The Mister Islands were a chain of pearl-like islands.
Apart from the largest pearl, the Port of Marnke, there was another hidden pearl — the island where the Secret Keeper's headquarters was located, the unnamed island!
After bidding farewell to Vedaly, Fang Xian and Erick found the local receptionist of the Secret Keeper and boarded a small ferry with another batch of new investigators, ready to go to the unnamed island for training.
There were many new investigators 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 powers that could spread pollution just by leaving behind information.
Fang Xian and Erick, on the other hand, seemed somewhat out of place, as if they were aliens.
"That island … After I reported it, the Secret Keeper sent investigators to check it out. There's no island like what we described in the sea …"
Erick revealed the information he had obtained with a complicated expression.
"With the power of those deep-sea spawns, it's very easy to hide an island …" Fang Xian did not care. "But if they don't appear again, it'll be very difficult to eliminate them …"
In fact, he did not want to eliminate them.
To him, the scaly people were simply cannon fodder. With a wave of his hand, a large number of them would die.
However, the Elders of the Deep Sea, or the Abyssal Ancients, were different. They were superior creatures similar to the Black Taisui.
Needless to say, they also worshipped the existence sleeping at the bottom of the deep sea.
"Yeah, just like our Nameless Island."
Erick sighed and looked at the sea fog in front of him. "We're almost there …"
Fang Xian looked up and saw that in the thin fog, the outline of an island was faintly discernible, and finally solidified.
'Interesting, an isolated island completely hidden by a mysterious power? Isn't the Secret Keeper the representative of restraining the use of power? So … the abnormality of this island wasn't caused by the Secret Keeper. Instead, they set up their headquarters here to watch over something? '
A guess appeared in Fang Xian's mind.
The steam engine of the ferry roared as it approached a concrete pier.
When the ship docked, the surrounding mist disappeared.
If one were to look at it from the surface of the sea, one would discover that the place where the small island was originally located was completely empty. Everything that had happened before was like a mirage.
This was the headquarters of the Secret Keeper — the Unnamed Island, a special area that had never appeared on the map!
…
At the same time, Port of Marne.
"Finally … it's done."
In the darkroom, Vedaly was looking at a picture with a smile on her face.
This was the mural of the horrifying island that she had taken.
Although the camera was broken, she managed to salvage the negatives and was now developing them.
This was an oversight that even Eric hadn't thought of. Vidaly was quite talented in concealing items, and managed to hide them from the subsequent search.
At that time, there were too many tourists who had seen the anomaly, and they could not deal with it all at once. Moreover, there had been a lot of supernatural cases in recent years. The so-called 'hypnotic memory' therapy had gradually been abandoned. Confidentiality agreements became mainstream.
In any case, the abnormality of the island had yet to be completely revealed.
Although the tourists saw some things, they didn't understand what they really saw.
It was just an island floating above the horrifying sea, and there were mountains ten times or even a hundred times bigger below!
"Although I can't publish it due to the confidentiality agreement, I can study it and look for related items … This mural … can at least be kept as a memento of this trip. Unfortunately, Eric and Rocca didn't leave any contact information!"
Vedaly looked at the picture and thought angrily.
* Splash! *
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of waves.
"Daughter of the sea … Daughter of the sea …"
From the faint sound of the waves, there seemed to be a weak voice calling out to him.
"Ah!"
Startled, Vedaly dropped the picture in her hand to the ground.
She suddenly understood something.
The horror of the small island did not completely disappear after she left. It had always been there, always existed!
Now, it had found her.
"Are you afraid? Why are you afraid? " The call was a little weak, but Vedaly could still hear it clearly. "You were born the daughter of the sea. You have the blood of the scaled-people in your body …"
Vedaly was stunned.
She thought of her grandmother. She seemed to come from the sea and was said to be good at diving.
"No, no, this is too crazy … I have the blood of the sea? I'm going to find the authorities. They will definitely save me. "Vedaly encouraged herself and was about to leave to find the people who signed the confidentiality agreement for her.
"Idiot! They will think you are dangerous. They will be afraid of you and seal your power … power that surpasses humans! "The voice in the sea continued." You think your two friends are good to you? No! They are lying to you! They are hiding it from you! They have supernatural powers, but they didn't show any of it to you. They just watched ordinary people die … "
"No …" Vedaly hugged her head, her voice sounding like she was about to cry.
She thought of the dead Luca again, and the rotting corpse with scales growing on it.
Although the voice in the sea was weak, it seemed to be able to see her heart and all her weaknesses.
"You like adventure, you like to travel. This is your nature. Why do you want to suppress your nature? Release it! I will teach you how to control supernatural power … "
"Who … who are you?"
Vedaly screamed.
"I am your ancestor, the high priest of the Elders of the Deep Sea … You came to the sea because of fate …" The weak voice suddenly trembled. "You were born to be on our side!"
…
"Ah!"
Vedaly screamed and woke up.
She looked around and realized that she was still in the dark room. She could not hear the sound of the waves.
She was still holding the picture in her hand.
"Was that … a dream?"
Vidaly's expression turned into one of bewilderment and fear. "Is there really such a realistic dream?"
Drip!
Drip!
At this moment, she heard the sound of water falling to the ground. Her expression suddenly changed.
There was no water around, so where did the sound come from?
"What did I choose in the dream?"
Vedaly pressed her forehead, trying to remember, but she felt a headache coming on.
At this moment, she saw her own hand.
On the back of her hand, there were a few blue, small, hard … scales?!
"Ah!"
The girl's scream echoed in the dark room.
