About one nautical mile from the Saiwei Resort Island, there stands an arched reef.

Standing on the reef is a "person" that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Even the eyes of the Sister Eye need to carefully lock onto the current area and focus before they can see a human-shaped outline and the hat curtain hanging around the body.

Grandmother came along too, but she came alone and quietly.

Although two Wanted Poster were issued, this was still the area she was most worried about and most curious about.

Even she herself couldn't sneak around doing things without being noticed by the corner. Her Grandmother was also very curious about what kind of being could have such great abilities.

If it weren't for the world's restrictions on the appearance of monsters,

If it weren't for the fact that each of the sisters in this year's class is outstanding and has excellent complementary abilities, Grandmother wouldn't have dared to let them come into contact with the Wanted Poster.

Furthermore, there was another point, which was also a temporary "insurance" added by her Grandmother, giving her a greater chance of obtaining the Wanted Poster.

"Hmm~ I didn't expect Wu Wen to be able to do this much, to fake her death in the seam and fool everyone, and then bring a 'Connector' to secretly infiltrate the sorority."

If I hadn't used a 30-year-old body and the projection of my original hand this time, I really wouldn't have been able to see through this almost perfect disguise.

That's fine... Isabella, that piece of trash, has no right to touch such a "wanted" Wanted Poster. On the contrary, Wu Wen can cooperate with everyone very well.

Moreover, Mr. Di, as the connector, is secretly lurking among them, which may serve as a crucial trump card to turn the tide.

As long as you eventually return to my embrace, it doesn't matter.

Hopefully, the mortality rate won't exceed 50%. If even two of them can achieve Advanced Status, it will greatly help the sorority's expansion.

Just as the Grandmother was looking forward to it, the calamities she had set up within a certain range seemed to resonate with her.

The cluster of hands growing on her body also moved slightly, and the hand that was covering her eyes opened completely, revealing the eyes hidden within—special eyes.

First, I looked down at the sea, then at the islands in front of me, and finally looked up at the sky.

The usually reserved Grandmother suddenly frowned.

"It seems we need to prepare for the worst..."

Mercury Hotel (Saiway Island Branch)

Bite!

The elevator arrived at the 101st floor.

A chef dressed as a waiter pushed a food cart to the suite door.

Ding-dong! After the doorbell rang, a young man with a great physique, wrapped in a bathrobe, opened the door to pick up his meal.

"Hello, this is your meal. Since the portions are quite large, we'll leave this insulated food cart here with you. The cleaning lady will take it with her when she comes to clean your room after you leave for your trip."

"OK."

Luo Di took the somewhat heavy food cart and went back inside.

The moment the door closed, the Corner Space was instantly filled in.

He pushed the food cart to the balcony area, where four sisters, already dressed in swimsuits, were soaking in the water.

Shia is swimming freestyle back and forth, exercising all the time.

Sister Eye floated on the water like a floating corpse, her pupils unfocused as she stared at the sky.

Hua Yuan was hugging the class monitor from behind, his hands groping her upper body, his head resting on her shoulder as he whispered something.

When they smelled the aroma of food, they all gathered at the edge of the pool where Luo Di was, and Sister Eye also floated over casually.

Instead of immediately choosing food, everyone played "Rock Paper Scissors," and Luo Di also had to participate.

Moreover, the overall atmosphere became quite heavy, as if this simple match was of great importance.

After a round of intellectual debate,

Shia lost the game.

Without any hesitation, she jumped ashore and went to the cart, took a slice of pizza full of bacon and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing and swallowing.

After eating, it remained standing for five minutes.

The other sisters also came ashore, reaching out to touch and grope Shia, even inserting their arms into her body to examine her.

[Hazard Investigation]

This method effectively excludes "food" from the list of potential threats.

Previously, when entering the swimming pool, we had played a similar rock-paper-scissors game to determine the possibility of the water source being a "hazard".

After ruling out the possibility of food, everyone returned to the pool with their favorite items.

Luo Di also went into the water.

Holding a vegetable and meat roll and an iced drink, along with a Vacation Guidebook he'd taken from the living room, he went to a corner of the pool that was a bit far from his sisters.

His gaze swept over the four sisters in the pool.

He never imagined that he would end up on an island with four vicious, abnormally powerful Pseudo-Human, living a seemingly ordinary, even enviable, vacation life.

They are also doing work similar to that of an investigator.

However, Luo Di could tell that although everyone seemed relaxed, they were actually thinking about their own ideas, or observing everything around them.

He didn't cast too many rude glances at the girl, and picked up the "Vacation Guidebook" to read.

The first few pages are mostly guides about the resort area, but the next page contains something quite interesting.

Special vacation packages arranged by the travel agency (not mandatory, additional fees apply)

1. Nightfire Beach

It is held daily from 21:00 to 24:00 on the northern beach, limited to 100 people, and each person needs to pay 6,000 rubles.

2. Live-Action Children's Story Tour

It will be held on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekend afternoons from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm on Happy Street, limited to 50 children aged six and above, with a maximum of one parent accompanying each group, and each group needs to pay 9,000 rubles.

3. Horror Night Talk

Please arrive at the haunted house area at midnight every day to participate. Limited to 50 people, each person needs to pay 10,000 rubles.

4. Original Experience *

*This experience requires leaving the resort area and venturing into an undeveloped nature reserve. Deep in the forest lies an indigenous village where you can experience a day of village life and immerse yourself in the local culture and customs.

*The indigenous people are not completely isolated from the world; they simply maintain their original way of life and customs and have a cooperative relationship with the Mercury Group. Of course, since they live outside the resort area, we cannot completely guarantee the safety of our guests. There have been cases of guest injuries, but there have never been any fatalities. If you have any concerns about this, please do not apply for this program.

Depart from the hotel at 18:00 on Wednesday and Sunday and return to the hotel at 18:00 the following day.

Limited to 15 people, each person needs to pay 40,000 rubles.

Just as Luo Di thought it was necessary to talk about this, the Sister Eye floating on the water began to speak, reciting relevant content about the Original Experience like a system broadcast. Her eyes had clearly seen through what Luo Di was holding.

Thinking of perspective,

Luo Di couldn't help but glance at his swimming trunks, which he was only wearing.

Hua Yuan was overjoyed. "I was just thinking about what legitimate reason we could give to go to the so-called nature reserve if we were to maintain our ordinary identities. Now it's perfect! We can go directly there."

What day of the week is it today?

"On Monday."

"Then we'll have to wait two more days before we can leave. Anyway, we have nothing else to do, so why don't we just sign up for all the extra-cost items? Mr. Di, you can call and make a reservation."

"You even report this to children?"

Hua Yuan immediately stepped forward and stroked Sister Eye's hair. "Who are you looking down on? Sister Eye is just a child. Besides, it's more natural for us to sign up for all of us. If we only signed up to go to the indigenous villages, it would seem a bit deliberate, wouldn't it?"

"Um."

Luo Di, as a member, made a phone call and quickly ordered all the paid services. Money was no problem; this kind of spending was just a fraction of what he and his classmate earned at the Fighting Arena.

"It's already registered, but the children can't be registered. They'll check their ID cards."

There's a bonfire party tonight, plus Horror Night Talk... I'm skipping the late-night one; I need a good night's sleep.

"I don't..."

The Sister Eye floating on the water also raised her hand. Her eyes need rest, and she must get enough sleep every day to nourish her eyeballs.

Hua Yuan made an OK sign, "Alright~ then you two can come back to sleep, and the three of us will go see just how terrifying the human project really is."

Mr. Di, please don't even think about Sister Eye! We might catch you red-handed if we come back early.

Luo Di did not respond to Hua Yuan. After finishing his meal, he also started exercising in the pool.
