The center of Dead Water Island is known as "Central Town". Hongluo Academy, which mainly cultivates qi practitioners, is not close to the central town, about fifteen kilometers away. Because of this, Hongluo Academy is a boarding school, but the Bone Night Festival is an exception, and most boarding students will return home on this night.

Therefore, the Red Fall Academy was empty on the night of the Bone Night Festival.

However, this evening...... In Hongluo Academy, there are people.

A slightly old door, gently pushed open. What was revealed was an image of a young man wearing a pair of glasses, and behind the young man was another girl with curly hair.

"Really...... Want to be on this night? ”

"Of course." The young man with glasses said with a grim look: "Red Fall Academy...... Perhaps it is the most important place on this island. It is only at this time today that there will be no one in Hongluo Academy. There couldn't be a better chance. ”

"But? Tonight is the Night of the Bone Night, so it's dangerous to stay outside, right? ”

"Staying outside is also a very ambiguous concept, and after all, we are also indoors now. And even if something happens, I can protect you, after all, I am also one of the best Qi cultivators in this class. ”

"But...... Qi practitioners, it's not ......"

"And don't forget, we're still with ...... The Statue of the Moon Shadow that has opened the light! Isn't it? ”

Hearing this, the curly-haired girl showed a reassuring expression.

The Statue of the Moon Shadow that has been lit up is naturally completely different from the ordinary Statue of the Moon Shadow. Such Lunaris statues are extremely precious, and there are not many on the entire island. And this young man with glasses can actually hold one. It's incredible!

"Alright. Let's go, Sayuki. Hongluo Academy must be hiding secret information related to the Forbidden Mountain. I've got to find that information......"

On Deadwater Island, different households are still waiting for the arrival of the "dealer".

"Whoosh"!

A dart hits the bull's-eye fast!

I said...... Can you listen to me? ”

In one room, there were a man and a woman, both of whom looked young, both of them under twenty years old.

Throwing darts. It was a tall man, and next to him was a woman with short hair. The short-haired woman showed an uneasy look and said, "I don't know, how is the situation with Lingxi......

"It's okay......" the man who threw the dart shrugged, "The ghost card game has been a tradition of the Bone Night Festival for many years, and nothing has ever happened." ”

"But ......," the short-haired woman grabbed the hem of her skirt uneasily, "This year's Bone Night Festival is very late, and it is even so close to the 'Moon Shadow Festival'...... I'm a little uneasy. ”

The Festival of Bones is not a festival on a specific date, and it is only when Moon Shadow's left eye weeps that the Festival of Bones arrives, which is already a fact recognized by everyone on the island. The Bone Night Festival is generally in the first half of the year, and the highest frequency is in February and March. But. This year's Bone Night Festival actually took place in October, near the end of the year, which is rare for nearly a dozen years. Temporal ...... It's too close to the Moon Shadow Festival.

"Although...... You are Han Lingxi's fiancée. But it seems to be overly concerned. ”

"Don't say that...... I ......" At this, she paused and said, "Speaking of which...... There is a way to say it. This time, the Bone Night Festival came so late, because Huang Shanyun violated the ban and entered the Forbidden Mountain, so that the Bone Night Festival came so late......"

"Is the Bone Night Festival early or late...... Is it important? ”

"Many people use the Bone Night Festival to predict the good luck and bad luck of the year, but the time is so late, it makes people feel ......"

The man put the dart down and looked at the short-haired woman beside him.

"Spring snow? Are you affected by Sayuki? ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

"I think there is."

"Anyway, I don't want Lingxi to draw the ghost card, he will soon usher in the Moon Shadow Festival when he graduates, if he draws the ghost card at this time, I am worried...... What will happen when the time comes. ”

For the islanders of Dead Water Island, everything related to Moon Shadow is extremely believable. Drawing a ghost card means bad luck is a long-standing saying on Dead Water Island. And when the Moon Shadow Festival is coming......

"And, not only that, after the Moon Shadow Festival, it's my wedding date with Lingxi......"

"That's what you're most concerned about, isn't it?"

"That's right......

"But it's useless for you to be cranky here, right? After all, ghost cards are drawn at random. No matter how worried you are......"

"No...... There is a way. Chunxue came to her senses at this time: "Actually, Saxue told me a way...... If, when we draw a card, as long as we don't draw a ghost card, then ...... We're going to make a mark on the card we draw! In this way, when others draw cards in the future, people who can understand this mark can draw this card! ”

The man who threw the dart was completely stunned.

"You...... Are you kidding me? Spring snow? ”

"Am I kidding?"

Immediately, the man realized...... What Chunxue said is true!

"You ......" he rushed to Chunxue and said, "Don't really play like that!" That's cheating! If it is discovered......"

"Huh? Is there any rule in the game of Ghost Cards that says that it is strictly forbidden to make marks on playing cards? Didn't you? ”

The man was stunned, then thought about it carefully, and indeed ...... Didn't say that!

"Even so, it's ......"

"All the rules related to the ghost card game are the answers made by the Qi Practitioner by communicating with the Moon Shadow God. Therefore, there is no explicit prohibition, that is, it is agreed. Originally...... Don't you think that putting back a card that has already been drawn is in itself an encouragement to make a mark? As long as you prepare a dozen new decks of playing cards, there is no problem of making marks. So ......"

However, when he said this, there was a glimmer of light on the man's face.

"I'm sure...... This is definitely not what Sayuki said! ”

"Huh? That's exactly what Sayuki told me, huh? ”

"Sayuki wasn't smart enough to that extent. It won't be wrong, the one who told Sha Xue these things must be Su Qingcicada! It's definitely him! ”

"Su ...... Su Qingcicada? ”

"yes, you can't see it, right? It's obvious that she's in love with Su Qingcia, right? ”

On Dead Water Island, where the small population and large demand for labor naturally led to incentives for childbearing, young love was never condemned on this island, and men could marry as long as they were at least sixteen years old, and women could marry at least fourteen years old. Therefore, most people will get married and have children when they are students, and if they are unmarried over the age of twenty, they can be regarded as leftover men and women.

"I estimate that after the Moon Shadow Festival, Su Qingcian and Saxue will go to the Island Office to register their marriage."

"So...... This idea was come up with by Su Qingciao? ”

"Yes, I'm afraid...... She said that she was talking about spending the night of the Bone Night Festival at a friend's house, but I'm afraid she was staying at Su Qingciao's house. ”

"What?"

Chunxue was immediately shocked: "Big brother...... You...... Are you really talking about it? ”

"So what to make all the fuss about? Sayuki is not a child anymore, she can do whatever she wants. ”

"You're also a big brother!"

"It's okay. Even if something really happens, it's just a matter of making up the formalities afterwards. ”

"Yao Shichen!"

"Alright, alright...... Don't talk about that, the thing you just mentioned about making marks ......"

The room began to fall silent again.

"About this...... Sayuki mentioned it to me. As long as he made a mark in advance, he would be able to see the spirit seal. However, I didn't tell Lingxi directly, but hinted at him, so that as soon as he saw the mark, he would know what was going on. ”

"The premise is that you draw cards before Han Lingxi, right?"

In the ghost card game, there is no rule to who will draw and who will draw, and there is never any correlation with the distance between the house and the island office.

"Well...... If that's the case, it can't be helped. But there's always a possibility. Moreover, if Saxue draws cards first, she can also make a mark. She should have been separated from us for this reason. ”

And that's when ......

Outside, there was a knock on the door! (To be continued......)
