470, the legendary Siren (2)
The news hit Yuna's family hard, her mother fainted in anger, and her brothers were even more indignant to join the Kraken hunting team to find the Kraken and kill them to avenge their father.
Yuna couldn't accept the news brought back by the crew, she wanted to question the survivors, but she was only a 16-year-old girl, and now the survivors were being condoled by the mayor and interviewed by reporters, not as a little girl of hers, she could only see the newspaper interviews about them, and the Kraken they described was a mermaid.
Since she couldn't see the survivors, Yuna had to go to Miller and ask them.
Ask if there was some misunderstanding, or if there was some other kraken who looked like a merfolk who killed his father?
However, when Yuna looked for it, Miller and the others weren't in the cave where they used to play, not any of them.
Yuna went several times, but they didn't find any trace of Miller, and although they sometimes couldn't find them before, they would leave her messages, but this time they didn't leave her anything, and they disappeared.
Each time, she would hold a pendant made of blue fish scales that Miller had given her, and call Miller desperately.
Miller said that if he wanted to see him, he would come here and soak in the sea and call him with fish scales, and he could feel her call and would come back to see her.
It always worked before, even if it was a few days later, Miller would show up, but this time Miller was nowhere to be seen.
Yuna was terrified, and countless terrible speculations roared in her head.
I don't know if it was playing with the Kraken that brought disaster to my father's ship.
Suddenly, she remembered. She gave her father the lucky seashell that Miller had given her to keep safe, and Miller said that the seashell would bless people with a smooth ride on the surface of the sea, shelter from storms, and that even if the wearer was in danger, there would be mermaids to help.
Seeing that her father was going to sea, she was worried about his father's safety, so she gave her lucky seashell to her father.
But why is it that the truth is different from what Miller said?
Father's ship sank, and only three survivors returned.
In the past, my father had never encountered a disaster when he didn't wear a seashell, but this time he had an accident when he wore the seashell given by Miller!
How could it be so coincidental?
Could the Kraken that the survivors are talking about be Miller?
In the legends. The Kraken is the one who can deceive the crew and humans with its beautiful face. Could it be that her seashell pointed the way for the Sirens to search for prey in the vast ocean?
Yuna was so frightened by her own speculation that she couldn't sleep at night, and the condemnation in her heart made her more and more unable to face her family and herself, and the girl became more and more haggard.
A week later. The Kraken Hunting Party set off. The main members are the families of the victims. There aren't many people.
Because the mayor of Amisterdam is not in favor of hunting the Kraken, no one has ever caught the Kraken, and the Kraken is so powerful. How many ships have been sunk by them, how many people have died at the hands of the Kraken? These individuals are tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Such hunting activities are illegal and without government/government sponsorship.
But Yuna's brothers and the other victims' families set off anyway, and they managed to get the help of the three survivors to guide them.
Then, they never came back......
Waited another week.
None of the people in the hunting group returned.
After another three days, only the lucky old Willis returned, and even the two survivors from the last time failed to return, and the old Willis said that everyone was eaten by the Kraken.
Old Willis was very remorseful and frightened, and announced that he would never go to sea again.
Old Willis's attitude and the news he brought back undoubtedly made the family worse for the family that lost their father, and the family of five and three men all died at the hands of the Kraken.
Mother cries every day.
Young Yuna couldn't bear the pressure of her heart anymore, it was too painful to keep a secret alone, and if Miller was really a kraken, then she would be unforgivable.
If that were the case, Yuna felt guilty, and if she had told her about knowing the mermaid earlier, wouldn't her brothers have gone out to find the Kraken? If she had told her family earlier, maybe her family would have prevented her from meeting the Kraken, and she wouldn't have given her father what the Kraken had sent.
But Yuna doesn't want to believe that the mermaid she has known for many years is a kraken, could it be a misunderstanding?
But she was just an underage girl, and she was powerless to verify her conjectures, and if she wanted to do so, she had to rely on an adult.
Yuna confesses to her mother that she and the merfolk are friends.
The woman, who had lost her husband and two sons in succession, was so angry that she beat Yuna, but she didn't want to lose her last daughter, so she told Yuna not to tell her about it, otherwise the victim's family would put all the blame on her and beat her to death.
Yuna knew that her mother was still blaming her in her heart, but even though her mother beat her, she was still thinking about her.
Yuna blamed herself even more, and she didn't dare to tell her mother about it again.
But she still couldn't let go, and secretly ran to find old Willis at night.
She pretended to wonder what happened to her father and brother in the end, and asked old Willis.
Yuna was too young to be tricked by old Willis, although the girl shut up in time and didn't leak much information, but old Willis guessed what she was verifying, she asked a lot about the Kraken in addition to asking about her father and brother, and it seemed that the Kraken was described more clearly than he had ever said.
Unaware that she was being suspected by old Willis, Yuna returned home disappointed.
The next day, as usual, she went to their secret base with Miller, and waited in the cave for a long time, calling for a long time, and crying for a long time.
She desperately hopes that Miller and the others will come out and prove that she is not a Kraken, telling her that everything is that she is thinking too much.
But she didn't summon her friends back, and the old Willis who came after them did follow.
What she said had already been heard by old Willis.
Old Willis wasn't really old, he was just unkempt, with a beard and a very depressed face, which made people think he was very old, but in fact he was about the same age as Yuna's father.
He had been a sailor for many years, and he had a lot of strength, and he was holding Yuna like a chicken, and after they left the cave, they went to the Coast Guard.
Old Willis also called the people on the beach with gongs and drums, and loudly told Yuna about the collusion with the Kraken, and the necklace made of Miller's falling scales worn by Yuna around her neck became ironclad evidence of the crime.
The people who were attracted believed the words of old Willis, who had successfully escaped from the kraken three times, and said that it was the kraken's scales, so it must be the kraken's scales, and no one knew the kraken better than old Willis. (To be continued.) )
