The next morning, I was awakened from my sleep by a frantic knock on the door.

When I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt a splitting headache. It seemed that the drunkenness from last night had not completely faded away.

Then I kept rubbing my temples with my left hand, and subconsciously picked up the watch placed on the bedside table with my right hand.

The hands of the watch show that it is already 7:10 in the morning. According to yesterday's plan, I am already ten minutes late.

The person knocking on the door must be urging me to join the sea-going activity, right?

With this thought in mind, I struggled to get dressed and opened the door. I saw He Chuan put on a pure white short shirt and standing outside the door.

"Why are you still sleeping?"

"I drank too much yesterday and forgot to set the alarm clock." I rubbed my swollen eyes and turned to the bathroom. "It's already past seven o'clock. Why don't you go to catch the sea?"

"You know what you are asking. Manager Pang just said yesterday that we would act in a unified manner, but you won't come today. How can this be so embarrassing on people's faces? When we gathered at the Liuli Pavilion Information Office at seven o'clock, we found that only you and Tong Kai were not there, so Pang Zheng assigned me to find you."

"Tongkai? Where is Tongkai?"

"I don't know. I should be in the room like you. Manager Pang has already gone to find it himself." He Chuan knocked on the doorframe again and urged, "You can simply clean up and gather with me!"

Because of what happened last night, I have become extremely resistant to group activities on Liuli Island.

If He Chuan hadn't stood at the door and earnestly advised me to go out, I might have lay in bed dejectedly and continued to sleep all morning.

I dragged my tired body and stood in front of the mirror. It seemed that what I attended last night was not a party, but an exhausting multi-person exercise. My whole body felt sore and weak.

Looking at myself in the mirror with unkempt hair, I slowly exhaled, but a stench hit my face.

I hastily brushed my teeth and followed He Chuan to the main hall of Liuli Pavilion.

But Tong Kai and Pang Zheng still didn't appear here.

I caught a glimpse of Feng Yuetong in the crowd. She put on a red backless one-piece swimsuit to catch the sea today. This swimsuit fully exposed her voluptuous waist and slender legs.

But when Feng Yuetong saw me, it was as if he was seeing a maggot that disgusted him, and he only showed an expression of disgust.

I didn't care and turned my eyes to Yi Xiaoran.

But when I saw her pure white bikini, I quickly looked elsewhere.

Yi Xiaoran has such a hot figure and wears such revealing clothes. She is really not afraid of provoking people to sin. Do you think that we, a bunch of good-blooded men, are monks who do not eat the fireworks of the world, or do you really think of us as your own brothers?

Before Tong Kai and Pang Zheng returned to the team, I hurriedly ran into the cafeteria, found a few pieces of French bread and stuffed it into my mouth.

I haven't eaten since I vomited last night. Now I'm so hungry that I can swallow anything I find in my stomach like a bandit.

I stood in front of the French window of the restaurant and watched Pang Zheng hurriedly walk from the south corridor of the hotel to the main hall of Liuli Pavilion. Not long after, he passed me again with Fu Huifang.

I quickly returned to the main hall and found that everyone else was talking about it, so I asked He Chuan what happened.

He Chuan shook his hand and replied: "I don't know very well. I just heard from Manager Pang that no one answered the door when he knocked on Tong Kai's room."

"What should we do?"

"Sun Feifei asked Fu Huifang to go to the duty room to get the spare room card, and planned to open the door and force Tong Kai to wake up."

After He Chuan finished speaking, Pang Zheng and Fu Huifang walked side by side through the main hall of Liuli Pavilion. I saw that Fu Huifang was holding a brand new room card in her hand.

He Chuan and I looked at each other, and then followed them to Tongkai's room 110 in unison.

Fu Huifang scanned the key card in the sensing area, and when we heard the sound of the door lock opening, we all reached in the door.

Tong Kai's room was unusually quiet. There was a musty smell in the air. Because the curtains in front of the windows were closed, the whole room seemed extremely dark. The room was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked by robbers. Clothes and pants were scattered all over the floor. The bathroom floor tiles were full of traces of water that had not yet dried up. The disposable body soap and shampoo on the washbasin showed signs of being opened and used. The faucet on the washbasin was still flowing out of the island. Purified fresh water that is extremely rare in the world.

Pang Zheng walked into the room and tried to turn on the lights, but found that the room card had not been inserted into the card slot. He took the room card from Fu Huifang and inserted it into the card slot, and the whole room returned to light.

The four of us walked back and forth in the room several times, searching all the hiding places, and finally came to the conclusion that Tong Kai was not in this room at all.

"Where has this guy gone?"

After Pang Zheng finished speaking, he turned back to the main hall and informed Sun Feifei of the matter.

Sun Feifei frowned and did not give the next instruction for a long time, but said to herself: "Tong Kai...where did he go?"

"Could it be that he went out alone?" Pang Zheng tried to help Sun Feifei analyze, "I found that Tong Kai's room was in a mess, as if he suddenly went out because of something urgent."

Sun Feifei shook her head: "Impossible, Tong Kai is not such an unorganized person."

"I say you should leave him alone!" Gao Youshuai, who was standing in front of the main hall, said impatiently, "What kind of organization does that Tongkai have? He has always been willing to make his own decisions. Liuli Island is so big, who can know him? Where to go? Besides, isn’t it normal for men to be dirty and messy?”

Gao Youshuai still has a shameless face when he speaks.

Sun Feifei also couldn't make up her mind, so she asked Pang Zheng again.

"Dr. Sun, we don't know exactly what happened to Tong Kai. But after all, Tong Kai has been your friend for many years, and there is a deep friendship between your fathers. Even if he is just an ordinary person, he is still a guest we invited. We can't ignore his disappearance and neglect our guests. And if something goes wrong with Tongkai, it's not a trivial matter. So I think, compared to the established travel plan, it is of course more important to find Tongkai. There is no doubt about it. There are currently twelve people on the island. Let’s search separately. It shouldn’t be difficult to find Tongkai.”

"Then why don't we rush to the sea?" Gao Youshuai looked very dissatisfied and didn't seem to care about Tong Kai's whereabouts.

At this time, Sun Feifei finally used a queen-like tone and issued an unquestionable order: "It's too late to rush to sea, we must find Tong Kai first."

Then the twelve of us were divided into four groups, led by Sun Feifei, Pang Zheng and Fu Huifang, who were familiar with the island's environment, and searched for Tong Kai's whereabouts in three routes.

Pang Zheng led me, Hou Wenyu and Yi Xiaoran out of Liuli Pavilion, into the jungle, and walked north along a very hidden path covered with weeds.

The jungle became more and more dense, and by the time the leaves overhead had covered the sky and the sun, an eerie atmosphere gradually enveloped the place.

"It's...something weird here." Yi Xiaoran said as she walked behind worriedly.

Just when I wanted to persuade Yi Xiaoran, I stepped on a hard object.
