And she herself was merely a slightly out-of-place audience member on this slapdash stage, trying to maintain calm and logic.
Accompanied by an ear-splitting crash and a sky full of white spray.
The dilapidated plane, now little more than a skeleton, plunged into the ink-blue seawater like an exhausted steel behemoth and was instantly swallowed up.
After a few seconds of suffocating silence, the plane wreckage stubbornly resurfaced, swaying unsteadily in the waves like a drunkard.
"Pfft—"
Enid spat out a mouthful of seawater. A small silver fish slipped from her lips, landed on her wet knee, its tail still twitching nervously a few times.
She blinked her large, azure-blue eyes in confusion, her long eyelashes dotted with fine droplets of water.
"Oh, dear, you're too adorable."
Victor couldn't help but laugh seeing her like this and reached out to wipe the water from her cheek.
"Am... am I still alive?"
Enid's voice trembled with the aftermath of a close call. She looked at Victor with tearful eyes, like a frightened little animal seeking confirmation.
"Oh, don't worry, sweetheart, everything's normal."
Victor quickly put an arm around her shoulders, patting her gently to comfort her.
"See, aren't we all fine? Little Goblin Aviation's crash service is all about thrills without real danger, with top-notch after-sales service!"
As he said this, he even shook the water droplets from his hair as if showing off.
After calming Enid, Victor winked and looked at Wednesday beside him. Though soaked through, her black gothic dress clinging to her body making her look somewhat disheveled, her face still maintained its icy expression.
"Need some comfort, dear?"
His tone carried a hint of teasing.
Wednesday shot him a sidelong glance, her eyes seeming to carry shards of ice:
"What do you think?"
"Then could you let go first?"
Victor grimaced and moved his wrist.
"I feel like my bones are about to be crushed."
Only then did Wednesday realize that one of her hands had been gripping Victor's wrist tightly since the crash began, leaving clear finger marks.
She immediately let go as if scalded, quickly folded her hands on her knees, straightened her back, and regained her usual reserve and composure.
As if the person who was so nervous she grabbed someone's hand wasn't her at all.
"Ahem."
She cleared her throat lightly, her gaze turning to the distance, trying to change the subject.
"Where are we?"
As if answering her question, the broadcast speaker on the plane wreckage crackled a few times. Despite the static, that shrill, cheerful voice sounded again:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you for flying Little Goblin Aviation! Our destination—the Bermuda Triangle—is just ahead! We wish you a pleasant journey!"
"The Bermuda Triangle?"
Enid's curiosity was instantly piqued. She looked in the direction indicated by the broadcast.
"Wow~"
The next second, she, along with the other surviving monstrous passengers, let out a uniform, awestruck sound.
Just ahead on the sea surface, the sight was nothing short of miraculous.
A vast expanse of sea seemed to have been cleanly cut away by a mysterious force, forming a depression—a triangular area nearly a hundred meters deep with incredibly regular edges!
Completely different from the turbulent, ink-blue seawater surrounding it.
The seawater within that triangular area presented a dreamy, mysterious, shimmering azure blue, as calm as a massive sapphire.
Most miraculously, the surrounding seawater flowed down the "bowl walls" but couldn't fill the depression at all, as if an invisible force maintained this incredible structure.
And right in the center of this triangular area, a huge platform, cleverly stacked, bound, and constructed from over a dozen abandoned ships of varying sizes and styles, floated steadily.
The surface of the platform was almost level with the surrounding sea surface.
Rusty hulls, tilted masts, broken portholes... These remnants that should represent decay and doom now formed a rough, fantastical, and strangely vibrant spectacle.
Like a floating, post-modern style ghost fortress on the sea.
"This is truly incredible..."
Forgetting her previous fear, Enid's azure eyes reflected the mysterious shimmer as she uttered a heartfelt sigh of admiration.
Even the usually composed Wednesday, a flicker of shock she couldn't conceal passed through her deep-pool-like eyes.
She slightly parted her pale lips, stunned by this mysterious and grand beauty that defied the laws of nature.
Victor, seeing his two girlfriends' reactions, grinned proudly, spread his arms as if showcasing his masterpiece:
"Welcome to the edge of the world, my dears! Ready to begin our real adventure?"
The plane wreckage drifted down with the waves, slowly floating towards the entrance at the base of the miraculous platform constructed from shipwrecks.
