A Subtle Feeling

"Something strange?" Song Juwei queried, pulling his chair over and settling himself down on it. He had a hunch that he needed to be seated for whatever he was about to hear next. "What is it?"

"Father Song asked us to investigate the missing people on the island," Yurong Tao began, catching the older man by surprise because he didn't have the slightest idea about this at all. On top of all the peculiar things that occurred there, now people went missing as well?! Pressing a hand against his aching temple, he listened as Yurong Tao continued, "According to the information he gathered, the disappearance happened around two decades ago, and during that time, people would vanish each year. The villagers never acted out of the ordinary, most likely because they wanted to bury everything under the rug, and it was only when an outsider disappeared that this case was brought to light. Anyway," he cleared his throat, and Song Juwei rose to pour a glass of water for him.
