Seventh day on the island.

Eight o'clock in the evening is the busiest time in various scenic spots, and many tourists will go shopping in the night market.

But today's passenger flow is obviously less than that of the previous few days, because after nightfall, the weather changes suddenly, dark and heavy clouds are pressing over the island, and the blowing wind carries a wave of moisture.

Liu Siyi walked all the way forward, wearing a DSLR around her neck. She seemed relaxed and casual, no different from ordinary tourists, but in fact, her gaze would be aimed at a beautiful figure in the crowd in front of her intentionally or unconsciously.

Seen from the back, it was a girl in a red baseball uniform, with straight long hair reaching her waist, and she was shopping aimlessly.

Liu Siyi would occasionally take a look at the nearby crowd to see if there was any man among them who showed interest in the girl in red.

But so far, nothing unusual has happened.

Wandering around, the girl in red entered a handmade felt toy store on the street.

Liu Siyi also stopped, pretending to choose in front of a bracelet stand on the street.

Her task is to follow Lu Xi and watch out for any suspicious figures. She just needs to follow all the way to the station. As for the rest of the journey, there are Cheng Jue and Peng Manman.

When Liu Siyi was looking at the bracelet, she didn't notice that a girl next to her was always looking at her hesitantly.

After a while, the girl finally couldn't help herself, and said, "Excuse me, that...are you..."

Liu Siyi turned his face to look, and saw a stranger standing next to him, whose appearance belonged to the kind that could not be found in the crowd, Liu Siyi had no impression, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

The girl glanced at Liu Siyi's DSLR, and smiled cautiously but kindly: "You came to the island with your teacher and classmates to play?"

Liu Siyi felt inexplicable, and said, "How do you know..."

The girl said hello: "I passed by last time and took a group photo for you. What a coincidence, I saw you here."

Liu Siyi's expression was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent: "..."

"What's wrong?" the girl asked strangely.

Liu Siyi glanced at the girl with complicated eyes, waved his hands, averted his gaze, and said, "No...it's nothing..."

When she thought about how she always regarded that group photo as a supernatural photo, she was scared out of her psychological shadow, and she felt stupid as hell.

But having said that, there were nearly thirty people mingling on the beach at that time, in a mess, and she really didn't notice a passerby mingled with the crowd.

The girl glanced at Liu Siyi's DSLR again, and explained: "I happened to go to the beach to take pictures that day, and when I passed by, your teacher seemed to be unable to find anyone, so I took a photo for you... I have an impression of your DSLR, As soon as I touched it last time, I knew you were a hardcore photographer."

"Where is that..." Liu Siyi smiled sheepishly.

"Hey? What is your configuration?" The girl asked with interest, "I didn't have time to ask that day, and when I went back, you had already left."

"My lens is the one with 5.6is anti-shake..." Liu Siyi picked up the SLR and was happy to share it with the girl.

So, two photographers stood in front of the bracelet stand, learning from each other, and having a good chat.

Because Liu Siyi was busy chatting, she didn't see Lu Xi for a while. After shopping, she walked out of the felt toy store.

She didn't even notice that in the crowd behind, a black figure stared at Lu Xi's back for a long time.

Finally, the figure flashed into the alley beside him.

***

When it was almost nine o'clock, the island suddenly had a strong wind, and after a while, the sky was full of tiny raindrops, which gradually became the size of beans.

The crowd scattered on the street, and many people didn't bring umbrellas, so they covered their heads with their hands, shouting, and rushing into nearby shops.

Lu Xi had been prepared for a long time and opened her umbrella.

When he left the bustling street, he glanced back intentionally or unintentionally, his narrow eyes were indifferent.

Then, holding an umbrella, Lu Xi walked unhurriedly towards the station.

At nine o'clock, there is a last bus, and Lu Xi can take that bus back.

But the chronology made Lu Xi miss that car.

Lu Xi counted the time and did not walk to the station until after nine o'clock.

Even though he already knew that the bus had left, he still looked up at the worn license plate above, and raised his wrist to look at his watch.

Lu Xi stayed in place for a moment, looking around.

At this time, the rain was already heavy. Through the rain curtain, only passers-by in twos and threes passed by, and occasionally a car drove by.

It's really deserted here at night.

Lu Xi continued to walk forward with an umbrella, heading to the next station, where there was another last train, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk there.

But the next station is also more remote and deserted.

Ji Nian said that this was done to give the rapist sufficient preparation time, the longer the time, the more likely the man would do it.

When Lu Xi walked forward, her heart was somewhat beating.

Although Lu Xi knew that Cheng Jue and Peng Manman would follow him in the dark during the 10-[-] minute journey, which was very safe, but when he thought of following him, there might be a rapist, especially Just imagining that man watching him from an invisible place made Lu Xi feel a little hairy.

But Lu Xi was a little nervous at the first moment, and calmed down as he walked forward.

After all, I am used to being heartless.

For a quarter of an hour, nothing happened.

Seeing another crude station under the dim streetlight ahead, Lu Xi couldn't say she was relieved or disappointed.

Obviously, the rapist didn't follow.

Otherwise, within this quarter of an hour's journey, Lu Xi is alone along the way, and this place is remote, if the rapist wants to do something, it is the best time.

Lu Xi walked to the platform, put away her umbrella, and sat on the bench to wait for the last train.

He estimated that there were still 3 minutes before the car would arrive.

Lu Xi casually looked to the left of the muddy road. At this moment, in the dark woods behind him, lights flashed three times.

Attracted by the light, Lu Xi looked back and saw a tall black shadow standing among the trees.

The man took a few steps forward, half of his face was illuminated by the border of the light, his eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and flamboyant, and he slightly raised the corner of his lips towards Lu Xi.

Seeing this, Lu Xi's heart was completely settled.

Ji Nian was wearing a black raincoat and was still in the shadow of the trees, holding a flashlight in his hand, but he didn't turn it on.

The two teenagers looked at each other from a distance through the rain curtain.

Lu Xi stretched out a finger, lightly scratched the lower eyelid of his left eye, and at the same time stuck out his tongue towards Ji Nian, making a calm grimace.

Ji Nian immediately laughed, and lowered his head as a cover, as happy as he could be.

Lu Xi suddenly thought of something, took out a key ring pendant from his pocket, hung it in his hand and shook it towards Ji Nian.

The distance was too far, and the light was too dim. Ji Niannian squinted his eyes, but still couldn't see what the pendant was.

At this time, the sound of a bus approaching came from the side of the road.

Lu Xi turned her face to look at the end of the road, then gestured to Ji Nian, got up, and was about to go back by car first.

But before getting on the bus, Lu Xi thought about it and hung the key ring under the signboard at the bus stop.

……

After Lu Xi left, he waited for about 5 minutes before Ji Nian came out from the woods and walked towards the platform.

Out of prudence, Ji Nian did not go back with Lu Xi in case the rapist was still watching.

As a bait, Lu Xi had to pretend that she was used to traveling alone and that she didn't often have friends around her.

When Ji Nian arrived at the platform, he took a look at the key ring from under the road sign, and found a felt puppet cat hanging on it, which was lifelike.

Ji Nian smiled, knowing that it was a small gift that Lu Xi bought for him, his heart almost melted.

At this moment, Cheng Jue just arrived at the station.

"Hanhan went to look for Liu Siyi, he should go back." Cheng Jue wiped the rain from his forehead and said, "Lu Xi left?"

Ji Nian's attention was all on the key pendant, and he said perfunctorily, "Yes."

"Hey..." Cheng Jue sat down on the bench a little discouraged, and said, "You didn't take the bait? Tonight is obviously the most likely to do it."

Ji Nian played with the pendant for a while, carefully put it away, walked to the edge of the platform, looked at the dark sky, and said: "If I... I would have done it long ago... The prey is what I like, and the rainfall tonight is also very heavy." Enough, enough to wash away the traces left when I dragged the girl... There is no one around, this place is only a few kilometers away from my residence, the weather, the people and the location are favorable... So, why don't you do it..."

Hearing Ji Nian muttering to himself, Cheng Jue panicked a little, stopped Ji Nian quickly, and said, "Okay, okay, maybe I was delayed by something, baby, don't think too much."

But Ji Nian still felt something strange, he looked up at the falling rain, thoughtful.

"However, I'm actually quite worried about another situation..." Cheng Jue thought for a while and said, "Could the rapist have taken a fancy to other girls and is committing crimes elsewhere..."

I don't know what was touched, Ji Nian's eyes darkened suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly: "I missed a place."

"What?" Cheng Jue asked strangely.

Ji Nian gradually frowned, with an increasingly anxious expression on his face, he turned around and was about to walk towards the place where the car was leaving.

"Ji Nian, where are you going?" Cheng Jue immediately stood up and grabbed him.

Ji Nian suddenly came to his senses, looking at the end of the road, knowing that it was too late to catch up, so he hurriedly said to Cheng Jue, "Call for a taxi."

"Where did you get the phone call?" Cheng Jue asked in surprise, "There isn't even a signal on this island, otherwise, there would be no need for so many people to follow Lu Xi all the way."

Ji Nian was really in a hurry, flustered, pacing up and down, anxious and irritable, as if about to cry, said: "I was wrong, he was waiting for Lu Xi at the station...he must be waiting there..."

"What station..." Cheng Jue was a little confused, but in the next second, he reacted quickly and said, "You mean the station near our residence?"

Ji Nian didn't answer, and had already rushed into the heavy rain.

Cheng Jue followed immediately, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Ji Nian, no matter how Lu Xi is a boy, a rapist can't do anything to a man!"

Ji Nian: "If Lu Xi saw his face..."

The following words did not go on.

But Cheng Jueyi will come.

If Lu Xi saw the prisoner's face, he might lose his life.

***

The bumpy bus stopped on the side of the road.

The door clanged open.

Lu Xi got off the car and looked around, except for some light on the platform, the front and back were completely dark.
