While the others on the deck were cleaning up the bodies and reporting the incident, inside the cruise ship, in a storage room filled with junk, a low and suppressed aura mingled with a faint scent of blood permeated the entire space.

In this small, cramped room where one could barely turn around, a lot of dried food for the voyage was stored, along with a continuously running dehumidifier, constantly emitting noise.

This noise also masked Yang Chengxi's breathing.

She was covered in blood, shot in the abdomen, and her right arm was grabbed by one of those monsters. Now, her entire arm, including the alloy modules inside, was completely ruined, twisted into scrap metal.

And this was the only modified module on her entire body.

As the saying goes, even a seasoned goose hunter gets pecked in the eye. As a member of the Blue Wing Pirate Fleet, she thought this inside contact had given her a lucrative deal.

After all, two seemingly harmless, wealthy people who had lost all their elders, sailing out to sea on a cruise ship, what else could they be but fat sheep?

"Yes, this is your mother," the man replied. "But she has been dead for many years."

"This mental illness is probably hereditary. It's quite tragic to think about it."

"Can you point me in the right direction, boss?" Yang Chengxi discreetly placed a hundred-yuan bill on the table.

This made her relieved, and she quickly began searching for the kitchen.

"Don't worry, we just want to chat with Aisha." Yang Chengxi didn't expect to get the information so easily. He immediately paid and got up to leave.

Yang Chengxi shook the bell on the fence gate, just a few minutes after she left the storage room.

If he found the Sunken Shrine, he wouldn't mind relaxing and playing with those two siblings.

Unconsciously, she leaned her fullest part against Yang Chengxi's arm.

Many places still retained a very old-fashioned decor.

But....

"What are you looking for my family for? I have a daughter and a son. My son died the year before last. I don't know what he was thinking, he jumped into the sea, not even a shadow left. My daughter Aisha is just as crazy, living in the old house, rarely coming out."

Passing through the harbor.

"But... I'm really scared..." Haini's short hair was constantly tossed by the sea breeze.

Through the wooden fence, he carefully examined the building.

"How is it?" Yang Chengxi found a small restaurant and sat down at an outdoor red tablecloth table, basking in the sun, and looked at Fladi, who was sitting across from him.

Yang Chengxi was speechless, but he didn't refuse, reaching out and gently putting his arm around her.

Too bad...

The building was made of two-story yellow wood, half of the outer walls were covered with green plants, and there was a small abandoned garden, sparsely overgrown with messy plants.

The people in the town were all short, mostly around 1.8 meters, and 1.9 meters was considered tall.

She had to find food and water, and wait for the bleeding to stop before escaping. The cruise ship would definitely find a place to dock, and that would be the best chance to escape. Li Chengxi's mind was clear.

Soon, the door of the small house opened, and a young woman in a white and green dress walked out.

*

A blurry figure appeared silently in front of the door, sniffing toward the inside.

Must... escape! Escape this cruise ship!'

"Chen Jiahan is here, that's Naxi Town." Haini pointed to the approaching island in the distance, and introduced softly.

"Okay."

The island was ring-shaped, with a large harbor built facing the cruise ship.

Some windows and doors were completely submerged by climbing green vines, obviously no one had lived there for a long time.

The side effects of the Eternal Life surgery required fresh heart blood within one hour of a person's death. After a portion of heart blood was taken, rapid freezing could preserve the effect for half a year.

The boss sighed.

"Woo... I really didn't expect... it would be like this..." Haini leaned against the railing, tears streaming down her face.

"Excuse me, does Ms. Tomila live here?" Yang Chengxi asked.

"Who are you looking for?" the woman asked, slowly approaching.

The sea breeze was blocked by the ring-shaped island forest. There was even a small stream here, connected to a freshwater lake, which was the only water source for the entire town.

"....."

"Okay, call me when the target arrives." Woo...

"Is that the target ship?" A low,沉声 voice asked from behind.

Several ships were already docked there, swaying with the waves.

In the garden, there was only a cobblestone path leading from the gate to the fence gate entrance.

After rushing through the corridor in a few strides, she looked up to check the cameras. Fortunately, it seemed that in order to hide something, no cameras were installed on this ship.

Only by escaping to a place with many people could she get treatment, could those two monsters be wary, not dare to expose themselves, and could she truly have a chance to escape.

Although it was a very old model picked up many years ago, it was still a mechanical arm for改造人...

Moreover, each of them was quite thin, very old, and looked very weak.

Their identities were a mystery, and behind them seemed to be hidden some unknown secrets.

"It's okay, everything is over. Those pirates have all been taken care of." He comforted softly.

After Yang Chengxi and Haini's siblings exchanged contact information, they disembarked together.

"Is anyone there?" he shouted, amplifying the volume with a translator.

The harbor also had guidance from Guan Lingyu's people, disembarking to collect docking fees.

"I'll find a place to stay first. Where do you live? How can I contact you? I'll come back to you later." Yang Chengxi was also very interested in the two of them.

The entire town was painted white, and it shone dimly in the afternoon sun, looking unusually clean.

Guan Lingyi was now lying without batting an eye, sincere and natural.

"Brother... your figure, is very similar to my father's. Can you comfort me like he did? I'm so scared..." Haini choked and said softly.

The two of them just snuggled together like that, neither of them speaking again.

Soon, the two of them wandered around, completely scouting the entire town.

Yang Chengxi drank something and ate some of the local oyster pizza, feeling it was difficult to swallow, so he simply pulled the wrinkled old boss over to chat.

Yang Chengxi and Fladi's burly figures, walking on the cobblestone streets of the town, attracted a lot of attention.

Her broken arm was still bleeding, a wound left by being torn by brute force.

"Try not to. If you have to, handle it cleanly." Guan Lingyi was not the kind of person who stuck to means, he only wanted efficiency.

Somewhere on an island harbor, on a large ship that had docked early.

Dang dang.

As soon as they met, when those two saw them disembarking, the expressions on their faces were not panic, but a strange surprise.

Yang Chengxi recalled everything that had just happened, as if he had fallen into a dream.

Faint light shone on the side of the visitor's face, reflecting Likel's handsome face with a faint smile.

"What do you want from me? Take the money back, I don't want his money, just don't hurt that child." The boss frowned, not even looking at the bill.

There were only eight hotels on the island, and they checked into the best one—the Red Dolphin Hotel.

"...."

Groups of seagulls flew around, swooping down from time to time and landing on the ship's railings.

This mechanical arm, which had been used for many years, was instantly twisted as if it had been gripped by a hydraulic press.

Yang Chengxi didn't stop, crossing a large forest, and finally came to this town, as primitive as a paradise.

She looked extremely sad, so many people had died, and they were all her friends, indeed she had reason to be sad.

"Understood." Fladi glanced at the old man who was walking out of the restaurant to bring them drinks, and turned and left quickly.

This was asking him to be her dad...

"It's like this, I'm a freelance writer, I heard about the prophecy before, and I wanted to come over with a friend to interview the person involved and do a related report."

*

"Don't even think about doing anything bad, everyone in this town knows each other." He gave a final warning.

"She died many years ago. At that time, she liked to write small notes that seemed like prophecies, but when people took them to verify, they found that the words on these notes were all made up, and no one paid attention to her." The restaurant owner explained simply.

Guan Lingyi looked at her standing so close to him, he always felt that this guy was looking for an opportunity to take advantage of him.

As the forward哨 arranged here by the Ideal Land organization, they arrived here eight hours earlier, just to wait for the cruise ship that Yang Chengxi and the others were on.

Only the two of them never expected that Yang Chengxi and the others would change ships halfway and board the Kagadella, which often came to the island.

Li Chengxi wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling very thirsty, and if she continued like this, she would die here sooner or later.

"This place... is a bit strange. It's understandable that it's all old people, after all, young people yearn for modern life and it's normal to go out to work, but it feels lifeless, which is a bit wrong," Fladi said.

This was also one of the reasons why they acted only once every six months.

Yang Chengxi didn't say a word, just smiled.

Everything was safe and sound. Without any waves, the guide seemed very familiar with the cruise ship, quickly completed the handover with the crew, and finally docked.

Her face was pale, her eyes were dark green, her hair was disheveled and unkempt, and her lips were chapped and cracked, showing obvious signs of vitamin deficiency.

Thinking of this, she struggled to get up, moved to the door, and carefully pulled the door open a crack.

Looking at the dark corridor outside the door, she gritted her teeth and rushed out in one breath.

Those two monsters were too fast, like two gusts of wind, she couldn't even capture them with the smart locking module, and in the blink of an eye, she felt a pain in her arm.

A small, dark green island gradually appeared directly in front of the cruise ship.

"Tomila? Are you talking about that crazy old Tomila?" The boss unexpectedly remembered the person Yang Chengxi was asking about immediately.

*

Her voice was very hoarse, as if she hadn't drunk water for a long time.

As long as they captured the two of them and threatened them to hand over their property, this deal would be enough for the brothers to eat for a year. They could recover. And just as the cruise ship docked.

"The scenery here is very good, if you want to play with us, my brother and I have been here several times, and we are already very familiar with this place, and we have also made many friends on the island," Haini said softly.

*

*

"The language spoken here is Guan Lingyu, put on the translator and patrol around to see if there are any troubles or dangers in this place," Yang Chengxi instructed.

Soon, passing through the streets, they arrived at the town square.

After Yang Chengxi and Fladi checked into the hotel and settled down, they immediately went down the mountain from the hotel and headed to Naxi Town in the center of the island to find the target.

Under the gaze of the sparsely scattered old people, he came to an old house with a wooden sign hanging on it that read Aisha Su.

As the cruise ship approached, slowed down, and entered the port. Then, the massacre began.

But looking closer, one could find that many houses had peeling paint, and the houses were empty, the wooden doorknobs and railings were covered with mold and green buds.

"Then does the boss know where her family is now?"

Someone looked over here through the glass window.

"No." Fladi nodded and stood up, "Can I kill people?"

"No, it's the Kagadella, that ship is a regular customer here. It comes for vacation every year." The observer replied.

"Before, when my father was still alive, every time I was scared, he would gently hug me, rest his chin on my head, comfort me, and encourage me." Haini said softly, her light red eyes gently turned to look at Yang Chengxi.

According to the information found in the 朝语 library, a man named Tomila in Naxi Town possessed information about the Sunken Shrine. That strange message was recorded on the notes that she had written.

And the last female island leader with face paint thought she hadn't been discovered, but in fact, Likel had specially left her as prey for himself to play a hunting game with.

After sending a message to Fladi through a short-range encrypted communicator, he walked straight towards Aisha's house.

"Alright, anyway, there's nothing in our family that can be coveted. Aisha's house is along this street, keep going straight to the center, near the town square, there's a two-story wooden building, that's her house."

"Fresh heart blood..."

As dusk gradually approached.
