Chapter 2618
Regardless of the reason, Jiang Wan felt that as a newcomer, unfamiliar with the place and its people, no one knew what the future held.
I don't know which incense stick, if burned correctly, will help her.
Therefore, it is not advisable to offend people.
Moreover, the other party's request was so gentle that she couldn't refuse directly.
So she nodded and said, "I don't know how the island owner has arranged things for me yet. I'll see what he has in mind before I decide."
The East District Chief said with a smile, "Don't worry, the island owner won't take up all your time. He will definitely set aside plenty of time for the other districts."
You'll understand later.
He didn't want to say too much, he just gave Jiang Wan a brief nod.
Jiang Wan smiled and left.
As she exited, Richard was still waiting nearby. Seeing her come out, he said:
"I'll take you to the Nine-Story Pagoda now!"
Jiang Wan said, "Could you let me walk around the island first, take a look at the surroundings, and get familiar with it before we talk about it?"
Richard said, "You can come out and look again after you go in."
Jiang Wan shook her head, thinking of the kind of physical examination Richard had mentioned: "I don't really like other people looking at my body."
Richard covered his mouth and chuckled: "Actually, you don't have to get checked."
Jiang Wan looked at him in surprise. Richard said, "If you are willing to join our East District and serve only the East District from now on, you won't need to participate in the inspection."
Jiang Wan's face darkened. She thought to herself that this old fox was waiting for her here, and he didn't seem to be a good person either.
Jiang Wan already knew that the island was called Devil Island, although she didn't know why it was called Devil Island.
But that didn't stop her from running around on it.
Richard agreed to show her around, so Jiang Wan started wandering around.
She discovered that many ordinary people lived here, so Jiang Wan wondered if Qiao Ya's father, Qiao Zhendong, was also among these ordinary people.
How can she find Qiao Zhendong?
Although she had doubts, she did not show them.
Richard, at least, couldn't tell anything.
Jiang Wan followed Richard around, exploring almost every part of Alcatraz.
Richard said, "It's getting dark, you need to go back to the Nine-Story Pagoda."
Jiang Wan asked, "Could you send me there a couple more days later, so I can explore the island properly?"
Actually, she wanted to see if there was any way to escape.
What Jiang Wan didn't expect was that Richard had seen through all her thoughts.
Richard said calmly, "Don't even think about it. You can't escape this island on your own."
Jiang Wan discovered that her little secret had been exposed.
There was absolutely no awkwardness.
Instead, she smiled and pulled Richard aside to sit down, saying, "Come on, tell me in detail why you think I can't leave this island?"
Richard sighed helplessly and said, "You probably don't realize how bleak your future will be, yet you can still laugh now."
"This shows that your mind is relatively firm."
"But it won't last long."
Richard then listed more than a dozen crimes committed on Alcatraz.
This is pretty much what the outside world knows: the people on this island have no kindness or gentleness whatsoever; everything is decided by fists and strength.
From elderly people in their seventies and eighties to children as young as 30, everyone can swing their fists a few times.
According to Richard, the island is surrounded by strong currents, making it impossible for ships to enter.
Even when the tide is high, the boat can get close, but it only unloads its cargo and then quickly leaves.
Even so, their own people might still cause the ship to break anchor halfway through the journey.
So, most of the shipwrecks exposed after the tide receded around the island actually came from Devil's Island itself. This answer left Jiang Wan somewhat bewildered; the people on the island really were resilient in the face of setbacks.
Richard added, "There are natural magnetic fields around the island, which can distort compasses."
"Therefore, airplanes cannot fly directly here."
"If we force our way in, we'll either crash or unknowingly change direction and fly back."
Jiang Wan was somewhat surprised by this answer, but she asked, puzzled, "Then how did we get here?"
"Since the ship couldn't dock, I must have come by plane, but I didn't feel anything at all, and I just ended up here inexplicably."
Richard said:
"How did you get here? That's the secret of this island, and I can't tell you."
"In fact, I don't know the answer either, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. You should just go and see the island lord!"
Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of him, Jiang Wan obediently followed him toward the Nine-Story Pagoda.
As he got closer, he saw that although there were only nine floors between the towers, each floor contained three smaller floors.
She could see the spiral staircase and the railings layer by layer through the glass from afar, which meant that the entire tower was not just nine stories high, but very likely dozens of stories.
That's terrifying.
Before even getting close to the tower, Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many cages inside that tower?"
With Jiang Wan's eyesight, she could only vaguely see the railings; she couldn't see anything else clearly.
Richard said, "Have you forgotten what this island is called? Devil's Island!"
"The nine-story tower is where demons are imprisoned; it's actually a prison."
Jiang Wan's face darkened when she heard this. She asked why she had to live in the tower, especially on the 9th floor.
Who kind person turned their residence into this? It turns out it's a man-made tower-shaped prison.
Jiang Wan had to admit that the person who created this nine-story tower was truly a genius, because he used a lot of manpower and resources to turn these prisons into the shape of a tower, occupying space but freeing up a lot of space on the island for ordinary people to live in.
So the question is, does Qiao Zhendong live in that nine-story tower, or in one of the four regions of east, west, south, and north?
She couldn't help but turn to Richard and ask, "If I were looking for someone here, would I be able to find them?"
"Or rather, will the island owner allow me to search?"
Richard asked suspiciously, "What? Do you have relatives living here?"
Jiang Wan glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Where are you from?"
Richard clearly didn't want to get close to her, and raised his chin, saying, "I'm from country Y."
Seeing his arrogant little expression, Jiang Wan didn't want to talk to him anymore.
I simply quickened my pace and walked forward.
Seeing that Jiang Wan didn't speak, he didn't ask her any more questions.
Richard, on the contrary, became somewhat worried.
He wondered if his noble lineage had frightened the little girl.
Richard was of marriageable age, but the women on the island were all too fierce.
He looked down on Jiang Wan, who was new to the area. She looked weak and frail, but the key thing was that this girl was very good at making money.
