Chapter 7: The Wrath of the Sea Gods

In the morning, Burriman and Merlin put on their bags and walked along the beach along the shoreline, their footprints like a small tail that faded into obscurity as the waves washed away.

"Why do you want to get up so early......" Merlin followed behind Berryman, stretching and her eyes listless.

"Let's go faster, it's almost late, if I hadn't waited for you to put on makeup, I would have arrived a long time ago." Berryman quickened his pace.

Fortunately, they arrived at the dock at the appointed time, and Ax was already waiting for them.

"I've kept you waiting." Berryman Road.

"Come with me, the ship is here." Ax led them to the ship.

After a while they stopped in front of a white pleasure boat.

This white boat is the size of half a basketball court, with casual tables and chairs on the deck, clean bedrooms in the cabin, refrigerator and galley, and a cockpit on the second floor.

"Wow! Pretty cool boat. Like a playful child, Merlin eagerly boarded the ship, with Berryman close behind.

"Hahaha, my ship is luxurious, are you ready to set sail?" Akers laughed as he untied the rope and got on board.

After the sound of an engine, the ship slowly left the dock and headed for the sea.

The deep blue sea is full of waves, and the sea is endless, and you can see the shadow of a ship in the distance from time to time. The seagull swooped into the sea, leaving the surface with a fish in its mouth, and the salty breeze blew in its face, like a silky veil caressing its face.

But there is a person who is not in the mood to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

"Vomit......" Merlin leaned on the railing and vomited.

Berryman patted her on the back, unscrewed the cap of the water bottle, and said, "Drink some water."

Merlin took the water and drank it "gurgling", her face pale and looking dying.

"It's not a good idea for you to come with me." Berryman Road.

"You ...... mind," Merlin glared at him, and lay down on the deck with her eyes closed.

Berryman walked to the bow of the boat, picked up a cigarette, and asked in a loud voice, "How long will it take to get to Grey Island?"

"This time tomorrow will come." Akes' voice came from the cockpit upstairs.

Berryman walked to the cockpit and said, "Isn't it boring to sail here alone?"

"Who would be bored in such a view?" Akers Road.

"I've always wondered, you said that the curse of Gray Mu Island, will it happen to us?" Berryman Road.

"Truth be told, every time I carry people to the island, I encounter a storm." Ax is an understatement.

"This ......," Berryman asked, frowning, "what should you do?"

"There's no way." Akers Road.

Berryman's eyes widened. Incredulously, he said, "Are you serious?"

"A small boat like this is basically dead in a storm at sea. If you're scared, it's too late to turn around. But the ticket money can't be refunded! ”

Berry Man froze, the other party was right, unless it was an aircraft carrier, any ship in the event of a storm could only ask for more blessings.

If you give up the clue of Gray Mu Island, then it is very likely that you will not be able to learn the truth about the disappearance.

If they give up this time for the time being, who will dare to take them to the island the next time they come?

Even if there were, it would not be inevitable that there would be storms at sea. Any voyage is a risk unless you take an aircraft carrier, but is it really possible to take an aircraft carrier?

"If you're afraid of death, you can't do a big deal, so move on." Berryman relented, then returned to the deck.

"Sherlock Holmes, I have something to say to you."

Mei Lin lay on the deck and said forcefully, "Say it."

"You go back."

When Mei Lin heard this, she hurriedly stood up with her hands on the railing and said, "What do you mean?"

"You'd better go back, there may be a storm at sea at any time during the voyage, and I won't be able to take care of you at that time." Burriman said.

"Do I look like I need your protection?" Merlin's willow eyebrows gradually rose.

"It's a matter of life, not kidding you! I'll ask Axes to contact the rescue ship to pick you up later. ”

"I'm not kidding you! I'm not going back! Merlin suddenly covered her mouth and quickly vomited towards the sea.

"You're seasick like this, how can you protect yourself?" Berryman frowned, then handed her a bottle of water.

"Pop" Merlin shook her hand violently and knocked the water bottle into the sea.

"You don't care if I live or die!" Merlin turned and leaned on the railing to the end of the bed.

Akers walked down and saw this scene just in time, "Once I had a woman who was even more difficult to serve than yours!" Ha ha! ”

"Don't guess, we're just friends." Burriman then asked curiously, "Is it okay for no one to be in the cockpit?"

Akers pointed overhead, looking in the direction he was pointing, and at some point, the white sails were raised on the mast and the sound of the engine stopped.

"As long as the wind is right, you won't deviate from the course and you can save some fuel."

Berryman nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "Akers, you are from the Gray Mu Island, right, what is life like on the island?"

"Because of the curse, no one came. The island was almost isolated, there was no electricity, and the weather was so hot that one man cried and asked me to take him back before he had been a day. ”

"And what about the inhabitants of the island? Are there any different customs? ”

"The inhabitants of the island, like me, are of the Mork ethnicity, and apart from the language barrier, we get along very well."

"There are a lot of differences in customs, I'll stay on the island for a few days for now, and I'll tell you when the time comes, but I want to warn you of one thing."

"What is it?"

"If it's okay at night, don't go out." Akers Road.

"Why?"

"In addition to the life of the Mork people, there are many dangerous animals on the island, and there are countless poisonous species, especially at night, when they all start to come alive."

The danger on the island is even higher than expected, and Brimand can't help but feel excited.

Night falls, and the night sky is dotted with stars.

It was one o'clock in the morning, and everyone was so nervous that they couldn't get sleepy, and the wind was gradually getting stronger, blowing their clothes off.

"Woo woo ......" A faint muffled thunder came from afar like a war drum.

Berryman looked up and saw lightning dancing in the distant sky.

"Huh!"

A blinding light breaks through the darkness and turns night into day!

"Boom—"

A deafening thunderclap struck the eardrums.

"Whoa-" The downpour fell from the sky, firing like a machine gun on the ship.

Akes' face changed, "The storm is coming!" Fast into the cabin! ”

The three of them hurriedly ran into the cabin to take shelter from the rain, and many of their clothes were soaked.

"Get ready, hold on to the handle! The storm is coming! Ax's eyes were full of solemnity, and he hurriedly closed the hatch.

The walls in the cabin were nailed with many handles, which were prepared to meet the storm.

The three of them found their own handles in the cabin and held on firmly, the only thing they could do in the face of the storm.

"Boom~" The sound of the wind was gradually replaced by rolling thunder, day and night were constantly alternating outside, and the torrential rain was ruthlessly hitting the window, full of water splashes, and it was almost impossible to see the situation outside the window.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the sea is churning like boiling water.

The sea invaded through the crack in the door, and the whole ship kept shaking, and the contents of the cabin fell to the ground one by one, making a "ping-pong" sound, and even the table fell to the ground.

"Hold on!" Ax shouted at the top of his lungs.

Berryman grasped the handle on the wall firmly, he only felt that the sky was spinning, the whole floor was shaking, and he could not stand at all, so he had to crouch down and lower his center of gravity.

A huge wave is coming from the front!

With a "snap", the cruise ship was lifted directly into the air at a height of ten meters!

Berry Man found that all the debris had floated to the ceiling, including himself, and everyone was floating as if they were in a space capsule.

After a loud bang, the flying boat landed on the surface of the sea, splashing high waves.

Everyone in the cabin fell from mid-air, and if it wasn't for Berryman's grip on the handle, he would have hurt him.

But the petite and fragile Merlin suffered, and when the boat just fell, she fell face to the ground, nosebleeds, and was rolling to the ground screaming.

"Sherlock Holmes! Grab the handle! Berry Man hurriedly shouted.

Merlin staggered up from the floor and reached out to grab the handle on the wall.

"Bang!" Another big wave is coming!

There was a slam on the floor, and the whole ship tilted 45 degrees to the left as if it had been hit by a truck!

Berryman was at the bottom of the slope, and a chair fell from a high place and smashed it at him!

With his back against the wall, Berryman lifted his legs and kicked the fallen chair to the other side.

However, in addition to the chair that fell, there was Merlin!

"Ahh

"Thank you......" Merlin's face flushed, and she couldn't tell if it was a shy color or a slimy nosebleed.

"Bang!" Another big wave is coming!

The right hatch of the cabin was shaken open, and the water rushed in, drowning everyone's knees.

The wind blew through the hatch, wetting their clothes with raindrops.

After this huge wave, the boat tilted sharply to the right, as if on a seesaw, and the position of Berryman and Merlin changed from the bottom to the highest.

They hang on to the handles, and if they accidentally let go of their hands at this point, they will fall out of the cabin!

"Hold me tight! Don't let go! Berryman cried out through gritted teeth, his hands clutching the handle above his head.

However.

The boat shuddered, and Merlin shook off Berryman's body as if on a slide, sliding out of the hatch with the water in the cabin!

"Berryman!" Merlene's cries for help were drowned out by rolling thunder, and she scrambled to grab the railing on the deck and nearly fell into the sea.

"Hold on! I'm here to save you! Burriman let go of his hand and slid down the wet floor.

But halfway through the slide, the boat shook again, and the sloping floor returned to its original state.

Berryman staggered to his feet, and when he looked up, Merlin was gone!

"Sherlock Holmes!" His face changed, and he stumbled out of the hatch against the wind.

"Don't go out! It's dangerous out there! Akers hurriedly shouted.

But Berryman didn't seem to hear him, and he walked out of the hatch with difficulty.

The rain continued to hit him, and the cold through the bones permeated his body, and the vision in his eyes was blurred by the water.

Holding on to the railing with one hand and the other to his brow to cover the rain, he anxiously made his way to the deck.

But there were only a few fish on the deck that had been washed up by the waves, and nothing else.

"Sherlock Holmes!" Berryman shouted.

"Berryman—" Merlin's cry for help came from behind him.

He looked back and could see a pair of hands hanging behind the railing at the stern of the boat.

"Hold on—" Berryman leaned on the railing and walked towards the wind.

The distance between them was only about ten meters, but it allowed Berryman to walk for a long time, and after falling and getting up again and again, he finally reached the aft railing.

I saw Merlin hanging on the railing, her body cold and stiff, and she couldn't stop shivering. And beneath her feet was the rough sea like an abyss.

"Don't let go!" Berry gritted his teeth and slowly pulled Merlin up from under the railing.

Good thing he's here! Merlin saw hope, her lips pursed, and she kept sobbing.

"Bang!" Big waves crash into a pleasure boat!

Berryman's whole body was bounced high, and he fell into the furious deep sea with Merlin.

The sea was dark, and they couldn't see their fingers, and the cold water surrounded them.

Briman clung to Merlin's hand, and they drifted through the rushing water, unable to move at all.

Soon he began to lose his breath, and the sea water poured into his mouth, even in his ears and nose.

Gradually, his consciousness began to weaken, as if someone slowly turned off the volume, the thunder on the water, and the sound of the water all stopped abruptly, and even the thoughts in his mind disappeared.

The noisy world suddenly became quiet.

He had never felt so peaceful.
