There are always bad guys trying to kill me

They arrived at the pier in the early morning of the fourth day, and what was waiting on the shore was a champagne-colored and white-striped medium-sized passenger ship. No crew came down to greet them, and no one urged them, just like a lifeless, lifeless ship. People's boats are moored there quietly.

On the window of the observation room on the upper level, there is a badge as rough as graffiti, which marks the ship as a mark of belonging like a brand.

It is very different from the badge composed of a lion and a sword blade that Huang Shang has seen in various exotic movies. It is more like the hieroglyphs in ancient times that have not yet been clearly evolved, and still have traces of the uncivilized period. icon.

"Huang Shang?"

Huang Shang looked at the pale gold badge reflecting the silver light in the morning light. He had only seen this rough and wild aura in one place, but this light color was completely different from the heavy color that flashed in his memory. Different, he asked in surprise: "...whose ship is this?"

"The guide boat of Yiyuxi Island." Duan Linshu explained, two crew members got off the boat, and after gesturing to him, they respectfully took away their luggage.

Duan Linshu walked towards the boat and said, "They will check whether there are any dangerous items in the luggage. If they find something missing after arriving, they will return it intact on the return journey."

Huang Shang's luggage was very simple, and he didn't care about it. He looked up slightly and could see the flag fluttering on the bow of the ship. The unfolded pattern did not represent any country's logo. However, they appeared in the high seas, did not comply with the requirements of international conventions, and were not afraid of any warship boarding inspections.

Push open the cabin door and enter the upper sightseeing room. Tables and chairs are placed by the window in the spacious room. Soft music can be heard. Duan Linshu sits casually by the side, like an ordinary lounge.

Even with the simple decoration on the table, the logo of the badge can be clearly seen, and Huang Shang's doubts in his heart are even more serious.

coincide?The bloody late night in the dream, the chaotic daydream, the scene that he hadn't dreamed of for many years, but reappeared when he was about to leave, he didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

The hull began to move imperceptibly, and the scene outside the window gradually receded.He touched his phone and sat opposite Duan Linshu.

Duan Linshu felt that Huang Shang was very quiet, which was very different from the usual state of being silent and serious, actually thinking about all kinds of whimsical ideas.He looked out the window, as if there was nothing to be concerned about in the unchanging seascape outside.

"seasick?"

Huang Shang's reaction was obviously a beat slower, and he replied: "No."

Then he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the financial number.

It happened to be more than four o'clock in China, and the finance department was basically waiting to get off work. Since noon, I began to pay attention to the unread messages on the phone, and finally saw the screen light up.

"Huang Shang!" His tone was a little too loud with excitement, and he lowered his voice slightly, "Are you on the boat?"

"Yes." Huang Shang looked at the seascape beyond which he couldn't tell the speed, and there were similar scenery on both sides.

"Are you coming back next Thursday?" Finance's voice suddenly became intermittent over there, "I want... see... okay?"

"What?" Huang Shang heard his voice change, "The signal is not good."

"..." Huang Shang waited for the financial news, but found that the phone was automatically cut off and lost contact.

"Why... no signal?"

Duan Linshu took the phone and looked at it, and said, "We have left the receiving range of Richard Island."

Then he took out another calling device and handed it to Huang Shang, and said regretfully, "The most you can do is say goodbye to Mr. Jin."

Huang Shang: ...

After briefly explaining the fact that his signal was not good, Huang Shang returned to a state of silence, unable to take his eyes off the clear badge at the bottom of the ashtray.

--you will die.

Yes, died, and then came back from the dead.

Daydreams can always clearly leave traces, but he only has three years of memory, and he is not familiar with that remote and wild place.

"Island..." Huang Shang didn't know how to start his question. There were many guesses in his mind, and each item involved painful suspicion.He paused and chose another topic: "Why did you join them."

"Join?" Duan Linshu chose to correct the word, "When I was born, I had to face becoming one of them, because my father's loyalty to them was more valued by the King than I imagined. Maybe many people Want to join, but am always willing to quit if possible."

He brazenly said these words on the escort ship of the island of sighs, even though the part-time waiter on the crew was pushing the door to serve them refreshments, he said without any scruples: "Many people do it for the future, wealth, I choose to join the King’s camp based on status or connections. But I am a person without much ambition, except for gaining precious friends, everything in Yiyuxi Island is meaningless to me.”

"I haven't been on this ship for a long time. It is almost unimaginable in the eyes of other people. There are too many interests involved between them. They are as inseparable as a marriage. They return at a certain time every year. Go to the island to inquire about various news, or simply ask the owner of Yiyuxi Island how to realize their wishes."

He smiled, thanked the crew members softly, and said jokingly: "They are like Aladdin who asks the magic lamp in fairy tales, and the queen who asks the magic mirror. They always look forward to supernatural power to help them see their confused future."

"The owner of the island is a family?" Huang Shang still expected to be the clansman of that person in his memory. Maybe their clansman would continue in this foreign land, inheriting those strange customs.

"It's not the family." Duan Linshu quickly vetoed his guess, "It's the king, the King. The future that everyone wants is in the hands of the King. It sounds more like a devil in mythology that causes people to fall, rather than a lord .”

"I have never met King." Duan Linshu said frankly, "I don't need any extraordinary strength or accumulated wealth, I just hope to get back my paranoid and willful father and dedicate it to King's loyalty."

This is the second time Duan Linshu mentions loyalty. For something like this, Huang Shang can't understand how to take it back after being allowed.

"I thought loyalty was just a kind of belief."

"It's different, because of my father's loyalty—" Duan Linshu sipped a sip of coffee with a wry smile, and chose the latter between continuing to conceal and being honest: "It's my mother's ashes."

There was shock and inquiry in Huang Shang's eyes, but he was still unable to speak.

"I only have the right to apply to the Supervisory Committee." Duan Linshu casually chatted about these past events, looking out at the vast sea outside the window, "They are a group of rigid and exclusive guys, even if you have the slightest dissatisfaction, they will sharpen you From the look in their eyes, when I made my request, they asked me: Is this going to quit?"

"I said... yes, Your Excellency. Then all the right to speak was dismissed, and all the non-voting members of the Supervisory Committee chose to leave. I was left in the empty conference hall like an offender who made an unreasonable request." Duan Lin Shu shrugged. Regarding these embarrassing events, there were only some ridiculous memories left, "Finally, on the fifth day of my stay on the island, when I was finally about to leave, Mr. Chris, the housekeeper, brought King's answer— —”

"King said, bring an interesting young man." He said this, and then took out a stack of typed documents from his briefcase, "Then the supervisor will send me a request that is more shocking than this simple sentence. People have nothing to say."

Huang Shang looked at the stack of printed English materials. There were ticks or crosses drawn after each paragraph, and there were some handwritings marked with Duan Linshu. It seemed that after a long period of checking, it was still impossible to determine whether they matched.

Duan Linshu said: "In fact, Fu Jinghong should be regarded as the most qualified candidate, at least 80% of the conditions are impeccable. I started to sort out the materials four years ago, and finally chose to submit them."

He sighed as if he was talking about something embarrassing: "When the Supervisory Committee arrived in China to conduct an investigation, it happened to send a famous British humorous script to FHK. From the investigation of the supervisory committee, but the whole script is very normal, there is no need for special attention, and advised him to continue. However, Fu Jinghong threw away the script angrily after reading the whole script, and claimed that he would never accept it. Any character who has an affair with a man."

"When they discovered that Fu Jinghong had a similar tendency, it was just the beginning. At that time, Fu Jinghong received all kinds of harassment on Weibo and private emails. Before I stopped him, he had already done irreparable things. Therefore, the Supervisory Committee The result of the review is: rejected."

"Then Richard told me that 80% of the Supervisory Committee members couldn't bear the homophobia shown by Fu Jinghong. I indulged his behavior of spontaneously showing affection on Weibo later because I wanted to know if it would continue like this. Is it possible for the Supervision Council to withdraw its previous judgment."

"My expectations were quickly shattered after the second application was rejected." Duan Linshu concluded his explanation, "Huang Shang, I can't just leave empty-handed alone, the time is coming The final deadline, I want to create another Fu Jinghong, so that you can show superb acting skills in any environment and conditions, but found that the supervisory committee gave you the green light."

"I can't continue to choose to wait when I know I can try." Duan Linshu said, "Because the supervision will give me a deadline, until I am 40 years old."

Huang Shang looked at Duan Linshu, a little surprised, and said, "You don't look like someone who is about to reach your forties."

Duan Linshu accepted his compliment with a slight smile and generally said: "Twenty to three, thirty to four, there is no difference."

Maybe it was because I was driving too far, and I couldn't tell it was seven o'clock in the evening when I got off the boat.On the wide island, after disembarking from the pier, you can see the winding road leading directly to the castle in the center of the island. This purely exotic style makes Huang Shang very uncomfortable.

There is no security check or body search as imagined, as if the other party can be determined to be harmless through a piece of information.The guide led them to the floor of the guest room. The castle is spacious and bright, with complicated and ancient murals everywhere.

The whole castle is quiet and quiet. Even if there are occasional waiters who appear in the corridor in response to the needs of visitors, they still keep their eyes on the ground. When Huang Shang and the others approach, they naturally stop and lower their eyes. Make eye contact with visitors.

The wide corridor leads to their guest rooms, and the waiters who appear in front of them have a strong sense of presence. Even if they stand aside respectfully waiting for them to pass, they still attract Huang Shang to stop.

"...Huang Shang?"

Huang Shang looked at the champagne on the cart in his hand, and asked casually, "Do you provide sex?"

Duan Linshu: ...

He couldn't help but look at the waiter, who had a strong physique, lowered his eyes, and put his hands firmly on the handles. The badge number was: J27.

"I'm sorry." Duan Linshu said to the guide, "My companion has to drink a glass of champagne every night to fall asleep, so when he is in a strange place, he always pays special attention to this wonderful thing that can make him sleep peacefully."

The guide had seen all kinds of quirks and requests, so he took out his notebook with understanding, wrote down the number of Duan Linshu's room, and put it on the side of the cart.

"J, wait for arrangements tonight."

The author has something to say:

Congratulations to everyone who has learned a little more about Duan Linshu, who is full of mysteries: he is on the verge of death. (……Huh)
