Chapter 26 - Shower (1/2)

Actually, that wasn’t quite right.

In fact, Su Ming had also encountered several people but the ones he really interacted with was only Uncle He and the two men in the bathroom. He didn’t know how many households there were living on this island.

After Uncle He left, everything was completely quiet. There was only the occasional sound of bugs chirping.

Zhao Mingya was filled with fear: “Are we really going to Uncle He’s place for dinner?”

She felt that something bad might happen if they went.

Chen Xingzhou was also very reluctant: “If we already finish cooking, he can’t force us to go.”

Jiang Yunhuo however disagreed: “How do you know? What if he uses violence to take us……….”

The three struggled over the thought of whether or not they should go.

Su Ming looked at Chen Xingzhou and asked: “You don’t want to go?”

Chen Xingzhou nodded: “Yeah. We haven’t been to Uncle He’s place, and we’re completely unprepared. Who knows what might happen?”

Su Min thought about it. He is the male protagonist for this horror movie so going to Uncle He’s place was a scenario that would undoubtedly arise.

Since it is an unavoidable scenario, the thought processes of the male and female protagonists should have never changed. That is to say, in the original horror movie, they probably didn’t end up going.

But if they didn’t go, the future would be even more unpredictable.

Su Min suddenly said: “Go eat.”

Chen Xingzhou asked: “Didn’t you say that we shouldn’t interact with them and act like we don’t know anything? Why did you change your mind?”

Su Min shook his head: “I don’t mean that. Since Uncle He specially waited for us today, there must be something going on. The reason why he wanted us to go was probably an attempt to test us out. If we refused, it would conversely make us more suspicious.”

Uncle He had stayed in the yard for who knows how long so that meant that he was determined to get them to have dinner with him. He didn’t know what would happen if they refused.

Zhao Mingya understood. As the female protagonist, her IQ isn’t low: “I understand Su Min’s intentions. If we go, we can pretend to be guests and if he asks us anything, we will just act normal.”

Chen Yixin rubbed her arm, “But what if we say the wrong thing?”

Su Min instructed: “Everyone pay attention to your expression and actions. If you can’t answer, leave it to me. Just act like you didn’t hear the question.”

Chen Xingzhou thought for a moment and changed his mind: “Okay then. I’ll hide a fruit knife in my pocket later.”

A fruit knife is used for cutting up fruit. He didn’t think that it would be used for this kind of purpose.

The five of them stood in the dark with only the thin moonlight shining down upon them and covering the entire island.

Su Min: “Let’s go shower first.”

The others agreed and went to the yard.

When they returned to their rooms, Su Min specially examined it and noticed that their luggage appeared to have been moved.

They naturally didn’t need to think to know who did it.

Su Min opened it and saw that the things inside also appeared to have been looked through. However, there wasn’t anything missing nor was there anything new inside.

Why did Uncle He go through their suitcases?

There are many possibilities. Su Min couldn’t determine the reason at this moment, but he could at the very least confirm that something was wasn’t right.

Chen Xingzhou walked over holding his phone, “They said the boat will be back in the next two or three days, so we still have to wait.”

They couldn’t use the internet here to buy tickets online so they could only wait around like headless flies.

Su Min expected this.

This horror movie takes place on this island so if they could safely leave the island, the movie will need to change its name.

He comforted him: “A couple of days it is then. We just need to pay a little more attention than usual. Didn’t we safely get through today?”

Jiang Yunhuo sat on the bed and continued to sigh: “I really want to fly away. This place is too scary.”

What holiday? He’s just getting scared all the time.

When he remembered that he was the one who found this island, Jiang Yunhuo wished that he could turn back time and beat himself up.

Su Min stood up: “You guys can go shower first.”

Chen Xingzhou shook his head: “Mingya and Yixin first. Yunhuo and I will wait outside and then we’ll see who goes next.”

Su Min had no objections.

When they took a shower tonight, they ensured that they had someone guarding outside.

When it was finally Su Min’s turn, he specially checked the vent to confirm that the thing he had put in earlier was still there.

Chen Xingzhou said: “I’ll sit here. Shout out if you need me.”

Su Min responded: “Okay, I’ll be fast.”

There was nothing complicated about a shower. He just needed to rinse himself, wash his hair and then he can leave. It won’t take more than ten minutes.

Zhao Mingya and Chen Yixin together took up about half an hour. It is said that they had cut down the time significantly because they were scared.

The lights in the bathroom was on, and everything was okay.

Su Min checked the room again and thought back to the incident at the sea, “Chen Su?”

There was no response.

Su Min felt reassured and proceeded to undress. This time he changed to a different showerhead. The final drops of bloody water from earlier today had left a shadow in his heart.

As soon as he twisted the faucet, water fell onto his head.

The shower water was okay and not as weak as it was before. It was also a lot cleaner.

Su Min cleaned himself off while thinking about the events over the past two days.

The body in the pit, the hand in the ocean, the body inside the walls and the severed finger in the fish………They were clear signs indicating that this island can kill people.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a scream.

Su Min was startled. When he returned to his senses, he saw something moving in the darkness ahead.

He quickly turned off the faucet and the screams also stopped.

The bathroom was empty. It was as if there wasn’t anything there and the sound earlier was just his imagination.

Su Min paused for a moment and then reopened the faucet. Water started to flow down.

Accompanying it was the scream. It seemed to be a little different to the one earlier and had become weaker.

Because of the water sounds, Su Min couldn’t hear it clearly. He was also confused as to why he would hear a scream.
