Chapter [79]: In the shadows(1/2)
But as the saying goes, a person is inherently good. No one wants to see the living life disappear in front of him, and no one is watching jokes by himself when others need help.
The leader asked me: "If this person really attacked our tribe, even if he sacrificed his life, I would stop him from doing this crazy behavior."
How could the leader think of the topic of death?
On this isolated island, people like the leader can already be regarded as the emperor of this place.
He is in charge of everything here, and it may be because of possession that he is afraid of losing.
But what is surprising is that he will choose to exchange his life for peace in this area.
So gains and losses may not be that important to them.
I looked at the leader beside me and felt that I had nothing to say.
I can only comfort this leader, which can be regarded as a cheering for the other party.
I said to the leader: "From the current situation, the mastermind behind this is not targeting the people on your island, but those coming from behind us."
"No matter who he targets, as long as you come to our tribe, you are targeting me."
The leader's words were very touching.
I said, "In fact, it may be that we harmed you. If we didn't come to your island, so many things wouldn't have happened."
"Don't say these things anymore. There is no one here who harms whom, because the demons cannot reason with you."
The leader looked very open-minded.
He smiled and said to the person next to him: "If one day I really die at the hands of this demon, I hope you can handle the matters in my tribe properly."
I was shocked.
I think this leader took the wrong medicine, why do he say such unlucky words, or did this leader know something?
When a person knows that something is unmatched, he may make an extreme choice.
But is this really the case?
I asked the leader: "Do you know something you shouldn't know?"
The leader shook his head: "Don't think too much, I'm just sighing."
Seeing the leader pretending to be relaxed, my heart was even heavier.
He lowered his voice and said, "If you treat me as a friend, then tell me what you know. Some things should be shared with friends."
My eyes are very sincere.
I need the leader next to me to tell him the truth because I know that the leader is hiding something.
I don't want the other party to hide these things.
Because once you hide some things, they will become regular ***, and before you know it, you will suddenly blow it to pieces.
I have a keen feeling that I know this leader is hiding himself.
The two climbed up the cliff and walked towards the valley.
The leader walked in front: "Do you know? My dream since childhood was to develop this island into a tourist island, just like Bali."
Anyone in Bali knows that it is a vacation paradise in South Asia.
But this small island is a remote place, and it will definitely be very difficult to develop it.
I asked, "What?"
"Later, a group of guests came to the island. When these guests came to the island, I saw hope because someone among the guests was willing to invest in my island."
The light emitted from the leader's eyes.
It was as if I saw a dream and bloomed in front of me, I was shocked.
Those who are willing to pay for the development of the island must be a very famous chaebol.
I said, "Since this is the case, why is this island not yet developed?"
"It's a pity that the negotiations broke down because another tribe disagreed."
The leader sighed, obviously he felt very sorry for this matter.
I said, "Maybe another tribe doesn't want others to destroy the ecological balance on this island."
"If they really were for this reason, I had nothing to say, but their reasons were unacceptable."
The leader said indignantly.
When I heard this, I felt a little confused. Is there so many disputes between these two tribes because someone wants to develop this island because of unbalanced interests?
I asked the leader: "Is the tribe you are talking about the one that lives on the top of the cliff?"
The leader said: "No, that's another tribe, and the tribe I mentioned has all disappeared."
On the way to the valley, the leader told me about a past.
Actually before.
There are three tribes on this island.
One tribe lives on the top of a mountain, one tribe lives on the hillside, and another tribe lives on the beach.
The tribe that lives on the beach is developing very fast.
Because that tribe is close to the seaside.
And before that, this tribe who lived on the beach had more than a dozen boats.
Anyone on this island who wants to contact the outside world must use the tribe on the beach. From another perspective, the tribe on the beach has mastered the sea control on this island.
It is equivalent to controlling this lifeline on the island.
For reasons, this tribe on the beach has the right time and place, and its development should be smooth, but all the changes are because of a group of guests on this island.
That group of guests is overseas investors.
When those guests came to this island, their purpose was very simple, which was to develop this island.
Everyone will be happy if investors arrive.
The tribe on the beach even held a very grand party, which brought all the residents of the entire island together, and then ate and drank in their tribe for three days and three nights.
At that time, everyone on this island thought they had seen hope.
Because as long as someone comes to invest, the island's economy will develop quickly and everyone will get the benefits they deserve.
However, in the process of negotiating with these investors, the negotiations caused a breakdown due to disagreement.
The tribe on the beach hopes to control all the resources on the island, through reasonable allocation, and then let everyone develop together.
But the other two tribes were very opposed.
The other two tribes believe that since everyone is a member of the island, the resources on the island should be controlled by everyone.
If these resources are left in the hands of a tribe, it will definitely cause an unfair situation, so everyone disagrees with the opinions of the beach tribe.
Because the negotiations broke down, the plan to develop the island was stranded.
After this stranded plan, those who came to invest also withdrew from the island.
It was not long before these guests evacuated.
The tribe on the beach has gradually decreased.
Some went to sea but did not come back, and some disappeared mysteriously on the island. In two or three years, the tribe with dozens of people disappeared in front of people like air.
I asked, "Where did they go? Do you not like life on this island, so you moved elsewhere?"
The leader raised his head and stared at the beach blankly.
He said to me, "It turns out that the place where they live is on the beach you first came to. You can imagine that a village with dozens of people had turned into a desolate beach overnight. That kind of scene is still unforgettable."
If this leader said it well, then how terrifying the scene at that time was.
I asked tentatively: "Is it because of the tsunami that they suddenly disappeared?"
A major earthquake occurred in Southeast Asia that year, and then triggered a century-old tsunami.
At that time, the tsunami claimed more than 200,000 lives. The island was right in the middle of the ocean, so of course there was no way to escape the tsunami.
But the leader shook his head: "The tsunami back then had no effect on us, and their disappearance had nothing to do with the tsunami."
From the leader's expression, he could see that his answer was quite firm.
If these things were not caused by natural disasters, what would be the reason?
In such remote places, many strange things always happen, and sometimes science cannot explain them clearly.
Just like the Bermuda Triangle in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, planes flying there will basically disappear because of the magnetic field under the sea.
Will there be a magnetic field under this island that affects people's thinking ability, and then let the people in the tribe on the beach walk into the abyss of destruction one by one?
But the words of the leader next to him caught his attention: "In my opinion, their disappearance should be related to those guests."
"Why?"
