Chapter 168 Return to Dongdu
beep----

Accompanied by the loud sound of the whistle, a ship full of tourists slowly sailed out of the port.

The eye-catching blue hull shines brightly in the morning sun.

Even inside the training camp base located on the hillside, you can see clearly.

On the day after the Sea Festival, the ocean currents returned to normal and the route to Yong'an Island was resumed.

But many tourists still choose to stay, to stay in this paradise where they can find peace of mind.

In the office on the seventh floor.

Two figures stood at the window, looking towards the port.

"Jiandong, I'm sorry for wronging you this time."

Looking at the ship gradually moving away, Zheng Hongxin suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Jiandong's shoulders trembled slightly, then he shook his head and said:

"After joining the True Love Society, my real family is actually my friends in the society. Grandpa is too confused. Since he took the wrong path, he should be punished. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the people who died..."

Zheng Hongxin was pleased to hear this and said:

"I will let him die peacefully. As for his betrayal, only a few of us in the upper echelons know about it."

Chen Jiandong nodded silently.

Zheng Hongxin patted his shoulder and sighed.

Chen Hui can be said to have grown up under his watch. In order to gain a longer life, he chose to join the Zhenxiang Society and laid the foundation for the Zhenxiang Society on Yong'an Island. It can be said that he made great contributions.

Now, in order to avoid becoming a monster, he believed other people's lies and joined the mysterious Noah organization.

However, there is no such thing as free gain in this world. What you gain must be paid for an equal price.

As for the spiritual impact, it cannot be erased at the fundamental level.

Because it’s not just a lifetime thing!
The anchoring function of the Stele of Truth is only to mitigate the negative impact as much as possible, and to guide the soul consciousness of the members after death so as not to get lost in the chaos and darkness, and to be able to reincarnate smoothly.

The Noah Organization uses so-called "mental drugs" to forcibly suppress mental illnesses, which accumulate and become more terrifying when they erupt.

Thinking of this, Zheng Hongxin said again in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer. If I really want to meet you again in the future, I'll still have to rely on you to maintain my life..."

Chen Jiandong couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded:

"Old Zheng, this is the list that our salvage team has checked and confirmed. Please take a look."

It was Feng Kehai who walked into the office and handed him a receipt.

The above records all kinds of valuable things salvaged from around the cracks on the seabed.

Among them are ancient remains that the True Society values the most, as well as sundries such as shipwreck antiques.

There are also seaweed and tentacle-like meat balls that emerge from the depths of the sea, which are the perfect ingredients for making flavorful soups in the cafeteria.

After Zheng Hongxin took a look, he ordered:

"The ancient remains will be sent to the altar for preservation first, and everything else will be handled according to the old rules."

Feng Kehai then asked: "What about the prisoners? How should we deal with them?"

Zheng Hongxin's eyes suddenly turned cold:
"Come to think of it, we haven't had a blood sacrifice for a long time. Let's use them as sacrifices at the next Sea Festival."

Hearing this, Feng Kehai suddenly became energetic and seemed quite excited.

Then, he couldn't help but ask:
"Old Zheng, even though that girl provided us with information, she is the culprit that caused the damage to the Stele of Truth. Why don't you seize the opportunity to capture her?"

Zheng Hongxin shook his head and smiled:
"What's the point of catching her? The fact that she was able to successfully gain abilities back then shows that the Stele of Truth has already recognized her."

After a pause, he asked Feng Kehai a series of questions:

"Do you think she looks like an old friend? Have you ever wondered why the Stone of Truth recognized her?"

"Why did she appear at the critical moment to help us? Perhaps even the masked man knows her..."

"You mean, she is..."

"Hush, just know it in your heart."

Zheng Hongxin hissed softly, appearing mysterious.

Feng Kehai immediately shut his mouth, but his face looked even more excited.

....................................

The ship cut through the waves, sailed out of the harbor and into the vast blue ocean.

On the open-air observation deck, many tourists stood by the railing, looking at Yong'an Island which was gradually moving away.

A group of seagulls flapped their wings and kept chirping, circling behind the boat, as if to see them off.

Pan Wendi sighed and said with a lingering feeling: "We didn't have time to go to the volcano to soak in the hot springs, which is the most popular tourist attraction on Yong'an Island."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqiao couldn't help but glared at him in reproach:

"You really treat this as a trip. This time, thanks to Fang Cheng's help, otherwise we wouldn't be able to return to Dongdu smoothly."

As she spoke, she lifted her hair that was messed up by the sea breeze, stared at the man standing next to her, and then whispered:
"Anyway, I won't dare bring you out next time, lest I get scolded by my aunt."

When Pan Wendi heard this, his face suddenly fell.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Fang Cheng smiled.

Looking up at Yong'an Island which had become a blurred outline, he muttered to himself.

I will come back in the future. This is a great place for me to practice.

Perhaps if I had enough money, I could buy a villa by the sea on the island and come here to vacation and practice every winter, which would be a good choice.

On the deck, tourists leisurely watched the sea view and waited for the voyage to arrive at the terminal.

Inside the cabin, in a VIP room, the atmosphere was almost frozen.

Luo Lie's face was extremely gloomy as he glanced at the only four elite team members left around him.

His eyes then fell on a fat, greasy guy.

The former person in charge of the Yong'an Island stronghold was Tang Dayuan.

This guy was really lucky. He relied on his mental abilities to fake his death and deceive the mermaids, thus escaping with his life.

From him, Luo Lie learned the specific circumstances at that time and knew how his sworn brother died.

The entire pursuit team was lost in this mission, and a senior official was also killed. It will be difficult to cover up the matter.

Luo Lie couldn't help but feel hatred for the masked man who ruined his good deeds.

Suddenly I had a headache again, wondering how to explain to the board of directors when I return.

Because of this, I have lost a lot of hair in the past two days.

....................................

at dusk.

The setting sun shines on the tall buildings, and the sunset glows half the sky red.

A yellow taxi crossed the narrow street and stopped beside the flower bed.

Fang Cheng carried a shoulder bag and got out of the car.

He quickly took out a travel bag and a gray-white metal box from the trunk.

Then, carrying the bag in one hand and the suitcase in the other, I looked up at the tube-shaped building that I had not seen for over a week.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited and a sense of special intimacy.

When passing through the first floor passage.

Fang Cheng took out some specialties he bought from Yong'an Island and knocked on Wen Xin's door.

No one responded and the lights inside were off.

Thinking that Wen Huiyi might not have finished get off work yet, he gave up and continued walking upstairs.

When I reached the ninth floor, I saw that Zhou’s door was open and shouted inside.

But only Grandma Zhou came out to greet them.

Fang Cheng was slightly surprised and asked her where Zhou Xiumei was going.

However, Grandma Zhou was deaf, but she just kept asking about my health.

Seeing that the answer was irrelevant, Fang Cheng could only give her the gift and turned back home.

I opened the door, put down my bag, and a familiar scent hit me.

When I got home, I suddenly felt an incomparable peace of mind and body, but also a little tired, and wanted to have a good rest.

Fang Cheng stretched his limbs, opened the window to let in some fresh air, and tore off several pages from the calendar on the wall.

Today is January 1th, the 24th day of the th lunar month.

I spoke to my mother on the phone on Yong'an Island before and learned that my grandfather's surgery was scheduled for the 25th, which is tomorrow.

Although the trip was delayed, we still arrived.
