Chapter 702 Do you think we are sirens? (3000 words)
But what frightened Yu Fengchen the most was not simply Fang Jin's hostility towards them.
You must know that they are mithril level adventurers. They have experienced countless life and death crises at sea and outside the ancient ruins of the island core.
As rabbit ears, they all have instinctive feelings towards dangerous enemies.
But now, they felt a strong sense of threat from the mayor of Xueying Town, who was unsheathing his sword.
This means that Fang Jin's fighting power far exceeds that of each of them, and it is possible that he can even defeat four of them one by one.
Yu Fengchen's expression kept changing. Facing the aggressive Fang Jin, as the captain, he actually took half a step back.
Not to mention the other party's identity as the head of a town.
Even in the circle of adventurers where strength is paramount, Fang Jin's aura is on par with those of the top steel-level team members.
Who is the mayor of Xueying Town? He is so powerful that he does not want to explore the ancient ruins of the island core, but is willing to stay in such a remote town?
"Mayor Fang, please calm down. We did receive the commission from Tianou Group in Awajin City to come to Xueying Town to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon King's army. We have absolutely no other ideas!"
Just when Yu Fengchen was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, Inaba Yun behind him stepped forward and took out the pendant representing the Inaba family from her jacket.
Ina Yeyun's face was complicated, and her tone was filled with deep helplessness and sincerity.
In fact, she doesn't like to show her identity to outsiders.
But obviously, in this urgent situation, she can only resolve the hostility of the other party by showing her identity as the owner of the island.
After hearing Ina Yeyun's sincere explanation, Fang Jin's expression softened a lot, and he put the sharp blade back into its sheath with a hand.
"Girl of the Inaba family, if you are not the island owner at your age...are you Inaba Yun?"
To everyone's surprise, Fang Jin called out Ina Yeyun's name directly.
Even though he was wearing a simple coat, the bunny-eared mayor couldn't hide his mature appearance and sexy figure. There was a look in his eyes, as if he was recalling the past:
"You actually chose to take the dangerous path of an adventurer, which is beyond my expectation."
"Mayor Fang, you..."
Ina Yeyun also didn't expect that Fang Jin actually knew her, but before she could ask further questions, Fang Jin had already returned to his previous indifferent expression and issued an eviction order:
"You just said that Tianou Group entrusted you to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon King's army. Now you can go back and collect your reward. Xueying Town does not need you to worry about it."
Seeing that Fang Jin no longer had any intention of talking to them, Yu Fengchen gritted his teeth.
No matter what, their mission has been completed anyway, and the message that should be delivered has been delivered. No matter what happens in Xueying Town next, it has nothing to do with them.
"Okay, in that case, Mayor Fang, we will not accompany you."
Just as Yu Fengchen finished saying this, he was about to return to Awajin City with his companions.
Suddenly, a countdown sound from a woman with a soft smile sounded from behind them:
"Ten...nine...eight..."
The sound of the countdown attracted the attention of Yu Fengchen and three other team members, including Fang Jin.
Only then did Yu Fengchen realize that there was an outsider in the yard.
Jiang Dian and Yin Lu were so frightened that they directly took their weapons in their hands and aimed at the rabbit-eared woman who was leaning against the wall of the house inside the courtyard, hiding her whole body under a white hooded cloak.
If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to make a sound, they wouldn't have noticed that this person was still in the yard.
What kind of terrifying ability is this to mask the aura?
But then, Fang Jin seemed to have guessed something, and shouted with excitement:
"Lord Gods! Are the gods willing to help?"
God?
Yu Fengchen and the four others' pupils shrank sharply, and even their hearts stopped for half a beat.
Could this woman from the Rabbit Ear Tribe, who possesses extremely powerful aura-concealing skills, be the deity of Xueying Town mentioned by the rumors Yin Lu collected in the slums of Awajin City?
Moreover, what Fang Jin was talking about was "the gods". Could it be that there was... more than one god?
But before they could react to this extremely shocking situation, the countdown from the mysterious rabbit-eared woman had come to an end.
"Three...two...one."
"clatter."
"God" didn't say much, he just raised his hand and made a crisp finger snap.
The next second, as if in response to the snap of the fingers of the "gods", a rolling muffled thunder suddenly came from the night sky that was obviously without a trace of clouds.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
One after another, low thunder roared from the direction of the ocean, like the earth trembling during an earthquake, as if the entire space was vibrating.
Even this kind of movement caused the residents of Xueying Town who were still fleeing to stop in a daze and turned to look at the deep ocean.
But unfortunately, they could only see a faint orange-yellow flame flickering in the distance on the sea under the night sky.
It was as if the gods from the highest heaven had used mighty power that did not belong to this world to judge and punish the incoming disaster.
"What on earth is this sound? Is it the sound of a warship's gunfire? How is this possible?"
Cold sweat had soaked Yu Fengchen's clothes, and the constant thunder echoed in his ears.
Such a strange situation in Xueying Town has made him, who considers himself a senior adventurer, completely lose his ability to judge.
He and Inaba Yun had seen Tianou Group's fleet training, and the sound was almost exactly the same as the main guns of those iron-framed warships firing.
Jiang Dian's face was pale and his whole body was trembling. The words he yelled made Yu Fengchen take a breath:
"S-Siren? This sound is the same as the Siren's attack!"
That’s right!
Sirens!
Yu Fengchen suddenly recalled the terrifying sound of gunfire when the sirens attacked the monsters from a distance when they were guarding the sea two years ago.
At that time, the humanoid siren used thunderous artillery fire to blow up a terrifying large ocean monster to pieces with one blow!
"Huhu~ As expected, the commander personally took action. Did Shenzi-sama and Mikasa-sempai also come together?"
"Yeah, I see...Okay Canglong, I understand~"
While Yu Fengchen and the others were wondering what happened on the sea in panic, this "god" who seemed to be talking to someone still had a calm smile in his tone.
After saying this, the masked "god" slowly walked from the wall, looked at Fang Jin with his tawny eyes, and said calmly:
"Mayor Fang, the Demon King's Army will no longer come to Xueying Town. You can arrange for all the townspeople to come back."
"Thank you very much to the gods. I don't know how many times I have done this. I, I really don't know how to repay you..."
Upon hearing that the crisis in the Demon King's Army had been resolved, Fang Jin, regardless of whether it was true or not, actually knelt on the ground with great piety towards the masked "god" under the shocked eyes of Yu Fengchen and others.
"Oh, we have said it many times, Mayor Fang, stop calling us gods."
"But our leader we told you before has returned. He should come to visit you recently, hehehe~"
The god's light figure passed by the four people and walked to Fang Jin. He leaned over and helped the mayor of Xueying Town up.
At the same time, she also took off her hood and veil that covered her face, revealing her beautiful long brown hair and her beautiful young face.
If Lin Lan were here, he would definitely recognize this gentle rabbit-eared ship girl at a glance.
The second ship of the Tone-class heavy cruiser Juezakura, the strongest intelligence agent of Juezakura, Tsukuma.
"Lord God, you are so polite. To us in Xueying Town, you and your friends are the living gods in our eyes."
"I will pay homage to the leader of the gods with the highest etiquette, please rest assured."
Facing the gentle Zhumo, Fang Jin was still stubborn and unwilling to change his title, and his tone could be described as pious and respectful to the extreme.
Compared with when he faced the soldiers or Yu Fengchen and others just now, Fang Jin's attitude was completely different.
In response, Tsukuma just smiled helplessly and stopped trying to dissuade him too much.
The mayor of Xueying Town was just as resistant to them as he was to the four adventurers at the beginning.
But later, as they took action to deal with the monsters that attacked Xueying Town several times, Shiranui used Rubik's Cube technology to heal Fang Jin's old injuries.
There were all kinds of other things combined, which made the mayor sincerely approve of them.
But is it too much to think of them as gods?
Tsukuma thought in his mind and turned around to look at the four adventurers who were still in a daze.
"P-Excuse me, are you... a siren?"
After seeing clearly the appearance of the beautiful rabbit-eared woman who was looking at them, a terrifying thought flashed through Yu Fengchen's mind.
Not just him, Jiang Dian, who asked, felt that the air around him became thicker, and even addressed him as "you" like Fang Jin.
Yes, everything is explained.
He has the power to easily defeat the Demon King's army, he looks so beautiful, and the sound of cannons still echoing on the sea...
In their knowledge, the only existence that can fit all of this is the Siren.
"Haha, siren...what do you think?"
After Tsukuma heard the four adventurers' guesses about her identity, she couldn't help but feel funny.
But she also knew that the Siren did not conduct chess piece experiments in Liaozhou, and it was normal for the people of Liaozhou not to know about their existence.
As a Shigesakura shipgirl who is specifically responsible for intelligence, Tsukuma naturally understands how important the concealment of intelligence is.
She also has a lot of latest information about Awazu Castle that she wants to obtain from these four adventurers.
Especially why Tianou Group predicted in advance that the Demon King's army would attack Xueying Town.
Thinking of this, Tsukuma's lips inadvertently evoked a smirk.
Since Siren was once able to use chess pieces to destroy the trust between their camps, it is not impossible to borrow Siren's identity now.
The thank-you words for Chapter 100 are in the author's words in the next chapter.
