When it was dark, the sky was gradually shrouded in thick dark clouds, and the afterglow of the sky through the gaps in the dark clouds was like a dying candle flame, flickering and dimming.

The surrounding temperature also seems to gradually decrease as the light disappears, bringing a slight chill.

Li Daoxuan stared at the words on the panel, and an inexplicable sense of tension surged in his heart.

This hint is not shown on the inscription at the previous ferry plaque.

He turned his head to look at the plaque at the ferry, which had been slightly blurred, and wondered.

Why is this not shown on the inscription?

It was deliberately erased...... Or did the people on this ferry not want to tell the secret to outsiders in the first place?

However, these issues are clearly not the most important at this moment.

Importantly...... It's dark!

Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He walked into the "Drunken Medicine Pavilion" with the door open in a few steps, and Qin Cun and the dancing girl followed closely behind.

However, as soon as he entered the door, Li Daoxuan said in a very fast tone: "Remember not to speak after dark." ”

He spoke very quickly, and his voice revealed an indescribable seriousness and nervousness.

Qin Cun and the dancer glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Although they didn't know why Li Daoxuan said this, they were ...... But he believed it very much.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Lee Do-hyun signed a pledge.

So, neither of them spoke again, just made eye contact with each other's thoughts.

The dancer stretched out her hand and gestured a few times, trying to convey her meaning to Li Daoxuan, but Li Daoxuan didn't understand.

A confused face.

Sign language, Li Daoxuan only knows one action, that is, put his fingers up to his mouth and signal to shut up.

Instead, Qin Cun took it upon himself to pick up the wooden door that Li Daoxuan had kicked open, trying to put it back in its place.

But no matter how much he tried, he couldn't fit it all back into the frame.

Qin Cun reluctantly made a gesture of spreading his hands, indicating that he could not do anything.

At this moment, the dancer took out a delicate wolf pen from the Sumeru bag and shook it gently towards Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said that it should be possible.

The dancer then walked to the counter and wrote on it with a wolf pen: "He can't pretend to go back." ”

Her handwriting is graceful and powerful, revealing a unique charm.

Li Daoxuan also took the wolf pen from her hand and wrote on the counter: "Just put it on." ”

Then, the wolf pen passed to Qin Cun's hand again, and he wrote: "I think we can go into that room and stay, after all, there is still a door." ”

His proposal seemed to make sense, after all, on this strange island, having a door and not having a door are two different things.

Li Daoxuan looked at his words and nodded in agreement.

He turned his head and walked towards the room, followed by Qin Cun and the dancing girl.

When the wooden door of the room was slammed shut, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. In this relatively enclosed space, they felt a sense of security that they had never felt before.

Li Daoxuan took the opportunity to look at the layout and situation in the house, and found that it was no different from what the dancer said at the beginning.

This room is not only simple, but even extremely dirty, there is not even a place to stay, and the dust accumulated on the bed makes people dare not sit down.

The dancer took the opportunity to write a few words on a table: "Tomorrow it is dawn, let's go to the two-story building again." ”

Li Daoxuan and Qin Cun both nodded.

That place, there's definitely something weird, and it's not small.

Then the dancer wrote: "And I think it is necessary for us to find the ghost ship and the captain and the first mate at this ferry, who must be very familiar with it. ”

Li Daoxuan and Qin Cun nodded again in agreement with her idea.

They all know that this ferry and the ghost ship docked have too many secrets and mysteries to unravel.

Finding them is undoubtedly the key to unlocking these secrets.

However, just as they were discussing their next plan, there was a knock at the door.

The sound of "Knock Knock Knock-" was particularly clear and piercing in the silent night, as if an invisible force was beating on their hearts.

"Is there a new person coming?"

An eerie voice sounded outside the door, shattering the silence of the night.

……

On the deck of the ferry ghost ship, in the faint moonlight.

The grain-eaters who had returned from the island of death waited silently.

They belonged to three cities, and naturally formed three groups of people, keeping a delicate distance from each other.

The sea breeze with a slightly salty and wet smell gently brushed their faces, but it could not sweep away the solemn color on their faces.

Among them, there was only one maid in the city of dancing girls, and she leaned alone by the mast, her posture was graceful, like a blooming lotus.

It makes people feel distressed when they see it, and they want to hold it in their arms.

Well...... It has absolutely nothing to do with her seemingly unreal figure.

Not far away, the fifth sister stood side by side with Tan Xiao, their eyes locked on the opposite island.

The island loomed in the night, like a dormant beast that could erupt at any moment.

"I don't know what happened to Li Daoxuan...... Fifth Shuran whispered, revealing a hint of worry in her tone.

"You don't have to worry about that, he's there alone, it's safer than we can follow." Talking and laughing, as if he felt something, he suddenly looked back and happened to meet Meng Weilin's gaze.

Meng Weilin smiled at him, a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.

Tan Xiao smiled back, then turned his head and continued: "He asked us to come back, in fact, there is another matter, he wants us to solve the evil on this ship first. ”

"What does the Taoist mean...... Amitab? The fifth asked with a frown.

"Yes." Tan Xiao nodded, "If the evil on this ship is not eliminated, we will never be able to feel at ease." ”

At this moment, Fifth Yanran, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "Didn't you notice that there was one less person in our team?" ”

Talking and laughing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly stopped smiling.

He got up slightly, didn't even ask the others, but directly pinched his fingers.

After a while, his face changed slightly and said, "No, why is Shi Ji's house gone?" I remember he followed us to the island in the first place! ”

The fifth Shuran also reacted, and her face was stunned.

Looking around, there was indeed no figure of Shi Ji.

This directly changed the living person, and it also turned a powerful grain eater into nothing...... It's kind of unbelievable.

While talking and laughing, I have already gone through all the experiences along the way in my mind.

He suddenly remembered that when he was on the island, the stone table always seemed to hang at the end. At the time, he didn't care, but now it seems that he has already given birth to the idea of acting alone.

He ...... Stayed on the island! ”

Tan Xiao finally figured out Shi Ji's whereabouts, but quickly waved his hand, "No matter, he can't die anyway." ”

After all, Shi Ji's strength is there, even if he encounters any trouble, he should be able to protect himself.

However, at this moment, a soldier leaning against the wall suddenly snorted and shouted.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that the armorer was dragged into the wall.

Behind him, a strange and huge figure appeared on the wall.

The figure was indistinct, but it exuded a palpitating evil aura.

Tan Xiao got up and looked at the figure, and said softly, "Isn't this ...... Here it comes. ”

……

"It's coming!"

This thought subconsciously appeared in Qin Cun's heart, as if a lightning bolt crossed the silent night sky, making his heart tense up instantly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the panic in his heart, and at the same time remembered Li Daoxuan's prompt, and did not speak easily.

The dancer turned her head to look at him, their eyes meeting in the air, silently exchanging ideas with each other.

They did not act rashly, but waited for Li Daoxuan's decision.

Li Daoxuan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his finger and pointed at the dancing girl and Qin Cun, and then pointed to the depths of the room, signaling them to stay where they were.

Then, he pointed to himself and then to the door, expressing his intention to go out and check it out alone.

However, Qin Cun frowned and shook his head.

He had never been so cared for, and the feeling of being protected made him uncomfortable.

He is not a man who is used to hiding behind others.

So, without hesitation, he walked to the door, pulled the door open, and walked out first.

Li Daoxuan looked at Qin Cun's back, and his heart was subconsciously a little trance.

It was the first time for him to follow such a strong team, and he originally thought that he would be the one who took the lead, but now it seems that everyone has their own persistence and pride.

Who will serve whom?

Everyone believes in their own strength!

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to reach this point at the beginning of the second tide.

The knocking on the door continued, and when the three of them came out of the back room, the knocking stopped abruptly.

None of them spoke, but the sound of footsteps spoke for itself.

Li Daoxuan stood in the middle with a pig-killing knife in his hand, Qin Zheng carried a firewood knife to his left, and the dancer wrapped her red silk around her cuffs.

They are all ready to shoot at any time.

Li Daoxuan took a step forward and just wanted to open the door, but the thing outside directly used force to knock down the wooden door that was originally just put up.

"Bang-"

As the wooden door fell to the ground, the dust raised filled the air, and the figure outside the door gradually revealed its true body in the dust.

It was a figure wrapped in a black robe and a hooded head, mysterious and eerie.

Unlike the previous few times of watching from afar, this time, this figure was close in front of him, so close that Li Daoxuan could even feel the coldness emanating from the other party.

Li Daoxuan stared at the other party tightly, and finally was able to see this person's appearance clearly.

His skin was as dark as night, as if it blended in with the darkness around him, and his high nose, red eyes, and brown hair were all displayed in front of Li Daoxuan's eyes.

And yourself is not a race?

Li Daoxuan suddenly had this feeling in his heart.

The corner of his eyes unconsciously swept over Qin Cun and the dancer, who was also puzzled.

And Qin Cun's eyes revealed a kind of deep thought, he seemed to know what kind of person this was, but he remembered Li Daoxuan's reminder and did not speak easily.

"You're new?"

The strange man asked in a broken voice, his voice hoarse and low.

Li Daoxuan nodded, did not speak, just quietly waited for the other party's next step.

The strange man asked again, "Do you want to run this shop?" ”

There was a hint of inquiry in his tone, as if he was curious about the purpose and origin of Li Daoxuan and the others.

Still no one spoke, Li Daoxuan nodded again in affirmation.

"What about you...... Have you got a residence permit? ”

The strange man continued, and there seemed to be a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Residence card?

Do you still need this thing on the island?

Li Daoxuan and the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

None of them had heard of this so-called "residence card", let alone owned.

The strange man also saw what they meant, and said again: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't have it for the time being, remember to go and get a residence card tomorrow." ”

His tone seemed to soften a little, but still with an unmistakable firmness.

Seeing this, the dancer stepped forward and gestured for a while.

Li Daoxuan couldn't understand it, and he didn't know what she was doing.

The strange man could obviously read the sign language of the dancing girl, and he nodded repeatedly, "So you don't know where to do it, do you, come, I'll tell you." ”

With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Li Daoxuan followed to the door with a puzzled expression, only to see the strange man stretching out his hand and pointing to a house, "That's the 'affairs hall' of our ferry, you can go there to handle it." ”

The house he was referring to was the two-story skull house that Li Daoxuan and the others had wanted to go to before.

There, it's the office of the ferry!

The eyes of the three of them were full of surprise...... Is it all so coincidental?

Looks like that place really has to go!

Li Daoxuan thought to himself in his heart, and at the same time became more curious about the identity of this strange person.

Seeing that this strange man was about to leave again, Li Daoxuan hurriedly pulled the dancer's arm.

The two looked at each other, and the dancer immediately understood what Li Daoxuan meant.

She gestured again, her slender, white fingers dancing in the air.

This gesture was obviously much more complicated than before, and she gestured for a while before the strange could barely understand it.

But after understanding it, the strange man's face changed greatly, and his originally gloomy face was like a dark cloud at the moment, and he roared violently: "Get out, we don't welcome you here, get out!" ”

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up, and he directly raised the pig-killing knife in his hand.

The sword light streaked through the air, reflecting on the strange man's face, making his face even more hideous.

Seeing this, the strange man took a step back in horror, but tripped over the threshold again and fell on all fours.

He screamed, got up on his hands and feet, and ran away without looking back.

His figure faded into the night, leaving only a trail of messy footsteps.

Li Daoxuan stood still and did not move, with a hint of chill in his eyes.

He knew that although the strange man was away for the time being, the matter was far from over.

He didn't move, but Qin Cun chased after him with a firewood knife, and his pace was very fast.

Li Daoxuan didn't stop him, because he knew that everyone had their own way of thinking and acting, and when they reached this point, they didn't need to persuade anything.

Everyone will be held accountable for their actions.

The moment the dancer saw Qin Cun chasing him out, she also raised her legs and wanted to follow.

But when she saw that Li Daoxuan didn't move, she struggled for a moment, and finally chose to follow Li Daoxuan.

She always felt that Li Daoxuan was more reliable in her heart, maybe it was because she was beaten by Li Daoxuan?

But Qin Cun's strength was about the same as her, so she chose to follow Li Daoxuan.

Or is it ...... From the deepest roots of the grain eater - intuition!

As soon as the two walked away, the street returned to seclusion.

In the night, only the evening breeze rustles across the surface of the stones.

Li Daoxuan stretched out his hand to the dancer and made another gesture to write.

The dancer understood what he meant, and handed out the wolf hair stained with thick ink.

Li Daoxuan took it and squatted on the ground, next to the gate. With a stroke of his pen, he wrote down a few big words: "This store has an owner, pay the threshold fee first when you enter the door, 1 merit!" ”

The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, revealing an unmistakable momentum.

When he finished writing, he pushed the two panels up and put them back in place.

At this point, the door closes, as if everything is calm again.

The dancer was still waiting here, while Li Daoxuan went directly to the back room to rest.

He needs to be mentally ready for whatever comes next.

I don't know if it was because of these words written by Li Daoxuan, but for the next night, no one really knocked on the door.

Until a little light seeps in from outside, and text pops up on the panel.

[It's dawn, you spent the first night on the island of death, and your survival point +5 (blue).] 】

When he saw this information, Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although there were some twists and turns and dangers last night, at least they managed to get through the first night.

And the increase in survival points also made him feel a sense of relief and accomplishment.

[But don't let your guard down, because your reputation has also spread on this island, I wish you ...... Good luck. 】

This information made Li Daoxuan's brows furrow slightly.

The reputation has spread, and I don't know where it has got.

Li Daoxuan opened the door, and the dancer was waiting at the door.

When she saw Li Daoxuan coming out, she immediately greeted her.

"Why, didn't he come back all night?" Li Daoxuan said knowingly.

"I didn't ...... How do you know you can't talk at night? ”

Li Daoxuan glanced at her coldly, and then said: "It seems that the contract only says that you want to inform the information, but you have never said it, so you have to tell you how to know, right?" ”

His words made the dancer stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

She realized that she was talking too much, so she hurriedly apologized: "It's me who talks too much." ”

She also leaned forward slightly to apologize, which made her already plump figure even more attractive.

But Li Daoxuan just glanced at her lightly and walked out of her.

There was already a glimmer of light outside the door, and a new day began.

Li Daoxuan looked at the second-floor structure of the affairs hall, and the door that was closed last night was actually ...... at this moment It's on!

——

ps: I made a day of kiln chicken today, and the update was late...... I'm sorry, but I have to say that the first time I did it, it was a success, thief! The picture is in the Easter egg chapter, and there is one after the flip. (End of chapter)
