Seeing how confused Fatty was, Jiang Cheng explained, “Whale songs are also called whale words. They are the sounds whales make to communicate with each other. Due to the low frequency, it’s hard for normal people to hear them.”
Fatty looked at the tall man with curiosity. The man stayed close to the Loli girl obediently. His personality was a great contrast to his appearance. After realising many people were looking at him, he lowered his head nervously. The Loli girl rubbed his hand to console him. Considering the man’s mysterious actions, the young master seemed to realise something.
“Is he… your family?” The young master asked.
The Loli girl ruffled the tall man’s hair and looked at him with great gentleness. “He’s my little brother.” The Loli girl pointed at her head. “We are twins, but… My brother is special. He relies on me a lot.”
Fatty finally understood the reason behind the man’s various strange actions. To put it simply, the man was mentally challenged.
“However, he also gains some special abilities because of it,” The young master smiled, “I hope you don’t mind me calling him Rain Man.”
The Loli girl shrugged, “Up to you.”
“In other words… the people from Black Iron Town were frightened after they heard the whale song.” Fatty widened his eyes, “The it they mentioned… is a fish?”
Jiang Cheng shook his head, “No.”
Jiang Cheng patted Fatty on his shoulder, “Whales are mammals and not fish.”
The climber girl stared at Jiang Cheng. She couldn’t understand how this pretty-looking man could still joke at a time . Did he want to die?
Clearly, this whale was not a common whale. As for what it really was, none of them had any idea. However, one thing was certain. This whale must have something to do with the curses.
The night deepened. The night was different from the ones they had experienced. Looking through the small window, the darkness outside was not still but had a sand-like quality. This place was so inexplicable. Had it really existed in real life?
The tension spread. Everyone was thinking. Fatty once suspected that the Loli girl was lying about the whale song. He didn’t know about the young master, but Fatty was sure the Doctor wouldn’t be so interested in a lie. Therefore, he believed the Loli girl was telling the truth… or at least part of it.
“We’ve been here for so long, but we still don’t know each other’s name.” The young master looked at everyone. “I feel so impolite.” The young master continued, “Why don’t I start? The name’s Chen Ran.”
The biker woman widened her eyes and blurted out, “You’re Chen Ran?!”
Chen Ran blinked and asked in disbelief, “Do you know me?”
However, his disbelief became gloating in Jiang Cheng’s eyes.
Fatty noticed the way the Doctor looked at Chen Ran had changed. He had seen this gaze before… on Discovery Channel. When the male lions spotted a new competitor among the pride, they would reveal this gaze. Fatty was certain that the Doctor thought the young master was purposely stealing his thunder before the girls.
The biker woman’s face darkened. Eventually, she answered, “No. I just feel that the name is familiar… like I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
The young master nodded. He didn’t pursue this but turned to the next person. It was the Loli girl. The girl lifted her head. Her black eyes shone on her cute face. Different from the start, she emanated a chilling aura.
“My name is Su Xiaoxiao.” When she turned to the tall man beside her, her eyes softened a lot. It was clear that they shared a good relationship, “This is my little brother, Su An.”
The young master commented, “Miss Su is amazing to join your brother in the nightmare.”
“We’re used to it.” Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, “We only had each other since we were young.” Then, she adjusted her brother’s clothes so he’d look more presentable. The man didn’t dare to look at the others, but he sneakily gave his big sister a big smile. Then, he mimicked his sister and adjusted her clothes.
“What do you do for a living?” The biker woman felt that the sibling was very weird.
“I don’t do anything. The inheritance I got is enough for us to survive. My only wish is to look after my brother.”
The next was the biker woman. She said her name was Liang Long. She was a rock climbing instructor. She was once a professional rock climber.
Then, she looked at the next person. Fatty didn’t hurry to speak because the last time he did, the Doctor said that he was an orphan. Instead, he glanced at the Doctor. When he noticed that the Doctor was too distracted thinking about something, Fatty sighed in relief. Then, he rehearsed the speech that he had prepared for himself. The moment he opened his mouth, the Doctor’s voice began.
“His situation is rather special. He has no name because…” Jiang Cheng pressed his lips, and his eyes shone with compassion, “He is also mentally-special. However, different from the big brother,” Jiang Cheng sighed, “He is merely dumb. He doesn’t have any special powers.”
Jiang Cheng said, “You can call him Fatty. I hear that’s what the people at the orphanage refer to him as.”
