Chapter 386 The Mystery of the Missing Lighthouse Island

Lighthouse Island, the name comes from the huge lighthouse on the island, not the shape of the island like a lighthouse.

The huge white tower that Zhang Sen saw at this time is actually the source of the name of Lighthouse Island, and it is also a magnificent spectacle. It is called the white ivory Kakujuin Lighthouse by the Dangkelu Kingdom.

Kakuzhuyin is a dialect that existed before the Dangkelu Kingdom was born, which means the eye of the sea god, so this lighthouse can actually be called the eye of the sea god lighthouse, which means that it is the eye of the sea god and can Guide the sailors.

Who built this lighthouse has no way to investigate, at least the Dangkelu Kingdom is impossible and incapable of building such a magnificent giant tower on such an island that is somewhat remote from the mainland.

Naturally, Zhang Sen would not be shocked by this small lighthouse, but seeing the lighthouse meant that Lighthouse Island was close in front of him, and his mood improved because of this.

He picked up the paddle and rowed vigorously directly. The boat braved the wind and waves, and quickly approached the lighthouse island.

Half an hour later, the boat approached the port.

Lighthouse Island is a relatively important sea transfer station in Dangkelu Kingdom. There are many ships moored in the port, but Zhang Sen feels a bit wrong when he sees these ships.

Equipped with western swords and crossbows, he allowed the boat to approach the port slowly, while he himself hid in the night.

Boom!
The boat hit a sailboat, and after the sound, it immediately became quiet again, very quiet, too quiet.

Zhang Sen finally realized why he felt something was wrong. The port was too quiet. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to be so quiet even at night. Besides, as a transit point, there were no guards or guards on these sailboats.

"Aren't you going to get into any trouble again?"

Zhang Sen muttered to himself, holding the oars and propping the hull of the sailboat slowly approaching the shore, and finally he jumped ashore.

The whole island was very quiet, as if he was the only one, and the only moving thing was the light on the white lighthouse.

Suddenly, the light on the lighthouse fell, and the whole port became bright. Zhang Sen, who had been hiding in the dark night, was completely exposed to the light. He covered his forehead with one hand and looked towards the top of the lighthouse. He saw a man in a tuxedo. The man at the top of the lighthouse waved to him, as if to let him pass.

He couldn't see the man's face clearly, and couldn't guess the attitude of the other party, but now he had no other choice but the past, so he walked towards the lighthouse.

The 15-minute journey was over in a blink of an eye. When he came to the huge lighthouse, he heard someone shouting from above, as if telling him to go up.

The door of the lighthouse was not locked. He opened the door and then slowly climbed the stairs along the spiral staircase of the lighthouse.

Ten minutes later, he came to the top of the lighthouse, and the man in a tuxedo had been waiting for him for a long time.

This man is very handsome, with a top hat on his head and a black cane in his hand, giving the overall impression of a gentleman in the Middle Ages in the West.

"Hi, my name is Einstein, an investigator of the Kingdom Weird Association." The man stretched out his hand and smiled.

Zhang Sen thought for a while and said, "Hemoway, a sailor in distress."

"No wonder, most people don't dare to approach Lighthouse Island now." Einstein said with relief.

Zhang Sen asked curiously, "What happened to Lighthouse Island?"

"A week ago, all the people on Lighthouse Island disappeared overnight. This incident caused quite a stir, and it has spread throughout the kingdom," Einstein replied.

Zhang Sen finally knew why the entire Lighthouse Island was so quiet.

He felt that this might be caused by some special creature. After all, the biggest feature of this world is all kinds of mysterious creatures, such as the water mist corpse.

"Although it's presumptuous, can you stay and assist me in investigating the reasons for the disappearance of people on Lighthouse Island?" Einstein paused, then asked.

A light screen appeared in front of Zhang Sen, on which was written: Einstein, the investigator of the Hidden Mission Weird Association, sent you a request. Do you accept it?whether

Does this still require a choice?
Zhang Sen chose 'yes' with his mind, then smiled at Einstein and said, "I'm so happy!"

In fact, Einstein was ready to be rejected, because no one was willing to take over the task itself.

He applied for assistance from the association, but there was no news in the end. Due to lack of manpower, he came to the island for three days, but still found no valuable clues.

In fact, not to mention the investigators in the association, even ordinary people, he can't recruit them now. After all, people on the entire island disappeared overnight, which is already a very terrifying incident.

If he hadn't been forced by his superiors to investigate the case, he would not have come here.

"Thank you. I will pay you satisfactory remuneration. Now I will tell you about the case in detail." The smile on Einstein's face seemed to be brighter, as if afraid of Zhang Sen's repentance, he said immediately.

Zhang Sen nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"I came to Lighthouse Island three days ago. I found that the people on Lighthouse Island basically disappeared in an instant. This can be confirmed by the residences of some residents. Many houses still have freshly prepared dinners , so I infer that the time of disappearance should be between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the evening, and there is no trace of a fight, so it happened very suddenly, and it was over in an instant." Einstein confessed all the information he had investigated. .

Zhang Sen frowned slightly, and said, "Not a single survivor?"

"No one. The situation on Lighthouse Island was discovered only the next day when a merchant ship docked." Einstein replied.

Zhang Sen thought about it, but unfortunately there is too little useful information now, so he had to say: "Then let's just leave it at that for now. Let's see if we can find any useful information tomorrow."

"Well, thank you again for your willingness to stay and help." Einstein never expected that Zhang Sen would be able to make any useful inferences through this information. At this time, he smiled decently and said slowly.

Only then did Zhang Sen know that Einstein was resting on the lighthouse, because he felt that this place could overlook the entire island. If there were any clues, he could see them at a glance from the lighthouse. The reason why he discovered Zhang Sen was actually the previous lighthouse shooting. into the boat in the water, and this happened to be seen by him.

Because Einstein used to lay the floor, it is naturally impossible to have extra floor for Zhang Sen, so Zhang Sen has to solve this problem by himself.

Zhang Sen was not in a hurry to rest. When Einstein was resting, he walked to the edge of the lighthouse and overlooked the entire island.

It is worth mentioning that this lighthouse is very advanced, at least for this era. When he entered the lighthouse, he found that the lighthouse was powered by wind power, and the light bulb was made of an unknown material. Incandescent lamps are much stronger.

The light will rotate with the wind, sweeping towards the surroundings, and the position of the light beam can also be adjusted artificially.

Zhang Sen looked at it for a while, and then tried to manipulate the light to scan the surrounding houses.

He is not 100% sure that this is a case of disappearance caused by mysterious creatures. In fact, it may also be the work of a dietitian, or even some pirates who visited here and finally robbed everyone.

From the number of houses, he can be sure that the permanent population of this island is at least 500 people.

Pirates are unlikely to take away so many people, especially many of these people are old people, which is of no use to pirates.

Generally, pirates will choose young men and young women to plunder people. If the trafficking channels are wide enough, they may also plunder children, but the elderly and the disabled will definitely be excluded.

With this in mind, Zhang Sen felt that the possibility of being patronized by pirates was very low, and if pirates visited, it was impossible for the residents of the island not to resist at all.

Therefore, he thinks the former two are more likely.

But now he can't be sure which one, so... rest.

In fact, he didn't expect that he would encounter a hidden mission on Lighthouse Island. Completing the mission was equivalent to killing five players.

The temptation is great indeed.

After all, none of the players who can participate in the competition is simple. He is considered lucky to be able to kill two players. The later the player must be, the more difficult it is to deal with. It is not so easy to get points.

However, this task may not be simple, it is equivalent to killing five players, how could it be simple, even the danger hidden in the task may be more terrifying than five players combined.

Zhang Sen sat and rested against the wall, thinking wildly in his head, and finally fell into a light sleep state.

The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was fine.

After Zhang Sen and Einstein had breakfast, they left the lighthouse together and began to investigate.

The two discussed it when they went down the tower, and finally reached an agreement to investigate those sailboats first to see if there are any clues.

The reason why Einstein agreed was very simple. Zhang Sen was a sailor, so he must be more familiar with the situation inside the sailboat, and he might be able to detect the information he had missed before.

When the two came to the port, Zhang Sen went directly to a sailboat.

"This is the merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce run by Mrs. Curie." Einstein glanced at the logo on the merchant ship, and then said.

This is a small merchant ship with only two small-caliber cannons, and it seems that it is not well maintained. Now it is scattered among many sundries, and it is estimated that it has never been used at all.

Zhang Sen glanced at the deck, then walked between several wooden boxes, and bent down to pick up a wine bottle.

"Snow Cherry Wine, meaning a lover from afar, many sailors like it, and Mr. Hemerway also likes this kind of wine?" Einstein walked over, saw Zhang Sen holding the wine bottle, and smiled.

Zhang Sendan said: "There should have been a sailor sitting here. He leaned against the side of the boat and drank snow cherry wine, thinking of his lover in the distance. At this moment, he found something. He was so shocked that the wine bottle in his hand was gone. He landed on the deck, but unfortunately he had no chance to escape, maybe he got up, maybe he didn't, but in the end, for unknown reasons, he disappeared."
