Chapter 26 Don't Go Out
Unlike mainland cities such as Backlund, Tingen, and Pritz Harbor, colonial islands such as Bansi lacked gas, and the street lights on both sides were sparse, and candles were wrapped in glass shades, waiting to be lit.
Unfortunately, the wind rose early today, and no one went out in the evening. The candles did not emit light within the scheduled time, and the road was pitch-black, only relying on the crimson moon looming in the clouds to illuminate the outline.
Compared with before, the gust of wind is much calmer, at least Klein doesn't need to be distracted by his hat anymore.
The thin mist gradually permeated, and the doors and windows of the surrounding mainly two-story houses were closed, dark and dull, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
Holding a dim yellow lantern in one hand and a solid cane in the other, Klein walked briskly on the extremely quiet street, approaching the Lime Restaurant pointed out by "Laging Flame" Danitz.
Woo!
In the mist, there was a swirling wind, and Klein inexplicably felt a chill in his neck.
He lifted the right palm holding the cane, so that the collar of the double-breasted frock coat became straight and erect, completely covering the neck.
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind!
In the screen, a black figure the size of a watermelon jumped out of the mist and rushed to his ear in an instant.
Without thinking, Klein swung his arm and forearm back and pulled out his cane violently.
boom!
As soon as the sudden black figure approached, it was drawn in the front, and flew backwards for a long time.
With the help of the light from the lantern, Klein finally saw clearly what was attacking him.
That's a head!
It was a head that had lost its body and was hanging from its esophagus!
The head was floating in mid-air, and the face seemed to be covered with mould-stained shriveled cheese. The skin that was dripping with yellow-green liquid was obviously loose and drooping, but outlined the outline of the bones.
There are only two black holes left on its nose, its eyes are white and black, and bulge out, and most of its lips are rotten, revealing bloody, sharp teeth!
Shit! "Lie Flame" Danitz saw this scene, his heart trembled slightly, and he cursed secretly.
Even though he explored many treasures,
Having fought many monsters, such disgusting and terrifying things are rare.
He didn't know when there was an extra classical revolver in his hand, and his elbow was pressed down, about to shoot.
At this time, he saw a pure and clear ray descending from the sky, landing on the head that was somewhat stiffened.
what!
With a scream, the shriveled and ferocious head quickly evaporated and melted away, leaving no traces.
How weak! Danis subconsciously commented.
Gehrman Sparrow, this monster is from the "sun" path? It's not like... It should be relying on magical items... I didn't realize it just now, Gehrman Sparrow has discovered the enemy and made an attack, it is indeed very strong... Danitz quickly focused moved to another aspect.
As soon as his thoughts settled down, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a similar head flying out of the mist from the side, trying to bite his neck.
boom!
Danis unhurriedly pulled the trigger.
The brass-colored bullet accurately hit the mildew-covered head, shattering the eyebrows of the opponent, who leaned back and stagnated in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, in Danitz's left palm, a mass of crimson rapidly swelled, and flames began to linger.
He leaned forward, dragged his arm, and "threw" the flame, letting it hit his stiff head with a bang.
The flames rose up, burning red, and the skin of the head quickly scorched black, making a whizzing sound.
However, it jumped forward without being affected, its mouth opened wide, and it was about to bite Danitz's neck.
This kind of change was somewhat beyond Danitz's expectations. He almost had no time to dodge, so he shrank his neck and rolled forward, barely dodging the fatal injury.
In his left palm, redness appeared again, but the flame did not expand, but shrank inward, layer upon layer.
In just one second, Danitz threw that orange fireball that was only the size of an eye while dodging.
Under his spiritual control, the fireball drew an arc halfway and accurately flew into the mouth of the shriveled head.
Boom!
With a flash of fire, the explosion cracked Flying's head from the inside out, and countless fragments splashed all around with blood.
It's finally resolved... Danitz stood up and let out a sigh of relief.
Only now did he realize that this kind of monster with only a head was actually not easy to deal with, and Gehrman Sparrow killed one easily.
The main reason is that the extraordinary ability of the "sun" domain can restrain similar things! Danis added in his mind with disdain.
While thinking about it, he turned his head and found that Gehrman Sparrow didn't wait for him at all. Holding his cane and lantern, he ran towards the distance in small steps, and the black dress was slightly raised back.
... Shit! Wait for me...wait for me! Danitz's pupils shrank, and he strode after him, not daring to stay alone in the thin mist and gloomy environment.
…………
Inside the Lime Restaurant.
Donna looked at the white porcelain bowl in front of her and the dark red blood clots in it, and remembered the strange and frightening feeling when the guests were eating just now, and the pool of blood protruding from the neck of the cloaked man.
Her throat squirmed, and she almost vomited.
Donna decided to give up this delicacy, even though the strong aroma had penetrated her nose.
She casually ate some salad and mashed potatoes, and waited for the wind to stop outside, only to feel that the wall clock on the wall was running so slowly.
Time passed by, tables and tables of customers checked out one after another, and left the second floor. The place became quieter and more empty.
Boom boom boom! Donna found the sound of them descending the wooden steps disturbing.
Finally, she found that the trees outside were no longer shaking, and the ground was covered with various debris.
"The wind has stopped!" Donna excitedly pointed to the window.
Her father, import and export businessman Uldi Blanche pinched his forehead and roared in a low voice:
"Donna, what about your table manners?"
"But..." Donna was about to argue, but Cleves raised his palm and pressed down:
"It's 7:40, and the dinner is coming to an end. Let's go back as soon as possible. There are many bad legends about the night in Bansy Port."
Every businessman who lives by the sea is more or less superstitious, especially when it comes to folklore, so Uldillo pondered and agreed to Cleves' proposal.
He quickly paid the bill, led his family and bodyguards, and went down to the first floor.
Cleves was about to open the door to find the way, when there was a sudden creaking sound from the next room, which made Donna almost scream in fright, and firmly held her younger brother Denton's hand.
A figure walked out, glanced at them, and said plainly:
"It's foggy, it's best not to go out."
The figure was wearing a black tuxedo, no hat, a pair of glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a fleshy, almost round face.
"Mr. Fox, what do you want to express?" Cleves recognized the owner of the Lime Restaurant.
Fox said without expression:
"In Bansi, nights of heavy fog and severe weather changes, it is best not to go out and not respond to knocks on the door, otherwise, something bad may happen to you."
"Someone has already left!" Donna emphasized loudly, becoming more frightened the more she heard.
Fox pointed to the various rooms on the first floor:
"They chose to stay overnight."
Squeak! bang!
As soon as Fox finished speaking, the doors opened one after another lightly or hard. The gentlemen and ladies who came to the door before quietly watched the Donna family who wanted to leave.
"Perhaps, we should respect the customs here." Uldi Blanche said after consideration, "Staying here for one night will not delay our boarding."
According to Cleves' original experience, at this time, he should follow Fox's suggestion and stay overnight at the Lime Restaurant, but he thought of Gehrman Sparrow's reminder, that is a person who can guard the "flame" A reminder from a powerful adventurer in Nyx!
There are hidden dangers in Bansi Port... I didn't specify whether it was indoors or outdoors... Cleves quickly made a decision and said to Urdi:
"Mr. Blanche, please trust my profession."
"Yeah, I've seen a lot of folk customs, but none of them have any real effect." Another bodyguard, Teague, echoed.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden thud thump sound from the restaurant's door, and there were continuous screams in the distance.
"Look, there is a knocking sound, don't respond." Fox said a word in a slow and slow manner.
Urdi's heart trembled, and he had to choose to stay overnight.
Donna glanced at the gentlemen and ladies standing at their respective doors, and felt that their eyes were indescribably strange.
"No, we have to go back!" the little girl emphasized almost screaming.
Cleves also felt the unspeakable depression and the cold seeping from the inside of his bones, and emphasized his opinion again:
"If there's a problem, it's more dangerous to stay here, with guns on board, sailors with guns and knives."
This reason convinced Uldi, who motioned for Cleves to open the door.
Cleves waited for the knocking to die down, then held the gun in one hand, pulled back with the other, and opened the door.
The wind outside is low, the darkness is deep, and the mist is filled, as if there are many monsters hiding.
Donna took her younger brother Denton, hid behind Cecil, and left the restaurant step by step.
bang!
The door of the restaurant was suddenly closed, making it impossible for them to return.
At this time, they were like ships in a storm, and they were the only ones left in the world.
Cleves was walking ahead with a lantern in hand, when he suddenly saw something flying over, hit the ground, and rolled a few times.
Tang Na and the others looked subconsciously, and suddenly made a sound of panic.
That was a shriveled, musty head!
Then, they saw the light.
Light fell from the sky, and the disgusting head disappeared.
"This..." Urdi and others swallowed their saliva with difficulty, their bodies trembling.
At this moment, they saw a dim yellow light approaching from the depths of the fog.
It was a figure carrying a lantern, with a neat half-height silk top hat, and a double-breasted long dress that was the same color as the night. His face was sharp and sharp, revealing an obvious sense of sharpness in his sternness.
"Uncle Sparrow!" Donna and Denton exclaimed.
They just feel that their minds become stable at once.
Klein threw the lantern to Danitz beside him, carried his cane over, and calmly said to Cleves and the others:
"Go to the telegraph office first.
"Where's the Dimordo family?"
