Zheng Huanying and I looked at each other, and we didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Nan ate a baked potato in a few bites, got up and said, "I observed when you were in the cemetery, the two of you are not low, and I want to cooperate with you." ”

"Cooperation?" I was vigilant, "How do you cooperate with the law?" ”

She said, "Go to the West Island." ”

I was puzzled and asked, "What is the West Island?" ”

She explained: "The island where we are now is the East Island, which is the place of punishment of the water, the real attraction of the water is in the West Island, where it is the paradise of the strong, as long as you have the ability, no matter what your background is outside, you can achieve the corresponding achievements in the West Island, I want to go to the West Island, I guess you also want to go, we can cooperate, and there are five days is the time to go to the West Island for the next assessment, as long as the three of us pass together, we can go to the West Island together." ”

I was surprised to know that this place is divided into East Island and West Island.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "We need to think about it." ”

She raised her eyebrows, but she didn't persuade us again, but said, "Okay, I'm in the fourth to last room on the second floor, and I'll come to me at any time when I'm ready." ”

With that, she clapped her hands and walked out.

"Your enemy is in the West Island?" Zheng Huanying asked.

Xu Nan stopped walking, was silent for a long time, and said, "Not here." ”

"Then why did you go to the West Island?" She then asked.

Xu Nan took a deep breath, "My enemy is very powerful outside the water and land, it can be said that he forced me here, rather than sit and wait in this place, I want to fight more, I have power in the West Island, and I still hope to go out to find him for revenge." ”

After Xu Nan left, I looked at Zheng Huanying, "Do you think what she said is true?" ”

Zheng Huanying's face was solemn, "I don't know, it's mainly because we just came, I don't know anything, I don't dare to agree to her rashly." ”

I sighed and said, "That's what I'm afraid of, wait, didn't she say that the assessment will be in five days?" ”

Zheng Huanying nodded in agreement.

As soon as we finished discussing, we heard the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and when we went out to take a look, we found that it was Lingye who was leading, and the men and women on the road were forcing the two people who had just arrived on the island today to go to the back mountain cemetery.

"Check it out." I say.

Zheng Huanying nodded, and the two of us followed behind the crowd.

The two people stood on the edge of the cemetery, and they didn't go in, they both cried and knelt down for Lingye.

Ling Ye looked at them expressionlessly, sighed for a while, and took a step back.

Is this to let them go?

As soon as I thought so, I saw two men come out from behind Lingye, and kicked the two people directly into the cemetery.

Ling Ye said lightly: "Only if you can walk out of the cemetery safely after dawn can you be qualified to live on the island." ”

With that, he waved his hand.

The men behind him dispersed and surrounded the graveyard, and the two men tried to run out of the graveyard only to be kicked in by those around them.

The last two could only sit trembling in the cemetery, cursing Lingye and the people around him with all kinds of vicious language.

But these people didn't blink their eyes, as if they hadn't heard.

At ten o'clock, the yin qi in the cemetery gradually became stronger, and those puppet ghosts who were manipulated crawled out of the cemetery one after another, and slowly surrounded the two people, these two people were also Taoist priests, and they also opened their yin eyes, and their faces turned pale with fright after seeing those ghosts.

Just like yesterday, these evil ghosts kept rushing towards those two people, at first these two Taoist priests could resist, but in the back, the two people were completely surrounded by ghosts, I couldn't see anything, I could only hear miserable screams.

After about half an hour, the evil ghosts gradually dispersed, and the corpses of the two Taoist priests lay across the ground, their eyes were round, their facial features were distorted, their skin was black, and their souls were eaten by the evil ghosts.

I swallowed my saliva, if it was Yu Hao's rune paper yesterday, it is estimated that I and Zheng Huanying would have ended up like this.

Only when the evil ghost completely disappeared did Ling Ye turn around and walk back, "Drag the corpse out and throw it into the forest after dawn." ”

The two strong men behind him hurriedly nodded yes.

After Ling Ye left, the others also dispersed, just watching the tragic death of two people, the expressions of these people did not fluctuate in the slightest, as if they were used to seeing them.

I sighed and followed Zheng Huanying back.

Back in the house, the two of us continued to huddle in the corner.

I said, "Tomorrow we will find time to turn around the whole island during the day, if there is no trace of the Fan family, then they are really in that West Island, and we have to find a way to get there." ”

Zheng Huanying also meant this, nodded and said, "Cheng, let's go and see when the time comes." ”

Zheng Huanying and I hurried up to sleep for a while, and after dawn, we saw that there were other people entering the forest, and the two of us also walked in.

After walking a little way, I noticed that these people were all going in one direction, and they were very wary when they saw others.

I felt that something was wrong, so I deliberately took a few steps behind them and quietly followed them.

They went to the woods on the west side of the woodland, and after walking a little further, I smelled the smell of roasted meat.

"Are they going to hunt game?" Zheng Huanying said, swallowing her saliva.

Thinking of the last two words of Lingye, I had a bad guess in my heart, and said, "Think about it carefully, have you seen a live insect on this island since we came up?" ”

Her face froze, and she turned her head to look at me, "What about this meaty ......?"

She covered her mouth and held back from throwing it up.

As I spoke, I saw the men stop and look ahead, and there was already a circle of people in front of them, each with a knife, cutting flesh from the top of their bodies.

I wrung my eyebrows and took a few steps back by inertia.

"Vomit ......" Zheng Huanying couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and ran to the tree next to her and vomited.

My stomach was also churning, I turned my head and walked to Zheng Huanying's side, and hurriedly helped her away after she recovered.

We walked all the way to the woods, and we stopped when we couldn't smell the smell of barbecue.

"You see?" Xu Nan walked over and asked.

I nodded.

She looked into the woods and said, "I was terrified when I saw it for the first time, and I went up to them and asked them, 'How can you eat their flesh?' ”

"How?" Zheng Huanying asked.

Xu Nan said: "Those people sneered and said that if you die in the cemetery, then you are the one who is eaten." ”

As she spoke, she looked at us, "I guess no one from the water would talk about what happened here, right?" Because they dare not mention it, walking in the water and land is not only physical torture, but also mental torture, no matter how glamorous and beautiful it is outside, when you come here, you are only left with instinct, and you can tear apart all the hypocrisy in the water and land. ”

"Isn't there some people who don't eat it?" I say.

She snorted and turned her head to point to where we lived, "Some of them are afraid to eat, and some of them are disdainful." ”

"Disdain?" I don't understand it.

Xu Nan walked up to me and said, "That's it, I'll tell you carefully, the people who live on the first floor below don't bother to eat, many of them are still choosing to stay after their sentences have expired, some people are afraid of going out to hunt down the enemy, some people are going to the West Island, and the people who live on the third floor don't dare to eat, because they can't beat those who are around the corpse, only the people on the second layer dare to go, those people are really punished for committing crimes, they are not interested in the West Island, they just want to get out alive." ”

Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Lingye doesn't eat either, he is a vegetarian." ”

Zheng Huanying asked, "Where does Lingye live?" ”

Xu Nan pointed to the forest opposite, "Master Ling lives in the forest in the east. ”

She told us so much, and Zheng Huanying and I thanked her.

She waved her hand and said, "Don't thank me, you think carefully, if you don't want to be like those people in the forest, you have to find a way to go to the West Island, otherwise this place will wear out a person's humanity sooner or later." ”

"Okay, we will." I say.

She didn't say anything and turned to leave.

I said to Zheng Huanying: "Go to the forest in the east to see?" ”

She nodded.

Zheng Huanying and I walked into the forest to the east, and after walking a few steps, we saw a thatched house, and Lingye was sitting in the courtyard, basking in the sun shining through the cracks in the trees, closing his eyes and recuperating. “

I was hesitating to talk to him when he opened his eyes and said, "Come in." ”

Zheng Huanying and I walked over.

He said, "Come to me for something?" ”

I nodded, "What is the West Island?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "You asked bluntly, you think I will tell you?" ”

"You will, because you're a good person." I say for sure.

It was as if he had heard a big joke, "Good guy? It's been years since anyone said I'm a good person. ”

Zheng Huanying also looked at me in surprise, and didn't seem to expect me to say this.

I looked inside and saw a few straws and potatoes on the table in the room.

I took a deep breath and said, "You have made many rules on the island, such as distributing meals according to one's ability, and everyone who goes to the island on the first day must walk in the cemetery, and the corpses of the dead are thrown into the forest and eaten by others. ”

He raised his eyebrows, and there was a self-deprecating smile on his dark face, "You can explain to me what makes sense in this." ”

"First of all, distribute food according to ability, otherwise everything will be possessed by those who can do it, and those who are like the people on the island are likely to starve to death, and all people will form gangs and disputes." I say.

The smile on his face froze, and he looked at me in surprise.

I have a bottom in my heart, and it seems that I am right.

Actually, I didn't think of it myself, it was the man who gave me the potatoes.

I continued, "The second one, the new ones have to go to the cemetery, and you have made it possible for the vast majority of them to survive, and I guess you must have made some kind of agreement with the evil spirits of the cemetery, and if you send people over, they will kill them according to their ability, and they will not let them come here unscrupulously." ”

His smile was completely closed.

"As for the corpses......," I tugged at the corners of my mouth, "the souls of those who died in the graveyard have been devoured by evil spirits, and it is useless to leave the corpses behind, so it is better to give those people some thoughts so that they can be at peace." ”

That's why he said a word last night about throwing the body into the woods, because the people in the cemetery didn't dare to go in.

"Moreover, I also have a guess that those people must be carrying human lives on their backs, and now they are living hard, and they only think about how to live, but when they go out and resume their previous lives, their sense of morality will be aggravated, and every time they think of eating human flesh on the island, it will only be painful, which is also mental torture for them." I said slowly.

Ling Ye stood up from the ground, looked at me with heavy eyes, and said for a while: "Yuan Congcong, you are different from the rumors in the outside world, they all say that you are stupid, but when I see you today, you are very smart." ”

I thought to myself that after being cheated so many times, I can't grow my IQ?

But he even knows about me?

He saw through my thoughts and said, "Curious why I know about you?" ”

"Please let me know." I say.

His gaze wandered between me and Zheng Huanying, and said, "The woman next to you is called Zheng Huanying, and the two of you came in on the order of the sixth master to find the Fan family." ”

I chuckled in my heart, he even knew this.

I looked at Zheng Huanying habitually, but found that she had been staring at Lingye, and her eyes were straight.

"Why do you know?" I asked.

He smiled and said, "Although I live on the island, it doesn't mean that I don't know anything about the outside world, what I can tell you is that the Fan family is not on the East Island, and I don't know if it is on the West Island, and five days later is the only chance to enter the West Island this year." ”

After speaking, he frowned and glanced at Zheng Huanying, turned around and walked into the house.

When he was about to walk to the door, Zheng Huanying suddenly took a few steps forward and stopped him, "Hey, what's your name?" ”

My heart lifted, I lowered my head and supported my forehead, and said in my heart that this Zheng Huanying usually looks very stable, why can't she hold it at this time?

Ling Ye glanced at her and didn't bother with her.

I breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly dragged her away.

Out of the forest, Zheng Huanying held his face with both hands and said, "He is really kind." ”

"Huh?" I can't keep up with her thinking, to be honest, although I have analyzed the purpose of Lingye to do these things, I really don't think he is kind.

On the contrary, I found him cold.

He can indifferently enforce these rules after formulating them, and watch the people on the island struggle to survive in his rules, which is what ordinary people can do.

He has good thoughts in his heart, but at the same time he is restrained.

"Zheng Huanying, seriously, it's not a good thing to take a fancy to him." I say.

Unfortunately, she was bumping into me with a fawn, and did not listen to me at all, but said, "He must be guilty in his heart, otherwise he would not have eaten rotten leaves and potatoes too." ”

When she said this, I dragged her to the first floor, and found that the people on this floor were self-reliant, close to the sea, and went to fish in the sea.

I thought about it and said to her, "Maybe Lingye is really just a vegetarian and doesn't eat meat." ”

"He's just good," she insisted. ”

I didn't know how to persuade her, so I skipped the topic and talked about going to the West Island.

"I have to go to Xu Nan and ask her how to get to the West Island." I say.

I didn't hear Zheng Huanying answer for a long time after speaking, and when I turned my head, I saw that she was still holding her face with her hands, her eyes full of obsession.

I sighed, and although I didn't think it was good to interrupt her fantasies, I slapped her on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about him." ”

"Why?" When she finished asking, she hugged my arm with great interest and said, "You don't know, I fell in love with him at the first sight, although he was very dirty, and the dirt on his face was a foot thick, but as soon as I saw the compassion and kindness in his eyes, I fell into it, and I felt that I had fallen into it." ”

I took a deep breath, I really didn't expect that after just taking a few steps, her evaluation of Lingye had developed from kindness to compassion.

I saw indifference in Lingye's eyes, but what she saw was compassion, this is a lover's eyes?

"Do you really like him?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yes." ”

"He's probably not going to leave here, are you going to stay here with him?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "Eat potatoes here for a lifetime, watch people come and go die in the cemetery, and share human flesh in the forest?" ”

She was stunned, the smile and sweetness on her face faded instantly, and her face was a little pale.

I thought she was scared, but I was a little relieved in my heart, and I felt that Zheng Huanying was still sober, but who knew that the next moment she would be full of distress, and said: "He has been on the island for so many years, and he has been tortured like this every day, so hard." ”

“…… Let's go find Xu Nan. I took a deep breath, not wanting to continue the topic with her, and dragged her towards Xu Nan's house.

When I found Xu Nan, I explained my intention to her, and she smiled and said, "I knew you would come to me." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Zheng Huanying, frowned, and said, "Who does she fall in love with this spring heart?" ”

I touched Zheng Huanying and said, "I didn't fancy anyone, what's the assessment you said before?" ”

She took out a yellowed white cloth from her bosom, on which three simple lines were drawn, and a few waves in between.

She touched her nose and said: "I can't draw well, you can do it, these waves are the surface of the water, these three lines are the lines of the assessment, on the day of the assessment, there will be people from the West Island who will come over, they sit on the boat to monitor, and the people from the East Island who participated in the assessment went down to the sea along the three lines in turn, and there were water ghosts in the sea, and each water ghost had a bone bead sealed in his soul, and the water ghost was killed and the bone bead was obtained." ”

I couldn't help but be taken aback, wasn't this the same as the water ghost we had met before?

I also found a bone bead from his mother's soul at that time.

Xu Nan didn't notice my abnormality, and continued: "These water ghosts are very cunning and difficult to deal with, if the three of us cooperate, there is still hope to pass." ”

"How many bone beads do you need to pass the assessment?" Jung Hwan Young finally returned to normal and asked.

Xu Nan replied: "Eight." ”

The three of us discussed the tactics to be used for the day, and then Zheng Huanying and I went back.

"Cong, do you believe what she says?" Zheng Huanying asked.

I shook my head and sneered, "She's lying, there aren't many bone beads, and the number of really needed must be more than eight." ”

Just now when she was talking about the number of bone beads, the essence of the cashier's palace was abnormal, and her life palace had two life qi, but one of them was very weak, and her eyes were red, I saw a phantom in her eyes, and I speculated that she had also sealed her soul.

Zheng Huanying said: "If this is the case, she will definitely do something to our two bone beads in the process and try to steal our bone beads." ”

I nodded, "So be careful that day." ”

She answered.

In the first few days, Zheng Huanying and I were in the house and didn't go out, and someone would send us a bag of potatoes every day, and early on the fifth day, Xu Nan came to us and said that he wanted to go together.

When I went to the beach, I saw that there were seven or eight boats coming from a distance, parked on the pier, and did not even make a start, only heard a bang from above, and everyone on the beach jumped into the water in one fell swoop.

I was a step slower, and by the time I could react and run to the beach, the water was already flushed with blood red, and within a few seconds there were bodies floating.

Was this killed by the other water ghosts, or was it killed by the people who went into the water together?

I mustered up my spirits and jumped into the sea, and as soon as I got in, a cold light flashed before my eyes, and I hurried to the side, and a knife stabbed me in the hair.

I grabbed it forward, felt a cold arm, and my heart sank, and I slapped it directly with a piece of rune paper.

I heard a scream, and the water around me began to bubble, and a moment later the knife fell to the ground and a bone bead fell to my hand.

"Go this way." Xu Nan called us.

Zheng Huanying and I hurriedly swam over and found that the further we swam there, the shallower the water became, and the water behind me only reached my waist.

I stood in the water, and before I could ask Xu Nan why he came here, my ankles suddenly felt cold, and I was directly dragged into the water, and I kept walking towards the deep water.

Zheng Huanying hurriedly came over to help me, but the speed of dragging my things was so fast that she couldn't catch up at all.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I kicked my legs violently, and rushed forward vigorously, but the rune paper was useless, and I stabbed it directly with a dagger, and at the same time chanted a mantra.

The thing snorted, but the water didn't bubble.

I see, this is a living person.

Realizing this, I was even more afraid, pulled out the dagger, estimated the position of the neck, and plunged straight into it.

The man snorted, and the water was bloody, and the thing finally stopped.

I surfaced to catch my breath before I got back into the water, dragged the man back to the shallow water, and dragged him ashore.

"This is not from the East Island." Zheng Huanying said with a solemn face: "I remember the faces of everyone on the East Island. ”

I wondered, who is he?

Looking at his face carefully, I chuckled in my heart, and hurriedly took Zheng Huanying to retreat, this person has seven or eight lives on his face, fighting with each other, Baoshou Palace and Doom Palace are both dull and dull, and the Life Palace is sunken, obviously dead for a while.

He has sealed his soul, and his own soul has been scattered, and now his body is controlled by evil spirits.

As soon as we thought of this, the corpse suddenly and rapidly decomposed, and then one phantom after another came out from the bones and surrounded us.

Xu Nan jumped out and shouted at us, "Catch it." ”

As he spoke, he threw me a bell.

I looked at it and looked at Xu Nan in surprise, there was a model character engraved in the bell.

Zheng Huanying also saw it, and the two of us quickly took precautions.

"What are you waiting for, rattle." Xu Nan said anxiously.

I looked around and gestured to Zheng Huanying, "I won't, or you come." ”

The moment Zheng Huanying caught it, I immediately rushed towards Xu Nan, kicked her to the ground before she could react, put a dagger across her face, raised her eyebrows and said, "Fan Rou, is it fun?" ”

Hearing my words, Xu Nan's eyes quickly turned red.
