Chapter 18 Heavy Rain
The rain was still falling, roaring and raging like a madman, accompanied by lightning that was bound to strike to death all that was evil.
The window was not closed, and the wind and rain that rushed in extinguished all the lights in the hall, and the ground was wet.
The second floor was flooded the most severely. All the windows on one side were wide open. Pale white lightning struck, making it as bright as day. The long corridor was illuminated by lightning at irregular intervals, and the light was enough to see the end at a glance.
A black dot seemed to be moving at the end.
The rainstorm showed no signs of stopping, so the fleeing outsiders had no choice but to stay here to avoid being devoured by the hungry natives.
The nameplate hanging on the door had been taken down, and even the door looked different. The five people who couldn't find the room opened a door at random and closed it before lightning illuminated the corridor.
Slow and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded, accompanied by a heavy knock on the door:
"Can you give me shelter from the rain?"
Lightning strikes again!
The room was very small, even smaller than a storage room, and could barely accommodate five people.
Even in such a small room, there are photos of all sizes .
The brief brightness was enough for everyone to see the photo above clearly.
Most of the photos above have been re-glued, and the torn milky white glue marks are very obvious on these black and white photos.
Crazy, bloody, digital.
Even with these traces, the photos posted are still shocking. All the photos are about mermaids: intact full-body photos of mermaids; charts and graphs recording various data; fish tails from various angles; mermaids that have mutated due to experiments.
The pictures above show the sorrow of the mermaids nakedly, and on the wall filled with pictures, on the yellowed paper pierced by nails, there is a word written:
"draumur".
The handwriting is neat and vertical, flowing like water, and the force is so strong that it can be seen through the paper, with a determination that cannot be ignored.
The paper was taped to the back of the door, facing Chu Li. She reached out and poked Jiang Yu: "Did you see that? That word."
Jiang Yu: "Yes, I saw it."
The knock on the door was getting closer, and the voice also came closer. Miao Zhen saw a photo on the wall:
In the upper part of the photo, in the starry night, purple-red light bands are hanging in a winding manner, and the mysterious and dazzling aurora is huge and dazzling, and the beauty is so beautiful that you don’t know where it ends;
The lower part is the upper half of a middle-aged man's face, with deep and tired eyes staring at the camera, and behind him is the sea surface eroded by darkness. The aurora seems to fall into the sea, and what is striking is that a semicircular arc is jumping up from the sea surface, with a human body and a fish tail.
Obviously, this photo was taken accidentally by the man while he was taking a selfie of the beautiful scenery.
This is the only color photo on the four walls, and it is also the only photo that is the clearest and most complete of all the photos.
The moment there was a knock on the door, Miao Zhen tore off the color photo and hid it quietly.
“Boom boom boom—”
"Can you give me shelter from the rain?"
The monster outside the door did not knock three times and leave when no one answered as it did before. Instead, it kept knocking on the door, and the vibration was transmitted to everyone.
Water seeped in through the crack in the door.
No one dared to open the door.
Xiang Liangyu looked at the two identical mermaids in front of him, and a string in his mind suddenly broke.
She was brought out of the basement by Quan Shengyan, and the two fish floated in the raging waves, and were occasionally covered and submerged by the terrifying waves. The violent storm hit the water surface, creating rapid and gorgeous splashes of water.
Xiang Liangyu felt like she was out of her mind, otherwise how could she see a hint of tension in the eyes of these two mermaids.
On his right hand, the mermaid adorned with gold, silver and jewels did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment from being hit by the waves. Xiang Liangyu even felt that all the waves seemed to be afraid of him, and the slender white five fingers kept shrinking around his wrist.
If I took his hand away, there would definitely be very obvious red marks on my wrist.
On his left hand, the scarred merman exudes a completely different temperament, arrogant and domineering. He put all his hair behind his head, looking a bit lazy, but hiding an edge that is very easy to ignore.
At this moment, it was swaying with the waves, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a poisonous snake were staring at Xiang Liangyu, exuding a hint of danger and dissatisfaction.
The force he used was not great, and Xiang Liangyu struggled better, but he was very resilient.
The two people seemed to be welded to her hands and could not break free no matter how hard they struggled.
Xiang Liangyu, sandwiched between two people, was in a very miserable state. She decided to jump into the sea and drown.
Xiang Liangyu will call the mermaid with scars all over her body and a platinum fish tail Quan Er.
When Xiang Liangyu buried her head in the sea, she felt her neck tighten, and the next second, she was pulled out.
Quan Er grabbed her by the back of the neck and tapped her intermittently: "Poor little girl, why are you suddenly so depressed?"
The two faces were identical, but the temperaments they exuded were completely different. Xiang Liangyu had a bad feeling, and she struggled: "Let me go, I want to get ashore!"
The side effects brought by her identity as the island owner were infinitely magnified in the sea water. She felt suffocated and scared. The boundless sea water seemed like a prison where time disappeared. Once she fell, there would be no recovery.
Quan Shengyan: "Let her go."
Quan Er: "Who are you?"
Xiang Liangyu was furious. She struggled to break free from Quan Er and hugged Quan Shengyan's neck: "Little Mermaid, take me ashore!"
Quan Shengyan took Xiang Liangyu and glanced at Quan Er. When Xiang Liangyu couldn't see, Quan Shengyan seemed like a different person. He locked Xiang Liangyu to his chest, and his pair of proud black eyes stared at Quan Er calmly with irresistible majesty.
At this moment, the cruelty and evil hidden deep in the mermaid's nature gradually emerged as they looked at each other.
In a flash, lightning became the whistle that broke the deadlock, and Quan Er suddenly pounced towards Quan Shengyan.
A fierce wave suddenly rose from the ground and knocked Quan Er down with great momentum.
Quan Shengyan held Xiang Liangyu's head, resting his chin on her shoulder, leaving only a pair of eyes darker than the night.
Fierce, malicious, warning.
When Quan Er struggled out of the waterspout and surfaced, the wounds on his body opened again. The surrounding sea water had been dyed red, and the splashes of water stirred up by the heavy rain were crimson.
He only saw Quan Shengyan's back gradually disappearing into the distance.
The golden fish tail is so dazzling regardless of day or night.
Lightning streaked across the night sky again. In the thick fog, he looked up for a moment, then sank into the sea.
As soon as Xiang Liangyu's feet touched the ground, he quickly crawled out, sat down on the ground and gasped for breath.
Just like last time, Quan Shengyan was suspended on the sea surface, staring at him quietly.
Xiang Liangyu was drenched by the merciless rain and could hardly open his eyes.
"Island owner, island owner."
A faint call came from afar. Xiang Liangyu looked back and saw a dim lamp moving at a constant speed in the jungle.
The Aboriginals came.
"My name is Quan Shengyan." Xiang Liangyu turned around and saw Quan Shengyan had already moved away from the coast, with his tail bent at his side, occasionally slapping the sea surface. "If you want, you can try to call my name."
"Or, touch my scales."
Xiang Liangyu neither nodded nor shook his head, just stared at him calmly until another pale bolt of lightning struck , and this time, it struck straight towards the sea.
Quan Shengyan's body was visibly stiff for a moment.
Another mermaid appeared on the surging and roaring sea. The heavy rain blinded everyone’s eyes, and only a hint of color could be seen - a platinum-colored fish tail.
Before Xiang Liangyu could see clearly, the rain suddenly stopped.
When she looked up and saw the dark thing above her head, she realized that it was not that the rain had stopped, but that the natives had held an umbrella over her head.
The natives were sweating profusely. "Master, please forgive its disrespect. We will make up for it. But Master, it is too dangerous on a rainy night. Moreover, there are these...they are here. Let's go back quickly."
Obviously, "it" refers to the Doctor.
Xiang Liangyu retracted his gaze and continued to look at the sea. Although he could no longer see the two mermaids, the sea was more turbulent than ever before and the lightning was increasingly frequent, all of which showed that the undercurrent was surging on the seabed.
She asked: "What crime did they commit and why are they called criminals?"
