These two scenes connected with each other and rushed to her mind. Irish was so familiar with such a scene as if it had happened before.
Didn't the boy appear in the dream? Why did she feel it happening in reality?
There was no attack from the killer whale behind her.
It just planned to have a rest beside the pool.
It stopped there, and soon the other two killer whales also stopped there.
Hearing the news, the curator ran there. He was so shocked by the scene and just walked forward, "How's it going? Are you okay?"
While watching the show, some audience members tended to request to interact with the killer whale, and in very few cases, the trainer would agree under the circumstances that the killer whale was in good condition and the trainer could get it in his control. Some audiences even requested being held in the mouth, but it was just a trial controlled by the trainer. The trainer had had this case before, so he was experienced, but Irish was an audience. He was most afraid that Irish would struggle with great efforts out of terror, which would lead to being swallowed by the killer whale.
Ordinary people would struggle when they experienced such a kind of danger, which would only make things worse.
Joseph had sponsored this aquarium as a charity project, so the curator knew that he was extraordinary. If the case of being killed by the whale happened, the aquarium would be closed soon.
Joseph checked Irish's condition carefully to see whether she got injured or not. Irish seemed to be calm. Then, figuring out his terror, she covered his hands, "I'm okay. Really."
The curator stepped forward and asked, "Did you move just now?"
Irish shook her head and replied, "I believed that he wouldn't hurt me."
Indeed, she also didn't expect she would be drawn into the whale's mouth. Although she did want to ride on the whale, she gave up as the feeder introduced her details. When the whale opened its mouth, Irish just wanted to touch the little creature, but she didn't expect she would be thrown in its mouth. She had no other choice but to clench its big teeth. However, the moment when she fell into the whale's big mouth, she loosened her grip since she was clear that if this giant creature closed its mouth, her hands would be cut into pieces.
As soon as she loosened her grip, the whale closed its mouth while Irish could not see anything. In the next second, she felt everything go around.
At that moment, she did feel scared, but soon the story told by one of the members of her climbing party lingered in her mind. Once before, the man climbed to a remote place where the terrain was steep, and the sea was under the ocean. Although he was an experienced climber, he also encountered some dangerous situations. There was something wrong with the safety buckle then, and he immediately slipped down the mountain.
What was worse was that he fell down into the ocean and was swallowed by a big whale. He clenched something in the whale's mouth, although he didn't know what it was. In that case, he avoided slipping into the whale's gullet. He was so flurried, but he soon calmed down and tried to tickle the whale. Soon the whale spurted him out, and he successfully got a new lease on life.
Irish was reminded of the story at that time, but she then realized that it was not a fierce whale since it was domesticated. But once she was spurted out, she might get hurt because they were not in the ocean, and perhaps, she would hit the hard chair.
Irish believed that the animal trainer would manage to get the whale to open its mouth, so the only thing she could do was to calm down and wait.
However, when she got out, Irish felt her legs were so weak.
"I just feel a little bit dizzy," added Irish.
It was not until then the curator felt relieved. Joseph looked so anxious, and he felt so irritated, staring at Irish as if she was a naughty girl. After a long while, he then turned to the curator and said in a low voice, "I am sorry to cause trouble to you."
Irish was aware of his mood swings, so she hastily stood up, but she had to hold Joseph's arms to apologize since her legs were so weak. Joseph held her shoulders with his eyebrows furrowed.
The stranded killer whale on the shore suddenly called out, like a child.
"No!" The trainer yelled at the whale.
"What happened?" Irish was confused and looked back.
The killer whale made another sound, and it sounded a little wrong.
The trainer whistled and yelled at it in a harsh tone.
And soon, the killer whale returned to the pool.
Seeing this, Irish was so confused and couldn't help asking what had happened.
The trainer then explained that they would reward the whale with a lot of fish after a successful performance, and actually, it was a training method. The better performance, the more rewards. And the whale asked for fish just now but was declined by the trainer.
After hearing this, Irish suddenly felt regret for this giant creature.
"I can't reward it with fish because the killer whale is smart, and if I give him fish, then he might think he did nothing wrong. In such a case, it might happen again, so I have to punish him so that he would realize the mistake and this would never happen again," continued the trainer to Irish.
Looking at the whale, which was still wandering gently on the water, Irish felt that it looked like a kid who failed to get candies, so she turned to the trainer and said, "Why not give just a little fish to him? He looked pitiful!"
However, the trainer declined her suggestion.
Joseph clenched her hands and said to her in a rather low voice, "Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. Irish, you better shut up!"
"Joseph..."
"Just shut up no matter what you want to say," Joseph interrupted her.
As soon as they got back to the hotel, Joseph left Irish alone and then walked to the sanctum. Irish was in the dark and didn't know what to do. She turned on the TV a moment later to watch a gourmet show. She watched for a long time until she started feeling hungry. It was not until then she decided to knock on the sanctum door with a glass of coffee in hand since she was clear that Joseph was mad at her. However, Joseph did not give her a response at all, and Irish realized Joseph really got angry with her.
