Dream Guide

The rescue center set up by the United Nations is on Rapa Island, the administrative center of the Bass Islands. It is an island not much smaller than Tubuai but much more desolate. There are only less than 500 residents on the island. On the bustling mainland , this population is only equivalent to one village.

The rescue center is just a temporary headquarters here, and there are not many personnel stationed there. All the supplies that were shipped in the early stage are mainly stored here.

Because participating in search and rescue can receive free supplies, including fuel and food, and the residents of the island are also happy to drive their own large and small fishing boats out to sea to help, so Petru's boat was not blocked when it sailed into Ahule Bay.

Rapa Island is a paradise for birds, and BirdLife International has designated it as a key bird sanctuary. There is a deafening restlessness in the air on the island, which is the chirping of birds everywhere. People who have lived on the island for a long time cannot hear this sound, and they think it is a quiet place in the world. , however, people who have just arrived on the island will be very uncomfortable with this kind of white noise. It's like sitting in a cafe for a long time and you can't hear the noise around you, but people who have just entered find it very noisy.

Only the coal boss became happy as soon as he landed on the island, as if a wanderer who was far away from his hometown returned to his hometown and saw friends he hadn't seen for many years.

However, after flying around the island for a whole time, he returned to Aoki's head without interest, complaining that not a single one of the thousands of birds on such a large island could understand what he said.

Aoki laughed and said that of course they wouldn't understand you if you were a bird that spoke human language, so why couldn't you speak some bird language. The coal boss said that it was not a problem of language, but of IQ. The birds here obviously belonged to an uncivilized group and could not understand what he wanted to express.

People from the rescue center received them and updated them on the progress of the search and rescue efforts - which made no progress at all.

The people here actually know less information than Qingmu and Su Huilan, because they have not read Captain Church's diary and do not know what the scientific research ship has experienced.

Aoki's identity was only Su Huilan's assistant, and Petru was just the fishing captain they paid to hire, so the two of them basically didn't speak, and only Su Huilan made the main exchanges.

Su Huilan did not tell the people at the rescue center about the captain's diary and charts. No one could guarantee whether there would be any problems with the people there.

Petru quietly told Aoki and Su Huilan that there is also a Tabu on Lapa Island, but it is not as big and complete as the one on Tubuai Island.

Aoki decided to take a look, and Su Huilan agreed. But Petru didn't know how to get to this place from the pier of Ahulay Bay. The entire island covers an area of ​​nearly 40 square kilometers. It was not easy to find this place on two legs.

They had a simple lunch on the island, refueled the boat, and left Ahule Bay. Petru drove the boat half a circle around Rapa Island and found a small bay where he could barely anchor his boat.

Petru lowered a raft from the boat, and the three of them rode the raft ashore. After walking about five kilometers, he arrived at the Tabu he was talking about.

It would be fine if you have never seen Tabu on Tubuai Island, but after comparison, you will find that Tabu on Lapa Island can only be regarded as a relic.

There are shrubs and weeds everywhere here, unlike Tubuai Island where the entire hillside is barren of grass. If an unintentional person passes by, he will never find any pattern among the scattered exposed brown stones.

Su Huilan walked around, shook her head at Qingmu and said, "There is no mental fluctuation here, but judging from the distribution of these stones, they are indeed similar to that Tabu."

Aoki approached an exposed stone, put his ear to it and listened, as if there was something inside the stone. After listening for a while, he straightened up, took a deep breath, and said, "It's still there, but it's very weak, like a dying old man."

Su Huilan frowned, closed her eyes and felt it carefully, then gave up and said: "Sure enough, you are still better than me."

Aoki smiled and said: "It's not that I'm stronger, it's just that the methods we use are different."

"Do you have any other secrets?" Su Huilan asked curiously.

Aoki said: "What do you think is the source of Tabu's spiritual power?"

Su Huilan said: "There is no grass growing on the hillside of Tubuai Island. Judging from the landform, there is probably radioactive material underground. It is this material that releases radioactivity and spiritual energy at the same time."

Aoki said: "What you said makes sense. Regardless of whether it is radioactive material or not, the vegetation on the ground will be affected. You feel whether the stone has spirit, but what I feel is whether the spirit of the plant is affected."

"You can already feel the spiritual power of plants?" Su Huilan asked in surprise, "This is the legendary realm of the Dream Master!"

"I just learned it. As for the Big Dream Teacher, I don't know him." As Aoki spoke, he felt the endless greenery emanating from the wicker in the backpack he was carrying.

Su Huilan picked a wild flower nearby, put it to her nose and sniffed it, but finally gave up trying to feel the spirit of the plants.

She suddenly stared at Petru and asked: "How did you find this place without the guidance of spiritual power?"

Petru explained: "It's a coincidence. I searched according to the map, but did not dock at Ahule Bay. After choosing the island, I happened to find this place. Other islands did not go so smoothly. Some islands, on the chart It’s marked, but I didn’t find Tab.”

Su Huilan picked up a stone and thought: "Maybe it's not radioactive elements. Otherwise, even if it decays, it won't be covered with vegetation so quickly."

"Maybe there was no radiation a thousand years ago!"

"This place is not far from Tubuai Island, and the environment is not very different. Assuming that Tubuai is a project of the same era, it is impossible for the decay period to be so different."

"Whether there is radioactivity or not, the gradual decay of spiritual energy is certain. I wonder how strong the spiritual energy was when these taboos were first built, and how powerful the wizards were at that time?"

Aoki sighed and asked Petru: "Is the one you found in Tabli and Tubuai the most complete and powerful?"

Petlu said, "There are at least two or three that are similar to Tubuai Island, but they are very desolate and uninhabitable, so I only lived on one of them for a while, and finally chose Tubuai Island. There is also another island, The tabu up there exudes the strongest spiritual power. But..."

"But what?"

"That's a ghost island. When I first found that sea area according to the map, there was no such island. I discovered it later when I returned. Tabu is in the center of the island. There is a hot spring there, which may be a volcano. Mouth. I tried to go into the water once and found that there is a strong spiritual power under the water, but I can't feel it on the shore. Maybe I am not awakened enough."

"Crater?" Qingmu and Su Huilan thought of the inverted pyramid at the same time, which seemed to be embedded in a mountain pass.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, the spiritual power in the water was very strong and almost made me faint. I didn't dare to stay long and left. Later I went there again, but I found that there seemed to be someone on the island. I don't know who it was. No one dares to come close."

Su Huilan looked at Qingmu: "Would you like to go take a look?"

Aoki said: "Go, of course I want to go."
