"Then what?"

"Then? No more. I only heard these two sentences. They seemed to have never appeared before. After these two sentences, there was no sound anymore, not even footsteps. They could be so silent. Walking in the jungle, this **** thing is either **** or meet a colleague, but whoever does our business—oh, I’m talking about mercenaries, not pirates—will run to this kind of bird that doesn’t **** Where do you come from? So, I think I may be hell, or I may have a mental problem."

Petru’s expression looked a little frustrated, "I didn’t bring many weapons at the time, and I was afraid that my boat would have a problem. If it wasn’t my mental problem, if there were people on the island, they would definitely find my boat. So I Quietly returned to the boat on the same route."

　　 "With your temper, you shouldn't leave so easily. You must leave a mark along the road when you come out?" Su Huilan said.

"Of course! I finally found this place, and I feel that there is something mysterious on this island that is attracting me, maybe there is something I want on it. I took the weapon from the boat, and then re-entered the island. Because before This time, I was very careful, for fear of being discovered by others."

"It's just that I encountered an unexpected situation as soon as I went up. This accident is not dangerous, but it just shocked me, because I found that the things I saw when I went to the island for the second time were completely different from the first time I went to the island. Everything changed, the shape of the mountains changed, and the vegetation changed. All the marks I left were gone, as if I had never been here. Later I found the lake, but I didn’t go all the way. I heard no sound and didn't meet anyone."

"Until then, I still didn’t know that mental energy came from the lake. I found that the water in the lake was warm. Generally speaking, the water in the hot springs cannot be drunk, and judging from the temperature of the water and the surrounding rocks, this may be due to A volcanic crater. But I was tired and thirsty. I couldn’t manage that much, so I went down and tasted it. The water was very sweet, without salty or heavy alkali. Then I took off my clothes and jumped into the lake to wash. A bath."

"You must find it strange, how can a person like me who put his head on his waistband to live his life so easily relax his guard and dare to go to the lake to take a bath." Petru laughed self-deprecatingly, "I think so too. At that time, I didn’t know why, my head was dizzy, and I wanted to take a bath. Moreover, after I jumped down, I found that the lake water can relieve fatigue. Then I discovered the source of mental power, right at the bottom of the lake. There must be something under the water. What, I guess, is Tabb under the water."

"What I wondered at the time was, why did the Tabb be built under the water? Later, I thought, it turned out to be an extinct volcanic crater. I don't know when it came alive again. The eruption caused Tabb to sink to the bottom of the lake. I felt There is a power in the underworld calling me, let me find it, it will see the sky again. So I dived under the water."

"I didn't bring diving equipment, but my water is very good. Diving is a basic skill like us who spends life at sea all year round. In such warm water, I can hold my breath for more than ten minutes. After I dived, I found that this lake Not small, the bottom of the lake is full of rocks, and the deeper it goes in the middle. When I swim to the center of the lake, the breath is not enough, I must float up to breathe. But when I came up, I suddenly saw two standing on the shore personal."

"That's where I got into the water, where my clothes are taken off. First they took my clothes and looked at it over and over, then they picked up my gun and whispered something. Because it was so far apart, I couldn't hear it. I know what they are saying, but most likely I can’t understand it even when I get closer. There is fog on the lake, I can’t see what they look like, and they probably won’t notice a head in the middle of the lake.”

"I hurriedly dived underwater and swam towards them. I don't want to run away naked, and I also want to hear what they are talking about. I calculated the route and swam to a raised mountain on the shore of the lake. Hidden place under the rock. I heard their voices, but unfortunately I got it right and I couldn’t understand a word. Their pronunciation characteristics are not in any language system I have learned. Then, I listened. There was a gunshot when it arrived."

"I was shocked, thinking they found me, and then I heard someone screaming in horror and walking away in a hurry. I confirmed that there was no one on the shore, so I got out of the hiding place and saw My clothes were thrown on the shore, and there was a person lying on the ground. I just thought that my gun might have gone wrong. Because I was in the water, I couldn’t see the person’s face, so I was about to climb up and take a look. When I returned to my clothes and weapons, suddenly a large group of people came out of the thick fog in the distance. They had spears in their hands and feathers in their heads, and they ran and screamed "Wu Li Wu Li"."

"I was so scared that I hurriedly dived back into the water and swam towards the opposite shore. About the middle of the lake, I quietly floated up to take a breath, then looked back and saw the shadowy figures on the shore. One of them seemed to look at me. In fact, it was far away. At this far, and with the fog barrier, I can’t see the person’s face at all, but I really feel that he seems to see me. You don’t understand the feeling, it’s like being stared at by a sniper. I don’t I dared to stay again, dived to the opposite side, and ignored my bare buttocks, so I rushed into the most foggy place."

　　 At this point, Petru took a deep breath and looked tired, as if he had just returned from a snorkel.

　　 Aoki frowned ~lightnovelpub.net~ and asked, "You mean, there are wild people on this island?"

　　 Su Huilan said: "It's impossible. The surrounding islands have been civilized. The resources of an isolated island in the ocean are not enough for a tribe to survive. This is also unexplainable genetically."

　　 Petru said: "But they are not the natives nearby. They look like Indians a hundred years ago."

　　 "Have you seen them later?"

"Nothing." Petru said, shaking his head. "After I escaped that time, it was already dark, and I was afraid that they would find my boat, so I didn't dare to go up again. When I went back later, I couldn't find it. This island."

　　 "Then why did you hide this experience from us?" Su Huilan asked.

　　 "In fact, I don't want to conceal it. It's just that even I feel weird. It feels like hallucinations or dreams. What's more, it's not very glorious to say that Red Beard once ran away naked." Petru said.

　　 "Wait..." Aoki suddenly remembered something, "You just said that two people speak Russian, as if they called each other by name?"

　　 "Yes, one is Ivan and the other is Boris."

　　 "Are you sure?"

　　 "Of course I can be sure. I heard these two sentences that can be understood that day. I remember them very clearly, and I can't forget them."

　　 "Ivan, Boris..." Aoki vaguely remembered that the names of these two men seemed to be mentioned in Captain Church's diary.
