Chapter 624 Let’s go and see it at night
But after reading it, Paimon was even more confused, "Does the letter say... that you should secretly go to her at night?"
Paimeng felt that everything was confusing, as if something unimaginable had happened in a place he didn't know about. "Just now, you and Lin Feng seemed to have known that something like this would happen... Why is that?"
Paimeng's curiosity was completely aroused, and she kept asking Kong questions. She really couldn't understand why she received such a letter, and why Kong and Lin Feng seemed to have noticed it a long time ago.
Hearing Paimeng's question, Kong looked at Lin Feng, "Do you want me to tell you or do you want me to tell you?" Kong felt that it would be better for Lin Feng to explain this matter. After all, Lin Feng was thoughtful and might be able to explain it more clearly. Kong was still organizing his thoughts at this time and had not yet fully thought about how to explain this matter to Paimeng.
When Lin Feng heard what Kong said, he quickly waved his hand and said, "You come and explain it to Paimeng." Lin Feng felt that the communication between Kong and Paimeng was more direct, and Paimeng might understand it more easily if Kong explained it. Moreover, Lin Feng also hoped that Kong could explain the situation to Paimeng in person, so that Paimeng could understand the whole story better.
Seeing that Lin Feng gave him another chance to explain, Kong smiled mysteriously, then looked at Paimeng and said, "I have confirmed her eye contact. Shinsuke doesn't intend to let us leave at all." Kong explained briefly, but Paimeng obviously didn't fully understand. Although Kong's explanation was concise, Paimeng didn't fully understand the deep meaning. She only knew that Kong and the strange woman seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, but she didn't understand what specific connection this had with Shinsuke Hiiragi not letting them leave the island.
The moment Kong finished speaking, Paimon's eyes widened visibly, "Huh? What on earth are you doing behind my back?" Paimon stamped her feet and crossed her arms over her chest. She looked cute and angry. She felt as if she had been excluded from an important secret, and her heart was full of confusion and grievance.
"Oh, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Kong smiled helplessly, looking at Paimeng's appearance, he felt a little reluctant. But this matter was too complicated at the moment, and he didn't know where to start so that Paimeng could fully understand.
"Then why don't you explain it clearly!" Paimon persisted, staring at Sora as if trying to dig the answer out of his eyes.
"Things are a bit complicated, and I can't explain them all at once. Anyway, we have to do as the letter says and go meet that lady at night. Maybe we can find out Hiiragi Shinsuke's true purpose and a way to leave the island." Sora said patiently, hoping that Paimon could put aside his doubts for the time being.
"Okay, okay, I hope you won't hide it from me anymore!" Paimon snorted, reluctantly agreeing. But she was still full of curiosity and uneasiness, not knowing what she would face tonight.
After figuring out everything, Paimeng was relieved. After all, in this journey full of twists and turns, it was useless to worry too much. The three of them found a relatively large rock on the outlying island, and then slowly lay down to rest. Every day was too tiring. The physical fatigue was secondary, and the main problem was the mental fatigue. The continuous troubles and unknown challenges made their nerves always tense.
Kong lay quietly, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, his thoughts drifting away involuntarily. The experience in the island in the past few days was like a chaotic dream, with all kinds of people and things intertwined, making him a little overwhelmed. The pedestrians coming and going had different expressions, some hurried, some leisurely, but they all seemed to be hiding their own secrets. The rumors on the streets were obscure and vague, as if hinting at some hidden conspiracy. In the brief confrontation with various forces, every word and every look was hidden, forcing him to stay alert at all times and think about the deep meaning behind it.
Lin Feng closed his eyes, seemingly resting, but actually sorting out the information he had collected in the past few days and thinking about the next plan. In his mind, various clues were intertwined like a tangled mess, and he tried hard to sort them out one by one. From the casual chat of the dock workers to the innkeeper's hesitant expression, every detail could be the key to solving the mystery. He knew that in this strange and dangerous place, the slightest mistake could lead to an irretrievable situation, so he had to make a comprehensive plan to ensure that they could leave the island smoothly and move on.
Paimon mumbled a few words, turned over, and soon began to breathe evenly. Her little body curled up with a satisfied smile on her face, as if all her troubles had disappeared in her sleep. Perhaps in her dream, she was swimming in a sea of delicious food, with juicy grilled meat, sweet and delicious fruits, and desserts that melted in her mouth, allowing her to enjoy a carefree and happy time.
The three of them lay on the rocks all night, and nothing unexpected happened this time. As for the fact that Lin Feng took out so many Qingxins, Paimeng and Kong did not ask much. As for Kong, he had already guessed that Lin Feng's identity was not simple, and he could accept that he took out so many fresh Qingxins. In his opinion, Lin Feng seemed to be hiding many secrets. He could always take out unexpected things at the critical moment. There must be unknown forces behind him to support him. Every move and every word of Lin Feng seemed to imply that he had a special mission and background. Although Kong was curious, he also understood that at this sensitive moment, too much questioning might bring unnecessary trouble, so he chose to remain silent.
As for Paimon, she just lay down and fell asleep. There was no time to ask. No one knew how she could fall asleep as soon as she touched the stone. It was really too magical. Her small body seemed to have an innate ability to relax. No matter what environment she was in, she could fall asleep quickly. Looking at her sleeping appearance, Kong and Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little envious. It was rare to have such a relaxed mentality during this stressful journey.
After the sun completely set, the number of people on the outlying islands decreased significantly. The night was like a huge black curtain, slowly covering the entire outlying island. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, making the leaves rustle. The rustling sound echoed in the silent night, as if it was a mysterious movement played by nature, adding a bit of weirdness to this quiet night.
The three of them looked at each other, quietly climbed up from the stone, and then slowly moved towards the Kanjo Bugyo Office.
