Chapter 420 Pollution
The Myster Islands are a chain of islands like pearls.
In addition to the biggest pearl, Manke Port, there is another hidden pearl - the island where the Secret Keeper's headquarters is located, the Unnamed Island!
After saying goodbye to Vidali, Fang Xian and Eric found the local receptionist of the Secret Keeper Agency, and boarded a small ferry with another group of new investigators who had arrived, preparing to go to the Unnamed Island for training.
There were many novice investigators traveling with him, but most of them were silent and did not move around much.
Obviously, they all knew that curiosity and knowing too much were the beginning of trouble, especially for those supernatural forces that could spread pollution just by leaving information.
Fang Xian and Eric seemed somewhat out of place, like aliens.
"That island... After I reported it, the keeper sent investigators to check it out. There is no island in that sea area as we described..."
Eric told the information he had obtained with a complicated expression.
"With the power of those deep-sea clans, it's a simple matter to hide an island..." Fang Xian didn't care: "But if they don't appear again, it will become very difficult to wipe them out..."
In fact, he didn't want to wipe it out.
To him, the scaled people were nothing more than cannon fodder, and a large number of them could be killed with just a wave of his hand.
But the elders of the deep sea, or the ancients of the abyss are different. They are superior creatures similar to Black Tai Sui.
Not to mention, they also worship the being that sleeps at the bottom of the deep sea.
"Yes, just like our Unnamed Island."
Eric sighed and looked at the sea fog ahead: "We are almost there..."
Fang Xian looked up and saw the outline of an island looming in the thin mist, and finally became completely solid.
"Interesting. An isolated island completely hidden by a mysterious power? Isn't the Secret Keeper a representative of restrained use of power? So... the abnormality of this island is not caused by the Secret Keeper. Instead, they set up the headquarters here to guard something?"
A guess emerged in Fang Xian's mind.
The ferry 's steam engine roared as it docked at a concrete pier.
When the ship docked, the outer mist disappeared.
If you look from the sea, you will find that there is nothing where the island was originally, and everything before is like a mirage.
This is the headquarters of the Secret Keeper—the Unnamed Island, a special area that has never appeared on the map!
…
Meanwhile, in Port Mank.
"Finally... it came out."
In the dark room, Vidali looked at a photo with a smile on her face.
This is the mural she took of the spooky island.
Although the camera was broken, she managed to salvage the film and was now developing it.
This was an oversight that even Eric had not expected, and Vidali had a great talent for hiding things, and she managed to conceal it from subsequent searches.
Because there were too many tourists who saw abnormalities at that time, they could not handle them one by one, and because of the frequent supernatural cases in recent years, the so-called "hypnotic memory" therapy has gradually been abandoned. Confidentiality agreements have become the mainstream.
Anyway, the abnormalities on the island have not yet been fully revealed.
Although the tourists saw something, they did not understand what they really saw.
That was just an island floating above the terrifying sea, and there were huge mountains ten or a hundred times larger below!
"Although it cannot be published directly due to the confidentiality agreement, we can still study it and look for related things... This mural... can at least be collected as a commemoration of this trip. Unfortunately, Eric and Roca didn't leave any contact information!"
Vidaly looked at the photo, thinking angrily.
Crash!
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of waves in her ears.
"The Little Mermaid... The Little Mermaid..."
A faint sound of waves seemed to be mixed with a weak call.
"ah!"
Vidali was startled and the photo in her hand fell to the ground.
She suddenly understood something.
The terror on that small island did not completely disappear just because we left. It has always been there, and will always exist!
At this time, it found me.
"Are you afraid? Why are you afraid?" The voice was a little weak, but Vidaly could still hear it clearly: "You were born a daughter of the sea, and you have the blood of us scale people in your body..."
Vidaly was stunned.
She thought of her grandmother, who seemed to be from the seaside and was said to be a good diver.
"No, no, this is crazy... I have the blood of the sea? I will go find the official people, they will definitely be able to save me." Vidali encouraged herself and was about to go out to find those who signed the confidentiality agreement for her.
"Ignorance! They will think you are dangerous, they will be afraid of you, and seal your power... power beyond human!" The voice in the sea continued: "Do you think your two friends are good to you? No! They are deceiving you! They are hiding things from you! They have supernatural powers, but they have not shown them to you. They sit back and watch the death of ordinary people..."
"No..." Vidaly held her head, her voice filled with tears.
She thought again of the dead Luca and the rotting corpse covered with scales.
Although the voice in the sea was weak, it seemed to be able to see into her heart and all her weaknesses.
"You like adventure and travel. This is your nature. Why should you suppress your nature? Liberate it! I will teach you to master supernatural powers..."
"You... who are you?"
Vidaly asked, screaming.
"I am your ancestor, the high priest of the deep sea elders... You came to the sea, everything was arranged by fate..." The weak voice suddenly shook: "You were born to be on our side!"
…
"ah!"
Vidaly screamed and woke up.
She looked around and found that she was still in the dark room, but there was no sound of the waves crashing in her ears.
She also held the photo in her hand.
"Just now...was that a dream?"
Vidaly's expression became confused, and then fearful: "Can a dream be so real?"
Tick!
Tick!
Just then, she heard the sound of water droplets falling to the ground, and her expression suddenly changed.
There is no water flowing around, so where does this sound come from?
"In the dream , what did I choose in the end?"
Vidaly pressed her forehead, trying to recall, but she felt a headache.
At this time, she saw her hands.
On the back of the hand, a few blue, small, hard... scales appeared? !
"ah!!"
The girl's screams suddenly echoed back and forth in the dark room.
