The Lost Mermaid [Zhongyingmei]
Chapter 60
When she woke up again, Doris's body was no longer cold and damp like last time, but a warm and soft carpet.
She said nothing, quietly listening to the movement around her.
Doris could vaguely hear the music starting to play at this time, people talking and laughing like white noise, she couldn't hear what they were saying.Besides, there was no sound in the room she was in.That doesn't mean there's no one in the room, maybe Joey Love might even be looking at her without saying anything.
She tried her best to maintain a steady breathing, and carefully discerned the smell with the tip of her nose - the smell of books and newspapers was particularly strong.In addition, there is the smell of ink mixed with the aroma of paper.
The floor plan of the B-floor of the Titanic appeared in Doris's mind. Based on the direction she walked from the deck to the bathroom just now, she should have passed a gym, a private swimming pool, a private massage room and a... Museum!
When Doris confirmed her location, she slowly opened her eyes.
There was no light turned on in the room, and the only source of light was the light from the corridor coming from the crack in the door.
A pair of footprints blocked part of the light in front of the crack of the door.
There was a man standing there.
"Joelov?" Doris directly pointed out his name, "It's you again, what a coincidence."
He didn't speak.
Doris put her hands on the ground and slowly sat herself up.Her wrists were not tied, and Doris guessed that he lacked materials in his current situation, and he didn't want to do anything to her, otherwise there was no need to keep her - because he could successfully "kidnapped" again From her point of view, it was not that he was incapable of killing her.
In this case, she is not in a desperate situation and has no way out.
"I guess, you were saved by Mr. Edward Roose Jr.? What kind of benefits did he promise you to attack me? Joey Love, I really don't understand why you have to fight against Carl? Carl If I'm missing, the whole crew will be sent to look for me. This is the library, isn't it? You think he can't find it?"
Doris didn't give him time to react, and directly asked a series of questions.
"I will always be loyal to the Hockley family, Miss Boardman, you have misunderstood me." Joey Love's old hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, "Little Edward tried to make me betray my master. Obviously, he has always used Such a low-handed method to buy those worthless and unknown pawns, but even if Master Carl is ruthless to me, in my eyes, he is just a poor child who was bewitched by the banshee!"
The Banshee laughed softly.
"So, you are still a 'loyal' old servant? But, Joey Love, I'm curious, what is your definition of loyalty?"
"Of course everything is for the good of the master, and he is the priority!" Joey Love said without hesitation.
Doris raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, who is your master? Karl? Or his father?"
Cjoylov was stunned. Of course he would blurt out the name of old Hockley, but it didn't match what he said just now.
"You know, I'm not human." Doris groped for a chaise longue chair in the dark, supported it and slowly stood up, and said these shocking words, "Joelov, you must know that I She came from the same world as Karl's mother, but even creatures with longer lives like us understand that the past is the past after all, and tomorrow is the future."
Chouilov should choose at this time, whether his master is old Hockley or Karl!
As Doris spoke, she slowly approached the door - based on her knowledge of the ship, there must be a light switch by the door.
"You're a mermaid!" Choilov repeated the words, "Mermaid!? Haha, I think it's a goblin! A monster that comes to the shore to suck humans!" He cursed in a low voice, and suddenly strode over and grabbed Caught Doris by the collar.
Doris let out an exclamation, and slammed the light switch with her arm, but he also threw her aside and hit the ground.
Eyes suddenly brightened, Doris leaned against the foot of the table, enduring the severe pain in her back and the sudden glare of light in front of her eyes, and looked at this "faithful servant".
Joeylov's beard was no longer as well-groomed and clean as it used to be. It covered the lower half of his face in small pieces, reaching all the way to the hairline.His eyes were cloudy and tired, but still sharp and disgusted when they stared at Doris.What he was wearing was no longer a neat suit, but an "inferior" overalls, with warped patches on his knees, shoulders and elbows.The clothes didn't fit him very well, and they were tight, revealing his muscular and muscular body.
Even though he was down and out, he still kept the surface clean, without a trace of black oil and charcoal dust on his face.
Gritting his teeth, Joeylov yelled at her: "Whether it's my old master or my little master! I will prevent such disgusting and cruel creatures from approaching them! You are goblins and demons! Hockley will be killed You are ruined!"
Doris looked at him with a sneer: "Blood! If you hadn't sent people to kill me, I would never have regarded you as an enemy from the very beginning! The relationship between Carl and me is a matter between the two of us. When will it be your turn?" A servant here to tell me what to do?" When Joey Love sent someone to kidnap her for the first time, and made her almost violated, Doris really regarded him as an enemy—even with that old Hockley!
If she really did something that hurt Karl, she would blame herself without Qiaoyilov's accusation.
"You murderer! Just like that Lily, you will never be a human captive. You can brutally kill other people, and one day you will aim your sharp teeth at the closest person! Both Hockley I can't escape the claws of the devil!" Joey Love rushed up and grabbed Doris by the neck, "I don't care what the little master thinks of me, he will understand me one day! Living with a goblin who killed people , sooner or later you will hurt yourself!"
His fingers became tighter and tighter.
Doris stared at him with wide eyes, her throat was sorely pinched, and every bit of air was squeezed out of her lung cavity.
Doris's hand couldn't reach his chest, so she had to grab his arm.Her eyes became hot, and the sharp fingernails slowly stretched out, piercing his clothes.Doris bit the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from fainting due to lack of oxygen. Her cold nails gradually scratched his arm. Joey Love hissed in pain, and then tightened his hand even more.
On the verge of losing consciousness, Doris suddenly felt a burst of coolness soothing the tingling and dryness of her throat.
She opened her eyes.
It's the heart of the ocean!
It's on Joey Love!
At this moment, Doris actually still had the thoughts to describe in her mind the scene of him stealing the heart of the ocean.Her brain was spinning rapidly, while secretly absorbing the energy of the heart of the ocean, while planning how to get out.
Seeing that the person pinched by his hands had gradually regained his clarity, Qiaoiloff panicked almost imperceptibly.
— After all, this is not an ordinary weak woman.
Doris's hand gripped harder, and the clothes on Joeylov's arm also seeped blood.The throbbing pain at the wound made him gasp, Doris took the opportunity to raise her leg and kicked him hard in the chest.
Joey Love groaned in pain and let go.Doris's feet were also tingling, she bit the tip of her tongue, seized the moment when he lost his strength, and scratched her sharp nails towards his neck.
The smell of blood permeated in an instant.
Doris's mouth smelled of blood and rust, and the tip of her nose smelled the smell of Joey Love's blood rolling.She swallowed the saliva mixed with blood in her mouth, and was about to launch the power of the ocean to attack his heart, but suddenly she couldn't stand still, and fainted before her eyes.
Doris grabbed the blanket on the lady's chair with both hands, thinking that her strength was about to be exhausted, she looked at Joey Love who was rushing towards her again, and tried her best to cling to the chair to stand up.
"boom."
At the same time as the dull sound sounded, the hull shook.
Doris stared wide-eyed and froze.
At this moment, Qiaoyilov seized the opportunity and pushed her down to the side bookcase.
Doris's back hit the bookcase fiercely, and the sharp book corners pierced her waist, and her eyes turned black in bursts.
The shaking hasn't stopped yet, and now Doris doesn't think it's because she is dizzy with pain that she feels the boat shaking!
In her mind, the picture of the carved door in the dining room flashed.
"Wait—" Before she finished speaking, Doris saw Joey Love's terrified eyes.
With the sound of thousands of books falling down, the bookcase fell down.
Doris fell down hard, hitting her head on the armrest of the chaise longue, causing a sharp pain.
The more intense pain came from her lower body. Doris struggled to break free from the bookcase and the hundreds of heavy books on her body, but she couldn't use any strength because of the crushing pain in her waist.
She looked back with difficulty, and saw that two huge bookcases had fallen down and were below her waist.
On the other side, Chouilov was completely submerged in the pile of books, only one hand was exposed, his fingers trembled slightly, and Doris saw the pure blue from his cuff.
By the time Carl asked for the third time if Doris was back, patience and reason were nearing the end.
Is something wrong with Doris?
There are too many enemies on board, but they still barely maintain the dignity of this nobleman, and they will not attack easily.What Karl is most worried about now is that Joey Love will attack his lover!And the biggest possibility is only Joey Love!
He wanted to discuss with 1900 to find Doris together, but when he turned around, he saw that he was playing the romantic "Wedding March" with the band under the ridicule and booing of everyone.Karl frowned, but decided to bring someone to look for him.
Carl remembered that day when Doris asked the crew to look for the "lost" pearl.Then he walked to the railing, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly dropped his pocket watch into the sea.
"Come on! Come on! Where's the guard?" he staggered and called out, pretending to be a haughty drunken gentleman. "Go get that thief! Somebody stole my pocket watch! Damn it—that's me. My favorite watch is enough to buy half a manor!"
His words attracted the guards on call at any time, and they politely asked what happened.
Carl lied casually, "I was smoking just now, and guess what, someone bumped into me, and I felt my clothes being ripped apart! How could such a person appear on the deck? I turned my eyes and saw that my pocket watch Gone? ... If I catch him, hiccup! I'll have him—hiccup!" He hiccups twice.
The guards reacted quickly and promised to find that person for him. When they heard that it was a tall man, they immediately dispersed.
Karl watched their figures disappear into the sea of people before he stood up straight.
What he did was just to muddy the water, and the only person who could really look for Doris was himself!
Carl quickly left the busy deck and ran towards the bathroom.
He knocked on the door from room to room, pretending to be a drunk and impolite alcoholic, accompanied by the angry ridicule of gentlemen and ladies in each room, his heart gradually cooled down .
Just halfway there, I heard a shrill whistle from the command room on the A floor.Karl's footsteps stopped instantly, he was all too familiar with that voice!During the original sea trial, the emergency stop of the test was due to a circuit problem and no warning sound was issued, which frightened everyone and almost caused an accident.
— That's the signal for an emergency stop!
Carl grabs the railing and looks out.
But the sea was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Karl heard panicked footsteps on the deck from a distance, and the melody of the music became chaotic.He spat, turned and ran towards the stairs leading to the A floor.He ran with all his strength, and his intuition told him that something must have happened!
The ship was coming to an emergency stop, and the huge inertia made him almost fall down. Karl was clinging to the railing tightly, but he was thrown aside, and he could hardly stand up.
Cold sweat oozes from his forehead, he doesn't know what Doris is going through now!
Carl staggered toward the stairs, three steps short!two steps!step!
Carl's hand finally caught the escalator.He climbed up with hands and feet, but just after climbing four or five steps, the ship shook violently.
The shock made his grip on the escalator go numb, but Karl didn't let go and continued to climb up.
A loud crackling sound pierced his eardrums, and Carl nearly fell off the escalator.He was dizzy, and looked towards the source of the voice. For a moment, his eyes were filled with helplessness and panic.
——A huge iceberg passed behind him with a cold air, and the huge ice twigs protruding horizontally scratched the hull and fell to the ground in pieces.
The crystal clear ice cubes shone with a cold and dangerous light under the light.
It is as beautiful as a diamond, but in Karl's eyes, it is a cold devil.
A faint vibration came up from the bottom of the hull. Carl didn't know what happened underneath, but the dream that Doris had told him made him suddenly unable to breathe.He couldn't believe it was real, but...
The words that Doris had reminded him time and time again were broadcast and repeated in his ears.
"Unsinkable" now seems like a complete joke!
After being dazed for a few seconds, Karl suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly continued to climb the escalator and ran towards the captain's control room on floor A.
The Titanic didn't stop, it continued to drive slowly, but its speed was only one-tenth of the usual speed.Carl ran towards the front of the A floor, and he looked down at the same time as he ran.
People didn't know that disaster was imminent, they encountered an iceberg suddenly, and the ice shattered and fell on the deck. Instead, the young people screamed in surprise, picked up the ice on the ground and started an "iceball fight" ".Karl couldn't help cursing out, but the movements of his feet didn't stop.
He looked to the other side, slightly relieved by the piled-up lifeboats.
"boom--"
He suddenly pushed open the door of the control room. Both Captain Smith and his deputy were standing in front of the command helm. He didn't look back when he heard the sound of the door of the control room being opened suddenly.
Karl saw that his back was drenched with cold sweat.
"Quickly let the crew prepare the lifeboats, let the passengers board first, and be ready to leave at any time!" Carl shouted in a hurry before he had time to exchange greetings.
Captain Smith looked at him fixedly, without speaking.Mr. Ismay's voice came from behind Carl: "Mr. Hockley! The matter is far from that point! If we let everyone get on the lifeboat, it will inevitably make them panic. This is not a good sign!"
Carl turned his head, and saw the thin Mr. Ismay, smoking a cigarette, stretched out his hand calmly, as if to shake hands with him.
Karl ignored him and looked at the captain: "Do you think so too? Look - the iceberg has pierced through the hull! The sinking is a matter of time. Are we doing nothing because we are worried about everyone panicking? We are going to Isn't it just to save everyone at a critical moment?"
"You are right, Mr. Hockley, but we are still trying." Captain Smith tried to calm him down, "The Titanic is very strong, you should trust the steel produced by your factory, not to mention that our crew is still very strong." Checking down, trying our best to repair the loopholes, isolate the various power compartments, and prevent seawater from leaking—everyone is still working hard.”
"While working hard, don't you need protection?" Carl laughed angrily, and now he finally understood the powerlessness when Doris reminded her many times but was ignored.
Mr. Ismay smoked and said nothing.
Karl was so angry that he couldn't speak, he walked back and forth in place like a trapped animal.
"Mr. Hockley, don't be so flustered! You're walking so fast that I'm so nervous!" Mr. Ismay joked.
Carl took a deep look at him, and said in a low voice: "I'll say it again, ask the crew to prepare the lifeboat and notify all the passengers to board, otherwise——you and I can't bear the consequences."
"Hockley." Ismay flicked the cigar lightly between her fingers, "You are no longer the major shareholder, I think I can still have the final say on this ship! It is true that the Titanic needs a Big news, that's why we let the Titanic go full steam ahead, but the Titanic doesn't need another witty joke - we can't cause panic!"
Carl gritted his teeth, unable to control his anger, and swung his fist at Ismay.
"Ah—" Mr. Ismay let out a scream, but Carl's hand missed him.
His fist was blocked by another rough hand, and Karl looked towards the owner of that hand to see Captain Smith nod at him.
Carl's pupils constricted as he pushed open the public library door.
Among the fallen bookshelves and scattered books, a magnificent blue rose bloomed.His mermaid princess was crushed under heavy weights, her face was extremely pale against the background of the dark blue dress, and there were two glaring red marks on her slender neck.
Under her body, the sea-blue skirt was stained with patches of black, exuding a bloody smell.
There was a surge of heat in Karl's eyes, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.Trembling almost to the point of falling, he stumbled towards Doris.
"Doris... Doris... wake up! Wake up!" Karl seemed to hug her, but there were too many heavy objects on her body.His lips trembled as he kissed her cheek.Doris' weak breathing made his eyes bloodshot.
He stood up like crazy and threw away the books.He tried to remove the bookcase that was pressing on her, but found that this exquisite and noble solid wood carved bookcase was extremely hateful at this moment!With his own strength alone, he couldn't even move it!
Oh, God!One can imagine how painful Doris is now!
Carl had no choice but to retreat and throw away all the books first, and piled up a small mountain on the other side in a mess.
Suddenly, the hull began to vibrate again.There were ear-piercing screams and terrified cries outside the door. Carl expected that Captain Smith must have notified the news that the Titanic Red was about to sink. At this time, even if he wanted to conceal the truth, it was impossible.
Carl continued to move, suddenly, he found that the bookcase started to loosen!
The books on the top of the book mountain on the side also fell down with a clatter.
The boat tipped the other way.Carl's eyes lit up, and with this strength, he placed his hands under the bookshelf and lifted it up with difficulty.
Before he could be happy about it, the bookshelf fell in another direction.The entire ground tilted down, and all the bookshelves fell in the direction they fell.Carl has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Doris's hand, otherwise, she would have fallen together!
Doris woke up stimulated by the stinging pain from being pulled by him, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Carl..."
Her feeble breath sounded like heaven to Karl's ears now.
Doris felt herself being hugged suddenly.Carl's embrace was warm and strong, and he held her in his arms, as if he had grasped the only treasure in his life.
Doris coughed lightly, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.The bright red in Carl's eyes was about to drip down. He hugged Doris and slowly moved towards the door beside him.He was worried that once he stood up with her in his arms, the boat might tilt even more at any time.
Doris couldn't afford to be hurt again.
He was in a dilemma.
Just when he was feeling desperate, two familiar figures appeared at the door.
"God! What's wrong with Doris! She...she..." Ruth and Jack hurried over with horror on their faces.
Jack stepped forward, skillfully ripped off Doris's skirt, and was punched in the cheek by Karl: "What are you doing!" He was extremely angry, his face was flushed, and his eyes were wide open.
Jack glanced at him, and Ruth rolled her eyes: "He's going to check Ruth's wound!"
"That shouldn't tear her skirt!" Carl blocked Jack's hand, "Ruth, you pick up Doris with me, let's get out of here first! Have the passengers on the deck started to get on the lifeboats?" gone?"
"Yes, Captain Smith let the ladies and children get on board first, hurry up! Let Ruth and Doris get on board first!" Jack explained hurriedly regardless of Carl's hostility.
Carl nodded, and stood up slowly with Ruth on his side holding Doris.He had Doris almost completely trapped in his arms, and Ruth felt a little redundant.With their other hands propped on the tables and chairs fixed to the ground, they walked slowly towards the door.
Jack cleared the way ahead for them, clearing a path through the crowd, allowing Carl and Ruth to lead Doris to the deck.
As soon as a few people appeared on the deck, everyone screamed.
The gentlemen and ladies were still standing and chatting in twos and threes, and no one was willing to get on the boat first.
"It's too cold today! We should go indoors and wait!"
"Yes! Waiter, bring me some wine. We are fools waiting to get on board."
"Oh! My Poppy! Look, he's frozen to death!" A lady hugged the puppy in her hand, rubbing its head distressedly, "What are we suffering from! It's so cold! God! Didn't the Titanic stop? No earthquake! No danger!"
Carl and his party were about to be laughed out of anger.
Regardless of the delicate nobles, they hurriedly led Doris to the other side of the queue waiting to board the ship.
Mrs. Strauss, who was older, was placed at the front, still in her nightgown over a thick fur coat.As soon as she stepped into the suspended lifeboat, she turned her head and saw Doris walking this way with her eyes tightly closed being supported by Carl and Ruth.
"God! What happened to her! My poor little Doris..." Mrs. Strauss almost wanted to climb back on the Titanic, but was stopped by the crew immediately.She looked at the two crew members who were controlling the gondola, and pleaded, "Young man, have you seen the seriously injured lady? She looks very bad. I would like to give up my seat to her first. Get on board!"
Mr. Strauss frowned, but he didn't say anything under the pleading eyes of Mrs. Strauss.
"This..." The crew didn't know what to do. There were too many people waiting to board the ship behind him, all of them were of high authority, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Carl immediately stepped forward, took out a dozen dollars from his pocket, and stuffed them in his trouser pocket.The crew froze as if stimulated, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded weakly, motioning them to get the wounded on board quickly.
Their petty actions really made the people in the queue at the back unhappy. Mrs. Strauss glared and said, "I'll come down and re-queue! Since some people think this is unfair! The Virgin Mary will agree with me, this girl It looks very weak, but there are still people who can't show mercy!"
Her words silenced the ladies who thought they were kind.
Carl was so grateful that he couldn't speak. He took off his heavy coat and wrapped it tightly around Doris.Mrs. Strauss boarded the boat despite Ruth's persuasion. Then, Ruth stepped over the lifeboat, met Karl at the other end, carried Doris to the lifeboat, and found a wide place to sit down. .
Carl never took his eyes off Doris' face.
He still wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
He stood aside and watched the ladies climb into the lifeboats one after another.It was only when their male companions kissed them goodbye on the Titanic that Carl regretted not giving his princess a good kiss.
Next to his ears, 1900 and the orchestra were playing soothing music, trying to calm the restless and flustered mood of the crowd with music.Carl looked back, and his eyes met 1900 who was playing the piano in the crowd.
There was no panic or panic in 1900's eyes. After he nodded at him, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the beauty of the piano.
He was so calm, as if he had experienced these countless times.
Carl's eyes lingered on the deck. Little Edward and his grandfather were smoking a cigarette, standing far away with a group of gentlemen, and still maintaining the gentlemen's etiquette of ladies first. Among them was the friend Patrick from 1900, who gently comforted him. Mrs. Margaret arranged for the ladies and children to get into the lifeboat one by one in an orderly manner; Mrs. Bucket hurried over from the cabin holding her skirt, His eyes anxiously searched for Ruth in the crowd...
The lifeboats were being lowered section by section.The unskilled operation of the crew on both sides caused the speed of lowering the slings on both sides of the lifeboat to be inconsistent. A violent shaking and tilt caused the ladies to scream in fear.The scream woke Doris up.
She narrowed her eyes, and the familiar aura around her made her think she was still in Carl's arms.She opened her eyes slowly, but saw those familiar black eyes on the Titanic above her head, getting further and further away from her.
"Carl! Cough, cough—" She wanted to call out his name, but she could hardly make a sound because of the pain in her throat.She touched her neck, the pinched place must have formed bruises, and now even a light touch would sting extremely painfully.
"They'll be all right, Doris, and at your insistence with Carl, there are more than enough lifeboats on the Titanic." Ruth heard her voice and realized she was awake, and she squeezed tightly. He hugged her and comforted her, "You saved all of us! Doris! The ladies waiting for the first class have all boarded the lifeboat, and the gentlemen will also come up."
Doris nodded weakly, and she clutched the coat on her body, which still had the familiar smell of tobacco on it.She turned her head to look at Ruth, only to see that her eyes were already filled with tears, and a pair of eyes were shining under the light.
The lifeboat was still being lowered, and the uniform shouts of the gentlemen and the crew were faintly heard overhead. They shouted the beat, and the lifeboat was lowered at a constant speed and steadily.
The moment the lifeboat touched the sea, the ladies breathed a sigh of relief, with joyful smiles on their cheeks.After the side hooks were removed, suddenly they didn't know what to do.
Doris grabbed Ruth's hand and whispered, "Let them row quickly! The farther away from the Titanic the better!" Seeing Ruth's puzzled face, Doris continued to explain, "If the Titanic If the ship sinks, then when it drives the sea to roll, it will roll all our boats down!"
Ruth nodded suspiciously. She told the girls on board, but they didn't believe it.
Doris sighed, and Ruth had an idea: "Let's compare with other boats to see who can row faster! I think we are all people who have rowed boats on the lake before. Is it not enough? You see—their ship has already started!"
Mrs. Strauss nodded and looked at the group of girls. Under Ruth's persuasion and Mrs. Strauss' nod, they finally picked up the oars and started paddling decently.
Doris gritted her teeth, and with the little ocean power left in her body, she pushed the lifeboat to a distance.
Suddenly, she screamed out, and Ruth was taken aback by her: "What's wrong!?"
"Heart of the Ocean!" Doris suddenly turned her head and looked at the huge monster.The Titanic was the only light in the dark night. All the lights on the dozen or so floors were turned on. In her eyes, it was like a series of connected fires burning on the sea.
"At this time, you don't have to think about the heart of the ocean!" A woman beside her heard her words and said sarcastically, "None of us brought anything out, Miss Boardman, at this time, don't you Still caring about things outside of us? We're not going to...God!"
Before the words fell, Doris jumped into the sea with a splash.
Ruth was stunned. She hurriedly lay down beside the lifeboat and wanted to jump, but was held back by Mrs. Strauss.
Doris fell into the sea, as if she had fallen into another world.
This does not mean that there are two worlds above and below the sea, but that she seems to have fallen into her dream.
She tried her best to swim towards the Titanic, but she couldn't swim no matter what, and could only linger in place.This kind of powerlessness only appeared when I had a "prophetic dream" last time.She watched Ruth jump into the water, watched her swim towards the Titanic and quickly left her behind;
She watched the lifeboats being lowered one after another, but before all the lifeboats carrying everyone landed on the sea surface, the Titanic broke completely in the middle, and the heavy end capsized and submerged in the ocean. , causing a circle of ripples;
She watched countless people jump into the sea one by one from the vertically tilted end of the Titanic, and disappeared on the sea in an instant;
She watched the people on the lifeboats wailing and rowing to the distance, and the sound of arguing whether to turn around to save people came from every lifeboat;
……
However, she could only watch and couldn't move.
She could feel the power in her body gradually filling up, but it was as if a can with a hole had fallen into the sea, filled with sea water in an instant, but her body sank down helplessly.She widened her eyes and tried her best to row towards the Titanic, even if it was useless!
She saw the last sharp corner of the Titanic plunged into the sea water. Looking underwater, the behemoth looked like a sunken palace, sinking slowly but without hesitation.
Doris' pain, joy, shyness, and sourness gradually calmed down.
She can calmly feel that her feelings are gradually being pulled away, just like any indifferent bystander-everything that has been experienced on the shore seems to have been experienced by another person with the same face as her s story.
Doris was terrified of such calmness, but it was hard to resist.
She shouted from the bottom of her heart, but even that person's face gradually became blurred in her mind.
He... what's his name?
What color are his eyes?
What is his usual expression?
Forgot all about it, Doris closed her eyes calmly.
……
But how could that be forgotten?
Doris couldn't help feeling sad, she couldn't bear everything on the shore, she couldn't bear Ruth, she couldn't bear Jack, she couldn't bear the human brother 1900, and she couldn't bear to...
Karl!
Carl Hockley!
Doris opened her eyes, and the blue water merged with her blue eyes.
She waved her hands, kicked her legs, and swam towards the faint black palace.
The shackles that oppressed her were suddenly loosened, and she was at a loss as she looked at what her fingers suddenly touched—it was a pocket watch.
She scooped it up and brought it close to her cheek.
The ticking clock sounds like the gears of fate are spinning, her eyes
She said nothing, quietly listening to the movement around her.
Doris could vaguely hear the music starting to play at this time, people talking and laughing like white noise, she couldn't hear what they were saying.Besides, there was no sound in the room she was in.That doesn't mean there's no one in the room, maybe Joey Love might even be looking at her without saying anything.
She tried her best to maintain a steady breathing, and carefully discerned the smell with the tip of her nose - the smell of books and newspapers was particularly strong.In addition, there is the smell of ink mixed with the aroma of paper.
The floor plan of the B-floor of the Titanic appeared in Doris's mind. Based on the direction she walked from the deck to the bathroom just now, she should have passed a gym, a private swimming pool, a private massage room and a... Museum!
When Doris confirmed her location, she slowly opened her eyes.
There was no light turned on in the room, and the only source of light was the light from the corridor coming from the crack in the door.
A pair of footprints blocked part of the light in front of the crack of the door.
There was a man standing there.
"Joelov?" Doris directly pointed out his name, "It's you again, what a coincidence."
He didn't speak.
Doris put her hands on the ground and slowly sat herself up.Her wrists were not tied, and Doris guessed that he lacked materials in his current situation, and he didn't want to do anything to her, otherwise there was no need to keep her - because he could successfully "kidnapped" again From her point of view, it was not that he was incapable of killing her.
In this case, she is not in a desperate situation and has no way out.
"I guess, you were saved by Mr. Edward Roose Jr.? What kind of benefits did he promise you to attack me? Joey Love, I really don't understand why you have to fight against Carl? Carl If I'm missing, the whole crew will be sent to look for me. This is the library, isn't it? You think he can't find it?"
Doris didn't give him time to react, and directly asked a series of questions.
"I will always be loyal to the Hockley family, Miss Boardman, you have misunderstood me." Joey Love's old hoarse voice sounded in the darkness, "Little Edward tried to make me betray my master. Obviously, he has always used Such a low-handed method to buy those worthless and unknown pawns, but even if Master Carl is ruthless to me, in my eyes, he is just a poor child who was bewitched by the banshee!"
The Banshee laughed softly.
"So, you are still a 'loyal' old servant? But, Joey Love, I'm curious, what is your definition of loyalty?"
"Of course everything is for the good of the master, and he is the priority!" Joey Love said without hesitation.
Doris raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, who is your master? Karl? Or his father?"
Cjoylov was stunned. Of course he would blurt out the name of old Hockley, but it didn't match what he said just now.
"You know, I'm not human." Doris groped for a chaise longue chair in the dark, supported it and slowly stood up, and said these shocking words, "Joelov, you must know that I She came from the same world as Karl's mother, but even creatures with longer lives like us understand that the past is the past after all, and tomorrow is the future."
Chouilov should choose at this time, whether his master is old Hockley or Karl!
As Doris spoke, she slowly approached the door - based on her knowledge of the ship, there must be a light switch by the door.
"You're a mermaid!" Choilov repeated the words, "Mermaid!? Haha, I think it's a goblin! A monster that comes to the shore to suck humans!" He cursed in a low voice, and suddenly strode over and grabbed Caught Doris by the collar.
Doris let out an exclamation, and slammed the light switch with her arm, but he also threw her aside and hit the ground.
Eyes suddenly brightened, Doris leaned against the foot of the table, enduring the severe pain in her back and the sudden glare of light in front of her eyes, and looked at this "faithful servant".
Joeylov's beard was no longer as well-groomed and clean as it used to be. It covered the lower half of his face in small pieces, reaching all the way to the hairline.His eyes were cloudy and tired, but still sharp and disgusted when they stared at Doris.What he was wearing was no longer a neat suit, but an "inferior" overalls, with warped patches on his knees, shoulders and elbows.The clothes didn't fit him very well, and they were tight, revealing his muscular and muscular body.
Even though he was down and out, he still kept the surface clean, without a trace of black oil and charcoal dust on his face.
Gritting his teeth, Joeylov yelled at her: "Whether it's my old master or my little master! I will prevent such disgusting and cruel creatures from approaching them! You are goblins and demons! Hockley will be killed You are ruined!"
Doris looked at him with a sneer: "Blood! If you hadn't sent people to kill me, I would never have regarded you as an enemy from the very beginning! The relationship between Carl and me is a matter between the two of us. When will it be your turn?" A servant here to tell me what to do?" When Joey Love sent someone to kidnap her for the first time, and made her almost violated, Doris really regarded him as an enemy—even with that old Hockley!
If she really did something that hurt Karl, she would blame herself without Qiaoyilov's accusation.
"You murderer! Just like that Lily, you will never be a human captive. You can brutally kill other people, and one day you will aim your sharp teeth at the closest person! Both Hockley I can't escape the claws of the devil!" Joey Love rushed up and grabbed Doris by the neck, "I don't care what the little master thinks of me, he will understand me one day! Living with a goblin who killed people , sooner or later you will hurt yourself!"
His fingers became tighter and tighter.
Doris stared at him with wide eyes, her throat was sorely pinched, and every bit of air was squeezed out of her lung cavity.
Doris's hand couldn't reach his chest, so she had to grab his arm.Her eyes became hot, and the sharp fingernails slowly stretched out, piercing his clothes.Doris bit the tip of her tongue to prevent herself from fainting due to lack of oxygen. Her cold nails gradually scratched his arm. Joey Love hissed in pain, and then tightened his hand even more.
On the verge of losing consciousness, Doris suddenly felt a burst of coolness soothing the tingling and dryness of her throat.
She opened her eyes.
It's the heart of the ocean!
It's on Joey Love!
At this moment, Doris actually still had the thoughts to describe in her mind the scene of him stealing the heart of the ocean.Her brain was spinning rapidly, while secretly absorbing the energy of the heart of the ocean, while planning how to get out.
Seeing that the person pinched by his hands had gradually regained his clarity, Qiaoiloff panicked almost imperceptibly.
— After all, this is not an ordinary weak woman.
Doris's hand gripped harder, and the clothes on Joeylov's arm also seeped blood.The throbbing pain at the wound made him gasp, Doris took the opportunity to raise her leg and kicked him hard in the chest.
Joey Love groaned in pain and let go.Doris's feet were also tingling, she bit the tip of her tongue, seized the moment when he lost his strength, and scratched her sharp nails towards his neck.
The smell of blood permeated in an instant.
Doris's mouth smelled of blood and rust, and the tip of her nose smelled the smell of Joey Love's blood rolling.She swallowed the saliva mixed with blood in her mouth, and was about to launch the power of the ocean to attack his heart, but suddenly she couldn't stand still, and fainted before her eyes.
Doris grabbed the blanket on the lady's chair with both hands, thinking that her strength was about to be exhausted, she looked at Joey Love who was rushing towards her again, and tried her best to cling to the chair to stand up.
"boom."
At the same time as the dull sound sounded, the hull shook.
Doris stared wide-eyed and froze.
At this moment, Qiaoyilov seized the opportunity and pushed her down to the side bookcase.
Doris's back hit the bookcase fiercely, and the sharp book corners pierced her waist, and her eyes turned black in bursts.
The shaking hasn't stopped yet, and now Doris doesn't think it's because she is dizzy with pain that she feels the boat shaking!
In her mind, the picture of the carved door in the dining room flashed.
"Wait—" Before she finished speaking, Doris saw Joey Love's terrified eyes.
With the sound of thousands of books falling down, the bookcase fell down.
Doris fell down hard, hitting her head on the armrest of the chaise longue, causing a sharp pain.
The more intense pain came from her lower body. Doris struggled to break free from the bookcase and the hundreds of heavy books on her body, but she couldn't use any strength because of the crushing pain in her waist.
She looked back with difficulty, and saw that two huge bookcases had fallen down and were below her waist.
On the other side, Chouilov was completely submerged in the pile of books, only one hand was exposed, his fingers trembled slightly, and Doris saw the pure blue from his cuff.
By the time Carl asked for the third time if Doris was back, patience and reason were nearing the end.
Is something wrong with Doris?
There are too many enemies on board, but they still barely maintain the dignity of this nobleman, and they will not attack easily.What Karl is most worried about now is that Joey Love will attack his lover!And the biggest possibility is only Joey Love!
He wanted to discuss with 1900 to find Doris together, but when he turned around, he saw that he was playing the romantic "Wedding March" with the band under the ridicule and booing of everyone.Karl frowned, but decided to bring someone to look for him.
Carl remembered that day when Doris asked the crew to look for the "lost" pearl.Then he walked to the railing, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly dropped his pocket watch into the sea.
"Come on! Come on! Where's the guard?" he staggered and called out, pretending to be a haughty drunken gentleman. "Go get that thief! Somebody stole my pocket watch! Damn it—that's me. My favorite watch is enough to buy half a manor!"
His words attracted the guards on call at any time, and they politely asked what happened.
Carl lied casually, "I was smoking just now, and guess what, someone bumped into me, and I felt my clothes being ripped apart! How could such a person appear on the deck? I turned my eyes and saw that my pocket watch Gone? ... If I catch him, hiccup! I'll have him—hiccup!" He hiccups twice.
The guards reacted quickly and promised to find that person for him. When they heard that it was a tall man, they immediately dispersed.
Karl watched their figures disappear into the sea of people before he stood up straight.
What he did was just to muddy the water, and the only person who could really look for Doris was himself!
Carl quickly left the busy deck and ran towards the bathroom.
He knocked on the door from room to room, pretending to be a drunk and impolite alcoholic, accompanied by the angry ridicule of gentlemen and ladies in each room, his heart gradually cooled down .
Just halfway there, I heard a shrill whistle from the command room on the A floor.Karl's footsteps stopped instantly, he was all too familiar with that voice!During the original sea trial, the emergency stop of the test was due to a circuit problem and no warning sound was issued, which frightened everyone and almost caused an accident.
— That's the signal for an emergency stop!
Carl grabs the railing and looks out.
But the sea was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
Karl heard panicked footsteps on the deck from a distance, and the melody of the music became chaotic.He spat, turned and ran towards the stairs leading to the A floor.He ran with all his strength, and his intuition told him that something must have happened!
The ship was coming to an emergency stop, and the huge inertia made him almost fall down. Karl was clinging to the railing tightly, but he was thrown aside, and he could hardly stand up.
Cold sweat oozes from his forehead, he doesn't know what Doris is going through now!
Carl staggered toward the stairs, three steps short!two steps!step!
Carl's hand finally caught the escalator.He climbed up with hands and feet, but just after climbing four or five steps, the ship shook violently.
The shock made his grip on the escalator go numb, but Karl didn't let go and continued to climb up.
A loud crackling sound pierced his eardrums, and Carl nearly fell off the escalator.He was dizzy, and looked towards the source of the voice. For a moment, his eyes were filled with helplessness and panic.
——A huge iceberg passed behind him with a cold air, and the huge ice twigs protruding horizontally scratched the hull and fell to the ground in pieces.
The crystal clear ice cubes shone with a cold and dangerous light under the light.
It is as beautiful as a diamond, but in Karl's eyes, it is a cold devil.
A faint vibration came up from the bottom of the hull. Carl didn't know what happened underneath, but the dream that Doris had told him made him suddenly unable to breathe.He couldn't believe it was real, but...
The words that Doris had reminded him time and time again were broadcast and repeated in his ears.
"Unsinkable" now seems like a complete joke!
After being dazed for a few seconds, Karl suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly continued to climb the escalator and ran towards the captain's control room on floor A.
The Titanic didn't stop, it continued to drive slowly, but its speed was only one-tenth of the usual speed.Carl ran towards the front of the A floor, and he looked down at the same time as he ran.
People didn't know that disaster was imminent, they encountered an iceberg suddenly, and the ice shattered and fell on the deck. Instead, the young people screamed in surprise, picked up the ice on the ground and started an "iceball fight" ".Karl couldn't help cursing out, but the movements of his feet didn't stop.
He looked to the other side, slightly relieved by the piled-up lifeboats.
"boom--"
He suddenly pushed open the door of the control room. Both Captain Smith and his deputy were standing in front of the command helm. He didn't look back when he heard the sound of the door of the control room being opened suddenly.
Karl saw that his back was drenched with cold sweat.
"Quickly let the crew prepare the lifeboats, let the passengers board first, and be ready to leave at any time!" Carl shouted in a hurry before he had time to exchange greetings.
Captain Smith looked at him fixedly, without speaking.Mr. Ismay's voice came from behind Carl: "Mr. Hockley! The matter is far from that point! If we let everyone get on the lifeboat, it will inevitably make them panic. This is not a good sign!"
Carl turned his head, and saw the thin Mr. Ismay, smoking a cigarette, stretched out his hand calmly, as if to shake hands with him.
Karl ignored him and looked at the captain: "Do you think so too? Look - the iceberg has pierced through the hull! The sinking is a matter of time. Are we doing nothing because we are worried about everyone panicking? We are going to Isn't it just to save everyone at a critical moment?"
"You are right, Mr. Hockley, but we are still trying." Captain Smith tried to calm him down, "The Titanic is very strong, you should trust the steel produced by your factory, not to mention that our crew is still very strong." Checking down, trying our best to repair the loopholes, isolate the various power compartments, and prevent seawater from leaking—everyone is still working hard.”
"While working hard, don't you need protection?" Carl laughed angrily, and now he finally understood the powerlessness when Doris reminded her many times but was ignored.
Mr. Ismay smoked and said nothing.
Karl was so angry that he couldn't speak, he walked back and forth in place like a trapped animal.
"Mr. Hockley, don't be so flustered! You're walking so fast that I'm so nervous!" Mr. Ismay joked.
Carl took a deep look at him, and said in a low voice: "I'll say it again, ask the crew to prepare the lifeboat and notify all the passengers to board, otherwise——you and I can't bear the consequences."
"Hockley." Ismay flicked the cigar lightly between her fingers, "You are no longer the major shareholder, I think I can still have the final say on this ship! It is true that the Titanic needs a Big news, that's why we let the Titanic go full steam ahead, but the Titanic doesn't need another witty joke - we can't cause panic!"
Carl gritted his teeth, unable to control his anger, and swung his fist at Ismay.
"Ah—" Mr. Ismay let out a scream, but Carl's hand missed him.
His fist was blocked by another rough hand, and Karl looked towards the owner of that hand to see Captain Smith nod at him.
Carl's pupils constricted as he pushed open the public library door.
Among the fallen bookshelves and scattered books, a magnificent blue rose bloomed.His mermaid princess was crushed under heavy weights, her face was extremely pale against the background of the dark blue dress, and there were two glaring red marks on her slender neck.
Under her body, the sea-blue skirt was stained with patches of black, exuding a bloody smell.
There was a surge of heat in Karl's eyes, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.Trembling almost to the point of falling, he stumbled towards Doris.
"Doris... Doris... wake up! Wake up!" Karl seemed to hug her, but there were too many heavy objects on her body.His lips trembled as he kissed her cheek.Doris' weak breathing made his eyes bloodshot.
He stood up like crazy and threw away the books.He tried to remove the bookcase that was pressing on her, but found that this exquisite and noble solid wood carved bookcase was extremely hateful at this moment!With his own strength alone, he couldn't even move it!
Oh, God!One can imagine how painful Doris is now!
Carl had no choice but to retreat and throw away all the books first, and piled up a small mountain on the other side in a mess.
Suddenly, the hull began to vibrate again.There were ear-piercing screams and terrified cries outside the door. Carl expected that Captain Smith must have notified the news that the Titanic Red was about to sink. At this time, even if he wanted to conceal the truth, it was impossible.
Carl continued to move, suddenly, he found that the bookcase started to loosen!
The books on the top of the book mountain on the side also fell down with a clatter.
The boat tipped the other way.Carl's eyes lit up, and with this strength, he placed his hands under the bookshelf and lifted it up with difficulty.
Before he could be happy about it, the bookshelf fell in another direction.The entire ground tilted down, and all the bookshelves fell in the direction they fell.Carl has quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Doris's hand, otherwise, she would have fallen together!
Doris woke up stimulated by the stinging pain from being pulled by him, and slowly opened her eyes.
"Carl..."
Her feeble breath sounded like heaven to Karl's ears now.
Doris felt herself being hugged suddenly.Carl's embrace was warm and strong, and he held her in his arms, as if he had grasped the only treasure in his life.
Doris coughed lightly, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.The bright red in Carl's eyes was about to drip down. He hugged Doris and slowly moved towards the door beside him.He was worried that once he stood up with her in his arms, the boat might tilt even more at any time.
Doris couldn't afford to be hurt again.
He was in a dilemma.
Just when he was feeling desperate, two familiar figures appeared at the door.
"God! What's wrong with Doris! She...she..." Ruth and Jack hurried over with horror on their faces.
Jack stepped forward, skillfully ripped off Doris's skirt, and was punched in the cheek by Karl: "What are you doing!" He was extremely angry, his face was flushed, and his eyes were wide open.
Jack glanced at him, and Ruth rolled her eyes: "He's going to check Ruth's wound!"
"That shouldn't tear her skirt!" Carl blocked Jack's hand, "Ruth, you pick up Doris with me, let's get out of here first! Have the passengers on the deck started to get on the lifeboats?" gone?"
"Yes, Captain Smith let the ladies and children get on board first, hurry up! Let Ruth and Doris get on board first!" Jack explained hurriedly regardless of Carl's hostility.
Carl nodded, and stood up slowly with Ruth on his side holding Doris.He had Doris almost completely trapped in his arms, and Ruth felt a little redundant.With their other hands propped on the tables and chairs fixed to the ground, they walked slowly towards the door.
Jack cleared the way ahead for them, clearing a path through the crowd, allowing Carl and Ruth to lead Doris to the deck.
As soon as a few people appeared on the deck, everyone screamed.
The gentlemen and ladies were still standing and chatting in twos and threes, and no one was willing to get on the boat first.
"It's too cold today! We should go indoors and wait!"
"Yes! Waiter, bring me some wine. We are fools waiting to get on board."
"Oh! My Poppy! Look, he's frozen to death!" A lady hugged the puppy in her hand, rubbing its head distressedly, "What are we suffering from! It's so cold! God! Didn't the Titanic stop? No earthquake! No danger!"
Carl and his party were about to be laughed out of anger.
Regardless of the delicate nobles, they hurriedly led Doris to the other side of the queue waiting to board the ship.
Mrs. Strauss, who was older, was placed at the front, still in her nightgown over a thick fur coat.As soon as she stepped into the suspended lifeboat, she turned her head and saw Doris walking this way with her eyes tightly closed being supported by Carl and Ruth.
"God! What happened to her! My poor little Doris..." Mrs. Strauss almost wanted to climb back on the Titanic, but was stopped by the crew immediately.She looked at the two crew members who were controlling the gondola, and pleaded, "Young man, have you seen the seriously injured lady? She looks very bad. I would like to give up my seat to her first. Get on board!"
Mr. Strauss frowned, but he didn't say anything under the pleading eyes of Mrs. Strauss.
"This..." The crew didn't know what to do. There were too many people waiting to board the ship behind him, all of them were of high authority, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
Carl immediately stepped forward, took out a dozen dollars from his pocket, and stuffed them in his trouser pocket.The crew froze as if stimulated, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded weakly, motioning them to get the wounded on board quickly.
Their petty actions really made the people in the queue at the back unhappy. Mrs. Strauss glared and said, "I'll come down and re-queue! Since some people think this is unfair! The Virgin Mary will agree with me, this girl It looks very weak, but there are still people who can't show mercy!"
Her words silenced the ladies who thought they were kind.
Carl was so grateful that he couldn't speak. He took off his heavy coat and wrapped it tightly around Doris.Mrs. Strauss boarded the boat despite Ruth's persuasion. Then, Ruth stepped over the lifeboat, met Karl at the other end, carried Doris to the lifeboat, and found a wide place to sit down. .
Carl never took his eyes off Doris' face.
He still wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
He stood aside and watched the ladies climb into the lifeboats one after another.It was only when their male companions kissed them goodbye on the Titanic that Carl regretted not giving his princess a good kiss.
Next to his ears, 1900 and the orchestra were playing soothing music, trying to calm the restless and flustered mood of the crowd with music.Carl looked back, and his eyes met 1900 who was playing the piano in the crowd.
There was no panic or panic in 1900's eyes. After he nodded at him, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the beauty of the piano.
He was so calm, as if he had experienced these countless times.
Carl's eyes lingered on the deck. Little Edward and his grandfather were smoking a cigarette, standing far away with a group of gentlemen, and still maintaining the gentlemen's etiquette of ladies first. Among them was the friend Patrick from 1900, who gently comforted him. Mrs. Margaret arranged for the ladies and children to get into the lifeboat one by one in an orderly manner; Mrs. Bucket hurried over from the cabin holding her skirt, His eyes anxiously searched for Ruth in the crowd...
The lifeboats were being lowered section by section.The unskilled operation of the crew on both sides caused the speed of lowering the slings on both sides of the lifeboat to be inconsistent. A violent shaking and tilt caused the ladies to scream in fear.The scream woke Doris up.
She narrowed her eyes, and the familiar aura around her made her think she was still in Carl's arms.She opened her eyes slowly, but saw those familiar black eyes on the Titanic above her head, getting further and further away from her.
"Carl! Cough, cough—" She wanted to call out his name, but she could hardly make a sound because of the pain in her throat.She touched her neck, the pinched place must have formed bruises, and now even a light touch would sting extremely painfully.
"They'll be all right, Doris, and at your insistence with Carl, there are more than enough lifeboats on the Titanic." Ruth heard her voice and realized she was awake, and she squeezed tightly. He hugged her and comforted her, "You saved all of us! Doris! The ladies waiting for the first class have all boarded the lifeboat, and the gentlemen will also come up."
Doris nodded weakly, and she clutched the coat on her body, which still had the familiar smell of tobacco on it.She turned her head to look at Ruth, only to see that her eyes were already filled with tears, and a pair of eyes were shining under the light.
The lifeboat was still being lowered, and the uniform shouts of the gentlemen and the crew were faintly heard overhead. They shouted the beat, and the lifeboat was lowered at a constant speed and steadily.
The moment the lifeboat touched the sea, the ladies breathed a sigh of relief, with joyful smiles on their cheeks.After the side hooks were removed, suddenly they didn't know what to do.
Doris grabbed Ruth's hand and whispered, "Let them row quickly! The farther away from the Titanic the better!" Seeing Ruth's puzzled face, Doris continued to explain, "If the Titanic If the ship sinks, then when it drives the sea to roll, it will roll all our boats down!"
Ruth nodded suspiciously. She told the girls on board, but they didn't believe it.
Doris sighed, and Ruth had an idea: "Let's compare with other boats to see who can row faster! I think we are all people who have rowed boats on the lake before. Is it not enough? You see—their ship has already started!"
Mrs. Strauss nodded and looked at the group of girls. Under Ruth's persuasion and Mrs. Strauss' nod, they finally picked up the oars and started paddling decently.
Doris gritted her teeth, and with the little ocean power left in her body, she pushed the lifeboat to a distance.
Suddenly, she screamed out, and Ruth was taken aback by her: "What's wrong!?"
"Heart of the Ocean!" Doris suddenly turned her head and looked at the huge monster.The Titanic was the only light in the dark night. All the lights on the dozen or so floors were turned on. In her eyes, it was like a series of connected fires burning on the sea.
"At this time, you don't have to think about the heart of the ocean!" A woman beside her heard her words and said sarcastically, "None of us brought anything out, Miss Boardman, at this time, don't you Still caring about things outside of us? We're not going to...God!"
Before the words fell, Doris jumped into the sea with a splash.
Ruth was stunned. She hurriedly lay down beside the lifeboat and wanted to jump, but was held back by Mrs. Strauss.
Doris fell into the sea, as if she had fallen into another world.
This does not mean that there are two worlds above and below the sea, but that she seems to have fallen into her dream.
She tried her best to swim towards the Titanic, but she couldn't swim no matter what, and could only linger in place.This kind of powerlessness only appeared when I had a "prophetic dream" last time.She watched Ruth jump into the water, watched her swim towards the Titanic and quickly left her behind;
She watched the lifeboats being lowered one after another, but before all the lifeboats carrying everyone landed on the sea surface, the Titanic broke completely in the middle, and the heavy end capsized and submerged in the ocean. , causing a circle of ripples;
She watched countless people jump into the sea one by one from the vertically tilted end of the Titanic, and disappeared on the sea in an instant;
She watched the people on the lifeboats wailing and rowing to the distance, and the sound of arguing whether to turn around to save people came from every lifeboat;
……
However, she could only watch and couldn't move.
She could feel the power in her body gradually filling up, but it was as if a can with a hole had fallen into the sea, filled with sea water in an instant, but her body sank down helplessly.She widened her eyes and tried her best to row towards the Titanic, even if it was useless!
She saw the last sharp corner of the Titanic plunged into the sea water. Looking underwater, the behemoth looked like a sunken palace, sinking slowly but without hesitation.
Doris' pain, joy, shyness, and sourness gradually calmed down.
She can calmly feel that her feelings are gradually being pulled away, just like any indifferent bystander-everything that has been experienced on the shore seems to have been experienced by another person with the same face as her s story.
Doris was terrified of such calmness, but it was hard to resist.
She shouted from the bottom of her heart, but even that person's face gradually became blurred in her mind.
He... what's his name?
What color are his eyes?
What is his usual expression?
Forgot all about it, Doris closed her eyes calmly.
……
But how could that be forgotten?
Doris couldn't help feeling sad, she couldn't bear everything on the shore, she couldn't bear Ruth, she couldn't bear Jack, she couldn't bear the human brother 1900, and she couldn't bear to...
Karl!
Carl Hockley!
Doris opened her eyes, and the blue water merged with her blue eyes.
She waved her hands, kicked her legs, and swam towards the faint black palace.
The shackles that oppressed her were suddenly loosened, and she was at a loss as she looked at what her fingers suddenly touched—it was a pocket watch.
She scooped it up and brought it close to her cheek.
The ticking clock sounds like the gears of fate are spinning, her eyes
