The silence of Hongluo Academy shrouded in darkness was broken by a pair of men and women.
When Ye Xiang took Jiang Shuyan's hand and finally returned to the academy, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally... came back.
For Ye Xiang, the short journey back here from the farmland path was a life-threatening journey.
"Just now... what happened to that? Am I wrong?"
Ye Xiang finally rearranged his thoughts, and then spoke his lines.
Jiang Shuyan entered the role faster than him, fully showing the quality of a professional actor: "You read it right. I also read it right."
The scarecrow who had turned his back to them suddenly turned around, which is really incredible.
But... even so, so what
The scarecrow is the oracle of the Moon Shadow God, which even the priests cannot violate. This point is an iron rule that cannot be overturned in Backwater Island. What's more, even if he said it, no one would believe it.
No one will believe it!
"Run away with me, Xu Yun!" Jiang Shuyan suddenly grabbed Ye Xiang's hand and said, "Escape from this island with me!"
"escape?"
Although it was not the first time I heard "Huang Shanyun" say this, but "Xu Yun" had never seriously considered this proposal.
After all... escape? How to escape
On this island, it is impossible to manufacture a ship that can sail for a long time. Even if a wooden ship is made, where will it go in this vast sea? Because the fishing industry cannot be developed on this island, there are no people with sailing experience at all.
"Don't say such unrealistic things, Shanyun. How can we escape from this island?"
"Whether it's the Island Office or the Moon Shadow Temple, there must be charts that record the surrounding sea areas. We are not aboriginals on the island, so how did we end up on this island? There must be other local approach."
It is worth mentioning that on this island, how the current islanders came to this island from the outside world has always been a closely guarded question that has never been mentioned. What is certain is that Xu Yun's parents and even his grandfather were also born on the island, and the generation before migrating to this island can be traced back at least four generations. At least, it was more than a century ago. And for more than a long century, Dead Water Island has continued to experience the phenomenon of death, and has also maintained a ban on entering the Forbidden Mountain. Of course, in such a long history, Huang Shanyun is by no means the first person to step into the Forbidden Mountain. However, in the past history, anyone who violated this prohibition never returned from the Forbidden Mountain.
After returning from the Forbidden Mountain, Huang Shanyun has undergone great changes, and has always had the consciousness of "escaping from this island". This kind of consciousness was strongly engraved in Huang Shanyun's mind. However, she couldn't recall at all why she entered the Forbidden Mountain, and what she discovered after entering the Forbidden Mountain.
Everything is full of mysteries. And the reality of the only achievement is her status as a "blasphemer".
"You really can't remember at all? What exactly did you see on the Forbidden Mountain?"
After hearing these words, Jiang Shuyan fell into deep thought. After a long time, she replied: "I don't know... I don't know what happened."
In the past year or so, Xu Yun has asked Huang Shanyun this question many times. However, she still can't recall, including the most important reason why she entered the Forbidden Mountain, but... Regarding the fact of becoming a "blasphemer", she did not show strong panic and apprehension, nor was she aware of it what this means for her future. And this caused others to further anger her.
"I will definitely find out why you entered the Forbidden Mountain, and what you experienced at that time." Ye Xiang had shaken off his fear at this time, and said in a firm tone: "You, it is absolutely impossible to enter the Forbidden Mountain." You entered the Forbidden Mountain on purpose, there must be some reason behind it. As long as you find out, you will no longer be a 'blasphemer'! So... as long as you remember the clues, even if you think it is very trivial, or very far-fetched and absurd. It doesn't matter, just tell me, and I will definitely find out!"
Having said that, even Jiang Shuyan, who had always been extremely indifferent, showed a hint of emotion.
"Xu Yun... You shouldn't have done this to me."
"I have never considered letting someone other than you be my life partner. So, if this is the case, stop talking."
Jiang Shuyan stared at Ye Xiang in front of her. Obviously, for "Huang Shanyun", she fully understood that "Xu Yun" was completely sincere to her. This sincerity will not be transferred because of time, and will not care about gains and losses. After Xu Yun has confirmed it, he will not change his sincerity.
"Ghost game..."
"what?"
"Last night, when the joker game was held, I seemed to think of something. Especially at the end, when the joker was drawn..."
"what happened?"
Ye Xiang's expression began to become tense. While speaking, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the school gate.
"You should know that over the years, no one has ever admitted that they have drawn a joke card after the joke game is over, right?"
"Yes, that's right, that's right."
"Don't you think it's strange? Why in the long years, no one has ever admitted that they have drawn a joke card? It is true that drawing a joke card means encountering bad luck, but not admitting that drawing a joke card does not mean that bad luck will happen. Elimination. Of course, I believe that some people don’t want others to know that they have drawn a fake card, but... so long time has passed, and no one has ever admitted it, even if they admitted that they were drawn in a certain period of time more than ten years ago Playing jackpots... is that unusual?"
Yes…
Ye Xiang immediately showed a sudden look!
Why has no one ever admitted it
The joke card game is a game with a very long history. There are two to three thousand people on the island. In terms of probability, the number of people who have drawn a joke card will definitely not be a small number. But... "Xu Yun" has never been mentioned by anyone, who has drawn a joke card...
This is very unreasonable.
And this morning, the Moon Shadow Temple did not hesitate to use the name of "blasphemy" to force everyone to tell whether they had ever drawn a ghost card!
"But... what does this have to do with your entering the 'Forbidden Mountain'?"
Then, "Xu Yun" naturally had new questions.
"I, I'm sure someone, has drawn a wild card once."
"Well, then?"
"He vehemently denies that he ever drew a wild card."
Ye wanted to continue to ask: "Firmly deny it? Are you sure that he did draw a wild card? No... Compared to this, who is this person?"
"I do not remember."
"what?"
"When I played the joke card game yesterday, the only thing I recalled was this, but who... I don't remember. The only thing that makes me sure is... that person did draw a joke card .”
It is confirmed that someone has drawn a wild card, and that person has firmly denied it...
"Last night... I had to go outside because I drew a joker, and I almost died outside because of it... If, everyone who draws a joker goes through this... If,' If the dealer' is really a ghost..."
So... what does this mean
"That person, let's not talk about whether he has won a joke card. Are you... sure that this matter has something to do with your entry into the Forbidden Mountain?"
"Yes. I confirm that it is definitely related."
This point is really puzzling. Because no matter how you look at it, they are two unrelated things.
But this incident led Huang Shanyun to enter the Forbidden Mountain, and even more bizarrely... she became the only person in the history of Shishui Island who came back alive from the Forbidden Mountain, thus becoming a "blasphemer". And the people from the Moon Shadow Temple did not criticize her for this matter, which is also extremely inconceivable. Even Hongluo Academy did not expel her from her student status so that she could participate in the Moon Shadow Festival. And last night, when "Xu Yun" and "Huang Shanyun" were in a life-and-death situation, it was also people from the Moon Shadow Temple who rescued them.
If there is no priest's instruction behind all this, Ye Xiang would not believe it if he was killed. The priest is the first spokesperson of the Moon Shadow God on this island. Only when the priests intervene in all this, can Huang Shanyun not be held accountable by the Moon Shadow Temple, retain his student status, and even... be personally rescued by someone sent by the Moon Shadow Temple!
Yes... The more Ye Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that the reason why he was saved was purely because of Huang Shanyun! And "Xu Yun" was rescued just by the way.
I'm afraid... it is necessary to go to the Moon Shadow Temple once and ask to see the priest!
