Lin Zheng and his party first found a hotel to stay in the city, and then visited for two days before heading to the small island presented by the Zhou family.
The island is about more than four hours' drive from the city center, but there is a helicopter transfer there, which makes it much faster.
"Brother, this helicopter belongs to us, and the servants on the island are all trustworthy people. You can use it with confidence."
Zhou Zihao said.
Lin Zheng nodded and looked outside, and soon saw the blue sea, silver beach, and clusters of green dotted in the blue waves.
That lush land is Lin Zheng's private territory, and was previously named Happy Island by Zhou Yuntian.
In addition to the local plants on the island, there are more trees and flowers transplanted from the Dragon Kingdom. It feels like being in the Dragon Kingdom here.
The servants on the island all have oriental faces and are poor people from Southeast Asia.
Mr. Zhou has a factory there and has saved many such poor people.
Zhou Zihao specially arranged for the helicopter to circle around the island and let Lin Zheng lead the way to experience the Mediterranean style.
The island has pleasant scenery, lush vegetation, and complete facilities.
Silver beaches, yacht piers, seawater desalination equipment, and a circular runway surrounding the island. Streetlight trees extend along the runway, and colorful flowers cluster in the green belt, making the island colorful.
"Brother, how is this island?"
Zhou Zihao asked.
Lin Zheng nodded with great satisfaction and said: "It's very beautiful. It's just that the construction above has been done with such care. It's obvious that the old man spent a lot of effort to renovate it. Now it's given to me. Isn't it a bit overwhelming?"
"This island indeed took a lot of effort from my grandfather, but it is precisely because of this that we can express our feelings by giving it to my eldest brother.
Just accept it with peace of mind. I have several other small islands like this, and they are all very beautiful.
There is one near Bali, and it’s quite beautiful. I’ll take you there to have a look when I have time.”
Zhou Zihao said.
"Okay, I really want to go over and have a look."
Lin Zheng happily agreed.
"Then we've settled."
Zhou Zihao smiled.
The helicopter circled around and landed on the helipad of the island. A servant was already waiting in a battery car.
Several people got on the battery car, the servant put it down and saluted, then drove towards the villa in the center of the island.
The villa here is very large, similar to the castle manor in Europe. Along the way, I even saw a grape vine, which Zhou Zihao said was used to make his own wine.
Now the wine cellar has a lot of wines in its collection, most of which are brewed by ourselves and have a unique taste.
"Hey, I heard that this island is yours now?"
Zhao Qiqi asked while looking at the scenery of the villa.
Lin Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, now I am the owner of the island.
how?
Are you envious?"
"There's nothing to be envious of. What's yours is mine anyway."
Zhao Qiqi said casually.
"You are so thick-skinned! When did we get so close?"
Lin Zheng said angrily.
"Master said that I have to stay with you from now on, so I will definitely live wherever you live. I will eat whatever you eat. Isn't what's yours mine?"
Zhao Qiqi chuckled.
"In your last life, you were a dog-skin plaster type, right?"
Lin Zheng rolled his eyes, then walked to the living room and sat down. A servant brought hundreds of thousands of pounds of good tea.
After resting and drinking some fragrant tea, Lin Zheng suggested going out for a walk. It was still a little early to finish the meal.
Zhou Zihao had been here several times before and acted as a tour guide.
"Brother, should we drive a battery car or walk?"
Zhou Zihao asked.
"Let's go.
Haozi, is there anything special about this island?"
Lin Zheng asked casually.
In fact, he really just asked casually, but he didn't expect such a place to exist here.
"The previous owner of this island was a priest who built a small church on the seaside. The church was quite strange. Every night when people were quiet, I would always hear a whimpering sound under the church.
It seemed like a lot of people were crying together, but we checked several times and couldn't find any reason."
"At first, grandpa was also worried that this church might be something bad that had been sealed underground, so he thought about selling it. However, the scenery here was so good that grandpa hesitated several times and refused to part with it. In the end, he just kept letting a few of them go.
Years ago, during this period, there were always whimpering sounds under the church, but nothing unexpected happened, and I gradually stopped caring."
"Is there still such a thing?
Were all the buildings under the church inspected?
Didn’t you find a secret passage or something like that?”
Lin Zheng asked with great interest.
Zhou Zihao said as he walked: "We organized people to investigate several times and used equipment, but we found nothing.
Finally, a local geologist came over to take a look and said that it might be caused by the special underground geological structure. The church is located on the seaside, and a cave space similar to a trumpet may be formed below, so it resonates with the ups and downs of the sea water.
Make noise."
"But this sound is very low and cannot be heard at ordinary times. It can only be heard clearly in the dead of night.
Of course, this is just the geologist's speculation, because there is no cave space that can produce sound that he mentioned in the nearby sea.
And this voice has become a mystery.
Fortunately, the church is built on the seaside and there is no harm, so the impact will not be big."
"That's quite interesting.
Come on, let’s go over and take a look.”
Although Lin Zheng had come into contact with things like souls, he was not interested in the theory of ghosts.
But he was very interested in these mysterious and mysterious things.
Zhou Zihao led the team, accompanied by Lin Zheng and others, admiring the scenery as they walked, and soon arrived at the church located on the seaside.
From the outside, the church is indeed a bit dilapidated, with the glass on the windows broken. The imported wooden door may have been half rotten due to the seaside, leaving half a black hole exposed.
The walls are covered with green moss and ivy, giving the entire church a somewhat desolate atmosphere.
Lin Zheng walked closer and pushed open the broken door. A damp and moldy smell hit his face.
There was a thick layer of dust inside, and when you walked up it was like stepping on the snow, leaving a line of footprints.
The corners are covered with spider webs, and the roof is open to the sky, letting in a little sunlight.
"Haozi, is this church old?"
Lin Zheng looked at the furnishings inside and asked.
"My grandfather said that the priest came to this island when he was in his twenties and built this church. It took about sixty years."
Zhou Zihao said.
Lin Zheng nodded and continued walking forward. At this moment, he heard the whimpering sound coming from the ground that Zhou Zihao said. If you don't listen carefully, it really sounded like the sound of many people crying together.
"I thought I heard that whimpering sound."
At this time, Zhao Qiqi took the lead and said.
Then Long Wuxia also heard it, but brother and sister Zhou Zihao and Zhou Zifan shook their heads in confusion.
Lin Zheng walked in the direction from which the sound came, and soon came to the back of the church. It was a small room similar to a warehouse, with an area of only more than thirty square meters, and the sound came from the underground of this room.
"right here."
Zhao Qiqi looked at Lin Zhengdao.
"Brother, do you think that voice came from down here?"
Zhou Zihao said in surprise.
Lin Zheng nodded and searched the room carefully.
Zhao Qiqi and Long Wuxia started searching without Lin Zheng's orders.
Zhou Zihao said hesitantly: "What are you looking for?"
"Mechanism! This sound is definitely not caused for no reason. If my guess is correct, there should be a secret passage down here."
Lin Zheng explained.
"Secret passages?
It’s impossible, the old priest didn’t say anything about the secret passage before.”
Zhou Zihao said.
"If there is one, you will know if you look for it."
Lin Zheng said while searching carefully. Although he didn't say enough, he was very confident in his judgment.
