Chapter 17: The Butterfly Effect

Hearing Lisa say that seemed to inspire both of us. I thought it was just a coincidence that my grandfather and the old ghost grandfather's names were together. Unexpectedly, even Duoduo's grandfather and Lisa's grandmother were also involved. There must be some secret behind this.

A few of us froze in place, not knowing what to say or where to start. In order to clear my mind, I asked Duoduo to translate the contents of the notes to me completely. See if you can find a lot of connections from it, even if it's just a hint.

Duoduo shook his head and said, "Except for those lists, other contents can only be imagined and guessed. The basic thing can still be known: the gang of people who died were first used, and then abandoned. Then, they were tortured and mutilated, and the murderers were those from our grandfather's generation. ”

When I heard this, I felt a lot of questions: Is there any intersection between our ancestors? No way? Everyone is from Tiannan and Haibei, how can there be an intersection? If there is a real intersection, will there be any connection between them?

Originally, none of us thought about it, but after these few events, there was also Edward's confession before. It seems that there is some kind of connection between our ancestors. It's just that no one knows about this connection so far, or the older generation knows about it, and they just keep their mouths shut.

I suddenly felt that from the disappearance of Toto's archaeological internship to my coming to the United States to look for her, to the Savannah Adventure and the mysterious death of my aunt and this ghost island in the Caribbean. It's not the kind of coincidence that appears on the surface, and even I think it's a conspiracy. So I asked everyone to retell the story of their ancestors to see if there was anything in common. Because, this is the easiest breakthrough to start.

First of all, my grandfather used to be a member of the scientific expedition team and came to the United States, but then I don't know why he returned to China. Since then, he has retired from the rivers and lakes, never asked about the world again, and never mentioned the previous things. Duoduo's grandfather, who was killed in a government accident, has nothing to say. The old ghost's grandfather was a hermit and was relatively proficient in history. And Lisa's grandmother, who is highly educated, is engaged in research, and travels around the world.

After everyone finished talking like this, they found that they had nothing in common, let alone any internal connection. However, on this notebook, the names of our ancestors are clearly written. To say that it is apocryphal, that is not realistic. This is not a novel, but a bloody blood book.

If we really want to find a connection, it's just a few of us. In other words, they have a subtle influence on us. However, this speculation is a bit too far-fetched.

While everyone was puzzled, the ship's engine suddenly stopped.

Several of us were shocked, why did we suddenly stop? What could be the case? Otherwise, Dickens would never have stopped lightly. Sherlock Holmes once said, "Conjecture is the most unreliable habit!" "Instead of guessing, it's better to go out and find out.

Without thinking much about it, the four of them hurriedly walked towards Dickens. Ask him what the hell happened? Dickens shook his head helplessly and said, "After walking for so long, he is still in the same place!" ”

"How so?" I was amazed and asked, "Aren't you following the compass and going back at full speed?" How can it still be in place? ”

Dickens shook his head helplessly and handed me the compass. The four of us gathered around, and we were dumbfounded by what we saw: the compass was like a loose clockwork, and the hands were turning in circles without stopping. At last it stopped, but the pointer that usually pointed to the north now pointed to the south.

In other words, the direction is completely opposite. Due to the poor vision after dark, we sailed in the exact opposite direction. Instead of approaching Savannah, it's getting farther and farther away! He got much closer to the "Eye of Death" in the terrible Bermuda Triangle.

When you encounter the current situation, you can just rush back regardless of it. Dickens wanted to do so, but he couldn't figure out the direction. Without any references, it is impossible to discern the direction at all, let alone east, west, north and south.

The result was like a bolt from the blue for a few of us. The feeling in my heart was like the sky falling, and I was suddenly blinded. It is no exaggeration to say that a hanging heart sank to the bottom of the sea at once.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly struck the sky, followed by a thunderclap. The frightened crowd was very soulful, as if most of their lives had been chopped off. Duoduo was so shocked that he quickly pulled my arm and leaned tightly into my arms.

When I looked up at the sky, I saw black clouds pressing down. In the middle of the thick clouds, lightning flashed again and again. It's like the scene where Sun Wukong is going to appear, and the wind is surging.

Lisa was naturally scared enough to rush in front of me. However, when he saw that Duoduo was already leaning on me, he hurriedly interrupted and pretended not to be afraid. This qiē was in our eyes, and I hurriedly glanced at the old ghost. Signal to him, this is the best moment for "heroes to save beauty".

Of course, the old ghost understood, so he hurriedly leaned over Lisa. However, Lisa didn't like to see the body that was sent over. It's just that I'd rather hang myself like this than succumb to the obscenity of the old ghost.

At this time, I saw a flash of white light in front of me! The sky that was originally dark was illuminated as day.

In the distance, several lightning bolts connected the sea and the sky. This scene is spectacular, gorgeous, dreamy and terrifying. It's like in a magical world, where demons are born; It's like in mythology, where the gods are manifest.

"Look, it's like God is about to manifest himself!"

At this time, Lisa suddenly came up with such a sentence, which surprised everyone present. Maybe in Lisa's eyes, although this is a danger, it is still no match for the rare sight**.

Seeing such a scene, Dickens wanted to cry without tears. What I was most afraid of what would happen happened after all. As I said, "It's a blessing not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided", what should come will come after all.

Dickens could not be calm, and hurriedly beckoned me and the old ghost: "You two, hurry up and put away the sails." In case of a storm, let the sails drive the hull. ”

He turned to Duoduo and Lisa, "You two, hurry up and close all the doors and windows on the ship." Make sure that when a storm comes, ensure that the cabin is protected from rain and seawater. ”

Dickens finally said, "When you have made a qiē, go to the cabin and find a life jacket to put on." ”

We had to do what we were told, and we quickly split up. The old ghost and I hurriedly ran under the mast, pulled the reeling rope, and put the sail away. Duoduo and Lisa are also running back and forth, up and down, running around and busy. Shut up all the places on the boat that are open to the open.

Dickens, on the other hand, alone did not know what he was up to. But I know he must have something to prepare. The four of us, after finishing our own business, immediately found a life jacket for each of us and put it on our bodies. Before and after, we found seven high-quality life jackets. I have to admire my aunt, she is really thoughtful! Even this is ready for us.

The reason why there are seven pieces is estimated to be counted by Tom and Jerry. However, my aunt didn't know that they had both been killed. I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly took out one and prepared it for Dickens to wear.

As soon as we stepped out of the cabin, we bumped into Dickens, who was already ready. He took the life jacket I handed over and told everyone, "I believe everyone still remembers the last shipwreck!" This time, be sure to learn the lessons of last time and always be prepared. What if ......"

Dickens stopped talking, as if expressing his helplessness at his unlucky words. But in the face of life and death, these superstitious details are no longer emphasized. And he said, "What if...... I mean, suppose, our ship is submerged. Before entering the water, you should exert all your strength and take a full breath. If you can float up along the way, grab on to something buoyant around you. ”

We nodded in understanding, and we were fully armed. I was reluctant to put it down and carried it on my back. Just as I was about to ask Dickens if he wanted to bring a weapon, the old ghost suddenly asked, "Uncle, what about our gold?" ”

When I heard this, I was angry and scolded: "What a Grande (in a foreign masterpiece, a money-hungry person)!" When is it still thinking about gold? Let's save your life first, boy! ”

When the old ghost heard me say this, he seemed to be unconvinced, and he seemed to disagree with what I said. "What's wrong with Grande?" Of course, people have to care about money when they live. Life is inseparable from money! You are noble, then you give me your share! ”

Just when I was about to refute the old ghost again, Duoduo suddenly said, "Don't make noise, you see, why is it so quiet all of a sudden?" ”

When everyone heard this, they saw that the surroundings really became calm. Except for the black clouds, there was no sound at all, and even the sea was calm. This makes us a little confused, and Dickens is also a second monk - scratching our heads.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ahh At this time, the old ghost suddenly couldn't help but sneeze!

After a while, I suddenly saw that on the sea in the distance ahead, the black clouds gradually converged and swirled, slowly forming a "black pillar" that went straight to the sky and the earth - like a tornado! One word popped into my head – the butterfly effect.

The so-called "butterfly effect" is most commonly described as: "A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later." ”

The reason for this is that the movement of the butterfly's wings causes changes in the air system around it and creates a weak air current. The generation of weak air currents will cause corresponding changes in the surrounding air or other systems, which will cause a chain reaction, and eventually lead to great changes in other systems. It's called chaosology.

The old ghost just sneezed, and in this mysterious magnetic environment, it is very likely to cause a "butterfly effect".
