Well of Mystery

It looks like something big is going to happen on Rose Fire Island.

At this juncture, Bai Xiuqi could almost smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.Perhaps this island, which is rich in sulfur resources, is inherently unstable and dangerous.

After talking about what happened at noon today, Jian Tong reminded Bai Xiuqi again to leave Rose Fire Island as soon as possible.Bai Xiuqi was about to say something casually as a perfunctory, when suddenly there was another sound of footsteps.

This time the sound came from the corridor, followed by the sound of the doorknob being turned—this time Jiang Chenglu really came back.

Bai Xiuqi looked at the gate, then at Jian Tong standing in front of him, and felt a thump in his heart.

This is the rhythm of things going wrong.

"Go to the balcony!" He hurriedly lowered his voice to order Jian Tong, and only after he said it did he realize how ambiguous this sentence sounded.

But Jian Tong didn't listen to him at all, instead he stared closely at his eyes and bent down little by little...

"Go away!"

Bai Xiuqi yelled and opened his eyes suddenly.

It was exactly the same as the situation on the balcony yesterday afternoon - he was lying on his bed well, and there was no ghost beside the bed, let alone Jian Tong's shadow.Jiang Chenglu who just opened the door hurried over and asked him what's wrong with a concerned face.

"...It's okay." Bai Xiuqi shook his head, "It's just a nightmare."

After Jiang Chenglu came back, he first ran to the bathroom to take a shower, and then began to complain about the hard work of the afternoon with his wet curly hair.After breaking up with Bai Xiuqi, he accompanied Huang Xiuqi all the way south to the beach and boarded the yacht. It turned out that Huang Xiuqi asked someone to take her out for sea fishing and diving.In this way, he was forced to board the pirate ship, and spent an afternoon listlessly chatting with him on the coast, the only gain was seeing the legendary Sea God Cave from a distance.

"Here, look." He held the photo taken on his phone in front of Bai Xiuqi.

To Bai Xiuqi's surprise, Sea God Cave is a tall and large sea cave. The part exposed to the sea is at least as high as four or five floors, and the width is about 30 meters. It is no problem for ordinary fishing boats to enter freely. .But at the entrance of the cave, there are a few bright yellow warning tapes and a wooden sign. Although the words are not clear, I think it is a sign that no entry is allowed.

"I once tried to ask someone to drive the boat over, but the captain refused, so I had to give up." Jiang Chenglu felt a little regretful: "I see that there seems to be some spiritual energy coming out of that hole, and it might be a bit tricky. If we have a chance, we will go secretly once.”

Bai Xiuqi didn't respond to him, but instead mentioned what Jian Tong told him just now: "Don't worry about that kind of thing, I have a news that people may die in Rose Fire Island recently."

Jiang Chenglu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously: "Yo, I can't see that Bai Dada has only been on the island for a day, and he already has his own intelligence network. Who is so careless, and he has to tell the world before he wants to kill someone of?"

"Be serious, I'm not joking with you."

Bai Xiuqi recounted what Jian Tong said just now, and of course changed the place of their conversation from this room to the downstairs platform.

After listening to this passage, Jiang Chenglu's expression became a little more serious, but he still took it easy: "Dogs bite dogs, blacks eat blacks, this kind of thing has happened since ancient times, but this time it happened around us, I think There is nothing to worry about. We just need to fulfill our purpose and take care of ourselves."

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. What if we are also involved?"

Bai Xiuqi retorted: "It's like the conflict on Rose Fire Island decades ago. If the two factions on the island really broke out and caused the fire, what about the ordinary people living on the island? Will they be able to protect themselves wisely? Not yet The same perish?"

"...Your words make sense." Jiang Chenglu wiped his hair with a towel again, and muttered: "But now the hot spring has not been found, and Huayang's body is also very weak. It's on the scalp, isn't it?"

"Hmm." Bai Xiuqi obviously thought about this issue: "Otherwise, let's call Tao Chuan now and tell him that there may be special circumstances on Rose Fire Island, and let him see if he needs to contact the local police?"

"it is good."

Jiang Chenglu did what he said, and took out his mobile phone to dial Tao Chuan's number, but he was stunned as soon as the screen was turned on.

"Uh, signal, no more."

It really is.Not only Jiang Chenglu's cell phone, but even the signal of Bai Xiuqi's cell phone also unknowingly reset to zero.

Since these two people were using the same brand of mobile phone (Bai Xiuqi bought it), so just to be on the safe side, Bai Xiuqi went downstairs to find Uncle Zong in the lobby. Sure enough, his mobile phone had no signal either.

"It is estimated that there is another problem with the broken base station."

Uncle Zong is obviously used to this kind of thing. He said that there was no fixed telephone on Rose Fire Island, and the communication with the outside world was by radio station.Last year, operators installed base stations on the island, and people on the island started using mobile phones.But the person who built the base station didn't understand the terrain characteristics of Rose Fire Island at all, so he erected the antenna of the base station on the air vent. After that, it would break down every few months, and he could only wait for professional workers to come to repair it.

"I'm afraid there is no way today. Even if we use the radio station to find workers to repair it today, the workers will not be able to arrive on the island until tomorrow morning. If we want to fix it, we will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon." Uncle Zong finally gave an expert opinion.

There was no way, the two returned to the room.As soon as Bai Xiuqi closed the door, he said, "I think the base station may have been tampered with."

"For the convenience of hands? I think it is also possible."

Jiang Chenglu obviously also thought of it with him: "Old Zong said that the workers for repairing the base station will not go to the island until tomorrow, and Huang Xiangyuan told Huang Xiuqi to leave the island before this evening at the latest. It seems that something big may happen tonight."

"Then hurry up and ask Huayin and Huayang to come back and stop wandering outside. Everyone should do nothing tonight and close the door to avoid getting burned."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiuqi turned on his mobile phone, but then smiled bitterly: "I just forgot, there is no signal now..."

There is no signal on the mobile phone, so I have to rely on my legs to find it.Jiang Chenglu gave a "tsk", dropped the towel and was about to get up, but Bai Xiuqi grabbed his arm.

"I'll go, you just came back, take a rest."

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense, don't treat me like trash."

After emphasizing this sentence, Bai Xiuqi didn't listen to any of Jiang Chenglu's words, got out of bed, took the key and walked to the door.Halfway there, he thought of something again, turned around and grabbed Jiang Chenglu's collar and kissed him hard.

"Wait for me to come back obediently, and I will take care of you if you behave well."

"Hey, now you actually know how to whip a candy to give one candy. No, I want two!" Jiang Chenglu licked his lips, and leaned forward again with unsatisfied intentions.

--------

Although he let go of his rhetoric, Bai Xiuqi was still a little apprehensive when he really went outside.Rose Fire Island is so big, and there are empty houses and secluded alleys everywhere. If the two brothers and sisters deliberately found a place to hide, it would not be so easy to find it.And if he was looking for it outside, what if Huayang and Huayin went back to the inn by themselves?

"Hey……"

He was worrying, when he suddenly heard Jiang Chenglu's voice coming from behind, turned around and saw Jiang Chenglu leaning on the balcony on the second floor waving at him, and then dropped a white paper bag.

"Take it, follow the instructions on the instructions."

Bai Xiuqi opened the paper bag and found that it contained an old copper coin, and there was nothing fancy about it.Looking at the wrapped white paper, there are a few lines of small characters written on it, which is a spell, and there is also a line of flamboyant characters——

"This is Qingfu's son's and mother's money. Huayang and the others are back, and I will send the mother's money to inform you. If you have something to do, send the son's money to tell me, understand?"

Bai Xiuqi put away the note, turned around and nodded at Jiang Chenglu.

Since Huayin and Jiang Chenglu were at the seaside when they talked on the phone at noon today, Bai Xiuqi decided to go to the beach by the pier to see what happened.In the evening, the night market on the seaside will open one after another. Maybe the two brothers and sisters will come back after dinner there.

But when he arrived at the pier, he didn't see the person he was looking for. Instead, he saw Huang Xiuqi being reluctantly sent to her father's cruise ship and leaving Rose Fire Island from a distance.

Watching the cruise ship sail away slowly, disappearing bit by bit in the afterglow of the setting sun, Bai Xiuqi seemed to have a ticking time bomb in his heart, and the countdown finally started.

What will happen the next night?

Knowing that any conjectures he made now are futile, Bai Xiuqi didn't stay on the coast for too long, he suddenly realized that he might have made a big mistake - Huayin and Huayang went out, who made the decision ?

If it's Huayin, those two people are indeed very likely to appear in the night market; but now Huayin is only traveling with her brother, so where will Huayang go?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi looked down at the time on the phone, turned around decisively and ran towards the height of the island again.

Because it hasn't been long since I just came here in the morning, Bai Xiuqi still has the general influence of the map hand-painted by Huayang in his mind.He came to the nearest hot spring marker and decided to go in and see the situation.

Dimly lit dusk, desolate ruins where people once died, wraiths hiding in the darkness and peeping... To break in alone without fear at all is obviously lying.But Bai Xiuqi convinced himself that he couldn't back down. If he couldn't even take such a small step, then don't blame Jiang Chenglu for always underestimating himself.

Thinking of this, he took off the string of colorful beads on his wrist and squeezed them in his hands, mustering up the courage to move on.
