In an escape game...

After all the passengers got on the car, the car started.

No one seemed to notice that Aunt Wu was not in the car.

Even the two aunts who usually go in and out with Aunt Wu are as normal, as if Aunt Wu has never been in this car.

The tour guide stood at the front of the car with a small horn, and as usual, introduced the attractions we were going to visit today.

"We are going to Huanhai Island today. As the name suggests, it is a small island surrounded by the inland sea. But it is not a real island, but a 'land' formed by connecting buildings on the water."

"Not only can we appreciate the style of the island, but we can also patrol the sea with the houseboat and taste fresh seafood!"

The entertainment projects around the island are very attractive, and the passengers are very excited to hear it, and discuss it in a hurry.

"This route is very interesting. I come here twice a year. My favorite is the round-the-sea island. I never get tired of going there."

"Coincidentally, I have been here several times. I am very familiar with this route. Last year, I caught a top-quality fish on the island and gave it to the fisherman to cook for me. The aftertaste is endless!"

"What a coincidence? Then we can make an appointment for fishing when we arrive later."

"no problem."

There were two men in their thirties who were chatting. Yogurt Bing listened to them, looked at them, and found that they were wearing wedding rings on their hands.

The yogurt ice moved to Yun Xubai's side: "Brother Xu, are they suspicious?"

"You can observe again." Yun Xubai replied, but his eyes fell on the back of the driver's head.

He stared for about 30 seconds. The driver noticed the sight behind him and looked in the rearview mirror.

Yun Xubai saw the driver's eyes clearly for the first time through the rearview mirror.

Those were a pair of very ordinary eyes, neither big nor small, calm and calm, the kind of eyes without any memory points.

The driver quickly looked away and drove the car smoothly.

Yun Xubai lowered his eyelashes and sent a private message to the tour guide: "Sister Li, is this the first time you have cooperated with this driver?"

The tour guide was playing with his mobile phone, and quickly returned: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Based on your experience, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Tour guide: "Calm and introverted, less talking, driving steadily... He is quite caring. I used to see him bring cat food to feed stray cats in the company."

"Is he married?"

The tour guide replied: "No."

"Does he usually wear a ring?"

Tour guide: "I didn't pay attention to this, it seems that there is no such thing."

Yun Xubai thought for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Thank you, Sister Li, do you still remember our agreement last night?"

Tour guide: "What agreement?"

Yun Xubai looked at the phone screen, frowning slightly.

The tour guide is not awake?It shouldn't be, could it be that his probation is not in place?

After a while, another message was sent over there: "I lied to you, I remember it, I still remember that I am dead, get out of the car and follow me later, sister will try to help you."

Yun Xubai loosened his brows and smiled suddenly, his long eye tails and thick eyelashes formed a happy ink line.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, they arrived at Huanhai Island.

As the tour guide described, the island is composed of colorful water buildings, floating on the blue inland sea, and only a long water bridge is connected to the land.

As soon as he got off the car, Yun Xubai received a notification from the system:

[The player must go to the island. ]

The tour guide waved a small red flag to lead the way, and Yun Xubai relaxedly followed behind the team, walking towards the driver inadvertently.

He's only now noticing how low the driver's presence is.

The driver did not walk in a remote place, and occasionally chatted with passengers in a friendly manner, but there was a characteristic in the driver that made people ignore him unconsciously.

Yun Xubai quickened his pace, "sprained" his foot very naturally, and hit the driver's shoulder.

The driver quickly supported him, and he took the opportunity to look at the driver's left hand—all four fingers were covered with Band-Aids.

Yun Xubai had a clue in his mind, and didn't ask the driver why he was injured, but just smiled at him: "Thank you, it's a good thing you helped me, otherwise I would have stumbled."

The driver nodded to him, without any response: "It's okay, watch the road carefully."

On the long bridge over the water, the sky suddenly became overcast.

Yun Xubai smelled a storm coming.

At the other end of the long bridge, several islanders greeted them. There was a big pot standing next to it. There was a lot of firewood underneath, and the white soup in the pot was rich and bubbling.

The aroma was tangy, and the passengers didn't have a serious breakfast in the morning, and now they were so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs, and the smell made them even hungrier.

The uncle of the islander grinned at the corners of his lips, took a spoon full of soup and handed it to the tour guide.

The fish in the bowl was plump and mouth-watering. The tour guide took a sip of the soup and said with a smile: "This is a local custom around the island. Guests who enter the island have to cook a pot of miscellaneous fish soup. The hot bowl of soup is delicious. My heart is warmed."

"If you don't drink this Irishima soup, the islanders will think that you look down on their food and will be angry."

The islanders enthusiastically spooned soup to the tourists, but Yun Xubai saw a trace of lifelessness in their brows.

Bowl after bowl of soup was passed back, no need to be reminded, all the players were nervous and dared not drink the soup after receiving the bowl.

The islanders will get angry if they don't drink it, and it's no good for general npcs to be angry.

They have seen the food in the "attraction" in the ancient city. The fish soup is not necessarily made of fish, and they don't know what will happen after drinking it.

The players were holding hot bowls, in a dilemma.

Moreover, this bowl of fish soup is really delicious!

It looked delicious, and smelling the fragrance, their stomachs gurgled endlessly.

Montage pressed his empty stomach: "This is not a heart-broken grass crane with a red crown. You won't die immediately after drinking it."

Xiaozheng frowned: "If you talk about it again, I will be shaken."

Passengers slurped soup and fish, and praised the deliciousness while eating, constantly stimulating the players.

"Why don't you guys drink soup, do you dislike our fish?!"

When the islanders found that they hadn't had any soup, they immediately lowered their faces and said harshly in Mandarin with a strong accent: "Every fish is a gift from the Neptune God, and the Neptune God will be angry if food is wasted!"

"We don't welcome such people into the island!"

These islanders have been exposed to the sun, rain, wind and rain all year round, with dark skin, piercing eyes, and an inexplicable shadow of prey.

All of them are tall and big, and they are especially good at bluffing people when they are angry.

Yogurt Bing even suspected that if he dared to disobey the islanders, they would throw him down to feed the fish in minutes.

The players did not express their views, and the islanders had a tough attitude. The two sides were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was anxious.

The tour guide walked up to Yun Xubai calmly, intending to block the sight of the islanders with his body and let Yun Xubai pour the soup into her empty bowl.

This movement of the tour guide just distracted Yun Xubai's attention. In a place where he couldn't see, Gu Dong was stared at by the islanders until his scalp became numb, and he took a sip of the fish soup by accident.

The islanders were dissatisfied and still stared at Gu Dong.

As soon as the fish soup was eaten, Gu Dong shivered all over, and dared not take a second sip.

On the other side, Yun Xubai, who understood the tour guide's intention, shook his head slightly, raised his hand and poured all the fish soup into the sea water.

This move made all players gasp.

The islanders could see it clearly, and were furious at this scene.

The leading islander uncle picked up the harpoon and shouted aggressively: "You have done something that offends the gods, you are guilty!"

Yun Xubai's standing posture looks very relaxed, like a bamboo, which is in stark contrast to the islanders who are jumping with anger.

He stacked the bowl on top of the tour guide's, without changing his face: "I don't think I'm guilty."

"I don't know how to repent! People like you don't deserve to be on the island!" The islanders were furious and stared at Yun Xubai fiercely.

The crispy salted fish trembled in fright: "It's over...Brother Xu will be thrown down to feed the fish."

"We can't just ask for it from the Inner Sea God, but never return it. Sooner or later, all resources will be exhausted."

Yun Xubai pointed to the surface of the water. Under the clear water, dozens of small fish attracted by the fish soup formed circle after circle and were eating the fish.

"I just enshrined my share to the Inner Sea God to show my respect, what is the crime?" Yun Xubai lowered his eyes, his expression a little hurt: "I didn't expect to be blamed for respecting the gods, maybe I used the wrong way, I was reckless."

The islanders did not expect his original intention to be so noble, and the remorse and shame intertwined on his dark face were quite wonderful.

Islanders, you look at me and I look at you. After discussing a few words in dialect, they bowed to Yun Xubai at the same time: "We misunderstood you, I'm sorry. We are deeply moved by your behavior, and we welcome Guests like you come to the island to play."

"Wow wow wow..."

The players stared at each other, pouring out the fish soup in their hands one after another.

"We are also very touched, so this bowl of fish soup is also enshrined to the Inner Sea God! You are welcome!"

The islanders were dumbfounded, but they didn't know how to refute.

Tried to refill them with soup, but found that the pot was empty—the passengers ate bowl after bowl.

The islanders had no choice but to welcome them into the island.

The tour guide led the way, and introduced loudly: "We will visit the houseboats on the island next. You can choose the houseboats you like later and go out to sea for a cruise."

Montage walked beside Yun Xubai, and sighed: "You guy, you can always find the point of entry. The islanders believe in the God of the Inner Sea, so talk to them with faith. Naturally, these islanders will not blame a respectful people they believe in."

Yogurt Bing deeply agrees: "That's right, I don't think even if I think of this method, I don't have the courage to do it."

As they walked, Crispy Salted Fish noticed that Gu Dong had fallen behind, and made a retching sound from time to time. She frowned and turned around: "Gu Dong, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Dong's face was pale, and he whispered, "I was stared at by the islanders and drank a sip of soup. I wanted to vomit it out, but I couldn't."

"Did you drink the soup?!" Crispy Salted Fish's expression changed drastically: "Do you know what the soup is made of? You just drink it!"

Gu Dong felt his head buzzing, and his tone became more and more urgent: "I also know that I shouldn't drink it, but at that time, it was like a ghost... What can I do, I can only spit it out."

"But it's strange. I usually press the tip of my tongue or press my throat with my fingers to induce vomiting, but now there is no response at all. It seems that the lower part of my throat is anesthetic."

Crispy Salted Fish also knew that the dungeon was full of weirdness, it was hard to guard against, and there was always a trick, so it was pointless to blame him.

She thought for a while and stopped: "Don't worry, open your mouth and show me."

Gu Dong coughed twice: "I just took a sip of soup, what can I see here?"

Crispy Salted Fish was about to explain, when he accidentally saw Gu Dong's fingers, his heart skipped a beat: "Why is there blood on your fingers?"

Gu Dong raised his hand and found two cuts on the pads of the index finger and middle finger, and blood flowed all over his hand, but he couldn't feel the pain at all.

"What... what's going on here!" Gu Dong's eyes widened: "I just stretched out my hand and pressed my throat, and didn't do anything..."

Crispy Salted Fish couldn't care less about lowering his voice: "Open your mouth and let me see!"
