Countdown all over the world

Annie was already blindfolded when the sky was just getting dark in the morning.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

The woman who helped her onto the boat looked at the supervisor before turning around: "When we arrive, you will know."

Annie pursed her lips and said nothing.

Walking along the way is considered flat.More places are passed by with the carriage staggering.

Although Annie couldn't see, she could still smell the sea breeze and the fragrance of flowers.According to the speed of the carriage, the distance should not be short.

In other words, the place where she has always lived is not a short distance from the coast.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea breeze from the left and right sides of the pavement blew for a while before the blindfold on Annie's face was taken off.

"Miss Annie." A man smiled and sat opposite Annie, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

He raised the wine glass in his hand, in a state of complete leisure.It seemed as if he wanted to drink with Annie, but he just drank it with a gesture.

Annie looked at the man calmly.

His posture and dress all indicate his good family background and upbringing.But with a somewhat rampant attitude, his status must not be low even in the Seinmut family.

"Where's Sam?" Annie asked tentatively.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and looked at the people standing beside him.Pointing to Annie's nose: "I thought she was really as smart as you said!"

The people around stood with smiles on their faces.After standing up and down for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little stiff.

Annie trembled in fear, and with a look of suppressing her fear, she said sternly, "What do you mean? Where's Sam!"

Ryan turned his head and looked at Annie.Silent for a while, as if to appreciate the girl's frightened appearance enough.

After a while, he leaned back on the back of the chair, looking lazy.

He took a few sips of the red wine in his glass: "You know, we've been watching you for so many years. Please forgive me, I'm really interested in you."

Ryan said, motioning to the person next to him to pour wine for Annie.

He raised his glass with a smile: "To our long-awaited reunion!"

Annie picked up the cup in a daze, and raised it a little hesitantly.

Ryan was refreshing, simply raised it higher, smiled and drank it down.

"It's delicious." He praised, "Such a good year, Miss Anne, you should appreciate it."

Annie pursed her lips.

Ryan moved closer and said with a smile: "After all, this is the time of the ship robbery!"

Annie's pupils dilated a little, and she looked at Ryan who was close to her with a little stiffness, and she even held her breath unconsciously.

Ryan seemed to be pleased by Annie's appearance, and he tilted his head.He didn't mean to retreat at all, but moved closer to Annie.

He took a light breath, and a disgusting joy appeared on his face.

"This is the real taste." Ryan said with a smile, "My family has been looking for the taste for hundreds of years."

Annie pursed her lips, but said nothing.

Ryan looked at her, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted the hair next to Anne's ear.His eyes fell on the little mole behind her ear, and he smiled.

"It's the same as what I've seen before. You know, I hugged you not long after you were born!"

After all, Ryan completely ignored Annie's shocked appearance.It seemed that her reaction didn't make any sense.Or to put it more clearly, the girl's shock at this time was completely within their expectations.

Ryan waved his hand: "It's done, let her go down and rest first!"

Immediately after he finished speaking, two people stepped forward and untied Annie's waist.With an extremely polite gesture, Annie asked to move.

"The lounge prepared for you is here." The man said.

Annie looked at Ryan, who was still drinking red wine leisurely.Obviously, he has been completely immersed in the sweetness of the wine.Don't care at all, Anne's thoughts at this moment.

"Miss Annie?"

Seeing Annie standing still, the man urged her.

Annie nodded and followed him into the cabin.

The Seinmut family has a lot of background, even if it is just a trip to sea, the size of the ship and its exquisite decoration are enough to make people who come up for the first time feel admiration.

However, this does not include Annie.

No matter how big and beautiful the boat is.Landing on this vast ocean, it is just a flat boat.A drop in the ocean, so small that it is almost impossible to notice.

What is there to care about the interior, and the smaller people?

Annie smiled, and followed the man's lead to her room.

"Please rest first." The man said, and he was about to close the door and go out.

Annie said suddenly: "Wait."

The man closed the door for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anything else I need?"

Annie's eyes drooped slightly, and she sighed softly: "A few days ago, the flower arrangement was good. I want to put another bottle."

It stands to reason that in this vast ocean, flower arrangement is actually requested.Such a request could not be more absurd, it is simply unreasonable.Unexpectedly, after such a request was made, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said, "Of course, I'll send it to you right away."

Annie looked at the closed door and quietly closed her eyes.

Sure enough, not long after, a bottle of very beautiful flower arrangement was brought in.

Annie looked over, and couldn't help showing a smile in her eyes.As she expected, Darren was also on the boat.

"If you have any other requirements, you can tell them at any time." The man was very polite, but he looked at Annie with complicated eyes.

Annie narrowed her eyes, but still shook her head.

The man smiled and nodded, then backed out.

Annie naturally didn't miss the sympathy in his eyes.

pity?

What is it that makes him sympathize with her?

Annie couldn't figure it out for a while, so she put it behind her for a while, but she became more vigilant in her heart.

The boat sailed in the sea, but there was not much turbulence.Today's sunshine is just right, and there are no big waves on the sea.

What's more, this ship is also very big.Walking in the sea is also safe.

Anne smiled and took two mouthfuls of lunch.The exquisite fish steaks are arranged in a very beautiful shape on the plate.The two green bamboo shoots that accompany it are also crispy and delicious, which is very lovable.

Annie dialed the dial casually and put it aside.

Her eyes fell on the vase of flowers, as if in a trance.

Lane said he held her when she was little.However, she was admitted to an orphanage before she was three years old.

What happened before that?

Annie never thought about it.

But now, she had to think about it.

Who are her parents?What is the relationship with the Seinmut family?

Just as Anne was thinking, the door was gently pushed open.

Annie raised her head and looked at the person coming: "What's wrong?"

The man pursed his lips, as if he couldn't bear it.A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally became firm.

"Come with me," he said.

Annie glanced at the man without any hesitation.He stood up and followed the man out.

What a joke, what position does she have to refuse someone's request at this time?Of course, Annie didn't want to refuse.

On the deck, Ryan was standing next to the helmsman.In his hand, he still holds a very precise map.There are many notes written on it.

"Here we come." Ryan saw Annie's figure and laughed.

Annie came to him and stood still, pursing her lips and smiling: "What do I need to do?"

Ryan looked at her and handed over the map in his hand.Above, there is a circle drawn.And at this moment, they are in this circle.

"The island we are looking for is nearby." Ryan said, "It's just that after so many years, we can only deduce so much from that oil painting."

He looked at Annie, with eagerness in his eyes: "You are the only person who has been to that island. Do you feel anything special here?"

Annie was a little dazed for a moment, looking at Ryan like she was looking at a fool.

She put down the map in her hand and frowned slightly: "What island? I don't have any impression."

Facing Ryan's eager eyes, Annie continued: "Besides, I'm not a compass. How could I be able to guide the way?"

Annie's denial did not disappoint Ryan.On the contrary, the smile on his face revealed a bit of stronger anticipation.

That was the appearance of a traveler who had been hungry and thirsty for too long in the desert and finally heard the news of the oasis.

It was as if there was light in those eyes.

"You can do it." Ryan said, holding Anne's shoulders unconsciously with both hands, "You can do it, really!"

The strength of his hands increased unconsciously.It made Annie's brows frowned even more.

"Mr. Seinmut." Annie shook her head, "I don't feel anything. I don't even know the island you mentioned!"

Ryan froze for a moment, then withdrew his hand with a smile.Before leaving, he gently smoothed the wrinkles of Annie's shoulder clothes.

"Don't worry, we have a long time," Ryan said.

He smiled: "You'll feel it. I'll ask the helmsman to go around here a bit more."

Facing Annie's gaze, Ryan's face became even crazier: "Don't tell me, you haven't been to an island. You can see the reality of this world. I know."

Annie looked at Ryan's gaze, and for some reason felt a little chill behind her back.

As if, he knew—

I can see the countdown above people's heads.
