Chapter 30: Short Messages

That door opened in a position that obscured the interior. To the occupants, it was truly terrifying. Plus, now that the sky was becoming darker and darker, the moonlight was getting fainter and fainter. Under this dark night sky, it was also really creepy. Coupled with Ji Yu's death just now, the occupants simply didn't dare to even take a step. "What should we do?" This was the common question everyone had right now. The location where the occupants were now was not very far from the spot where Ji Yu had been killed just now. In other words, that evil spirit could come after them again at any time! Then! What should be done? "We can't hesitate any longer, in case that unnameable thing …… that killed Ji Yu kills over again ……," Li Chong stammered, "we can't continue to stay here!" The words were so said, but for him to advance, he would never have the guts. "I'll do it." Just at this time, an unexpected voice came out. Everyone looked at the person who uttered those words …… Surprisingly, it was Yun Nai! Yun Nai glanced at Lian Zixin, as well as the other residents, and said, "If I die, I ask that all of you be able to fulfill a wish for me when you complete the Blood Character ten times. The wish I want to fulfill, you guys just ask Lian Zixin." Yun Nai actually realized that it was a tough thing to survive. That's why she took one thing into consideration: you can't put your eggs inside one basket. Everyone had a wish that could be granted in the end, so she tried to be as gracious as possible to the other occupants, and only if one of them could survive to the end, there was a way to get her child back even if she died. "Yes!" Dong Xie was the first to agree, "If you …… can do it, as long as I can complete the word blood ten times, I will definitely fulfill your wish for you." Han Lei, on the other hand, was silent, after all, his wish was that he could sanction the drug lords that killed his brother. Dong Xie, on the other hand, agreed to be so dry, which also made him a bit impressed, after all, the last wish that could be realized included being able to increase one's lifespan to three hundred years old, and many of the occupants were considering granting this wish if they could live to see the end of the day. Lian Zixin looked at Yun Nai's determined expression and was likewise very sad. She was really putting up a fight, even betting her own life. She had been traveling east and west with herself all these years, and whenever she heard of any place where a human trafficking organization had been dismantled by the police, she would be the first to go with herself to confirm it. If it wasn't for this reason, it wouldn't have been possible to run to this hellhole of K City. Especially every time when she saw child beggars everywhere on the subway and streets, she would go up and double check. Being a mother was a good thing. "I'll go!" After these four words surfaced from Lian Zixin's mind, he suddenly became determined inside. Without even discussing with Yun Nai, he walked up, pulled her behind him, and strutted towards that door! At this moment, the overwhelming longing for his missing son, as well as his wife who had tragically died, the grief and hatred in his heart once overpowered the sense of fear. It was meant to be a world of unparalleled cruelty. The occupants of the apartment and the people outside the apartment were actually the same. Lian Zixin's such a fearless, even comparable to death-defying act, made Dong Xie look completely dumbfounded. And Lian Zixin walked over to that door, then slowly closed it! As he pushed that door, he didn't dare to go too fast, just for fear that the commotion would attract the evil spirits. At this time, not to mention him, Dong Xie was just as nervous. But just as he was about to close the door completely …… Lian Zixin, however, felt that something was stuck, causing the door to fail to close! So, he immediately took a look towards the bottom, and this time, he froze. On the ground, there was a …… very old-fashioned flip phone! That cell phone happened to be stuck in the door, causing the door not to close! This thing? Dong Qi also noticed this flip phone! He hurriedly walked up and said, "What is this?" Lian Zixin gritted his teeth and picked up the flip phone! He opened the flip phone up to take a look …… and surprisingly, there was electricity! "This thing, it should be left behind by the people on the island." A cell phone! This was truly like a treasure! There was likely a large amount of important information stored inside! It might help them solve the mystery of the island! Let them know what had happened on the island in the past! Lian Zixin took this cell phone and first checked the …… SMS mailbox! "SMS …… is still really nostalgic." Lian Zixin let out a hard laugh, nowadays SMS mailboxes only had CAPTCHA messages, spam ads and bank payment records for the vast majority of people. After opening the short message mailbox, the others also surrounded over to look at it. The content of the SMS mailbox was not much. Only and two people's SMS records. One of them is called "He Lian". Another, shown as "daughter". The earliest text messages are from late 2003. The dentist, Ding Yi, died in that year. It was around this time that cell phones became popular in China, and in those days, people still used telephones and computers to communicate with each other, so cell phones were still a novelty. Judging from the text message, the daughter of the original owner of the cell phone bought it for her father. But it seemed that because of her age, the original owner of the cell phone was still not too used to using a cell phone and used it less often. "Daughter, thank you for buying me this cell phone." "Dad, it's good that you like it. You save my number." "Daughter, consider leaving Blackwater Island with He Lian, there's not much of a future in staying here all the time. You're a medical student, there's a lot of potential for you to go outside as well." Study medicine …… Dong Xie's heart tightened, could it be that the Machine Owner's daughter was some kind of doctor at Blackwater Hospital? Also, He Lian, is another person that the machine owner corresponded with, so could it be that he is his daughter's boyfriend? The reply to the text message was, "It's okay, Dad, I like Blackwater Island anyway. It's not a bad idea to open a dental clinic here, I think." A dental …… clinic???? Looking at the text message, Dong Xie and Lian Zixin almost spoke in unison, "Ding Yi!" That dentist Ding Yi whose teeth were all pulled out, as reported in the newspaper! This obviously couldn't be a coincidence. "So that's how it is ……," Dong Xie was filled with chagrin, "We should have come back in the first place, and it was only when we came back that we noticed this cell phone. It was my error in judgment that caused Ji Yu to lose his life for nothing." "Dong Xie, it's not entirely your fault." Lian Zixin consoled from the side, "It's that Ji Yu was too confident in his so-called holy water, which actually didn't come in handy at all." Then they continued to watch. "Dad, today I found a man washed ashore on the coast. Did you know that? He turned out to be Dr. Xie, who went missing three years ago!" Missing …… Dr. Xie? "Oh, it's Dean Xie's son! He mysteriously disappeared three years ago, how come he appeared on the coast again now?" "He said he can't recall any of his memories from these three years at all." Lost his memory? Re-returned? This reminded Dong Xie of Yuan Ming from Black Ghost! "Lost his memories? Isn't that something that only happens in dramas? It's a pity, Dean Xie has already passed away." "Well, I sent him to Blackwater Hospital's, and Mrs. Xie was there." Wait …… Xie? This surname instantly made Dong Xie seem to recall something. The next message was three days apart. "The doctor gave Dr. Xie a checkup, and luckily, although he lost his memory, there are no other aftereffects." "That would be really great. Dr. Xie is a great person, it's a blessing to have my son back." Seeing these words, Lian Zixin instantly remembered his own son. His son had been missing for a much longer period of time, and he asked himself that he had never done anything bad, yet he had been met with such an unfair fate. Just what hope did he have of being reunited with his son in his lifetime? Dong Qi, on the other hand, feels that this experience is becoming more and more similar to Black Ghost. Yuan Ming's father, in the novel, is also a favorite of many villagers in Yan God's Village. There could be some kind of mystery in this? However, this Xie …… He immediately took out the photo frame that he had previously found within the Blackwater Hospital. Previously, above this photo frame, he saw a person whose face had inexplicably become incomparably blurred. That person's name was called Xie Xun! And Lian Zixin continued to look at the text message on it. "Mrs. Xie intends for Dr. Xie to be able to continue working at Blackwater Hospital after he recuperates and inherit this hospital in the future." "That's great! Dean Xie's spirit in heaven can also rest in peace." "However, I always feel that something is not right. How can I put it? Although he said he lost his memory, his personality has also completely changed. In the past, although I didn't have much contact with Dr. Xie, he was just as warm and cheerful as his father, but now, the whole person has become cold, and I even …… have some fear of him ……"
