The steaming sweet potato was wrapped in newspapers. The little girl chewed it down, and then she subconsciously vomited it out because it was too hot. Seeing the sweet potatoes that fell on the ground covered with water stains, she flattened her mouth and bent over and wanted to pick it up. The collar at the back of the neck was grabbed by one hand.

"No, eat it."

Zhu Jue held his cell phone and looked at the tattoo photo he had just taken, and his eyes turned to the boss in front of him.

"Who made this pattern for you?"

"I saw it on a sampan by the beach. I thought it was very powerful at the time, so I asked someone to tattoo a similar look."

The ** leader knelt on the ground, saying tremblingly while being frozen.

Although nothing frightening happened, the current situation was not much better for him.

"The sampan... can you find where else it is?"

“It should be found.”

"Okay, I'll give you an hour to get the sampan back and find a boat by the way, which I might be able to use."

He sent the photos to the studio group and asked Heye to help search online. Zhu Jue said without raising his head.

"I'll help you find it right away!"

When the leader heard that the other party was willing to let him go, the leader immediately wanted to get up.

"Let you go?"

thump!

Zhu Jue shouted softly and the leader knelt down again.

"I told you to search, to ask your men to search, do you understand, tell them, I will only give them an hour. If you can't see the boat and the sampan, let them prepare wreaths, paper money and so on for you... Oh, maybe you don't do this, or you'd better make a cross?"

As long as they grasp their boss, the younger brother below will naturally be obedient. After Zhu Jue left a boxing mark on the wall next to him, the guy turned around and ran out for two steps and kicked his younger brother. Because he didn't stand firm and fell, he got up and turned around to bow to Zhu Jue to express his apology.

"Child, go home. At a young age, don't sway outside."

He pinched the little girl's nose with a fierce look on his face, but his other hand stuffed the sweet potatoes he bought into her arms.

Two roasted sweet potatoes, this is all Zhu Jue gave her. It’s not that he has no money. In fact, as long as he wants, he can now go to the nearby ATM to bring a box of money to the little girl, but this is not helping her, but harming her.

In such a place, a little underage girl has a lot of money and has no ability to protect herself. The ending of waiting for her is definitely much more terrifying than being exploited by those gangsters just now.

Everyone has their own life, and Zhu Jue does not think he is a kind person who is willing to protect strange girls for the rest of his life.

But when you see it, you can help with it, it's always OK.

Turning my head, I looked at the mottled metal door panels, with reddish-brown rust at the corners, and there were obvious loose marks between the bottom frame and the corridor. Several semi-wet and dry mud were stamped on the door frame.

I don’t know if it was because of the weather, or if someone had just entered and exited not long ago.

“Have you contacted?”

Zhu Jue naturally knocked on the door long ago, but no one inside came out to open the door, and there was not even a single response, so he had to ask Chen Li to contact Jeffrey Taros' daughter.

"She said...her father should be at home."

Looking at the message on talk, Chen Li turned the screen and put it in front of Zhu Jue.

"at home?"

They have not revealed their identities now. If there is someone in the room, there is no reason not to even say hello.

He bowed and confirmed the mud mark on the door frame again, with his toes facing forward, which means that this was the mud mark left when he went out.

"Get back."

He waved his hand and asked the two people next to him to retreat. Zhu Jue was not ready to wait any longer. He held the door handle in his left hand. Such a poor door lock in the old city area could be easily opened by relying solely on brute force.

With the arm, the door frame became looser after a sudden shock. He pushed forward tentatively, and the door opened back with a creaking sound.

Bang!

Before Chen Li and the gangster leader behind had time to see the scene inside, the door was closed by Zhu Jue again.

"You two, turn around, and don't turn around until I'm talking,"

After pausing at the door for a while, Zhu Jue put his backpack with a wind chime on the wooden rack outside the house, patted the forehead of the wind chime that was about to climb out and signaled it to retract. The weapon box that had just been wiped clean with a rag stood on the ground. He opened the mechanism and the clear evil ghost was unsheathed. The clanging sound made the two of them turn their heads in a hurry.

It was confirmed that both of them turned around and Zhu Jue to open the door again, and then quickly closed the door after stepping in.

Buzz ~

A buzzing suddenly sounded in my mind, and a familiar feeling was that Zhu Jue had never expected that there was a source of mental pollution in this room before, so he immediately closed the door after opening it.

The light in the house was dim. Zhu Jue tried to touch the switch on the wall next to him, and made a few "clicks" back and forth, but it was not as bright as imagined. Out of the corner of his eyes, he immediately glanced at half a white candle on the shoe rack next to the entrance.

Fortunately, it is not night yet. Although it is dark, the roughly appearance of the house can still be seen, and the light penetrates into the house from the old iron fence windows.

Zhu Jue checks around through the light.

The old houses are cracked everywhere, and the moisture appears here with visible dampness and moisture. However, the house is not sloppy because of its own poverty. On the contrary, many places are well maintained, such as the desk in front, and the bowls and chopsticks on the folding table in the center of the house.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhu Jue sensitively smelled some bloody smell, which made him frown slightly, lower his head to check his feet, and there were a few pools of blood stains extending to a room on the inside.

He pursed his lips and walked forward while communicating with the studio: "Have you brought the mental protection device?"

In the weird studio in Yecheng, the surrounding real-time images captured through Zhu Jue's camera were captured. Even through a screen, the three of them were highly focused. Wu Tong and Li Qinglian had experience and had already put on mental protection devices. Olivi started it in a hurry. Li Qinglian turned around and confirmed before responding.

Tick ​​~ Tick ~

Standing at the door of the room, Zhu Jue could hear the dripping water from the faucet inside.

Take a deep breath, kick open the door, hold the green-winged pistol in his left hand and the long knife in his right hand to prevent any monsters from rushing towards him.

There was no monster from the imagined source of mental pollution, but the scene in the room did not make Zhu Jue relax his guard but became more and more vigilant.

The bloody smell mixed with the smell of the sea is constantly stimulating. An old-fashioned shaver is placed at the edge of the white porcelain sink. The blood on the blade has not yet dried out. In the center of the pool and around the lower extension pipe, there are more than a dozen dark brown octopus tentacle-like things scattered...

"Use a shaver to 'peech' on the octopus? This family is a little leisurely."

He curled his lips, Zhu Jue said a playful word, and the tip of the knife stabbed an octopus leg and placed it in front of him. He looked silently for a while, and threw it away casually.

"Wu Tong...No, Olivia, remember, remember to give this place a close-up when editing the short film. Do you understand?"

Zhu Jue was able to confirm that the "octopus tentacles" in front of him should be the product of the source of spiritual pollution monsters. He subconsciously wanted to call Wu Tong's name to make him highlight this part. Suddenly, he thought that there was a guy who was working as a vain in the studio, so he changed his words and said.

“I will remember.”

Olivi on the other side was stunned for a while before answering.

After walking around the house, I went upstairs to see the second floor. After confirming that there was no one, Zhu Jue came outside again, and Chen Li and the gangster leader were waiting outside.

"Let your friend come back quickly, her father is gone."

Standing under the eaves, Zhu Jue needs to confirm the whereabouts of Jeffrey Taros.

About half an hour later, Anna ran from the other side of the street and rushed into the room without saying a word. Zhu Jue did not stop her. The octopus tentacles alone would not cause much damage to people's spirit.

The girl was obviously very panicked after coming out of the house, and her eyes looked at the two strangers beside Chen Li in a bit of shock and suspicion.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Yecheng. I came to investigate the problems on the overseas islands where you originally lived. It is said that your father once caught a fish with human hands. I want to do an interview in person. Of course, the interview is paid, but I don't know where your father went?"

The evil ghost long sword and the green winged pistol were put into the weapon box early, and Zhu Jue pretended to be completely unaware of what was happening in the house and asked Anna.

"Isle...Isle! He must have gone back to the island. He has been talking nonsense for this period of time and has to go back to the island all day and say he is taking something..."

"But you told me before that you had no boat in your house, so you didn't go back to the island."

"If you want to land on the island, you don't have to have a boat yourself, don't you?"

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows and asked the gangster leader beside him in a strange tone.

"Yes! I think your dad may go and grab it... I have already agreed with others to land on the island together, just like the one who disappeared before."

"I think maybe we can go to nearby places where we might take a boat?"

Zhu Jue put forward his own suggestions "with the flow". Anna was obviously panicked because of her father's disappearance and hurriedly agreed.

The group found a taxi in the old city and followed the location provided by Anna to the nearest small pier.

Sure enough, as soon as she got there, Anna learned through the guard of the dock that a man who looked very similar to her father had snatched a speedboat and had gone out to sea.

"Chen Li, please help me take it to the previous seafood restaurant and ask Wood to help take care of it. It doesn't eat cat food. Just feed it seafood. I will come back to pick it up later and I will also give you a care fee."

Zhu Jue, who was watching the development of things, handed the wind chime to Chen Li and glanced at the gangster leader, who understood and took him to the boat and sampan that he found under his command.

Holding an umbrella, she stored a photo of her father she got from Anna on her phone. Zhu Jue rejected Anna's request to travel with her, and asked someone to adjust the system on the speedboat and automatically navigate to the island.

"It seems that this island really has to go."

Zhu Jue whispered to himself.
