Chapter 20 - Bathroom (1/2)

Perhaps it was because they were nearing the island, a sense of danger replaced his seasickness.

Su Min’s entire body stiffened.

Chen Xingzhou was still happily planning out his future: “After staying here for 10 days or half a month, Mingya will definitely reconcile with me.”

Su Min had the urge to beat him up.

Dream on. He was afraid that before they could even reconcile, everyone on this boat would die on the island.

This time, a total of five people came. Apart from the male protagonist Chen Xingzhou and the female protagonist Zhao Mingya there was himself, Jiang Yunhuo and Chen Yuxin.

Jiang Yunhuo is their other roommate, and Chen Yuxin is Jiang Yunhuo’s girlfriend and also Zhao Mingya’s classmate.

It was the two of them and Chen Xingzhou that decided on coming to this island.

Su Min sighed. He thought internally that it was too late to turn back now. The horror movie still needed to go on.

After half an hour, the boat finally reached the shore.

There weren’t many houses on the island, but the scenery was indeed quite good. It was covered in abundant greenery that you could see from the beach.

And since it was almost evening, they could see the sun setting. It was extremely beautiful and wouldn’t pale in comparison to the photos in the magazines.

They got off the boat and Chen Xingzhou went to find the organiser.

After a few minutes, he came back, “Okay, the other party will come and pick us up. We just need to go a little further in. The house is on the mountain.”

Zhao Mingya spoke curiously: “There’s no one at the pier.”

Jiang Yunhuo said: “This island is sparsely populated and isn’t very famous. What can we do if there are many people around?”

Su Min followed behind them without saying anything. They only thought that it was because Su Min as still suffering from seasickness.

They walked down the pier and soon reached the foot of the mountain. At this point, the roads had become a little complicated.

Chen Xingzhou stood at the intersection waiting for someone to come pick them up.

At this moment, Chen Yixin suddenly screamed and jumped: “Why are there so many toads? Scared me to death.”

Hearing this, they noticed that there was indeed a lot of toads hopping around along this road. It was as if they had reached their nest.

At first glance, it looked like the road was completely filled with them. The girls refused to move.

Su Min wasn’t afraid of these things but when he saw the road ahead completely covered in them, he also felt his scalp going a little numb. He could tell that something wasn’t right with this island.

This new horror movie is more psychologically stimulating compared to the previous “University Thriller”.

Su Min heard a noise and turned around: “There’s a granny coming over.”

The granny slowly waddled over along the road while supporting herself with a stick. Soon, she reached where they stood.

Chen Xingzhuo whispered: “She looks like she’s blind.”

Su Min was about to say that something wasn’t right and he realised that that was indeed the case. This granny is blind so that was why she was looking at them like that.

Granny asked: “Why did you come here?”

Chen Xingzhuo stepped forward: “We came here to play.”

The granny coughed: “Play? There’s nothing fun here. Hurry and leave. This place is not fun. If you don’t leave soon, you won’t be able to go back…….”

Chen Xingzhou frowned. He didn’t know what to say.

He had already booked a time for the boat to come back to pick them up so he wasn’t worried at all.

The granny was still muttering: “There’s nothing on this island. Nothing fun. There’s also nothing in the mountains. You should go back………”

Su Min’s heart trembled.

In horror movies there would always be a grandma or grandpa who would live until the very end or play the role of someone warning the movie protagonists. This granny was probably one of them.

He thought about it and whispered: “Granny, why can’t we play here? Did something happen?”

If they asked about it at the beginning, the rest of the journey might a little easier.

Just when the granny was about to respond, a middle-aged man’s voice travelled over from behind: “Were you the ones who contacted me earlier?”

The blind granny turned around and hobbled away with her stick.

Chen Xingzhou quickly answered: “Yes, it’s us.”

The middle-aged man spoke with an unpleasant expression: “Why did you only tell me that you’re coming today? I haven’t prepared yet.”

Chen Xingzhou scratched his head: “We agreed before and said that it’ll be today.”

The middle-aged man wasn’t flustered: “The one who contacted you before was my younger brother. He left the island so I didn’t know about this. You can call me Uncle He.”

Since he said that, Chen Xingzhou didn’t ask any further questions.

He indeed had contacted another person and arranged it so that they would stay in the house and leave when time was up. He had already transferred the money over.

Uncle He led the way and they bypassed the road filled with toads. Instead, they went up the mountain from the other side.

Su Min looked back. The blind granny had disappeared and he didn’t know where she went.

After about ten minutes, they finally saw the house.

This meant that the people who had been on the boat for an entire afternoon could finally get some rest.

Uncle He opened the door with a key. It was a very ordinary bungalow. There were only beds and a desk. Even the light was an ordinary lightbulb and the walls were painted white.

After they settled in, Su Min finally fell asleep in the room.

The script the cinema gave him mentioned that an accident would happen to him while he took a shower. Since he would be safe before then, having a nap now wasn’t a problem.

After waking up, he felt a lot better. He got up and went outside.

The sky was already dark. Chen Yixin outside was preparing the tools needed for an outdoor barbeque whilst humming unknown songs.

Su Min went outside and wandered around a little. When he was about to go back, he had a feeling that someone was watching him, but he couldn’t see anything.

Within the pitch-black darkness of the night, there seemed to be an unknown monster hiding in waiting.

Su Min recalled a movie called “The Fog.”

In that movie, there were supernatural monsters hidden in the fog whilst on his end it was darkness. The ending of that movie was extremely terrifying. The ending of this one must also be equally terrifying.
