Chapter 286: Escapism
Shu Yicai held the wooden stick: "Are you so anxious to be eaten?"
Seeing that the octopus was about to be amused by him, Yue Qingli said as if his conscience had been discovered: "Let's see how he answers our questions, if the answer is not right, it will not be too late to eat." ”
Shu Yicai nodded: "What Master said is also true." ”
Because of such a trouble, the octopus has to answer all the questions that follow, and he knows everything and says everything.
Because this octopus is so cooperative, Jiang Yinchen has an eyebrow about what they want to know.
When He Minghui set up a formation to imprison the octopus, and also locked up the strange things with human faces, everyone gathered in the cabin to sort out what they knew now.
"According to what the octopus said earlier, it was at the behest of a man on the island that it set up a maze around our ship and interfered with our navigation. Jiang Yinchen said what he had just asked.
And according to the octopus, the man didn't just send it, there were other things trying to thwart their voyage.
Although the octopus explained a lot of things, the most critical thing is still not visible.
Rao is Jiang Yinchen couldn't help frowning slightly.
Among the crowd, only He Minghui was more concerned: "Who is the man that the octopus said?"
Jiang Yinchen shook his head: "I don't know." ”
He Minghui's face was full of black lines: "You offended no one and don't know?"
Xuan Rui said on the side: "Who is in the way of our walking, I really don't know this kind of trivial matter." ”
He Minghui was speechless for a moment.
Shu Yicai thought of someone: "Could it be someone from the demon clan?"
He suddenly mentioned the demon clan, and everyone present showed a solemn expression except for Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Zheng is just a mortal, and he doesn't know a lot about things between them, so he can only look at Shu Yicai with doubts on his face at this time.
But Shu Yicai lowered his head and pondered, not seeing her doubts.
Xuan Rui saw it, but her feelings about Jiang Zheng were very complicated.
Especially when she and Shu Yicai were discussing the method of eating octopus just now, Shu Yicai had a smile on her face, which made her look particularly dazzling.
She knew that she was jealous, jealous that Jiang Zheng could talk and laugh with Shu Yicai.
Obviously, the person who talked to Shu Yicai in the past was herself, but now it has been replaced by her. This realization made her feel very uncomfortable.
She knew that Shu Yi deliberately wanted to avoid herself, after all, she was so harmonious with her before.
But now it's different, there are more people around them, and she's not the only girl around him who needs to be taken care of.
His gaze was taken over by another girl.
The girl was more delicate than she was, and more in need of care than she was.
And she was no longer in his sight.
They were all in the same boat, but they were farther away than ever.
It's only because Shu Yi wants to avoid her.
She actually knows everything.
Every time Shu Yicai goes there, it's not because of how important it is, it's just because he can really avoid himself there.
Besides, there is still Jiang Zheng there, and it is actually normal for Shu Yi to go there.
In fact, when she looks at Jiang Zheng now, she is not looking at herself in the past.
At the beginning, she was so moved by Shu Yicai's silent gentleness, and gradually fell all her heart on him.
It's just that now Shu Yicai doesn't want it.
Yes, he doesn't want it anymore.
Otherwise he wouldn't have such an attitude.
She had never seen it so clearly as she did at this moment.
It felt as if she was blocked by something, but she couldn't say it.
At least at this moment, I can't say it, so I feel even more aggrieved.
Because of this, she didn't want to answer Jiang Zheng's doubts.
Seeing that everyone seemed to be thinking about their own affairs, no one answered her doubts, and Jiang Zheng didn't dare to ask more.
Although she was with them now, she knew that she was different from them.
She was just an ordinary seaside girl, there was a world of difference between her, she didn't know what they were doing and what they were going to sea for. I only know that at such a time, I can only help them here.
So when they get out of here, they don't need her help.
She knows everything.
But as she spent more time with them, she became more curious about them, and couldn't help but want to know more about them.
It's just that although they don't deliberately avoid themselves when they talk, many things are not as clear as they say, so she actually has a lot of doubts in her heart.
It's just that she didn't dare to ask anything.
Because she actually knew that she was different from them. Their world is difficult for her to enter.
As long as I think about this, I don't know why I feel a little uncomfortable.
She has never been a girl who feels sorry for herself, but at this time, she can't help but think, if she is not an ordinary girl, but just like Shu Yicai, then will she be able to talk at such a time?
But such thoughts could only exist in her own mind, and she knew that if she said them, she would be ridiculed.
So no matter what happens, she won't say these thoughts easily.
It's just that these thoughts are suffocated in her heart, which only makes her more sad.
Especially every time she saw Shu Yicai talking to Yue Qingli and them, and she could only stand aside and couldn't speak anything, this state of not being able to participate in it no matter what made her heart even more tormented.
It wasn't like this before.
In the past, no matter what happened, she was able to deal with it very calmly. Even when her father disappeared at sea and there was no news, she could try to stabilize her emotions, but this time, it was as if something was out of control.
Her emotions were like a flood bursting the embankment, although she seemed to be safe on the surface, but she had already festered inside.
All her composure was just what it seemed.
For this reason, she would even rather stay in the wheelhouse all day and talk to Uncle Zhang about the route than go outside and see the rest of them.
Obviously, she only thought about going to sea with them when she heard Shu Yicai's words at first, but now every moment at sea seems to have become a torment.
And she couldn't say anything.
Is there anything more torturous than this?
On the other side, Shu Yicai finally raised his head: "I have an idea." ”
And they looked at him.
Xuan Rui moved her gaze slightly, so that her eyes would not be directly on Shu Yicai's body.
And Jiang Zheng knew that no matter what Shu Yicai's idea was, she only needed to follow her orders, and she didn't need to think about other things.
She actually knew it all along.
Shu Yicai didn't know what the two girls next to him thought, and when he saw Jiang Yinchen and Yue Qingli looking over, he said, "Since we have caught this octopus now, it is better to rebel against it and let it take us to find that man." As long as you see that person, are you afraid that you don't know who that person really is, and do you have any grudges against us?"
What Shu Yicai said was very reasonable, and Jiang Yinchen couldn't help but nod: "This is indeed the best way." ”
The octopus just said that the man was on a small island not far away, and although he could not see the island here, he could still see the boat sailing on the island.
It was precisely because I could see the boat that I thought of not letting the boat get close to the island.
In fact, Jiang Yinchen and the others had already guessed that the island where the man was located should be the weird island they were looking for.
It's just that they don't know what is going on on the island right now.
Although I asked the octopus a lot about the island, this octopus is a spirit in the sea, and at most it manipulates the human-faced monster to scare passing ships, and then gets some benefits from it.
If it hadn't been caught by that man, it would still be living a free life in the sea.
Since they decided that they were going to follow the octopus to the island, they needed to prepare in advance.
According to the octopus, there is an extremely strong formation around the island, and it is impossible to break through. But it can easily dive under the sea.
Although the octopus said a lot of news, Yue Qingli questioned: "Although we caught it, did it really tell us everything it knew because it was afraid?"
Although she wanted to believe the octopus's words, she was still skeptical of its words.
After all, believing in that octopus is actually very simple, but if you put the people around you in danger because of believing in it, this is something that Yue Qingli can't agree.
Jiang Yinchen actually had this idea, but he thought about it more.
"Now that island is guarded by a formation, it is difficult for us to find the existence of the island, it is better to take the opportunity to go to the island with the octopus, otherwise we have been on the boat, when will we find the opportunity to enter the island?"
Yue Qingli knew that he was right, but the uneasiness in his heart was even more.
She didn't want Jiang Yinchen and them to be in danger. Especially the reason why everyone came here, she never forgot for a moment.
Jiang Yinchen knew her worries, so he patted her hand as comfort: "Qingli, we are all together, don't you still believe us?"
Yue Qingli didn't believe it, but he was too worried in his heart, although they had not been in danger of their lives so far when they arrived at the beach, the things they encountered were not so easy to solve.
Although so far, they have not encountered real danger, Yue Qingli always felt that if they went to the island, it would not be so easy.
I don't know why, but she always thinks that island is weird. She even fears that something terrible will happen on the island. This is also something she cannot tolerate.
Even if they knew that Jiang Yinchen and they would not be weak, they could find a way to solve some difficult things to solve, but what happened in that villa before seemed to be vivid, and she really couldn't convince herself.
