Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Aren't you going to tell them what that guy said?" Old Tang suddenly spoke, looking at Xia Mi and asked.

"Anything else?" Lu Mingfei looked at Xia Mi and Lao Tang suspiciously. From what Lao Tang said, it seemed that Xia Mi deliberately concealed something when she was narrating. It should be hidden in the fragment told by the crew member.

"I would say, I'm just thinking about which part to put that matter in." Xia Mi thought about it, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, wait for me to finish, I'll tell you about that matter later."

"Okay, then you talk first." Lu Mingfei nodded, not forgetting to be cautious.

"I asked the crew member how to see those islands hidden underwater, and he shook his head and said he didn't know." Xia Mi said, "He said those islands appear very rarely, only twice in the history he knows. But before those islands appear, some strange and supernatural phenomena may occur."

"I was just about to ask the crew member what was happening when Old Tang and I felt an unusual aura almost simultaneously," Xia Mi said. "The elements in the atmosphere became abnormally chaotic, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. The air above our heads seemed to be highly ionized."

"Damn, do you know what we saw at that time?" Old Tang interrupted again. He was a chatterbox and had a strong desire to express himself, but Xia Mi had been talking all the time, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"At that time, Lao Tang and I looked up and saw countless arcs of blue and purple light floating in from the distant horizon, quickly covering the entire sky." Xia Mi said, "It was night, and the sun and moon were not visible in the sky, but the world was as bright as day. The light of those streamers even covered the entire starry sky. They were beautiful, so beautiful that it seemed unreal."

"Hey, can't I say this part?" Old Tang protested, but no one paid any attention.

"Is it the aurora that covers the entire sky?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi in a low voice.

"Yes, actually I am not too surprised by the Aurora because I understand the principle of its formation. It may be a rare natural landscape for humans, but there are some dragons that can cause this phenomenon with their own power." Xia Mi said, "But the crew member with us was terrified. I heard his scream, and when I looked at him, I found that he was staring at the sky with wide eyes and a terrified face. The cyan and purple lights illuminated his pale face, and his expression was as terrified as if he had seen a ghost."

"I noticed something unusual, because as an old sailor with rich sailing experience in the Arctic Circle, he must have seen the aurora, even if the scale of the aurora this time was indeed amazing." Xia Mi said, "What's more suspicious is his reaction. Even ordinary people would be excited and thrilled when they see the aurora, but his expression was so terrified at the time, as if an old enemy had come to his door with a knife. I saw that his body was even shaking with fear."

"'God's Skirt'..." Lu Mingfei whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

"'God's Skirt', I heard these few words coming out of that crew member's mouth." Xia Mi said, "I asked him what the word meant, but he seemed to be terrified. He just stared blankly at the aurora in the sky, muttering 'God's Skirt', 'It's really God's Skirt', 'This thing has come to me again'... After these few words, his body trembled more and more violently."

"You don't know, that guy really seemed to be bewitched at that time, it was so creepy." Old Tang finally found an opportunity to interrupt, "It was only when I slapped that guy that he finally woke up."

"It was indeed Old Tang who woke him up with a slap. After he woke up, he pointed at the auroras in the sky and told us that auroras of this size are called 'God's Skirt' and are extremely rare. Sailors who sail in the Arctic all year round may not have the opportunity to see them many times in their lifetime." Xia Mi said, "He said the most important thing is that 'God's Skirt' is one of the reasons for the appearance of those underwater islands!"

"According to him, those underwater islands have appeared twice. The first time was his personal experience more than 20 years ago, and the other time was even earlier. But according to the word of mouth on the Yamal, every time an underwater island appears, the God's Skirt is a precursor." Xia Mi said, "After saying this, his eyes became even more terrified. He stared blankly at the back of me and Lao Tang, as if there were a group of aliens standing behind us."

"What's behind you?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi. In fact, he had already guessed it.

"Logically, there should be a dark sea behind Lao Tang and me, because we saw just a minute ago that there was only endless sea and dense floating ice in front of us." Xia Mi said, "But the moment Lao Tang and I turned around, I admit that I was a little shocked. A huge iceberg stood in front of us, less than 20 meters away from the bow of the 'Yamal'. I am very sure that there was nothing in front of us before, and this behemoth seemed to appear out of thin air."

"Sure enough." Lu Mingfei whispered, "All the elements are gathered. Uncle Chu is right."

"The crew member was indeed frightened when he saw the iceberg, but he did not lose his mind. I noticed something very strange, it seems that he was not worried about the Yamal hitting the huge iceberg." Xia Mi said, "I suddenly remembered the rumor that more than 20 years ago, the Yamal sailed into an iceberg that was visible but untouchable, and then encountered the underwater 'Island of Death'."

"I did react at that time, but unfortunately I was too ignorant." Having said this, Xia Mi glanced at someone meaningfully.

"Oh my god, how could I react? Who would have thought that the boat was about to hit the mountain?" Old Tang was obviously a little anxious. He defended himself, "So what's wrong with me defending myself? Wasn't it for everyone's safety? None of you stopped me at that time, right?"

"You attacked without even saying hello, who can stop you?" Xia Mi glared at Old Tang, "Don't you really think you're over-defending?"

"What did he do?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

Xia Mi nodded at Lao Tang, indicating that he should confess himself.

"Isn't it just blasting the 'Jun Yan' at the iceberg?" Old Tang's expression was obviously a little unconvinced.

"Is that an ordinary 'Jun Yan'? Someone who doesn't know would think you were firing a Vulcan cannon!" Xia Mi retorted, "And did you really only fire a 'Jun Yan'? What about the 'Zhu Long' that came after that?"

"Holy crap! Is this true?" Lu Mingfei was also shocked. He looked at Old Tang with wide eyes and asked, "Old Tang, you still use 'Zhulong'? So violent?"

Chapter 1125 The Island of Death Reappears

"Zhulong" ranks 114th on the Word Spirit Sequence List and is a well-deserved world-destroying Word Spirit. This ability brings the destructive power of the fire element to the extreme. The releaser, through long periods of meditation and chanting, can ignite all the fire elements in an area. Its power can destroy a city or evaporate a lake in an instant, and can even detonate underground magma and cause volcanoes to erupt.

"Jun Yan" was exaggerated enough. He released "Zhu Long" on the 'Yamal'. Did Old Tang want to destroy the ship?

"Don't listen to her nonsense! I just have this plan. Do you know what plan means? It's something that I'm about to do but haven't had time to do yet!" Old Tang argued for himself, "Do you know how harsh the conditions are for releasing 'Zhu Long'? In my current state, even if I can really release it, it will cost me half my life. I just saw that 'Jun Yan' has no effect on the iceberg, right? The incomplete 'Zhu Long' is actually not much stronger than 'Jun Yan'."

"Go to hell, you're not that strong. You can fool ordinary people, but you're trying to fool me? Can a world-destroying level Word Spirit be of the same nature as an ordinary dangerous Word Spirit? Even if it's an incomplete world-destroying level Word Spirit, your 'Zhulong' that has been weakened ten times is still not comparable to 'Jun Yan'!" Having said that, Xia Mi did not forget to turn around and comfort Chu Zihang, "I don't mean anything bad about 'Jun Yan', your 'Jun Yan' is very strong and great, this guy has a problem with his brain."

"You're the one with a problem in your brain!" Old Tang gave Xia Mi a weak counterattack like an elementary school student.

"Let's be serious, Old Tang." Lu Mingfei rubbed Old Tang's shoulders, "Then why didn't you release your 'Zhulong' in the end?"

"Because I was interrupted by this guy, I mean physically." Old Tang pointed at Xia Mi and touched the back of his head. "This guy jumped up and slapped me on the back of my head. It hurt for more than half an hour. You don't know how strong this guy's hand was. My head was buzzing at the time, as if I saw how naughty I was."

"If I don't stop you, will we have any way out after your 'Zhu Long' is released?" Xia Mi asked Old Tang, "When 'Jun Yan' didn't hit the iceberg, you should have thought that it was not a physical entity. If 'Jun Yan' didn't work, would 'Zhu Long' work? Is this thing just a matter of more or less flames? And you didn't see that your 'Jun Yan' had almost paralyzed the guy next to us."

After Xia Mi reminded him, Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered that there was a crew member of the 'Yamal' on the deck at that time... That crew member was an ordinary person. He might have heard that some people in this world have special abilities, but he had never seen one with his own eyes, let alone a word spirit like "Jun Yan" with great visual impact.

It was still the "Jun Yan" released by Old Tang.

Anyone would be scared to death if they saw someone suddenly create a Vulcan cannon out of thin air next to them, right?

"That guy's psychological endurance was pretty good. After he pinned down Old Tang, the Yamal sailed into the range of the iceberg." Xia Mi continued, "Just as the rumors said, the huge iceberg was indeed passable. From inside, you can see the ocean, glaciers, and the aurora in the sky."

"Then do you know what that iceberg is?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi curiously. Even with Chu Tianjiao's rich experience, he couldn't determine the origin of the iceberg, but Xia Mi might know.

"Well, I understood it after I went in." Xia Mi really lived up to Lu Mingfei's expectations. She nodded and explained, "The iceberg is the same as the aurora in the sky. In essence, they are plasma phenomena formed when the elements of the atmosphere are disordered to a certain extent."

"However, the appearance of the aurora is not interfered with, while the formation of icebergs is deliberately controlled by humans," Xia Mi added.

"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"You can think of it this way: someone made Nibelungen appear in the Arctic Circle. When Nibelungen overlaps with the real world, the huge elemental difference between the two will cause the high-speed flow of various elements." Xia Mi gave an example, "It's like using a straw to connect a bottle full of water and a relatively empty bottle together. The water in one bottle will pour crazily into the other bottle."

“Oh, the elements in Nibelungen are more concentrated, just like a bottle full of water, while the elements in the real world are relatively thin, just like a relatively empty bottle.” Lu Mingfei nodded. “Once Nibelungen and the real world are connected, the overly concentrated elements will flow back into the real world. Is this the principle of elemental turbulence?”

"That's right." Xia Mi nodded and said, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

"I figured it out." Chu Zihang also spoke up, "So the scale and elements of each elemental turbulence depend on the type of Nibelung. For example, if it's Old Tang's Nibelung, the element that overflows more is fire. If it's your Nibelung, the element that overflows more is sand. The Arctic Circle is the Nibelung of the King of Sky and Wind, so phenomena like aurora and mirages appear."

"As expected of the strongest science and engineering guy in Kassel College, he's incredibly smart." Xia Mi winked at Chu Zihang, "You got such a good boyfriend?"

"Hehehe, please be careful of your influence in public and stop showing off your love!" The only single dog in the room started barking.

"So back to Brother Lu's question, when the Sky and Wind King's Nibelungen was connected to the real world, the chaotic elements formed the so-called 'God's Skirt' and mirage-like phenomena." Xia Mi explained, "The owner of Nibelungen did not deliberately control the generation of the aurora, but he used his super high control over the elements to gather the chaotic plasma into a huge iceberg that can be seen but not touched."

"So this iceberg is equivalent to a man-made thing similar to the Nibelungen Gate?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Hmm... not quite accurate." Xia Mi thought about it, shook her head, and denied Lu Mingfei's statement, "It's more accurate to say it's a beacon, or it's an 'outer gate'. Entering here doesn't necessarily mean you can enter Nibelungen, but the real entrance to Nibelungen is hidden in this huge illusion."

"These two Odin brothers are really capable." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but sigh.

"They both... do have some skills." Even with Xia Mi's temperament, she couldn't help but admit this.

"After a while, all the crew members on the Yamal ran out. They came to the deck and saw the entire huge ship passing through the iceberg. They had seen a similar scene more than 20 years ago, but seeing it again, everyone was obviously shocked." Xia Mi said, "Except the previous crew member, his attention was no longer on the aurora, icebergs, and possible islands under the sea. He stared at us... To be more precise, he stared at Lao Tang, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes."

"Most people in this world would be frightened when they see the Dragon King's ability, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "Not to mention that guy isn't even a half-blood, he's just an ordinary person."

"It's not just surprise and shock." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "I can even see the hesitation in his eyes. His lips trembled several times. It seems that he wants to say something to us, but he can't say it."

"What does he want to say?" Lu Mingfei was also a little curious.

"He didn't say anything at that time, but the other crew members kept chattering." Xia Mi said, "I heard their voices full of surprise and fear, saying that this iceberg actually appeared, and those strange shadows under the sea were about to appear. They stood on the deck, looking at the sea with nervous eyes, and kept repeating in their mouths that they were going to repeat the same mistake again, and the nightmare had come again."

"For those crew members, the experience 20 years ago was probably like a nightmare." Lu Mingfei sighed and said, "That nightmare destroyed their lives, took away their companions, and destroyed the Yamal. After so many years, they may not have come out of that nightmare yet. Now that they encounter it again, those terrifying memories are really a repetition of the same mistakes for them."

"It's possible that they were hoping that this incident wouldn't happen again when they set sail," Chu Zihang said. "On the one hand, it was a nightmare experience more than 20 years ago, and on the other hand, it was a good reward for the trip. Maybe deep down they were afraid of this memory, but at the same time they were secretly looking forward to it happening again, so that they could get closer to the truth of more than 20 years ago. But when the old scene appeared before their eyes again, their psychological defenses still collapsed."

"The crew reduced the speed of the 'Yamal' to the minimum. After about a few minutes, a crew member suddenly pointed to a certain place on the sea. His voice was full of excitement and fear, and he shouted, 'Here!', 'This thing really appeared again!'" Xia Mi said.

"Island under the sea?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Well, Lao Tang and I stood on the side of the deck, quietly looking at the sea. We were not as excited as the other crew members, but to be honest, I was a little nervous at the time." Xia Mi said truthfully, "It is very impolite and even provocative to approach someone else's Nibelung rashly. This is an unwritten rule among us kings. This is the first time I have been so close to the Nibelung of another dragon king, especially the Nibelung of a guy like the King of Sky and Wind. If we are not careful, Lao Tang and I will face the threat of death."

"Is that guy's sense of oppression so strong?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Nonsense, I am not as good as them in terms of hard power, and Old Tang is only a half-baked one now. If there is only one Odin or his brother in the Nibelungen, it would be fine, but if the twin kings of sky and wind are both there, we will be completely suppressed." Xia Mi said, "If that guy is unwilling to talk and does not give us a chance to negotiate, and treats us as food delivered to his doorstep, and only wants to eat us, even if Old Tang and I don't die there, we will at least be skinned."

"That's really dangerous." Lu Mingfei felt a chill on his back.

"There is a group of islands under the sea. A group of white islands look like huge icebergs sinking to the bottom of the sea from a distance." Xia Mi said, "This is also the first time I saw the true face of Nibelungen, the King of Sky and Wind. There are buildings similar to altars on several islands, and some islands are bare. There is a towering tree growing on one island. They wrap around the island in the middle, and the island in the middle is covered with densely packed black square boxes."

Lu Mingfei nodded subconsciously. Xia Mi’s description was basically consistent with Chu Tianjiao’s... but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t put his finger on it for a moment.

"You mean, there are several islands that are bare, and one of them has towering trees?" Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi and asked, "Are there nothing on those islands?"

"Nothing." Xia Mi didn't even need to think, and shook her head decisively, "To be honest, before I came to the North Pole, I never thought that the Nibelungen, the King of Sky and Wind, was like this. I couldn't even see the theme and purpose of this Nibelungen."

A few bare islands, and an island with towering trees... Lu Mingfei felt a chill in his heart, and he finally understood where the previous sense of disharmony came from.

In Chu Tianjiao's description, there has never been an island with nothing. Even the island with an altar had white stones and obelisk-like buildings on it, not to mention the island with plants and giant trees.

What’s more important is that in Chu Tianjiao’s description, there are more than one island with towering trees!

But why did Xia Mi and Lao Tang only see one? What about the plants and giant trees on the other islands? What happened in the past twenty years? What if the trees on those islands were really the King of Sky and Wind's plan to recreate the World Tree? Then there was only one tree left, did it prove that their plan was complete?

"Then what?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi in a low voice.

"Then the crew came to us, saying that what was underwater was the 'Island of Death', exactly the same as what they saw more than 20 years ago. Their captain, companions, passengers and the man jumped into the sea and were swallowed by the islands." Xia Mi said, "Some said they died, some said they were trapped on the island, and some said they sold their souls and signed a contract with the devil. In short, they disappeared from this world forever."

"Those guys kept talking for a long time but didn't say anything useful. The only conclusion I came to was that jumping into the water directly was the way to reach the Nibelungen," Xia Mi said. "The crew members also advised us that before anything terrible happened, if we changed our minds, they would activate the power of the Yamal to the maximum and flee this dangerous place as soon as possible. It seemed that the fear of death and the unknown had suppressed their desire to explore the truth of that year."

Chapter 1126: Breaking into Nibelungen

"Of course Old Tang and I are not happy about this. Didn't we come here just to find this place? No matter if it's the 'Isle of Death' or 'Avalon', it can't fool us. This must be the lair of the King of Sky and Wind. I know better than those humans." Xia Mi said, "I was a little nervous at first, but when I really saw the Nibelung, I couldn't help but get a little excited."

"Excited? Do you have any quirks?" Old Tang couldn't help but complain to Xia Mi, "A female pervert who gets excited when breaking into someone else's house."

"In your life, how many Nibelungs have you been to besides your own?" Xia Mi rolled her eyes at Old Tang. "Besides, they're not homeless, and I'm not breaking into their houses. This is at most a visit. Do you understand what I mean by a visit?"

"What a visit! You're invited to visit someone's home? Do you believe I will beat you with a broom until you become half paralyzed?" Old Tang rolled his eyes at Xia Mi in annoyance. "So you're not going to tell Mingming and the others about that?"

"Why are you rushing me?" Xia Mi pouted impatiently, "I'm just getting to the point now, isn't that what I was about to say?"

"When the 'Yamal' was approaching the island under the sea, Lao Tang and I were about to jump in, but the crew member at the beginning suddenly stopped us." Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang and said.

"You just said he seemed to want to say something to you?" Chu Zihang still remembered this detail.

"Yes, he didn't intend to stop me and Lao Tang, but to take advantage of the last moment to tell us what he had been struggling to say." Xia Mi nodded and said, "The crew member said that not everyone disappeared on the legendary 'Island of Death'. Some people escaped and survived."

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. He glanced sideways at Chu Zihang and found that Chu Zihang had a similar expression to his.

"Who is the person he is talking about who survived the Island of Death?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi calmly.

He was guessing in his mind that it might be Sasha or Chu Tianjiao, but Sasha had already become a vegetable, which was no different from being dead. If it was a living dead, would that crew member have to mysteriously bring Xia Mi and Lao Tang along to talk about this matter?

And from the perspective of those crew members, Sasha just jumped into the cold Arctic Ocean. They had no way of knowing whether he eventually reached the legendary "Island of Death".

After Chu Tianjiao left the "Island of Death", he really found the crew of the "Yamal". At that time, the crew was imprisoned in a detention center by the government... Lu Mingfei didn't think that Chu Tianjiao happened to find this crew member, but it might be a companion he was familiar with. Later, the news of Chu Tianjiao's appearance might have spread among those crew members.

"Sasha." Xia Mi said, her eyes looking at Lu Mingfei's face, and she slowly uttered the name, "The crew member said that the person who escaped from the 'Isle of Death' and survived was named Sasha."

"Sasha..." Lu Mingfei's eyes trembled and he muttered the name silently.

"Yes, Sasha Rebalko, a retired member of the Alpha Team and the acting captain of the Yamal." After Xia Mi's eyes moved away from Lu Mingfei's face, she suddenly glanced at Chu Zihang, "He was the former boss of this crew member. According to this crew member's description, more than 20 years ago, Sasha led a group of senior executives of the Yamal to follow that man into the sea. Ten hours later, they reappeared on the sea on the way back to the Yamal. At that time, Sasha had fallen into a deep coma, with extensive burns on his body and one arm missing. It seemed that he had suffered a horrible experience from hell."

"He is in a serious coma, which means that this crew member actually has no communication with the man named Sasha." Lu Mingfei asked, "Then how does he know that Sasha escaped from the 'Isle of Death'? Is it just based on his serious injuries?"

"No." Xia Mi shook her head and said, "According to the crew member's description, he and Sasha had communicated about ten years ago."

"Sasha woke up?" Lu Mingfei was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei deeply again.

"Well, the crew member said that Sasha woke up one day after being in a coma for more than ten years." Xia Mi said calmly, "He got the news by chance, and after getting the news, he rushed to the hospital in the city where Sasha was. He spent a lot of money to get connections and met the former acting captain."

"In the crew's impression, the former acting captain was a rough and heroic man, but what he saw in the ward was a skinny man with long brown hair that was not very nutritious and hung down on his head. Deep eye sockets could be vaguely seen through his hair." Xia Mi repeated the crew's words, "He leaned on the bed, looking out the window with lifeless eyes. He was wearing an ill-fitting white hospital gown with one sleeve empty. The crew didn't even recognize that it was his former acting captain at first. The person he saw at that time seemed to be a completely different person from the man in his memory."

"He repeatedly asked the attending doctor to confirm whether the man was Sasha Rebalko, and the doctor repeatedly confirmed his words. The doctor also told him that the patient had just woken up from a long-term coma and his mental state was very unstable. He might be suffering from mental disorder and amnesia, so he asked the crew not to stimulate him." Xia Mi said, "The crew nodded, and he slowly approached the person on the bed. He found that the man was very dull, and he didn't turn his head until he got close to the bed. At that time, his heart was sad, because the Sasha in his memory was an alert and vigilant person, but the person on the bed was as dull as a piece of wood."

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but frown, and a pang of sadness rose in his heart.

"Until the man on the bed's eyes met his, they stayed on his face for a long time, always looking at him, as if he had fished out some scattered fragments from distant memories." Xia Mi said, "The crew member couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he subconsciously called out "Captain". After that, he could clearly see some light in the dull eyes of the man on the bed, as if the familiar voice had awakened some of his memories again."

"So did Sasha recover his memory in the end?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Recovered... not really recovered." Xia Mi's expression was a bit strange. "Anyway, according to that crew member, he stayed in the ward for a long time, trying to awaken Sasha's consciousness in a gentle way. After trying for a long time, Sasha finally responded, but his expression was very awkward, like a child who had just learned to speak, trying to express a very complicated story."

"What did Sasha say?" Lu Mingfei asked immediately.

"He first mumbled a few names, most of which the crew member didn't hear clearly. He only heard one or two of their former companions and a man named 'Vincent.'" Xia Mi said, "The crew member said it should be Vincent, and he should be right."

Vincent, Lu Mingfei nodded, and heard a familiar name again. The low-level crew member of the 'Yamal' was indeed not qualified to meet the real captain, so it was normal that the crew member did not know Vincent's name.

"Then there were words like 'fire', 'the fire burned everything to death', 'huge snake', 'terrible tree' and 'God'," Xia Mi said. "The crew member said that these words came out of Sasha's mouth one by one, and they couldn't even form a complete sentence. Sasha repeated these words over and over again with a panic expression on his face, as if these things had left him with a horrible impression and were deeply imprinted in his mind."

"After that, there was no useful information. The crew member stayed there until very late. Before leaving, he found the front desk of the hospital and wanted to know about Sasha's medical expenses, but the front desk told him that someone had paid for Sasha's medical expenses for a hundred years." Xia Mi took a deep breath, "The crew member was scared. He asked the nurse on duty for confirmation many times, and finally confirmed that the other party was not joking. The nurse on duty told him that the person who paid for the medical expenses had come more than ten years ago, not long after Sasha was admitted to the hospital, but he did not leave his name or any contact information. At that time, she did not work in this hospital. This incident was also considered a big curiosity in this hospital, but this is all she knew."

"Oh yes, the nurse on duty also told him that the city's flower shop would regularly deliver a fresh flower to Sasha's ward, and the period would also be one hundred years." Xia Mi added, "The nurse thought that the two things were probably done by the same person. The crew member said that his intuition told him that the person who did this was probably someone who escaped from the 'Isle of Death' at the same time as Sasha, but this was just his guess, and he had no way of knowing the truth."

The crew member's intuition was correct. The person who did these two things was indeed the same person, and he was indeed the person who experienced the "Island of Death" with Sasha... Xia Mi's retelling and Chu Tianjiao's narration completely overlapped.

"That crew member, why did he specifically tell you all this?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked Xia Mi.

"He explained it to us at the time. He finally said that after he knew someone could get out of the 'Isle of Death', he couldn't help but have a little hope in his heart. Since Sasha is still alive, could the other companions also be alive?" Xia Mi said, "This is just a little hope he has. Even if those crew members are dead, he still wants to know the final outcome of his companions, how they died, and where they died. This is just a little obsession of his, but this obsession has troubled him for many years. He wants me and Lao Tang to see for him what happened to his old friends in the end. It doesn't matter even if we don't see it in the end."
