Neverland

"In that case..." Yan Cen said, "Then ask Toya herself."

Xu Muzhou was taken aback for a moment, thinking that if emotions could be visualized, he would definitely be full of question marks now.

He reached out and pulled Yan Cen's shoulder, and repeated emphatically: "No, I mean, I don't believe him."

"I know." Yan Cen said, first helped Xu Muzhou tuck his clothes, then stuffed the bits and pieces he found into his arms without any explanation, bent down and picked him up again.

Xu Muzhou grabbed the fallen notebook and protested, "Hey hey——"

"I want to hug." Yan Cen said confidently.

Xu Muzhou: "..."

Xu Muzhou looked at Yan Cen suspiciously. He always felt that there was something wrong with Yan Cen after he woke up this time. Although Yan Cen loved him before, no matter which world he was in, he would protect him intentionally or unintentionally. Not to this extent.

But Xu Muzhou sized him up for a while, and carefully recalled the situation just now, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He pondered for a long time, and finally he could only come to one conclusion—maybe first nights are special Yes, Xu Muzhou thought silently, it is understandable to have slight personality deviations after in-depth communication.

Xu Muzhou couldn't resist Yan Cen, and he was not a hypocritical person, so he just let him go.

Yan Cen bent down, motioned for Xu Muzhou to hold the kerosene lamp in his hand, then carried him up and weighed him up, then turned his head and walked out of the basement.

"Cleaning up tasks is originally a process of information collection." Yan Cen said: "True, false, ambiguous. As long as information such as this appears, it must have meaning - if you don't believe him, then what he said On the contrary, it can give you another way of thinking.”

Yan Cen's steps were steady, and his voice was also steady. The kerosene lamp was shaking, pulling the shadows of the two of them on the wall of the trail.

Most of the kerosene lamp was blocked by Xu Muzhou's body. When it was shaking, a small piece of light would shine on Yan Cen's side face from time to time. Looking at this small piece of light, he could clearly see a shallow bloodstain on Yan Cen's neck.

"Lies also have meaning." Yan Cen did not look down at him, but looked ahead, and continued: "What we are looking for is a person's obsession—in fact, lying itself is a clear attitude."

Makes sense, Xu Muzhou thought.

Yan Cen's words really inspired him. Human beings are complex creatures, especially emotions.Then in the absence of "right or wrong", there is no need to determine "true" to be valid.

"It seems to be right." Xu Muzhou said.

Xu Muzhou pondered for a while, then withdrew his arm around Yan Cen's neck, hung the kerosene lamp in his hand on his wrist, and opened the sailing diary in his arms.

Yan Cen glanced down, fearing that his hands would shake the paper, so he slowed down.

Xu Muzhou felt his eyes hurt when he saw almost half of the place just now. Although Neverland has a language system, it can only translate and cannot reprint the words that have been soaked in water. Xu Muzhou simply skipped it. From the front, start looking from the back half.

The content of each diary is pretty much the same, first leave a line to write the date, and then write what fish was caught today, how long is it before the pier, etc., occasionally there are some quarrels and curses among the crew.

When I turned to the last ten or so pages, the handwriting on the note suddenly became clear, and it looked like it hadn't been soaked in sea water.

Xu Muzhou finally came to his senses, and impatiently raised his hand to illuminate this small area brighter.

From this page of the diary, it can be clearly seen that the sailor has narrowly escaped from the storm and arrived at the land under his feet. "God" three times.

Xu Muzhou looked down patiently, trying to find some clues that he came here, but it was about not long after he regained consciousness. This diary was written in a very chaotic manner, with three or two sentences upside down, almost useless Things, only know that everyone on this ship was lost in the shipwreck, and he was the only one left alive.

From the second page, this diary finally has content, which describes the process of him going to the island and finding the castle. According to the content of this diary, he was starving and cold at the time, and almost froze to death on the island. Finally, Discovered the castle at a close call.

He was similar to what Yan Cen said, he also climbed in through the window, and it was the "master of the castle" who saved him.

The crew described Toya in the diary very straightforwardly, as if they saw an angel sent by God to save him.

——Of course, based on Toya's white body, she really looks like this.

"It's interesting." Xu Muzhou smiled and said, "Everyone thinks that Toya is the incarnation of the devil, but suddenly a crowd of onlookers who don't know why broke in and called him an angel."

"Do you think Toya might look at him differently because of this psychological gap?" Yan Cen asked.

"I keep this attitude, but I just think it's possible." Xu Muzhou said: "Put yourself in the shoes of me, if it were me, I would have a higher-than-average affection for this stranger."

The diary was not over yet. Xu Muzhou read two pages, both of which described life in the castle. According to Joseph, the crew member, Toya mysteriously disappeared for two days after she rescued him. He never saw Toya. Ya's whereabouts.

But Joseph was sure that Toya hadn't left the castle, because every morning, there would be a bottle of fresh water and a piece of black bread in the hall to feed him.

Xu Muzhou thought about Toya's situation, and felt that the situation he encountered should be similar to that of this crew member. Toya probably hid in the room, and only came out to take a look around when outsiders were resting.

Joseph stayed in the castle until the third day before Toya reappeared.

But the description style of this diary suddenly changed a lot. He didn't write the date, he didn't pray as usual, and he didn't even record his daily life. He only wrote two sentences in the full text.

[She is really beautiful. 】

【I will be eternally grateful for this rescue. 】

"Her?" Xu Muzhou was a little strange.

"What?" Yan Cen asked.

"In the diary, write about Toya." Xu Muzhou said succinctly: "I wrote about her next to the word female."

Yan Cen's sensitivity to English is a little low, he didn't realize anything for a while, frowned, and asked habitually: "Is it a typo?"

"Probably not." Xu Muzhou said: "This thing was translated from Neverland, but if it is based on the original version, the main words for men and women in English are different, so there shouldn't be a typo."

Although this is what he said, it does not rule out the possibility that Joseph may be wrong.The lights in the castle were dim, and if he had a preconceived impression of Toya, it would be reasonable to be wrong.

But even so, Xu Muzhou still asked a lot.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou said, "Do you think Toya looks like a woman?"

"No." Yan Cen said very firmly: "It's a man—he has no possibility of becoming a woman."

The latter sentence was purely redundant, Xu Muzhou pondered for a while, and asked again: "Then do you think there are women in this castle?"

"From the perspective of the environment, there shouldn't be any." Yan Cen said very cautiously: "I probably looked around when you were asleep, and the things in the castle are all for one person, and there is no trace of a second person's life. "

Xu Muzhou thought about it again, but he couldn't come up with a reason, so he let go of the matter first, and could only temporarily think that Joseph was wrong.

After that, the number of diaries decreased significantly. Xu Muzhou hurriedly flipped through the remaining pages, but found no more effective clues.

After he finished reading the diary, Yan Cen just walked out of the basement door and carried him back to the hall.

It was getting late outside, and the exact time could not be seen.

Judging from the strange black wall clock on the door, it had been almost four hours since they entered the basement.

"Has it been that long?" Xu Muzhou asked strangely.

"No." Yan Cen said, "About two hours."

"That is to say, in this time and space, there are only twelve hours a day." Xu Muzhou jumped out of Yan Cen's arms, stood in the hall and looked at the clock for a while.

"...Where did the missing twelve hours go?" Xu Muzhou asked to himself.

Time is an absolutely fair thing in this world, and it is also the only scale that can prove the world line. Logically speaking, there will be no mistakes.

It's like the old-fashioned school in the internship mission. Even if the school turns into another world at night, when eight hours pass, it will return to its original state after dawn, which has no effect on time itself.

This castle is only far away from the crowd, and it is not a space outside the world line like Neverland, so why does it have its own time flow rate.

Xu Muzhou looked at it for a while, thought for a while, and handed all the things in his hand to Yan Cen.

"I'll go talk to Toya." Xu Muzhou said, "Go back and have a rest."

Yan Cen frowned subconsciously, and wanted to refuse, but Xu Muzhou reached out and tapped the side of his neck.

"Get something to wipe and disinfect, and the two wounds are all red." Xu Muzhou withdrew his hand and continued: "Tuoya is afraid of you—although I don't know why, but it's better to be cautious. Go ask him about the situation, if he doesn't want to tell me, I won't ask. They are all in the same castle, so he won't do anything to me."

Yan Cen saw that he had planned it long ago, so he didn't say anything else, he untied the hydrangea flower that hadn't made any progress from his hand and put it on Xu Muzhou's wrist, then took his hand and kissed it.

"Leave if you can't." Yan Cen said: "If something goes wrong, end the mission and ensure safety-I don't need to say any more."

"Preaching is still unnecessary." Xu Muzhou squeezed his hand funny and said, "I will remember, Teacher Yan."
