Chapter 74: Escape from the Deserted Island (Part 4)
"Do you think that Old Lady Wang's grandson is also from an outlying island?" Lu Yuqi remembered what they said during the day, that Old Lady Wang's grandson was not dead, but had secretly run away from the island.
"What do you mean?" Ji Xu waited for Lu Yuqi to continue.
"You see, Mrs. Wang is mentally ill. It can be said that she can't recognize her beloved grandson. Moreover, I went to her room and found that the photo frame she touched was empty. There was no photo of anyone in it."
"Old lady Wang said her grandson was eaten by a monster, and the islanders said her grandson wanted to live outside the island and ran away in the middle of the night."
"Could it be that Old Lady Wang's grandson really died in an accident, or was really eaten by a monster? She was shocked and lost her mind, and then she mistook the escaped one for her grandson. This person might have also found this island strange, so he has been trying to escape. Otherwise, why would he want to live outside the island so much?"
"I don't know if you understand what I said? Oh, I'm a little confused too."
"Hmm... I understand a little bit what you said, but would the islanders fail to recognize Old Lady Wang's grandson?"
"Don't want to see Old Lady Wang sad? It seems like they have a very good relationship."
"In that case, then Old Lady Wang's grandson escaped at night. Either he escaped successfully, or he failed to escape and was eaten by these monsters."
"Then, are we going out..." Sheng Zuo's face was full of resistance.
"Well, we won't go out tonight. Let's sleep tonight and go to the woods during the day tomorrow. We'll talk about it tomorrow night."
"Okay." Sheng Zuo was obviously relieved when he heard that the two of them couldn't go out.
When the sky was just getting light, Lu Yuqi heard the bell again.
"It looks like the sun has risen." Ji Xu also didn't sleep all night.
The strange-looking people outside the window began to return home one after another. When they came out, they saw the townspeople that Lu Yuqi and the others were familiar with.
"Don't they need to sleep?" Sheng Zuo said as he looked at the town residents who had returned to normal.
"Maybe, I'm not a human anymore, so I don't need to sleep."
"Fortunately it's fake, otherwise it would be too scary! My hairs are standing on end." Sheng Zuo quickly rubbed his standing hairs with his hands.
"Don't you say you're a coward!"
"Hurry up and take a nap. When you wake up, we can go take a look in the woods."
"So, shall we still go to the restaurant for breakfast? I can't accept it now."
"Don't worry, the food is still edible."
"Will we become like them if we stay here for too long, neither human nor ghost?"
Sheng Zuo kept muttering to himself beside him.
"I think if you continue like this, the director will invite you again for the next episode." Lu Yuqi didn't expect Sheng Zuo to be so immersed and serious.
"Wuwuwu....I know I'm recording a show. But I can't control myself." Sheng Zuo didn't want to think about it, but the more he didn't want to think about it, the more he continued to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.
"If you keep doing this, you will lose all your male fans..."
"Wuwuwu, please stop talking! I don't want to either..."
Little did they know that the barrage was going to be so lively.
[I never thought that the tough guy Sheng Zuo would be afraid of these things... He is even worse than a good old woman! 】
[Don’t be so absolute! 】
[This cute contrast is really lovable! 】
[This shows that he has strong empathy and is a good actor.] 】
[Ji Xu is really calm! Love it. 】
[Lu Yuqi is not bad either, both he and Ji Xu are very calm. 】
I feel their analysis is correct. 】
[I don’t know what Director Hou Ye is thinking at this moment. 】
【Ha ha ha ha! 】
[Director Hou Ye is definitely the fastest person to be eliminated in the history of the show! 】
After Lu Yuqi and the other two had a good sleep and a good meal, they went to the woods together. The woods was very large and birds could be heard chirping from time to time.
Lu Yuqi: "I don't know if we can find that old man. He lives alone in the woods, so he should know about monsters."
"Don't the people here all live in small towns?" Sheng Zuo asked.
Lu Yuqi: "No, the last time I saw him, he should be living in that little house by himself. I thought it was a small house for hunters to rest."
Ji Xu: "Then we'll ask him later. He should be a very important NPC."
The three found the cabin and the old man was repairing something in front of the house.
"You're back again?" This time the old man took the initiative to talk to Lu Yuqi and the other two.
"Then you know what we want to ask?"
"That's why I live here alone."
"Yeah. And what's the situation in the town?"
"That's what you saw. They were a group of people who couldn't die. Maybe they can't be called talents. They are monsters."
"What about you? You live here alone?"
"Me, I am also a monster, just a little better than them. I know what I am doing at night and I can control myself."
"You know the history of this town, it's all about that strange stone."
"A stone that emits colorful light at night. It's still in the museum." Lu Yuqi visited the town museum and also saw the stone.
"Yes, it's a strange stone. It turns all the people in the town into monsters. Monsters that are becoming more and more like fish." The old man's expression began to be dazed, as if he was missing something or thinking about something.
"Then how do we leave this island?" Lu Yuqi quickly asked the main question.
"Leave? Of course, how can a fish leave the water..."
No matter what Lu Yuqi and the other two continued to ask. The old man just said that fish cannot live without water... This sentence confused the three people.
Sheng Zuo: "What does this mean?"
Lu Yuqi: "I don't know. Fish cannot live without water. They are becoming more and more like fish. Does that mean that the residents of the town are fish and they cannot live without water?"
Ji Xu: "This water should refer to something else."
Lu Yuqi and Ji Xu looked at each other and said in unison: "Stone!"
Lu Yuqi said a little disappointedly: "The stone is in the museum. We can't go to the museum to steal the stone. What's the use of the stone? The monsters can't leave it. Are we going to throw it into the sea? These monsters will run towards the stone, and then they will all jump into the sea?"
Ji Xu: "Well, this is also a solution."
Sheng Zuo: "You two don't really want to go to the museum and steal rocks, do you?"
"We can go and have a look."
The stone is placed upstairs in the town museum. There is no glass cover or fence. It just sits quietly on the central platform.
"You can't just take this thing away casually? This is too unsafe."
"I don't think most people would pick up a stone."
"If we take it, will the people in the town find out?"
"That's for sure."
"Then let's come secretly at night? Take it and run away?"
“Not good.”
"Just play games, don't think about those things."
The three of them thought of a solution and waited for night to come.
The program team.
"Director, what should we do with these three?"
"Hmm....it's correct to follow what the three of them said. Props team, go find a way to make the stones glow at night, and tell the NPCs that if they see glowing stones, they should follow them."
"Director, what if they really throw it into the sea? Will the NPCs still follow?"
"You are so stupid, you can really make people jump into the sea. If they really throw them into the sea, it means the game is over!"
"oh!"
"Director, I think we can put this clip in the video when we record it."
"Well, whatever you think is okay."
