If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Andward Island.

Walking from the yacht to the pier where the sun was setting, Lin Nian looked back at Minister Will who was wearing a Hawaiian shirt on the deck of the yacht. Behind him, Lu Mingfei, Ling, Mandy and Li Huanyue were all standing on the pier. Everyone felt a sense of relief at last.

The cargo ship carrying the natives of Atlantis was finally discussed and headed directly to the Sri Lanka and Indian branches for handover. Lin Nian and the others no longer had to worry about the rest.

The survivors of the Wittelsbach family will also be handed over to the secret party as bargaining chips on the negotiation table with the North American mixed-race family. I don’t know that Angers will kill his old rival Henkel Da Yi. repatriation costs.

As for Barbarossa, the unlucky ones like Anna and Flora who strayed into the Nibelungen will most likely be arranged a large amnesia package. However, under the ears of Lu Mingfei, who is not a kind person, Anna and Flora The memory of this unlucky mother and daughter will probably not be deleted to the point of fragmentation. At least they will be able to leave an exciting memory of the battle on an uninhabited island with savages.

As for Nakhimov, Lu Mingfei also asked the Madai branch to send a message to the Indian branch. After the memory was processed, Nakhimov was asked to contact his daughter immediately, which was considered completed by Lu Mingfei. The promise I made to that rich Russian girl made me feel much more comfortable.

The Maldives branch naturally agreed to such a trivial matter as Lu Mingfei told him, but the price was that Lu Mingfei was entertained by the enthusiastic branch commissioners on the cargo ship, and he owed a favor to Paodu. It was not easy to run, and he was pulled aside and asked questions here and there the whole time, and it was not easy to leak some sensitive information about the Nibelungs, which made him extremely uncomfortable along the way.

But in general, the aftermath was basically taken care of by the Madai branch. The placement of personnel, the warning and maintenance of the sea area where Atlantis sank, the announcements from the headquarters, etc., were almost all taken care of. Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian were not allowed to worry about it anymore.

In the words of Minister Will, it is a shame for them to have neglected such a large Nibelung for many years within their jurisdiction. They failed to discover the situation in time and help Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei. , the Maldives branch cannot escape the blame.

So please leave all subsequent troubles to them, and Lin Nian and the others can just go back to the island and enjoy their vacation with peace of mind.

"I'm sorry for not being of much help, but I'm glad to have the opportunity to cooperate with you this time. It's an honor for the Madai branch." On the deck, Minister Will took off his hat and bowed his head to apologize to Lin Nian and others again.

"In any case, thanks to the branch's rescue, we can avoid more troubles and meaningless casualties. We are very happy to cooperate with the Madai branch and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate next time." Lin Nian He also nodded to Minister Will on the ship and Kaka and Olga behind him, indicating that there was no need for such an attitude.

It's not that he was being official. In fact, to be honest, this Atlantis incident was purely an emergency. If Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei had not gone up there, nothing would have happened. Under such circumstances, the Madai branch was able to finally send a ship to rescue them, which was an act of benevolence and justice. It could even be regarded as an act of wiping the butts of Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei. There was no such thing as being late.

Now that things can be resolved satisfactorily and everyone has face, there is no need to delve into some things.

After Minister Will, Lin Nian and others gave a final nod, the yacht sailed away on the sunset sea. Lin Nian and others on the dock also watched the yacht go away before moving away and focusing on each other. On the body.

"So? What are we going to do next?" Lu Mingfei breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling like his body was lighter, and looked at the people around him and asked.

“The Andward Island APP shows that in order to celebrate the previous unexpected high tide incident and no casualties, an open-air bonfire party will be held on the beach tonight. Those who want to participate only need to bring a stick to add fuel to the bonfire. Just firewood for bricks and mortar." Mandy took out a mobile phone that came from someone in the Madai branch and said.

"Are you sure it's not the manager of the island who found out that there was too much dead wood washed everywhere by the tide in a short period of time, so he had the idea to mobilize tourists on the island to help clean up these natural garbage?" Lu Mingfei complained.

"Or do you have any better ideas? If so, you can put it forward." Mandy rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei.

"I just want to sleep on the bed now! I'm almost exhausted!" Lu Mingfei was really tired. There had been violent bloodshed on the island for a long time, plus all kinds of squandering of bronze and the King of Fire. The authority consumed his physical energy intensely. If he hadn't consumed half a warehouse of energy bars on the cargo ship, he would have starved to death on the way home.

At this time, he began to envy Lin Nian. Yewei was such a good thing. He could eat and digest anything, and there was no need to be hungry at all. But he also maliciously speculated that Lin Nian must have secretly stuffed tree roots and soil into his mouth on the island in order to look cool and calm. Maybe the soil was mixed with protein-rich food. Where are the earthworms!

"I have to write a report to Norma about everything that happened in the Nibelungen this time. PAD is still in the room, so I have to go back." Lin Nian said.

The executive department and the school board of directors will definitely investigate the various bad things that happened when they broke into the Nibelungen this time. As a person involved, Lin Nian can imagine how annoyed he will be when he goes back, so why not Write the report in advance, organize the language, what should be said and what should not be said, and then when you get back, you can just throw the well-prepared words in the other person's face.

"You can write reports like that anytime. You're on vacation now, and Norma won't kill you and call you serially. Those annoying things must be dealt with after the vacation is over!" Mandy said happily! He teased, "And didn't your girlfriend who is far away from the headquarters give you an order to have fun before departure? It's very disappointing to come to the island beach and not attend the bonfire party! If you ask her back, she will think that you didn't have fun! "

Lin Nian said nothing, probably because he was not persuaded by Mandy.

"I won't go if Lin Nian doesn't go. I'll go back and get some sleep." Lu Mingfei quickly followed, "I'm so hungry."

"The bonfire party is all about food. I heard that the hotel manager moved the entire restaurant. The on-site Michelin chef will barbecue seafood for you in the open air, full of high-quality protein, unlimited drinks, and girls in bikinis dancing. , Don’t you feel tempted to think that a beautiful foreign girl who drinks too much might take off her clothes and chase the waves?”

"No. Sister, you are not the one who was surrounded by a group of people asking questions on the ship and couldn't even rest." Lu Mingfei complained, "I saw it. You found a guest room on the ship and just went there. When you wake up and reach the shore, you feel refreshed, what about me? "

Li Huanyue on the side didn't even look at her. She turned around and walked towards the wooden bridge connecting the pier to the beach. She was probably going back to her room to rest.

"You're not interested either? What kind of island vacation is it to come to the Maldives if you don't attend a bonfire party? Didn't you come to the Maldives in vain?" Mandy looked at Li Hueyue's back and shouted, but the other party didn't even look back and walked directly onto the beach. left.

"Rest." Zero said calmly the first time Mandy looked at him.

"Bah-" Mandy pursed her lips and made a disappointing sound.

"Speaking of which, it's not you who caused the trouble!" Lu Mingfei looked at Mandy looking very energetic after a good night's sleep, and was filled with hatred. If Mandy hadn't gone crazy and ran to the island, what would have happened next What a piece of shit! ? So the culprit is this little Spanish Yanma, okay!

"What did you originally plan to do when you risked your life to go to the island?" Lin Nian suddenly looked at Mandy and asked.

Mandy gently touched her chin with her index finger, looking at the sky dyed red by the setting sun. The next second, she suddenly turned around and sprinted, running along the wooden bridge to the beach, along the road leading to the green forest. The trail disappeared.

Lu Mingfei stared dumbfounded at the escape of this shameless person. He looked back at Lin Nian, looking full of regret for his misfortune and anger. In the end, he could only sigh, "Just spoil her! Sooner or later, she will be tricked. Let’s do it hard!”

"Let's talk about what happened then." Lin Nian looked at Mandy's disappearing back and said, "Ling will sleep in your room tonight, and you sleep with me."

Their suite had two rooms, and they could just share one with each other. There was no problem for him and Lu Mingfei to squeeze in. The bed was very wide anyway. After leaving the resort island for so long, their room was probably flooded. It has been sorted out a long time ago.

"You shouldn't ask me if I have any problems. I don't have any problems sleeping under the bed." Lu Mingfei looked at Ling, and then realized that Ling didn't say much. He just nodded calmly and had no problem with this arrangement.

"Let's all go back and rest first. Let's pick a time to review the confessions together about the things we encountered in the Nibelungs. I can write a unified report and hand it over to the execution department. I won't be busy with these things for the time being today. "The most important thing is to have a good rest." Lin Nian pulled on his beach pants. This pair of pants was lent to him by someone else on the boat. They were one size too small and uncomfortable to wear. He wanted to change into his own pants when he returned. clothing.

"That's it. Remember to take Ling to the villa. She can't find the way. I'll go deal with some things first and meet at the villa then." After Lin Nian finished speaking, he disappeared from the place, leaving Mingfei and Ling Yi behind. Individual standing on the pier.

"Uh, walking?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Ling's knees and legs, which were still covered with medicine, and carefully stretched out his right hand.

Ling looked at Lu Mingfei's right hand, was silent for a moment, and then put his hand on it. Under the sunset, the two of them walked in unison to the white soft beach, almost like walking.

After leaving Lu Mingfei and Zero, Lin Nian traveled to every corner of Andward Island through Time Zero in a short period of time, but did not find that familiar figure again.

In the end, he found the beach on the right side of the island, where Elena had created a lagoon out of thin air.

The cordon has been dismantled here. It is getting late and the sun is about to sink into the sea level. You can see workers everywhere along the beach, setting up venues for the evening bonfire party.

Lin Nian looked at the man who looked like a hotel manager who was holding a small notebook and was busy arranging the manpower in the distance. He walked over from the edge of the green path and stood behind him.

"Is this Manager Ethan?"

The manager whose name was called turned around and found Lin Nian standing behind him. He was holding a business card that belonged to him. This made him subconsciously touch the business card box in his arms, wondering how the business card got into his hand. .

It is clearly an island in the Maldives, but the hotel manager is a typical American white man, which is in line with the stereotype.

"Dear guest, we have not yet completed the venue arrangement for the bonfire party. Please wait until after 11 o'clock in the evening before coming here." The manager looked at Lin Nian who was looking down at the business card, thinking that he was here to attend the bonfire party.

"My companion and I are lost. We booked hotel rooms separately. Can you please tell me where her room is?" Lin Nian asked without looking up, looking at the front and back of the business card.

"Well... can you provide the room number of your companion, sir?"

"I forgot the room number, can you only provide the name?"

"Well, sir, in order to protect the privacy of each of our guests, you must at least show the electronic receipt of the reservation when you check the villa residence..." The manager was stuck halfway through his words, because when he refused, Lin Nian raised his head and shifted his gaze from the business card to the other party's face.

Even though the molten pupils did not ignite the brilliance, the magnificent colors in them still gave the manager a huge shock. He was a little dazed and his speech became slow, as if he was talking in his sleep.

"The name is Lin Xian, Chinese, female, please check her check-in information, and it would be best if you could give me the room number and specific location." Lin Nian said.

The manager was like sleepwalking, and began to do what Lin Nian said, took out a pad, entered the management password and began to operate the background.

This is one of the effects of the molten pupils, mental oppression for the manipulation of the weak bloodline creatures, but it can only be a not too complicated control, similar to a weakened version of hypnosis, a symbol of absolute dominance.

"Room number 603, Beach Sunset Villa, Single Deluxe Room." The manager handed the information he found to Lin Nian and repeated it blankly.

It must be said that Lin Xian and the emperor did things openly and honestly. The passport and name used to register the hotel were intact, and they were not afraid of being checked at all. Maybe the secret party would not have thought that the fugitives who were tracked would dare to go to the Maldives for vacation openly.

Lin Nian glanced at the early check-in information and name on the pad, and then turned around and disappeared to make sure that he had found the right person.

"Manager, is the fire in the oil barrel lit now? Or wait until the guests arrive?" The staff member next to him came over and asked, and then found that the manager's back was a little absent-minded, so he tried to pat his shoulder, causing him to tremble all over.

"What? Oil barrel? Didn't I say that the oil barrel should be lit last, otherwise it will waste fuel. Uh." The manager turned back to look at the staff reflexively, and then his head was stuck, and he turned back to look at the empty front.

Who was he talking to just now? I remember that a guest seemed to have asked him for something before, but I can't remember it.

"Okay, okay, hurry up. Whether tonight's bonfire party can prevent us from receiving complaints from guests depends on you! Get ready!" The manager put this matter behind his mind, clapped his hands and shouted, "By the way, has anyone seen my pad?"

Leaving the beach, Lin Nian followed the instructions on the pad and soon came to the sunset beach villa. He took out the universal room card he got from the hotel manager and waved it on the access control system. The door opened automatically. After pushing the door open, the room was dark and quiet.

Lin Nian put the pad on the shoe cabinet beside him, walked into the room, sniffed a little, smelled the familiar smell in the air, and also confirmed that she had lived here for a while before, and lived quite well.

After a round of inspection in the house, it was very clean, nothing was left, and the luggage had been packed away long ago. There was a used coffee machine on the table, and disposable coffee cans were piled up into a pyramid next to it.

The coffee base liquid left in the ceramic cup on the table was filled with a clear bitter taste, proving that she was still drinking coffee like before, desperately adding espresso to it, which was so bitter that it was deadly. Every time she was asked why she liked to drink this kind of thing, she would only smile and answer that it was for refreshing.

Lin Nian pushed open the French window of the room. Outside was the backyard facing the last sunset beach. He walked out and looked at the chairs placed on the side. He could think of every evening before, she would sit here and have a drink, quietly watching the sun fall into the sea and go out. What was she thinking about at that time, and who was she thinking about?

Lin Nian turned his head to look at the round glass table next to the chair, where the last afterglow of the sun illuminated an opened champagne inserted in the ice bucket. There were two glasses next to the champagne, one of which was filled with golden wine, and the other was empty, but there was a faint golden liquid on the wall of the glass, symbolizing that it had been filled not long ago.

Lin Nian picked up the empty glass and found a light lip print on the rim. He guessed who it belonged to and that the other person had left shortly before he returned to Andward Island. Perhaps he arrived just before the other person left.

So naturally, he looked at the other glass of champagne that was filled for him, picked it up, took a sip, and then put it back.

His taste in wine selection was surprisingly good, so how much good stuff did he drink secretly when he was hiding it from him?

Lin Nian took out the half-full bottle of champagne from the ice bucket and lifted the tag hanging on the neck of the bottle. On it was written an English word in familiar scribbled strokes:

enjoy.

—

The sun had completely set, and it got dark early in the Maldives. After Lu Mingfei returned to the sea villa that belonged to him and Lin Nian, after setting up Ling and entering the room next door, he fell directly on the bed without thinking. Fell asleep.

To be honest, he didn't sleep too well that night. He had a nightmare. In the dream, he returned to the island of Atlantis that was supposed to have sunk, but the island in the dream was not like it is today. There are dinosaurs everywhere, it's like Jurassic Park.

In the dream, the island of Atlantis is very glorious, just like the legendary Garden of Eden. There is gold everywhere, peace and tranquility everywhere. The aboriginal people dressed in white are on the island at sunrise and sunset. In the golden library, I was studying the ancient scrolls of history with that beam of sunlight, and the skyrocketing vine-like traces spread on the golden ground, beautiful and fertile.

But one day, a fire suddenly broke out from the coast of the island. A golden figure took advantage of the waves of the tsunami to land on the beach in a boat. The figure stood on the edge of the island without moving further, but waited for the island. The people above came to negotiate.

The indigenous people on the island gathered in the golden library and began to argue. They seemed to be arguing about how to deal with the intruder on the shore. However, during the process of those disputes, no one noticed that there were always people in the corner. A different light flashed across the eyes of the silent figure.

Then came the war and killing, a civil strife that happened without any reason. All the indigenous people violently killed each other. The dispute inexplicably turned into a civil war. The originally harmonious indigenous people looked at each other in the eyes. There was only rage and hatred, and the primitive will to kill was like a wildfire that completely ignited the entire island, destroying all the ecology that had taken hundreds of thousands of years to build.

Until finally, the golden figure on the edge of the island stepped into the chaotic battlefield, and the molten red pupils reflected the white figure that finally survived, standing in the sea of ​​blood, and left a sentence.

[On the round table of pure reason, I have declared to the dragons that her existence is a denial of trust and an alienation of self-awareness. I have suffered from it, and you are not immune to it either. Fraud and falsehood are in her nature and are her original sins. Anyone who trusts her will pay a heavy price, becoming the nourishment of her existence and the source of her power to entangle and absorb. 】

Lu Mingfei suddenly saw clearly that the white figure standing in the sea of ​​blood actually showed the opposite cheek to Lin Nian under the light of the fire. And the golden figure standing in front of Lin Nian, wasn't that what he was called? Is it the golden soul of "Yelena"?

He was about to shout out Lin Nian's name. At this moment, he woke up from his dream.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the high ceiling of the villa in front of me. The bright moon was reflected on the dark sea outside the floor-to-ceiling window beside me, and there was a faint sound of the sea water hitting the beach.

Lu Mingfei slowly sat up on the bed, covered in cold sweat and a little dazed. His mind was filled with the nightmare, and it was difficult to understand whether it was just a ridiculous dream or a symbolic prophecy.

After sitting quietly on the bed for a while, Lu Mingfei gradually noticed that there seemed to be more than just his own breathing in the quiet room. He turned to look at the door of the room, and was shocked to find that Ling was standing there without saying a word. He was in a trance after watching the nightmare in bed.

"Lin Nian asked me to inform you that Norma's temporary call holiday has ended early, and the return ticket has been scheduled for noon tomorrow for convenience." Ling looked at Lu Mingfei, left these words, then turned and left the room. , and did not close the door.

"etc--"

Just when Lu Mingfei was about to ask something, Zero's voice came over calmly as he walked out of the room, "They were all having a bonfire party on the beach. According to Mandy Gonzalez's original words, this was... It’s our last night on the island, so I don’t want to waste hotel money. It’s up to you whether to go or not. ”

Lu Mingfei looked at Ling's leaving figure, and of course he noticed that this girl had put on new clothes at night. A cool shirt and a light yellow bikini swimsuit did not look like she was getting ready to sleep.

He suddenly fell on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze, but after a moment he sat up and shouted outside the room, "Uh, wait for me to change clothes, can we go there together?"

The only sounds that responded to Lu Mingfei outside were the sound of the door of the sea villa being closed, and the sound of footsteps walking further and further away.

Hearing this noise, Lu Mingfei got up in a hurry on the bed. While cursing himself for being stupid, he hurriedly turned over the suitcase to find clean clothes, and shouted outside:

"Wait a minute! I'll go! Wait for me!"

Outside the door of the villa, Zero leaned against the door, quietly looking up at the moon between the swaying leaves of the coconut trees, waiting for the idiot who was hurriedly falling on the floor to come out from behind the door.

ps: The Ma Dai roll ends tomorrow
