A short key snap was heard, and the TV was turned on.

A dignified-looking newscaster came into view, and her voice came from the speaker of the TV set like a mechanical fixation: "According to the latest news on August 5, the shipwreck of the Italian-built luxury princess that was killed the day before yesterday is under urgent investigation, and the number of rescued people has reached 56. ”

As soon as the TV picture changed, a male reporter with a microphone appeared in the picture, and as the camera rotated, he was photographed one by one lifted out of a large lifeboat, some of the people lying on the stretcher were excited, some were not injured but shouted and were nervous, and some were only slightly injured and were being bandaged and cared for by nurses.

Seeing such a scene, the male reporter brewed his feelings and said: "According to the official statement of the Marine Accident Investigation Center, the number of victims has reached more than 3,000 at present, which is a serious marine accident. ”

The picture was cut back, and the hostess said: "According to the emergency medical team, 32% of the rescued people are unwilling to tell their real experience of shipwreck, 68% are mentally unstable and may have a mental breakdown at any time, and are currently receiving psychological counseling and treatment, and the salvage team is trying to salvage the black box in the cruise ship in order to unravel the cause of the accident." ”

The hostess turned to the next page of information and continued: "The General Administration of Maritime Disaster and Climate sent a conclusion that through satellite observations, there was a large area of dark clouds over the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean the day before yesterday, and there was no way to investigate and observe the data, but a senior meteorologist said that the dark clouds were turbine-shaped from the satellite cloud map, and through the oscillating ripples of sea water fluctuations, an earthquake occurred in the submarine crust at the location of the disaster caused a strong wind of more than seven and a large tsunami in a small area. At that time, the sea area was full of negative electrodes interfering with normal communications, so the failure to send out the alarm signal in time was one of the reasons for the shipwreck. ”

The hostess paused and said: "It is reported that the rescue team found the wreck lying on the Atlantic Sea, the British government is contacting the Italian shipyard to see if it is possible to repair the cruise ship, the preliminary estimate is that the shipwreck caused direct economic losses of up to 1 billion US dollars, the shipwreck also reminded us that we should strengthen the shipwreck police system, so as not to cause another tragedy, this station will continue to pay attention to do follow-up reports." ”

The hostess flipped to the next page of information, and said: "Today, there was a car accident in London, resulting in three deaths, the driver of the accident escaped, and the police are closely pursuing"

I sat on the edge of my bed and remembered how I had been on the island two days earlier.

Two days ago, after witnessing Bishop Albus's dissipation, we drove the lifeboat all the way to the east with a sad heart, until the middle of the sun, when the lifeboat was out of power and had stopped moving forward, and still did not see the land, and our hearts were anxious to imagine, so we could only go with the flow.

Joseph was one of the most sorrowful of us, but he jumped into the sea and pushed the lifeboat on, and his indomitable spirit made me feel ashamed even when I saw it, I was the most physically strong of all of them, because I had absorbed a lot of life energy in the shipwreck, and I jumped into the sea to push the lifeboat forward with Joseph.

The Baroness at that time was very touched by our efforts, and the experience of suffering together on this boundless sea was truly unforgettable, and the life and death on the cruise ship was even more impressive.

Joseph and I pushed through the water as hard as we could, until Joseph had no strength, and Joseph said, "I can't do it anymore, go on your own, and leave me in this sea." ”

Everyone could hear what Joseph meant, for fear that one more person would be a burden to us, and the sacrifice of Bishop Albus touched him so much that he wanted to die after Bishop Albus.

When I heard this, I tried to dissuade me: "Joseph, look at me, have you forgotten what the Bishop said, you must accompany us back to the land." ”

Joseph's expression darkened, and he remembered Bishop Albus's voice and smile before his death, and tears could not help but flow down his eyes again.

While we were feeling sorry for ourselves, we suddenly heard the young baroness exclaim, "Look, what is that?" ”

We looked in the direction of the Baroness, and saw a small white dot approaching us on the horizon, and a ship approaching us with our full eye on the horizon.

The Baroness clasped her hands together and cried out desperately, "Help!! And waved his hands, hoping to get the other person's attention.

At this time Joseph and I joined in the shouting, but the boat was still very far away, and remained there.

I began to wonder if it was a mirage, and Joseph waved his hand to the sky with the last of his might, sending out a circle of golden glittering triangular light of the four tsubishi slashing moons that shone above the sea, adding to our shouts.

Finally caught the attention of the people on the ship, and gradually drove towards me.

We are very excited about some of the hope of being rescued, after all, people will not want to die until they are absolutely desperate, and the desire to survive is an instinct.

A small fishing boat came up to the lifeboat, and a middle-aged man and two young boys rushed out of it, watching our suffering, and quickly finding a rope to get us onto the fishing boat.

After some introduction, I learned that the middle-aged man and two young boys were the aborigines living in the nearby Isles of Scilly, went out to sea to fish, and rushed over when they found that the sky was shining with cash, the middle-aged man's name was Seamus Balaton, a typical sea man was about 40 years old, not tall and half a head shorter than me, with solid body muscles, brown and black hair on the head, M-shaped hair on the forehead, slightly fat on the face, but the facial skin was tight, the complexion was dark, and the gray-black beard extended from the sideburns to the chin, It reminds people of the impression that he is not only in good health, but also very rugged and bold.

The other two boys, both fifteen or sixteen years old, were Seamo's children, but their skin was fairer and softer, one was called Colin and the other was Andy.

Colin followed his father's brown and black hair, and Andy's short blonde hair followed his mother, and the two of them came back from school vacation to go to sea with their father when they met us.

The Baroness was obviously not a simple character, and in very pure English, she simply explained that we were killed because of the tsunami, and of course she could not say anything about the vampire encounter, and that her name was Bessie Sharla.

I remember very well the fact that the Baroness's name was the same as Alice's at the wedding on the cruise ship, and her name was Alice Bodge at that time, and apparently Joseph also noticed this at the wedding at that time, and exchanged a look of surprise with me, and I could see from Joseph's eyes that he was thinking that the Baroness was deliberately concealing her identity, while I was thinking in my mind whether the same name as Alice on the cruise ship was deliberately trying to attract my attention, or was Belcher Sharla her real name?

This was not the time to inquire about such a thing, and after Joseph and I reported their names, Seamus saw that Alice was still unconscious, and hurriedly told his eldest son, Colin, to turn the ship around and return to the Isles of Scilly.

While Alice was lying on the bed in the cabin of the ship, I saw a leaflet from a nearby travel magazine about the Isles of Scilly on a small cabinet at the bedside, with a picture of the setting sun and a description of the islands: "The Isles of Scilly have always been British waters. With an area of 21.5 square kilometres, there are 100 small reef-shaped islands located in the vast Atlantic Ocean, only 45 kilometres from the southwest corner of the United Kingdom, of which only 5 are inhabited, and the largest St Mary's Island is 15 square kilometres, located in the center of the island is Ayutthaya, on a high sandbar. There are 400 official beds in the Isles of Scilly, as well as a number of private hotels. The capital is Hugh. The climate is warm and humid, and the subtropical plants grow luxuriantly. The scenery is beautiful, and tourism is very prosperous in spring, summer and autumn. ”

At the same time as I watched, Beixue also secretly took a look, understanding the situation of the surrounding environment has always been the thing that our professional killers pay the most attention to, especially not very familiar with the new terrain, once the information can be seen, I will not miss the opportunity to understand, although Beixue is pretending to be inadvertent, but I still noticed this detail, her identity makes me feel very suspicious and mysterious.

Seamus knew that there were patients on the boat who were very worried, so he personally drove the fishing boat at full speed, and quickly came to the special mooring place for fishing boats in the Haikou of the archipelago.

I carried Alice to shore with Colin's help, and Joseph was overwhelmed by Andy and got out of the boat, and my heart was much stronger when my feet touched the ground.

Beixue followed behind Seamus, and Seamus said as she walked: "There is a medical clinic near here, I have already contacted me on my mobile phone on the ship, and a doctor will be sent, and we have a private hotel at home, you can rest there." ”

Along the way, Seamus stopped at a large house, which had only one floor but was large in size, with two bedrooms and a hall, which could be rented out during normal times, and it happened to be a family of travelers who left from here to be vacant, which came in handy.

As soon as I put Alice on the bed, the doctor on the island arrived just in time.

The doctor on the island said that Alice had a slight concussion in the head, prescribed some glucose and analgesics, and said something not to irritate the patient, and that she would get better after a little rest.

I looked at Alice lying on the bed, I didn't know what it was like, I could only hope that she would get better soon.

Joseph's face turned pale, and the doctor said that he was overexerted and needed to recuperate quietly.

From the open window of the room, I saw a scene, only to see Beixue open the half-dry and half-wet black evening dress, from the back of the hips to take out two stacks of money, although the evening dress is wet and close-fitting, but the back of the evening dress after the four lace protrusions, and then hidden very well, from the back is not to see any difference, besides, who can always pay attention to that part?

Beixue took out the money and gave it to Seamus, Seamus waved his hand and said that he would not accept anything, and later said that he would take the money down, and Beixue explained something to him, Seamus nodded, and discussed something with Beixue, since I was inside the house, I didn't know what they said outside the house at that time.

We didn't say much for two days, and I took great care of Alice and Joseph, and Becky had the money to go to the center to buy some clothes, including me and Joseph's, of course, and she took care of our diet.

Who the hell is Beixue? Judging from her speculation that she was ready for money, she must have been well prepared, did she expect a tsunami? Or was she preparing to leave the cruise ship for a long time?

I have a hunch in my heart that Beixue will have a showdown with us sooner or later, but the time has not yet come.

Alice's coma is not necessarily a bad thing, after all, she did not see the night full of murderous horrors on the cruise ship with her own eyes, and if the spirit of the cruise ship is unbearable, she must have schizophrenia or nervous breakdown, at least she should be happy and lucky not to wake up at that time.

There is no news about the baron who wants to be a vampire, will the female demon Jenya be buried at the bottom of the sea so easily?

The absence of Mary's news made me worry again, and I don't know what happened.

At this time, two slender beautiful legs appeared in front of me wearing black side blue striped leggings, interrupting my train of thought, and when I raised my head slightly, Bei Xue appeared in front of me wearing a light blue camisole, I was slightly stunned, and Bei Xue's voice was crisp: "It's time for breakfast." ”

Joseph had probably recovered well after these two days of rest, and since I had eaten with him every day, and Besher had been eating alone for the past two days, Joseph was already sitting in the hall smiling and waving to me, waiting there for breakfast.

At this time, Alice on the bed groaned, and woke up slowly, I turned my head and saw that Alice had opened her eyes, first of all, she saw me, and said, "What's wrong with me?" Mark, who are they? ”

I can't describe how happy I was in my heart, I put my arms around Alice's head and shed tears of joy, it was so good that she didn't lose her memory from the concussion, I said incoherently: "As long as you wake up, everything doesn't matter, oh, they're friends, do you feel anything abnormal in your body?" Are you hungry? ”

Beixue handed over a glass of warm water to the side, I glanced at Beixue gratefully and took it, and after Alice drank half a cup with the cup in her hand, she said to Beixue: "Thank you, I feel so hungry." ”

Joseph had moved over and was happy for me, and said, "My name is Joseph Abbot, and God bless your recovery. ”

Beixue took Alice's hand and said, "Just call me Beixue, let's go to the hall to eat." ”

Alice was weak, I picked Alice up, and came to the hall, only to see two plates of grilled cod on the table, a local baked potato cake cut into cubes, three large bottles of fresh milk, beef sausage with kelp cold dish, the food is indeed rich.

As the crowd sat around the table, I propped Alice into a chair, and Joseph, in his pre-meal habit of putting his hands together, would always say something Bible: "Thank you to the merciful Lord Almighty, whose generosity has given us delicious food, Amen." ”

Alice, who has lived in church since she was a child, naturally followed suit, "Amen." ”

Only me and Beixue watched the two of them pray, and I said urgently: "When is it, what are you praying for, hurry up and eat." Then I took a piece of cod meat with a fork and brought it to Alice's mouth.

Alice gave me a strange look, opened her little mouth and accepted the food I had delivered, and I poured milk and took scones.

Joseph and Becky looked at each other and smiled, and they each began to eat.

Beixue said to Alice while eating: "Wait a while, when your strength recovers, I will take you to the clinic in the city, you have been lying down for the past few days, although I have changed into clean clothes, but after all, it does not fit, buy some clothes and come back." ”

Joseph smiled a little bit these days and said, "Mark, if you hold food with your hands up like this, Alice can't eat it." ”

I realized that my posture was strange, and when Bess saw it, she first burst out laughing, laughter was contagious, and all three of them laughed.

I really cared so much about Alice, and Alice's clear eyes were full of love.

After the meal, Alice recovered a lot from physical strength to spirit, and Beixue insisted on taking Alice for a check-up, so that she could be helped to go, and she could also exercise her walking and moving muscles.

As soon as I heard that this was a good thing, I was about to accompany him, but Joseph quietly stopped me, saying that I had something to talk to me, and that I did have something to say to Joseph, and that I wanted to know something, so I stayed in the house.

Bessie didn't look out of the ordinary, but I felt like she knew as if she knew Joseph and I had been suspicious of her.

Seeing that I was still enthusiastic just now, but now I didn't mean to accompany her, Alice couldn't hide her disappointed look, and Beixue said on the side: "We girls want to buy clothes, it's inconvenient to ask boys to come along." ”

Watching Beixue help Alice walk out along the path in front of the house, watching Beixue carefully take care of Alice, it really reassures me a lot, which also has the intention of testing Beixue, in fact, if Beixue had a complex background that harmed our thoughts these days, we might have died a long time ago, and she is also the lifesaver of the three of us, Alice is really very worried when she accompanies her, and it is difficult for the three of us to move without Beixue, and it is only so to gamble.

Because no one is open and honest at this moment, who can guess what Beixue is thinking?

Joseph looked out the window at the soothing clear sky and said, "Mark, don't you want to know about the Holy Cross?" ”
