"Yuan Xi, you kid has finally arrived, I thought you didn't want to come......" Sun Qinglong was still the first to laugh heartily, stood up, and also gave Yuan Xi an affectionate hug, and then pulled Yuan Xi to the banquet as he spoke.

"How dare I not meet the old people again?" Yuan Xi said with a smile, and Sun Qinglong actually pulled him to a vacant seat beside Luo Ruyan that had been reserved.

"Huh?" Luo Ruyan didn't seem to expect Yuan Xi to be pulled into such a seat and sat down, seeing the smiling face beside her, she didn't know what to say for a while, and she saw the fat dragon wink mischievously at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi even replied to him with a smile of "I understand, thank you for the assist", and she was also at a loss in her heart.

"Waiter, all are here, let's serve!" Sun Qinglong clapped his hands in a rough voice, and the waiters of the hotel served a plate of delicacies and delicacies that had been prepared long ago in less than a minute.

The atmosphere of the class reunion was deliberately promoted by Fat Long Luo Ruyan and even Yuan Xi, who was sitting opposite Yuan Xi, and it seemed to be happy, the two girls who had had a conflict and had not spoken for a whole year in their senior year were now toasting each other under everyone's pinch to show reconciliation, everyone chatted endlessly about the countless interesting things and common memories of the university, sometimes blacking each other caused a burst of laughter, and sometimes when talking about a classmate who was not present and was in a difficult situation, everyone would let out a few sympathetic sighs, From time to time, some students reveal their current situation, and students who have intersections in their work will solemnly reach a verbal agreement and look forward to further cooperation......

Yuan Xi is now an "outsider" after all, she can only sit on the edge from the perspective of an onlooker and observe her classmates silently, she just moves her chopsticks from time to time to eat something casually, but she doesn't have a strong appetite now, and she is about to be full after a few bites.

It's only been five years since graduation, some of the classmates have gone abroad to dominate in large international enterprises like Luo Ruyan, some are like Fat Long, who are living in thousands of family fortunes and spending a lot of money, some are like Jiang Yi Baigui who climbed to the top of a certain unit and are thriving, and some are like "Yuan Xi" sitting opposite Yuan Xi, who is mediocre, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, with a dark eye in his eyes, and an inexplicable resentment in his flat smile...... I also heard that some people are seriously ill and bedridden, some people participate in illegal transactions and evaporate from the world, and some people are depressed.

However, Yuan Xi has become an "outsider" under this bizarre fate, and he can only witness this class reunion that he should have attended from the perspective of a bystander, this feeling of integration and alienation is both warm and sad.

Warm, because everyone still remembers the youth that is about to come to an end, and everyone can still share this common memory from the university here; is sad because the memories that originally belonged to her can only be shared by another person named "Yuan Xi" to help her, seeing the sometimes subtle and sometimes converging eyes between Yuan Xi and Luo Ruyan, Yuan Xi's heart is even more sour.

Although he once said that he wanted to let go, how could men not be duplicitous animals? If it weren't for some force majeure factors, would she let Luo Ruyan go so easily? Now, maybe this "Yuan Xi" intends to replace her and recapture the person she let go of in her hands.

Yuan Xi's blue eyes always wander on Yuan Xi and Luo Ruyan from time to time, Yuan Xi has never seen Yuan Xi since he entered the table, and his eyes have never stayed on Yuan Xi at all, as if he completely regarded her as air, and when Luo Ruyan spoke, Yuan Xi would always interject just right, not taking away Luo Ruyan's limelight, but also just catching Luo Ruyan's words, as long as they were here, they could basically see that Yuan Xi had the meaning of reuniting with Luo Ruyan. Luo Ruyan herself is not too flattering to Yuan Xi and does not have much disgust, but she always maintains a certain sense of distance and alienation from Yuan Xi's seemingly unintentional discussions, not like former lovers, but just old friends who have been reunited for many years.

Yuan Xi couldn't understand what Yuan Xi's intention was to curry favor with Luo Ruyan, could it be that he stole his identity just to pursue his ex-girlfriend?

After three rounds of drinking, unconsciously, everyone's topic was led to the bald policeman Liu Tai, who rarely spoke, Liu Tai is indeed not good at words, he prefers to sit on the side and giggle at the side than to laugh at the class reunion, and then bury his head in eating ugly to solve the sliced roast duck in front of him.

His classmates who studied medicine in the major were indeed a rare outlier with Bai Gui, Bai Gui relied on personal connections to enter Linyang No. 1 Middle School as a deputy director of teaching, and Liu Tai participated in the compulsory recruitment of college students after his sophomore year, and he went to a completely different path from most of his classmates in the military circles, and most of his classmates in the city, he had more courage from the military, so he did have little common language with most of his classmates.

"Liu Tai, I heard that you have been very busy lately? Now that so many strange things have happened in Linyang City, there are terrorist attacks, missing planes, and casualties, how is the progress of your police? Now many people living in the city are afraid to go out at night, rumors are spreading on the Internet, and there is no official clarification to calm the people's hearts? As if intentionally and unintentionally, noticing that Liu Tai was slightly left out, it was Yuan Xi who first asked this question out of place, and the classmates would fall into a short silence, and then Luo Ruyan, who was sitting next to Yuan Xi, looked at him with disgust:

"We're having a class reunion, what are we talking about these unlucky things?"

"It's okay, classmates, what are you doing with so much scruples? I wanted to ask Bald Tai about the situation...... Recently, Linyang City has been a bit too unstable, you can see patrolling security guards and special police everywhere, and yesterday I saw military helicopters flying in the sky on the streets...... I was so scared that I began to think about whether to move out and live early......" Sun Qinglong also looked at Liu Tai, who had been silent, with great interest, saying that he was scared, but Sun Qinglong has always been a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, it is said that when he was in college, he relied on his economic strength and had intersections with the gangsters in society, Yuan Xi felt that he might be excited about the current chaos in the city.

"Now that my old classmates have asked, I can't hide my vagueness, but I hope that what I'm going to talk about next doesn't appear on major websites, okay? This is still a small secret in the police, and if it spreads on the Internet, it will have a very bad impact, and we will probably have to use the Internet force to block the IP of the rumors. Liu Tai said solemnly, and then touched his bald head with some hesitation: "Is it really good to talk about these things at the class reunion?" ”

"If you don't add such warnings in front, I won't be much interested, but since we have fished our appetites, then don't ****, just say it." Jiang Yi, who had been talking very little when facing Yuan Xi before, was now energetic: "The corpse robbery case in our hospital, before you police came to take care of it, the corpses ran back by themselves, but they didn't scare the whole hospital to death, and now there is no one around the morgue." ”

"Don't talk about the case yet, now the police station is in a mess, the second captain in charge of your hospital's case, he himself disappeared with our other captain in today's investigation, and he can't be contacted by all means, what kind of investigation is there, the case also has a priority," Liu Tai said with a wry smile.

"Are you talking about Officer Yang and Officer Wan, who entered the school today? But the people in our school are worried to death, and now the school of our No. 1 Middle School has also sealed off the old school building, just waiting for you to investigate further. Bai Gui also interjected at this time.

"Oh my God, I haven't been back to Linyang for a few years, why do you seem to have something terrible happening here?" Luo Ruyan said with a little surprise on the side.

Heh, Yuan Xi could only smile bitterly to herself, what happened in the hospital and No. 1 Middle School can only be regarded as trivial, so what happened to these encounters she encountered?

"So I still advise you to stay away from this city as soon as possible, it will be ......very dangerous if there is really chaos," Yuan Xi answered untimely as he sat on the side.

Don't you welcome me back at all? Luo Ruyan's eyes immediately dimmed, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Sun Qinglong bumped Yuan Xi with his arm under the table without a trace, signaling her not to disturb the scenery, but Yuan Xi just smiled indifferently and did not react.

"We really can't manage those things now, now the police force of the city's police department is mainly tracking down the 131 plane passenger missing incident and 128 vicious violent incidents, the two big cases have suffered large losses, the case is serious, but we have hardly any substantial progress, the state has transferred most of the nearby military force into the city to assist in the investigation, and it may be to the extent of door-to-door search in a few days. I also just took time from the police station, and I'm afraid I will have to work overtime overnight to sort out clues after the class reunion. Liu Tai talked about the current case, and his face was tired.

"Is there really no progress at all? I'm following it on the Internet now, and I find that the official media still reports every day that there has been a huge progress in the case, and that the signal of the suspected missing plane has been found. Yuan Xi frowned and asked, I don't know why, he seemed to be extremely interested in these cases.

"Most of them are to appease the people, to say that the real little discovery progress now comes from a call from a missing passenger that our director Xiao received not long ago, saying that they fell on a small island, the sea of the island is crimson, and there are many tall black stone statues on the edge of the island......" Liu Tai talked about this with a very strange expression: "Who knows how the call came, we tried to track the signal, and we chased it all the way to the sea thousands of miles away." ”

"Our people from the police department investigated hundreds of large and small islands near the coast of Linyang, and found that what they said is likely to be the city's well-known tourist attraction, Dusk Island! Every afternoon, the sea near the island will be flooded with red tide, and there are many huge stone statues built by ancient ancestors with a history of thousands of years, known as the 'Easter Island' of the East! ”

Yuan Xi has also heard of this twilight island, she also once wanted to travel to this famous island, but unfortunately it has always been a popular tourist attraction, Yuan Xi has not been able to find time to play, but if it is really that island, that island has almost been fully developed for tourism, if the plane passengers fall on that island, it is impossible that there is no news until now?

"If it's Dusk Island, it's true that its own legend coincides with the disappearance, I remember that those megaliths are like some widows standing on the coast to watch over their husbands who disappeared after an overseas expedition thousands of years ago, and thousands of soldiers went overseas but never returned, and the women who didn't dare to accept the reality were too sad to become stone statues." Sun Qinglong pinched his chin with layers of fat piled up, and his eyes that narrowed into a slit flashed with a sharp light.
