Chapter 165 Why Jumped Off the Sangsong Tower? The Dark Night is Ominous

Two days later...

The moonlight cast a layer of white sugar over the entire island, making the light dim and hazy.

There was a faint sound of shouting in the distance.

Three small figures were moving back and forth in the moonlight-less area, and the linen and bushes scraped against each other, making rustling sounds from time to time.

"Are you sure?" someone asked.

The person being asked hesitated, but still answered firmly, "I asked Madam Maggie."

The other two slowly stopped, somewhat surprised.

Seeing their expressions, the man laughed to himself, "Is it really that unbelievable?"

"Yes, Nerys." Fei Yi raised her eyes. "It's already incredible that you asked us for help."

"Nerys, a well-behaved girl, actually asked us to leave the tower." Fei Yi didn't miss the opportunity to mock her, "and at night."

Even skipping Clover and running to question Madam Maggie.

She asked them to leave the tower with her on the pretext of where to get treatment for a sick child.

Eddie stood silently beside Fei Yi, clearly agreeing with his playmate's opinion. He said, "Now, before we get to the place you mentioned, can you tell us everything?"

He was reluctant to let Fei Yi leave the tower in the first place, especially at night. He thought he had dodged Xiao Hui, but unexpectedly, there was also Nairis, someone he had not expected.

The wind from the ocean blew through the trees, making a rustling sound.

Nerys lowered her head and exhaled. She looked up and said, "You should know that children like Dale usually come back within seven days after being taken away."

But this time, more than seven days had passed and there was still no news from Dai'er.

"Xiao Hui asked Sister Clover, but she didn't say anything except that Dale was receiving treatment."

Nerys looked towards the invisible sea in the distance, her eyes filled with melancholy. "Sister Clover never said anything she didn't want to say, so I went to find Madam Maggie."

Madam Maggie was still the same as she remembered, and was not surprised by her arrival.

"She didn't want to talk to me, so I could only eavesdrop on her conversation with Sister Clover."

Moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, the wind blew the branches, and the silver light swayed on her face.

"Those children will be sent for drug testing." Nerys clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, staring at Fei Yi, who was looking at her in shock. "That's how she died back then."

Fei Yi's pupils shrank. Noticing the obvious change in her mood, Eddie asked, "Didn't she jump off the Sangsong Tower and die?"

All three knew who "she" was.

He was the third child in the sixth dormitory on the third floor. The previous one was relatively normal. The other one fell seriously ill and was taken away by Madam Maggie to an unknown place. After returning, he jumped off the Samson Tower.

Later, Xiao Hui took over her bed.

Mentioning her, Nerys couldn't help but tremble all over: "She was driven crazy by the experimental drugs."

She took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.

Eddie knew what this meant, but more importantly...

He lowered his eyes and looked at Fei Yi beside him. He moved a little closer to her and held her wrist.

Sure enough, the girl's wrist felt cold.

Eddie felt annoyed that he shouldn't have agreed to let her come, but he also understood that Fei Yi, who knew the truth, would not hesitate to accept Nerys's request.

If what Nerys said was true, then they shouldn't have come out casually, but had a plan.

"What will you do after it's confirmed?" he demanded. "What can you do? Save Dale? Just the three of us?"

Nerys's eyes flickered, and the wind blew her short hair. She had considered this question before. She said, "Just confirm the location."

Of course she knew that with just the three of them, it would be difficult to save Dai'er, or even determine her location.

Eddie had been in Sansongta for quite some time. Besides Fei Yi, he knew Nerys to some extent. He relaxed a little: "How sure are you that..."

"I didn't expect you to hide this from Xiao Hui?" Fei Yi suddenly interrupted Eddie. She concealed her probing intentions and took a half step forward, standing in front of Eddie. "You specifically chose the time when she was asleep."

"She...she is different from us." Nerys replied with her head down.

In fact, there is nothing different about the people who come to Samsongta, it’s just that everyone has different feelings.

Fei Yi took a few steps forward and put her arm around her shoulder. "Are you scared?"

Afraid of seeing someone die like "her" again.

Fei Yi patted her shoulder and glanced at Nairis: "You are still as timid as before."

Nerys pursed her lips and said nothing.

Fei Yi stepped back in front of Eddie and said simply, "Lead the way."

She followed Nerys, knowing Eddie was watching her from behind.

Eddie was behind the two girls, trying to keep the back safe.

Children who are seriously ill will be taken away for drug trials, which has nothing to do with them. But they live in Sangsongta, and no one can guarantee that Fei Yi will not suddenly fall ill. If she falls ill, will she have the same fate?

Eddie didn't dare to gamble.

He had seen too many children in Sangsong Tower die by jumping off the tower, and Fei Yi must not be one of them.

The night on the island was a little cool, interweaving through the hair of the three children.

Nerys held onto the vines wrapped around the oak tree. She didn't let go and turned back: "This is it, there's no mistake."

"That's where Sister Clover was talking about."

On St. Fagus Island, only the west side has clusters of oak forests.

Fei Yi and the others looked up and observed their surroundings. The tall oak forest in front of them almost covered the entire sky, with only a little light coming through the gaps.

Eddie walked in front of them and said, "Let's go."

He took the oil lamp lit by Nerys, and the orange-red light dispelled the darkness in front of his eyes.

There was no way around it. The oil lamps in each dormitory were strictly controlled, and they could only take out one.

Passing through the towering oak forest, the three children paused briefly at the entrance of the cave cautiously and then walked inside with determination.

The cave was pitch black, and the scattered wind blew in, leaving only a few traces.

Deep in the cave, which they had not yet explored, a woman in a long robe was looking up at something, motionless.

Damp vapor lingered around the pinpricks of light at her fingertips.

Suddenly, a dense rustling sound was heard in the silence. The woman in the long robe moved her fingertips quickly, and a white light quickly went into the depths of the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the teleportation array under his feet was activated. As the white light penetrated into something at an extremely fast speed, the magic array in the palm of his hand continued to expand and attacked the darkness.

A reptile with fifteen claws finally appeared, but in an instant, the magic circle produced countless silk threads that intertwined and entangled the reptile, strangling it in an instant.

"Snap! Snap!"

Blood exploded all around, especially noticeable in the quiet depths.

The robed woman quickly deployed a magic circle in front of her, blocking the blood of the reptiles that splashed on her side.

The magic circle on the palm of his hand had not been retracted yet. The white silk thread seemed to be stained with a little dark red, and it kept probing into the blood that exploded from the reptile, and then quickly retracted.

Without the magical light, the cave suddenly became dark.

"No." The woman in the robe muttered to herself with her head down.

She looked deeper into the cave, and even the walls seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance.

She stretched out her hand, and the white threads at her fingertips shot into the darkness.

It didn't take long before he could sense the magic power disappearing from within.

No detection? Why?

The woman in the robe frowned slightly under her hood. It was clearly here, why couldn't she find it?

Her sight swept through the darkness inch by inch, and she was about to go deeper when she suddenly sensed something. Her eyebrows twitched and she looked back at the place she had walked past.

Without much hesitation, he disappeared on the spot.

There was only a little orange-red light flickering back and forth in the entire cave.

Eddie picked up the oil lamp and looked up, and saw small black gravel mixed in.

The soil beneath their feet was soft, so the three of them had to move forward carefully.

Eddie signaled the two girls not to stay too far away from him, and he kept an eye on the movements of the two people behind him.

There was silence all around, with only the soft sound of their feet stepping on the ground.

The light can only reach a small area, and it is still pitch black outside the light.

Fei Yi put away her usual casualness and vigilantly observed the dangers that might emerge in the darkness.

Even though she was interested in the devil, she didn't want to joke with Eddie's life.

Suddenly, the road forked ahead, and the light of the oil lamp went back and forth between the two roads. Eddie looked behind him.

Nerys hesitated for a moment, pointed to the left, and saw another hand stretched out in her peripheral vision. She looked over and saw Fei Yi also pointing to the left.

Eddie had no objection and walked to the left.

The road became narrower and narrower, and the darkness ahead seemed to have no end, like cold snakes crawling up their spines. They tried their best to control the chill on their backs so that it would not affect themselves.

The orange-red light stopped flickering, and Eddie suddenly stopped. He turned around and whispered seriously to the two girls, "Whether we find it or not, we have to go back before the oil lamp burns out."

Nerys and the other girl nodded. With their agreement, Eddie's eyes swept over them, lingered briefly on Fei Yi, then turned away as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

Fei Yi's eyes fell on his back, the darkness hiding her expression.

She knew what Eddie was thinking, that he was just scared.

She withdrew her gaze from him.

It was dark ahead for some reason, but the cave walls around me were flashing with tiny white lights.

Eddie paused, and Feiyi and Nerys obviously noticed it. The two girls looked at each other and motioned Eddie, who turned around, to continue moving forward.

There was humid moisture in their breath, and the three of them looked curiously at the light coming from the cave, which was very similar to the ordinary dirt roads on St. Fagus Island.

"How long will it take?" Fei Yi asked softly.

She glanced at the oil lamp in Eddie's hand, which was almost half burned out.

Nerys suppressed the uneasiness caused by the darkness ahead and stopped.

Eddie and the other man couldn't help but stop and look at her.

She slightly relaxed her hands that had been tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and a white light flashed in her pupils: "Let's stop here for today. The oil lamps from now on will be enough for us to go back."

Fei Yi stared at her, not knowing what she was thinking. She said, "Nothing is confirmed yet."

Nerys lowered her head: "I know."

But they only had one oil lamp, and she asked the two men to bring her out. Coming here together was dangerous enough.

Do not add any additional factors that may cause danger.

Fei Yi and Eddie looked at each other. They also understood that Nerys's decision was safe. No one could be sure what would happen when the oil lamp burned out on the way back.

The night is ominous.

Eddie nodded: "Okay, then we..."

The soil on the ground suddenly became softer, and the three people's legs couldn't help but sink into it. They were startled and hurried to steady themselves.

Eddie quickly looked towards Fei Yi, trying to make sure she was safe.

The two of them just stared at each other, and the three of them had no time to make any other decision.

The soft soil under my feet suddenly collapsed!

Eddie's face was instantly filled with horror, and he reached out and grabbed Fei Yi tightly.

The three of them fell downward at an extremely fast speed, leaving only their calls for each other as they disappeared into the bottomless darkness along with their figures.
