When the magic flower blooms

Everything is forewarned.It must be admitted that Ming Ruoxing's reminder is indeed necessary.

Although He Tiansi was impatient, he didn't want to rush there rashly and let Ming Ruoxing encounter some danger with him.So he could only suppress his excitement, and started to do his homework honestly.

Of course, Ming Ruoxing was not idle—he immediately informed Ming Ruochen of the location and information of Liuzhu Island, and asked his elder brother to help with the investigation.

This time, Ming Ruochen quickly gave feedback, with two main points:

First, it is certain that Naga never went to Liuzhu Island to perform a mission.

Second, Liuzhuyu is a "black land".

The so-called "black land" is a unique concept in the demihuman society, which means "deliberately use some special means to prohibit demihumans from entering and leaving, and maintain a relatively hidden state".

In fact, there are many "black places" in the subhuman society.But most of them are ancestral homes or holy places of certain big families.

Because of the sanctity of these areas, it is strictly forbidden for random people to enter and leave, and some even the demihuman governments do not know of their existence.

In a sense, the highest form of sub-human society in China - the Dragon Emperor's Palace and its surrounding gardens, is also a large black land, and ordinary people are only allowed to approach it on very few days.

However, the nature of Liuzhu Islet is obviously completely different from the above two black lands.

First of all, the microchip data shows that there are no registered sub-humans living in a fairly wide area around Liuzhu Island.It can be said to be a vacuum in demihuman society.Therefore, naturally no demi-human family claimed ownership of Convective Pearl Islet—the possibility of being a family forbidden area was first ruled out.

Secondly, the place name Liuzhuyu has never appeared in the well-documented subhuman materials.If this island really hides secrets related to demihumans, then there must be some special reason that makes it "invisible".

"After research, we have reason to suspect that this island has a relationship with Chimera."

Ming Ruochen offered a possibility.At the same time, it is seriously suspected that there are still Chimera armed forces on the island.

Hearing this, Ming Ruoxing also thought of more information.

"He Tiansi's other paintings also show scenes that look like laboratories... Could it be that this is the Chimera laboratory where he was secretly imprisoned?!"

This reasoning is very likely to hold.But in this way, they will not be able to act rashly.

Ming Ruochen said that the police force is already being deployed to carry out special operations in the area of ​​Liuzhu Island as soon as possible to see if they can capture another batch of Chimera fish that slipped through the net.But before the operation is over, Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi are absolutely prohibited from approaching this area.

"I understand this." Ming Ruoxing nodded, "I will try to delay He Tiansi as much as possible, and take him there after confirming his safety."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Ming Ruochen's voice became serious.

"Xiao Xing, you have to think clearly. The more you help He Tiansi in this way, the more he will gradually realize that his past is a deception, and then he will fall into conflicts and entanglements."

"I've already figured this out." Ming Ruoxing didn't hesitate any more, "He's getting stronger and stronger. Even if I don't help him, he will investigate by himself. If this is what he really desires, then I will We can no longer continue to make decisions on his behalf.”

"But have you ever thought that when he has doubts about the past, he will also have distrust towards you. He even blames you for hiding everything."

"If you really want to blame me, I can't help it."

Ming Ruoxing let out a wry smile, "Maybe there will be misunderstandings and complaints at the beginning. But I believe that there will be a day when he will recall everything... At that time, maybe he will understand me."

"...Maybe, I just don't know how long the process of misunderstanding and complaining will be."

Knowing that his younger brother has made up his mind, Ming Ruochen didn't waste time continuing to do unnecessary persuasion.

"In short, now you are waiting for my news."

-

After sharing the information with Ming Ruochen, Ming Ruoxing began to assist He Tiansi to prepare for the trip to Liuzhu Island with all his heart.

From transportation, accommodation to the terrain on Liuzhu Island and preparations for camping.There are even diving equipment and some precautions against the so-called "pollution" - it can be seen that He Tiansi is indeed taking this journey of chasing memories seriously.

Three days later, when the equipment purchased online arrived at Goldfish Village one after another, the feedback sent by Ming Ruochen was sent to Ming Ruoxing's mobile phone again.

The Asian Security Bureau's lightning operation against Liuzhu Islet has come to an end.The action thoroughly clarified that Liuzhu Islet is indeed related to Chimera, but that is already a thing of the past. Today's island is already in ruins and desolate.

The [-]-person assault team spent half a day carefully inspecting the originally small island up and down.It was found that the topography of the island can be roughly divided into north and south sides.Among them, the side close to the coastline of the mainland is full of cliffs and forests, which effectively block the line of sight.On the south side near the depths of the sea is relatively flat land and loose sandy beaches, which not only provide shelter from the wind, but are also very conducive to the entry and exit of ships.

In the south, the assault team found a large area of ​​abandoned old-fashioned buildings—an old brick-and-wood structure old western-style building, exactly like the one in He Tiansi's sketch.After a preliminary investigation, it can be found that this is not a heavily polluting factory as rumored, but a series of schools, student dormitories, hospitals, shops and other living facilities for different age groups.

As for the "smell that makes many landers feel uncomfortable" in the rumors, it is actually a series of subhuman pheromone barriers arranged along the coast of the island.Although after years of wind and rain, it is no longer as strong as it used to be.But for ordinary humans, it is still enough to cause an extremely uncomfortable experience.

Although it is not yet clear why these schools and living facilities were built on this isolated island, one thing is certain: all of these institutions are related to Chimera.

"The commandos found these in the basement of the hospital on the island."

What Ming Ruochen sent over from his mobile phone was a video and a set of pictures.In the video, the commandos walked down a deserted building, and a metal security door suddenly appeared in front of it, which was obviously different from the age of the superstructure.After the demolition, they entered the security door, and found that it turned out to be an unusually wide underground space, which was arranged into a highly modern medical laboratory.

"Although most of the items at the scene have been taken away or destroyed, we have recovered some of the data from the remaining computer storage media. This has confirmed that this place was indeed the secret laboratory of the Chimera, and you The conjecture has also been confirmed - we studied the video of Naga sent by Chimera three years ago, and compared the background with the ruins of Liuzhu Island, we basically confirmed that Naga should have been brought to this secret laboratory. "

Ming Ruochen's words explained a lot of doubts, but brought up more doubts.

"When can we go to the island at the earliest?" Ming Ruoxing asked.

"Today we are still using metal detectors and other means to confirm whether there are lethal weapons on the island. If it is confirmed that it is safe, you can come here as soon as the day after tomorrow."

"Then what about Hutian? In places like this, there is likely to be a collective Hutian."

"I haven't found it yet." Ming Ruochen chose his words carefully, "But objectively speaking, the members of the commando team are of a completely different level from the current He Tiansi. High-level, pure-blood demihumans are always easier to get along with." Hutian resonated. But don’t worry too much, the people from the Asian Security Bureau will set up a monitoring system on the island, and your every move will be under our surveillance, you have no objection to this, right?”

"Of course it's okay. Anyway, this is part of the old case three years ago."

"Yeah, it's been three years. Maybe it's time to give Naga an explanation."

Ming Ruochen's voice sounded a little sighing, "Have you thought about it, how should you face the next situation?"

Ming Ruoxing was silent for a moment.

"...Let's take one step at a time."

___________

The next morning, more news about Liuzhuyu was sent to Ming Ruoxing's mobile phone as scheduled - the entire island was searched, and no remaining weapons or threats were found.Although it is suspected that there are demihuman bodies buried on the island, follow-up searches can be carried out after they leave the island.

In this way, when the preparations on He Tiansi's side were also fully prepared, the two of them drove to officially start the journey to Liuzhu Island.

From Jinyu Village to the east, over a mountain, you will reach the coast of the East Coast.Then drive south along the coast road.At the end of spring when there is no typhoon, the sea breeze is blowing and the water and sky are the same color. Although the speed of the car should not be too fast, the scenery along the way is refreshing.

On the first day, the two worked together and drove for a total of nine hours.I spent the night in the small coastal town that night, and set off early the next day.At noon, I finally arrived at a small county town that is the closest to Liuzhu Islet in a straight line.

On the small pier in the county seat, a speedboat "rented in advance" by Ming Ruoxing was already waiting by the pier.Chuan Lao is naturally also a member of the Yaan Bureau.

After half an hour of bumpy water, the speedboat took two people away from the calm port and headed all the way to the vast sea area in the southwest direction.

When the sea water gradually receded from the traces of artificial disturbance and turned from yellow to green, an island gradually rose from the junction of water and sky and appeared in front of them.

"Look, that's Liuzhu Island." Ming Ruoxing pointed to the front and asked He Tiansi, "Are you nervous now?"

"Fortunately."

He Tiansi shook his head, turned around and took out a filter-type heavy mask and gloves from his bag, "To be on the safe side, let's do a good job of protection first. If it really doesn't work, just withdraw."

"..." Ming Ruoxing took the things and coughed.

The captain who received the signal immediately began to play the role agreed upon before: "There is no such exaggeration. Have you heard the nonsense outside? There are no mosquitoes on the island, and there is no pollution anywhere, just a few broken houses .The water is full of fish too, don't be afraid."

"Is that so?" He Tiansi immediately felt relieved, "Master, have you ever been to an island?"

"I went there when I was a child, but it's not interesting. I haven't been there for a long time."

"Would you like to be a guide for us later?"

"That's not okay, I have something to do on the pier later."

"Then can I add some money to you?"

"...I don't think it's better than this. I'll draw a map for you based on my memory later."

"Yes, yes." He Tiansi nodded without doubting him.

While talking, the speedboat had already turned in one direction and circled around the southern shoal of Liuzhu Islet.Because the pier had been destroyed, the speedboat could not approach, and the two of them had to walk to the island.

After stopping the engine, the captain took out the pen and paper he had prepared, and began to draw the map—of course, it was the situation that the Asian Security Bureau had surveyed for the two of them in the past two days.

After the map was drawn, He Tiansi took it and thanked him repeatedly, paid the thank you fee, and suddenly sniffed again.

"Master, are you... are you a sub-human?"

"What duck... who is it?" The captain obviously wiped off the military-grade inhibitor before carrying out the mission, but now he can only bite the bullet and pretend to be stupid.

"...It's okay, he made a mistake."

Ming Ruoxing hurried over to the round field, then threw the equipment to He Tiansi, urging him to get ready to go to the island.

They made a symbolic appointment with the captain for a specific time to leave the island, and then stood in the warm seawater that reached mid-thigh, watching the speedboat turn and leave.

He Tiansi is still brooding.

"That boat boss really has a subhuman smell. Just now on the pier, there was a fishy smell everywhere, and the wind was very strong after the boat sailed. So I didn't notice it until just now."

"I don't think it's the captain's scent you're smelling."

Ming Ruoxing turned his attention in another direction.

"The smell is on this island."
