Chapter 188 27. Boarding the transit island
Li Xiya continued to explain the content on the curtain. As time passed, the night wind on the sea gradually picked up, and the gray and white curtains rolled with the wind, occasionally lifting up a corner of the night sea view outside the window.

The villa gradually dimmed.

Everyone in the West Factory was sitting or standing in various places in the living room, each holding a glass of old gold rush wine. As the scene on the curtain gradually deepened, they opened their mouths to add their own thoughts one by one.

Zheng Yun leaned on the sofa and listened carefully to their words. His eyes occasionally bypassed the curtain and looked out the window at the night sea. There were faint spots of light at the end of the dim skyline.

This coastal villa faces east.

Those points of light are the target islands.

"These are the suspects. I tried to investigate the name of the owner of the island, but I only found a few bills for drinks in an abandoned tavern near the transit island."

"The bill was signed by the transit island."

"The name on the receipt is Goode."

Li Xiya showed the last photo, a torn account book with a yellowed receipt. The handwriting was very elegant, using the cursive English of a hundred years ago.

"This name is not very common. Based on this name, we found some traces on Paradise Island. At the end of the [-]th century and the beginning of the [-]th century, there were six or seven bars under the name Goode, all called Goode's Bar."

Monotto added from behind the bar.

"We are not sure whether these two Goodes are the same person. If so, there is a doubt here. Since this Goode has a bar industry, why would he go to a nearby island to buy alcohol because it is far away?"

Fake Demona continued her analysis from her stool.

Others also expressed their opinions.

The atmosphere has finally returned. They are professional explorers, and their performance after entering the state is very satisfying.

"Probably, if it were me, I would really be too lazy to go downstairs to buy things because it's too far away."

Olivia raised her hands and spoke enthusiastically.

But her speech is meaningless. She is not a professional explorer. I can only say that she is very motivated and motivated.

It doesn't affect the atmosphere either.

Everyone in Xichang is very tolerant of the rich little sister of this family because she is so rich.

snore.

Suddenly there was a muffled sound.

Zheng Yun glanced sideways. Ji Dao was leaning beside him, his body upright and his head slightly lowered. One eye was open and the other was closed. He actually snored.

It's not that he's slacking off.

But he really couldn't understand English. A group of people talked for a long time, but he couldn't understand a word.

It was like listening to a book from heaven, but he might be able to understand a sentence or two of the book from heaven, but he knew nothing about the English.

In addition, he is used to reading ancient Tiangong books, so this kind of preliminary investigation that does not involve gods and ghosts at all does not feel interesting.

But his sleeping position is acceptable enough.

I guess I learned this technique of sleeping with my eyes open when I was guarding the rice in the Heavenly Palace to prevent it from being picked up by strange birds.

"That's it. It's getting late. Let's go back and rest. We'll go to sea tomorrow morning." Kedester, who was sitting in front of the bar, saw this scene and immediately came to the rescue.

He knew who Nodomi was.

I've seen it in the Immortal Sacrifice Cave.

This young Taoist master is the general manager of the Heavenly Palace and the head of the Demon Suppression Division. His status in the Immortal Supervision Division can be regarded as one person below him.

"Okay, I'll prepare the room."

Licia turned off the projection and went upstairs.

"Get a good night's sleep, chief!"

Olivia, who was in charge of logistics, stood up immediately, glanced at Zheng Yun with bright eyes, and then followed closely.

She made a start.

The others also put down their wine glasses, went to Zheng Yun one by one, said good night, and returned to their rooms.

"Let this Taoist go upstairs and rest."

Kedester looked at Ji Dao. He was still awake, staring at the screen with one eye and looking at it very seriously.

"No hurry, how many ships are there now?" Zheng Yun was also a little sleepy. They came here on a cruise ship. Every time they jumped to the foggy sea, there was a time difference, and the biological clock was very messed up.

"There are two, but they can be adjusted at any time. There is a yacht rental company nearby, and you can rent yachts of all sizes. How many more do you want to add, leader?" Kedester immediately understood what Zheng Yun meant.

He walked through the fairy gate himself.

I also know that there are people in Jianxian Division.

The leader should be dispatching his troops.

"Let's add two more."

Zheng Yun nodded and looked at Ji Dao, reaching out and patting him. The latter's body trembled and he finally woke up completely.

"Master Xian, are you finished?" Jidao yawned.

"Go up and sleep." Zheng Yun stood up and walked to the second floor, following Li Xiya's guidance into the room on the second floor.

Carrying the bag into the bathroom.

This room also comes with a bathtub.

After opening the fairy door and walking into the secret realm, Zheng Yun selected two Yin soldiers and ten Yin soldiers, asked the little Taoist priest to change them into clothes suitable for the local climate, and then took them back to the room.

He didn't want everyone in Xichang to know the existence of the Immortal Sect too early. Even if there was Guixi as a control, they must be cautious.

Because everyone in the West Factory is scattered abroad, they will be active in the West for a long time and are beyond their control.

In Western occultism, there are methods such as hypnosis and channeling. Even if they do not want to reveal secrets subjectively, they may be hypnotized by others and forced to reveal clues about the immortal sect.

This move has to be guarded against.

He can bring out the Yin soldiers and ghost generals now, and reduce the sense of abruptness overnight. Even if it can't be reduced by much, they will still guess it, which is better than opening the fairy gate in front of them.

After a while.

Zheng Yun put away the black jade pillow.

Looking back behind me, there were dark soldiers and ghost generals standing in every corner of the huge room, quietly blending into the dim light and shadow, filling the entire bedroom with a faint weird smell.

They all wore modern short-sleeved shirts, but their skin was pale and they looked like the dummies in the window.

The only bed was between them.

I want to fall asleep under their gaze.

Throughout the long time since he obtained the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals, Zheng Yun had never experienced such a situation. He secretly thought that he had made a mistake and should bring them out tomorrow morning.

That's it.

It doesn't matter.

They are all his subordinates.

Zheng Yun waved his hand to let them lie on the ground and disappeared from the sight of the bedside. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

……

Early next morning.

Everyone in the West Factory got up early and prepared to go to sea under the leadership of Kedester. They filled up the yacht in the backyard port of the villa to make sure that the yacht was functioning normally.

Olivia and others prepare food. They need to carry at least five or six days of food and fresh water when they go to sea.

The yacht Keldest rented was a small speedboat, similar to the previous boats in the Submersible Channel. It was fast but the cabin was small and could only comfortably seat six to eight people.

Zheng Yun also took Jidao downstairs.

Behind them were twelve people, all wearing peaked caps, sunglasses, short-sleeved shorts of almost the same style, and carrying a variety of weapons and equipment.

The ghost general wears a knife at his waist.

The Yin soldiers carried rifles and sniped.

In addition, they also brought some professional equipment, such as night vision goggles and thermal imaging. Even though Cadest had prepared these things, Zheng Yun still asked them to bring them out.

Jianxiansi has something now.

Firearms, bullets and other items can be obtained at any time through the fairy door, so there is no need to buy or rent them locally.

In addition, Ji Dao stuffed the poisonous elixir and poison powder that Ji Dao had just learned into his own backpack, and even took some blood pills and other emergency supplies from Tiangong.When he came out, he was fully armed.

The twelve Yin Soldiers and Ghost Generals said nothing, were uniformly dressed, lowered their heads, and followed Zheng Yun silently while carrying things on their backs. The visual effect was very oppressive.

Everyone in the West Factory also discovered this immediately.

Except for Kedester, who was smiling and saying nothing while holding a cigar in his mouth, each of them had a very strange expression.

Where do these people come from?

Did you come here on a cruise ship too?
Time's up in one night?Why didn't I hear any movement last night? Or is this the leader's method?

"Preparations for going to sea have been completed."

Kedester spoke first to prevent others in the West Factory from asking, and led Zheng Yun and others to the backyard.

"Then let's go to sea early."

Zheng Yun looked up at the end of the sea. The sun on this planet rose from the northwest. The sea was clear and cool, with only a hint of clouds covering it. It was a good time to go out to explore the sea.

for such a long time.

They rarely venture in good weather.

I hope this trip to sea will be smoother.

"Get aboard." Kedester stood at the port and made arrangements, allocating everyone in the West Factory and the Yin soldiers away.

Most of the explorers like Xichang can sail a boat. In fact, in terms of operation, sailing a boat is easier than driving a car.

Kedester led some of the Yin soldiers on a boat, Zheng Yun personally sailed the boat and led the remaining Yin soldiers, and the others divided the remaining two boats to carry living supplies.

Very reasonable combination.

Can avoid Xichang's suspicion.

After a short preparation, as Olphia and others waved goodbye, the four ships left the port one after another and sailed toward the east of the sea, communicating with each other using walkie-talkies.

Zheng Yun stood in the cockpit, holding the operating lever and looking at the vast sea, as if he had returned to the original submarine. Compared with the small ship, the sea route was too vast.

"Chief, this voyage will take about seven hours." Kedester's voice sounded, and his ship was at the front.

"Okay." Zheng Yun nodded.

After that, there was nothing to say.

After seven hours of sailing, the four boats arrived near the target archipelago at noon. Several islands appeared at the end of the sea, and some fishing boats appeared in the surrounding waters.

Picking up the binoculars and taking a look, most of the fishermen on the fishing boat are black guys, and some are dark brown guys.

After seeing their ship.

These fishermen stopped their movements, grabbed fishing nets or other things, and stopped on the deck to look this way, watching the arrival of these uninvited guests across the wide sea.

"Master Xian, they really like to watch the fun." Ji Dao also held a telescope and muttered after seeing this scene.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong."

Zheng Yun felt something was wrong with these fishermen.

This island is only a seven-hour flight from the Gold Rush Paradise Island. It is not considered a remote area. There should be ships passing by usually, and even special trips to nearby islands.

Not to mention that exploration teams and salvage teams often pass by here. These fishermen shouldn't have this reaction. It's not that they can't take a look, but they shouldn't look for a long time.

Look at the eyes and posture of some of the fishermen.

They seemed to want to watch the four ships at once until they were sure which nearby island they would head to.

This situation was discussed last night.

To explain with normal logic, these fishermen are in a competitive relationship and belong to different fishing islands. They stop to watch to determine which island customers will go to buy fish.

If you turn on the intercom and ask.

These fishermen will steal business.

If you don't ask, they will keep watching, but even if they go to the transit island, there will be no reaction.

"Chief, shall we go directly to the transit island?" Licia's voice sounded from the intercom.

"Let's go around in a circle." Zheng Yun replied.

They could sail directly east and make a half-circle to the back of the transit island without wasting much time.

"Okay." Kedester continued to lead.

Three other boats followed, following his ship as it sailed straight to the east, speeding past the fishermen.

But after sailing for a short time, some fishing boats appeared in front of them. These fishing boats were distributed in all directions in the sea area. It was actually difficult for them to avoid the gaze of these fishermen, so they could only make a big circle to the east.

The transit island was to the north of these islands. After more than half an hour of sailing, there were no more fishing boats in sight of the sea, and they finally sailed north.

This episode makes the exploration a little weirder.

But as Kedester said, they had experienced the same gaze before and found nothing unusual afterwards.

After continuing to sail for half an hour, the Midway Island appeared in front of their sight. The island has a very beautiful environment, with light yellow sandy beaches and pleasant coastline.

The midday sun pours down.

Give the island a warm tone.

From the appearance alone, this small island bathed in the sun is very beautiful. The water nearby is clear, and the soft sand extends from the island to under their boat. Some shells are lying on the seabed, and there is no weird smell.

Zheng Yun has been keeping an eye on the depth of the sea, and the water depth along the way is higher than 60 meters. It may be because it is close to the island, but it is gradually getting shallower now.

But other possibilities are not ruled out.

The Bacao Abyss covers a huge area on the Immortal Mansion Map, and the peculiar undersea terrain may extend here.

"Enter the island from the north," Kedster said.

The abandoned manor is in the middle of the island, and the island port where fishermen live is in the southwest of the island.

They can bypass island ports.

Several boats immediately followed, quickly approaching the north of the island, and stopped at the natural reef beach found by Kedeste.

They didn't feel it until they were close.

The entire island was very quiet, not even the chirping of birds. They could only hear the subtle sound of the sea breeze blowing across the sea, and the soft rustle of the trees on the island.

"right here?"

Norimichi asked as he looked at the island.

This place really doesn't look like a dangerous place. At least in the daytime, the scene in front of me is a little less interesting.

“Hopefully it’s what it appears to be.”

Zheng Yun sighed softly.

Exploring during the day will definitely not be the same as at night. Many weird atmospheres need to be set off at night, because people can only feel fear and fear when they lack the five senses.

Once it's daylight.

Those haunted houses are boring.

But the dangerous places are completely different. These places are real and no one knows what is on the island.

The island in front of you looks beautiful, but it actually gives people a dead feeling that there is no living thing on the island.

"Get off the boat." Zheng Yun picked up the intercom and said, sailing the boat close to the shoal, letting Ji Dao step on the island to get off the boat.

Same goes for the other three boats.

After getting off the boat, Kedester and other members immediately fixed the boats in different areas and even drove one of the boats directly onto the shoal and stranded it on land.

This is to avoid losing the boat.

If the ship is lost, things will be in trouble.

However, this time Zheng Yun personally landed on the island, so losing the ship would not pose much of a threat. They always had a way out.

Zheng Yun stood on the shore and looked at the depths of the island. After waiting for others to arrange their boats and arrive, he sent his Yin soldiers to lead the way and headed straight towards the abandoned manor.

He didn't have time to investigate anything else.

Since the abandoned manor is the weirdest, and no one in the West Factory has ever entered it, let’s start directly from the manor.
