Chapter 284: Slice, slice, slice the airplane!
Translator: Stardu5t Editor: Kurisu
A green dot of light radiating golden light?
Song Shuhang suddenly had a bad premonition—it couldn’t be the mysterious island, right?
As he was thinking about it, Gao Moumou’s next sentence confirmed his guess.
”It’s getting closer and closer, I indistinctly see a… small island?” Gao Moumou opened his eyes widely and used his hands to rub his eyes as hard as he could before laughing bitterly, and said, ”That small island... seems to be floating in the sky? As expected, I must be hallucinating, right?
Tubo forced a smile and said, ”It indeed is a small island.”
Yayi answered, ”It indeed is floating in the sky.”
Song Shuhang was speechless.
This was cheating... at first, he thought that if he really ended up chancing upon the ‘mysterious island’ on this trip to the East China Sea, at most, he wouldn’t enter it and everything would be fine!
As for the seniors in the group—Senior Three Reckless, Senior North River, and Senior Ancient Lake Temple, when they chanced upon the mysterious island, they decided on their own accord to enter it.
And Song Shuhang, who already knew that entering the mysterious island would cause memory loss, naturally would not choose to enter it.
But who knew the mysterious island was so shameless... it actually pulled the trap card!
If not for Gao Moumou and Tubo pointing out that there was an island floating in the sky, Song Shuhang, who was unaware of everything, might have ended up charging straight into the mysterious island!
‘Why is it that the seniors in the group had the choice whether or not they wanna enter the mysterious island, but I, on the other hand, feel like I’m being forced to enter it?’ Song Shuhang pondered deeply for a moment, and silently touched his chest.
Even though he couldn’t see it anymore, he knew that there was a karma thread on his body connecting himself to Lady Onion on the enlightenment stone, and there was yet another karma thread on Lady Onion’s body, connecting herself all the way to ‘Nine Lanterns’ in the ‘city in the sky’.
If the island in the sky was the mysterious island, then could the karma thread be behind all these, insisting on getting him on the mysterious island?
Wasn’t this an evil trap?!
Hehe, you want to get me on the island, but on the contrary, I simply will not be entering . Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Hence, he said to his roommates, ”I feel that there is definitely something fishy about that island, we have to avoid it!”
”Agreed, that’s what I think too.” Whenever Gao Moumou looked at the island floating in the sky, it would give him the creeps.
On the other hand, Tubo was a very curious young lad with an exuberant desire for knowledge. ”I think that perhaps we should go check it out?”
”Gao Moumou, what is the location of that small island? We will go around it.” Song Shuhang’s ears automatically ignored Tubo’s opinion.
”In that direction.” Gao Moumou’s finger pointed at the location of the ‘floating island’ in his eyes.
Song Shuhang nodded and changed the plane’s route, carefully avoiding the floating island’s coordinates.
The plane continued flying for a very long time…
”Have we avoided it?” Song Shuhang asked.
Right before his eyes was only pitch-black darkness, so he could not see the floating island and could only ask Gao Moumou.
”We have!” Gao Moumou nodded.
Song Shuhang secretly heaved a sigh.
Next… the plane continued advancing.
As it was flying and flying, suddenly, extremely bright rays of light appeared right in front of the plane.
Gao Moumou, Tubo, and Yayi could not adapt to the sudden strong light in time; they instinctively squinted.
We have finally gotten out of the pitch-black zone? Song Shuhang rejoiced in his heart. Since he had already opened his Eye Aperture, his adaptability to bright light was very high.
Song Shuhang was able to adapt to the extremely bright light before his eyes in the blink of an eye.
He looked greedily at the scenery in front of him, in a bid to find out where he exactly ended up at.
When he opened his eyes… Song Shuhang teared up immediately.
Appearing in front of him was a huge and vast forest. The forest was so tall that its big trees reached high up to the sky, touching the clouds. There were giving him a feeling of ‘my drill will pierce the Heavens’. Song Shuhang did not specialize in plants, hence he could not identify the species of the huge trees. But when he saw those trees, he somehow felt that they did not fit in the present era.
At the end of the forest was a vast gra.s.sland that stretched as far as the eyes could see. The gra.s.sland was so vast that when the wind blew over it, the gra.s.s ‘rolled’ like waves in the sea.
Thereafter… Song Shuhang saw a familiar landscape.
It was a huge, crescent moon-like lake. It was the exact same lake he saw within the ‘city in the sky’ in his dream on the plane earlier.
When he saw the crescent moon-like lake, Song Shuhang felt his liver faintly hurting. If the dreamland he saw on the plane was real, hiding within the crescent moon-like lake would be a huge fish that was more than ten meters long. Additionally, that 10-meter part of its body that was revealed was only a small section—G.o.d knew how scarily long the hidden part of its body in the lake would be!
At the same time, he knew beyond doubt that the island below was the majestic ‘city in the sky’ he saw in his dream. At the same time, he was at least 70% sure that the island in the sky was the mysterious island.
Don’t tell me I’m destined to lose my memories? Tears rolled down Song Shuhang’s face.
Furthermore...Why did I end up entering it when I had already clearly avoided that island in the sky?
Can anyone tell me what is happening?
Unless... what Gao Moumou and the rest saw was ‘a mirage’, the reflection of the floating island. Instead, the actual floating island was just in front of the new flight route, waiting for them to walk right into the trap?
That was too despicable.
