Chapter 25 Bansi Harbor in the Wind
Tang Na's body suddenly dodged back, her pupils constricted violently, her mouth was half opened, and the sound of screaming reached her lips.
If she hadn't had the experience of seeing the "messenger" before, she would have been unable to control herself, and stood up staggeringly in horror, no matter whether the table and chair would fall over or not.
Fortunately, she was no longer the little girl who knew nothing about sea affairs when she first boarded the White Agate, her voice only slightly sharpened, she pointed out the window, and stammered:
"Yes, there are living corpses!
"Headless corpse!"
She used the most common living corpse in folklore to describe the horrible thing she had just seen.
Cecil stood up abruptly, walked to Donna's side in two steps, looked out the windy window, and examined it carefully for a few seconds.
"Nothing," she said truthfully.
Donna shrank back, gathered her courage, leaned forward cautiously, and moved closer, only to see trees swaying outside, debris flying around, and no pedestrians.
"Just now, there really was him, he was wearing a black cloak, he had no head, and his neck was bleeding!" Donna said while gesticulating, trying to make the adults present believe her.
Her father, Uldi Blanche stood up on the table, walked to the window, stared for a while and said:
"Donna, don't read that Fanci Horror Collection tonight!"
"But but..." Donna wanted to argue aggrievedly.
At this moment, Cleves went up to the second floor, approached and said:
"what's going on?"
"Donna said she saw a living corpse outside, a living corpse without a head." Another bodyguard, Teague, explained with a chuckle.
Cleves was silent for two seconds, then nodded to Donna:
"It's okay, it'll pass.
"It's very windy outside, and it's even more dangerous. We'll leave after it calms down."
In Donna's eyes, Uncle Cleves' words showed that he believed in himself and chose the safest solution, but in the eyes of Uldi, Teague and others, this was a clumsy way to comfort the child.
Seeing that Donna was still a little nervous,
The real employer wasn't too satisfied either. Cleves opened his chair and sat down, and said calmly:
"There is a strange custom in Bansi Harbor not to leave the house at night when the weather changes violently, and not to respond to any knocking."
"If you open the door, will you be taken away by that living corpse?" Denton, who had seen the bone messenger with his sister, asked suddenly.
"It can be understood in this way." Cleves picked up the plain water and took a sip.
It turned out to be like this... Donna settled down, believing that as long as she didn't leave the restaurant, she wouldn't encounter the horrible living corpse just now.
It wasn't until this time that she realized that the surrounding diners had cast their gazes over because of the movement here.
Tang Na, who was stared at by one after another, felt uncomfortable all over her body, and instinctively wanted to lower her head and avoid everything.
I did nothing wrong! I really saw it! Donna straightened her neck stubbornly and looked around.
She saw a gentleman in a tuxedo suit and a lady in a beautiful dress look away, and saw them lower their heads, pick up a spoon, and scoop the dark red blood clots with several spices in the porcelain bowl into their mouths.
Their lips were stained with blood red, and their faces were quite pale under the light of the crystal chandelier. The contrast between the two was sharp, which made Donna inexplicably feel a little panic.
She hurriedly turned her head, waited for dinner, and secretly prayed to the goddess, hoping that the storm would stop as soon as possible.

Bansi Harbor Telegraph Office.
As soon as Ireland and the first officer finished filming the information for the navy, they found the wind howling outside, and the nearby doors and windows rattling.
"Really, the weather here is always so unstable." Elland put on a boat hat, sighed and smiled.
His first mate Harris laughed and said:
"Otherwise, why would there be the title 'Weather Museum'?"
"It's best for you not to go out, it is said that you will lose your head." A staff member of the telegraph office, a lady with brown curly hair spoke slowly.
"I know, but I tried several times, and nothing happened." Harris was about to pull the door and leave without paying attention.
Elland stopped him, thought for a while and said:
"Is it okay to go to the church next door?
"Your telegraph office is supposed to be closing, isn't it?"
"No problem." The lady with brown curly hair still looked calm.
Elland nodded, opened the door of the telegraph office, and headed towards the Storm Church dozens of meters away against the wind that could blow up a child.
The first officer, Harris, pressed his hat and followed the captain, as if he wanted to express his idea of rushing back to the White Agate.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the strong wind poured into his mouth, and all his voices were suppressed tragically.
After hemming and hawing for a while, he wisely shut his mouth and stopped making obviously unrealistic proposals.
At this time, there is still a quarter of an hour before 7 o'clock, which can only be regarded as evening, and the door of the Storm Church is still open, facing the believers.
The strong wind came here and became much softer. At least Ireland and Harris no longer needed to worry that their hats would abandon them at any time.
Entering the church, after walking through the dark and forbidding aisle, the two stepped into the large prayer hall, and saw a man in a dark blue pastor's robe sitting in the front row, quietly looking at the stone on the altar made of strong winds, waves, thunder, etc. The huge "Holy Storm Emblem" composed of symbols.
Elland approached with a smile, and patted the familiar figure on the shoulder:
"Jess, where is your bishop?"
After being slapped like this, the pastor's head visibly shook.
Then, it fell forward, fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled continuously.
From the priest's neck, blood gushed out like a fountain, and drenched Elland's face.
A cold and wet feeling came into his heart, and the bright red color blinded Elland's eyes.
In his sight, there was only a bloody world left, and the head that finally stopped rolling and looked up blankly.
…………
At 7:15, Klein and Danitz, who came out of the first-class dining room, found that the strong wind that made the ship shake just now had calmed down a lot.
After thinking for two seconds, Klein walked all the way to the entrance of the cabin and asked the crew guarding there:
"Who else hasn't come back?"
The crew member saw the passenger enjoying the delicious murloc meat with the captain, and said without concealment:
"Except for the Blanche family and the Dimordo family who went to the Lime Lemon restaurant, all the other passengers came back before the wind picked up, hehe, it's farther away, and the meal time is longer.
"Ah, yes, the captain and first mate went to the telegraph office, but they haven't come back yet."
Klein nodded invisibly, and returned to Room 312 in silence.
He stood by the window, looking at the waves blown by the wind. Even if he didn't go to the mysterious space above the gray mist for divination, he could vaguely sense that something bad was brewing just by relying on his own spiritual intuition. happening.
After waiting for another five minutes, he still didn't see Captain Ireland and Donna's family returning.
Klein glanced sideways at Danitz, and told the well-known pirate who was lazily lying on the easy chair to sit up straight.
Klein looked away, walked into the bathroom without saying anything.
He skillfully closed the door, drew paper figurines, made a disguise, and came above the gray mist, ready to do another divination.
Before, he considered the potential risks of Bansi Port. Now, after the wind blows, he intends to confirm the current degree of danger.
"Bansy Harbor is in danger."
Klein held the pendulum and muttered the words.
After repeating it again and again, he opened his eyes and found that although the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, the range was not large and the speed was not fast.
It's dangerous, but it's within an acceptable range... This contradicts the previous revelation... Klein leaned his elbows on the edge of the long bronze table, and said to himself in doubt.
He quickly thought of a possibility, that is, the current danger is not equal to the hidden risk. Unless something is triggered, or something happens after in-depth investigation, the iceberg hidden under the sea level will appear.
This hidden risk may have existed for three or four hundred years, or even longer, and it was not because of my arrival... Well, the current danger may not even have anything to do with the hidden risk. Unfortunately, without the necessary information, it is impossible to This guess is used for divination... After finishing the interpretation, Klein quickly returned to the real world, left the bathroom, found a chair and sat down.
He was silent, hesitating, and didn't move for a long time, which made Danitz inexplicably uneasy.
Ever since Gehrman Sparrow said that there was a potential danger in Bansi Harbor, the well-known pirate had been a little worried.
The danger of making this monster change his mind and not go to the Lime Lemon Restaurant must be very scary... Why is my vacation so miserable this time? Just bad luck! Danitz couldn't sit still because of the almost frozen atmosphere, so he stood up and paced back and forth.
At this moment, he saw the monster Gehrman Sparrow stand up suddenly, and while buttoning up the buttons of his double-breasted frock coat, he walked towards the coat rack by the door.
Taking off the half-height silk top hat, Klein looked at "raging flames" and said expressionlessly:
"you're free."
"Huh?" Danis felt that this was not true at all.
He suddenly understood what the other party wanted to do, and blurted out in astonishment:
"You're going to save that captain, and those ordinary people?
"You, you said it's dangerous outside!"
Klein put on a half-height silk top hat, picked up a black hardwood cane, and while turning the doorknob, responded flatly:
"They worked with me.
"They kept a secret for me.
"He invited me to eat murloc meat.
"He helped me compensate for the loss of 'White Shark'."
... Danitz didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked:
"How much was the compensation?"
"A few soli." Klein opened the door and walked out.
madman! This guy is downright crazy! No matter to others or to himself, he is a lunatic! Danis opened his mouth half-open, unable to speak.
Fortunately, I am a normal person! I will stay where safe! Danitz retracted his gaze, thinking half-sneeringly and half-pleasantly.
As soon as he thought about it, the strong wind came again, making the glass windows creak and making the candle light in the house flicker.
Looking at this dim and surging scene, Danitz suddenly thought of a question:
This ship is parked in the port, which can be regarded as a part of Bansi Port. It is not safe, and it may also take risks!
I'm here by myself, I might as well follow that monster, at least, at least he's strong! Danitz's body was faster than his brain, and he ran out of room 312 with a thud, and finally caught up with Klein before he left the cabin.
Klein glanced at him sideways. Although he didn't speak, the meaning of the question was very obvious.
Danis hurriedly laughed and said:
"If I choose to retreat from such a small danger, I will be ridiculed by all the pirates on the Sonia Sea!"
An excuse... Klein didn't expose it, and borrowed a lantern from the crew at the door.
Carrying a dim yellow lantern, holding a hardwood cane, and wearing a long black dress, he walked along the side of the ship and entered the dark port.
While lamenting, Danitz followed closely.
