The rain was still rushing. There were fewer vehicles on the mountain road here, and it was raining heavily today. I haven’t seen a car passing by for a long time, and there are no cameras nearby.

You Xi sat in the car and put on windproof glasses (for rainproof), added a lightweight and waterproof jacket to the short-sleeved sleeves, replaced the sandals on her feet with sneakers, and then got off the car and put the electric car into space.

She came back to the edge of the cliff, took out ropes and other climbing equipment, and first borrowed tools to climb down the steepest part of the initial section of the cliff, then collected the equipment, and moved skillfully on the ramp.

In just over ten minutes, she successfully went down from the cliff about a hundred meters high to the woods in the valley.

Although the bus body was damaged, it was not disintegrated as a whole. A shrub and plants and many branches were crushed. Finally, the front of the car was stuck by the thick tree trunk, and the rear of the car fell to the ground, stuck between the two trees at an inclination of nearly 30 degrees.

There is a strong smell of gasoline and blood in the air, which cannot be blocked even if the heavy rain is used.

You Xi quickly walked into the woods and noticed something strange before getting close. It was too quiet ahead, there was no cry of pain or cry, no cry of help, and there was no gasp that humans should have.

She quickly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, through the broken glass, she found that there was not a single person on the bus.

There were no angry drivers, nor panic tourists. The car that was half full just now is empty, with blood everywhere inside, and some broken glasses were hanging on the broken glass, but strangely, there were no one inside!

All of them are missing.

How is this possible?

Even if the bus fell out of the broken glass window while falling off the cliff, there would be no one left!

All the luggage, backpacks and other items were in the bus, scattered and mixed with blood, but there was indeed no one inside.

She checked the ground near the bus, intending to track down the footprints, but today's rain was too heavy. The heavy rain washed away everything, and even if there were traces around, they were washed away by the rain.

You Xi felt a huge question. From the time she saw the bus rushing off the cliff, to the call in the car, to the decision to go down the cliff to investigate, change clothes, then take out the climbing tools and equipment, and finally land successfully, the whole process will not exceed half an hour.

After half an hour, if she really wanted to leave, she could indeed leave the bus accident site. In addition, there were dense forests nearby, with overlapping shadows of trees and loud rain. She could not even notice that the people on the bus left, which could indeed cause the illusion of missing all personnel.

But the problem lies in the logic. Even if people in the bus are conscious and can move, they won’t get out of the car and go for help in the past half an hour, right?

This is simply illogical.

You Xi looked around several times, trying to find some abnormal phenomena similar to Wukong City, but there was nothing strange around here except this empty bus.

Although You Xi wanted to hide the reward, the inquiry was fruitless and it was useless to stay. She took out her cell phone, took a few photos inside and outside the bus, and then chose to leave.

She was not familiar with the road conditions in the valley and was unable to navigate the signal, so she finally chose to climb the cliff again.

Of course this time she changed a place and found a road that was easier to climb up the cliff, and climbed the mountain road on the other side in the rain.

After checking around, she quickly took out the car, opened the door and got into the car.

After this incident, she decided to postpone the trip of the Hebola village, drove to the fork at the next branch of the mountain road, and drove to the coastline avenue to the west.

After the car left the hill range, the phone finally had a signal again. She called Tang Yatong and Lin Wu directly and made an appointment with them to meet.

An hour later, Tang Yatong came to the agreed cafe on Moonlight Bay Beach Avenue to meet You Xi. At this time, You Xi had already wiped his hair, hands and face in the nearby bathroom and changed into refreshing and dry clothes.

Tang Yatong came from near the water house on the southwest side of the island. She saw a train passenger there and followed the passenger.

She told You Xi that the traveler was also investigating the disappearance of someone on the island, but he was unlucky. It was not other tourists who disappeared, but his own companions.

"I remember that person, he was a novice passenger who arrived at Paradise Island on the same train as us. He was sitting in carriage No. 4, and when we went to the door to get off the bus, we passed by. He was wearing a school uniform and looked quite young, but he was not as panicked as other novice passengers, asking around in a daze.

Maybe it was because of his age, I probably read the infinite stream novel you mentioned before, so I quickly accepted the status quo. There was another novice passenger sitting nearby. Later, when I got off the bus, they were together and should have formed a team. Now the one who is missing is his companion."

After hearing this, You Xi thought of something: "If they are all novice passengers, then this is their first stop. It is speculated that both of them will have unlimited currency. Now that his companion is missing, it is not rejected that he is killed by veteran passengers and pick up equipment."

"I was so suspicious before, but he took a picture of something." Tang Yatong said, taking out his mobile phone and clicking on a video. "I saw that although he was anxious, he was very steady during the investigation, and he did not wantonly suppress the indigenous people like some novice travelers who had obtained skills at the beginning, so he showed up to communicate with him and wanted to ask his friend clearly about it.

He was very cautious. After moving into the water house, he bought a camera and installed it on the doors and windows. Before his friend disappeared, he happened to go out to buy dinner. When he came back, he found that his friend was missing. The camera on the balcony of the water house caught something."

Because it was night, there was a shallow sea area outside the balcony of the water house, and there was no light, so the video was very dim, and only a person's feet were vaguely photographed, and the man seemed to be resting on the lounge chair on the balcony.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something, and suddenly sat up, half of the back appeared in the picture, looking around with caution. After a while, probably because he didn't find anything, he leaned down again. Just as he lay down, something suddenly appeared in the dark picture, and quickly knocked off the camera.

The sound of the camera falling alarmed the people on the balcony again. The camera could not take a picture of the latter when facing the floor, but a young man was terrified in the video: "What are you-"

The sound came to an abrupt end here, followed by a series of struggling movements and dull guttural sounds. The man seemed to be blinded by something. Then, with the sound of water, the picture fell into silence.

The video ended. You Xi took Tang Yatong's phone, dragged the screen again to the place where the camera was knocked out, then paused to enlarge it, and took a screenshot.

On the picture is a piece of arms that swayed during the process. They look thin and unlike humans. There is a film that sticks between the five open fingers, like an animal's webbing. At the same time, from the arms to the fingers, there is sticky blood.

"Did you find it too?" After checking, Tang Yatong clicked on the blood mark photos taken in the villa next door in her mobile phone album. After comparing the photos with screenshots, she would find that the strange fingers with webbed faces were highly coincident with the blood marks of the villa.

This is not a blood seal, it is a blood seal.

"Train!" You Xi remembered the bloody handprints that appeared outside the window glass before entering the station, and intuition that this was the same thing.

So is the crisis at the site this time a biological mutation?

But what does these two disappearances have to do with the bus just now? It wasn’t that a group of mutant creatures took away the entire bus, right?

When You Xi and Tang Yatong discussed and analyzed two things, Lin Wu called. He went to the local residential area near the sea on the east side of the island today, and it took some time to come.

"Have you read the news?" he asked on the phone. "If there is a TV around you, turn it on immediately, or look at your phone, and the Internet has already spread."

You Xi did not hang up the phone, but Tang Yatong clicked on a popular online news platform.

The platform has been flooded with a video, and it is no longer clear who was the first to publish it.

The video is on a seaside cliff on Paradise Island. Looking at the surrounding light, it should be around dawn. In the picture, a blood-red creature with slender arms stopped rushing toward the camera after the snatch sound.

It looks like a human, but it is hunched over, its hind legs are slightly bent, its front limbs are on the ground, and it makes hoarse and painful screams. It is obvious that it was hit by a bullet just now, but because it is covered with blood-red liquid, it is impossible to tell where the injury is.

It was very angry and seemed to want to pounce again, but the person who was taking the phone to shoot it again. This time it was several consecutive shots, and the snatching sound forced the blood-red creature to retreat continuously, and finally retreated to the cliff position and jumped down from there.

If it were just such a picture, it would be fine. At most, this video was a new weird creature discovered, but before jumping off the cliff, the thing spoke in a hoarse voice: I will come back... to find you...

Although this sentence is unclear, it is indeed human language that can be distinguished.

Is a blood-red creature a human?

Or has this biology learned human language?

This video completely exploded the Internet, and someone recognized the place, on the cliff on the coast on the east side of Paradise Island.

"Have you finished watching?" Lin Wu asked on the other end of his phone, "Ordinary tourists will not rob, it should be a video taken by a passenger."

"Well, Sister Yatong and I have also found new discoveries today." You Xi immediately sent the video that Tang Yatong found to Lin Wu.

Through the photos they took in the villa next door, the videos that Tang Yatong got, and the videos posted online, we can know that the same type of creature appeared in the three events.

The locations of the three incidents were all on the beach, which means that the thing should have entered and exited from the water. Those missing people are likely to have been dragged into the sea.

Police Officer Ron led someone to investigate the matter secretly. It is temporarily impossible to tell whether he represents a private organization or an official. He also took biological blood research in the operation team, which at least means that Ron is also investigating this creature.

In addition, it can attack people on islands like humans, and it is always at night or around dawn when the light is the worst and most tired.

It can be seen that the creature used to be human, just like a black reptile beast. For some reasons, it has become like this now, but it still retains some human ways of thinking or instinct, and will organize and plan actions.

When You Xi and Tang Yatong analyzed and summarized these, they both received a prompt at the same time.

Tip: If you track down the whereabouts of the "blood man" and find the reason for the formation of the "blood man", you can get hidden rewards.

When You Xi saw the new prompt task, she was not very happy. There were too few clues about the incidents at the site this time. She always felt like she was surrounded by fog, and her thoughts were trapped in a narrow space and could not wait and see the overall situation.

However, she still chose to share this prompt with her teammates one by one with the previous bus tips. Maybe she couldn't find the answers she could find. Tang Yatong and Lin Wu.

After Tang Yatong asked Lin Wu where he was, he asked him not to come here for the time being. It was raining heavily today, and it was inconvenient to investigate the work, so they decided to go back to the villa first.

Before Lin Wu was about to hang up the phone, he heard You Xi suddenly shouting at the other end and wait.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" His heart tightened.

"You should pass Palm Road?"

"yes."

"When passing Palm Road, remember to go to the dessert shop at the intersection to pack more coconut desserts, which one is delicious."

“…”

You Xi hung up the phone, got up and called the waiter. When the other party saw that she was about to leave, he immediately moved the two big boxes out of the cafe with another waiter and brought her into the trunk of the car for her.

You Xi happily closed the trunk and explained to Tang Yatong who was looking at him: "I ordered thirty cups of coffee before you came, packing thirty cups of cakes and hot dogs, and the things were finished. Is the time just right?"

Tang Yatong:...

Stocking up is a disease.

That night, while the three of them were eating hot pot around the coffee table in the living room of the villa, the news that You Xi had mentioned about the bus falling off the cliff appeared in the TV news.

In the news, the heavy rain had stopped. It was evening. The bus falling among the woods in the valley was shining in the sky. People from the fire brigade came to put out the fire. However, because the terrain of the valley was complex, the fire truck could not drive in, so they could only go to the nearest deep pool to pump water to put out the fire.

However, during this process, huge fires exploded frequently on the bus body, and the fire became more and more intense. When the fire brigade successfully extracted the pool water, everything was too late...

The picture quickly cut back to the studio. The broadcaster said with a serious expression that the bus was in a serious fire after falling off the cliff, and none of the drivers and tourists on the bus survived and were buried in the fire.

At present, the reason why the bus fell off the cliff is still under investigation. According to experts' analysis, it may be that the road was slippery and the vision was blocked, so an accident occurred on the sharp turn.

If You Xi was not on the scene and witnessed the whole process with his own eyes, I would probably really think it was just an ordinary traffic accident and skipped it.

"How could it be that fire? It was raining heavily when the bus fell off the cliff, and all Mars had been extinguished by the rain."

Lin Wu frowned: "Why do the official people lie?"

"Even though I didn't lie about the fire, when I went to check it, there was no one in the bus. How did they come to the conclusion that all the people were buried in the fire?"
To be continued...
