732 “AV Shooting Guide” 696: Sun Day

Jian Baiyou buttoned up his clothes: “How many people are there on the island now?”

“There are 34 hosts, 258 guests, and 71 guests will arrive by plane tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.” Butler Beak said respectfully, “Which area do you want to stay in? I will make arrangements for you in advance.”

“It doesn’t matter, just stay away from your family.”

The Beak Butler agreed and stood up. His face finally turned to Qiao Qiao. The long bird’s beak was like a pointed awl, and the resin bird’s eyes glowed with a clear cold light. Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but take a step back.

“This guest, please present your invitation letter.”

Qiao Qiao looked at Jian Baiyou.

“I brought her here. Get her an ID card.”

“Understood.” Butler Bird’s Beak paused for a moment, “Is this a guest or…”

“Cricket.”

Beak Butler nodded, stepped aside and asked Qiao Qiao and Jian Baiyou to get off the plane first.

Qiao Qiao was so angry when he heard the conversation between the two just now. Since Butler Bird’s Beak asked if he was a guest, it meant that Jian Baiyou could bring a normal person to Paradise Island!Then why did he lie to her and become a cricket?

In front of outsiders, Qiao Qiao couldn’t ask questions, so he could only follow behind with a sigh of relief, planning to wait until he got to a clean place to ask questions.

After getting off the ramp and looking around, she discovered that the airport of Paradise Island was actually located in a naturally formed volcanic crater, with steep rock walls on all sides. The volcanic ash erupted over millions of years has been deposited layer by layer into solid and flat rocks, turning this place into the most suitable terrain for aircraft takeoff and landing.

However, even though it is a volcanic crater, there are still many traces of artificial carvings. There is a circle of oversized lighting lamps inlaid on the top of the rock wall. There are at least thousands of them. They illuminate the entire airport as bright as day. Even a mouse running past can be seen clearly.In addition to the most basic lighting devices, there are also carvings and paintings on the rock wall. The area is also astonishingly large, especially one of the gates of hell made of bones, which stands tall and towering.

Qiao Qiao knew nothing about Western religious imagery. She could only barely recognize the classic shapes of angels and demons at a glance. As for other weird things, she couldn’t understand them at all.

But thinking about Paradise Island’s definitions of ‘heaven’, ‘human world’, and ‘hell’, she could probably guess that what should be painted on it was the chaos of the intersection of the three realms of hell, earth, and heaven.

If nothing else, it’s quite meaningful.

Beak Butler led them to an elevator. Everything was fine in the front. But when they got here, Qiao Qiao began to feel something was different. First of all, the elevator looked yellow and golden. Qiao Qiao touched it with his hand and found that it had a metal texture. He suspected that it was not made of gold, but he thought it was impossible. Gold is so expensive, but the color of the alloy is not so bright.

If there weren’t two people next to her, she would have wanted to go up and take a bite to see if it was real or not.

Beak Butler: “Master, which floor do you want to go to?”

Jian Baiyou thought for a while: “It’s sunny.”

Soon the elevator arrived, and Butler Bird’s Beak made a sign of invitation. Jian Baiyou went first, followed closely by Qiao Qiao.There is a lot of space in this elevator, which is more than enough for two cars. There is also a sofa for resting and a wine cabinet, which is like a mobile bar.Butler Beak poured wine for the two of them, the elevator door was completely closed, and it began to descend at a constant speed.

Qiao Qiao silently calculated the height from the crater to the ground, and felt that the elevator would take a long time to run. No wonder there were drinks and sofas inside. It was really boring to stand there.

Jian Baiyou sat on the corner of the sofa with his hands folded across his chest, not saying anything. He seemed to be a different person since he came to Paradise Island, and his mood was obviously bad. Qiao Qiao didn’t dare to disturb him, so he talked to Butler Birdbill.

She is no longer afraid of this person. Except for the scary beak mask, everything else is quite normal. Moreover, he is so respectful to Jian Baiyou and does not show any impatience towards Qiao Qiao.

The first thing Qiao Qiao asked was the cricket competition.

“The competition will last for a week, and the events will be different every year. It is a repertoire on the island and will not be known until the day of the competition.”

Qiao Qiao: “What have you competed with before?”

“Last year there was only one competition, called the zoo.”

“What do you mean?”

“Put ‘Cricket’ in a cage with 36 species of animals. If you survive for a week, you will win.”

Qiao Qiao said in a trembling voice: “How many survived in the end?”

“More than a hundred people participated, and more than eighty survived in the end.” Seeing Qiao Qiao’s bad expression, he quickly added, “This was an unexpected situation. There was something wrong with the animals last year. The animals got into a fight before the crickets came in, resulting in only a dozen beasts left. But the beasts were too lazy and refused to move when they were full, so so many people survived.”

When Qiao Qiao heard this, he wanted to die.

“What about this year? There won’t be a Zoo 2.0, right?”

Beak Butler shook his head: “Don’t worry about this. Last year, the cricket competition also received a lot of criticism. Some guests felt that it was too simple and crude and lacked enjoyment, so this year the gameplay has been improved. There will no longer be a zoo-style event, it will be more gentle and interesting.”

“That’s good, that’s good…” She clutched her chest with lingering fear, “How can you lock people and animals together? It’s too cruel.”

“Yes.” Beak Butler agreed, “These animals are all flown from Africa. Each one is precious and should not be wasted on crickets.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

She looked at Deacon Beak: “I would like to ask, have you received nine years of compulsory education?”

“Don’t be stupid.” Jian Baiyou interjected coolly, “These people grew up on the island. Telling them that everyone is equal is like explaining cars to an orangutan.”

Beak Butler nodded: “Yes, I have been on the island since I can remember. This is my home, and my body and mind belong to the masters.”

Qiao Qiao wanted to ask again, but the elevator seemed to have reached its end, but the elevator door would not open.

She looked at Jian Baiyou, who was sipping wine carelessly, showing no sign of getting up.The beaked butler was still standing in his original position. He should have been waiting by the door.

After a while, the elevator actually started again, moving forward slowly like a train.

Qiao Qiao was shocked. Isn’t this an elevator?How can there be an elevator that can move forward like a train?

“It’s a magnetic levitation.” Deacon Bird’s Beak explained, “This can save you the trouble of changing transportation.”

“It’s just an island… As for using magnetic levitation?” She remembered that the magnetic levitation speed can reach up to 600 kilometers per hour. The island is not big, and it can reach the place without waiting for acceleration. Why bother?

“Other driving methods are not smooth and quiet enough.” Bird Beak Butler pointed Qiao Qiao to look at the wine glass on the table. The wine was only slightly swaying in the glass and would not spill out even if it was full.

Qiao Qiao: “…”

Just to allow guests to drink a glass of wine quietly during this short journey, they are not willing to build a maglev that costs hundreds of millions per kilometer?

This island can no longer be called rich. Is it because the money is too much?!

It had only been ten minutes since she got off the plane, and her values ​​had been reshaped several times. The most terrible thing was that this trip to the paradise island had just begun. They said they would go to the temple to worship Buddha, but she had already worshiped several Buddhas before entering the temple.

The speed of the ‘train’ was very fast, and it felt like it started to slow down in the blink of an eye. At this time, Butler Bird’s Beak took out a tray with several exquisite masks on it. He knelt in front of Jian Baiyou and raised the tray high above his head for Jian Baiyou to choose.

Jian Baiyou glanced at it, picked up the one with the largest coverage area, and covered his face.

Beak Butler stood up and put the tray back into the cabinet.

Qiao Qiao raised his hand: “Uh… I don’t have one?”

“Sorry, this is for guests to protect their privacy.”

Okay, ‘cricket’ has no human rights.

With a ‘ding dong’ sound, they arrived at their destination. The beaked butler walked to the door and bent down deeply, making an inviting gesture.

As his back arched step by step, the ‘elevator door’ slowly opened.

“‘God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life…'” Deacon Bird’s Beak murmured. Qiao Qiao didn’t quite understand, so he ignored it.

All her attention was on the door.

Qiao Qiao had imagined many kinds of paradise islands. She had already seen the 100-meter-high murals and maglev trains, and had a rough idea of ​​the island’s financial resources. She guessed that if not splendid, it would be extremely luxurious. There must be gold and silver everywhere, and maybe even the floor tiles were made of gemstones.

But unexpectedly, there was an ordinary square behind the door.

It is so ordinary that there are pigeons, fountains, small vendors, and buskers playing the piano. There are green trees, a gentle breeze, and the sunshine is like a waterfall.

Wait a moment.

Sunshine?

Qiao Qiao raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun high in the sky, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Has she traveled through time?Isn’t it twelve o’clock in the evening?Even if there is a jet lag, it won’t switch to broad daylight, right?

“Artificial sun.” Jian Baiyou said calmly, “Heaven is divided into ten levels. This is the fourth level of solar sky. There is light here 24 hours a day.”

Qiao Qiao nodded stiffly.

She felt like the peasant who imagined that the emperor would hoe the earth with a golden hoe, whose imagination was limited by poverty.She thought that so-called luxury meant paving the floor with gold bricks and building walls with precious stones. She never thought that true luxury meant creating the impossible.

For example, at this time, creating a sun on an isolated island in the ocean directly overturns the cycle of day and night. This is the ultimate luxury.

Suddenly, a snow-white pigeon flew over and landed affectionately on Qiao Qiao’s shoulder, flapping its wings. A soft scent of wheat came from it. Qiao Qiao looked around and found a masked man feeding the pigeons with bread. This is where the scent of wheat probably came from.

Is the person wearing the mask a guest?

The vendors did not wear masks, and neither did the street performers. Among the people in sight, only that man and Jian Baiyou were wearing masks.

“Want to feed me? There’s a bakery over there.”

Qiao Qiao said shyly: “I have no money.”

Jian Baiyou smiled: “Everything here is free, if you ask for it they will give it to you.”

At this time, the pigeons in the square were frightened by some unknown reason. They flapped their wings and flew up. Qiao Qiao hurriedly hid aside.

Jian Baiyou: “Pigeons don’t bite, so why are you running away?”

Qiao Qiao scratched his head: “Birds are all gullible. If such a large group flies over your head, they will definitely drop their excrement.”

“The pigeons here don’t.”

“Eh? Why?”

Jian Baiyou stretched out a hand, and the pigeon jumped from Qiao Qiao’s shoulder to Jian Baiyou’s finger in a humane way, cooing, very familiar.

“Look.”

Qiao Qiao was about to ask where she was looking when her eyes suddenly caught sight of something. Her pupils shrank and she grabbed the pigeon without caring about anything else.

The pigeon was very docile and would just lie quietly in someone’s hand when caught. Qiao Qiao gently brushed away the hair on the pigeon’s butt and found that the area where the anus should have been had been branded.

It was charred, and the flesh and blood were all stuck together. Unless it was broken open manually, the pigeon would never be able to expel anything.

All this is hidden under the white feathers, like an ugly wound.

Qiao Qiao raised his head and said blankly: “These pigeons will be suffocated to death.”

Jian Baiyou smiled: “Then change a batch. Everything on Paradise Island is like this. Do you still want to feed it?”

“No…” Qiao Qiao let go of his hand, and the pigeon flapped its wings twice, flew to another guest, and pecked at the bread on the ground.

The scene that I thought was warm just now now makes my back feel cold when I look at it again.

The more pigeons that cannot excrete, the more they eat, the faster they will die.
