I think my luck is turning around.

"Where have you been these past few days? I haven't been able to find you for days."

Lin Jingqing pulled An Ge into his arms, startling her. What was going on? She had only picked a fruit and hadn't wasted much time!

"What happened?!"

“You went to Hanqian Lake with Ji Xia before. Ji Xia counted the people who came back, but you didn’t come back. Do you know how worried I was?”

Lin Jingqing's voice was very anxious, while Ji Xixi slowly added, "At first, there were two people short of forty-nine, then Ji Xia counted again and it was one person short of forty-nine. After you were found to be missing, it became two people short of forty-nine. Now that you're back, think carefully about where your friend Zhan Yu went."

An Ge was stunned. She had only been picking a fruit for a short time, so how could it have turned into several days disappearing? Suddenly, An Ge realized the problem with time. Ji Xia had mentioned before that time flowed very slowly here, the kind that people couldn't even notice.

"I see."

An Ge's answer was calm: "The only one we need to find now is Zhan Yu! But where could Zhan Yu have gone? Where would Zhan Yu go?"

An Ge didn't think too much about it. The story of Zhan Yu and Xu Han had a sequel, and Zhan Yu definitely wouldn't have a problem so easily! An Ge sat in the courtyard and took out the fruit she had been carrying. It was a bright red and particularly attractive.

Lin Jingqing glanced at it but didn't say anything. An Ge looked at the fruit, then at Lin Jingqing and Ji Xixi, and also took the initiative to divide the fruit into two portions and give them to them.

"I picked these myself. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

The fruit was easy to break in half; one half, with the pit, was placed in Ji Xixi's hand, while the other half was held up in front of Lin Jingqing. An Ge's face showed apology and embarrassment. But her true thoughts were unknown; perhaps she genuinely felt sorry.

Seeing An Ge offer him the fruit, Lin Jingqing didn't object and accepted it. An Ge, full of anticipation, and the two ate it, watching their reactions with eager anticipation.

But they didn't react at all, as if they were eating ordinary fruit. After Ji Xixi finished eating, she kept the pit in her hand, saying she was going to throw it away. But An Ge stared at the pit in a daze. She pointed at the pit in Ji Xixi's hand and said, "I want this."

Ji Xixi didn't understand An Ge's behavior, but she still gave it to her. An Ge took it, then took out a handkerchief that Zhan Yu had forced her to put in her hand before, placed it on the handkerchief, carefully wrapped it up, and put it into her space bag.

At this moment, Ji Xia came in from outside the door. She saw An Ge but didn't say anything. The most important thing now was to find the control room. As for Zhan Yu, she also had to do her best to find her.

But where exactly is this control room? The team has almost finished their operations; purifying the island is definitely achievable. There's only one path leading to it!

"No one has been to the end of the road, no one has seen it." Ji Xia's implication was quite clear: could they just barge in now? Could they end this early?

As they spoke, they began to move. Lin Jingqing and Ji Xixi followed along the path. The path ahead was paved with stone slabs, and the vegetation had thinned out. It seemed that the "surveillance cameras" here were decreasing.

Sure enough, Xiao Bing was standing there, still with a friendly expression and tone.

Where are the four of you headed?

"Let's go take a look!" Ji Xia's aura was definitely not to be outdone; she immediately adopted a serious and dignified demeanor.

Xiao Bing's expression didn't change; she still smiled at them and said, "What's so interesting here? I'll take you to Hanqian Lake; the scenery there is much better than here."

Hearing Xiao Bing's words, An Ge and the other three did not want to say anything more. It was already the eighth day of the sunrise. Perhaps according to the original plan, the final operation would have started on the fifteenth day. However, since they had not found the control room, they could only force their way to the end of the road.

Lin Jingqing took a step forward, looking coldly at Xiao Bing. Perhaps he should resort to force!

Lin Jingqing gathered a ball of light in his hands and appeared in front of Xiao Bing in a flash, then smeared the ball of light onto Xiao Bing's face.

Xiao Bing was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

Lin Jingqing stared at his hands in disbelief. Had his abilities changed so quickly? But he couldn't think about it now. Lin Jingqing gestured for them to walk inside. They hadn't walked far before they saw the end of the road.

At the end of the road, there really was no road at all. The original stone path was gone, replaced by a lawn. There was nothing at all, just a lawn.

Then a person appeared on the lawn and walked towards them. Judging from this person's appearance, the hem of his clothes swayed with his steps, and he walked in a proper manner.

But something about her looks is not right. She looks familiar. Could this be Xiaoyuzhu?

An Ge's attitude was indifferent. If Xiao Yuzhu was here, then where was Zhan Yu? An Ge took a step forward and looked at the person in front of her.

"But do you know what 'dampening rain' means?"

An Ge's voice rang out in the empty space, and Xiao Yuzhu stopped not far away, looking at them with a slightly sad expression.

"Zhanyu is very happy now, she doesn't need to go back."

Xiaoyuzhu's voice was sweet, which matched her appearance perfectly. At this moment, Ange looked at her without saying a word, wondering how to see Zhanyu.

"James is outside. Would you like to see him?"

Ji Xia's voice rang out from behind, but at this moment, Xiao Yuzhu's emotions changed; it was mockery and sarcasm.

"Him? He actually came too!" Little Raindrop's voice was still sweet, but her sarcasm made them feel something was wrong; the story they knew wasn't like this!

"This disgusting person is so persistent. My poor child has been with her for so long."

What exactly is the story between you two?

The story he told is somewhat different from your description!

An Ge's voice came out, and Xiao Yuzhu looked at her. Xiao Yuzhu was also enthusiastic and did not hesitate at all.

"Come with me! We're going to a place where we can eat, drink, and tell stories."

Even the rain was there.

Seeing the little raindrop turn and leave, the four of them quickly followed. Perhaps what lay inside was unfathomable, but they had to go in to understand another perspective on the story, which was what they wanted to know.

They walked for a very long time before finally reaching a tree. There was a stone table and a few stone chairs under the tree. Zhan Yu sat there, leisurely drinking tea. She seemed very happy and content.
