Chapter 21 - Midnight (1/2)

That severed finger wasn’t longer than a standard finger. It was thrown ahead by Jiang Yunhuo into the darkness, but you could still see its appearance under the dim lighting from the yard.

It looked like a finger sticking out of the ground.

When Su Min said that, Jiang Yunhuo was even more afraid.

He had thought it was just internal organs that were thrown out, but he didn’t expect to see something like this. How did this happen whilst he was just killing off a fish?

Jiang Yunhuo asked: “Is that an animal finger?”

Because it was already rotten, you could see its tendons and joints. Jiang Yunhuo wasn’t certain what it was. After all, they weren’t medical students.

Su Min shook his head: “I don’t think it is.”

Jiang Yunhuo’s face turned even more terrible. He thought of something and whispered: “Is it a human-eating fish?”

Human-eating fish do exist, so he felt a little suspicious.

Su Min touched the severed finger with a stick and his heart gradually sank: “I was wrong earlier. This is indeed an animal’s finger.”

Under animal classifications, humans are also animals.

Jiang Yunhuo thought that he was referring to real animals. He breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the fish, “I’m not cleaning it anymore. I’ve lost my appetite.”

Su Min thought for a moment, “Wait. Kill the rest of the fish too.”

Although he didn’t know what his intentions were, Jiang Yunhuo did as he was told. He dug out the rest of the fish in the bucket.

Only the first one had something in its stomach. The rest of them were normal fish.

But this didn’t make Su Min relax.

Was “Murder Island” referring to these man-eating fish? It does sound plausible. So, the fish is the dangerous entity here?

Then this would be like those gruesome horror movies from foreign countries. He didn’t like those types of movies very much and these types of movies weren’t popular in his country.

If it really has something to do with the man-eating fish, then the sea was too calm when they came over by boat.

Su Min wasn’t certain whether this horror movie was about man-eating fish.

This was just beginning of the horror movie.

They stood on the side discussing with each other. Chen Xingzhuo and the others also noticed that something wasn’t right. They came over and asked: “What’s wrong?”

Su Min pointed at the thing on the ground.

Zhao Mingya immediately covered her mouth: “What is this?”

Although it was dark, they could still see the bloody severed finger on the ground. No matter how she looked at it, it looked like a human finger………

Jiang Yunhuo rubbed his eyes and said with a sigh: “This is something that I just cut out from the fish’s belly.”

Chen Yixing was afraid: “What’s going on?”

Chen Xingzhou frowned: “I’ll give Uncle He a call. This is a fish he gave us. He should know something.”

Su Min stopped him: “Don’t ask.”

This island isn’t an ordinary island and they didn’t know whether the islanders were good or bad. It is best to act like you don’t know anything.

He had a bad feeling about Uncle He.

Chen Xingzhou looked at him and finally lowered his phone: “Fine, I won’t ask. What should we do about this?”

“Leave it aside first.” Su Min said. “The other fish are clean. Are you guys still going to roast it?”

Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin shook their heads.

What a joke. There’s a finger in the fish’s stomach which look likely to be a human finger. How could they still dare to eat it?

And this incident would surely leave a small shadow in their hearts.

After that incident, they no longer had any interest in eating. As for the fish, no one dared to touch it.

They cooked up the vegetables and then ate some of their snacks to fill their stomachs.

Chen Xingzhou was a little frustrated, “Do you think we were thinking too much? When I looked up this island, everything was normal. There weren’t any news about man-eating fish.”

If there was such news, he wouldn’t have come.

Jiang Yunhuo guessed: “Maybe the islanders here all eat the man-eating fish. I respect them for their bravery.”

Su Min thought more deeply. Did this fish eat a living person or a dead person? He wasn’t sure. All he knew was that this island was very dangerous.

Chen Xingzhou pulled out his phone again: “I’ll get them to pick us up tomorrow. Let’s not stay here any longer.”

Su Min didn’t stop him. If they could leave, it would be the best option.

It’s just that things aren’t so simple.

Chen Xingzhou said that he wanted to return tomorrow and started to argue with the other party: “I can’t even pay you more? What do you mean money is out of the question……..I need to wait that long?”

After a full minute, he hung up.

Su Min could guess what had happened just looking at his expression: “The other party said that we need to wait a few more days before they can pick us up?”

Chen Xinzhou nodded: “He said the boat was already rented out and we need to wait until the other person returns it first.”

So even if you have money, it’s useless.

Su Min expected this outcome, “If that’s the case, lets go take a rest. We can figure out what to do tomorrow.”

Chen Xingzhou nodded. That was all that they could do now.

Despite originally booking three rooms, they decided to use two rooms tonight.

Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin shared a room, and the three men slept next door. If anything happened, they just needed to shout.

Su Min pointed out the location of the bathroom and warned them: “It’s over there. Uncle He showed me where it was earlier. I don’t recommend going.”

Several went to look and returned scared.

How is that a bathroom? It was more like a haunted house. The words on the door looked like it was written in blood. No one dared to go in.

Chen Yixin spoke timidly: “I…..I guess I won’t wash up.”

Although she couldn’t stand not washing up, if you asked her to go shower in a bathroom like that in the middle of the night, she would probably lose half her life before she’s even done.

Zhou Mingya also said: “Forget it, let’s just boil some water.”

We’ll wait until tomorrow and see.

Chen Xingzhou said: “I’ll boil some water for you and we’ll just have to endure it for the night. Tomorrow I’ll go and see if the bathroom is okay.”

Zhao Mingya nodded.

They still had water here. Using the water pipe, they filled up a few buckets. By the time they were boiled, it was already late at night, and the moon was right above them.

The two girls naturally used it first.
