Chapter 676: Chapter 676: Find a Way to Escape

The mysterious island had sunk into the sea, but not a single drop of water had made it into the island’s experimental base within. Gu Fan and Su Hui had been cooped up in a tiny cabinet for too long and felt the need to move around and stretch their limbs and necks.

"My God, who knows how long we’ll have to stay here." Gu Fan was slightly worried. If the fog failed to appear for several days and the island remained submerged, even if Gu Fan and Su Hui managed to escape the island, their companions would probably be nowhere to be found.

Su Hui calmly reassured him, "You have to believe in everyone. They won’t give up that easily."

Gu Fan replied with a bitter smile, "It’s not that I don’t trust everyone, but they haven’t seen us for several days. They might give up hope, or start to falter, just as I would."

What Su Hui said made sense. Who would have thought they would find a place of refuge inside a sinking island?

"What about Lin Xi? You waited for her for such a long time on Yuxueyun Mountain. You are the one among us who believes in her survival the most. Lin Xi loves you very much. She must believe that you’re alive." Su Hui tried to inspire more hope in Gu Fan, however, he wasn’t as optimistic. "Even if Lin Xi loves me very much, she can’t wait for me forever. After not seeing me for such a long time, her hope will gradually erode. Even if she still loves me, she would have to accept reality."

Gu Fan sank into thought. "What would Lin Xi do? She definitely wants to avenge me, but she more clearly understands my wishes. She would protect everyone and leave, especially Gu Ling. So, once Lin Xi accepts reality, she would probably take everyone and leave."

Su Hui agreed with Gu Fan’s prediction. Suddenly feeling a wave of exhaustion, Gu Fan added another point, "Now our only hope is the big boss and Qian Feng. Considering the big boss’ character and deep hatred for immortality, he will continue to track the island. Similarly, Qian Feng might also be active. In other words, these two individuals are likely the keys for us to escape the predicament."

Upon hearing this, an expression of helplessness appeared on Su Hui’s face. "Who would have thought that our enemies would become our only hope for leaving this place?"

"Yeah. Lin Xi now shoulders a great responsibility. Her decision greatly affects everyone’s safety. If it were me, I would also find it difficult to make a decision. To gamble everyone’s lives on the hope of my survival is a big risk." Suddenly a critical point hit Su Hui, "Gu Fan, do you think Lin Xi would let everyone go first? She would let them take care of Gu Ling and then she would join the big boss’s side to continue searching for the island."

Gu Fan frowned, "Both possibilities exist. If we could find something here that would enable us to send a signal to the outside world, letting them know we are alive..."

"Right, let’s look around. My wounds feel a lot better now. Even if we run into Lisa, I should be able to handle it." Having said this, Su Hui took the lead.

Gu Fan followed closely by her side. They marched forward, side by side. Even though this unfamiliar place was fraught with danger, they were determined to face it with courage.

"Sister Su, do you believe it? My intuition tells me that this is certainly not the end of my destiny." Gu Fan said with a certain confidence. Su Hui agreed, "Is it because of the last event? You were about to touch the crystal and become an existence like Lisa, but you escaped fate. I still find it hard to believe that you are so lucky."

"Because the Destiny Stone isn’t just a name." With this, Gu Fan frowned, "If fate really does have such an arrangement, then where does it want me to go? If I could find a way to control the Destiny Stone here, then I could freely control my own destiny, but this obviously contradicts the current situation."

Caught in a web of perplexity, Su Hui continued "About this point, you have mentioned it before. You have also guessed that the Destiny Stone didn’t arrange for you to come here to find the method of control, but to look for something else, right?"

Gu Fan started to recall, "I moved into the old house, then I met Lin Xi in college. Sister Su, you know, I couldn’t believe that I was able to pursue Lin Xi at that time. After that, due to a trip with Lin Xi, we visited an ancient town. After we came back, our classmates started disappearing one by one. In order to solve the mystery, we traveled far and discovered Lin Xi was the reincarnation of the Queen Qianye. We also learned about the immortal and eternal life clan, and then..."

"Allow me to continue." Su Hui seemed to have become invigorated, "Then according to the map left by the Eternal Life Clan, we arrived at Yuxueyun Mountain, discovered the floating island and the ancient super civilization, and accidentally awakened Qian Feng. She revealed the secret of your old house, and then we arrived at this island related to the ancient super civilization. Each step along the way seemed carefully planned."

"Exactly! Each step connected to the last. Every time we found the truth, we discovered new clues and secrets hidden behind it. I have a premonition that someone behind the scenes is pulling all the strings." The more Gu Fan spoke, the more Su Hui’s heart raced. If someone like that really existed, how powerful would he be? Even the big boss and Qian Feng could not escape his control.

Suddenly, the corner of Gu Fan’s mouth lifted into a meaningful smile, "What do you think, Sister Su! Shall we make a bet? If this time we don’t find the method to control the Destiny Stone and stop everything, we will find new clues and then initiate new events. Which do you think is more likely?"

Su Hui forced an optimistic smile. "I lean towards the former, but I think the latter is more likely to happen."

"I think it’s the latter too!" Gu Fan sighed, "Both of us think it’s the latter, so there’s no point in betting."

"Bet what? When I think about possibly leaving the island, then having to continue risking my life with you, my heart aches." Su Hui finished speaking, feeling annoyed, and she punched Gu Fan, venting her anger, "If I had known this, I wouldn’t have moved in just because the rent was cheap. You really get what you pay for. I regret meeting you so much."

"It’s too late for regrets. I’d advise you to just accept fate’s arrangements." Gu Fan replied meaningfully, causing Su Hui to frown in displeasure. Su Hui instantly aim a kick at Gu Fan, but he darted away.

"You little brat, stop running! Stand there and let me hit you!" Su Hui chased after him, and Gu Fan kept running with laughter. Perhaps, in such a situation, this was their way of entertaining themselves and relieving the stress they were under.

Suddenly, a loud noise grabbed Gu Fan and Su Hui’s attention. It sounded as if something had hit the wall. Then they heard the sound of fighting, and it seemed the source was not far away.
