Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 1094

The person sleeping was Li Teng.

Someone had just been killed, and now everyone was frightened. The black shadows on the wall were so frightening that they screamed, but Li Teng actually fell asleep like that!

Isn’t this too ambitious?

Could it be...that he killed the person? So he's not afraid at all?

He's too tired. Ella defended Li Teng.

It's actually quite safe to sleep at this time, because everyone else is awake. In this case, the murderer will definitely not dare to kill again. Yang Shunli analyzed.

Richard said nothing, but his expression was not very good.

If he wasn't a ghost, he wouldn't have known about the prison's mission.

But one thing is relatively clear now.

Of those he brought, only Zeka remained.

It feels like something is not quite right?

…

When Li Teng woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Looking at the time, it's already past nine in the morning.

The rain outside stopped and the sun came out.

Li Teng opened his eyes and found that no one else was there, only Ella was guarding him.

You finally woke up? Ella looked relieved.

Where are they? Li Teng asked.

They all went to the vegetable field. That Yang said he would stay with you, but I couldn't believe him, so I decided to stay and watch over you. Ella answered Li Teng.

Thank you.

Thank you for what? You helped me a lot, shouldn't you?

Aren't you worried that I'm a ghost? Do you dare to be alone with me? Li Teng stretched.

On this island, you are the only person worthy of my trust. Ella said firmly.

Did anything happen to them after I fell asleep yesterday? Li Teng smiled and changed the subject.

At first, we were all afraid, so we chatted about topics. Later, it was only an hour or two, right? Gradually, one by one, they couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep leaning against the wall. I was also in a daze. He fell asleep in a daze, and later he heard the sound of Yang waking up and talking to Minduo.

I woke up but didn't open my eyes.

Then others slowly woke up. After dawn, they said they were going to pick vegetables, but you were sleeping so hard that you didn't wake up, no matter how noisy we were. Yang said he would stay with you, and I didn't trust him...

Ella answered Li Teng accurately.

Li Teng nodded and said nothing more.

Do you have any idea who the ghost is? Aila asked Li Teng.

I have some suspicions that it's Richard now, but it's hard to say. Let's have another look. Li Teng shook his head.

Ella glanced at Li Teng... He seemed to be sure it was someone when he said it earlier, but it seemed that he was also mistaken! This has changed over and over again, without even thinking about it, right?

What should we do now? Ella asked Li Teng after thinking for a while.

It will probably take a while for them to pick vegetables. How about we go see Jima? Li Teng asked Ella.

Okay. Ella nodded after hesitating for a moment.

The two walked out of the yard and walked into the weeds in the other direction.

Only the two of them and Richard knew where Gemma was.

It is an unpaved path in the weeds. The straight-line distance from the yard is about 150 meters, but it takes more than 200 meters to reach it in a winding way.

Tell me, what is the meaning of living alone? Ella suddenly asked Li Teng while walking.

Li Teng stopped and looked at Ella, but said nothing.

Let's talk casually! Ella felt that Li Teng's look just now was a bit strange.

The meaning of life is different for everyone, so we can't generalize. Li Teng answered Ella.

Then, what do you think the meaning of your life is? Ella asked in a different way.

Well... I'm alive... I'm alive. I can explore more worlds, contact more different people, explore some secrets I don't know, and solve some of my doubts... Li Teng thought for a moment. Ella answered.

Secret? Doubt?

Well, about this world, for example, don't you want to know what's going on in prison? Li Teng asked Ella.

I only know that the prison is some kind of irresistible mysterious force, but I can't detect it, so I won't bother. Ella answered Li Teng.

Well, this is the difference between people. I am more interested in it, so I will work hard to live. This may be part of the meaning of my life. Li Teng concluded.

Alas... Ella sighed.

You sighed because you found that after you completed your revenge, you began to feel confused and didn't know where to go? Li Teng looked at Ella.

You can read minds. Ella smiled.

Li Teng also smiled. He didn't know how to read minds. It was just because he had lived for more than a thousand years and seen all kinds of joys and sorrows in the world. From a person's experience, it was easy to infer what a person was thinking in a certain period of time. think.

Ella was originally a stay-at-home wife, and the focus of her life was entirely on her husband and children.

They were the whole meaning of her life.

Unfortunately, one day, her scumbag husband teamed up with his mistress to kill her and her child.

After learning the truth, she wanted revenge.

Now that she has tortured and killed her mistress, with Li Teng's help, she can kill her scumbag husband at a moment's notice, and she can do it at any time.

Therefore, she began to think about what happened next and the meaning of living.

Because, she found that once she completed her revenge, she would have lost all support.

This is why in many novels with hatred as the main line, the plot ends abruptly after the protagonist completes his revenge.

Because next, the author doesn’t know what to write.

The same goes for life.

The moment of revenge is of course very satisfying, but after the revenge, one often becomes confused.

For a person who lives for an obsession, it will be terrible once he loses his obsession.

Li Teng can help Ella uphold justice and justice, but after she has obtained justice and justice, he cannot arrange what to do next.

He doesn't have that much responsibility for her either.

…

Gemma is no longer where she was originally.

Only the bear trap was left there, and even the blood stains on it had been washed away by the rain.

It seemed that Richard had moved the body to avoid exposure of his crime.

Or the body was buried somewhere.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Why did you bring me to see Jima? Ella asked Li Teng.

It's nothing, I just found an excuse to go out for a walk and talk. It's a bit boring to stay in the yard all the time. Li Teng answered Ella.

Alas... Ella sighed again.

After walking around in a boring circle, the two began to walk back.

When the two returned to the yard, others had already returned with bundles of vegetables.

Li Teng and Ella didn't pick vegetables, so the task of washing and cooking fell on them.

Chapter 1095

After breakfast, everyone went to the pier together.

The yacht was still missing.

Still no cell signal.

The reason why there is no signal on the mobile phone is probably that the communication facilities on the island were damaged by lightning. Zeka speculated.

That damn yacht company, their tourists have been missing for several days, don't you know how to come and look for them? Richard was very angry.

Yes! If we are missing, the company should also call the police. After calling the police, they can check our schedule and find out that we have come to this island. But why has there been no rescue? Zeka carefully helped Richard. questioning.

Except for the two of them, Li Teng and the other two remained silent.

The four people who came from the prison knew very well that all this was a mission arrangement and they were deliberately trapped on the island.

Therefore, there is no point in complaining or anything.

There were no yachts at the pier, so everyone could only return to the yard and start a new boring day.

In order to prevent the murderer from killing again, the six people were not separated much throughout the day.

Although the day was long and boring, the time passed by into the afternoon and then into the night.

It was completely dark.

The dark night is scary.

For Richard and Zeka, the reason for their fear is that they feel that there is a murderer around them, and they don't know when they will kill again.

For the four people, Yang Shunli, they know more clearly than Richard and Zeka that one person will die every day. One-eighth on the first day, one-seventh on the second day, and today , which is one sixth.

As one person dies every day, the identity of the murderer, the ghost, will gradually be revealed.

It just depends on whether you can survive until that time.

Considering that the murderer (ghost) would appear again after dark, everyone took turns sleeping in the morning and afternoon. After dark, they all stayed awake and sat around in the stone room in the middle.

There is a half-lit candle in the center of the stone room.

Everyone found a pack of candles in the stone house. There were more than a dozen candles. Four of them had been used up, and the half of them being burned was the fifth.

Although lighting a few more candles will make the stone house brighter, considering that we don’t know when we will be able to escape, and the weak light of candles can give people a weak sense of security in the dark night, so after everyone’s discussion, every time Just order one.

At about ten o'clock at night, this half candle was almost burning to the end.

Zeka took a new candle and placed it close to the flame of the candle that was about to burn out to replace it.

Unexpectedly, the wick of the candle that was about to burn out suddenly fell down and went out.

But the new candle in Zeka's hand was not lit.

What the hell? Why is it so dark? Richard's voice sounded.

My mobile phone is out of battery. Whose mobile phone still has battery? Turn on a flashlight and look for matches. Yang Shunli's voice said.

There was light around Li Teng. It was Ella who turned on the flashlight on her phone.

After the mobile phone flashlight came on, Minduo and Yang Shunli screamed one after another.

Grass!

Then came Richard's curse.

Ah! Ella also had a look of horror on her face.

Zeka, who had just been holding a new candle and trying to light it, had fallen to the ground in the middle of the stone room.

There was a horrific wound on his neck, crossing the throat and arteries, and blood was gurgling out of the arteries.

The moment he stood up to light the candle, the murderer (ghost) took action and killed him!

No murder weapon was visible at the scene.

But ghosts don't need weapons to kill people. Ghost claws are much sharper than human knives.

Why are you so calm? You were the one who killed him, right? Richard suddenly turned his suspicion to Li Teng.

After the mobile phone flashlight turned on just now, four of the five people who were still alive screamed or exclaimed, but Li Teng sat there motionless and seemed very calm.

You suspect that I am the murderer? Haha, I also suspected that you were the murderer! How about this, the three of them vote to see who of the two of us they think is the murderer? Li Teng looked at Richard with a mocking look on his face. .

You four are together! Humph! Richard was not stupid at all.

Li Teng didn't bother to say anything more to him, so he closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

…

The fourth day.

Who killed Zeka last night? Ella whispered to Li Teng.

Richard is closest to him. Li Teng answered Ella.

Why did he kill Zeka? Ella asked again.

Maybe Zeka knows something? Li Teng guessed.

In the past three days, all those who died were Richard's people. Ella said thoughtfully.

Have you thought of anything? Li Teng asked.

No, I was just thinking that all his people are almost dead, and it will be the turn of the four of us next. Who among the four of us will be the first to die?

It's hard to say. Look at the rules. The ghost must kill one person every day, and he can only kill one. It depends on whether the person who died today is Richard. Anyway, every day and every person missing, the chance of the ghost revealing his identity increases. The bigger.”

The two discussed it for a while, but still did not come up with a result.

Richard seemed to see that Miss Song didn't have that kind of interest in him. After he killed Gemma, she never showed any further affection towards him, which made him feel as if he had been caught in some kind of conspiracy. .

After Zeka died, Richard was wary of the four people in the Song family and stopped chatting with them.

Because Li Teng was always with Ella, Yang Shunli and Minduo gradually became familiar with each other.

However, this is in line with the setting of the mission plot.

After all, Li Teng is Ella's bodyguard and Mindo is Yang Shunli's assistant.

…

It was dark again.

In order to avoid a recurrence of Zeka's tragedy last night, everyone reminded each other to replace the candles before they burned out.

But who would replace the candles with new ones became a big problem.

Zeka was killed last night because of changing candles.

Who knows if the person who changed the candle will be killed tonight?

In the end, Li Teng got up and replaced the candle.

The candle was not extinguished and he did not hang it up.

Richard became even more suspicious of Li Teng.

Time slowly came to 11:50 in the middle of the night.

Everyone cheer up! Supervise each other! All five of us are still alive! If one dies every day, the next ten minutes are very critical! Yang Shunli was very scared, but also reminded everyone loudly.

Because there was an 'outsider' like Richard present, it was difficult for Yang Shunli to mention the rule that ghosts must kill one person every day.

The people sitting against the wall all looked at the others with bright eyes at this time.

Another five minutes passed.

Just then...

A strange gust of wind suddenly blew in through the crack of the door.

Just in time to blow out the candle.

The stone house fell into darkness.
