Transtor: der Transtions

  --------

  It was certain they would have to go down. Whether the newers were enemies or allies, the spaside the building was enough for them to manoeuvre for a while. However, being trapped ihe lighthouse was another matter altogether, sihere was only ooaircase leading up here.

  If they trolled the staircase, they would be trapped like caged animals, waiting fhter.

  Ran's reckless gaze sed the group, a barely noticeable smile f on his lips.

  "We'll stay," Su Xiaoxiao said directly.

  When she said "we," she was referring to herself and her brother, Su An. She was well aware that, given her brother's current physical dition, he couldn’t handle any more strain. Besides, no one knew what would happen ohey went down.

  After Su Xiaoxiao agreed to stay, Liang Long's eyes brightened slightly.

  Acc to the people from Bckstoown, the reason things had turned out like this was because of a curse, and the way to break the curse was to ehe fme in the lighthouse kept burning.

  Uaiher the people from Bckstoown were lying, everyoill chose to temporarily believe them, so someone o stay behind to guard the fme.

  This was crucial.

  After helping Su Xiaoxiao move Su An to the er, Ran was the first to leave the room, followed by Jiang g and the Fatty. Liang Long was the st oo get up.

  She g the old woman in the basket before running off with some difficulty.

  Though the old woman hadn’t done anything to her while they were alone, she felt terrified for no reason. She clearly hadn’t seen anything or heard anything, but the fear was irrational.

  She swallowed instinctively as she walked dowaircase, her thoughts rag, and her pace quied.

  When they reached the spacious first floor, the group holding torches had also arrived, and the two groups exged ghrough the window.

  The leader of the roup was still the blonde man.

  However, this time, the group from Bckstoown had grown signifitly, with at least a few dozen people.

  Uhe light of the torches, they gathered together, with spears and simir ons tucked into their shoulders and the skin pouches on their backs, their ons gleaming with cold light.

  Liang Long had an ominous premonition.

  The blonde man’s gaze lingered over the group for a while before he sighed and said, "It seems you’ve entered some problems and lost some men."

  "Yes," Ran nodded.

  The Fatty didn’t dare get too close to the window. He could only peek through the gaps at the city lights on the sea, which, though brilliant, were shrouded in a thin mist, giving an unreal impression.

  He opened his mouth and timidly asked, "What’s with that bck fog? Why is the night here so full of bck mist?"

  Before he could finish, the blonde man turned his gaze towards him and said, "This isn’t the pce to talk. Please e with us to Bckstoown."

  "We haven’t had tact with outsiders for a long time," the blonde man smiled wryly. "The people iown will be very happy to see you."

  Ran narrowed his eyes, watg the blonde man. After a long pause, he nodded, "Fine."

  The Fatty was stunned.

  How could they agree to such a request?!

  They hadn’t even figured out the truth about the people in Bckstoowhey were going along with it. Wasn’t this a trap?

  Liang Long, who shared simir thoughts, now seemed more cautious thaty. Perhaps she still suspected that Ran was testing her, just like he had before.

  Both of them put their final hope in Jiang g, but what they didn’t expect was...

  "Then we’ll trouble you," Jiang g the blonde man.

  As they walked toward Bckstoown, the Fatty’s mind was still buzzing. He couldn’t uand why the doctor would agree to such a request.

  Had he discovered something?

  Liang Long hadn’t followed. She firmly refused, saying she would wait for their return, calling it "looking for clues."

  The Fatty thought the same but couldn’t stop w about the doctor. He relutly agreed.

  Walking toward Bckstoown, the Fatty gained a deeper uanding of the strangeness of this world. The waves by their sides spshed, yet the road beh their feet ure bck.

  The road was about 3 or 4 meters wide and twisted toward the sea city.

  What they had seen through the lighthouse window wasn’t people from Bckstoown walking on the sea but on this eerie road.

  Walking on it, the Fatty had the strange feeling that he might sink at any moment, though nothing happened. He kept his head down, walking and , notig that this bck road seemed to have a e to the overwhelming bck mist.

  "Doctor," the Fatty whispered, sneaking up beside him when no one aying attention. "What are you thinking? How could you agree to e here with them?"

  "Something..." He looked around, his throat tightening. "Something feels wrong. I suspect Ran and the people from Bckstoown have set up a trap for us."

  Jiang g squinted, seemingly surveying his surroundings without paying attention to the Fatty, but his voice still reached him. "Don’t you think it’s strange?" Jiang g asked. "A whole isnd, ahere’s no food or water?"

  The Fatty had thought about this before but couldn’t make sense of it.

  Normally, with the sea and forests, they should never have reached the point of starving or dying of thirst.

  But this world... somehow made it happen.

  The Fatty’s pupils tracted. "Doctor, you mean ing here is part of the task’s basic setup, a necessary step?"

  He paused, then tinued, "Limiting our food and water supply was to force us to e to Bckstoown. There’s an important clue here!"

  Jiang g nodded, his tourning serious. "We’ve held out for more than a day. How much longer we st, I’m not sure. But rather than die holding on, it’s better to go while we still have the strength."

  "Also..." Jiang g lowered his voice, gng around to make sure no one aying attention before tinuing, "Do you think they’ll let us go easily if we don’t e today?"

  The Fatty’s eyes widened.

  "Look at their numbers, and the ons they carry," Jiang g said. "Do they seem like they’re here to invite us as guests?"

  Everyone in their group was big and muscur, most dressed iher clothes, and the quality wasn’t what they had seen before. Their muscles, exposed uhe leather, were rugged and strong, and their t figures were intimidating.

  The Fatty nervously swallowed.

  These people didn’t seem like peaceful hosts; they looked like raiders from the mountains, and the battle strength was off the charts.

  "We’ve arrived," the blonde man suddenly stopped. The city in front of them was bathed in fmes.
