Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 1090

It is not surprising to others that Li Gui (Li Teng) is so kind to Miss Song Qing (Ella).

Because Li Gui is Song Qing's bodyguard, it is her duty for him to treat her well.

Moreover, Li Teng was the one doing the whole process of washing and cooking the chickens and ducks, so it was not too much work.

Richard raised no objection, and no one else would raise any objection.

The most pitiful one is Zeka.

Because he had to pretend to be exhausted and unconscious, the others only remembered to leave some for him after they finished sharing the chicken and duck.

So I left the chicken butt, duck butt, chicken ribs and duck ribs to him.

"Okay, it's time to wake up! If you don't wake up, there will be nothing in the pot!" After Richard had eaten, he kicked Zeka who was lying on the ground.

"Um...did I faint?" Zeka had no choice but to wake up.

He was still running a fever and had no appetite, but he knew he wouldn't be able to stop eating.

So he put the unwanted chicken buttocks, duck buttocks, chicken ribs, and duck ribs in the bottom of the pot into a bowl and started eating.

Seeing these things left by everyone, Zeka felt a deep sense of humiliation.

He also began to hate Richard in his heart.

This boss Lin pretends to be so pitiful and kind in front of the public.

But his true appearance is so fierce and vicious.

Forget it, just keep enduring it for the sake of this job.

There is a wife and children to support at home, a house and a car to provide for, and a little impatience can lead to big plans.

What happened to chicken butt and duck butt? Fat makes you hungry!

What happened to chicken ribs and duck ribs? Is it possible that we even dislike something as good as pork ribs?

After some self-hypnosis, Zeka forcibly suppressed the humiliated and angry emotions in his heart.

After dinner, it was already dark.

There was no electricity in the stone house and only a few candles were found.

Everyone sat and chatted casually under the dim light of candles.

"Gemma should have let Gemma drive the yacht away, this woman! Oh...how could she do this? She only cares about herself..." Richard began to pour dirty water on Gemma.

"I also think she should have let someone drive the yacht away, otherwise it wouldn't have left the dock for no reason." Zeka couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after hearing what Richard said.

"I heard that your ex-wife was killed by the nanny?" Ella deliberately provoked Richard's topic.

"Yes! That was the most painful and dark moment in my life..." Richard then began to act miserably and performed the same routine he performed in front of the public.

Ella almost lost control of her emotions after listening to his lies. Li Teng secretly reminded her several times before she suppressed her anger.

Li Teng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

Woman! It is indeed too emotional! It's obviously a scar that I don't want to uncover, but I want to uncover it deliberately. Ella, what's the point of bringing this topic up?

…

It gets dark early, and it's already dark after seven o'clock.

Everyone started to yawn due to the fatigue from the day.

There is not much to do at night. Whatever you want to do, there are too many people and it is inconvenient.

So, after dark, you can only sleep.

The stone house has two side rooms, but each side room has only one bed.

There were seven people at the scene, four men and three women.

Moreover, each stone house is not big. Only one person can sleep on the bed, and no more than two people can sleep on the ground under the bed.

The final allocation was that the three girls slept in a side room, Richard and Zeka slept in a side room, and Li Teng and Yang Shunli slept in the stone room in the middle.

"Senior, are there any problems with this arrangement? Do you need someone to keep watch at night? One of the tourists is a ghost! And one tourist must be killed every day..." After Yang Shunli lay down, he lowered his voice and asked Li Teng.

"Are you a ghost?" Li Teng asked Yang Shunli.

"How is it possible that the four of us are from prison? It must be Mr. Lin and one of them is a ghost." Yang Shunli said in a helpless tone.

"It's hard to say. The rules only say that one of the tourists is a ghost, and the four of us are also considered tourists." Li Teng shook his head.

"Is it that Minduo?" Yang Shunli was shocked.

He, Li Teng and Aila had already gone through a mission together and knew everything about it, but the origin of this Min Duo was unknown. Maybe the prison took advantage of their cognitive bias and deliberately arranged for a ghost to be with them?

"It's possible, but not necessarily." Li Teng didn't have a clue yet.

"Those two women are in danger." Yang Shunli muttered softly.

“Even if Mindo is a ghost, it’s not necessarily the two women who are unlucky. Maybe the ghost deliberately doesn’t kill the women around him and chooses to kill a man in order to cover himself up?

"The rules must have restrictions on ghosts, so that ghosts cannot kill people at will. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to get a pass from ghosts." Li Teng replied to Yang Shunli.

"Then what should we do now?" Yang Shunli had a look of fear on his face.

Compared with his performance in the last mission, Yang Shunli seems to have overcome the sadness of losing his girlfriend and has become stronger in his desire to survive.

"Let's take turns to watch the night watch. It's past seven o'clock now, with zero hour as the boundary. I'll be on duty for the first half of the night, and you'll be on duty for the second half of the night. I'll sleep from midnight to five o'clock. At five o'clock, you'll probably be too sleepy again and need to catch up. Sleep, I will replace you when the time comes, remember to keep the candle from extinguishing it." Li Teng made the arrangement.

"Why should we use zero hour as the boundary? Why not use one or two o'clock in the morning as the boundary..." Yang Shunli's arrangement for Li Teng was a little strange.

"Ghost killings are based on one day. Kill one person a day. I will wake you up around 11:50. If the ghost hasn't killed anyone before, you will have to do it then. We will change shifts at that time. It happens to be two Everyone can stay awake." Li Teng answered Yang Shunli.

"Yeah, what you said makes sense, and thank you for your trust in me." Yang Shunli was convinced of Li Teng's arrangement. Seniors are seniors, and they just want to be one level better than them.

And he felt that Li Teng's arrangement had at least eliminated the possibility that he was a ghost.

But what Yang Shunli didn't know was that Li Teng had already agreed with Ella that he would be on duty for the first half of the night and Ella would be on duty for the second half of the night, especially to help him keep an eye on Yang Shunli in the stone room in the middle.

Regardless of whether being on duty is useful or not, at least it is a psychological comfort.

After everything was arranged, Yang Shunli lay down.

After lying down, Yang Shunli felt something was not right again.

What if... Li Teng is a ghost?

According to the rules, this possibility is not ruled out!

If Li Teng was a ghost and he was asleep, wouldn't it be easy for Li Teng to kill him? And it won't be discovered by others.

Soon Yang Shunli thought of something else.

Even if he was awake, wouldn't it be easy for Li Teng to kill him? He couldn't even make a sound.

In this case, it is better to sleep.

Dying in your sleep might be the best way to escape, right?

Chapter 1091

Yang Shunli did not believe that he could commute all his sentences.

Moreover, even if all his sentences were commuted and he returned to the Yang world, his life would become extremely gloomy without her.

He could never forget that scene.

When the two of them were almost running to the finish line hand in hand, they realized that only one of them could leave alive.

"You go! If you can return to the Yangshi, help me take care of my parents." Yang Shunli decided to sacrifice himself to fulfill his girlfriend Dong Qi.

They actually didn't have time to make ink marks, because the people behind them were about to catch up.

"Okay! Let me kiss him one last time." Dong Qi stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the forehead.

Then, she pushed him to the finish line, but ran back in the opposite direction, blocking the person who was trying to rush over.

"Take care of my parents! Don't let my sacrifice be in vain!"

These were the last words his girlfriend left for him.

He wanted to sacrifice himself to fulfill his girlfriend's wish, but unexpectedly, his girlfriend was more decisive than him and she directly used actions to fulfill his wish.

Every time he recalled that scene, he felt pain in his heart.

"I can't die, I have to live, otherwise her sacrifice will be in vain! I must go back alive and take good care of her parents..." Yang Shunli was lying on the ground of the stone house, tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

…

The first half of the night slowly came to an end.

It's time to change shifts.

Li Teng first woke up Ella, and then Yang Shunli.

There was a lot of movement in the side room where the girls were, and all three girls woke up.

After a while, they walked out of the side room and said they wanted to go to the toilet together.

The rain outside had stopped, and the toilet was on the other side of the yard. The three of them went there together.

"Be safe, do you want me to accompany you?" Li Teng asked Ella in a low voice.

"Invite him too, and stand together in the yard. Be careful not to be left alone. If there is any situation, come to the rescue at any time." Ella answered Li Teng in a low voice.

"OK."

After the two agreed, Ella took Minduo and the female assistant to the yard and walked to the toilet on the other side of the yard.

Li Teng and Yang Shunli came to the yard and looked in the direction of the toilet.

"Nothing happened to me even when I was asleep. I can rule out the suspicion that you are a ghost." Yang Shunli said to Li Teng.

"Maybe I'm paralyzing you?" Li Teng smiled.

"If you were a ghost, it would be easy to kill me. There is no need to devise any strategy." Yang Shunli also smiled.

Although he was talking to Yang Shunli, Li Teng was on high alert, observing the movements of Ella at all times, feeling that there was a high possibility that one of the three women was a ghost.

Although the phone cannot make calls, I can check the time.

The time now is already eleven fifty-eight at night, and it will soon be midnight.

If a ghost wants to kill a tourist, it must do it now.

…

However.

As the time got closer and closer to zero hour, and finally passed the zero hour, the imaginary screams did not sound.

Ella, Mindo and the female assistant walked over from the toilet safely.

Neither Li Teng nor Yang Shunli encountered any danger in the yard.

Li Teng quickly walked to the stone house and took a candle to illuminate the side room where Richard and Zeka were.

Both of them were sleeping deeply, and both were snoring. They seemed to be alive and well, and they were not dismembered by ghosts or anything like that.

"Then it was Jima who was killed by the ghost on the first day?" Yang Shunli asked Li Teng in a low voice.

"It can only be her." Li Teng frowned.

If it was Gemma, who killed her?

After he and Ella left Jima, everyone returned to the stone house and never left again.

Gemma was still alive at that time.

She only had a broken leg, and the weather wasn't too cold now. Even if she was soaked in the rain for a day, she wouldn't die, right?

And the rules require that ghosts must kill one person every day.

Even if Gemma died in the rain because of a broken leg, it couldn't be considered a murderer, right?

But now it's clear that the tourist who died on the first day was Gemma.

After carefully recalling the details of the rules, Li Teng basically identified a key suspect in his mind.

If his guess is correct, he can start looking for the pass now.

Forget it, let's wait until the shift changes again at five o'clock.

…

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

Yang Shunli sat against the wall, trying to keep his eyes open.

"What time is it? Why didn't you wake me up?" Li Teng sat up quickly.

"I see that senior is very tired and sleeps very hard. I want to let senior sleep a little longer. I will probably catch up on my sleep during the day." Yang Shunli whispered a few words to Li Teng.

"What time is it now?" Li Teng asked again.

"Six-thirty, it gets dark very early on this island, but it also gets light very early." Yang Shunli looked at his phone.

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll keep watch next time." Li Teng looked at the side rooms on both sides. Except for Ella, who was still trying to hold on, no one else was awake.

After Yang Shunli fell asleep, Li Teng quietly came to Ella.

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'll watch over you." Li Teng whispered to Ella.

"After a day and a night, do you have a clue who the ghost is?" Ella asked Li Teng in a low voice.

"I have basically locked in one person, but there is still a little bit of key evidence. Now is not the time to talk about this. The others may be pretending to be asleep. I will find a chance to talk to you in detail during the day." Li Teng said. Ella whispered something in her ear.

"Okay." Ella didn't ask any more questions. After lying down, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

…

Second day on the island.

It continues to rain.

The rain was slightly lighter than yesterday.

Zeka had a fever all night, and today she was lying on the ground, unable to get up at all.

It was Li Teng who took care of the meal.

The chickens and ducks in the yard, if they are eaten like this, they will be gone after just one meal.

I heard from Zeka on the ground that there were a lot of vegetables in the large vegetable field at the back, enough for everyone to eat for several days.

So, everyone decided to go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables together.

"I think we can't leave him here alone. Someone needs to take care of him, otherwise there will be problems." After Yang Shunli discussed with Li Teng, he raised the issue to everyone.

Zeka couldn't go to the vegetable patch with everyone. If he was left here, he would be alone.

Then the ghost can use him for today's killing mission.

According to the analysis of Yang Shunli and Li Teng, if someone is unwilling to pick vegetables and offers to stay here to take care of Zeka, and then Zeka dies, then there is a high possibility that that person is a ghost.

"You go pick vegetables, and I'll stay and take care of him." Richard heard what Yang Shunli said and offered it without hesitation.

Zeka's face suddenly turned ugly... Mr. Lin, are you staying? So who is taking care of whom?
