Chapter 197: Joke

The lid was lifted off to reveal a shocked face. It was Liang Long!

Her limbs were tied, and she was forced into the basket. A cloth was stuffed in her mouth. Her eyes widened, but she couldn’t make any sound. However, that was not accurate. She made a weak mumbling sound, but it was overwhelmed by the wind.

“It looks like Miss Liang is a lucky one.” Chen Ran looked down at her. His eyes studied her like she was a piece of art. Jiang Cheng interrupted him by walking forward to pull off the lid of the other basket. As expected... it was the aged woman.

However, compared to Liang Long, who was wrapped like a present, the aged woman only had a thin cloth bound around her wrists. It didn’t look hard for her to struggle loose. The aged woman still looked out of it. Her eyes were hollow, like her soul had been sucked away. Her lips trembled as she mumbled things that no one understood.

“Crazy...” Su Xiaoxiao commented coolly. Fatty’s throat moved. Then, the way he looked at Chen Ran changed. He didn’t think this gentle-looking man would use his teammates as experiments... and he did it so openly!

His goal was clear. The tied Liang Long was the experiment or, rather... the bait... To test whether the biker woman had been...

Jiang Cheng removed Liang Long’s gag. Fatty thought Liang Long would go into a rampage to curse Chen Ran, but... he heard nothing.

The rescued Liang Long didn’t even dare to look at Chen Ran. Her limbs were numb from being tied up for so long. However, even so, she still struggled to move away from Chen Ran to hide in the corner that the aged woman had occupied earlier. Her body couldn’t stop trembling.

Chen Ran was at ease. He didn’t become flustered or awkward due to the way his teammates looked at him. Fatty’s eyes flashed, and something was clarified. No one Liang Long didn’t leave with Chen Ran. The Doctor said that she wouldn’t dare. Liang Long wouldn’t dare to stay with the aged woman alone!

But she was forced!

The black mist surged forward like locust and covered up the bright sky. The black mist came from everywhere. This was not the real night but a strange mist.

After Fatty saw the black mist, his gaze dulled. The mist brought him a sense of familiarity. The fear that came from his heart gripped his body. His lips opened like he wanted to say something, but he held it in.

He turned to the Doctor. The Doctor’s face was hidden in the dark, but he couldn’t see the Doctor’s eyes. He wanted to tell the Doctor that he was not unfamiliar with the mist. The mist deep inside the forest... was of the same origin.

The darkness of the mist was like an endless swamp. One would involuntarily sink into it. Fatty had that experience before. Thankfully, the whale song echoed in his ears at the nick of time.

Fatty was startled. He suddenly realised something. It was the whale song that broke the mist’s control on him.

How could that be?

Shouldn’t the whales be...

“Friends, snap out of it.” Chen Ran clapped. His eyes shone with excitement. He grinned. “Our old friends are coming!”

Outside the window, on the black sea, a winding trail of light was hurrying towards the lighthouse.
