Lu Ban subconsciously answered the call.

But just as his finger was on the connect button, Lu Ban suddenly remembered something.

My cell phone has no signal for a long time, why can I receive the call?

He looked at the signal bar above his phone and saw a clear cross.

Then this call is very questionable.

The cheerful default ringtone echoed in the fog. The contrast had a perverse and distorted feeling. Lu Ban waited for a few seconds. The phone was still ringing, so he pressed the call button.

Putting the phone to his ear, Lu Ban heard a voice coming from the other side.

"Is it Lu Ban?"

Amber's voice is gentle, like a ray of sunshine in this foggy weather.

"It's me."

Lu Ban replied that he could hear the other person's breathing, which was very real.

"Where are you? It's all dark here. It seems like there's a power outage."

Amber's voice sounded uneasy, like a kitten in trouble.

"Don't worry."

Lu Ban said this and looked around. The fog seemed to have changed due to the breeze. The lights in front were still flickering, but they had become much clearer.

He saw the hotel sign, as if it was very close at hand, within reach.

"When are you coming back? I'm a little scared."

Amber's voice was a little trembling, which made people feel pity.

"Don't worry."

Lu Ban said calmly.

"Why are you so cold? Are you going to abandon us?"

Amber suddenly said, with a hint of anxiety and panic in her voice.

"Please, don't abandon us, don't leave, okay?"

She began to plead, her voice full of anxiety and a little madness.

"I know, you've changed, you don't want to come back, you never wanted to be with us from the beginning!"

Suddenly, Amber's voice became morbid and coquettish again.

"Don't be anxious. I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious."

As Lu Ban spoke, he walked towards the hotel and found himself at the door of the hotel.

"How did you become like this? You were not like this before. Do you have someone else outside? Who is she?"

Amber's voice was completely distorted and hysterical, like that of a deranged lunatic.

Lu Ban put the phone away and looked at the call interface. A hideous face was gradually emerging from it.

That was Amber's face, but it was distorted by jealousy and anger, becoming hideous and terrifying.

That face seemed like it would pop up in the next second, changing in Lu Ban's phone, and even about to pop out.

Lu Ban hung up the phone.

When Lu Ban pressed his fingers on the screen, he felt something wet.

He removed his finger and saw blood.

The blood continued to flow out from the screen, accompanied by some tiny amber mutterings. The blood flowed onto Lu Ban's hand and dripped down his arm.

Lu Ban closed his eyes and opened them again. The blood was still there. This was not an illusion.

He pushed the door open, walked into the hotel, and placed his phone on the front desk.

Blood continued to flow out of the phone, endlessly, giving people a shocking sense of terror.

He looked around. The hotel was shabby, run-down and very damp. The wooden tables, leather sofas, telephones and the clocks on the wall all had an abandoned feel as if they had been fished out of the water.

Lu Ban took a look inside. The hotel had four floors, which was considered tall on the island. There were only stairs, no elevator.

Fortunately there weren’t a pair of twins standing at the top of the stairs saying “All work and no play makes a fool of clever Jack.”

He looked at the phone that was still bleeding and thought he couldn't keep it anymore.

Lu Ban searched around and found some accommodation records at the front desk.

This town is relatively backward, computers are not widely used, and accommodation records are all handwritten.

Turning to the first page, Lu Ban saw that this was a record from the 1960s. It seemed that it was from that time that the island gradually developed tourism until now.

The tourists’ names and simple information were recorded in broken English. Lu Ban couldn’t understand it anyway, so he just flipped to the end.

However, Lu Ban discovered that this record only went back to ten years ago.

"Strange, did you change to a new one?"

Lu Ban flipped through it casually and found that there were many blank spaces behind the record, so there was no need to change it.

After all, I have used it for decades and have used it so much that it is not necessary to replace it at this time.

There was no other written record on the table, so Lu Ban went back and looked through it again.

This time he looked at the final record carefully.

Soon, he discovered that there was a familiar name on it.

Changyu Zou, Shuzhi Sun.

Zou Changyu and Sun Shuzhi were the businessman couple who invited them to the island.

They were the last tourists to check in.

After some calculation, Lu Ban discovered that the time they checked in was almost the same as the time his child was killed.

The couple was outside when their child, the victim, was killed, and now it seems that they came here.

"What happened?"

Lu Ban had always felt that the couple was suspicious. Now, something was wrong on the island. Lu Ban had reason to suspect that they must have something to do with the jade pendant.

Now that the accommodation record came out, Lu Ban guessed that they must have hidden something on this island.

"I wonder where Xia and Lao Cui are?"

Lu Ban originally wanted to take a photo with his cell phone as a record, but when he saw the phone still bleeding, he had to give up.

Fortunately, his memory was invincible and he could perfectly restore all the details, so he carefully wrote down this record just in case.

He came to the door next to the front desk, which should be the boss's room.

When I opened the door, I smelled a damp smell inside, like a rotten rag. Taking a deep breath would definitely make my stomach churn.

After searching for a while, I didn't find any text or picture materials here.

He left the room and prepared to go to the second floor to check.

The shoes made a creaking sound as they stepped on the stairs, as if they would break and fall down at any time.

He went to the second floor, where all the doors of the rooms were closed.

Lu Ban turned the doorknob and found that the door was not locked. He pushed it open and found that the room was quite spacious, but it was filled with the smell of decay and dampness, and the quilt was covered with mold spots.

He walked out and came to the second door.

At this time, Lu Ban heard a voice coming from the room next door.

Boom——

It was like the sound of something falling to the ground. Lu Ban was very familiar with this sound. He had heard the same sound in the corridor of the villa just now.

He immediately lowered his footsteps and came to the door where the sound came from.

If you listen carefully, you will hear some subtle sounds besides the mumbling.

Just like the human heartbeat, breathing, and other tiny life activities.

Lu Ban was very sure that there was something behind this door.

He placed his hand gently on the door handle.

Just then, all movement disappeared.

Lu Ban felt that the things behind the door suddenly stopped all activities.

Both breathing and heartbeat stopped.

But a strong premonition told Lu Ban that there must be something behind this.

He held his breath.

The next moment, Lu Ban pushed the door open and walked in.
