Fortune Teller.

According to previous experience and speculation, usually when the sea appears abnormal, when the sky darkens, monsters are about to appear. At this time, there is a strange phenomenon on the sea, and they must get everything ready before the sky darkens.

After Patriarch Yuan put away his things, he began to prepare his own things. Magic tools and spells were all ready-made, and the blood of their demon-killing family also contained poisons that could restrain monsters. Now, we just waited for that opportunity.

However, just as he was smearing blood on the sword, there was a sudden bang, and then the hull tilted violently, and there were people screaming for help.Patriarch Yuan managed to stabilize his body with his sword, and heard Yuan Zong shouting "Father" at the top of his lungs outside, followed by the sound of panicked footsteps, and then saw Yuan Zong running in in a state of distress. For a moment, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a brief tilt, the ship wobbled and regained its balance. Patriarch Yuan supported the wall to prevent the second tilt, and asked with a frown, "What happened outside?"

"That monster appeared! Just now a tentacle as thick as two people flew over suddenly, and it directly divided our ship into three halves, and the middle part was directly photographed! Fortunately, our ship has emergency measures. The emergency was activated at the bow and stern, and the balance was quickly restored, but the middle was flattened and smashed down, and all equipment was damaged, so..."

So what, there is no need to say any more.When such a long and thick tentacle fell down, the inertia brought by the weight alone could smash the middle part to the bottom of the sea.

As for the middle part, Patriarch Yuan's room happened to be there, so Yuan Zong rushed over to find his father as soon as the incident happened.

Apart from the part brought down by the tentacles, Patriarch Yuan's room has half at the bow and half at the stern.Because the incident happened so suddenly, the people in the room couldn't react in time, and most of the people who were not killed by the tentacles were taken into the water.

Yuan Zong organized the rescue right away, but just as the crowd gathered there, a large jet of black water suddenly gushed out from under the water and swept them all under.Fortunately, those who went to rescue people escaped in time, otherwise they would be dragged down to die together.

Yuan Zong was in a hurry, if he was not held back by the people next to him, he might have followed him down.Afterwards, someone told him that not long ago he saw Patriarch Yuan go to his room, so Yuan Zong hurried over.

Patriarch Yuan was surprised, "How are the people in my room? How many have been rescued?"

Yuan Zong shook his head, and told him all the details before, with a very sad face.After all, more than a dozen lives, and they are all brothers who get along day and night, so they are gone all at once, and no one can bear it.

Patriarch Yuan sighed, "I didn't expect that such kindness would harm all of them. If I hadn't let them gather in my room, they wouldn't have sunk in the sea without even having time to react—Second brother Go and see that kid surnamed Joe, he is definitely not feeling well right now!"

Patriarch Yuan is used to seeing life and death, and has a lot of blood on his hands along the way. It's like this, killing more than a dozen people for no reason. What about the child who has experienced death up close and intuitively, and killed someone because of one more sentence?I'm afraid at this moment, you have already got into a dead end, right?

Yuan Zong was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he was so busy looking for his father that he forgot about Qiao Ran, wondering if he was busy, "Oh, yes."

As a result, after going out and asking around, no one knew where Qiao Ran was. Yuan Zong suddenly remembered that when he was looking for Patriarch Yuan, he didn't seem to have seen Qiao Ran.Could it be that he fell into the water with those people just now and was swept down by the black water?But when the rescue was organized just now, he didn't seem to see him in the water, did he?

Thinking of this, Yuan Zong broke out in a cold sweat. It was Qiao Ran's idea to gather those people together, but in the end, his desire to save people hurt them. Maybe he couldn't think about it for a while and jumped into the sea to make amends?

At this moment, Patriarch Yuan also came out of the room and told Yuan Zong to focus on looking for Qiao Ran, and he would take charge of the ship's affairs.

Yuan Zong nodded, ran to the other side of the boat, and shouted to the brothers at the stern, some of them should pay attention to defense, and the other small group should check if Qiao Ran was there.

Yuan Zong yelled loudly to make sure he could hear it because the disconnected bow and stern were thrown a little far.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Qiao Ran walked out by herself, also at the bow.

Yuan Zong ran over quickly, grabbed him and checked him up and down, "Are you all right? Are you injured?"

Qiao Ran lowered his head, just now, he fell directly into the utility room, where he heard outsiders talking, saying that those people all sank in the sea, and none of them were rescued, so he felt guilty, he blamed himself, I feel that I have harmed those people, and I have no face to face everyone on the boat.So he hid inside, unwilling and afraid to come out.

Later, I heard Yuan Zong asking the people at the stern to look for him. He had already killed so many people, and he didn't want them to be distracted from looking for him, so he came out, "I'm sorry..."

Yuan Zong was stunned again, he understood why he was apologizing, but he didn't blame him from the bottom of his heart, after all, his heart is good, but maybe his fate is like this, and it can't be changed, no matter whether he says it or not, the final result will be death, " It's not your fault, you're doing it for their own good."

"But they're dead..." Qiao Ran's eyes were glazed, obviously he had been hit hard, and he was in a trance, murmuring unconsciously.

Yuan Zong grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard several times, trying to wake him up, "Yes, they are dead. But I remember, when I first went to you for a fortune-telling, you said that only fortune-telling, not disaster relief , you are not wrong, but you are not good at eliminating disasters, you did your best."

Qiao Ran shook his head, still in a daze, "But, if I hadn't asked your father to gather them together, maybe, maybe they wouldn't have died. I killed them!"

"But your fortune-telling has always been accurate, and you even saved a person."

Qiao Ran raised her head, with a little look in her eyes, "Who?"

"My father."

Yuan Zong's words were true. If the room was not full of people, Patriarch Yuan would not have gone to his room with his things in his arms, thus avoiding disaster.

Qiao Ran's eyes lit up, but then they darkened again, "But I killed more than a dozen lives..."

Exchange a dozen lives for one life, no matter how important the exchanged person is, human life is immeasurable, this exchange is still not worthwhile.

"My father is the strongest here. If he wasn't here, there might be more people who died here today."

Qiao Ran lowered her head and said nothing.

"I'm not bored anymore. We still need your help. You can't do anything."

Qiao Ran nodded thoughtfully. He will help later, so nothing can go wrong, otherwise, he will really be ashamed to see Yuan's family again.
