Vivian's father is a very serious and old-fashioned man.
Probably people who study history have such a character.
He said that he did not want Vivian to come into contact with his research anymore, so he completed the renovation of the study room with a very determined will and added a big lock.
However, for the naughty Joan, lock picking is not a difficult skill to master.
He and Vivian had been waiting for several days, during which their father seemed to have been studying in the study without sleep or food.
It wasn't until someone from the university informed me that I had to pack up and go to attend an important meeting that I couldn't miss.
"Come!"
Watching the car disappear at the end of the street, Qiao An immediately closed the curtains and waved to Vivian: "Mom is going to attend a cosmetics conference. We have all morning!"
Before the two brothers and sisters came to the study room.
Vivian stared at the study door, wondering if it was an illusion, but she seemed to hear the sound of the waves.
The wooden door seemed to become moist and full of salty smell, and it seemed that the back was not a study room, but a blue sea.
'Supernatural power!'
Vivian took a deep breath and decided to check the diary carefully.
Through this period of study, she knew that books containing supernatural powers were extremely dangerous!
"Look at me."
Qiao An took out two small wires, inserted them into the keyhole, and gently moved them.
Click!
With a bang, the iron lock opened.
"Ma'am, please!"
Qiao An opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.
"My brother, if you can put your focus on unlocking locks into studying, your parents will definitely be proud of you..." Vivian rolled her eyes: "And... that's all.
, I will restore everything, but you must not be willing to accompany me?"
The hallucination just now made her know that there was a high probability of danger in the study.
And Qiao An is just an ordinary person and should not be involved in this kind of turmoil.
‘I want to protect my family!’ Vivian vowed silently in her heart.
"Of course..." Qiao An yawned: "Rather than reading a book... I would rather go back and continue to sleep. My gift has been delivered, so I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back. It seemed like it would be a great torture to look at the copywriting in the study.
…
Vivian closed the door, looked at the furnishings in the study, and let out a sigh of relief.
She came to her father's desk and looked at the messy draft paper on it.
These should be some random inspirations and ideas recorded while studying that diary, most of which are in pieces.
Vivian glanced at it and saw a line of words - 'Sevens Town'!
This is probably the area where the owner of the diary lives, but she doesn't know it at all.
It wasn't until I looked down that I realized it was a remote town on the seaside. Even now, it is not developed and has little production.
If you are not a person who specializes in geography, you may have to search for a long time on the map to find this little place.
Vivian sat on her father's chair, looked at the desk drawers, and opened them one by one.
When she pulled out the middle drawer on the right, a black diary came into view.
"I found you!"
Vivian smiled playfully, her expression immediately turned serious, she took out the diary and spread it out on the desk.
After opening the black cover, she found that the paper inside was yellowed, with some mold spots on the edges, and seemed to be a little moist. When she touched it with her fingertips, it felt like she was touching some kind of mucus.
It reminded her of slugs and made her feel a little sick.
But at this time, I still resisted and looked at the first page.
【April 1, 1306】
[The sea played a huge joke on me. In the past few months, our harvest has been very sparse... This little cod is not enough to satisfy me and my crew. We all have a family to feed. Although life is difficult,
But nothing can stop me, because we are the people of the ocean!]
"1306? About three hundred years ago?" Vivian said to herself.
At that time, steam engines and telephones had not yet been invented, and the whole world was shrouded in backwardness and ignorance. Naturally, fishermen were also a very hard industry.
In the absence of scientific guidance and steam-powered ships, fishing completely depends on the experience of old seamen and a certain amount of luck.
【1306, May 2 or 3】
[Wandering at sea for a long time made me forget time. In addition, I forgot to keep a diary for a while. I don’t know if it was this day... Today we encountered a storm and lost a sail. It was a really bad day.
It’s so obvious... No, as the captain, I must cheer up.】
…
【1306, June】
[Great harvest! The God of the Ocean has finally favored us. We can return to the voyage again. The flounder cooked by the cook today also seems to be particularly delicious. I miss Shataya. Counting the time, she should be giving birth soon. It’s a pity that I can’t accompany her.
By her side, this is the fate of the people of the ocean.】
…
【July 5, 1306】
[The ship docked, and I also knew the exact time. Good news. Shataya gave birth to twins for me. I plan to name my brother Owen and my sister Faith... Come on, Spot.
You will be responsible for the lives of more people in the future.】
…
Vivian frowned a little. This looked like the log of a very ordinary fisherman and captain named Spot.
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to turn the pages.
The captain doesn't keep a diary every day. He only writes something like that when he thinks of it or when something special happens.
【1307, March 12】
[Unbelievable, I caught a monster today! It’s hard to imagine that there are such creatures in the world. They look like a combination of humans and fish, with gills... Old Hawke immediately knelt down and said they were
'Son of the Sea' is the true darling of the sea, but I think it is just an ugly monster. I am going to take it back to the town. Maybe those scholars are willing to pay a big price for it, even if it is just a corpse!]
【1307, March 15】
[That monster seems to be able to talk? I must be crazy... But it is weakening, it is going to die, even feeding it seawater is useless... Old Hawk said that we will encounter a curse, haha...]
【March 23】
[The monster is really dead. Before it dies, it seems to be shouting something. It is a very strange pronunciation, which makes people feel scared... I plan to make it into dried fish, so that it can be stored easily.
】
【April】
[The curse has come true. We have found nothing since that day. Old Hawk disappeared last night...hell, how could he be missing on the fishing boat? Could it be that he accidentally fell into the sea while peeing at night, but those scales I found
