Desperate Night.

Chapter 274 274 Island

"Who?" Wei Chengjun stood up reflexively and looked towards the door.

"I'm 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 always serious expression on his face.

With a creak, the door was opened.

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

"You outsiders, you just arrived on the island, so I'm going to warn you. There are two places on the island that you should not go to. One is the white signal tower at the highest point on the island. A murder happened there before. The other is in a mountain deep in the island. There is an old altar in the stone forest there. It was the site where the islanders used to pray to the Dragon King for good weather. Later, a disappearance happened and the place was abandoned. You can have fun, but don't tear open the sealed altar. I had a lot of trouble resealing it."

Altar? This is a place that can be used to create various things.

The expressions of the few people were serious and sincere, but they all had a hint of curiosity in their hearts.

Song Siyu immediately stated that he would definitely not destroy the altar, and said that he and others were just taking a look around.

Old Yang looked at the few people carefully.

"Just remember it. That altar is where that idiot killed someone, chopped him into pieces, stuffed the body in there and dumped it. The resentment was so strong that I had to use the method passed down from my ancestors to seal it with great difficulty. If it's torn apart, something bad will happen."

He pointed at a few people.

"Also, if you must go, you can go there during the day, it's okay to go there from a distance, don't go there after dark. Some things prefer to appear after dark."

Several people were frightened by the gloomy expression when he spoke, and did not speak for a while. When they came to their senses, Lao Yang had disappeared at the door.

There was silence for a while.

Gawain laughed without caring.

"That's very well said. Look at this line. Where did you find this person, Xiaoyu? It's quite interesting!"

"It's not the person I'm looking for." Song Siyu said helplessly.

"Okay, okay. This old man, it was clearly just a case of mentally ill murder before, but after that old man said that, it became weird and seemed very dangerous. The atmosphere is really good!" Gao Wen said with a smile.

"Anyway, just be careful." Song sighed.

They quickly changed the topic and continued chatting. Zhao Sisi even took out some cards, and after eating, they played cards together.

creak.

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

Wei Chengjun stood up and went to look at the door.

"It's the Yu Hong from before." He turned around and spoke to a few people at the door.

"It looks like he hasn't found another place to stay." Zhao Sisi said with a smile, "It just so happens that we have hot water here, Brother Jun, ask him if he wants to come sit with us."

"Row."

Wei Chengjun opened the door and walked out without saying a word
Soon, he returned to the light of the house, followed by Yu Hong's much larger figure.

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.

"Yeah." Yu Hong nodded. He has now begun to study and translate the content on his own, trying to master the Second Night Text.

He had just gone deep into the island and unexpectedly discovered a very thin wisp of black fog, but nothing else.

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

Unexpectedly, just after he sat down, he heard several people say that an old man named Lao Yang had just come and warned them not to touch the covering of the altar.

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

"It sounds mysterious and serious." Song Siyu nodded, "I don't believe it, but mainly because Old 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 Hongdao.

"Maybe they are misaligned. I always feel like there is something mentally wrong with Old Yang." 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 her a lot about the outside world.

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

There have been reports of wells emitting black mist from all over the world.

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

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

There wasn't a single wave of wind or waves.

When Black Well first appeared, it was a hot topic in the news for a while. But after it was closed, the popularity gradually declined and the public lost interest.

Therefore, the five people of Song Siyu were able to speak clearly and coherently.

The black wells were closed so easily that Yu Hong once thought they were fake black wells.

However, 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.

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

The night gradually deepened.

Yu Hong chatted for a while, then reluctantly got up and went back, and found a house nearby to stay.

Just as I finished cleaning up, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

"Come in." Yu Hong said casually. The door was opened, and Gao Wen was standing alone in front of the door, holding a cigarette in his mouth and puffing out two columns of smoke from his nostrils. He looked at Yu Hong in the rain.

"Brother, want to talk?"

Yu Hong stood up in surprise and pointed to his ears to indicate that he didn't understand.

"Okay, stop pretending. I can see it all. You know." Gao Wen said impatiently. "Okay, buddy, where are you from? Tell me."

"What, what do you mean?" Yu Hong asked in the second night text in a somewhat awkward tone.

"Let me put it this way. Xiaoyu doesn't dress well, but her family conditions are no worse than mine. It's best to keep some of your little thoughts to yourself." Gao Wen said calmly, staring at Yu Hong spinning his phone.

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

"Dude, at your age, you should understand some things. You can't afford a girl like Xiaoyu. Going out for a meal costs thousands or even tens of thousands. Do you have that much in your monthly salary?"

He took off his cigarette and flicked it.

"Have you bought a house? Have you bought a car? Are you a fitness trainer or an athlete? It's considered free to come here for vacation, but sometimes you need to clear your mind. Do you understand?"

It seems that he treated this place as an ordinary college student traveling on Douban.

Yu Hong nodded.

"You're right. The consumption gap is so big that it's really hard to live together."

"I'm glad you understand." Gao Wen's face looked better. "It's fate that we met on the island. Where did you graduate from? You're so sensible. When you leave the island, you can come to work in my company. With your size, you can be a long-term coach in the company. I'll give you 30,000 a month. How about it? In exchange, from today on, you'll be with me and help Xiaoyu on the island. Is that okay?"

Looking at the other party's confident and wealthy attitude, Yu Hong felt extremely nostalgic for a moment.

After the outbreak of the black disaster, it is no longer possible to find such authentic rich second-generation people. What remains are just ordinary people with snot and tears on their faces, running for their lives in panic.

"Gao Wen, is your family rich?" Yu Hong asked.

"It's OK. If I don't gamble or invest, I can spend it in several lifetimes." Gao Wen said calmly.

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

"No, why the hell are you asking all these questions? It's none of your business!" Gao Wen was impatient.

"Then you are the only son. Your parents must love you and care about you very much?" Yu Hong continued.

"So what?" Gao Wen became more and more unhappy.

"That's good, you can go back and have some rest." Yu Hong smiled and said nothing more.

"What do you mean? Do you agree or not?" Gao Wen frowned unhappily.

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

He planned to give it a try to see if he could get an identity and have some contact with the other party's world.

Traces of the black disaster and black fog were discovered in this place before, but since I have no identity, it is difficult to intervene.

So, he set his sights on the small group of five people in front of him.

'But the premise of all this is that I can definitely stay here for a long time this time.'

He had never stayed in a place of life for a long time. This time, a place of life 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're quite interesting." Gao Wen understood what Yu Hong meant. He actually wanted to get angry, thinking that he should get angry and curse a few times because he was rejected.

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

Especially when this little brother is not around.

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

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

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

Yu Hong got up very early.

He stood outside the door, gazing at the sky which was gradually turning pale, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

How long has it been since he saw the real sun?

Since the black fog enveloped everything, the sun was gradually blocked by the fog. Even when the sun rose, only the illuminated fog could be seen.

Not like now
Soon, as he was moved, the other five also stood up.

The five people stretched and yawned, and saw Yu Hong standing outside, motionless like a sculpture.

Several people looked at each other and felt something was strange.

Is there something wrong with this person's brain that makes him so obsessed with the sun that appears every day?

After Song Siyu finished washing up, she discussed with her friends, and when she saw Yu Hong, she took the initiative to walk towards him.

"Brother Yu, where are you from?" she asked with a gentle smile.

"It's a small city, you've definitely never heard of it." Yu Hong had no idea where his home was, so he just answered casually.

"Brother, have you graduated? Are you working? Are you married?" Song Siyu continued to ask.

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

"A guy as secure as Brother Yu will definitely find a good girl easily." Song whispered to comfort him.

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. There's nothing special about me. I'm also average looking. But thank you for your kind words anyway."

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