Every day is one step closer to reality

Feng Yi took the model and sat down on the chair opposite the butler.

"Did you do this yourself?"

"Of course! I promised to make it myself."

"This model is very good. I like it very much. I can see that you put a lot of effort into it. But don't you think there's something wrong with this tooth?" Feng Yi looked at the housekeeper.

The butler didn't even move his eyebrows, "Oh, maybe I was too absorbed in doing it and ignored it."

Feng Yi continued to look at him expressionlessly.

The butler showed a loving smile and said slowly: "Hey, the next one, the next one will definitely be more perfect!"

Feng Yi: "..."

Believe it or not!

Wait for the plane to take off and enter a stable flight state.

Xiao Bing started to work, and the meals came one after another.

During this trip, Feng Yi treated the steward as an elder, but it was obvious that the steward was still obsessed with his role and enjoyed it.

Before Feng Yi could do anything, the butler got up and set the table for him.

Even Feng Yi couldn't stop him.

The longer I stayed in contact with the housekeeper, the more I discovered that the old man had many secrets.

Feng Yi had never heard him mention his relatives. The former housekeeper was not willing to say more and only said that he had made some small investments in the past.

Now it seems that the so-called "some small investments" are too modest.

Everyone has secrets, and Feng Yi respects his privacy.

But there are too many things about the housekeeper that are incomprehensible, such as——

Feng Yi: "Why did you choose to be a housekeeper?"

Butler: "A pursuit in life."

After several hours of long-distance flight, Feng Yi asked the housekeeper to go to the bedroom to rest. He was old and it was not good to sit like this for a long time.

However, the butler refused.

On this trip, the housekeeper was in a strangely excited state. He was writing and drawing in his mysterious notebook without letting him see it. When you get tired of writing, adjust the back of your chair, close your eyes, rest for a while, and then continue writing notes.

Feng Yi wondered if the housekeeper was in high spirits because he was going to visit his aunt?

Getting closer to the destination.

Across the plane, he could feel the energy particles high in the sky above the clouds outside.

It was the type of substance that was perceived in the sky on the day of the Waking of Insects.

The closer you get to your destination, the more energy and material there is.

However, Feng Yi couldn't do anything now. For the safety of everyone on board, he still maintained his current status.

To be honest, he was very nervous when flying, fearing that something might happen to him during the flight that would affect the flight.

Even if the housekeeper told him, as long as he kept mimicking, there would be no problem. But, I still get nervous.

Finally arriving at the destination, Feng Yi's nervousness eased.

When landing at the airport, Feng Yi didn't need to worry about the procedures.

There is a car waiting outside.

On the way from the airport to the beach, Feng Yi looked outside through the car window.

It is not the peak tourist season, but there are still many people coming here to travel or do photography work.

Various skin colors, hair colors, and different language habits.

But Feng Yi and the others' final destination today is not here.

Went to the beach for a yacht.

The yacht has a strong personal style, and it can be seen that it is privately customized and not rented to tourists.

"What is this yacht?" Feng Yi asked.

"It's for the housekeeper," Xiao Jia said.

"oh."

Feng Yi couldn't make any big waves in his heart anymore.

A group of people took a yacht and headed to the target island.

The island that my aunt bought was not that big in this archipelago, but it was definitely not small either.

Before coming, the housekeeper told Feng Yi about the origin of this island.

During the period of abnormal climate, news about rising sea levels and all kinds of terrifying doomsday speculations are flying all over the sky.

The former island owner was worried that the island would be flooded, so he sold the money to do other things.

At that time, there were many island owners who were selling their islands, and my aunt finally chose this one to buy.

Relatively speaking, the impact of the two decades of abnormal climate on the island was not great. After the climate returned to normal, the island also underwent great changes. The environment on the island and around it recovered quickly, even better than before the abnormal climate period.

There are more traces of human life on the island.

Feng Yi looked at the island getting closer and closer.

There was also a tourist boat ahead of them, probably curious tourists.

As soon as the yacht approached, a yacht belonging to the island's security personnel went over to persuade it to leave.

The yacht carrying tourists left quickly.

As for Feng Yi and the others, the security personnel did not come to intercept them at all.

Xiao Bing explained to Feng Yi: "This yacht is the pass."

Before my aunt passed away, she gave this island to her eldest son. According to seniority, Feng Yi should call him his cousin.

According to the housekeeper, it was the cousin who drew lots. However, although the island belongs to the cousin, my aunt's other children also bring their families here for vacation.

This is equivalent to a relatively private, family tourist destination.

When the housekeeper mentioned my aunt's children, his tone was very light and he did not show how close he was to them.

It's not that those cousins ​​​​and uncles who have never met have any problems with their behavior.

The butler's attitude was more like he was not interested.

The island is divided into several areas, including areas for employees to live and areas for entertaining guests.

The core of the island is the area belonging to the island owner's family.

The housekeeper also has a house on the island. To be precise, it is a local-style house.

After leading Feng Yi inside, the housekeeper pointed to a room and said to Feng Yi, "The room over there is for you."

Opening the door, Feng Yi saw the layout inside.

It was similar to his room at home, with a large sesame seed bed of the same style.

After putting down his luggage, Feng Yi planned to visit his aunt's grave first, but the housekeeper waved his hand:

"Don't worry, let's rest for a while and have a good meal before we go."

The food has been prepared a long time ago, and Xiao Bing can eat it with a little processing.

It tasted good, but Feng Yi ate a little absent-mindedly.

How should I put it, he felt that his aunt was not here.

Observing the butler's attitude, Feng Yi was even more convinced.

However, Feng Yi didn't say much. He had already arrived and was not in a hurry.

After having dinner and taking a short rest, Feng Yi followed the housekeeper to the location of the tombstone.

In the core of the island, there is a small garden, where two tombstones are erected——

Great aunt and great aunt.

From the words engraved on the tombstone, Feng Yi could know that the great-aunt had passed away several years ago.

"When he was young, he was wandering. When he is old, he closes his eyes on this quiet island. This is his choice."

The butler's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear much emotion.

"And Ms. Feng...she once told me that the whole world is her homeland, and it's the same everywhere."

Feng Yi bowed to the tombstone.

Although there are two tombstones in front of him, there are only the ashes of his great-aunt.

Auntie...

My aunt is definitely not here.

The housekeeper looked at the tombstone and saw certain memories through the tombstone.

"She has always been in good health. Even in her 80s, she is still walking as fast as she is carrying a big python on her shoulders. She also goes out of her way to make herself look older when she goes out to put on makeup, saying that she is easily mistaken for a monster."

"But suddenly one day, she said the end was coming."

“Then make a will and divide the property.”

"She said that when the end of the aging individual approaches, the successor will begin to awaken."

"It was also at that time that she sensed that you were the most likely successor."

"Before that, there is no way to know who the successor is. It may be her own biological child, or it may be a completely unknown person. It may be named Feng, or it may not be. The possibility of being a snake is higher. But it’s not absolute.”

The butler talked about what happened in the past.

"I originally wanted to observe you for a while, but I saw that your situation was not very good, so I contacted you in advance."

Feng Yi asked: "Then, does the zodiac sign cost money?"

The housekeeper said: "A kind of key. If you don't have the zodiac sign to spend money on, you have to find it first. Only with the 'key' can you enter the secret room on Xiaofeng Mountain and activate the gene there. If the activation fails, I will look for the next successor." .”

The good thing is that Feng Yi succeeded.

Therefore, after that, the butler's attitude towards him changed significantly.

"What will you do if I don't successfully activate my gene?" Feng Yi asked.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "I know a hypnosis doctor who may make you lose that part of your memory, or just think it was a dream. As compensation, he will help you pay off your debt."

Feng Yi nodded.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not, it sounds okay, at least it does not directly make him disappear from this world.

The butler looked away from the tombstone and looked up at the sky, or through the dense woods to see the distant sea.

"We don't know where she was last seen."

So before this, every time Feng Yi asked, the butler's answer was always very vague. It was not that he was deliberately being secretive, but that he really didn't know.

The butler withdrew his gaze and looked at Feng Yi beside him:

"Can you sense the direction?"

"Yeah." Feng Yi said.

The instinctive compass had already begun to rotate, as if there was a pointer in his mind, pointing in the direction of his aunt's last move.

"Before she passed away, she swam to the sea and refused to let us follow her, saying that energy changes would cause storms." The butler said with a sad tone, "She also said that if you want to go there, we can't follow you. If you follow her, it will take a whole boat. Everyone will be buried at the bottom of the sea.”

In fact, after being together for so long, the housekeeper can guess a little bit.

You can guess something by looking at the movements of Feng Yi's molting when he wakes up.

Waterspouts can be "summoned" so far away from the sea, and there are so many thick clouds accumulating over the entire city. When we actually reach the sea, there will be a big storm, and humans will be like ants.

In the small garden, Feng Yi listened to the housekeeper talk about some past events, and Feng Yi went to sea with them on a yacht.

Far away from the islands, you can't see other tourists or sports adventurers' sailboats.

"That's it."

Feng Yi had already changed his clothes and was only wearing a bathrobe.

Throw away your bathrobe and jump into the sea.

He surfaced and said hello to the housekeeper and others, then dived into the sea again.

From mimicry to original form, swim to distant seas.

On the yacht, the butler remained silent.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Xiao Jia and the others didn't speak.

until returning to shore.

The housekeeper said to Xiao Bing: "Prepare the ingredients in advance and prepare more meat. He will need a lot of food when he comes back tomorrow."

Xiao Bing looked serious: "Okay!"

As he said that, he was ready to buy.

After running out for two steps, he thought of something and then came back. Xiao Bing asked, "How much portion will you prepare?"

Butler: "Two... three times... five times the usual amount."

See you tomorrow.
