Chapter 113 Blue Tea Island 7
Bai Gu was very white when she was young.
Her skin color was in stark contrast to that of people who had lived on the island all year round, and the contrast was particularly strong when she was held down by hands.
Black hands pinned her to the ground.
Black hands bound her.
Black hands grabbed her ankles and dragged her back.
Amidst the black and white, a third color appeared. Blood flowed out from under her body, dyeing the road red.
This is what the psychic saw when he communicated with Bai Gu for the second time.
Several people were a little surprised when they heard it.
In their eyes, Bai Gu was almost the most prestigious person on the island. Needless to say, those people who were redeeming their sins in the north of the island were blindly following her, and the people in the village were the same, treating her as a witch, and always asking her to sit in the main seat when their children got married.
Unexpectedly, she had such an experience, and in her soul, it was probably an experience that made her feel heartbroken or hateful.
Jiang Yitong said: "She doesn't look like she is from this island. Could she have been trafficked here? In our world, many girls were trafficked to remote mountains. It is difficult for them to escape. It would be even more difficult for her to escape if she was trafficked to this island."
After being abducted, many women find it very difficult to escape. On the one hand, it is because the villagers in the mountains are in collusion with each other. On the other hand, it is because of the terrain. There are mountains one after another, and the endless despair can be felt even when standing on the top of the mountain.
Blue Tea Island is even more desperate.
There are no continuous mountains, but there is an endless sea. People are more afraid of the sea than the mountains, and it is much easier to walk into the mountains than to jump into the sea.
"But if she was an outsider, why would the locals be so in awe of her?" Jiang Qingfeng analyzed: "The islanders are so in awe of her because of Bai Haixian. They think she is a messenger of God. Bai Haixian is obviously a local god. If she is not a well-known person in the local area, how could she be considered a messenger of God?"
Xia Bai had always been curious about the question, so he asked it at this moment, "The White Sea Fairy is black, so why is it called the White Sea Fairy? I think it's more appropriate to call him the Black Sea God."
Psychic: “…”
"Why do you have so many weird, irrelevant questions?"
Xia Bai was confused. "What's so strange about this? Isn't this a very normal and obvious problem?"
Psychic: "Because the woman's name is Baigu, not Heigu?"
Xia Bai: “…”
Jiang Qingfeng wanted to speak for his son. When he was thinking about what to say, he suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of this question, I thought of another immortal. Have you heard of Bai Daxian, also known as Baixian?"
After the spiritual communication, Ling Changye said, "One of the five great immortals, Baimen Baixian?"
Jiang Qingfeng glanced at him and nodded. "The prototype of Baixian is a hedgehog. Some people are curious about why the hedgehog is a Baixian. At the same time, in this legend, the hedgehog is transformed into an old lady who is revered and worshipped by people."
He was not telling an unrelated legend. "Bai Haixian and Bai Daxian only differ by one character in their names. Bai Xian has an incarnation, Old Lady Bai, and Bai Haixian has a Bai Gu. At the same time, the statue of Bai Haixian is covered with needles, which also looks like the needles of the hedgehog, the prototype of Bai Xian. Do you think there is any connection between the two?"
Xia Bai gave Jiang Qingfeng a thumbs up, "Dad is awesome, you were the one who suggested the Crying Wedding and this statue."
When he first saw the spines, he thought of sea urchins.
He thought they were sea urchin spines growing in his eyes, and he seriously wondered what those eyes meant.
I had some negative suspicions about Bai Gu and the organization behind her, thinking there were cameras and video recorders inside.
When others confessed to the statue and talked about the sinful things they had done, everything was filmed and used to deal with those who were disobedient, forcing them to work for Bai Gu.
Jiang Qingfeng's mouth corners immediately reached his ears, and he was so happy that he wanted to tell the world.
He said modestly: "I didn't do anything. It's up to you to get through customs. I'm glad I can help you."
"If that's the case," Jiang Yitong said, "Does that mean that Bai Gu might be from a place where people believe in immortals, and is definitely not a native of Blue Tea Island?"
Xia Bai nodded, "That may be the case."
After two days, Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Yitong adapted to the game and were no longer clumsy. They were smart people and began to get into the game state.
"Then she may indeed have been trafficked here. She was originally the oppressed party. Later, she used her family fairy Baimen to create the so-called Baihaixian and ruled this island in turn." Jiang Yitong sighed: "If this is true, she is so powerful."
really.
If this is true, Bai Gu is a woman with her own cool storyline. From a trafficked girl to a woman who rules the island.
But if that's the case, why does she treat other women like this, forcing them to marry messy men in the name of atonement? That should be what she hates the most.
Jiang Yitong: "There is a rather negative speculation about her, maybe because she herself has been caught in the rain, she wants to tear up other people's umbrellas."
I can't think of any other possibilities for now.
Xia Bai felt more and more that the psychic's skills were very useful. If it were in the past, they might have to go through a lot of investigations and only know the experiences and stories of such key game characters in the later stages of the game. But with the psychic skills, they could know it after one or two times.
His skills are simply a bug for completing the game, especially the normal game maps where you are searching for the truth.
No wonder he could become the second player in the points ranking. In a sense, he was the only one among the top three players who reached the top entirely by his own ability.
At least Erwa...Erwa is also working hard to grow into a little hero!
Ling Changye said: "Let's go back first and wait for them to come back to see what news they have found out."
Xia Bai nodded, "Let's go clean Yan Quan and Fang Xiaofeng's rooms first."
Ling Changye told Medusa and the others that they would move to Yan Quan and the others' room tonight. Xia Bai was very happy, and Jiang Qingfeng and Jiang Yitong were even happier.
The two didn't mind that it was a haunted house, but after all, two people had died there and so much blood had been shed, so it definitely had to be cleaned properly.
Jiang Yitong and Jiang Qingfeng did not let Xia Bai do this. Jiang Qingfeng borrowed a bucket and a rag from the islanders on the way and cleaned up for Xia Bai as soon as he returned.
Xia Bai originally wanted to clean up his bodies, but was persuaded by Ling Changye.
Seeing the two of them happily mopping the floor and making the bed for them, Xia Bai understood why Ling Changye wanted to stop him and let his parents do it.
They really wanted to do this for him and were very happy to do something for him to make up for their absence for so long.
While cleaning the room, Ling Changye shared with them the information he had received through spiritual communication that day.
"Bai Gu is definitely not from Blue Tea Island. When I communicated with her through spiritualism, I saw that she was holding the college entrance examination papers. There is no high school on Blue Tea Island." Ling Changye said, "She was holding the college entrance examination papers, standing at an intersection, waiting for someone, and she waited until dark."
In that scene, Bai Gu was wearing a sky blue school uniform and a high ponytail, looking pure and beautiful.
She looked up happily, the sunlight filtered through the green leaves, falling on her fair face, her eyelashes were stained with light, and her eyes were bright, reflecting the joy that quietly emerged in the girl's heart, and also showing a girl's infinite future.
But the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
The light replaced the sunlight, illuminating a lonely figure beside her.
The person she was waiting for did not come.
Xia Bai: "Why did this scene appear in her soul? It seems like nothing."
Ling Changye: "What can be in the soul is either extremely precious and warm, or the most tragic and desperate. This fragment may be connected to another thing that makes her extremely emotional."
"Let's not talk about what's behind this incident." Jiang Qingfeng said: "What keeps many high school seniors going is getting into college. After so many years of hard work, whether she was abducted here before taking the college entrance exam or after getting into college, it's already despair enough."
Xia Bai: "In the scene the psychic saw, Bai Gu was very young."
Maybe she was abducted here around the time of college.
Jiang Qingfeng, who was playing the game for the first time, sighed. Ling Changye was not moved and continued to talk about his psychic discoveries.
"I channeled the spirits of other people in the north of the island, and all I saw were tragic things."
"In the soul of a mentally retarded person, I saw him abandoned in the snow by his parents."
"In a disabled soul, he was seen tied to the sofa by his wife, probably for a long time, and the sofa was covered in his feces, while his wife was in the master bedroom with another man."
"In the soul of a beautiful woman, seeing her as a child being pushed into a room with men by her father."
When they first entered the school in the north of the island, they saw many people who looked miserable, but their soul experiences were even worse than they looked.
Their misery is not only in the experiences of their souls. Generally, one may not see what he wants to see when he communicates with spirits once. The things that make up the soul and life are too complicated. Yet, they were all shown misery at once.
There may be nothing warm and beautiful in their souls, which means there is nothing warm and beautiful in their lives.
So, they firmly believe that there is sin in them, right?
Life is so bitter, there must be some reason, there must be some hope for the afterlife, otherwise how can they survive such a bitter life?
While listening to Ling Changye's stories, they cleaned up the blood and stains in the room. When the haunted room became a warm room, other players also came back one after another.
They summarized the information they had obtained in the open space between the three seaweed houses.
Yu Yin's skills are indeed useful for getting information. According to Medusa, they are especially useful for men, and the information she gets is the most effective.
"I heard from an older brother that there was indeed a woman who committed suicide by slitting her wrists on Blue Tea Island. She did it quietly on a boat outside a seaweed house at night, so when others found her, her blood had already dried up."
She didn't expect that she would get such crucial information the first time she went to the village to inquire.
This woman fit the profile of the possible protagonist they had envisioned.
Ling Changye asked: "Have you heard anything else about this woman?"
"Yes!" Yu Yin nodded, actively performing in front of Ling Changye, looking into his eyes obediently, and said softly: "Didn't you say that if there is such a person, we should ask more about her experience? I have kept it in mind."
Psychic: “……?”
Medusa rolled her eyes.
Ling Changye didn't respond, but just laughed with an ambiguous tone.
This face was much gentler than the psychic's. Yu Yin still didn't dare to act rashly. She didn't get any response, so she spoke quickly.
"This woman's name is Lu Kong. I heard she had some mental problems. She was often beaten by the men in her family and she didn't like to talk. Her family often went fishing. They had just bought a new boat from this eldest brother's family. Lu Kong took advantage of the family not paying attention and committed suicide by cutting her wrists on the boat."
Yu Yin said: "I heard that on the day she died, she kept repeating one sentence: let me go."
The more I listened, the more this woman sounded like the protagonist.
Jiang Qingfeng said: "She said she was allowed to leave, but she was abducted to this Blue Tea Island, right? The boat should be her only hope to leave. She committed suicide on the boat in her madness. Maybe she thought she died on the boat, and when the boat went to sea, it would take her soul away from this place."
Maybe it’s because he is a painter and is good at capturing subtle details, and he has a very delicate understanding of the characters’ inner thoughts.
Yu Yin: “Also?”
Ling Changye said: "We got some information and guessed that Bai Gu might have been abducted to Blue Tea Island."
This must be what he saw through spiritualism, Medusa and Yu Yin thought at the same time.
Ling Changye asked: "Did you find out what kind of injuries Lu Kong suffered?"
Yu Yin: "She's a little crazy. She must have been hurt a lot. And when she's crazy, she's more likely to be bullied. From the tone of that eldest brother, I feel like they don't take her seriously."
I didn't find out the exact damage.
Ling Changye shifted his gaze from her to Medusa.
Medusa actually didn't get any news, but under Yu Yin's gaze, she didn't want to say nothing, so she told the only news she got, which might not be of any use, "The couple who got married yesterday, the groom is not only old, but also has a son."
"They may have had a quarrel. I heard the bride crying tonight and told the groom to trust her. She would definitely treat his son as her own son."
Yu Yin covered her mouth and laughed, then glanced at Ling Changye and said, "What's the use of this news? Sister, you really have never been good at asking for news."
The long snake on Medusa's head stood up, "Shut up! Will you die if you don't say a few words of green tea?"
Yu Yin lowered her head in grievance, "No matter what I do or say, my sister will say I'm a green tea."
“…”
Ling Changye looked at the psychic.
Psychic: “…”
What are you looking at him for!
Ling Changye asked the others, "Did you get any news?"
A man with a beer belly raised his hand and said, "I went to ask the islanders where the statue of the deity was. An older woman enthusiastically took me there. On the way, the older woman told me to repent and atone for my sins. I thought she was easy to talk to, so I pretended to be puzzled and asked her if atonement would really work."
"My eldest sister said yes. She redeemed herself well and now she is protected by Bai Haixian and lives a very contented life."
He weakly expressed his thoughts, "I used to think that atonement was nonsense, but now I feel that this game is indeed about atonement. We came to this island to atone our sins. If we atone devoutly, we can live well, but if we don't atone well, we will die."
Ling Changye asked: "Have you asked that elder sister if she is a native of Blue Tea Island?"
"No." The man with a beer belly asked, "Does it matter?"
Yu Yin explained for Ling Changye, "Maybe the natives of Blue Tea Island are living well. Aren't the jobs we did today for them? People from outside were tricked here to serve them and make all kinds of contributions for them, so of course they are living well."
The man with a beer belly suddenly realized: "I know where she lives. I'll go ask her tomorrow."
A gentle woman said: "I didn't find out anything in the village. When I was in the north of the island, I chatted with an elderly woman and found that she trusted Bai Gu very much and regarded her as a half-Buddha. I just questioned her and she ignored me."
Xia Bai said: "I felt the same way when I was chatting with a boy."
During the day, Xia Bai was assigned to pick coconuts. With him was a boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was skinny, climbed trees like a monkey, and worked very hard.
He said to the boy, "You work so hard for your Bai Gu, but she doesn't give you food? You are so thin now."
The boy immediately threw the coconut in his hand at him. If he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been knocked off the tree by the coconut.
The way the boy looked at him at that time left a deep impression on him. It was cold, yet full of anger and hatred.
Medusa said: "It's normal. When they shouted for atonement on the playground, they were so determined that they knew how successfully they were brainwashed. In their eyes, Bai Gu is probably a savior."
Others also told each other some information they had heard. Some had heard that there was a woman who died shortly after getting married here, and some had heard where Bai Gu lived in the village. The rest were small and miscellaneous information that seemed useless at the moment.
It was already very late when they finished talking, and the players, tired from the day's work, went back to their seaweed houses.
After entering Seaweed House No. 12, Yu Yin walked up to Xia Bai and said carefully, "Miss, don't mind it. I saw that your boyfriend didn't have any other intentions just now."
Xia Bai: "Ah?"
Yu Yin: "I came here specially to tell you this because I'm afraid you might think too much."
“…”
Yu Yin added: "I just want to cooperate with you to complete the game as quickly as possible. I can do whatever you want me to do."
Xia Bai glanced at Ling Changye, and Ling Changye moved a little closer.
"Really?" Xia Bai blinked. "If you die one day in the future, can you give us your body?"
“…”
Yu Yin immediately thought of what the lady confessed in the confessional: she liked corpses.
Was it because of this unique hobby that she attracted the love of two big bosses of the Holy Travel Guild?
There's really something wrong with the psychology of the men in the game, they're so perverted.
Ling Changye looked at her, intending to stand up for his girlfriend.
In fact, since she is dead, she doesn’t care what happens to the corpse. It is better to give it to her than to be taken away by the game. Maybe she will take her out because she likes corpses and treat her corpse well.
But Yu Yin was afraid that this was some kind of skill of hers, a contractual one. If she agreed, would this big boss's favorite person kill her in order to get her body as soon as possible?
But she couldn't just refuse and make the vice president unhappy, especially at such a dangerous time tonight. If they were really in danger, they still expected the vice president to save them.
After thinking about it, Yu Yin came up with an idea.
"If my death has nothing to do with you, little sister, I would certainly be willing to give my body to you, a person who loves corpses."
Xia Bai: "Don't think I'm that bad. I never kill players on my own initiative."
After saying that, he looked at Medusa again.
To be honest, he was a little jealous of Medusa's skills, which were kind of cool.
Medusa: “…”
She had the correct answer in front of her, so she just copied it. Yu Yin was only that useful.
Xia Bai said to Yu Yin in a good mood: "It's okay, you can talk to him more, especially after leaving the game. Don't be fooled by his cold appearance, he is actually quite lonely."
Otherwise, I wouldn't be blindly guessing what the president said.
Yu Yin nodded happily, but what she was thinking was, so you just took advantage of the situation? When a man is lonely, he will accept anyone who comes.
Ling Changye: “…”
After a few brief words, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Xia Bai asked Ling Changye: "Should we be careful tonight? Should we take turns to keep watch?"
Ling Changye disagreed. "We are already exhausted today. If we don't get a good night's sleep tonight, what will we do next morning when we have to endure another full day of labor reform? If it is internal punishment, we won't be able to save him even if we find out in time."
Very good, he is worthy of being the captain of the assault team who is often scolded for not helping others in need.
Xia Bai: "Then let's go to sleep, but be a little careful. If there is still as much blood as the last two times, I should be able to smell it. I am quite sensitive to the smell of blood."
Ling Changye: "Me too."
In that case, they went to sleep normally.
Xia Bai did take this matter to heart. With something on his mind, he did not sleep that deeply and woke up once in the middle of the night.
He didn't smell any blood, and just as he was about to go to sleep, he heard a slight noise.
He tiptoed to the door and looked out through the crack. He saw Lao Yang coming out of the opposite room, leaning back on the sofa, staring up at the ceiling, wondering what he was thinking.
Xia Bai stood there and watched for a while, then took a bottle of water, quietly walked to Lao Yang and handed it to him.
Lao Yang said thank you softly.
Xia Bai sat down next to him and asked him in a low voice: "Old Yang, why did you get up?"
"I agreed with your parents before that we would take turns to keep watch. It's me at this time," said Lao Yang.
Xia Bai: "We are here, you don't have to guard it."
"I know. I also know that we are not the only ones in danger tonight. I slept, but I didn't sleep well and had a nightmare." Old Yang said, "Xia Bai, I dreamed of my daughter."
Xia Bai was stunned and remained silent.
Old Yang looked at him and whispered to him, "Xia Bai, there is something I haven't told you or anyone else. I saw you at your town police station and I have to help you. There is another reason, a reason I can't refuse."
For fear of disturbing others' sleep, Lao Yang lowered his voice, which unexpectedly sounded very gentle at night, completely different from when he was scolding him.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was also very gentle, even gentler than when he was feeding the stray cat outside the restaurant. "Your eyes are very similar to my daughter's. I think both of them are round almond-shaped eyes. Very beautiful."
Seeing him like this, Xia Bai felt a little sad. He felt that Lao Yang was not as bad as he confessed in the confessional.
He was not as good as he was when he first met me, cursing with all his might.
Lao Yang was the first person to show kindness to Xia Bai when he first saw the door to the game. Because of him and Hua Haoming who came later, Xia Bai had a good impression of the Game Administration and did not feel terrified or desperate about the game from the beginning.
Just now in the room, he saw sadness in Lao Yang's figure. He wanted to comfort Lao Yang, but he didn't know how.
Knowing that Lao Yang was probably missing his daughter, he said, "Lao Yang, tell me about your daughter? Her eyes are the same as mine, but what about other parts of her body? Is she as pretty as me?"
