After returning to the beach, Xie Chen deliberately took a long detour.
Although it wasn't exactly a serious road, it still emerged from the grass behind the woods.
But at least I can avoid being discovered by the group of tourists who are traveling with me.
As Xie Chen walked on the stone path, he patted the dead branches and leaves clinging to his body.
After secretly leaning against the wall of the house, Xie Chen stuck his head out of the corner and observed Wood and his father who were handling fish at the faucet not far away.
It’s just that I didn’t see anyone, so it should have been dealt with.
Only the young couple was left sitting on the steps in front of the house, talking and laughing about something unknown.
I can't see the coast from here, so I can't confirm the specific location of others.
I just don’t know if my father and mother noticed that I was missing.
It's better not to look for myself.
"well."
The most annoying thing for Xie Chen is that he has to explain these problems to these NPCs one by one.
Although this is not a mentally taxing job, it is something that consumes your temper.
Xie Chen checked the time. From the time he left the woods, it took him nearly ten minutes to get to this house.
He doesn't walk very fast either.
But when I think of Thor's elusive speed, I can't help but feel a little unsure.
The most important thing now is to find a way to get to the second floor first.
Xie Chen looked at the young couple sitting on the steps making love and sighed.
Just pray that they don't make too much noise and attract the attention of the people on the beach.
Xie Chen tidied up the mess on his body and walked over confidently.
Try to sound less reserved.
The two young lovers glanced at him, and the three people's eyes intertwined.
Xie Chen's facial expression was very natural.
He pretended to fan himself with his hands, then walked around them and walked into the house.
Fortunately, these two people didn't look over.
Xie Chen also immediately quickened his pace, turned around and left their sight.
Even though they never looked back to stare at him, for the sake of safety, Xie Chen still approached the surrounding counters and hid his figure.
After looking around for a while.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Sol hadn't come back yet.
Immediately afterwards, the line was placed in front of the bar.
Xie Chen straightened his back and walked over, then nestled under the bar and opened the cabinet in the middle. The walkie-talkie lay quietly inside.
Now it is confirmed that no one has been here.
I just have to hide somewhere and eavesdrop?
With Sol's vigilance, if what he was talking about was really secretive enough, he would probably check to see if anyone was around.
There was no place for him to hide in this shabby house.
After Xie Chen put down the walkie-talkie, he began to observe the surrounding corners.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on a gap in front of the bar counter and the side cabinet.
It's almost twenty centimeters wide.
There is a pot of rosemary flowers in front of it, but it is not that eye-catching.
Xie Chen breathed out.
It's just that this place is too narrow. If you want to hide in it, you have to sit down.
And you have to sit sideways and stuff your feet into the gap under the bar, otherwise you won't be able to hide in at this height.
"What's going on..."
Xie Chen frowned.
Unfortunately, I still can't think of any useful strategies, so I can only make do with it.
Xie Chenmao lowered his body and crawled over, then moved the bar table away little by little.
Because he leaned against the side cabinet, and then pushed his feet so hard, he had enough strength to move the bar naturally.
But when he hid in, he immediately started to have difficulties.
It takes no effort at all to pull it back on its own.
Although my physical fitness has indeed been strengthened, I can't help but sit half-sitting and the space is small.
This is pure torture.
Xie Chen gritted his teeth and pulled hard in front of him.
There was a squeaking sound from the wooden board under the bar.
It seemed as if part of the fixed wooden board had been broken apart by such a strong pulling force.
Xie Chen was covered in cold sweat.
If this bar counter is deformed, wouldn't it be immediately ruined?
Then what's the point of still working hard here?
Xie Chen looked regretful.
Just when I was about to struggle to get up and push the bar out again so that I could get out.
The sound of footsteps coming from outside the house made his movements freeze immediately.
"Mr. Sol, I think you should explain to us what's going on on this beach."
This voice was very familiar to Xie Chen. It was exactly his father's voice.
It seems that Sol should be back.
Xie Chen also wanted to hear what kind of explanation he would give at this time.
After all, he is not dead yet. In his mind, he will probably tell his parents about the monster he encountered in the woods.
But he didn't hear Thor's answer.
Instead, the footsteps became increasingly clear.
"It seems he is really anxious to come back."
Xie Chen thought to himself.
But such avoidance is obviously impossible to get over.
Another voice followed, but it seemed more rough and thick.
"Why are you also a manager at the beach? You have to be responsible for our life safety, right?"
"And there was a couple who said their son died on your beach. Is that true?"
Xie Chen knew clearly that this was Wood speaking.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, I, who was hiding in the dark, saw Sol's dark and deep face.
When asked by Wood, Sol turned around and sighed.
"There are a lot of things here that you can't understand."
"Don't be fooled by just a few words. You are almost middle-aged men and you should be able to know the pros and cons."
After hearing this, my father's expression didn't change much.
Just still insist on his own opinion.
"I don't care how deep the water is, and it doesn't mean I have much ability to go there."
"But I came here with my wife and children. I must be able to protect the safety of my family, right?"
"So based on this premise, should your beach management personnel give an explanation to us as tourists?"
Wood nodded beside him and echoed.
"That's right, we can't even leave, so aren't we here looking for trouble?"
Sol looked helpless.
"These things are really beyond my control."
"Because my knowledge is very limited, only a little bit more than you."
"But I don't know much. If you can listen to our beach management arrangements, you will naturally be able to ensure your life safety."
"The more we know, the worse it will be for you."
"You must know that people's curiosity never has an upper limit. This is a weapon that can kill people..."
Listening to Sol's words, Xie Chen, who was hiding in the gap, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and muttered: "Is this the rhetoric again?"
When I asked him in the woods before, he also refuted me in the same way.
"Are these indeed facts?"
For a while, Xie Chen also had such an idea in his mind.
If Thor really wanted to hide something from everyone, then why would those monsters be needed?
But in fact, this explanation is inconsistent.
After all, looking at that situation, those monsters are not under his control, and may even kill him.
But these words come back again, and you have to believe that all Saul's words are true.
The more I think about these things, the more irritating I become.
After all, there is no standard of measurement. They are just listening to everyone's one-sided words and adding their own subjective assumptions.
"You fart!"
For the first time, his father showed anger and pointed at Thor and cursed.
"Don't talk to me about these things. Just tell me what you need to say clearly. How long do you want to keep it to yourself!"
"You really kept us all in the dark, right? You still think we are all fools!"
Thor obviously didn't expect that this man would bite his tongue and not let go.
Just when his lips moved slightly and he was about to speak, his father pushed him back.
"I know you still want to push."
"But can I ask you first, where is my son now?"
"From the moment he noticed something was wrong, he disappeared after a while, and then disappeared again after a while."
"I hope you can ensure his safety."
"Whether it's true or not that the couple's son died on this beach, I don't want this kind of tragedy to happen to our family!"
Thor frowned.
"What?"
"You said you haven't seen your son yet?"
Thor was obviously surprised by his father's words.
After all, when he was in the woods just now, he was confronting him face to face, judging from the time just now.
He should be back by now.
"nonsense!"
When he mentioned himself, his father's mood became even more irritable.
"If he comes back, can I still talk to you here?"
Thor punched the counter nearby.
"How do you parents look after your children!"
"If something happens, who cares?"
Thor stamped his feet and ran out immediately.
But Wood, who was beside his father, stretched out his hand to stop him.
With his big body and round waist, it was easy for him to stop Thor, who was of average stature.
"Don't even think about leaving this house until you've said it clearly."
Wood's tone was calm, but gave people an unquestionable feeling.
"I don't have time to waste with you here."
"If that damn brat of yours doesn't listen to my dissuasion and still rushes to the woods, even if the King of Heaven comes, I won't be able to save his life."
After hearing what Sol said, his father immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.
"What did you say?"
"Have you really seen my son?"
Wood's grip loosened slightly.
Sol immediately pushed with both hands.
"Hurry up and let me go. If you don't want that kid to die, don't hold me."
"No one can save him if he continues like this."
