The Underwater Alliance Chapter 8

But it wasn't just the people on the cruise ship who were shocked by the sea monster's violent behavior.

Benjamin stood at the edge of the boundary between sunlight and shadow and slowly stopped.

In fact, radiation is everywhere, it's just that if you are exposed directly, you will die faster, and if you are exposed directly, you will die faster.

Do people who are planning to die still care about these things?

Benjamin looked up at the almost cloudless sky. The weather had been sunny since they set sail. In fact, this was the problem. Only with a complete atmosphere would there be water vapor and clouds, and then rain and wind would be generated.

With so many doomsday prophecies and so many disaster movies, I guess no one would have thought that one day, when the real doomsday comes, it would be more despairing than any description.

The real terror is invisible.

So when Benjamin walked across the deck, he forced himself to ignore the stinging feeling of his skin from the sun. What he saw was the sea water. The vast sea was deep and boundless, and the occasional white waves stirred up by the shaking of the hull were impossible to see through. Perhaps there was another sea monster lurking underneath. The sea surface looked harmless because nothing could be seen below the water.

The cruise ship shook violently again, and Benjamin's movement to climb over the railing stopped.

He saw a bright silver appear in the waves.

Just like that, Benjamin fell forward and fell down because he didn't grab the railing.

It only took a few seconds to fall from a height of more than 30 meters. The strong wind forced Benjamin to close his eyes. The last scene in his pupils was a shadow gradually emerging from the sea.

---That looks like a person!

"Plop!"

Benjamin forgot to stab himself.

No, to be precise, he didn't even have the chance to stab himself, because the moment he fell into the water, the recoil made him faint.

The dinner knife that he was holding tightly in his hand gradually loosened as he lost consciousness and fell into the sea.

What will people see after they die? This has always been a mysterious topic.

Although studies have shown that a person's brain will be a few grams lighter after death, which is said to be proof of the existence of the soul, Benjamin has never thought about what happens after death, because he is always alone. The house he lives in has no life at all, and is always dark and gloomy. Even the cactus on the windowsill looks listless, and its thorns are almost all gone.

The last thing Benjamin thought of was it, and the cat downstairs in the apartment building that loved to play with balls of wool. That kind of creature was quite willful. When it was happy, it would give you a look, but when it was unhappy, it would turn its head away and run away without a trace.

People who can keep cats must be very patient and don't care about being treated coldly by their pets.

Benjamin has been in darkness. He once thought that as long as he took a step forward, he would be like others. But after he tried, he found that darkness was always with him. Some people can thrive wherever they are, while some people, like him, will never be appreciated no matter where they are. So they can only retreat. Only by not expecting anything can one avoid being hit and harmed. The way to live is not to take oneself too seriously, and not to take others too seriously.

In fact, not many people really want to know what you are thinking. On the contrary, they often tell you their thoughts endlessly and hope that you respect their views and opinions. If the listener just holds back and refuses to say anything, and endures until the day of explosion, people will be very surprised and don't understand what you are angry about. But like Benjamin, who didn't care about other people's hidden meanings from the beginning, only lived in his own world, never accommodated others, and was regarded as an alien in everyone's eyes, who didn't know the current situation and couldn't adapt. But is his life really that bad?

Benjamin was awakened by being choked by the sea water.

He opened his eyes and saw the sea surface above his head was already very blurry. The refraction of the water made it impossible for him to confirm the distance.

Another mouthful of bitter and salty sea water.

Benjamin instinctively waved his arms, but to his panic, the knife he had been holding disappeared. Did he lose it when he fell into the water? His plan was not to drown, as this process would be much more painful, but it was too late to struggle now.

Even for an expert swimmer, it would be difficult to float to the surface of the water while wearing clothes, let alone Benjamin who has no idea how to swim?

The water temperature was quite high, but it was just the most comfortable temperature for humans, as warm as a hot spring. Benjamin had no strength at all. He looked at the sea that was getting farther and farther away from him, and the huge black shadow of the Goddess Tarasa. Many big fish were hiding under the ship. His throat began to hurt as if it was cut by a knife, and his throat and chest began to feel stuffy and painful.

He is about to die.

He saw the huge shadow in the distance, and the sea monster was still ramming the cruise ship.

Benjamin did not close his eyes. The light shone through the sea, flickering, like a beautiful fantasy, making people want to approach and touch it, but he was getting farther and farther away from there.

But it only symbolizes death, just like the deep sea that is slowly getting colder and darker.

When Benjamin's consciousness began to blur, suddenly a strong force pulled him deeper. He struggled slightly, but it was of no avail. Benjamin had no idea what it was. The torture of suffocation was enough to make him ignore the strangeness of his feet being pulled, but then an arm slowly wrapped around his waist from behind.

Cold.

There is a large piece of light silver light floating up with the waves, what is that?

In the azure blue water that was gradually losing its luster, an indescribable trace suddenly floated in the gorgeous and deep purple pupils. The light silver long hair was like the morning mist floating in through the window. When it enveloped her, it was irresistible. Benjamin's gaze was fixed on those almost colorless lips, which were slightly open at the moment, perhaps she was about to say something.

Getting closer and closer until touching.

It was so soft and cold that Benjamin felt that this illusion before death was too ethereal.

But Benjamin didn't even have time to see clearly what was in front of him, he fainted.

On the sea, screams of panic and despair came one after another from the Goddess Thalassa. The sound of Benjamin falling into the sea was not as loud as the waves caused by the sea monster waving its arms. Even if they saw it, what could they do? Everyone was in danger.

Rayan huddled behind a box, his clothes were covered in stains, bloodstains, and the mess of food spilled while fighting over it. Not far away, a woman was holding onto a wooden frame fixed to the ground, staring blankly out the window. Her hair, which had been tied up, was all loose, and the hem of her pink backless evening dress had been torn off by herself, and the heels of her high heels were also broken. It was An Li, who actually had more water and food around her than Rayan, and Rayan huddled there, not daring to look at her any more, and could only mutter:

"Um, Sister Anli, don't get so close to the window, or you'll be attacked by sea monsters..."

An Li turned her head. Because she was using very expensive cosmetics, the shadow on her eyelashes had not fallen off until now. Although she was a little embarrassed, she did not look nervous and panicked. She was just a little dazed. After a while, she said:

"Xia...Benjamin jumped down!"

"Ah?" Rayan was stunned.

"Just now, he was over there on the railing... Although he was a little far away, only about seven or eight meters away, I could still see him..."

Rayan shuddered, perhaps wanting to get closer to see what was going on, but he still didn't dare to go near the window, and could only say in a lost voice:

"Xia Ge is crazy. There is a sea monster in the water, and he still jumps in?"

An Li was even more shocked than Rayan.

Because it was Benjamin who said to find a safe place to hide. Then why did he walk to the railing himself?

Jumping into the sea is definitely not a way to survive, so there is no hope of survival at all if I stay on the boat?

There was a glimmer of despair in Enri's eyes.

No, she doesn't want to die yet, she must find a way!

Despair now enveloped the Goddess Tarasa. Those non-religious people began to mutter to themselves, and more were still cursing. They still couldn't believe that they, who were such successful people with such status and position, could be so unlucky and encounter such a thing?

"a55hole, all said

9. The song of death...

The sea monster was created out of sheer rumour, and anyone who says this should be thrown into the sea!"

"dmn it, if I can get away with this, I'll never go out to sea again. I'll take a plane!"

"What a coast rescue team, what a ba5tard, it's been almost 24 hours and they still haven't come!"

Anxiety, uneasiness, anger, fear, when human emotions reach their peak, they will attract the covetousness of a legendary creature.

"Crash!"

Benjamin opened his eyes blurry after breaking through the water, but could only see a silver-white color, and then he lost consciousness again.

The sun had disappeared from the sky and darkness began to spread over the sea.

Then, everyone on the Goddess Thalassa heard the singing.

The monosyllable chant was ethereal, long, and so beautiful, like penetrating the boundless sea water, possessing the whole world, the song of the siren? The more negative emotions people had just exploded, the more dazed they became, as if what they heard was not a song, but a call from heaven, from paradise, from any place you know that is the most beautiful and happiest.

There are no worries, no sorrows, and no pain.

Some people were still conscious. They banged their heads against the pillars in panic. Then they saw people around them leaning or lying on the ground with strange smiles on their faces. They rushed over and shook them desperately, but those people did not react at all.

Then those who were awake could only cover their ears to protect themselves, but the singing could still be heard clearly.

Fortunately, the cruise ship was no longer moving, otherwise, any of the ships would have probably lost control, and the smaller ones would have capsized.

Mermaids are not as beautiful and kind as in fairy tales. In ancient legends of the ocean, their appearance will bring disaster. Ships that see mermaids cannot return to land safely.

Its long, light silver hair draped over its shoulders as the sea water slid down its body. In the darkness, its eyes were a shifting purple. Its appearance was neither pretty nor beautiful, but it had a unique look and charm. The light silver fins on its wrists and waist, like gauze, stretched slightly with the waves of the sea water, as beautiful as the clumps of seaweed on the seabed. Its pale arms tightly embraced Benjamin, and its almost colorless lips were not open. The mermaid's song was not heard with the ears.

For example, Benjamin, he heard nothing.

Of course, the one who was also unaffected was Abisir. This giant octopus had been ramming the cruise ship for a long time but saw the bottle fall and could only let its tentacles slip past its eyes.

Too small, too small, and still too small!!

Why couldn't the humans on the ship just throw down a bigger bottle?

That's right, throwing a bottle at an octopus has the same effect as teasing a cat with a cat teaser, or throwing a bone at a dog. Humans are always so hateful. They like to use things to disturb animals that are sleeping or entertaining themselves for no reason, and then leave them alone after arousing their excitement. Do you think this is excessive?

Abisser was furious. It wanted to throw away the small bottles, but it lifted them up and down and swung its tentacles many times.

In the end, I couldn't bear to do it.

Because it was so angry and anxious, it heard the singing.

As a sea monster, it has very good eyesight. To be precise, the brighter the place, the harder it is for it to distinguish things. The darker it is, the more clearly it can see. It turned over in the sea water and slowly sank. The strong water flow that was sucked in and ejected made it swim rapidly towards the sea surface far away from the cruise ship.

When you hear the mermaid's song, you begin to lose your life.

The giant octopus decided that if the ship sank to the bottom of the sea, it would belong to it, and it would not give it up no matter who tried to grab it!

Things that humans can explain are called "science", but there are many things that are not within this category.

This does not mean that no one has done research on it, although it sounds like these projects and topics are just a waste of money or the researchers have a brain short circuit. For example, the opening of the Ren and Du meridians in Chinese martial arts novels. Of course, this has limitations. Except for Chinese people, other people don't even understand this term. It is not international and is different from the things mentioned below.

Mermaids, yes, they exist in myths of all countries. Whether in the East or the West, in Asia Minor, the Aegean Sea or Babylon, whether they are mermaids or sirens. Almost any country with a coastline will have those stories.

At least many secret files can tell you that since the Age of Exploration, some people have heard mermaids singing at sea, but these people were either far away from the source of the singing, or simply mentally ill and in a trance.
