Chapter 137: Hathaway's Diary (3)
Devil Island?
Hathaway was shocked at first, she is adventurous and quite brave, but at the same time, as a little genius of scientific research and invention, she is also very sensible, if it is really something vicious, she is a weak woman, even if she practices a few self-defense punches and kicks, it is still better not to go......
But I've collected three of them, and if I don't collect them all, I really can't bear it......
"What Devil Island, tell me clearly!" Hathaway asked quietly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The lewd man got up from the ground and replied cautiously—Hathaway's palm was still in his face, so he had to speak carefully—and said, "People who often go to sea near this island know it, and there is a legend about this island for a long time, and it is rumored that when someone was fishing in the nearby sea, he saw a mythical bird on this island, and later ...... Many people want to venture to the island and look for the sights of the mythical birds, but no one can get close to the island, and all those who try to get to the island will eventually find that no matter how long they sail, they always keep a fixed distance from the island...... Except, well, except for that ......"
"Except for what?" Hathaway was listening to it, and when she saw him slurring and spitting, she frowned greatly, and the arc of the palm of her glove almost jumped in the face of the lewd man.
The lewd man was startled, and quickly continued honestly: "Except for the most vicious people!"
Thinking so, his heart was much more steady, and when he saw that the ordinary-looking aunt in front of him seemed to be impatient again, he hurriedly said: "As long as those people get close to this island, no one will ever see them come back...... As a result, the island has come to be called "Evil Ghost Island", which means "an island that only evil spirits can go to". ”
"......," Hathaway asked, grimacing, after a moment, "when was the last time someone was rumored to have disappeared into that island?"
The lewd man thought for a while with a bitter face, and said, "I haven't heard of such a stupid person wanting to approach that island for a long time......" The expression of the aunt and grandmother before the meeting was wrong, he immediately woke up and said the wrong thing, and quickly finished the words in a row: "It seems to be four years ago! Four years ago, I heard that there was a villain who wanted to go to that island, and finally lost his trace!"
Hathaway snorted coldly, interrogated for a while, and finally waved his hand to let the little thug who couldn't get on the table get out.
The thugs crawled away.
Hathaway walked out of the alley, pulled the brim of her cap back, wrinkled her face, pursed her lips, pondered for a while, and finally decided, "Whatever!
And why is there such a thing as 'unapproachable except the most wicked......'? She made a lot of conjectures in an instant, maybe there was some kind of special magnetic field near that island, which can interfere with the human brain's judgment of direction, so people who want to approach that island will spin in place?
"But what kind of magnetic field will distinguish ...... What about the good and evil of people?" Hathaway was puzzled, and looked at the street where people came and went, and the blue and bright ocean not far away, Hathaway carried the package on her back and looked for a direction.
…………
After chartering a yacht with a private financial card, Hathaway boarded the ship and set sail.
"Pong. The package was thrown to the ground, and Hathaway walked to the cockpit.
In the time when she was renting a yacht, Hathaway had already spent half a day temporarily learning all the operations of the yacht, and she also made up for all the precautions of the sea voyage.
So, for a genius like Miss Hathaway, the question of sailing was not a problem, it was a question of how to approach the island.
"132 km, well, not too far......"
Hathaway's eyes flashed thoughtfully, curiosity and excitement flashed, she set aside the marked chart, put the cap on her head backwards, and swung the rudder with both hands:
"Let's go!"
After all, she is also a 20-year-old girl, and she has never been to sea before, so it is still very novel and exciting to drive a yacht on the sea by herself.
It didn't take long for it to get a little boring......
Halfway through the voyage, Hathaway was bored, and it was with great difficulty that she managed to keep herself from dozing. After a few more moments, the shadow of an island appeared in the distance.
"See!" Hathaway's eyes lit up, and she suddenly came to her senses, her eyes showed fighting spirit, "Hmph, let me see, what secrets do you have......"
With a snort, the yacht sped across the sea, splitting the figure-eight white waves and sailing straight towards the island called 'Devil's Island' in front of it. But just as it was close to about ten kilometers left, the yacht's trajectory changed, and it began to spin in circles, never to sail forward......
If the yacht is a person, then this scene is like a fool, staring at the destination not far ahead, and then going around in circles on his own......
"No!" Hathaway muttered as she slapped the rudder, her face furrowed, her hand touched her smooth and delicate chin, her eyes fixed on the island that had never been approached in front of her, "is that really so, what is interfering with my judgment?"
She glanced at the various instruments and equipment in the cockpit in front of her, and shook her head with a contemplative look on her face.
Taking a few deep breaths, Hathaway emptied her mind and had no distractions, she stared at the strange island in front of her, and said in a deep voice, "Let's try again." ”
Hitting the street again, the yacht was never able to move even a kilometer closer to the island.
Hathaway's fighting spirit came up, she meditated, paced back and forth in the cockpit, rolled on the floor, rolled around, hit the bulkhead with her head, rolled her eyes, and finally had an idea, she rolled to the package thrown on the floor, got up, took out the square detector inside the package, smiled, and whispered: "Just let me see, is my machine a 'good guy' or a 'wicked guy'......"
With that, Hathaway took out the various devices and tools that she had carried with her in the package, and dismantled the console at the front of the yacht's cockpit...... When it was already dark, the waves began to rise.
The yacht that had been floating in this sea for a long time finally moved, and it was no longer a fool, staring at the target and spinning in place, but chopping the waves, moving forward bravely, and sailing without hesitation to the island in the night ahead......
In the cabin, Hathaway was asleep with the package in her arms. On the desktop of the console in front, a square detector with a side length of 30 centimeters is connected to the inside of the console with dense wires, and on the detector screen, a red dot is highlighted on the location of the island in front of it, flashing constantly......
…………
It wasn't until the morning sun rose that Hathaway woke up to the sound of the waves. She lay on the floor in the cab, and when she opened her eyes, she woke up with a bright sparkle in them. Half a second later, Hathaway remembered what had happened before she fell asleep.
With the sound of the crashing waves in her ears, Hathaway slammed up from the floor, clicked, and fell to the cockpit console, poked her head out of the porthole, and sure enough, ...... The yacht has come to the shallows of the island!
Outside, the sea and blue sky, the white clouds, and the lush forests on the island are really a beautiful view!
Suddenly, a fiery red flickered through the jungle.
What is it?
Hathaway was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes for a while and didn't notice anything, so she didn't pay attention to it.
"Well, it doesn't matter...... "The girl with long blond hair stretched lazily and smiled proudly, "Hmph, what kind of evil ghost island, can you stump this genius?"
