Chapter 23

Four hours ago.

North Atlantic.

The waters of the Hebrides.

This is the northernmost archipelago in Scotland and one of the most desolate waters in the world.

There are surging waves, open beaches, dangerous cliffs, and no man's land on all sides.

The nearest city is delamberg, more than 100 kilometers away.

The city was used as a prison to exile prisoners during King Arthur's time, occupied by the famous pirate Drake in the era of maritime discovery, and became his home to escape capture. In the era of George I, it became a tax haven to hoard slaves.

But now, with the disappearance of pirates, the slave trade is abolished. There is only a sparsely populated Town, a town of 100 people who depend on fishing for a living.

Except for birds and herring, few other species want to visit this area.

But now, in this sea area full of cliffs, an old diesel fishing boat is breaking the waves rapidly.

There were four people on board.

The name of the fisherman is Teri. He is a typical Caucasian with a big nose, thin lips and a big beard.

He was wearing worn-out cowboys, knee high rubber boots, thick hands and feet, and a gray fishing cap. Dressed like any other herring fisherman in this area.

But he's not a fisherman. He used to be, and he's not.

Before the age of 20, Teri and his father were fishing at sea, but since he came back home after the first World War, he has never seen such a promising and stable job as fishing.

After struggling for more than 20 years in the sea area of his hometown, he now has a job with more oil and water than catching herring.

Smuggling.

Illegal immigration.

The hebdiri islands connect Scotland, Denmark, Iceland and Norway.

Since the outbreak of World War I, the number of illegal immigrants here has never stopped. Thanks to the desolate environment here, from time to time, some foreign vagrants try to use Scotland as a landing point, and then go to the British Empire from here, hoping to find a job in England, where the environment is stable.

But Terry knew that most of that was just unrealistic. After layers of exploitation, most of the stowaways ended up in a strange land.

For more than 20 years, Teri has seen all kinds of guests, but this time the guests are...

he is really unprecedented. As like as two peas,

sat on the deck of the sea with three eccentric figures sitting upright. What they sat in was the same. The sea breeze and the waves were blowing on them and hitting the rocks.

This kind of temperament is familiar to Terry. Only soldiers have such a straight posture.

But if they were soldiers, Terry didn't think it was strange. Because these three people are all wearing big robes, can't see their appearance clearly, and they are also wearing pointed and high hoods.

That's not the rags of stowaways. The robe was black and brand new. There's a scaly belt on it. Even in such a strong sea breeze, there is no chaos.

He had seen so many troops in the first World War, but he had never seen the troops of any country wear such clothes.

The only thing that can identify them is a red character on each of their arms.

Which symbol is a little familiar to Teri? I can often see it when reading newspapers in the past two years. It seems to be a workers' organization in Germany.

But Terry wasn't sure, because the people in the newspapers didn't look like them.

Through a wave, the ship gave a violent jolt.

"Which way did your morning guest go?"

Suddenly, the first of the three, the tallest, suddenly asked.

He sat still on the boat, as if his butt had been welded to it.

"Er..." Teri, who was thinking, was caught off guard. The three men hadn't spoken since they got on the boat. He thought they couldn't speak English.

"What are you talking about?"

"I asked, your morning guest, which way did you go?"

"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

Teri pushed the problem back. Although he was a smuggler, he also had rules. Over 40 years of life experience told him that the smartest way to live was not to mix in any contradictions.

"Yes? He seems to have given you a lot of money. "

The tall hooded man said softly, his voice seemed to have an inexplicable magnetism, which made people relax.

Teri, who was just on the alert, suddenly lost his eyes.

"Oh, you said that generous little guest, he did give me a lot of money."

Hooded man: "which direction is he going?"

Terry: "he's also on the island of Handa. He's going down the Tai River to the south of inland Scotland. There is nothing there, and many people get lost when they go in and never come out again. I advise you not to go in... "Pop!

The fishing boat went through another wave and had a violent jolt. The sea breeze was blowing, and Teri's spirit came back to him.

He felt as if he had just said a lot of things, but he didn't remember what he said.

In the rearview mirror, the three were still sitting like rocks. As before, there was no change in the expression.

"Hell..."

Terry mumbled, speeding up the fishing boat. He wants to finish this odd list quickly.

Fortunately, soon the boat arrived at the shore of the island. Lichen and moss are distributed everywhere. The cliffs are mottled sedimentary rocks and jagged rocks. The cliffs on the coast are covered with bird droppings.

On the shore stood two big men, smoking and waving to the boat.

Teri was relieved to see them. He is a cautious man and will not do anything that is uncertain. The two are his cousins who are engaged in smuggling business with him. Is a very reliable partner.

Teri stopped the boat, and his two cousins came up and beat down a rusty iron rod, and the other tied the cable to it.

Terry: here it is. The total price is 45 pounds. I'll give you a discount of 40 pounds. If you're going to take a car, just walk 30 kilometers east along the coast. "

With that, he stood at the side of the boat and waited for one of the three to come out and pay the bill. His two cousins also stood by him to prevent any accident. After all, what they do is illegal business, and the guests they receive are mixed.

The three men on the boat stood up, and the first tall man asked softly, "is that little man getting off the boat here, too?"

"Yes, don't ask. Give the money quickly and go. There are coast guards in this area." Terry said anxiously.

Ignoring Teri's uneasiness, the tall man turned his head and said indifferently, "ü berpr ü Fen." (check it out)

the other two went underground in silence. The boat dispersed and turned around. Looking around, one of them even took out a black stick to draw in circles.

See their style. Teri narrowed his eyes. There was a dangerous light in his eyes. He slowly lifted up his half wet shirt to reveal the mahogany revolver around his waist.

When his two cousins saw that Taili was not good at color, they looked at each other and put their hands into their pockets. There were two big knives.

Teri's a smuggler. He's got blood on his hands. He has seen dangerous stowaways, murderers, robbers, thieves... But no one has taken advantage of them in the past 20 years.

However, a scene that surprised Teri appeared.

In front of the tall hooded man's chest suddenly bulged, and then, a shiny silver monkey's head came out. It has long silver hair and huge eyes.

It climbed up to the tall man's shoulder in the hood, looked at Terry sympathetically, then closed his eyes and shook his head in the air.

Teri had never seen a monkey like this, not at all.

His two cousins were completely stupid, too.

Silver monkey suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to a direction and squeaked.

The hooded man nodded, and the other two men with the black stick immediately put it away.

The three of them went to the direction pointed by the silver monkey without stopping to pay the bill.

Teri got angry and pulled out his revolver. Click ahead.

"Hey, stop! What are you doing?"

His two cousins clapped out their machetes.

However, the three people walked in front one by one, two by two, with steady and firm steps, and they didn't mean to stop at all. The cry to him seemed unheard of.

Teri put his hand on the trigger, and there was a fierce light in his eyes. He is also a person who has participated in the war and has no taboo about killing.

Just then, however, something fell sharply and landed on Terry's shoulder.

Terry thought it was a seabird in this area, but when he looked around, he was immediately dumbfounded.

This is a creature he has never seen before.

It has a butterfly like body, but it is as big as an eagle falcon. It is green all over, and its wings are covered with purple horny protrusions. It has cold red eyes and sharp claws.

Teri was stunned.

Then the next second, the creature opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth and purple letters.

It gave Teri no time to react with a hiss. He threw himself on Teri's face. Teri, who had never seen such a battle before, was in a panic. He tore up in a hurry, trying to tear off the monster on his face.

"Fool, help me!"

His two cousins with knives are also silly. They don't care about the three strange men any more. They are in a hurry to help Teri open the strange creature.

The monster was so tightly attached that the power of an adult was useless. The monster opened its mouth, and the letter pierced Teri's head."Er, ah!"

Teri breathed out, feeling that all his memories, including his emotion and reason, were rapidly disappearing.

The two cousins were in a hurry and started tearing up.

But at this time, two strange creatures fell down in the sky and landed on the shoulders of Terry's two cousins.

After they looked at each other, they were immediately wrapped in great fear.

They don't care about anything, and they rush in a hurry.

They didn't run far before they fell to the ground. One by one, they struggled and twitched.

On the other hand, Teri didn't even remember his name. In the end, he pulled the trigger in despair.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

....

the smoke of the gunfire dispersed, and after a few shots, the beach fell silent.

Teri fell on the beach, motionless. So did his two cousins.

Teri's face was wrapped in green and purple wings. On the empty beach, there was a toothache sucking sound. Half of its body got into the head of the man in front of it.

At last, the sound of molars came to an end.

The green and purple creature pulled out its head and shook its blood. Then he spread his wings and quickly caught up with the man who only had a few small points left in the distance.

Soon after, the other two finished eating and got up to catch up with the host.

Only the bodies of the three were left on the desolate beach, and holes the size of a bowl were drilled into each of their heads, empty inside.

After the high tide, the bodies of the three people were rolled by the sea water, rolled several rolls on the floodplain, and disappeared without a trace.
