Chapter 114 The Second Death

The sky above this nameless island was covered with thick dark clouds, violent storms, lightning and thunder, and the fierce winds bent the coconut trees on the island.

There are only 15 people left on the island now, Chu Qingqiu, Ye Fan, Ye Rou, Liu Yunzhi, Li Changqing, Zhou Yi, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, Wang Ziwen, Zhang Ziling, Huang Mingxuan, Zhao Fang, Sun Shishan, Wu Tian, ​​and Shen Xuan, a total of ten men and five women.

We are now in the lobby of the hotel. The hotel has three floors in total. The first floor is the lobby, and the second and third floors are guest rooms, forming a ring shape.

The girls live on the third floor and the boys live on the second floor. Each room is equipped with a bathroom and the facilities are quite good. Zhou Yi's family has a good background.

The air was extremely heavy. Zhou Yi finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't know this would happen. I'm really sorry."

"What's the point of saying all that? We're all going to die on this ghost island!" Zhao Fang was a little collapsed. Her spirit had reached its limit.

"We only have enough food for seven days. We must escape from this island within these seven days, or contact the police and ask them to come to the island to rescue us." Ye Fan had a clear mind and did not lose his reason even in such a dangerous situation.

"There seems to be some kind of man-eating monster in the sea, and we don't have a motor boat now. If we want to leave the island and return to the shore, we can only cut down the trees on the island to make a raft." Chu Qingqiu said calmly.

He didn't care whether he could return to the shore or not, because this was just an illusion. What he wanted to do most now was to figure out what the monster in the sea was and who the murderer on the island was. Perhaps by unraveling these mysteries, he could leave this illusion world.

"We can't rest alone tonight. Otherwise, if we are left alone, we may be killed again by the murderer. I suggest that we form groups of at least three and take turns to keep watch. This will be safer." Ye Fan suggested.

Zhou Yi sighed and said, "Ye Fan is right. We have no idea who the murderer is now. We must be cautious."

"Maybe the murderer has died on the previous boat. There's no need to be too nervous." The speaker was Sun Shishan, a young man with dyed yellow hair, wearing a colorful shirt, and looking a bit cynical.

"Then you can stay alone." Chu Qingqiu said sarcastically.

"Hey, I'm just joking, don't be so serious." Sun Shishan smiled. He would not joke about his own life. He just wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

"It's decided. Everyone, divide yourself into groups. We'll discuss how to leave this island tomorrow morning." Everyone was exhausted after playing for a whole day, and they had heard the screams of so many classmates when they died, which made them feel tired.

Chu Qingqiu, Ye Fan, and Ye Rou stayed in one room as a group. Zhou Yi, Zhang Ziling, Huang Mingxuan, and Wu Tian were in another group.

Li Changqing, Liu Yunzhi, Wang Ziwen, and Sun Shishan formed a group, and finally the remaining four girls formed a group.

After forming the team, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Ye Fan and Ye Rou went to their respective rooms and took the mats and quilts from their beds to Chu Qingqiu's room. They would sleep on the floor here tonight.

However, none of the three could sleep at this time.

"Brother, do you think we can get home safely?" Ye Rou asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, we will be able to go back. Qingqiu and I will protect you no matter what. Those murderers will not have the chance to hurt you." Ye Fan looked firm and comforted Ye Rou.

Chu Qingqiu was looking at the painting stained with black ink hanging in his room. The outline of a person could be vaguely seen in the painting, which was a portrait, but it was impossible to tell who the painting was of.

"Ye Fan, can you tell who this painting depicts?" Chu Qingqiu called out to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan stared at the black painting, frowned, and said, "It's so dark, how can I tell who this is? But, I seem to have seen this painting somewhere before?"

Chu Qingqiu's eyes lit up. It was indeed Ye Fan. This slightly weird painting was indeed related to Ye Fan. "Can you recall where you have seen this painting? Perhaps this painting hides the truth of all the mysteries."

Although there was no basis for it, Chu Qingqiu's intuition told him that this painting was definitely not simple.

"I can't remember it for a while. Let's take a rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. Call me in three hours."

After saying that, Ye Fan covered himself with the quilt and lay on the ground to sleep.

There were thunder and lightning outside the hotel. The golden lightning illuminated the endless darkness as if it were day. In the instant when the golden lightning emitted its light, densely packed strange-looking creatures appeared on the sea. Some of those creatures had red eyes, and some had green eyes. They were like balls of flame, all looking in the direction of the island.

Ye Rou gave Chu Qingqiu a kiss and smiled sweetly: "Qingqiu, please, I have to go to bed now."

"You guys go to sleep first. I'm not sleepy yet. Let me keep watch alone tonight. You guys get a good sleep." Chu Qingqiu hasn't slept for many years and has long been accustomed to it. Not to mention one day, even staying up for seven days and seven nights wouldn't have much impact on him.

"Love you!" Ye Rou made a heart gesture and then lay down on Chu Qingqiu's wooden bed, which was much more comfortable than lying on the floor.

Chu Qingqiu looked outside the window at the huge raindrops hitting the window, the sound of pattering, the whistling of the wind, the crackling of thunder and lightning, and not only that, mixed with the low roar of a monster. Although the lion's roar was basically covered by the sound of wind and thunder, Chu Qingqiu's hearing was extremely sensitive, so he was able to hear it.

"I was pulled into this illusion world when I was going through a heavenly tribulation. Before I entered this illusion world, the Eye of Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have spewed out a lot of black mist. Does this black mist have anything to do with the monster in the sea?"

"How did Wang Yan die? Is the murderer really among us?"

Chu Qingqiu was shrouded in mist, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

This world is extremely real. If Chu Qingqiu had not firmly believed that his experience was not false, he might have thought that his adventures in the world of Zhutian were just an illusion.

"what!!!"

Everyone was awakened this morning by a shrill scream.

Hearing the scream, Chu Qingqiu realized that something had happened and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

"Qingqiu, wait for me." Ye Fan's hair was messy and he didn't have time to take care of it. He quickly put on his slippers and caught up with Chu Qingqiu.

"Someone's dead." Chu Qingqiu's face was solemn. He saw a pale corpse lying in the room where Li Changqing's group was.

Wang Ziwen covered her mouth with her hands, refusing to let herself vomit.

Li Changqing and Liu Yunzhi's faces turned pale. They never thought that the classmate who slept so close to them would suddenly die. If the murderer wanted to kill them, they would have become cold corpses. Thinking of this, they felt cold hands and feet and weak all over. "Ugh~" The girls also rushed over. Zhao Fang, who had freckles on her face and pigtails, started to dry heave, and her stomach was full of acid.

"Aren't there people on night watch? Why are there still people dying?!"

Zhao Fang was very upset. If keeping vigil was useless, then they would be lambs to be slaughtered.

"Didn't you notice anything wrong when you were on guard last night?" Chu Qingqiu asked sharply, narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know. I was the first one to keep watch yesterday. I went to bed after the watch. He was not dead at that time." Li Changqing spread his hands and said innocently.

"I don't know either. I was the second person on watch yesterday. After the night watch, I saw him sleeping soundly. It definitely has nothing to do with me." Liu Yunzhi also hurriedly denied that Sun Shishan died during the time he was on watch.

"Ziwen, did you notice anything wrong yesterday?" Ye Fan and Wang Ziwen have a good relationship. Since nothing happened to Li Changqing and Liu Yunzhi, there is a high probability that there is a problem with Wang Ziwen.

Wang Ziwen shook her head and said with a pale face: "I was the third person to keep watch last night. After the night was over, I called Sun Shishan to ask him to continue the night watch, and then I went to sleep at my place."

"How is it possible that none of you three noticed anything unusual? I think the murderer is among you three. Lock them up and we'll be safe." Zhao Fang pointed at Li Changqing, Liu Yunzhi, and Wang Ziwen with spit flying.

"Bullshit, I'm not the murderer, why do you want to lock me up?" Liu Yunzhi was as aggressive as a hedgehog. If he was really locked up, he would be waiting to die like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Li Changqing said in a low voice: "I am not the murderer either. I have no conflicts with him and I have no reason to kill him."

Wang Ziwen also quickly expressed her opinion, saying: "I am not the murderer, don't lock me up."

"Okay, Zhao Fang, stop making trouble here. The three of them should not be the murderer. This is a murder, not a chicken. If the murderer is really one of the three of them, the other two cannot be unaware of it."

"Let's take a look at Sun Shishan's body before making any conclusion." Chu Qingqiu now speculated that perhaps the one who killed Wang Yan and Sun Shishan was not a human, but some kind of mysterious monster!

Chu Qingqiu walked up to Sun Shishan and stripped him of all his clothes.

"Fuck, what are you doing? Qingqiu?!" Ye Fan was startled by Chu Qingqiu's sudden action.

The girls covered their eyes and kept cursing, "What are you doing, Chu? There are girls here."

"Sorry, you girls should leave first. I have to examine his body carefully to see where the fatal wound is. And what weapon was used to cause the injury. Only in this way can we gradually solve the mystery of the murderer."

Chu Qingqiu looked serious, and several girls couldn't bear to watch and left quickly.

"There are no wounds on the body. How did he die?" Chu Qingqiu turned Sun Shishan over and did not see a drop of blood.

"Could he have been poisoned to death?" Ye Fan thought of this possibility. If Sun Shishan was poisoned to death, there would naturally be no wounds on his body.

Chu Qingqiu opened Sun Shishan's eyelids and took a look. Although the black pupils had shrunk a little and the whites of the eyes occupied most of the pupils, it could be seen that he was not poisoned.

"There are no wounds and it's not poisoning, that's weird. Could he have died of suffocation? But that doesn't make sense. People who die of suffocation usually have purple faces and lips, and dilated pupils. Sun Shishan's body doesn't match that at all."

Chu Qingqiu opened Shattered Stone Mountain's mouth, and his pupils suddenly trembled: "His tongue is gone!"

"Without the tongue, he will become mute at most, but he won't die." Ye Fan asked doubtfully.

"Are we really all going to die on this island?" Wang Ziwen said pessimistically.

"Who of you farted? It stinks!" Liu Yunzhi said with an unhappy look on his face.

"?" Chu Qingqiu didn't react at first, because he didn't smell any strange smell in the room. Until Liu Yunzhi said this, he felt carefully and indeed found a faint odor in the room.

"Liu Yunzhi, your nose is sharper than a dog's. You can smell things that I can't even smell." Chu Qingqiu couldn't help but give Liu Yunzhi a thumbs up.

"You're the fucking dog, tell me if it was you who farted?"

"Silly dog, this is not fart, it's the smell of a corpse!" Chu Qingqiu rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"The smell of a corpse? Isn't this wrong?" Ye Fan seemed to remember something and was a little shocked.

"Ye Fan, it seems you have thought of it too." The moment Chu Qingqiu smelled the stench of the corpse, a terrible guess came to his mind.

"What are you guys talking about here? What's going on?" Zhou Yi said a little irritably.

"Ye Fan, you go ahead and tell me."

Ye Fan nodded, his face solemn, and said, "Weren't Li Changqing and the others the first, second, and third people on guard? Each person kept watch for an average of three hours, which means that Sun Shishan, who was on guard last, should have started his watch at around 5 a.m."

"Before, the three of them said that Sun Shishan was sleeping when they were on guard, so we thought that Sun Shishan died while he was on guard, but in fact, this was not the case."

"It's only 8 o'clock in the morning, and it rained heavily last night, so the weather is relatively cool. The stench of corpse will not be emitted in two or three hours. This means that his actual death time is much earlier than two or three hours."

"It is very likely that Sun Shishan had died before Li Changqing was on vigil. This can also explain why Li Changqing and the others didn't feel anything when he died."

"If I'm not mistaken, Ziwen, you called Sun Shishan last night, but you went to bed before he woke up, right?"

Wang Ziwen scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I was so sleepy last night that I didn't really pay attention to whether Sun Shishan got up to keep watch."

"Ye Fan's analysis is correct. Sun Shishan may have died in his bed before your vigil began, but you mistakenly thought he was just asleep."
