“So much blood here… Look, isn’t this Sarah Bennett’s phone! It’s covered in blood!” Emily Carter suddenly screamed, then picked up a phone drenched in fresh blood, her face pale as she said, “Could it be that the paramedics took them away?”
This explanation was immediately supported by the others. A male student even managed a relieved smile: “That must be it. Thank goodness, everyone’s fine, and we’re still alive.”
“Yeah, all thanks to Mr. Scott. But what was that just now? Mr. Scott, you must know something, right?”
“This weather doesn’t look good, it’s so dark.”
Some others couldn’t wait and pressed for answers.
But William Scott kept staring at the bloodstains, then frowned and said, “There’s only one medical room on the ship. How could rescue have arrived so quickly? Even if they did, why didn’t they wake us up too?”
These people were clearly flustered. Faced with this situation, their first reaction was actually to think everyone had already been rescued…
Grace Johnson obviously sensed something was off as well, but still said, “William Lee, don’t be so nervous. It’s all over now. The ship isn’t that big—where could they go? Let’s go look for them, and check on the other students too…”
“Yeah, it’s all over now.” Emily Carter nodded, as if reassuring herself.
But William Scott waved his hand, and after two seconds of silence, suddenly asked, “Is it really over? Then let me ask you, did you hear the sound of the waves?”
As he said this, his face had turned extremely grim, and his tone was tinged with panic.
Everyone was stunned, and Grace Johnson immediately tilted her head to listen.
Outside, it was eerily silent…
Grace Johnson’s expression changed slightly, and she stood up and ran outside.
Very soon, she let out a scream: “Oh my god… Where is this?”
Everyone exchanged glances, and a nameless fear suddenly welled up among them.
In the pitch-black fog, the cruise ship, severely deformed by crushing forces, sat silently on the sea.
Within visible range, all they could see was a dark, deep, deathly still water.
Farther away, everything was shrouded in mist, with no end in sight.
Everyone was so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless, while William Scott, staring at the fog, suddenly felt an even stronger sense of dread welling up inside.
He hadn’t seen anything yet, but he was certain—the disaster wasn’t over.
“I’m going to check the deck.” William Scott suddenly turned and left.
He had a strong feeling that he had only foreseen the first half.
And now, in reality, the injured were gone.
Grace Johnson immediately followed, Emily Carter hurried after them in a panic, and after a moment’s hesitation, the others did the same.
On the boundless sea, the unknown and utter isolation meant the greatest terror… and William Scott clearly knew more than they did.
Along the way, William Scott tried to observe every detail he could see. Judging from the ship’s hull, the entire cruise ship looked as if it had been scraped hard by a giant piece of sandpaper.
He couldn’t imagine any natural disaster that could cause such a phenomenon.
The people on the deck seemed to be in a stupor as well, only now slowly waking up one by one.
All around were the sounds of quiet sobbing, while William Scott moved quickly through the crowd, scanning everyone.
He was looking for the injured he had foreseen…
No, not here…
Even that crew member was gone…
At this moment, someone on the ship finally cried out in terror: “My girlfriend is missing! Has anyone seen her? There’s so much blood here, she must be hurt…”
“My friend is missing too! I was just hiding here with him!”
“My little sister, has anyone seen my little sister?”
Amid the cries of alarm, William Scott stopped outside the café.
Where the couple in his vision should have been lying, there was now only a pool of blood and a scrap of the girl’s clothing.
He immediately thought of the scene where the girl had screamed in terror…
Looking at the reactions of those around him, it was clear that no one had heard it.
When she was screaming for help, everyone was unconscious, except…
“The injured!”
As this thought flashed through his mind, some afterimages suddenly flickered before William Scott’s eyes.
The girl and her boyfriend were among them, the girl still panicking and shouting, “Help me… help me!”
Henry Clark’s figure also flashed by, his eyes tightly shut, his whole body trembling uncontrollably…
Just then, a dark shadow suddenly flickered through the mist…
William Scott instantly felt as if his heart had been seized, an indescribable terror enveloping his mind.
“Ah!”
With a low growl, the vision vanished instantly.
William Scott gasped for breath, taking a while to regain the sense that he was still standing on the ship.
“I… am I going to die?”
He stood dazed for two seconds, then suddenly ran toward the edge of the ship.
“Mr. Scott, what’s wrong?” Emily Carter asked nervously.
