the growth of a large tree has caused the distortion of the tree's body, and it has also formed the shape of a human face. This is not unusual at all, I have seen it in the park before.

In order to appease Kobayashi Lan, I told her what I thought. And I told her that people can't be in the rocks. It's not Sun Wukong, who can be born from a stone.

To further prove my claim, I also touched the face with my hand. But when I touched my ears, nose and mouth, my face slowly changed, and my heart began to beat wildly.

I stood up with a "poof", took a step back, and blurted out, "Damn! It's really a human face! ”

When I touched it with my hand, I could clearly feel the hollow of my eyes, the erect bridge of my nose, and the outline of my mouth. Even if nature is a creation, it is impossible to give birth to a face that is exactly the same as that of a human being.

Look at the black face is uneven, like a stone uneven. But to the touch, it's realistic. Not only is it similar in appearance, but even the size is very close to a real face.

Hearing me say that it was really a human face, Shen Hao, who had just jumped onto the stone pier, jumped down like an electric shock, and said to me in shock and anger: "Black Eagle! Can you please stop making such jokes? Scared me. ”

But when he saw that my face was solemn, he didn't look like he was joking, and he couldn't help but stare at that face again in disbelief.

At this time, An Beimo leaned over and reached out to touch it. She touched it very carefully, stroking every bump back and forth with her fingers. After a few minutes, she withdrew her hand and stared at the silence for a long time before she stood up with a gloomy face.

I wasn't sure if it was a human face, so I asked An Beimo, "How is it?" ”

An Beimo said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid what you said is right!" ”

Qixing exclaimed, "How is this possible? Who would carve a human face in stone? ”

An Beimo said to Qixing: "Doctor, I'm afraid you have to do further tests." I suspect that this may not be a human face carved in the stone, but that there really is a person in the stone! ”

Originally, Kobayashi Lan stood up and walked over with the support of Haruko Sakai, but when they heard An Beimo's words, the two took a few steps back in horror.

This thing is too weird, the four of us D.R.T came to the face at the same time and squatted down, An Beimo pointed to the facial features on that face, and analyzed her judgment for Qixing.

Qixing followed An Beimo's instructions and touched them one by one to verify. After Shen Hao and I touched Qixing, we also reached out and touched it.

The four of us squatted together and talked lively, as if we had discovered something new, and looked at Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai, who didn't dare to come from a distance, stunned and speechless.

Qixing was also extremely surprised after listening to An Beimo's explanation, she scanned the entire stone pier and said, "Could it be that there is really a person in this stone?" It's incredible! ”

At this time, Shen Hao suddenly said: "I know, could it be that this guy caught up with the volcanic eruption, and the magma spewed out drowned him, and then he became this ghost?" ”

I want to say, "You're not right! If it is caused by magma, why are there no traces of lava flow around? If you can directly submerge people, it must be a large magma flow. If it's just a small strand, it's completely possible for people to flee or hide. ”

Shen Hao was immediately speechless, but this time he reacted very quickly, and immediately said: "That may be magma sprayed into the sky, and it fell and smashed him underneath." Yes, it must be so, otherwise how could he lie on the ground with his face on the ground? ”

I said helplessly: "How can there be such a coincidence? Isn't this person unlucky to come home, your statement only exists in theory. ”

Shen Hao said unwillingly: "Maybe it's such a coincidence? ”

At this time, Qixing said: "No, this is definitely not magma. ”

I watched Qixing scrape some stone chips from the stone with a knife, put them under his nose and smell them, and twisted them with his hands. He said to us, "It's not magma rock at all, and while it looks like it, I'm sure it's not." ”

"Not magma?" Shen Hao was speechless this time, and asked Qixing, "Then what is this?" Can you make people like this? ”

I found some details and said to the others, "Look at this whole stone, do you see its size?" ”

Shen Hao didn't understand, so he asked me, "What size?" ”

I measured it with my hand and said, "Don't you think that the volume of this stone is basically very similar to the volume of an ordinary person?" ”

An Beimo and Qixing looked surprised, and Shen Hao asked me again puzzled: "So what?" ”

I had to go into more detail: "Let me make a bold guess, could it be that this person melted himself and became like this?" I'm saying that the person has some special reason that causes the body to dissolve itself. Do you look at this shape, does it look like a person lying on the ground? And the face is right in that position. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Remember when we came, it was raining all the time. I suspect that it was due to the cooling of the rain that the man was solidified in the process of melting, and it became what we see now. And that face is not completely melted and left. ”

"Man melted by himself?" Shen Hao listened to what I said so bizarre and terrifying, with a somewhat frightened look on his face.

An Beimo said: "This statement sounds a bit mysterious, but it is very likely! ”

I suddenly remembered something, turned around suddenly, walked up to Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai in a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what are you sending people here for?" What's on this island? ”

Sakai Haruko saw that I was extremely serious, and the "human stone" just now was too terrifying, so she didn't dare to hide it anymore, and said to me: "I only know that there may be metal resources buried under this island, and it seems that the volume is still very large, and we don't know what it is." The person sent by the Demon Concubine before was in charge of digging, just to see what was buried underneath. ”

was really guessed by An Beimo, there is something under this island. It's a pity that Kobayashi Lan and Haruko Sakai don't know much more than us, and they don't even know what is going on under the island.

I guess either the demon concubine herself didn't know about it, or the demon concubine knew about it and didn't tell them.

Turning back to my teammates, I repeated what Haruko Sakai had said. Then I said, "We have to be extra careful in the future, I'm afraid that something strange has happened here that we can't understand to make people like this." If we accidentally bump into it, no one can save us. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just this one!" Qixing said heavily. We all looked at her in wonder, only to see Qixing pointing to the side, pointing to the large and small stone piers around him, and continued: "The people who came to this island before may be here!" ”

My face changed color, these stone piers looked much the same, since one of them was melted by people, then the others were naturally the same. My attention was on the face, ignoring this detail.

With that, when I look at those stone piers again, the more I look like people. Even through the shape of the stone pier, I can vaguely distinguish the posture of the victim before death.

I glanced at it, and roughly calculated that there were dozens of stone piers here, and I asked Xiao Lin Lan, "How many people did you send before?" ”

Kobayashi Lan thought about it and said, "If you count the boatmen, the first batch is twelve, and the second batch is sixteen. ”

"That's twenty-eight!" I muttered, then nodded to my three teammates.

Seeing a relatively tall stone pier, I jumped on it and condescendingly began to count. An Beimo and the three of them also found an angle and began to count the number of stone piers.

Most of the stone piers are similar in size, only a few are special in size, enough to be the size of two people, so I will count them as two.

After counting back and forth three times, I jumped down and met my teammates, and the four of us came up with the same number, which was twenty-four.

I said, "It doesn't look like they're all gone, it's likely that four more people have escaped, and let's assume they're still alive for a while, and it looks like we're going to find them next." ”

An Beimo said: "There is another possibility! There is still a ship whose whereabouts we don't know, maybe they escaped by boat. ”

Shen Hao interjected: "Impossible! If you escaped on board, why don't you go back? ”

Qixing said to Shen Hao, "What if there is no boatman among these four people who knows the way? How do they get back? ”

"Or maybe ......," I guessed, "those four are the ones who started it all!" ”
