Chapter 12 Strange Town
Originally, Lin Tian thought that there were people outside this small town, but he didn't expect to see no one on the outside.
At this time, Lin Tian was shrinking in the lush grass, and ten steps away was a two-storey small building. He put his long sword in the grass, and after hiding it, Lin Tian swaggered towards the small building.
After finding no one around, Lin Tian quickly climbed to the top of the building, and then walked towards the center of the town.
The most prosperous place in a small town is the center of the town. Looking outside, Lin Tian found that the town didn't look like it was under attack at all. It was a peaceful and calm town. But Lin Tian just felt that something was wrong.
Along the way, Lin Tian walked on the roof of the house. Due to the height of the station, Lin Tian's vision is relatively wider. At a glance, Lin Tian can clearly see the specific conditions of several streets.
Lin Tian found that there is no problem at all in this small town, it is very peaceful and calm, and basically every house has lights on. Just in case, Lin Tian sneaked into several houses and looked inside, and there were people inside.
Since the town is so peaceful, it has not been attacked at all. So why did the distress signal come from here? Could it be a prank, Lin Tian thought spoofingly.
But in a blink of an eye, Lin Tian passed this possibility. In the sea, the consequences of sending out distress signals indiscriminately are very serious. As long as this person has no brain problems, he won't do this kind of thing. If it is discovered by the navy, the individual cannot bear the consequences at all.
This town is only built on a small island, and it is not very big at all. If Lin Tian didn't want to get more information, he would have reached the center of the town long ago.
It is not so much a town center as a square. Most town centers in this world will build a large square to hold some activities.
When Lin Tian arrived at the square, there was no one in the square in front of him, only countless street lights were still on.
Along the way, Lin Tian finally found out that something was wrong. That is, Lin Tian didn't see anyone outside, and the whole town stayed in the room. And all the shops in this town are closed.
Although it is evening, most people will stay at home and eat. But it doesn't mean that no one can go out, and even all the shops are closed, which is too abnormal.
It stands to reason that many shops are open at night. And most people, after eating at night, will also go out for a walk and go shopping. But now let alone the shadows of people, there is not even a shadow of a dog.
The word 'curfew' popped up in Lin Tian's mind involuntarily, and the current scene is very similar to the curfew. These townspeople seemed to be threatened by something, they couldn't go out at night, they could only stay in their own homes.
Just when Lin Tian was about to go down, he found a townsman to ask what was going on, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps from behind, Lin Tian quickly retracted his stretched body.
Lin Tian looked in the direction of the footsteps, and saw a little girl running out from the corner of the street.
The girl was wearing a dress, her expression flustered, her little head kept looking behind her. It seemed that there was something terrifying behind him, chasing after him.
Seeing that it was a little girl, Lin Tian didn't go out immediately. Because the footsteps that Lin Tian heard could not be made by a little girl, there are people behind, Lin Tian is going to hide first to see the situation.
Sure enough, it didn't take long, just as Lin Tian expected. Before the little girl ran far, two figures also ran out from the corner, chasing the girl with a knife in their hands.
When Lin Tian saw the decorations of these two people, he instantly recognized them as pirates. Seeing these two pirates, Lin Tian knew that his deduction was correct, the distress signal was indeed the bait sent by the pirates.
This small town looks so peaceful on the surface, but it is secretly controlled by pirates.
The behavior of the residents of the entire town is under the control of the pirates, and they are forced to accept the oppression of the pirates.
However, Lin Tian found that he still had a lot of things he didn't understand, just like these pirates controlled the town, but nothing was damaged, and after searching for a long time, he found that these two pirates, the rest of the pirates Thieves do not know where to go.
However, a person fell from the sky to solve the problem for himself. Just ask the little girl below and she'll know all about it.
The little girl ran forward at a faster speed when she found the pirate following her. But this is just a child after all, how could he outrun two ferocious pirates.
Just when the little girl ran downstairs where Lin Tian was hiding, the two pirates behind were only one step away from the little girl.
"Smelly brat, stop for me, I will make my uncle run out at night."
"Little devil, you can't run away from us."
Feeling the sound so close at hand, the little girl became flustered, unable to see the path under her feet clearly. He was caught by a stone and fell directly to the ground.
As soon as the little girl fell, she was immediately overtaken by the pirates behind. The little girl looked at the pirates who were walking in step by step, and wanted to get up, but her feet were sprained, so she couldn't stand up at all.
Looking at the little girl who fell to the ground, the pirate smiled ferociously.
"Smelly brat, how dare you run out alone. We don't want to kill you this time, but there is no way. The higher-ups have issued an order to kill you, so that those village names will see what happens when they go against us."
Another pirate said impatiently: "Hurry up, why are you talking so much to this brat, finish the work early. If we come back late, Lord Potter won't let us off easily."
Reminded by another pirate, the pirate trembled involuntarily when he thought of Lord Potter's terror. If Master Potter gets angry, he is really dead. Raising the knife in his hand, he slashed at the little girl on the ground fiercely.
Seeing the knife being cut at her, the little girl hugged her head with both hands in fear, trembling all over.
The little girl holding her head thought she was going to die now, but after waiting for a long time, she was still fine. The little girl slowly raised her head to look, and saw a child not much older than herself, looking at her with a smile on her face.
But the pirates who were chasing him stood motionless for some reason, and one of the pirates kept slashing down with a knife.
The shocked expressions on the faces of the two pirates, if not for the fact that the eyes of the two pirates were still moving, the little girl would have thought that the two pirates were dead.
Standing in front of the little girl was Lin Tian. When he saw that the little girl was about to die under the pirate knife, Lin Tian immediately took action and imprisoned the two pirates in place.
Seeing that the two pirates were motionless, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and asked curiously, "Big brother, did you subdue these two pirates?".
Lin Tian nodded and helped the little girl up, "little sister, can you tell me what happened?".
Seeing that Lin Tian killed the two pirates so easily, the little girl cried, "Big brother, can you save my father? They were all captured by the pirates."
Seeing such a cute little girl begging himself, Lin Tian quickly nodded in agreement.
Wiping away the little girl's tears, said softly: "Let's find a safe place first, and then you are talking to me slowly."
While comforting the little girl, Lin Tian shook his right hand lightly, and a trace of blood flowed from the corners of the mouths of the two pirates, who were already dead and could not die anymore.
These two pirates didn't understand until their death that they were just catching an extremely weak little girl. Performing such a simple task would actually bring their lives into danger, and they died in the hands of such a brat.
At the last moment of the pirate's death, he seemed to see the fate of the rest of the pirates.
