While Wei Ran was busy returning to the izakaya for makeup reconnaissance, Suisui, who was far away in Paris, France, was also led by her wealthy friend Kou Kou and Kou Kou's new housekeeper, the Indian woman Tantu, in a jewelry store.

We visited various beautiful buildings in the design school.

However, what the Katenka sisters who were following these two rich women did not expect was that they actually bumped into the two landlords of the Gubijing Pasta Restaurant in Italy in this school!

"Why are their family here?"

While Anfiya was asking, she was also looking at the mysophobic Tasi not far away, as well as Monica, who was once socially fearful but still has a bad mouth, and one of the few friends of the two sisters - the man with naturally curly hair.

Little guy Matthew.

"how could I know"

While Anfisa was speaking, she had already taken out two black masks from her pocket and distributed them to her sister. Then she took out a pink baseball cap and a black fisherman hat and put them on her sister's and his own heads respectively.

Immediately afterwards, the two sisters each took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on their faces.

"Are you going or should I go?" Anfiya asked in a low voice.

"Go ahead," Anfisa said without even thinking.

Hearing this, Anfiya immediately slowed down quietly, and after she and Suisui had distanced themselves, she immediately pretended to be on the phone, holding up her phone and sitting next to the three weirdos.

On another bench.

"Uncle Tassie, your school is too boring. When are we going to see the Eiffel Tower?" Matthew, a child with naturally curly hair, did not forget to take a bite of the ice cream in his hand while talking.

"How about lunch?"

Tassie, who had long hair and a beard on his chin, leaned over to the ice cream in Matthew's hand and took a bite and said, "The cafeteria in this school tastes very good, I swear."

"Even if it's like what you said, it's definitely not as good as Aunt Monica's cooking skills."

Matthew said, handing the ice cream in his hand to Tassie, who had long since lost hermephobia, "You can eat it. Since you no longer have mysophobia, I have begun to dislike you. Aunt Monica, I want to buy another one later."

Ice cream, I want to try vanilla this time."

"no problem"

Monica, who was clicking on the screen of her mobile phone, replied cheerfully, "Taxi, we have followed you to visit this shabby school. Should we go to the Eiffel Tower to have a look? My friends have been

They pressed me to send photos, and they even doubted whether I had come to France."

"Don't you go to the cooking school you signed up for?" Tassie crossed her legs while nibbling on the second-hand ice cream in her hand.

"Absolutely unnecessary"

Monica stood up as she spoke, "If I didn't want to add some new flavor elements to the pasta restaurant, I wouldn't even want to come to Paris.

Besides, I really don’t understand why you suddenly decided to come here to study last year?”

"Of course it's because I want to add some new taste elements to my watchmaking skills, such as inlaying enough shiny stones."

Tasi said proudly, "I hope that the watches I make can be included in the ranks of works of art, not just precise mechanical timing tools."

"It's up to you, I'm going to the Eiffel Tower." Monica was already taking steps as she spoke.

"Wait for me! I still have my vanilla ice cream!"

As Matthew said this, he immediately stood up from the bench, followed him with his legs hanging upside down and his natural curls blowing in the wind.

"He is actually studying here?"

Anfiya looked at Taxi who was holding ice cream in her hand and muttered, and then looked at Monica who had walked to the ice cream stall in the distance. She also didn't expect that this girl with a foul mouth was actually planning to come.

Studying in France.

After a moment of hesitation, Anfiya put down the cell phone that had been pressed to her ear, randomly chose a direction, avoided the three people, and went around in circles to meet her sister who was still following the two rich women, and explained the situation in a simple way.

described it.

Not to mention the strange expressions on the two sisters' faces at this time, Wei Ran, who was far away in Palau, also left quietly.

After gathering diners at Shota Izakaya, I slowly returned to my hotel in the night.

The reason why he went and returned was naturally curious about the relationship between the two owners of the izakaya. By the way, he also had a bad taste and wanted to take a few photos. He looked forward to comparing this small restaurant after the truth was announced.

It's just a change in the store.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day. Under the leadership of Wan Qiu, Wei Ran walked into a fairly well-decorated small shop, and while waiting for the food to be served, he took the food from the other party.

tablet.

"The ones with a green background in the table are some niche or coral reef groups that I have collected that are not open to the public. The ones with a gray background are regular diving areas, and there are detailed introductions to them later."

Wan Qiu, who was sitting opposite, paused and said, "We can go to the destinations on both lists. In addition, I have also prepared diving equipment and professional underwater photography equipment for you."

"Where are Toby Island and Helen Island?"

After Wei Ran flipped through it casually, he pointed to the two options next to each other at the end of the green list and asked, "What a coincidence. I have two American friends named Toby and Helen."

"They're at the southernmost tip of Palau."

Wan Qiu said with a smile, "There are about 20 people living on Toby Island. There is only one marine protection station on Helen Island, and there are only three people on it at most."

"So no tourists go there?" Wei Ran's eyes immediately lit up. "Very few tourists go there."

Wan Qiu took a sip of juice and explained, "It's almost 600 kilometers away from where we are now. For ordinary tourists, whether it's a sightseeing flight or a yacht charter, it's a huge expense."

"I'm already interested after hearing you say that."

Wei Ran handed the tablet to the other party, "Can we go to Helen Reef? I want to go diving there. If possible, I hope to start today."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Aren't we going to Peleliu Island?" Wan Qiu asked subconsciously.

"We can't escape to that island. If it won't cause you any trouble, we can wait until we get back before going there."

"No problem, I'll make arrangements now!" Before Wan Qiu finished speaking, he had already taken out his cell phone.

"I don't want anyone to know where I went." Wei Ran made a new request with a smile.

"I'll take care of it." Before Wan Qiu finished speaking, he had already changed into a language that Wei Ran couldn't understand, and started communicating through his mobile phone.

Before the food was ready, the pretty girl put away her phone and said, "It has been arranged. After we have lunch, we can go to the airport. There is already a helicopter waiting for us, and it will take us directly Send it to Helen Island."

After a pause, Wan Qiu continued, "You can even stay at the marine protection station on that island tonight. It's the rainy season, and there's only one person on duty on that island. My colleague has already made an agreement with him. He Today I am going back to my home on Toby Island to celebrate my children’s birthday, and we will not take our helicopter back to Helen Island until tomorrow evening.”

Having said this, Wan Qiu lowered his voice slightly and said, "Of course, if you plan to secretly collect some corals, it's best for me to make preparations in advance."

"I will not do anything that damages the environment."

Wei Ran said while putting food into his mouth, "I didn't even bring sunscreen this time, just to have the opportunity to appreciate the corals in their most primitive state. How could I do anything to destroy them?"

"I was overthinking it," Wan Qiu said apologetically.

"Your boss seems to be very energetic?" Wei Ran casually changed the topic.

"I don't know this"

Wan Qiu took his time and put a piece of food into his mouth, "I'm just Manager Yang's assistant, and I happen to know Japanese and English. As for what channels he found, I don't know."

"Let's eat"

Wei Ran smiled and wisely ended the topic that required the other party to lie.

After a simple lunch, the two of them rushed to the airport by car, took off in a small sightseeing helicopter, and jumped forward.

The way forward, by replenishing supplies at several small islands along the way, we finally landed smoothly on the delicate beach of Helen Island before the sun set.

"Mr. Wei, are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?" Wan Qiu asked loudly against Wei Ran's ear.

"No need!"

Wei Ran also leaned against the other person's ear and responded loudly in a joking manner, "You are so beautiful that I can't concentrate on enjoying the equally beautiful scenery of this island."

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Wan Qiu looked back at the protection station staff member who was waiting to board the helicopter in the distance, and said loudly to Wei Ran's ear again, "I will pick you up at this time tomorrow. If you need help, you can always give it to me." Call! The helicopter and I are on Toby Island, 70 kilometers away!" "Understood!"

Wei Ran made an OK gesture and jumped out of the cabin with the diving bag prepared for him. The staff member who had been waiting for a long time immediately got into the cabin to take his place.

After watching the helicopter fly away, Wei Ran immediately threw away the diving bag in his hand and walked towards the marine protection station not far away.

This protection station is located on the waist of the east coast of this long and narrow island. Compared with the north and south ends, it is in a perfect location with a leeward side and no need to worry about being hit by waves.

It's a pity that after this observation, all the few rooms were locked. There were only two unlocked rooms. Although it could be seen that they had been cleaned, there was still cologne on the two single beds that could not be covered up.

The smell of body odor.

After glancing at the still-working radio station through the glass, Wei Ran walked to the southern end of the island and followed his memory to find the former camp and cemetery.

Time passed by for more than half a century, and the camp was already overgrown with tropical plants. Even the jasmine flowers that were originally transplanted had disappeared. Instead, there were several more coconut trees. And the cemetery where three U.S. sailors are buried

, are also overgrown with weeds and shrubs.

Without destroying these shrubs, Wei Ran took out his engineering shovel, put on his gloves, and scraped away the fine white sand layer by layer. He soon discovered a body armor with almost only its outline and inserts left.

Under the body armor is a red rubber sea anchor bag. Carefully open the severely cracked bag. In addition to a can bottle that Weiran is very familiar with, there are also the long Japanese Colonel lunch box and a

The maple leaf-shaped glass bottle, and the amber viscous liquid still in the bottle, is obviously maple syrup that cannot be produced at this latitude.

After thinking for a while, he carefully unscrewed the can, took out a waterproof notepad from it, sat on the floor and read the story Hawkes recorded on it.

His memories began with the strong wind on the day when the chief and Sterling were killed, and the end of the memories was recorded until he set off from home and decided to go to Helen Island again to fulfill Evans's last wish. This was the end of the painting.
