Walking behind the two girls, Lu Ban felt the humid sea breeze.

Amber had a cherry blossom hair accessory on her head and was wearing a beige two-piece swimsuit. She was wearing a light cherry-colored ankle-length skirt decorated with petals on the outside. Her long legs were faintly visible between the hems of the skirt. On her feet were brown Roman shoes wrapped with leather straps, revealing her slender ankles and round, flawless toes like pearls.

Hongye was wearing a bright red bikini, a white wide-sleeved shirt, denim hot pants, flip-flops, and her long hair was tied up behind her head. She had a much better figure than Amber, and the lines outlined by the swimsuit between the thin shirt were so eye-catching that it was impossible to look away.

The looks of these two people are already at the forefront of human beings, and they naturally attracted the attention of all the young people in the town with such dressing.

Lu Ban observed the people in the town. Most of them were fishermen who often went out to sea. In addition, their skin was darker, so they all looked dark. Both men and women had strong muscles.

There are still some tourists in the town. The island is some distance away from the nearest airport, so it is not a popular tourist attraction, but the advantage is that there are not many people. As we all know, popular attractions are crowded, especially the beaches by the sea. This secluded atmosphere is really rare.

We passed by hotels, bars, and restaurants, and walked down the mountain road until we arrived at the beach.

This island is obviously made up of volcanic rocks from volcanic eruptions. The reefs near the sea are mostly black, and the gravel on the beach is fine and becomes deep under the beating of the sea water.

Under the bright sunshine, there are less than ten tourists on the beach. These tourists are far away from each other, enjoying their own summer.

Lu Ban came to the beach hut, where there were changing rooms, showers, lockers, and you could rent some parasols, lounge chairs, etc. You could also buy food and water. As for the prices, it was just like that at the tourist attraction.

He rented a parasol and a lounge chair and bought some iced drinks. When he set them up on the beach, the girls had already gone to the locker room and changed into their swimsuits.

“Does it look good?”

Amber came in front of Lu Ban and asked expectantly.

"not bad."

Lu Ban spoke the truth.

"What about me?"

Hongye asked casually.

"Well enough."

Lu Ban still spoke the truth.

"Tsk, you don't understand romance!"

Hongye seemed a little dissatisfied and took Amber's arm.

"Let's go, I'll help you put on sunscreen."

"Ah, yeah."

Amber seemed to want to say something to Lu Ban, but was pulled away by Hongye.

Looking at the two people applying sunscreen to each other on the lounge chairs, the light-colored cream being spread on their fair skin, an alluring scene, Lu Ban decided to go to the beach to take a look.

He took a bottle of iced drink and walked to the beach submerged in sea water, feeling the cold sea water hitting repeatedly under the swaying waves. The environment here looked quite good. No wonder Zou Changyu and his wife chose to recuperate in this place.

On the other side, the two girls had already walked into the sea and were splashing water on each other and playing. This scene would never happen in the real world.

He looked to the other side. Beyond the beach were reefs and hills. Many islands had caves that were submerged during high tide and revealed during low tide, becoming the stage for some comics. However, it was obvious that it was high tide now and no such caves could be seen.

However, Lu Ban saw several local children playing on the reef.

The waves kept hitting, and Lu Ban felt it was a bit dangerous, so he walked over to try to persuade them.

"It's very dangerous here, it's best not to play there."

After thinking about the language used by the people here, Lu Ban spoke in his slightly poor English.

The children noticed Lu Ban. They stopped what they were doing and mumbled something, but Lu Ban couldn't hear clearly.

He took two steps closer.

"die!"

The group of children suddenly shouted as if they had seen a monster.

Lu Ban didn't understand what was going on, but they quickly dispersed, nimbly flipping over the rocks, and soon disappeared.

Of course, as an experienced Chosen One, Lu Ban knew very well that such suspicious situations could not be explained away by accident.

He recalled secretly, memorized the appearance of these children, and returned to the recliner.

The two girls were still in the water. Lu Ban lay on the chair, enjoying this rare leisure time.

After a while, Lu Ban felt someone walking towards his head, and he looked up.

Xia was wearing a dark-colored halterneck bikini, a skirt made of a tropical-print beach towel, and lace-up sandals. Her figure was not pretty for a 20-year-old girl, but her long legs and slender waist still had a breathtaking charm. The only thing that ruined the picture was that Xia was holding half a watermelon in her hand and was using a plastic spoon to scoop out the flesh and eat it. She didn't look elegant at all.

"Do you want to eat?"

Xia noticed Lu Ban's gaze and pushed the watermelon three centimeters towards him.

"Need not."

Lu Ban declined Xia's kindness.

"Oh, you said that."

Xia hurriedly took the watermelon back and immediately ate a big piece of it, as if she was worried that Lu Ban would go back on his word.

"Aren't you going to play in the water?"

She also asked.

"I have an instinctive fear of the sea."

Lu Ban replied.

"Have you ever drowned?"

Xia guessed that she knew some people who drowned or experienced floods when they were young, so they had a PTSD-like resistance to going into the water.

“It’s not considered drowning, but the things in the sea can feel dangerous.”

Lu Ban thought that the three girls present had all lost their lives on that island in the sea, and now they were gathered here, which was also a kind of fate.

"What do you think of this island?"

Xia asked again, she sat on the lounge chair beside her and took another bite of watermelon.

"It was great, but I just ran into a group of kids who were yelling 'die' at me."

Lu Ban recounted what he had just seen and heard.

"You think this is suspicious?"

Shia smiled.

"You are indeed different. Normal humans would not feel dangerous or uneasy because of these things, but in your opinion, the malice in this world is very deep. Even a few casual words can cause harm."

“I’ve always lived in this world.”

Lu Ban replied and glanced at Xia again.

"Why do you like eating? I'm a little curious. You know, in the real world, you are a big eater because the resources in the Country of Darkness are scarce, and you have been wandering outside all the time, with no place to go for food. But here, you don't have the innate conditions to form this habit."

"Me? I've loved eating since I was a child. Or rather, I like trying different things, and food is the most varied thing I can come into contact with. Besides, doesn't eating delicious food make people happy?"

Xia answered as a matter of course. She did not dwell on what Lu Ban said about the real world. She just treated it as a background for the conversation. She thought about it and spoke again.

"In fact, there is one thing I find very strange. If your original real world really exists, and this place is real, then why do the people in the other world you described have the same personalities as the people in this world? You know, the environment in which a person grows up determines his or her personality, and this place is obviously very different from the world you describe."

"So there must be a world that is false."

Lu Ban sighed.

He wanted to say something else when he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from the sea ahead.

"Drowning, someone is drowning!"
