Floating Island
Vanity, turbid foam, all the particles covering the clear sky slowly sink until they combine with the soil here and give birth to corrupt trees again.
Xu Ning is the overall person in charge of this group of "trainees" and is in charge of the training base below the third floor.
Yuan Yi would come and sit with her every time he came back from outside. They were both old people who had served Fudao for many years. When he came in, Xu Ning was getting an injection.
He casually placed his coat on the back of the sofa, "Didn't you say you would exercise restraint?"
Xu Ning lay on the sofa and looked up at him lazily, "Forget it, life is short, why bother with so much."
She didn't get infected with this stuff on purpose, and it was Yuan Yi's fault.
One time, someone Yuan Yi brought in was suspicious, perhaps mentally ill or otherwise. After a full meal, he rushed forward, knife and fork clutched, and stabbed Xu Ning. Her abdomen and arms were lacerated with large gashes. The island's medical equipment was undergoing maintenance, and there was no anesthetic available. Seeing the pain, Yuan Yi injected her with a drug he'd brought in, intending to alleviate her pain. However, Xu Ning became addicted.
Over the years, he has been hinting at her to quit these things, intentionally or unintentionally, but she could never persist for long, and it would be even more impossible for her to quit if she continued to procrastinate.
Xu Ning heard that no one had spoken, so she motioned for the waiter to leave. She sat up and asked, "Isn't there something wrong with this group of people?"
Yuan Yi felt a little annoyed when he mentioned this, "Yes, we caught one and he is now in the torture room." He had specially gone to see it before coming here. The man was almost beaten to death and had not uttered anything useful. He kept saying "I was wronged". Everyone who entered the torture room said this.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Ning saw that the liquid in the IV was running low and pulled out the needle. "Report it or..."
Report it? If he reported it, all these people would die, and he might even be punished. Why report it?
Yuan Yi glanced at her sideways and didn't answer directly, "There's one here that I particularly like."
"who?"
"Number 702."
After listening, Xu Ning picked up the number information on the table and slowly read out his name, "Jiang Li?
"Hmm." Yuan Yi pulled a cigar from his pocket and lit it. "I was very impressed by him. I gave him my business card before he graduated from high school. He refused it very bluntly at the time. I thought he wouldn't be fooled..." The smoke ring froze in the air. He exhaled and smiled. "In the end, he came. It turns out that no one can resist the temptation of money."
Xu Ning casually flipped through his information and threw it on the table. "So are you going to keep it for yourself or..."
"What a pity." Yuan Yi suddenly sighed, "What a pity I can't keep him."
"Are you leaving?"
"Yeah." Yuan Yi said, "Kill that guy, and I'll complete this deal and retire."
Xu Ning pointed jokingly, "Do you want to go up there?"
Above? Third floor?
Yuan Yi snorted and laughed. "The third floor and above are for powerful people. The higher the level, the greater the power. How can a villain like me be worthy of it?"
Xu Ning said nothing more, "I wish you freedom."
Yuan Yi's face was filled with a relaxed smile. "Then I won't stay any longer." The tiger head in his hand was polished to a shine. He turned around and said, "By the way, please help me look after Xiao Liu. There are many things he doesn't understand."
Xu Ning said, "You are so focused that someone who doesn't know would think Liu Quan is your son."
Yuan Yi faced her teasing with a smile, then limped away with his cane.
They were numbered.
It's like stamping a pig for slaughter.
Qu Mengting rubbed the red marks on her hands. "What should I do if this thing can't be removed?"
This was the women's bathhouse. She rubbed it hard in front of the mirror for a long time, but it was no use. The thought of this red mark following her for the rest of her life made her want to cry. Damn, I should have known not to come here.
There was a knock at the door, and she knew who it was. She looked around and knocked three times in return.
There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this place, even in the bathroom, except for this abandoned bathhouse.
Today was their first day on the island and Xu Ning's attitude towards them was quite good. He had someone show them the dormitory and then let them move freely. This was both freedom and a warning. A few people who wanted to take the opportunity to escape knew from the balcony that within their sight were large tracts of woods and mercenaries patrolling with guns. Looking into the distance, there was only the vast ocean, with no ships in sight and no direction.
Jiang Li walked in and saw that she was still rubbing the red mark, so he reminded her, "You can wash it off, don't worry."
Qu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them turned to business.
Jiang Li said, "Your mission is to hold out until they reach the island, and then escape."
Qu Mengting thought for a moment and asked, "What about you?"
Jiang Li said, "I want to look up, it's dangerous, don't follow me."
Qu Mengting paused and said firmly: "No, I'll go with you."
Jiang Li took a breath and looked at her determined eyes. If he insisted on refusing her participation, he would have to look for Qu Mengting if she ran away, which would be troublesome.
"Then help me find someone."
Qu Mengting's eyes lit up, and she felt a sense of responsibility that God had given her a great mission.
"Xu Qiuqiu, a junior high school student, won't be too tall."
"good!"
Qu Mengting is full of energy, as if she has turned into a detective.
Jiang Li saw that she was in a bad mood and warned her, "Don't be reckless. Put yourself first. Don't try to be heroic like you see in novels. Start by getting information first..."
Before he could finish his words, Qu Mengting interrupted him, "Oh, I know. I've seen a lot of crime movies. Leave it to me!"
"I just finished..."
Qu Mengting reacted quickly and immediately changed her words, posing and saying, "No, a documentary."
He felt a bit of a headache.
After saying goodbye to Qu Mengting, Jiang Li walked alone on the way back to the dormitory. The tiles of the castle were magnificent, and the intricate patterns carved were lifelike. Stepping on them gave him a feeling of luxury and extravagance.
He was thinking as he walked.
He had to admit that he had just received some bad news: the tracking had failed.
Time goes back to the moment when Zhao Yan was sitting on the ground crying. Jiang Li was surprised to find that the "sizzling" sound in his ears had not appeared for a long time.
When is it?
Was it when everyone was gathered at the table to eat, or when they entered the forest of the castle, or even earlier, when the gate closed?
Before coming, Chen An repeatedly reminded him not to relax and not to miss any sign of trouble, but when the actual combat came, he still got himself lost in confusion.
The failure of the tracker and the training time given by Xu Ning are both life-threatening.
Although he could also sit and wait for Chen An and the others to arrive, waiting passively has never been his personality. Besides, he has to ensure that the secrets of this island are not destroyed. He has to get their criminal evidence, take it out, and completely smash this industrial chain.
The idea is beautiful, but the action is constrained.
Now he had nothing, no recorder, no tracker, and perhaps he would have to smuggle weapons from somewhere. However, Jiang Li would never be intimidated by such difficulties, after all, he had fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Other sounds were mixed into the single sound of footsteps, "dong, dong, dong" one after another.
Only one person has such a voice.
The next second, Yuan Yi appeared in front of him.
He seemed very surprised to see him. He didn't call him by his number, but by his name, "Jiang Li."
He didn't know what the old man was up to, so he could only pretend.
"Mr. Yuan."
He had heard the mercenaries call it that.
Yuan Yi was very satisfied with his address and walked towards him casually.
He was much taller than Yuan Yi, and Yuan Yi also noticed this slightly embarrassing gap and stopped moving forward.
Yuan Yi glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner and smiled slightly, "Would you like to have a cup of tea in my tea room?"
Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay."
Yuan Yi's tea room is simply furnished. Apart from tea sets and sofas, there are no other ornaments.
He stared at the face that became happier and happier, and in his heart he let him look around here.
"Tea."
Jiang Li took it, but didn't dare to drink it, so he found an excuse to let it cool down.
"What's the matter, Mr. Yuan?"
Yuan Yi calculated the time and said straight to the point: "I'm going to leave the island. Do you want to come with me?"
A few minutes later, Jiang Li followed his preferred look and asked with lowered eyebrows, "Mr. Yuan, are you going to take me away?"
"Why, you don't want to leave?" Yuan Yi crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking confident. "What do you want? Money? I can give you a lot of money, no less than what you get here."
"And more importantly, you don't have to use your beauty to please others."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Li felt nauseous, but pretended to be afraid and knocked over the teacup, and the tea covered half of the table.
"Don't worry. I won't leave the island until the next two days. You can give it some more time to think about it." Yuan Yi's gaze shifted from his face to his bony hands, which hung naturally between his knees, their fingertips drenched in tea. He had seen countless erotic scenes, but none could compare to the sensation of these tea-soaked hands. Unconsciously, his breathing grew heavy, and the scenes of his fantasies filled his mind.
Finally, he decided to indulge his desire. He sat up straight and, imitating Jiang Li, placed his no longer delicate hands on the tea table. "I'm done. If you're not feeling well these few days, you can come find me. I'm always available."
Jiang Li closed his eyes and endured the extreme nausea.
He had seen such scenes in many places. How did he deal with it at that time? Oh, he stepped on them and stared coldly at the red liquid flowing out of their bodies.
He swore he had tried his best to restrain himself.
Yuan Yi's hand was about to touch him.
Jiang Li suddenly leaned back on the sofa, a smile on her lips, and looked at him calmly. In his eyes, she looked like a beauty ready to be slaughtered.
This was tantamount to an invitation for Yuan Yi, and the human form he tried so hard to restrain revealed his animal nature.
He stood up and tried to pounce on him. Jiang Li stood up, raised his leg and kicked him in the lower abdomen. The man was in so much pain that he couldn't even scream. He just bent over and was about to fall to the ground, "...you..."
Jiang Li's eyes were full of disgust. With his hands in his pockets, he stepped on his neck without hesitation, and then kept pushing harder and harder.
The excitement in his eyes grew with every bit of strength he exerted, until his entire face turned the color of liver. Just before he felt he was about to die, he lifted his legs and watched him struggle with great interest.
The greasy man who had spoken so arrogantly in front of him just now was now crawling out in a very embarrassed manner.
Jiang Li took his hand out of his pocket and stroked the teacup with one hand. Suddenly, the intact cup fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.
He squatted down, picked up a piece that suited him at random, covered his mouth with one hand, and cut a fierce incision on his neck with the other.
The man whimpered in pain and waited for a while, like a chicken or duck with its neck wiped off, he did not resist.
Jiang Li threw the fragments on the ground, poured a cup of tea, walked to him, slowly poured it down, and said word by word: "Please have some tea."
