The storm had just stopped, and the sky had not yet broken. The fishing boats had already set off in the dark. Their destination was the sea area known as the Horn of Death.
As its name suggested, the Horn of Death was an extremely dangerous sea area. Storms raged, and countless fishing boats had capsized because of the strange storms. However, its rich fishing resources had attracted many fishermen to take the risk. In addition, the fishing production along the coast had been almost exhausted due to years of unrestrained fishing. Another group of fishermen decided to take the risk to sail for a living.
The fishing boat sailed silently in the darkness. The old bow Blue carried the young girl Milo across half of the sea and arrived at the shallow sea area on the other side. The storm had just left. Other than the slightly cool sea breeze, the surroundings were dead silent.
"Be careful!" Old Master Blu turned on the faint light and instructed.
"Got it!" Milo replied.
She took off her outer coat after casting the net, revealing the exquisite special diving suit inside. She skillfully tied the safety rope around her waist, picked up the harpoon, jumped back, and disappeared into the sea.
Milo moved agilely between the coral reefs like a fish, holding the harpoon in her hand. The light flickered back and forth at the bottom of the sea, but she didn't find anything that surprised her.
The first time she returned to the boat, there were only a few small fish on the harpoon, but the old man was very pleased to pass her the hot tea and take the fish from the harpoon.
The two of them cooperated like father and daughter, but they were not related by blood. The old man still remembered the first time he saw Milo, the girl who had nowhere to go in the storm, so he invited Milo to his little house to take shelter from the rain, and from then on, they were fated.
Although Milo had never mentioned her past, the old man did not care so much. All these years, he had always treated Milo as his own daughter, and Milo had never let him down.
Milo took a short break and looked at the gray sky that was about to turn white. Then, he jumped back into the sea.
Milo's mottled light swept across the coral reef. She saw a white thing behind the seaweed and swam over. As soon as she reached out her harpoon, she found that it was actually a white head soaked in water. She was immediately frightened and retreated.
At this moment, Wei Guanqing, who was treated as a corpse by Milo, exhaled. Although his code had failed due to a version problem, the self-repair function was still running at all times.
Milo thought that he was seeing things. Could it be that the person in front of him was still alive? So she mustered up her courage and swam over again, poking Wei Guanqing with the harpoon.
Wei Guanqing spat out a string of bubbles in a daze. Milo finally dared to reach out to touch Wei Guanqing. The moment she touched Wei Guanqing, she felt the body temperature of a living person.
"Pull him up!" Mi Luo carried Wei Guanqing out from the bottom of the sea and called for the old man's help.
At first, the old man thought it was a big guy. He carried the lamp to the side of the ship and saw that it was actually a corpse. He was so scared that his hands trembled. He exclaimed,"What…what is this!"
"He's still alive!" Milo said.
The old man quickly put down the lamp and pulled Wei Guanqing up.
At this time, it was already dawn. The two of them worked hard overnight and harvested a small basket of fish and a strange man of unknown origin.
Wei Guanqing woke up on the way back. He tried to move his limbs and found that they were back to normal. However, he soon discovered other problems. The equipment warehouse still could not be activated, and he could not make a sound. The whole world in his eyes had lost color, leaving only black, white, and gray.
When Mi Luo saw Wei Guanqing wake up, she asked him if he was a fisherman nearby.
Wei Guanqing shook his head. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only point at his mouth.
"Is the language program damaged?”Milo asked.
Wei Guanqing shook his head, but then nodded.
" Then let's go back to the port first. If it's broken, we'll just reassemble it," Milo said.
After the fishing boat turned around a reef, a pirate ship quietly appeared in front of them, blocking the way. A terrifying black and white skull flag hung high on the mast.
"Quickly turn around!" Milo hurriedly called out to the old man after seeing who the other party was.
With a thunderous rumble, the storm poured down again. How could the old man's small fishing boat escape the pursuit of the pirates? It had just turned around not far before it was hit by the pirate ship and stopped.
"Don't be afraid. We'll give them whatever they want!”Old Master Blu pretended to be calm and said.
The three pirates jumped onto the fishing boat with guns in their hands and scanned the situation on the boat. Old Master Bru wanted to step forward and negotiate, but unexpectedly, with a gunshot, the leading pirate shot through the old man's chest without saying a word.
"Blu!"
Milo shouted in grief and indignation and rushed to Bru's side, but dark gray blood was constantly gushing out of Bru's chest. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but a large mouthful of blood surged up. His dry and thin hand used the last of his strength to hold Milo and stopped breathing.
The leader of the pirates saw that Bru was dead, so he reached out and snatched away the last of the old man's electricity. Milo looked at the old man's body that had lost its electricity and was gradually fading. He clenched his fists.
After snatching the old man's power, the pirates shifted their gazes to Milo and Wei Guanqing.
A dagger silently flew out of Milo's hand and hit the head of the pirate. But before they could react, another dagger flew out and pierced the throat of another pirate.
Two people fell in an instant. The last pirate raised his gun in panic, but Milo did not give him the chance to shoot. He picked up the fish beside him and threw it out. It whistled and slapped the pirate's face. Then, his whole body was like an arrow, flying in the air and kicking the pirate off the ship.
Just as Wei Guanqing was marveling at Mi Luo's extraordinary skills, some of the pirates watching on the deck had already aimed their guns at Mi Luo. The moment the trigger was pulled, Wei Guanqing pounced on Mi Luo.
The two of them climbed into the cabin in a panic. With another gunshot, the cabin above their heads was shot through, and rain was pouring in.
Milo felt that something was wrong. He looked at his palm. It was blood red, which was particularly dazzling in the black and white world. Wei Guanqing was holding his abdomen, as if he had been shot.
" Red..." Milo said dully.
Wei Guanqing did not know what she was confused about. His own repair efficiency seemed to have weakened due to the code version problem. He had only been shot not long ago, but he had already lost consciousness.
Milo was still staring blankly at her palm that was dyed red with blood. Her distant memories were reviving in her mind.
Amidst the smoke-filled flames of war, a young girl with a face full of scars hid in a corner and trembled.
Gosselin, who claimed to be a Divine Servant, led everyone and appeared in front of her like a savior. He said,"As long as you join the rainbow light and support God's will with us, when the God's messenger comes to the world, he will bring color to this black and white desolate world. War and crying will disappear from this world…"
Milo had joined Rainbow Light at that time. She trained hard and finally became an outstanding member of the organization, making a huge contribution to the development of the organization.
However, from that day on, she never heard any news about God again. However, Gosselin's prophecy never changed from the first day to the day she left the organization.
" Wait until the day when the God's messenger comes to the world..." Gosselin's words repeated in Milo's mind. Suddenly, Wei Guanqing's face appeared in her mind.
When she still believed in Gosselin, she had fantasized about how the Oracle would descend. She had also speculated with her friends in the organization that the Oracle might have come from Tirste City. But now that Wei Guanqing had appeared in front of her, it was difficult for her to convince herself that the person in front of her was the Oracle.
"How could an Oracle die like this?”
Looking at Wei Guanqing who had no reaction, Milo chose to believe himself. Wei Guanqing was probably just a person from Tirste City. There were no Oracles in this world. The prophecy was just a flowery speech by Gosling for his own benefit.
As the fishing boat shook again, a few pirates jumped down. Before Milo could react, a musket was already pressed against her head.
Milo quickly turned back to look at Wei Guanqing. He was still lying there motionlessly. His blood had been washed away by the rain.
"This little girl is quite powerful!" The pirate with the gun sneered contemptuously. As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Milo's face, causing her to fall to the ground.
Milo screamed in pain. She saw a short knife used to cut fish beside her and was about to pick it up to fight back. Unexpectedly, the pirate's reaction was faster than hers. He stepped on her palm and crushed it hard.
"Ah ~" A heart-wrenching pain came from his hand, and Milo wailed in pain.
"You still want to play tricks?"
Another series of heavy kicks made Milo's entire body fall apart. He curled up in pain and no longer had the strength to struggle. Rainwater splashed on her face, blood and tears mixed with her messy hair. She was already on her last breath.
The pirate no longer had the mood to torture Milo and aimed his gun at her again. Just as the pirates were about to make their move, a deafening explosion tore through the sky.
"Target hit!"
The masts of the pirate ship were smashed into pieces, and the hanging skeleton flags fell down like fallen leaves. Not far away, a huge warship was slowly approaching.
"It's the Empire!"
The moment they saw the dynasty's warship, all the pirates panicked. They were like ants that had their nest flooded. Some hid, some jumped into the sea, but all of this was seen by the dynasty's captain.
"Catch them! Don't let any of them off!" The captain ordered.
Milo didn't know what was happening outside. In the last moment of his consciousness, he only saw the pirates who had been extremely arrogant a moment ago disperse in the blink of an eye.
The dynasty's warships shuttled back and forth in the Horn of Death. They had successfully expanded their territory to a new area.
-
When Milo woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. The people of the Empire had saved her, although she would not be grateful to the people of the Empire.
" Now that the Empire's people are here, our days are even worse…" the person beside him complained.
Milo stood at the port and watched the imperial soldiers escort the pirates onto the warship. Suddenly, her eyes widened. She saw a familiar face among the pirates. It was Wei Guanqing.
Wei Guanqing's hands were tied up. Under the urging of the soldiers of the Imperium, he slowly stepped onto the warship of the Imperium.
