soul stone

Chapter 20 Today (4)

The deafening sound of the waves hit the skull like a chestnut, and the dizzy feeling of dizziness stirred the stomach like a salad.The body seemed to be rolling around, bumping into something like a baffle from time to time.Amy closed her eyes tightly, bit her lower lip tightly, her face was blue, her facial features were crowded together, and her high cheekbones were highlighted.Cold sweat oozes from the neck below the broad bean-sized ears.

"Wake up, it's just a nightmare! Wake up!" she ordered to herself.

When she opened her eyes and looked, she immediately got up on all fours, completely different from the sleepy state just now.The sight in front of her made her drowsy.The waves, high above the masts, crashed from the air on the old ship she was in with a roar like thunder, causing the planks to groan in harmony.There seems to be no ground under your feet, but a cloud that is constantly shaking.Gravity pulled her outward, and her whole body rolled like a barrel against the side of the boat.At the same time, a new wave hit, and Amy choked on several mouthfuls of seawater.She tensed all her muscles, trying to follow the slope of the deck.Years of life at sea let her figure out the way to deal with the storm - don't go against it, but follow it.

She finally stood up staggeringly, leaning left and right on the deck, her footsteps were chaotic like a drunken person wandering the streets late at night.However, it did not fall over or turn into a barrel, and it did move towards the cab a little bit.If this continues, the ship will sink!There must be a way!

When passing by the restaurant, Amy showed a painful expression and unconsciously pressed her left hand on her chest.The captain was gone, and neither was York, she knew that.Everyone is dead, killed by the heroic boy who hunted and killed thirty lava whales!

After waking up from the nightmare, it is a more cruel reality.But Amy never regretted it. Since she decided to wake up, there was no reason to fall asleep again.She wants to live, survive the storm, and escape from that man's clutches!

The cockpit was dark, and the pale dome light was like a dying patient, and the time it was off was far more than the time it was on.Amy carefully held the rudder that was blackened and shiny by the palm of her hand, looked up at the high waves not far away, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, her palms were sweating, as if a little carelessness It will open the door to another world.

"You know how to drive a boat?"

A deep and magnetic voice came from behind, with a careless tone, as if lying on a beach chair, drinking a cold and refreshing drink, looking at the sea that is connected with the blue sky.However, to Amy, it sounded like a greeting from an envoy from another world.

No time to be afraid!She closed her eyes tightly, gritted her teeth, and turned the rudder to the right with all her strength.The rudder shaft made a pleasant sound.The bow of the ship groaned and narrowly avoided the wave, and the edge of the wave brushed against the hull, and there was another vibration and roar.

Anyway, avoid it!Amy breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the source of the sound.

The thin boy was sitting against the wall, with one leg bent and the other straight, holding a book in his hand, with a consistent smile on his lips.The face is half-shaded so that it looks like the smiling face is cut down the middle, like a mask sold in a bazaar.

The young man turned over a page of the book and said silently: "Light and shadow. Hope and despair. Laughter and sorrow. Trust and loneliness."

"What did you... say?" Amy wanted to approach him to ask what happened, but found that her fear made her unable to move.

"This is the life record of this ship. Everything from birth to the present." The boy closed the book, leaned forward and stood up, approaching the girl who was driving the rudder.Amy retreated nervously, but there was nowhere to retreat.Her back was against the rudder.

"Are you peeking at the captain's logbook?" She avoided the boy's oppressive gaze and turned to face the sea.Compared with this person, the vicious Haiyang looks kind and friendly.She felt the boy standing behind her, releasing a ghostly chill.

"It can be read that he is full of affection for the ship and the companions on board. It's a pity that he couldn't finish the last part."

Even if you killed him, you still...

Amy choked suddenly and closed her eyes.There was a lump of hard air in my chest, as if I had swallowed a rain cloud whole.

"Be careful!" The young man suddenly shouted and grabbed the rudder.The force was so violent that Amy let go of her hand as if being shocked by an electric shock. She jumped aside and watched him operate the rudder to turn sharply to the left with wide eyes.The rudder whirred like a plugged-in fan, and looked like a solid disc to the naked eye.An ear-piercing roar sounded from the right rear side of the ship, as if there was no ground under your feet.Amy didn't stand still, hit her head against the wall, and stared at her.She hugged a pillar tightly to stabilize herself.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to sail."

The boy's voice seemed to grow louder.Amy looked up, only to feel that her eyes were black, and she almost fainted.The pillar I thought was holding was actually the leg of the massacre!

"Not only must we grasp the direction, but we must also find the right strength. The strength and steering ability of the hull itself must also be considered. In terms of the quality and lifespan of this ship, it may be difficult for a competent captain without rich experience."

Amy felt a lump of something surge up from the bottom of her heart and got stuck in her throat.Desperately suppressing her fear and anger, she asked, "First time... sailing?"

The boy didn't answer, he closed his eyes, let go of his hands from the rudder, and dropped them to his sides.

What is this for?Amy got up tremblingly, and suddenly found that the light had dimmed.Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of something on the bow of the ship, her face turned pale, and she bowed forward like a cat with frayed fur, and turned the rudder with all her strength.The powerful reaction force threw her aside.Amy slumped on the ground, panting heavily, her forehead and neck drenched with sweat.Her eyes widened.

The young man standing quietly before the rudder slowly opened his eyes as if enjoying the most beautiful scenery in the world, and raised his arms one high and one low, making a conductor pose that she had only seen in pictures.In the next second, both arms swung down like lightning, and at the moment of crossing, an unprecedented huge wave pressed towards the cab.Yes, she tried her best, but she didn't escape.In the roar that overwhelmed all other sounds, Amy felt that this moment seemed to extend infinitely, slow down, and almost stand still.She saw the glass crumble under the pressure of the black waves, and sprinkle the boy like winter snow.Sea water poured into the room, engulfed the boy's slender body, and smashed on the fragile deck.The deck creaked and split, some of the water rushed below and some bounced toward her.

At this moment, Amy blinked, and the time around her began to flow again.She struggled to turn around, but was caught by the waves and dragged into the water.Holding her breath, she began to swim, keeping her head out of the water.Most of the ship has been flooded, and it is only a matter of time before it sinks.Amy opened her mouth wide, took a big breath, and dived into the water again.Swimming as easy as a fish, she made her way through the broken walls to the kitchen to find the bacon, cheese, and crackers that had been stored in the cupboard floating around in the sea.Amy held the biscuits and bacon that were closer to her in her arms, and swam out on the wall.

When I came to the deck, I found that most of the whole ship had sunk underwater, and only one of the three lifesaving boats emerged from the water.She emerged from the water, gasped, and ran up the sloping deck to the stern, leaning over the side of the ship and looking down.She gasped—there was no lifeboat!

Biscuits soaked in seawater are extra heavy.Amy bit her lip and threw the can of biscuits into the ocean desperately, as if it would hurt the ocean.The iron can was rolled up by the waves and disappeared without a trace.She lay limp on the ground, holding on to the side of the boat, watching the water climb up along the deck.The surrounding sea level is also rising.No, it's not the sea that's rising, it's the ship that's sinking.Before long, it will be completely overwhelmed by the wrath of Poseidon, with its crew who have accompanied it all its life, and the executioner who ended its life.

Amy raised her face, let the sea breeze mixed with the foam of the waves hit her face, closed her eyes, and began to pray with her palms together.Sea God never spared the murderer!As for herself, she has lost the meaning of living.What is carried on this ship is her everything.Poseidon will soon take everything into its watery palace.At that time, she will hold the wreckage of the ship destroyed by the wind and rain, floating in the vast sea, imagining the scene of feasting in the palace of flowing water.There are sailors who are in the same boat, an old captain who takes care of her like a father, and her beloved fiancé, York.York's scowling face came to mind.Amy opened her mouth slightly, and looked towards a point in the distance, as if being sucked in by a low black cloud.Dear York!You're right, he's a demon, he killed you, he killed everyone.How foolish and ridiculous I am, bewildered by his appearance!

At this moment, as if deliberately trying to wake her up, another side wave hit.Amy choked on a few sips, blinked, and looked down.The can of bacon was still tightly held in his arms.Although consciousness has given up, the body is still desperately trying to survive.Reflexively, Amy scrambled and ran to the storage room.There is fresh water there!

Sea God is just, but not merciful.The time of praying just now has exhausted her last little chance of survival.In the storm, the "Lookout" was like an old man who had experienced wind and frost, finally showing his weakened true colors, moaning and ushering in the extinguishment of the candle of life.Rolling waves engulfed the hull.Amy was out of breath, holding the food can tightly with her left hand, and swam out of the water with her right hand alone, panting on a piece of broken wood.She put the bacon on the board, clasped her hands on the edge of the board, and looked around.Haixia seems to be beating a huge heart, while in Haixia, everything she used to be is gone.

Suddenly, she widened her eyes.

On the other side of the flowing hills, a small boat was looming in the waves, but it was definitely the lifeboat that had disappeared.The boat was getting closer and closer, and the fresh water tank that was too late to take was also on it, plus a large bag of whale skull fragments, which accounted for almost two-thirds of the boat.closer.She can see the people above.She opened her mouth and made the mouth shape of ah, but she couldn't make a sound.

That demon, who was supposed to be justly judged by the sea god, turned into an angel at this moment, an angel specially sent by heaven to save her.

"Wei..." Amy squeezed out a voice from her throat, "Villar, you..."

"Nice to meet, my name is Kuroro." He smiled and held out his hand.
