Arc 2: Murder Island
Chapter 36: Discussion

The director's Weibo didn't have many posts and he even bumped this one to the top.

Su Min scrolled down and saw that the director had received a lot of questions about the islands past in an old post, so he took the initiative to make a new post explaining it.

This post was a long article. At first glance, all the basic explanations were listed.

Su Min picked out the ones he wanted to read and read through them.

The director himself filmed it so he naturally knew of the background of the story and the characters that didn't have a name in the movie also had their own backgrounds and set ups.

For example, the one screaming pitifully in the bathroom. Su Min didn't know what it was, but the post explained that he was an islander that was killed in the bathroom and was even cut into pieces.

The two dark shadows crouching on the floor were the murderers.

The post didn't mention the water from the showerhead, but Su Min guessed that it was probably something the movie did to make things a little scarier.

The one in the sea was also an islander. There originally weren't many islanders and females accounted for half of that. The remaining male islanders were all killed.

The most important thing was naturally the explanation for the skinning.

Su Min had always thought that it was Uncle He and the others who had that ability to changes skins but unexpectedly the director said that it was originally something the islanders possessed.

The islanders have had this method passed through the generations, but they rarely used it. Because every time it is used they would need a sacrifice and the blind granny didn't allow outsiders to be harmed, they could only do it if one volunteered.

There were cases of couples volunteering for each other or parents doing it for their child.

The blind granny was the one responsible for the handling of this skill, but she had passed away several months ago.

Uncle He and the others had only stayed on the island for a week when one of the villagers relapsed. They didn't want to harm themselves so they wanted to use the outsiders, but they didn't' expect Uncle He to overhear them.

He later secretly learnt the method and even used it on the islanders in a successful act of counterattacking.

The islanders wanted to harm the outsiders but was eventually killed by them.

The director explained this very simply and allowed the audience to guess the rest. Afterall, it's more interesting if you thought about it yourself.

"So, this island met its own retribution?"

"I think that this set up is unnecessarily complicated. What's with all the changing skins and the like? Killing people directly is much simpler and easier to understand."

"Although I don't get it, it seems pretty amazing."

"I was confused after watching the movie but fortunately I saw this post. If I didn't, I would be thinking about it for the rest of the week."
