Chapter 400 The Mystery of the Isolated Island 1
Upon arriving at the New World, Zhong Ning opened her eyes and looked around at her surroundings, which resembled a hotel.
She stood up and saw the sea outside the window, realizing that she was on a ship.
Zhong Ning glanced at it only once before returning to bed and lying down: "Xiao Qi, transfer the memories."
“Yes, host,” Xiao Qi replied quickly.
Through her memories, Zhong Ning learned that she was currently on a ghost ship.
The passengers on the ship are not human; they just don't know they are dead yet, and they keep repeating what happened before they died.
According to recollections, a terrifying tsunami occurred at sea at night, causing everyone to lose contact with the outside world. The tsunami capsized the ship, resulting in the deaths of everyone, with only ten people surviving.
The ten of them survived only after drifting to a secluded island, where, due to food and resource shortages, their initial conflicts escalated into mutual slaughter.
On this isolated island, humanity becomes distorted, morality gradually disappears, and even normal people turn into ruthless killers who reap human lives for profit.
The story mainly revolves around ten people on the island. All we know is that they are all dead, and their resentment after death is so great that the events that happened to them keep repeating here.
The original owner, Wenluo, was one of the ten people. She was on vacation traveling to relax, but she didn't expect that after boarding the ship, she would encounter a tsunami and survive, but she still died on the island.
The memories on the island don't show who attacked whom, because the killings all happened in secret.
This is also a rather strange point, as this world doesn't have memories from a God's perspective, only the memories of the original owner.
The original owner died young, and she was the second to die. She was ambushed at night, pushed into the sea, and drowned. She didn't see the people or what happened after her.
"Xiao Qi, what happened?"
Xiao Qi explained, "Host, this is related to the side quest, so I can't reveal it. The side quest is to find the murderer who killed the original owner."
“Then I have to hold back and act the same way the original owner did back then,” Wen Luo said.
"Yes, host, will you accept this mission?"
Wenlu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, we'll go. There are only seas and islands here, so we can't get out even if we don't do any missions for now."
“Yes, host. If nothing unexpected happens, we should only be able to leave after completing the mission,” Xiao Qi said.
"Then, wouldn't I still be a ghost?"
Xiao Qi suggested, "Host, you can just cultivate directly and make yourself look no different from a normal person. It's not difficult for you."
"Well, you are right."
After figuring out what was going on, Wenluo sat up to wash up. While brushing her teeth, she saw what she looked like in the mirror.
The original owner was slender and graceful, thin but not skinny, with beautiful curves.
With fair skin and long, chestnut-colored curly hair, her appearance, temperament, and style all lean towards a mature, sophisticated look.
A black silk slip dress paired with her great figure makes her look incredibly charming. Her striking features make her look radiant even without makeup.
Wenlu was quite satisfied with her appearance this time. After washing up, she picked out a long dress from the suitcase of dresses that the original owner had brought and put it on.
In the ship's buffet restaurant, Wenluo carried a breakfast, found a window seat, and ate her breakfast while enjoying the sea breeze.
She occasionally glanced at the other people; everyone seemed normal, their faces showing the joy and enjoyment of their trip.
There were many people at the next table; they seemed to be families with their children on an outing.
A little girl with pigtails was eating a steamed bun, her big, bright eyes looking curiously at Wenluo.
Wenluo thought she was cute and smiled at her. The little girl smiled back. She was missing a front tooth, which made her smile both funny and cute.
"Eat quickly, we'll go play on the deck later," the adult next to the little girl urged her.
Wenlu looked away, finding it quite amazing; this world must have a special magnetic field.
Because when she used her spiritual power, she saw that the people in front of her were no different from normal people, and did not look like ghosts who had died.
It's a bit like time reversal, with everyone returning to how they were before they died.
She could also feel that her body was now just like everyone else's, experiencing hunger and sleepiness.
After breakfast, Wenlu went to the ship's supermarket to pick out some food, since there would be nothing on the deserted island, so it was best to bring some.
Although there is food in the space, it's not her style to only give out and not take in.
She took a lot of the food she liked, as she is easily full, and also some water.
Seeing that Wenluo had bought so much, the cashier asked curiously, "Why are you buying so much fast food on the ship?"
There are all kinds of food on board, and the restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes. Most people would rarely bring so much fast food and snacks.
Wenlu casually said, "The sisters are having a small get-together, and we're afraid we'll get hungry in the middle of the night."
Hearing her say that, the cashier understood and didn't say anything more. She quickly calculated the money and packed it up for her.
After shopping, Wenluo went back to her room to start cultivating. The ship would encounter a tsunami tonight, and she would just have to wait.
There were so many people on the ship, but only ten survived. With so many dead, this area must be filled with yin energy.
Wenlu cultivated in the space for more than ten days. When he came out, it was already night outside.
According to memory, the tsunami arrived in the middle of the night, when the people on the ship were either asleep or still partying and indulging in their revelry.
Without any warning, everyone was thrown into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
If seawater floods the boat, those who don't get out will die, and those who can't swim will drown or be bitten to death by sea creatures.
Wenluo had caught up on her sleep and eaten her fill in the space before coming out. Now she was full of energy, standing on the balcony of her room, enjoying the sea breeze.
The sea at night appears dark and bottomless, instilling a sense of oppression and fear.
She could already sense that the sea in the distance was not calm.
Before long, she saw the seawater ahead gradually rising, eventually surpassing the height of the ship: "A tsunami is coming!"
She didn't plan to inform anyone. Everyone on the ship was already dead. For now, she would remain still and focus on finding the murderer who killed the original owner of the body.
The roaring waves crashed towards the ship, causing it to lurch violently.
Wenlu closed the balcony door, turned around and put his suitcase and everything else in the room into his spatial storage, then calmly stood inside and looked out.
The tsunami was very powerful and came very quickly. The ship was continuously impacted, and many people noticed that something was wrong.
The crew had already discovered it and were initiating measures and requesting support, only to find that there was no signal and they couldn't even send out a distress signal.
"What's going on? Look, it's a tsunami!"
"It's all over! It's all over!" The people on the ship were in chaos, and they were constantly being tumbled and rolled on the ground by the tsunami, unable to even stand up.
