Chapter 115 – A lone island (1/2)

“Okay,” I nodded, however I still thought in my heard, I need to find a way to hide it even if we really find the exit later.

I held Chen Weier’s hand and walked slowly over to the other side of the cave where there was light. The cave was really dark, but the ground underneath us was really flat, and it didn’t use much energy for us to walk.

“What is that!” Weier suddenly stopped in her tracks, hid behind me, and pointed to the area in front where blue light was being released. “Ghost…!”

Ai, she’s such a girl! She had thought she had already turned into a ghost just now, yet now she’s beginning to be scared of ghosts. However I wasn’t scared at all in my heart, what’s there to be afraid of, I’m Yama’s sworn little brother, isn’t any ghost that starts getting pretentious in front of me asking for death?

I looked over in the direction Chen Weier was pointing towards, as expected, there was something glowing with blue light not far away. Haha, I can’t have bumped into some sort of diamond or other worldly treasure right?

“Weier, stand here and don’t move, I’ll go take a look first,” I said to Chen Weier who was behind me. I quickly walked in front of the blue light, squatted down, and took a closer examination, then got shocked. The illuminating thing was actually a skull! On the side of the skull was a pile of white bones. I angrily sent the skull flying with a kick and swore, fuck this, I thought I got some treasure, I didn’t expect it to be so demotivating.

“What was that?” Chen Weier asked weirdly after seeing I made the thing disappear with a kick.

“Oh… It’s a pile of animal bones,” I thought about it, it was better to not tell Chen Weier that they were human bones, to prevent this chick from getting frightened.

“Then why was there blue light?” Chen Weier asked in confusion.

“That blue light is actually phosphorus flames, there are a lot of phosphorus in animal bones. After the animal dies, the corpse will decay, then chemical reactions will occur. Phosphorus will turn from phosphorus acid to phosphorus gas. Phosphorus gas is in gas state, and has a very low boiling point, it will ignite under normal temperatures upon contact with air. After phosphorus gas is created and ignited, blue light will appear, which is the normal will-o’-the-wisp that we normally see!” It couldn’t be helped, so I explained scientific knowledge that I have seen on the internet in my previous life.

“So it’s like this! Liu Lei, how do you know so much? Sometimes when I’m with you, I feel like I’m your meimei, sometimes I’m not even as matured as Yanyan-meimei,” Chen Weier murmured.

Hearing Yanyan’s name, my heart suddenly sank. She must have heard the news about Weier and I falling down the cliff right? She must be really worried now right? This is the girl I love most my entire life, and finally became my lover after I got reborn, thinking to that point, I had no mind to think about the ploy to trick Weier into staying in this cave.

I took out my mobile phone from my ski suit, and turned it on. It really could turn on, I felt a sense of joy. The quality of this block was great, it could still be used even after being soaked in water for so long.

It looks like the components wouldn’t immediately oxidize after the phone is placed in water during winter. It could still be used for some time after the water dried!

I waited for a long while, and still didn’t notice the signal symbol appear on the mobile phone screen. Fuck, there isn’t a signal in this cave! Simulation net just doesn’t do it, thinking about how China Mobile’s GSM already have internet coverate even on the seas, allowing people to read novels with their phones even on boats, now… I still have to wait several years.

I helplessly shut down the mobile phone, and placed it back into my pocket. I’ll see if there’s signal if we really find the exit later.
