Barrage:

【It appears, choose one of the three classics. 】

[It's time to choose one of the three again. 】

[The scheming frog keeps touching your belly! ]

[The murderer is...]

【Where did the murderer come from? 】

[Oh, let me know, the next person who needs to be tortured is...]

The three cat whisperers seemed to have three choices to make, but in fact they had no choice.

The barbecue stall owner’s son was ruled out first.

Something happened just tonight. A child brought by tourists was possessed by an unknown monster on Haining Island. Under the premise that "monsters may possess children", if they were parents, they would not feel at ease letting their children go out.

Although children are easier to deceive and more likely to trust others, the barbecue restaurant owner’s son will most likely not leave home in the next two days.

In the temporary group chat, Guan Hongyan was the first to speak: [The barbecue restaurant owner's child is not good enough, he will definitely not be left alone in the next few days. ]

Children were eliminated as an option, and the next one to be eliminated was nurses.

[The nurse is not a good candidate either,] Yun Guang ruled out another possibility, [She lives with other colleagues and has someone to go with her on her way to and from work.]

He and Lu Changfeng followed the nurses who were called out to work in the middle of the night all the way home. They were prepared to go their separate ways, but when they followed them all the way downstairs in the community, they realized that these nurses lived together in a shared apartment.

As they are roommates and colleagues, their actions are bound to be highly coordinated, and it is difficult to find a time when the nurse is left alone.

[Then the only one left is... Li Ge's mother? ] Wu Meng bit her lower lip in embarrassment, [I remember... his mother was very difficult to deal with. ]

Li Ge rarely mentioned his mother to them, and the two times he did, he did not leave them with the impression that he was an easy person to talk to.

For example, when Li Ge was a child, she refused to teach him cat language... and she locked him up at home and didn't allow him to go to work at the Cat Academy... It sounded like a stubborn mother who didn't want her child to be involved in these things.

It is harder than climbing to the sky to get an answer from such a person.

[Why are all three options so difficult?] Fang Xiang wailed in the group chat, [Why don’t we just choose the child? The child can probably be bribed with some delicious food. Let’s steal the child from home—]

[The yard is so small, you didn’t know your child was missing,] Wu Meng said speechlessly, [Don’t go to jail for child trafficking, or we’ll have to rescue you.]

The small yard on Haining Island is very small, and one can see at a glance where the child has gone. It is hard to say whether the child can be found after being stolen out, but child trafficking is a real crime.

Fang Xiang shut up in dismay.

[Then I'll let the nurse do it,] Yu Changlin added silently, [We can find someone to pretend to be sick and intercept her on her way to work, and then we can find a chance to ask her.]

[You wish...] Tong Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and twitched her lips, [It is highly likely that medical staff will not help patients on the roadside after work, otherwise there will be medical disputes.]

Who would save a passerby on the roadside after get off work? Haven’t they been blackmailed enough?

When she was assigned tasks on her first day here, she mentioned that she had studied nursing. All the practitioners said so, and Yu Changlin was at a loss.

[Your folk customs are so unsophisticated?] Yu Changlin shut up silently, [Forget it, it's embarrassing to lie on the ground and have a seizure and no one comes to save me.]

[The first two are all passed, is it easy to get Li Ge's mother? ] Guan Hongyan complained, [How about we choose a lucky audience member to kidnap, let's roll the dice? ]

What about playing the good cop and the bad cop, get out of the way, show filial piety under the stick... No, give the answer, in the face of absolute military power, everything is a paper tiger.

After all, they still have a lawless cult saint here. When the time comes, they will take his tetanus blade and make remarks about chopping off hands and feet, and even the most stubborn person will be forced to open his mouth.

[Red geese...] Yun Guang held his forehead with his hand, [It hasn't come to that.]

The people in this unknown space haven't done anything particularly evil, so it's a bit too much to use this method to force a confession.

[So what do you think we should do?] Guan Hongyan shrugged, [We have to choose one of these three people, right?]

At this moment, a line slowly appeared in the group chat: [Du Zhong’s voice: Brother Li’s mother. ]

Guan Hongyan:?

She tilted her head to look at Bai Jinshu beside her: [Why? ]

【Du Zhongsheng: Li Ge’s mother.】

He separated the word and said it again as if to mark the key point: [Aren’t we supposed to play the good cop and the bad cop? Have you forgotten Brother Li?]

[How could I possibly forget this?] His tone, as if he was talking to a fool, made Guan Hongyan roll her eyes in dissatisfaction, [But…but this is not any more moral than me using force to intimidate others, right?!]

What else could a mother's weakness be other than her children?

But what is the difference between attacking Li Ge and attacking Li Ge's mother? Does kidnapping Lucky and using coercion and bribery also require respecting the elderly and loving the young?

Or is it that Li Ge, a grown man, is in much better physical condition than his mother, so he feels less guilty about using force to coerce her?

After several seconds, Yun Guang sent a string of ellipsis in the group.

[Yun Guang: …]

[Yun Guang: Hongyan, Brother Li has not yet recovered his memory, so even if we use threats, inducements, or torture, it will be useless.]

Now it's Guan Hongyan's turn.

【Guan Hongyan: What does that mean? 】

[Oh, I understand,] Fang Xiang said impatiently, [Brother Du means that we kidnap Brother Li and force him to tell us the secrets here.]

Bai Jinshu:?

He didn't mean that.

[Oh, I understand, too.] Wu Meng quickly responded, [If you want to kidnap me, I can participate!]

Guan Hongyan patted her shoulders a few times with appreciation.

[I can do it too,] Yu Changlin quickly responded.

[Then I...] Tong Yao thought for a moment, [I lead Xiao Zhou and the others away?]

The four of them chatted with each other and almost arranged the work, fearing that they would be left behind.

There was no way. At this point, it meant that the rules of this unknown space had been explored completely. They had not contributed much in the whole process. If they did not want to waste this rare time exploring with the big guys, they had to show their performance quickly before leaving.

No matter what you show, just show it. If you can make these high-end players remember you and give them some benefits through their fingers, that would be the best. If not, it would also be good to leave the audience with the impression that you are a potential player.

Maybe I can get angel investment because of this in the future?

The four people seemed to be putting in their best efforts, wanting to show off before leaving this copy. Before anyone could say a word, they had already arranged the entire kidnapping process one after another. They were just waiting for Yun Guang or Guan Hongyan to give the order, and then they would immediately bring Li Ge over for interrogation.

[You guys better not understand it yet,] The discussion in the group was in full swing, Yun Guang held his forehead slightly, [White face, do you know what white face is? ]

If you directly kidnap Li Ge to force his mother, then you are not a good person.

[What?] Guan Hongyan was shocked, [Are we still planning to play the villain now?]

Yun Guang really wanted to sigh now. Fortunately, before he sighed, someone in the group had already responded to Guan Hongyan's words -

[Du Zhongsheng: Guess why the people in Haining Island are on such a tight defense? ]

[Why else? To keep it secret.] Guan Hongyan answered very quickly.

[Wrong,] Bai Jinshu glanced at her calmly, [Because, the times have become more developed.]

Barrage:

[The times have developed? What does that mean? ]

[I don’t seem to understand either.]

[I seem to understand a little bit. As the times have developed, the way of information transmission has also changed.]

[A long time ago, Haining Island was probably just a small island far from the mainland. There were only a few fishermen on the island. All the daily necessities here had to be transported from the outside world. It was definitely impossible for them to be completely disconnected from the outside world.]

[There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and not everyone is a fool. As long as outsiders enter here, their secrets will definitely be exposed one day. In this unknown space, the two travelers who have discovered something wrong are the rich second generation Ran Ran and the radio host. There is no reason why no one else would have discovered it hundreds of years ago.]

[The radio host has even received letters from fans, which means that these people will definitely post these strange things. So if any of the tourists here post these things...]

[Oh, that's it, I think I understand, they are afraid of being exposed? ]

[Yes, the secret of Haining Island has not been exposed not because they did a good job of keeping it secret, but because there is a special rule here that once you leave here, you will lose the memory of the secret. Once these fishermen leave the island, they will forget about the content here, and the people who go to the island to deliver supplies will also forget the unusualness of this place after leaving. This is the real reason why they can keep the secret until now. ]

[So times have changed, meaning the Internet? ]

[Yes, before the development of the Internet, even if people who entered Haining Island discovered the problems here, they would not leave with the secrets. From the moment they left the land of Haining Island, the memories that should not be left in their minds would be cleared. But who could have thought that technology would change life... In short, times have changed, sir.]

[You wake up. This is an era where everyone has a smartphone. If you find something strange, most people will post it online and expose it. They won’t hold it in until they leave here without saying a word.]

【That’s terrible.】

【That’s fucked up.】

【That’s very advanced. 】

In the unknown space, Guan Hongyan scratched her head: [So what is the relationship between this and Brother Li? ]

[Account, Sister Yan,] Lu Changfeng reminded, [Brother Li has an account, have you forgotten it?]

Yes.

Everyone suddenly understood.
