Alien Executioner

An Xiao stayed close to her brother, approached the window, and looked up at the brilliant Milky Way. She was very excited at the moment, as this was her first time attending a family banquet.
An Ran was silent, and then the housekeeper Ling opened the door and walked in, also pushing a small dining cart.
"Would you like to drink something?" The housekeeper smiled.
Ling is undoubtedly a very qualified housekeeper. She is not only considerate, but also able to appear when needed. She knows An Xiao's excitement and An Ran's heavy heart, so she appeared appropriately and brought drinks. ②
"A glass of orange juice will be fine." An Xiao looked up. "If not, let's have a cocktail."⊙
Ling looked at An Ran.
"Whatever."
"This is not like your style, young master. You should ask for half a small glass of Bordeaux or champagne. This is a bit surprising to me." Ling shook the red wine in her hand.
"If possible, I would like to smoke a cigarette." An Ran took the wine glass and stared at the liquid in the glass, "But my mother might be unhappy if I do that." Qi
"Madam really hates smoking on airplanes." Ling left with a smile, and the trolley made a slight noise as it slid.
"Brother, is that island really called the Island of Death?" When there were only two people left in the box, An Xiao finally couldn't help but ask, his eyes flickering with curiosity.
"Well, I think that's the name, because I don't know any other name."
"This name is a bit strange."
"But it's just a name isn't it?"
"That's true, but there must be a deeper meaning." An Xiao turned on the light on the seat and took out a tablet from his bag.
She clumsily plugged the data cable on the seat into the port of the tablet. The computer screen flashed a white light and successfully connected to Zero's system.
"Zero, I want some information about the Island of Death."
Almost in an instant, the screen flashed with photos and detailed information including the geographic location.
An Ran also looked over. He had read the information before coming here, but strangely enough, even Ling didn't know much inside information about this island.
An Xiao's fingers swiped across the screen quickly, and soon she found a black-and-white photo. The photo, taken by V衣qi紦巴玲Qi Liuyi, did not seem to be from a satellite, but a crude landing photo.
The photo dates back to two hundred years ago. It shows a huge landing ship, which seems to be the first time the island was discovered.
The captain was Don Hilde, a mixed-race man with half the blood of Region One and Region Three, and a senior colonel at the time. He and the battleship named Earl Ent belonged to the Federation Northern Fleet, but somehow they came to a small island in the southernmost part of the Pacific Ocean.
He discovered the island at that time, but the Federal Parliament at that time did not care about such a small island, so Don Hilde left after staying on the island for half a month.
This also became the only relevant information about the island.
But this is not what An Xiao cares about.
Because among the information Zero gave him, there was a diary about this colonel. The content of the diary was completely in the language of the first district and was a bit sloppy.
An Xiao read with great difficulty, but still understood a few sentences.
[When I arrived on this island, I felt a chill...]
[A lot of plants... weird, strange, singing? ]
[We heard a lot of strange sounds. These sounds seemed to have no distance between them. They never changed from beginning to end...]
[At night...shadows...]
[Klin (Ned) tried to find traces of indigenous people living on this island... We dare not rashly go deep into this island because... the shadow... we are afraid...]
[Trying to contact the fleet... but strangely there is no signal here, we decided to leave tomorrow...]
[There is no sun here... The whole day is shrouded in darkness...]
[I thought of the story my grandmother told me, about the family that was built from the shadows...]
[The federal government didn’t care about this at all, and the commander also scoffed at it. In order to have a better chance to learn about this island, I tried to contact the Island Planning Bureau and the Land Supervision Department...]
An Xiao rubbed her eyes. She could only understand a few words at most. Most of the words were either illegible or completely incomprehensible.
But no matter what, this seems to be the entire description of the Dead Island.
The outside world knows almost nothing about it, and even the information provided by Zero is very vague.
Chapter 296 Presbyterian Church (XVI)
An Xiao is full of anticipation for the upcoming trip. For her, the secrets within the family are very tempting. Living in such a fast-paced urban era, when faced with a background story like that in a novel, how can it not be exciting?
But in the past years, I had to stay alone at home, and could only chat with my brother who was far away in the Pacific Islands through video to learn more about the so-called family banquet.
In fact, she had known for a long time that the island could not be spread outside, so her brother's ability to video call her was just using some of the privileges of the family.
But this time it's completely different.
"So... Brother, who are the elders in the sanatorium?" An Xiao remembered this.
In order to greet these family elders later, An Xiao decided to make preparations in advance, and his brother who often attended banquets would be the best mentor.
An Ran thought about it and honestly couldn't remember clearly, but it didn't matter. His memory was not too fragmented and he would remember it when he saw the person.
"I don't remember." He answered simply.
"What?" An Xiao was dumbfounded, but she thought about how her brother's memory had indeed been problematic in recent years and he had been sent to a nursing home for a month due to some personal reasons.
"So is there anything I should be aware of?"
"Just don't run around. If I'm not mistaken, you should be the protagonist of the family banquet." An Ran expressed his opinion.
"No way, I'm not prepared at all. If I had known earlier, I would have sat with my sister. She would definitely know." An Xiao could only sigh helplessly.
"She knows, but that doesn't mean she will reveal some secrets to you." An Ran knew her sister's naivety and didn't want her to be involved in the incident.
An Ran knew very well that letting An Xiao know the deepest secrets of the family was actually worse than knowing those secrets himself.
He raised his head. The phagocytes in his body were actually a little impatient. However, due to the recent changes in his body, his control over it was even stronger. As a result, he was able to express more emotions with this body. He would not collapse because of it and was gradually transforming into a normal person.
"No... this is actually not normal..." For some reason, An Ran had such thoughts in his mind.
At the westernmost part of the Island of Death, a roaring sound passed by.
There is no airport here, but there is a long runway. Countless figures are gradually disappearing. Looking up, the moon cannot be seen. They are waiting for something.
The super aircraft "550W" tore through the clouds, a huge black shadow emerged from the night, and a huge devil appeared in front of everyone.
The plane slid down the runway with dazzling sparks, and when it braked to a stop, a convoy of cars stopped opposite the cabin door.
The hatch opened, and the crowd below raised their heads, all with burning eyes.
After a figure walked out of the cabin door first, the old man leading the group below took a step forward. He opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the current head of the family, An Mochen.
"Long time no see my old friend." The man hugged the old man.
"We just met last year," the old man said with a smile.
Next, Mrs. An's wife Xu Yuqing and her eldest daughter An Xin got off the plane, followed by An Ran and An Xiao, and the last to get off were the driver and housekeeper Ling.
Thick fog completely enveloped the island, filling the sky with white. The moonlight meandered in the fog in distinct layers, and projected onto the ground like a pool of sticky milky white liquid.
There are many such milky white puddles on the ground. Looking at the island, it doesn’t seem to have life. The fog swallows everything and the starry sky is not visible.
After separating from the patriarch, the old man looked up and saw Xu Yuqing, and immediately came over and stretched out his hand:
"Ma'am, we meet again."
"Shanlan, you are always the same." The lady also smiled.
"Who is he?" An Xiao asked softly beside An Ran.
She felt uncomfortable as soon as she got off the plane. She felt like this was a place completely abandoned by the world and everything was separated by fog.
The diary just now didn't mention that there was such a strange fog on this island.
"Shanlan, it's the housekeeper."
"Didn't the former butler die?"
"He's not our butler, he's from the sanatorium." An Ran said calmly, "He's been here for a while, serving the elders of the sanatorium as their butler."
When the brother and sister were whispering, the old man named Shanlan also noticed them. The moment he saw An Xiao, his eyes flashed.
"Miss, Second Young Master, the seniors miss you all the time." The old man smiled implicitly and turned to An Xiao.
"This must be the Third Miss."
"Hello, Grandpa Shanlan." An Xiao smiled gracefully.
"Please get in the car." The old man pointed to the sedan chair behind.
"Are they all here?" An Mochen raised his eyebrows at the old man and handed him a cigarette.
The old man was stunned, but it was not the first time that the owner of the house offered him a cigarette. He took it very skillfully and laughed, "When have they not come?"
"Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm referring to the newly invited guests."
"Only two have not arrived yet."
"Then no need to wait." After saying that, An Mochen got into the sedan chair. Before waiting for his wife to enter, he hurriedly threw away the cigarette he had just lit.
An Xiao rushed to sit in before her brother. She suddenly felt very scared. There was something on the island spying on her. That feeling tightened her heart.
An Ran closed the car door and noticed her sister's nervousness.
"what happened?"
"Too nervous?" The father in front turned around and smiled at his daughter, "This is how it is for your first time here. Just treat it as a visit to relatives."
"No..." An Xiao still didn't tell the reason.
She looked past her brother beside her and out the window. The car was driving quickly on the mountain, followed by a long convoy behind.
Someone must be watching her...For some reason, she believed this guess. That kind of peeping was inexplicable, but it was very real.
An Ran closed his eyes, but didn't care about the upcoming banquet at all. The family banquet would last for three whole days, but that didn't matter.
He listened to the convoy behind him, but could only hear a few heartbeats.
Those waiters had no heartbeat.
After reaching this conclusion and confirming his guess, he looked at his sister in the front seat. An Xin was sitting upright with her eyes closed, but she opened her eyes when she felt she was being spied on.
She turned around and looked at An Ran, and they could understand something from each other's eyes.
Don’t worry too much… This is what my sister seemed to be telling me.
In the following time, he was not idle, but tried to use his hearing to penetrate the thick fog to understand more, but he realized a more important information.
The old man named Shanlan is in critical condition. His heartbeat is intermittent, and although it is regular, it is several times slower than that of an ordinary person.
This is an island that holds family secrets.

Ps:n
I'd like to recommend my friend Simon Mama's book, a 1V1 pure love story with a male protagonist, "After Rebirth, the Elf Feng Aotian Tested Me Step by Step"
Introduction: Two
Reborn back to her youth, she discovered that the Elf Lady Feng Aotian in her previous life seemed a little bit off?
"I don't have that kind of feelings for you, and you don't have to like me. There's no way between us." She said this stubbornly at first.
OK, I understand the logic, so I'll go?
——No way, how could that be possible.)
"So cunning..." She sobbed softly one day afterwards, "It's just... I like you, what's wrong?"
...
A very unique slow-burning western fantasy novel with a literary style, the writing is super hardcore! It is shocking just by looking at it, and it is worth recommending!
Chapter 297 Presbyterian Church (XVII)
The limousine drove along the gorgeous Black Rose Avenue, as if gliding through a black fog. Everyone listened quietly to the roar of the river not far away.
Gradually approaching a tall white building, it is a group of castles with many buildings sitting together, exquisite and grand, like a palace handed down from the last century.
This is the sanatorium on the island, which looks like a tall castle, but still has traces of all architectural styles.
The white door slowly opened. Beautiful carvings were carved on the door. Countless white butterflies fluttered along with the red carpet that fell and spread to the bottom of the steps.
The limousine stopped silently in front of the red carpet, and in front of it, countless people were waiting.
This is a feast on an autumn night, with unique floral scents in the slightly cool air and lush green grass spreading across the gentle hillsides.
