When the magic flower blooms

In a sense, Ming Ruoxing's words are not wrong.He Tiansi also quickly noticed that after the speedboat left, there were indeed waves of pheromones permeating the air.

There are many kinds of pheromones in demihumans, but the one in front of me is definitely not good intentions.On the contrary, it is like a barrier, rigidly rejecting the arrival of all uninvited guests.

"what do you think?"

He Tiansi immediately became concerned about Ming Ruoxing's feelings.

Ming Ruoxing shook his head: "This level is nothing to us at all."

"But for ordinary people, it should be uncomfortable, right? That's why there are rumors about pollution and non-pollution."

He Tiansi's brains turned quickly, "The uncle just now has nothing to do, so he is still a little suspicious."

Doubts are doubts, but fortunately He Tiansi did not continue to dwell on this issue.He held Ming Ruoxing in one hand and the map in the other, and started to walk forward through the water.

"Follow me, don't get lost."

After going ashore, there is a section of asphalt road, which has been weathered, cracked and covered with dust due to years of disrepair.On both sides of the road, the sand gradually transitioned to low grass and shrubs, and then turned into saline-alkali bushes with thick leaves.

About 100 meters ahead, trees started to appear and soon became a forest.Judging from tree species and planting intervals, it should be a professional windbreak forest.

According to the captain's map, after passing the windbreak forest, he officially entered the core area of ​​Liuzhu Island.

"Look, there are houses!"

He Tiansi raised his finger to the northwest.On the side of the road about 200 meters ahead, a towering multi-storey building appeared.The perennial humid water vapor on the island has covered it with an emerald green coat woven from scallops, but when you get closer, you can still see the brown-red brick walls and the wooden window frames with mottled blue paint.

"This is the elementary school on the island." He Tiansi made a judgment based on the signs on the map, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

__________

I don't know how many years of wind and rain, maybe there are still typhoons raging, this place has already become a ruin.Broken bricks and tiles all over the floor, glass slag and rust mixed together.

Under the big banyan tree in the yard, a broken swing creaked and swayed in the sea breeze, and the faded red cloth strips hung from the tree in tatters, looking ghostly.

A brief assessment of the safety of the ruins.The two walked into one of the teaching buildings cautiously.The former small western-style building with a herringbone slope has become a Tutiancuo.The sunken floor actually formed a small pond, and there were actually a few small fish that came from nowhere.

The two walked into several classrooms on the first floor.More than a dozen wooden desks and chairs are tilted here and there, and the parts near the window have been soaked in rain and rotted.The writing on the blackboard on the part of the back wall near the window has also been blurred into a hazy haze, while the writing on it can barely be read on the other half in the back.

Also recognizable are the bulletin boards on the inner wall.Although the wooden frame and waxed paper have fallen to the ground along with cobwebs and dust, the crooked handwriting written in pencil has not disappeared.

He Tiansi walked over, picked up a piece of brittle manuscript paper and looked at it carefully, and soon found out.

"This is almost 30 years old. This school has been abandoned for 30 years? That is to say, even if I have really been here, what I am facing is such a ruin..."

As he deepened his thinking, his expression also became serious, as if he had already had an ominous premonition.

Ming Ruoxing wanted to say something, but couldn't speak, so he could only lightly touch the back of his hand.

"We continue."

-

After leaving the elementary school, they continued to walk along the dilapidated streets to the depths of the island.It passed a kindergarten, several shops, residential buildings and a few other buildings with other functions.

Of course, everything is in ruins, except for the broken bricks and seabird droppings everywhere, even the common graffiti in ordinary ruins cannot be seen.

Since leaving elementary school, Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi have hardly communicated.The damp, dreary air of the island, and the desolation of its surroundings, evidently had a bad influence on them.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the originally gray sky finally started to rain.The sea breeze came and went, and the sand that rolled in from the south quickly blew away people's eyes.

Although there were still nearly half of the island that hadn't been inspected, the two of them temporarily changed their original plan and searched for a suitable hiding place.

The captain's map worked again.They quickly found the only auditorium on the island.

This is perhaps the strongest structure on the entire island - it's not an exaggeration to say it stands out from the crowd.Thick concrete walls and a slightly warped roof give it the appearance of a giant ship.

What's even more strange is that all the windows here from top to bottom are nailed with iron bars, and they are tightly sealed from the inside, which looks impregnable.

Anyway, there were no more choices right now, so the two hurried in.After taking off the raincoat and putting down the heavy backpack, they took a deep breath in unison.

"Are you okay?" Ming Ruoxing pulled out a towel and wiped the rainwater off He Tiansi's head and face.

He Tiansi smiled: "I'm fine. It's you, who looked nervous after going to the island."

Ming Ruoxing was about to shake his head when his eyes suddenly fixed on He Tiansi's back.

"What the hell?"

He Tiansi also turned his head and found a huge iron cage in the corner near the rostrum, similar to the one used to keep tigers and lions in zoos.

Taking a quick look elsewhere, they also found several other broken cages and chains as thick as arms at the other end of the arena.

Not only that, Ming Ruoxing also found many suspicious marks on the walls and ground of the venue, some were bullet holes, and some were more like leftovers after a violent impact.Deep and shallow dark brown scars remained.

"hiss--"

Looking at it, He Tiansi suddenly put his hands on his forehead and bent down.

Ming Ruoxing hurriedly supported him: "What? Do you remember anything?"

"It's too fast, and there are still some fragments... It's messy."

He Tiansi took several deep breaths, and gradually recovered, "It's all right."

Ming Ruoxing was still worried: "Do you want to change another place?"

He Tiansi smiled wryly: "You can't change this island, besides, this place is strong enough, you can live with peace of mind, don't change it."

Ming Ruoxing wanted to say something, but he heard his stomach growl suddenly and made an embarrassing sound.

No wonder.The two of them were busy on their way this morning, and it was already noon when they arrived at the pier. After that, they took a speedboat to the island non-stop, and did not eat for five or six hours.

He Tiansi hurriedly told him to find a place to sit down, and took out the Qiao Energy Bar from his bag and gave it to him.

"I'm going to support the pot, let's rest here for a while and eat something."

Because the plan is to stay on the island for a day and a night, the food preparation is relatively rich and sufficient.He Tiansi took out the small alcohol stove, lit it and started to boil hot water.Ming Ruoxing tidied up a small space by the stove, spread out a piece of plastic paper, and took out instant food, canned food and catnip tea.

The water boiled quickly, and the two frantically soaked the instant food, and warmed the cans with hot water by the way.In the cold ruins that have been abandoned for many years, the direction of food finally floated again.

Ming Ruoxing was so hungry that he devoured it wholeheartedly.He Tiansi was not in such a hurry, so while eating, he looked at the photos he had just taken on his mobile phone.

"...this is the lighthouse I've seen subconsciously."

He stopped on one of the photos and zoomed in on a part.

Just far away in the upper right corner of the picture, on a cliff, stands a red and white slender lighthouse.looming in the gray weather.

Ming Ruoxing asked him softly: "You didn't say much all this way, did you have something on your mind, did you remember anything?"

"There are indeed some places that feel familiar, but I haven't remembered more things yet."

He Tiansi shook his head, not hiding his confusion at all.

"Don't you think it's strange? There is obviously a barrier left by demihumans on the shore here. As an ordinary person, how did I come here and what did I do here? Was I alone at the time? Or was it with other people? Together? Who are the people with me, and where are they?"

One question followed another, and the answers to all these questions were in Ming Ruoxing's heart.As long as he opened his mouth, he could speak, but he was stuck in his throat.

In the end, all hesitation turned into a gentle suggestion.

"...Let's go and have a look later, go near that lighthouse."

-

The rain on the island follows the wind one after another.When the wind slowly subsided, the two of them packed their bags again, put on their rain capes, and left the temporary shelter.

The weather outside was gloomy and visibility was not high.But after walking back for five or six minutes, they still saw the target they were looking for from a distance.

The lighthouse stands on high ground in the northern part of the island.But there is no need to climb the mountain, because there is a fairly wide dirt road that stretches all the way.

It took the two of them nearly half an hour to reach the highest point on Liuzhu Island, and they suddenly realized that the effort was well worth the money.

Push open the iron gate that has been in disrepair, and carefully go up the creaking iron spiral staircase to the top of the lighthouse.The huge searchlight has already become a pile of dusty waste products, but through those huge windows, Ming Ruoxing can still see the incredible scenery.

On one side is the endless, vast sea.On the other side is almost the whole picture of Liuzhu Islet.

Like a dead city suddenly sealed by time.

He has a lot of information that He Tiansi doesn't know, but it also creates a lot of doubts that He Tiansi doesn't have at the moment—this island was full of life before it was deserted, and it looked peaceful and peaceful, so how could it be related to the notorious? The Chimera got involved.

And after the schools and other buildings on this island have been abandoned for more than 20 years, why did the Chimera build a secret laboratory under the hospital here?

The answer may have disappeared with the complete desertion of the island, or it may be hidden somewhere, waiting for them to discover...

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard He Tiansi beside him let out a soft "ah", as if he had made some important discovery.

Ming Ruoxing hurried to his side, and found that He Tiansi had already walked to the open-air corridor outside the lighthouse, grasping the railing with both hands, and was concentrating on looking down at something on the ground.

Worried that the railings were in disrepair for a long time, Ming Ruoxing first went up and grabbed He Tiansi and brought him back to a safe place before asking about the specific situation.

"I feel like I see 'hope'!"

He Tiansi opened his mouth to say something inexplicable, and then he took the initiative to explain, "'Hope'—do you remember? It's the purple jasmine flower that Wu Feng gave us!"

Now Ming Ruoxing also remembered.He hurriedly looked closely at the direction He Tiansi was pointing at.

Sure enough, there was a very inconspicuous brick house in the shade of the woods.Next to the house, there are large patches of suspicious blue flowers growing.

The two immediately stepped down from the lighthouse and ran towards the hut. After 5 minutes, they finally found what they were looking for in the woods in the north.

He Tiansi was not mistaken, it was indeed a large field of purple jasmine bushes.Perhaps due to the difference in climate, the flower bushes in Jinyu Village have only grown a few flower buds, but a large area has already bloomed here.The sky-blue trumpet-shaped flowers bloom quietly under the gloomy evening sky, and the fragrance blends into the rain, flowing vertically and horizontally.

"……how come?"

He Tiansi plucked a flower and rubbed it in his hands in disbelief, "Wu Feng said that this blue mirage was cultivated by the doctor himself. Its appearance here shows that this island is closely related to the island. What happened to Wu Feng back then has something to do with it..."

He turned to Ming Ruoxing for advice.

And Ming Ruoxing only pointed to the hut next to him.

"Why don't you go in and take a look?"
