Chapter 308: Interrogation
Originally, Bai Yangfan didn't expect Old Zhang to believe it, but he didn't expect that after pondering for a moment, he actually believed it.
"Okay, Grandpa will listen to you. I'll arrange for someone to buy tickets back tomorrow. You're right, this island probably won't appear again. I don't know why, but I believe you wouldn't lie to me. Kid! You're amazing. It's not easy to come back from the island alive."
Bai Yangfan forced a smile, said nothing, and went to find Lu Jingheng and the others, preparing to return to the fishing village.
I bought the ticket, but I have to wait two days before I can leave.
Taking advantage of this time, Lao Zhang asked Bai Yangfan to go out, and only Lu Jingheng followed him. Zhang Yong, Bai Han and others all went to the beach to look for shells.
Lao Zhang was afraid that if he wanted to see Bai Yangfan again when he returned to Kyoto, he would have to threaten Lao Zhen again. It was really not easy, so he decided to ask some questions here.
The two of them arrived at a deserted beach. Old Zhang didn't hesitate and got straight to the point: "Son! Can you tell me why you are so sure that island will never appear again? Did something happen in the meantime that I don't know about?"
Looking at Lu Jingheng who was ten meters away and whom Lao Zhang didn't let get close to, Bai Yangfan thought for a while and didn't know how to tell Lao Zhang about this.
Really? This is too incredible. Even if I told him, he might not believe it.
He planned to brush it off: "Grandpa! I'm telling you it's okay, don't doubt my nonsense. In fact, the island is simply an illusion, it's not a real entity.
It's like a 'mirage' seen by people in the desert. I said it wouldn't appear because I destroyed the conditions for it to appear. It will never appear again, and no one will die from it."
She didn't lie. She took the black dragon away and threw it into space. How could the island appear again?
Just because she took away the culprits didn't mean she destroyed the conditions for the island to appear.
I don’t know if Lao Zhang will admit it after she said that.
If he really doesn't admit it, there's nothing she can do. She can only lie and say she doesn't know.
What else can we do?
But she didn't want to expose her Maoshan magic. Besides, Old Zhang was a believer in science, so even if she said something, people might not believe it.
Why bother?
"Illusion?" Lao Zhang lowered his head and pondered, "A mirage in the desert? Can such a wonder appear in the ocean?" Why am I so unconvinced?
Could it be that this girl deceived him?
But thinking about it carefully, I felt that what she said seemed to be right. The island appeared with a "boom" and disappeared directly with a "bang".
It's quite abnormal.
Operation that does not conform to the laws of nature.
It's a bit like a mirage in the desert, but not exactly.
A mirage is an illusion caused by human desire, which is different from an illusion.
The illusion in the desert only tempts people to run towards it, but they cannot get close to it.
But the island actually appeared in front of everyone, and some people even went there. Why did they never come back? It must have something to do with the illusion.
"Kid! That's not right." Old Zhang paced the beach. "Mirages are out of reach, but we've actually seen the island; it's not an illusion. You even climbed up there. Don't try to fool me, an old man. I want to hear the truth."
Don't worry! No matter what I heard, I swear, I will keep it to myself and never tell anyone, including your grandfather. So, can you tell me in detail what happened to that island? Why did you come back safe and sound after going there? What unknown things exist there?"
Seeing the girl's conflicted face, as if she didn't want to say anything even if she was beaten to death, Lao Zhang became even more interested.
"Child! You said the island was a mirage, and that the end of science might be theology. Based on your statement, can I understand that the island was actually a mirage of some mythical beast in the sea?
The man's voice we heard before wasn't actually a human, but an illusion, right? Can you tell me what's under the sea? Why can you stop it from appearing?
Bai Yangfan: “…” This old man doesn’t just believe in science blindly! Sometimes he believes in other things too.
But she still couldn't tell the old man about her affairs, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Grandpa! I don't know anything you are talking about. I just know that the island will not appear. I have destroyed the conditions for its appearance." Bai Yangfan had a helpless expression on his face, as if to say, "No matter how much you say, I don't want to explain. Believe it or not."
It almost drove Lao Zhang crazy.
"You're too clever, and not cute at all. I'm just curious and want to know what that island is made of. I also want to know if there really are spirits in this world. Why can't you just tell me the truth?"
Angry Old Zhang circled around Bai Yangfan and finally came up with a compromise.
"How about this? Just answer my questions with a nod and a shake of your head without saying a word. I also want to know why this island is so strange. It's overturned everything I've believed in for so many years, and I really want to prove whether what you said is correct."
Lu Jingheng put his hands in his pockets and watched Lao Zhang circling on the beach in frustration. He knew that the woman must not have told the truth and was driving him crazy.
Then he looked at himself, the calm and indifferent woman standing there obediently, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a doting smile.
His woman is very capable. No matter who comes in front of her, she can clean them up in minutes.
No matter whether she uses tricks or words, no one can get the better of her.
"Everyone has different beliefs. Grandpa, there is no need to worry about what I said." Looking up at the sea in the distance, the expression on Bai Yangfan's face hardly changed.
Calm and peaceful.
"I'm not confused, I'm just curious. A creature that can transform into an island must be a spirit, right?"
Bai Yangfan glanced at Lao Zhang and nodded slightly.
Lao Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. "So it's true? Then there are monsters under the sea? What are they?"
Knowing the little girl wouldn't answer his question directly, Old Zhang raised his hand to signal Bai Yangfan to be silent, muttering to himself, "Let me think about it, let me think carefully. If that island was conjured by a spirit, and it transformed into a man, constantly calling out a woman's name, then it's because of an emotional entanglement. Then the spirit can only wait here for that woman, year after year. Son! Am I right?"
Bai Yangfan nodded without hesitation, causing Old Zhang to burst into laughter, as happy as a child.
"Hahaha! I guessed it right, right? Hahaha! Older people are more experienced. I can guess it right with just a simple guess. But what exactly is that thing under the sea? Can you tell me?"
