Chapter 114 6-16
Is Yu Ling a Christian?
Obviously not.
He has always been an atheist, and he has no beliefs at all; after he came into contact with Mo and this series of strange things, it is even more impossible for him to have any reverence for the God Jehovah who has never met in the West.
But at this moment, seeing the posture of the crowd when the giant ship was about to sink, and listening to the sound of the string music "Nearer My God To Thee", Yu Ling suddenly felt for a moment that he also had faith in God.
This was probably infected by the atmosphere of the scene.
"Aren't you running, Mr. Hockley?" Jack came over at some point. He couldn't go out and compete with women and children for the position of the lifeboat, and he didn't have the ability to actually get on the lifeboat.
"There's no point in running now." Yu Ling leaned against the railing at the stern, narrowing his eyes slightly.
When people get along for a long time, they will probably become somewhat similar.Yu Ling didn't know who he and Gu Rongshao influenced who, but they both had a habit of squinting their eyes.
At this moment, Yu Ling wanted to smoke a cigarette a little bit, maybe the smell of nicotine would dissolve the inexplicable complex emotions in his heart.Yu Ling couldn't tell what mood she was in right now, was she afraid?It seems that I am not afraid.Can you say that you don't worry about death at all?It seems that he is not so calm.
Everything he saw and heard brought him a great shock.
Not far in front of him, there was a priest in a black suit who was reciting prayers.The pastor's eyes were not without fear, but his voice was calm.On the deck in front of the pastor, there were many men and women sitting kneeling. They clasped their hands and prayed softly following the pastor devoutly.
The bow of the Titanic kept sinking, and the stern kept rising. Many people couldn't grasp the things around them and fell down.Yu Ling saw that the pastor was holding the roulette with all his strength, and his other hand was grabbing the believers closest to him, and the group of kneeling believers...
They no longer prayed with their hands clasped together. Although the voices in their mouths did not stop, their hands were firmly held together.
Is it decided to die happily hand in hand?
Or is it to hold the people around you and prevent them from falling?
Yu Ling didn't know.
But no matter what kind, he has a sincere respect for this group of people.
This kind of respect is not often seen, especially in Yu Ling.He is probably the kind of person who is very arrogant, but he has been hiding it better, unlike Gu Rongshao who has no scruples to show it.But he is still arrogant.
He seldom has any respect for those who are inferior to him in his eyes.Not to mention respect, I might not even have a slightly positive positive comment.
"You're right. At this time, we should try our best to hold on to the boat and stay on board as long as possible." Jack followed his gaze, and for some reason, the original fear caused by the shipwreck subsided a lot.
Young Mr. Dawson felt as if he had grasped something which, if he could live, would serve him well for life.
"You..." Mo's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The lifeboat is next to it, and it's not really that there is no place to squeeze in.
Yu Ling didn't move at all.
If it’s really not possible, just like the original Carl Hockley, it’s okay to hold a little girl up!
Mo began to doubt whether his choice was correct. Is this man a qualified target to be used?if not...
If not...
But he had no way out, from the moment he chose Yu Ling, he had no way out.There is only one collaborator in a catastrophe, and no matter whether you choose Love Tribulation or Thunder Tribulation, you cannot change it halfway.
"It doesn't matter if you are unqualified." Mo's eyes suddenly turned fierce, "Then train him to be a qualified candidate!"
Yu Ling didn't know Moyu's determination at this time.He stood side by side with Jack, clutching the railing tightly.The slope of the stern was getting bigger and bigger, even exceeding [-] degrees, and many people slipped down. The scene was simply unbearable to look at.
The smell of blood is getting stronger.
As the slope increased and more and more people fell, Jack's face suddenly changed.
"Turn it over, otherwise..." His voice paused, Jack didn't have any grudges against Yu Ling at this time, and he still had a small knot in his heart because of Yu Ling's previous remarks.But such a small bump is insignificant in the face of death, Jack took Yu Ling's hand almost without hesitation: "Turn over, trust me!"
Following Jack's strength, Yu Ling climbed over the railing and stood "outboard" in the original sense, which was dangerous.But at this time, it seems that the inside and outside of the ship cannot be easily distinguished and identified, because the hull of the Titanic tilted to a terrible degree, and the hull could not bear the joint result of gravity and seawater adsorption, and broke from the middle up.
The bow of the ship sank completely into the Atlantic Ocean, while the stern—or the part of the hull still floating on the sea—followed the sinking force of the bow, increasing its inclination bit by bit, and freezing At an angle close to ninety degrees, nearly perpendicular to the sea.
This made most of the people staying in the "ship" unable to grasp the fixed objects, whether it was a crossbar or a pillar, they slid straight down the deck and were completely swallowed by the raging waves.
And as if the situation wasn't bad enough, the brightly lit Titanic turned dark in an instant, and such darkness undoubtedly amplified people's fears.
Yu Ling leaned on the railing, watched the scene from above, and felt that the heart in her body was beating at an unprecedented speed.
"Are you scared, Carl?" Jack stood beside him, clinging to him.The voice of the young Mr. Dawson trembled a little, and he was obviously shocked by everything in front of him.
"No." Yu Ling licked his lips, he couldn't even feel the cold now, "No, it's not because I'm afraid..."
It wasn't fear. Compared with his current mood, "fear" seemed too superficial.It is something much deeper, much more complex, and much richer than fear.
"I feel sad." He was silent for a while before continuing to answer Jack's question, "It's sad for them who fell into the sea, and it's sad for us who are lingering."
The gigantic size that the Titanic was so proud of became a deadly poison for those who slipped.
Falling into the sea from a height of tens of meters?
The huge impact will crush the whole body of the person.
"...Yeah." Jack turned his head to look at him, and found the expression on the face of the man beside him...indescribable.
Solemn, solemn, even with a trace of compassion.
But at the same time, a faint sarcasm appeared in his eyes, as if mocking the ignorance of all beings.
Yu Ling felt his body trembling, it was a kind of physiological trembling, his lips were also trembling, and his breathing became short of breath.
this moment--
this moment--
While feeling sad and heavy, a sense of excitement rose faintly in his heart.
It seemed to be cheering—"It's finally here."
"That's what people do."
There is a voice in the bottom of my heart speaking softly, the tone is soft and silky, as sweet as honey with sugar.
It wasn't Mo's voice, but his own.
The previous laissez-faire finally tasted the bitter fruit at this moment. Although he suppressed the wanton desire to commit crimes, Moriarty's indifference to human life has been deeply engraved on his soul.
No, maybe it's not just "disregarding human life", but——
I will feel excited because of the death of a person, so excited that I will tremble physiologically...
He loves death.
He longed to see people's ugliness up close, begging or cursing, for him it was more exciting than Shakespeare's plays.
Impossible?Impossible, this kind of thing...
Yu Ling closed her eyes, almost laughing uncontrollably.
He's also... a little too stupid.
Such a self looks like a fool who worked so hard to dig a trap and finally buried himself in it.
The hull began to sink rapidly, and at such a vertical angle, begging and wails could be heard one after another. They knew that no one could help them, but they still chose to ask for help.
"Hold on tight." Jack stretched out his hand and pressed Yu Ling's waist, as if he was afraid that he would fall if he was too emotional for a while, "We will be sucked in by the vortex caused by the sinking of the ship. When I say hold your breath When you do, hold your breath."
He spoke in fits and starts, panting rapidly, and it was obvious that Jack himself was nervous.
Feeling the not-so-warm temperature around her waist, Yu Ling blinked.
"Swim desperately to get out of the water, swim desperately..." Jack swallowed, his voice was intermittently blown by the howling sea wind, and the only part of the hull that hadn't sunk into the sea at this time was probably the pointed end of the stern. Yu Ling could even feel the sea water splashing up, "Get ready—hold your breath, hurry—"
Yu Ling took a deep breath, and just as he closed his mouth, he was surrounded by sea water.
This luxury ship, which was said to be unsinkable, finally sank completely.
In the Atlantic Ocean on the night of April, the starry sky at night is very beautiful, dotted with twinkling stars on the splash-ink night, but the sea is very cold.The sub-zero temperature made people tremble uncontrollably, and the fact that the clothes were wet by the seawater amplified the coldness even more.
It's so cold--
It's not just cold in the bones, it seems to be able to freeze the blood, heart, and nerves——
Under such circumstances, survival in the ice sea is obviously not an easy task.But what surprised Yu Ling was that Jack actually kept holding his hand, and didn't let go when he kept swimming out.Obviously they can let go, but they didn't have such a deep relationship in the first place——
But Yu Ling didn't do anything else, he just swam towards the sea surface in the direction of Jack, the oxygen in his lungs became thinner and thinner, and they finally surfaced.
