"Oh, I don't fully understand it either. Those Japanese people are really cruel!"
Lu Xuan sighed, expressing his complete incomprehension.
Leng Mengyao pondered for a moment and seemed to have some ideas.
"Lu Xuan, I think their actions might be... still related to that legend..."
"What did you say? ...Legend?"
Whenever the word "legend" drifted into his ears, Lu Xuan's brows furrowed involuntarily, and an inexplicable feeling of annoyance welled up in his heart. It seemed that any encounter even remotely related to the word "legend" was a harbinger of trouble to come, making him subconsciously want to stay away, fearing being drawn into some ominous vortex again.
"Do you remember Fatty said they were from the same class?"
Leng Mengyao started the conversation by asking Lu Xuan a question.
"Of course I remember. Wait... Are you saying that there were five of them in total? One, two, three, four, five. So..."
As Lu Xuan pondered Leng Mengyao's question, he felt that this matter was extremely terrifying...
"'Same batch' refers to the people who landed on the island together 444 days ago. According to legend, only four of these people can survive. So there are five of them. If they can't kill the other team, they can just kill their own companions to ensure that the number of survivors is four!?"
Lu Xuan slowly confided his thoughts to Leng Mengyao, but as his words deepened, an inexplicable chill quietly crept up his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
"It's very likely that this is the case..."
Leng Mengyao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Oh my god...are they crazy? This is supposed to be just a rumor, right? Do they really believe it? And because of this legend, they attack each other and even kill their own companions? Crazy, these people are completely crazy!"
Lu Xuan's heart was in turmoil, and he found it difficult to accept this almost absurd idea. However, all the signs at the moment seemed to indicate that this was the only way to barely connect all the mysteries.
"Legends themselves are not something to be feared. What truly terrifies us is the undercurrent hidden deep within the human heart..."
Leng Mengyao's expression was unusually calm, as if he had already seen through the essence of all things in the world.
Lu Xuan sighed deeply and had a deep understanding of Leng Mengyao's words.
The so-called deserted island legend may be only half true, or even smaller, but it is this tiny possibility that is enough to drive some people to wield their knives against innocent people in order to protect themselves.
"Fat pig, where are you going?"
Lu Xuan was originally lost in thought. When he looked up, he suddenly found that the fat pig had moved into the front yard. He immediately stopped the pig.
"No...nothing, I just wanted to pee..."
After being yelled at by Lu Xuan, the fat and big-eared man shuddered violently, then stammered and pointed in the direction of the toilet on the east side of the front yard.
"Go, come back quickly..."
Lu Xuan responded casually, but his eyes were always fixed on the other person, without wandering for a moment.
"Lu Xuan," Leng Mengyao parted her red lips and let out a long sigh, as if releasing the doubts that had long been pent up in her heart. "Tell me, we are so cautiously guarding against 'Fat Pig'. Could it be that we are subconsciously shrouded in some dark emotions, just like those Japanese who brutally murdered their companions, without realizing it?"
There was a hint of self-reflection and confusion in Leng Mengyao's words.
Lu Xuan and the girl exchanged glances, then looked at the fat pig's departing figure...
Maybe he would not admit that he would become as ruthless and ungrateful as that Japanese woman, but subtly, had he already labeled everyone except the four of him as "enemies"?
As Leng Mengyao said, human nature is really terrible.
"Handsome boy, I'm back."
Just when Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao were reflecting on human nature, Yin Yichen came back from the backyard and looked Lu Xuan up and down.
Lu Xuan even noticed that the girl's gaze finally fell on his crotch...
"Lu Xuan, Meng...Meng Yao. I...I'm going to take a shower too."
At this moment, Shen Keyin, who had been silent on the side, saw Yin Yichen coming back from the backyard and said that she also wanted to take a shower.
"Okay, be careful, it's already dark. I'm wondering what's wrong with you guys today, all of you..."
Leng Mengyao nodded somewhat dully, not understanding why the two girls were so keen on taking a bath at night.
"I don't know about this. Maybe I just like to be clean, hehe..."
Lu Xuan really couldn't answer this question. At least for him, he completely didn't understand why Miss Yin was joining in the fun.
When Shen Keyin finished washing and returned to the cave, Lu Xuan made another allocation of beds.
The fat pig was still placed in the sub-cave. Aphrodite said that she had to take care of Taylor who was still weak, so she could keep watch in the first half of the night.
As for the person who "slept with" Lu Xuan, it should be Leng Mengyao, but President Leng was tactful enough to switch places with Shen Keyin.
After everyone fell asleep, Lu Xuan blinked at Shen Keyin beside him, thinking of the "field activity" tonight, and felt that it was full of aftertaste.
Chen Keyin glanced at Leng Mengyao who had already fallen asleep, then secretly moved half a body closer to Lu Xuan and said to him in an extremely soft voice: "I'm sorry... tonight..."
Chen Keyin's cheeks were stained with a blush, like shy clouds in the morning light. She was obviously feeling sorry for her retreat at the critical moment and her failure to complete Lu Xuan's "mission" perfectly.
Lu Xuan was a little stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to see through the waves in Shen Keyin's heart - this girl must have felt a little embarrassed and uneasy because of his uncharacteristic enthusiasm and initiative in the last ten minutes.
"How could that be? That's simply fantastic." Lu Xuan's words were filled with a smile, and he looked at Shen Keyin with tender eyes, his thumbs raised involuntarily. In his heart, he actually hoped that every communication with Shen Keyin could be as warm and passionate as this, filled with unspoken emotions.
"Then I..."
Shen Keyin secretly turned her head to glance at Aphrodite who was still guarding Taylor. Seeing that she had almost her back to her, she moved another 20 centimeters towards Lu Xuan and whispered to him, "How about I help you again..."
Shen Keyin pointed at herself, then at Lu Xuan...
Lu Xuan never expected that this girl would not only turn the passive position into the active one today, but also give him a "snack". He was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.
With a wife like this, what more could I ask for!
