Chapter 73: Escape from the Deserted Island (Part 3)
The time at the dock is normal, with one boat at 9:00 a.m. and one at 3:00 p.m.
"This time is earlier than sunset."
"If it's later, won't there be no one sitting there?"
"People on the island go home to rest at sunset."
The three of them found the ticket seller and asked him.
"Oh! This afternoon's boat is for people who come here to do business. The fishing industry is well developed here. There are many big fish that are not available in other places. They taste very good. The locals rarely leave the island."
“You’re not from here?”
"Of course not. I also left by boat at 3:00 p.m. If you miss it, you will have to stay here for the night. Who would stay here at this late hour? I heard that many of the people from the outer islands who didn't leave were eaten by wild animals."
"Wild animals? We didn't see any large wild animals during our daytime stroll. Besides, if there were any large wild animals, how could we be allowed to wander around the island at will?"
"Don't disbelieve me, the ticket seller was eaten by a wild beast. When the body was found the next day, it was so badly bitten! I don't dare to live here, it's too scary."
"Then what do you think about us buying tickets to leave the island?" Ji Xu proposed an idea.
"ah?"
"Three tickets please."
"Okay, here are the tickets for the three of you."
"We're just trying to escape from a deserted island, so why don't we take a boat and have a look?"
At 15:00 in the afternoon, the three of them boarded the boat as scheduled. The boat was not big, and there were only three of them besides the ticket seller and the boat driver.
"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Sheng Zuo said from the side.
"Don't be such a phoenix."
The scenery on the sea was the same. After walking around for a long time, the familiar scenery appeared in front of the three people again. The three people returned to the deserted island and saw the familiar ticket seller again.
"It's not safe on the island at night, so don't go out after sunset. I wish you a happy time on the island."
"Hey, no, buddy, didn't we just leave together on the boat?"
"No, you guys came to the island for a trip by boat. Besides, my home is on the island.
Why should I leave with you? ”
"Well, this is telling us that it's wrong to buy a ticket to leave the island."
"You know what, I'm really into it. If it weren't for you two, I think I would really be scared!"
"Hahahaha, isn't it? There's still no news about Director Hou. Could he be out?"
Director Hou, sitting in front of the monitor, felt helpless. It was true that he was out. He was out on the first night.
Not only he was eliminated, but also two people from the other team.
"What on earth is this real-life escape room about? And my hotel and theirs are not the same one? Did you build two?"
"I can't tell you that. It's someone else's secret. It depends on whether they can find the answer."
"I feel like your answer must be ridiculous. It's amazing that the two teams didn't meet."
"Just watch it here." The director of the program did not reveal anything.
Lu Yuqi and the other two returned to the town from the dock: "Should we go to the woods again?"
"And we haven't walked around the entire island yet. We've been wandering around the town today."
"Then should we not sleep tonight and see what happens at night?"
"Didn't you sleep much last night? Did you hear any noise?" Lu Yuqi asked Sheng Zuo curiously.
"No." Sheng Zuo thought for a moment and said, "I was wearing headphones too, so I didn't hear any sound."
"Oh, it's past four in the afternoon now.
It will probably be sunset soon, so we should go back to the hotel. ”
"Then let's not go to bed too early tonight and see what happens."
"OK."
The three of them gathered in a room at night. No one knew what would happen and the lights in the room were not on. Originally Sheng Zuo wanted to turn on the light, but was stopped by Lu Yuqi and Ji Xu.
"Turning on the light just tells others that we are not resting!"
"But it's normal and there's no rest. Besides, they said don't wander around, but they didn't say don't turn on the lights."
Lu Yuqi and Ji Xu looked at each other. They were thinking the wrong thing. There was indeed no requirement that the lights must not be turned on.
"I always feel like there's some secret behind the dark sky."
"Yes, this secret still cannot be discovered by others."
Soon, midnight arrived and the lights in the room were turned off at the request of Lu Yuqi and Ji Xu.
"It feels better in the dark."
“I don’t know what your hobby is!” Sheng Zuo, the biggest one, wrapped himself in a quilt.
"I don't know what you are afraid of!"
"Look." Ji Xu, who had been looking outside, interrupted the bickering between Lu Yuqi and Sheng Zuo.
"Oh my god! What is going on?!"
There was a group of people strolling slowly outside. I couldn’t see their faces clearly, but the way they walked was very strange. The restaurants, clothing stores and other shops that were said to be closed at sunset have opened again, but the lights inside are only dim.
"Did these people mutate at night?"
"Hey, you know what, they really put their heart into their acting!"
"No, my hair is standing on end."
"Are these residents normal during the day but abnormal at night? And they say they are disguised during the day and return to normal at night?"
"So what are we going to do?"
"That is to find the secret, and then we can leave."
"This is the first time I hope the other party will win so that this can be over." Sheng Zuo had a sad face.
Ran Ran and the male protagonist in another small town did not notice that the residents of the town would mutate at night. The town he lived in was exactly the opposite of the town where Lu Yuqi lived.
