Desperate Night

"Who?" Wei Chengjun stood up and looked at the door as a reflex.

"I, Lao Yang." An old voice came from outside.

This was the old man who came to pick them up when they first arrived on the island.

He looked to be in his seventies at the time, with white hair, a hunched back, and a serious face.

With a creak, the door was opened.

Lao Yang, wearing a black raincoat, stood in front of the door, looked at the few people, and nodded.

"You outsiders, you just arrived on the island, let me remind you. There are two places on this island not to go. One is the white signal tower at the highest point on the island. A murder case happened there before. The other is in the deepest part of the mountain on the island. There is an old altar in the stone forest there. It was the site where the residents of the island prayed to the Dragon King for good weather. Later, a disappearance occurred, and the place was abandoned. You can have fun, but don't tear open the sealed altar. I finally re-sealed it."

Altar? This kind of place that can be used for tricks as soon as you hear it.

Several people looked serious and sincere. But they all had a little curiosity in their hearts.

Song Siyu immediately said that he would never destroy the altar, saying that he and others would just take a look.

Lao Yang carefully scanned the people.

"Just remember, the altar is where the fool killed someone and cut him into pieces and stuffed the body into it. The resentment was very heavy, and I finally sealed it with the method passed down from my ancestors. If it is torn apart, something bad will happen."

He pointed at several people.

"Also, if you have to go, you can go there during the day, it's okay to look far away, don't go there at night. Some things like to appear at night the most."

Several people were frightened by his gloomy expression when he spoke, and they didn't say anything for a while. When they came to their senses, Lao Yang had disappeared at the door.

There was a silence for a while.

Gao Wen laughed carelessly.

"Well said, look at this line, where did you find the person, Xiaoyu, it's quite interesting!"

"It's not the person I found." Song Siyu said helplessly.

"Okay. This old man, it was just a murder case of mental illness before, but after that old man said it, he made it seem supernatural, as if it was very dangerous. The atmosphere is good!" Gao Wen laughed.

"Anyway, just be careful." Song Siyu sighed.

The few people quickly changed the topic and continued to chat. Zhao Sisi also took out the cards. After eating, they played cards together.

Creak.

Suddenly, there was a noise of opening and closing the door of another room outside.

Wei Chengjun got up and went to the door to look.

"It's the Yu Hong from before." He turned around and said to the others at the door.

"It seems that he hasn't found another place to live." Zhao Sisi smiled, "It just so happens that we have hot water here. Brother Jun, ask him if he wants to come and sit with us."

"Okay."

Wei Chengjun opened the door without saying a word and walked out.

Not long after, he returned to the light of the house, followed by Yu Hong, who was much more burly.

Song Siyu and the other two made room for Yu Hong and let him sit around the fire.

"There are only a few people on this island. Brother Yu, why don't you find a house nearby to rest?" Song Siyu suggested.

"Yes." Yu Hong nodded. He has now begun to learn and translate the content on his own, trying to master the second night text.

He just went to the depths of the island and accidentally found a thin black fog. There was nothing else.

After a careful search, he failed to find the source of the black fog. Seeing that the storm outside was getting closer and closer, he decided to go back to this place to find Song Siyu and the other five to continue to inquire about the information.

Unexpectedly, just after sitting down, he heard a few people say that an old man, Lao Yang, had just come and warned them not to touch the cover of the altar.

"Lao Yang? Resentment?" Yu Hong was somewhat surprised.

"It sounds mysterious and serious." Song Siyu nodded, "I don't believe these things. The main reason is that Lao Yang always has a mysterious and serious expression, which makes me a little scared."

"I didn't see any Lao Yang when I came here." Yu Hong said.

"Maybe they are out of sync. I always feel that Old Yang seems to have mental problems." Song Siyu whispered.

Then she talked about the murder that happened on the island three years ago.

Yu Hong took the opportunity to chat with her again and asked a lot of things about the outside world.

Gradually, he learned that this place was not completely untouched by the black disaster.

There have been news about wells with black fog all over the world.

After checking carefully, he vaguely felt that the place where Song Siyu and others were located seemed to be in a stage where the black well had just appeared and the black disaster had not yet erupted.

But unlike Yiyi's side, the black well here was quickly resolved and suppressed by local forces as soon as it appeared.

There was no wind or waves.

When the black well first appeared, it was still a hot news for a while. Later, after it was closed, the popularity gradually declined and the public lost interest.

So Song Siyu and the other five could talk about it clearly.

The black well was closed so easily that Yu Hong once thought that these were fake black wells.

But what Song Siyu and others said was completely consistent with the information about the Black Well that Yu Hong knew.

So he became very interested in the local forces that closed the Black Well.

He kept talking about this topic with Song Siyu for a long time.

The night slowly deepened.

After chatting for a while, Yu Hong reluctantly got up and went back, and also found a house nearby to stay.

Just after he had roughly cleaned up, there was a knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong.

"Come in." Yu Hong said casually. The door of the room was opened, and Gawain stood alone in front of the door, holding a cigarette in his mouth and blowing out two pillars of smoke from his nostrils, looking at Yu Hong against the rain.

"Brother, let's talk?"

Yu Hong stood up in surprise and pointed to his ears, expressing that he did not understand.

"Okay, stop pretending, I've seen it all, you understand." Gawain said impatiently. "Okay, buddy, where are you doing? Let me know."

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong asked in Eryewen somewhat awkwardly.

"Let's put it this way, Xiaoyu's appearance is not very good, but her family conditions are no worse than mine. Some little thoughts are best put away." Gao Wen said lightly. Staring at Yu Hong spinning the phone in his hand.

"Thinking?" Yu Hong understood what the other party meant.

"Brother, at your age, you should understand some things. You can't afford to support a girl like Xiaoyu. A meal out costs tens of thousands. Do you have this amount in your monthly salary?"

He took off the cigarette cartridge and flicked it.

"Have you bought a house or a car? Are you a fitness instructor or an athlete? It's quite leisurely to come to this place for vacation. I just need to be clear-headed sometimes. Do you understand?"

Emotionally, he regarded this place as an ordinary college student who wanted to travel.

Yu Hong nodded.

"You are right. The consumption gap is too big, and it is indeed difficult to live together."

"As long as you understand." Gawain's face looked better. "It's fate to meet each other on the island. Where did you graduate? You're so sensible. When you leave the island, you can come to work in my company. With your size, I will be the company's long-term coach. I will give you 30,000 a month. How about that? In exchange "From now on, you can hang out with me and help Xiaoyu on the island, is that okay?"

Seeing the other party's confident and rich posture, Yu Hong felt extremely nostalgic for a moment.

After the Black Disaster broke out, there were no rich second generation people with such authentic tastes. There were just ordinary people running for their lives with their faces full of snot, tears, and shit.

"Gaowen, is your family rich?" Yu Hong asked.

"It's okay. If you don't gamble and invest, you won't be able to use it up in a few lifetimes." Gao Wen said calmly.

"Then do your parents have other daughters and sons?" Yu Hong asked again.

"No, why are you asking about these miscellaneous things? It's none of your business!" Gawain became impatient.

"Then you are an only child. Your parents must cherish you and care about you?" Yu Hong continued.

"So what?" Gawain became increasingly unhappy.

"That's good, you can go back and rest." Yu Hong smiled and stopped talking.

"What do you mean? Do you agree or not?" Gawain frowned and felt unhappy.

"I'm just an ordinary part-time worker. I'm not a fitness coach or an athlete. I'm not interested in working in your company. Exercising is just my hobby." Yu Hong thought for a moment and gave the other party an answer.

He planned to try it out to see if he could create an identity and get in touch with the other person's world.

Traces of the Black Disaster and Black Mist were found in this place before, but since they had no identity, it was difficult to intervene.

So, he turned his attention to the small group of five people in front of him.

‘But the premise of everything is that I am sure I can stay here for a long time this time. ’

He never stayed on it for long in the place of life that the Black Ship had found. This time, a place with living people suddenly appeared, and this place was actually part of another complete world.

This gave rise to many speculations in Yu Hong's mind.

"Okay, you are quite interesting." Gao Wen heard what Yu Hong meant. He actually wanted to get angry and felt that he should get angry and curse after being rejected.

But when I saw the other person's arms that were almost as thick as my own thighs, I felt that people should still value harmony.

Especially when this little brother is not around.

So he hummed twice, turned around and left the door, closing the door behind him.

Yu Hong was left sitting on the chair, unable to help but have a smile on his face.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning.

Yu Hong got up very early.

He stood outside the door and looked at the slowly whitening sky, feeling indescribably moved in his heart.

How long had it been since he had seen the real sun?

Since the black fog enveloped everything, the sun has gradually been blocked by the fog. Even at dawn, only the illuminated fog can be seen.

Not like now

Soon, when he was moved, the other five people followed suit.

The five of them stretched and yawned, and saw Yu Hong standing outside as motionless as a sculpture.

Several people looked at each other, feeling a little weird.

Is it possible that someone who is so fascinated by the sun that shines every day has something wrong with his brain?

Song Whisper finished washing up and discussed with her friends. When she saw Yu Hong, she took the initiative to approach here.

"Brother Yu, where do you live from?" she asked with a soft smile.

"It's a small city. You must have never heard of it." Yu Hong didn't know where his home was, so he said it casually.

"Did the eldest brother graduate? Did he get a job? Did he start a family?" Song whispered and continued to ask.

"I graduated, and I'm still looking for a job. I haven't started a family yet," Yu Hong replied simply, understanding what the other person meant.

"A boy with a sense of security like Brother Yu will definitely be able to find a good girl easily." Song comforted in a whisper.

Yu Hong was also in a good mood at this time.

"I'm just an ordinary person who graduated from an ordinary university. I just like to exercise. I don't have any other special features and I look average. But I still thank you for your kind words."

"Brother Yu, you are too modest. With your conditions, it is easy to make money." Song whispered, "For example, we want to ask you to work as a shooting assistant part-time, 1,000 yuan a day, Brother Yu..."
