Chapter 50 Variation
Lying on the bed, Song Chao remembered what he saw just now, and couldn't help but feel chills running down his back.

Why did Songshan become like this?

But no one could give her an answer.

The long night passed like this.

The next morning, everything was business as usual.

Song Shan got up early to make breakfast for Song Chao as usual. The father and daughter ate breakfast and looked at each other in silence, as if nothing had happened.

Song Chao's eyes fell on the water glass on the table. He didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly picked up the water glass and said, "Dad, do you still want to drink water?"

Song Shan's expression froze for a moment, then he shook his head.

"Chao Chao, I'm not thirsty anymore."

Song Chao looked at Song Shan and nodded, but said nothing.

The father and daughter headed towards the harbor after breakfast.

The atmosphere at the harbor remains tense today.

Song Shan found Lao Wang again like yesterday, and learned the news that five people died last night.

Liao Shun obviously also realized that the island was not peaceful recently, so he whispered something to the man next to him while inspecting the harbor.

After a while, the man ordered the residents of the island to gather at the port.

Just like the scene when the Song Dynasty first came, everyone stood in a big group, whispering something to each other, obviously discussing the reason why men gathered them together.

At the front of the crowd, Liao Shun was standing on a one-meter-high cube wooden platform.

"Calm down, everyone. Master Liao Shun has something to say to everyone." Following the man's words, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

Liao Shun looked around at everyone, and finally spoke softly——

"Recently - I know that many people have died on the island, and the cause of death is unknown. Everyone is very worried, so I would like to inform everyone that in the next week, except for those on duty, everyone else can rest at home and go fishing in the sea. Yes, this week’s harvest belongs to you, and you don’t need to hand it over to our Fisheries Supervision Department.”

It turns out that every fisherman has to hand over most of his harvest to the fishery supervisor. It seems that the wooden house is the masterpiece of the fishery supervisor, Song Chao thought to himself.

The people below began to cheer, "My lord is wise—"

Then the crowd began to disperse.

What was a bit strange was that in the dispersed crowd, a large number of men picked up the kettles and started drinking water, and their postures were uniform and impatient.

This also includes Songshan.

Song Chao couldn't help but think of the scene last night. He raised his head and met Song Mu's eyes not far away. Song Mu pointed at a man drinking water next to him.

Song Chao nodded and understood what he meant.

The two walked towards the corner at the same time.

"Sister, Song Ping kept drinking water last night, and he keeps drinking water today. It feels a little abnormal." Song Ping is Song Mu's cheap father in this world.

"So is Song Shan."

Drink water...Song Chao's mind quickly filtered through the similarities between Song Shan and Song Ping.

Apart from being both fishermen, the two have one more important special point, that strange mark——

What exactly is that?
In the afternoon, the industrious Song Shan did not choose to rest at home, but continued to go fishing.

Before leaving, he also carried a large kettle filled with water.

Song Chao originally wanted to follow him, but when he went out, he met the three brothers he had met at the beach before. The three of them were hiding in the corner and whispering.

"Brother, I heard that your 'brother' is dead?" the second among the three asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

"How did you die?" The second and third child seemed very puzzled.

"I don't know how he died, but -" the boss paused as he spoke, as if he was trying to organize his words, and then continued, "He died after finishing his shift. A strange mark also appeared, but after his death, the mark disappeared inexplicably——"

"Disappeared?" The remaining two looked very surprised.

Song Chao, who was hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, was also very surprised.

"Yes!" The boss didn't stop after he finished speaking, "And I found that only players can see the marks on their arms, and the local residents living in this world can't see the existence of the marks at all."

Song Chao suddenly understood why Song Shan always turned a blind eye to the strange mark on his arm. It turned out that he couldn't see it at all.

After discussing the mission, the three brothers walked towards a house together.

Song Chao originally planned to leave and go to the beach to continue following Song Shan, but a figure caught her attention——

Liao Shun walked out of that family's house, the three brothers whispered something to him, then Liao Shun welcomed the three brothers in.

Did they know Liao Shun?
The Song Dynasty couldn't help but become curious about the identities of the three brothers.

At the same time, there was a sense of tension in my heart. Other players already knew so many clues, but I only understood some basic information.

With this sense of tension, Song Chao left here, went to the beach, and found that there were many people "swimming" in the sea.

Is it time to go swimming and relax in the sea during the holiday?Song Dynasty felt a little baffled.

Among the people swimming in the sea, there was Song Shan.

At this time, Song Shan's entire body was immersed in the sea, with only his head slightly exposed. He had a contented expression on his face, as if the sea was his home.

Is the sea his home?Song Chao was slightly shocked by the strange idea that came into his mind, and felt that he was really good at imagining.

Song Shan, who was immersed in the sea, didn't know what he was thinking. The next moment, he plunged into the sea, which shocked Song Chao, who had been paying attention to him.

But then Song Shan emerged from the water again, and Song Chao breathed a sigh of relief.

But Song Shan seemed to be playing a game, and plunged headlong into the sea again. Then a few strings of bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea, but they disappeared quickly. After a while, Song Shan did not appear again.

Now Song Chao couldn't sit still, she quickly held the water drop in her mouth, jumped into the sea, and swam in the direction of Song Mountain.

There were actually many people on the sea floor where there were usually only fish. All of these people were swimming freely in the water like fish, which looked very pleasant.

The Song Dynasty soon discovered Song Shan's figure.

Song Shan was also one of these people. He was swimming leisurely on the bottom of the sea, looking very happy, and Song Chao couldn't help thinking about it before -- he looked as if the sea was his home.

Song Chao was obviously in a different state from the people at the bottom of the sea, so Song Shan spotted her at a glance.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly swam towards Song Chao.

Then she said, "Chaochao, why are you here?" She looked closer at Song Shan. Song Chao found that his cheeks were open and relaxed, like the gills of a fish, which made the strange feeling in her heart even heavier.

She subconsciously said, "Dad, let's go home."

But the smile on Song Shan's face gradually disappeared.

"Home? Isn't this my home?"
