Chapter 15: No wonder he's the new king

…………

This summer vacation, I returned to the island from elsewhere.

The island seems the same.

Although I grew up here, at the moment of boarding the ship, the blowing sea wind made me feel unfamiliar.

Regarding the monster that doesn't appear at night, hearing the story, I thought it would be a supernatural existence.

Perhaps some undiscovered creature; this summer vacation I returned mainly to investigate this creature, believing that using it as a thesis topic would definitely be wrong.

。。。。。。。。。。。

On the second day after the instance opened, Yang Xin went to the town clinic early, but there were no clues yet.

Lu Ming remembered that he had agreed to meet Mo Yan yesterday, but he slept until dark in the afternoon, and Mo Yan kept trying to call.

Moreover, the notebook…

It's only been a morning, yet all the leads have been severed.

"Brother Chang'an?" Yang Xin stopped peeling the shrimp shells: "Any happy news? Or are you still worried about Liang Shu?"

"It's fine." Lu Ming shook his head, but hearing the two words "Liang Shu," he stopped his chopstick movement: "Liang Shu... what happened?"

Yang Xin froze for a moment: "Oh no, I forgot that Brother Chang'an still knows about this."

"Brother Chang'an, I heard..." Yang Xin lowered her head, looking at the shrimp in her hand: "Liang Shu... has gone missing."

"Missing?"

Lu Ming understood: clearly he was fine yesterday, how could he go missing today?

Observing Mo Yan's careless personality, if he discovered something he should have first contacted the players; suddenly missing... Lu Ming guessed he probably encountered some accident, so he hid.

The mastermind behind the island has already started acting!

"Don't worry, Brother Chang'an, the police sergeant has already sent people to look for him; Liang Shu only went missing this afternoon, so he should be found soon." Yang Xin handed the peeled shrimp to Lu Ming: "First eat the shrimp; we should get news tomorrow."

"Mm." Lu Ming took the shrimp.

After dinner, I returned to Ling Chang'an's room.

【Current Instance: Island's It】

【Remaining Rooms: 11】

Lu Ming lay in bed, opened his phone, and still saw a message hanging silently—the gathering address sent by Mo Yan. Suddenly he remembered the woman who cried in the church yesterday; her daughter also went missing, and that missing girl is probably also a player...

If discovered, can only hide?

"Thump thump thump…"

A sudden knocking sound rang out.

"Brother Chang'an, may I come in?" Yang Xin.

Lu Ming froze for a moment, then raised his voice: "Come in."

Yang Xin pushed open the door, holding a plate of fruit, walked to the bedside and sat: "Eat some fruit, it's just been washed."

"Mm." Lu Ming took a strawberry; I don't know why, but I always feel some resentment in my heart, yet the strawberry is indeed cold, cool, sweet and sour.

"By the way, did you see the diary?" Lu Ming picked up another grape.

Yang Xin thought for a moment, gave an apologetic smile: "No ah, did you find it?"

"Mm, I looked everywhere, I remember I seemed to have put it on the bookshelf…"

"Mm... I have a slight headache, it's fine." Yang Xin put down the plate, got up and walked to the desk, took a new notebook from the drawer: "Using a new one is fine; even if the diary is lost, good habits can still be kept!"

Diary note: Pass…

"Understood, understood." Lu Ming picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth.

The room stayed quiet for a while.

Yang Xin handed the notebook to Lu Ming: "Today's diary, Brother Chang'an hasn't written it yet, right?"

"Seems so." Lu Ming took the notebook, glanced at it a few times, but had no intention of opening it.

He noticed the girl's gaze, filled with a hint of expectation.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ming raised his head.

"Nothing..." Yang Xin glanced aside, her cheek slightly flushed: "Well then, I'll just disturb Brother Chang'an, good night!"

The door was gently closed, and the girl's footsteps gradually faded away.

Lu Ming stared at the flower board; after getting used to it, the light wasn't so glaring.

Yang Xin, why are you hiding the Original Owner's diary?

The next morning, Uncle Yang called, asking to bring back some fish bait, and asked the two docks to help; Lu Ming had no memory of the Original Owner, so he could only follow Yang Xin the whole way.

The dock was moored with a few fishing boats; fishermen were busy unloading the cargo from the boats.

"Hold it steady."

A bucket of fish bait fell into Lu Ming's arms, making him hold his breath.

His physique obviously lacked an exercise habit; after moving a few buckets, Lu Ming felt his legs trembling.

"Brother Chang'an, help?" Yang Xin asked, holding a bag of fish bait, sideface.

"Use..." Lu Ming said.

After half an hour, the fish bait was finally moved onto the boat; Lu Ming sat in the shade to avoid the sun.

"Mom and Dad again asked me to bring back fish bait; look at this year's abundant harvest." Yang Xin stood aside, her gaze toward the distant convenience store: "Just judging by the effort, I'll help buy water."

Lu Ming didn't refuse, because it was really hot to the point of being unable to speak; the instance's time is currently June summer, and the island is even more prone to sun exposure.

Lu Ming suddenly felt his shoulder being tapped; he raised his head, seeing a girl in casual wear wearing a duck-tongue cap.

"Lu Ming..." the girl took off her cap, her eyes looking toward the convenience store.

"Player?" Lu Ming said.

The girl nodded: "Remembered?!"

"Seen?"

Obviously first... The girl paused, let out a helpless sigh: "Look, that said is not wrong, that memory can be erased or altered."

As for what I said, I have no impression at all; the girl in front also, although the other party seemed to have already seen each other twice, but Lu Ming indeed finds it very unfamiliar.

"First... Yilin Ka?" Lu Ming stared at the girl's eyes and asked.

The girl averted her gaze, seemingly bearing some resentment toward Lu Ming: "Yes, compared to, yesterday you didn't get Mo Yan's call?"

"No." Lu Ming said.

"How could it be, even though you're right beside, you all got it!" The girl, somewhat anxious, but seeing Lu Ming's direct gaze like lying, helplessly sighed: "Look, the memory has been erased twice, alas New King, even the copy plot is not the same as others."

"Get to the point." Lu Ming said.

Yesterday I vaguely sensed that it was right; the girl's present exactly confirmed the idea.

"Chang'an brother, who's speaking?" Yang Xin's voice came through.

The girl obviously shuddered, her face panicked, she turned and ran, but in a moment her arm was grabbed by Yang Xin.

"Bai Xian?" Yang Xin also somewhat surprised: "What's going on? Bai Aunt has been looking for a long time, still crying sadly in the church, where did you run off to?"

"Let go, let go!" The girl struggled desperately, her hat fell to the ground.

The movement attracted the attention of the fishermen unloading cargo; a few cast doubtful glances.

"Okay, must go home immediately, apologize to Bai Aunt!" Yang Xin's face turned somewhat gloomy.

The girl looked at Lu Ming for help: "Going back will get me killed!"

"Xin." Lu Ming stood up.

Yang Xin froze for a moment, looked at Lu Ming: "What's your name?"

Taking advantage of the opening, the girl broke free, pushed through the crowd and ran into the alley.

"What's wrong?"

"Just now, that Bai Qing's daughter?"

"Really, you said missing? How could she appear?"

Residents discussed heatedly, suggested quickly call the girl's mother, then let them chase the girl.

Among the crowd, a few began to act separately; Lu Ming saw several heading toward the girl's direction.
