Nightmare’s Call

The wind by the sea is fresh and a bit noisy.

Lin Sheng reached out to straighten the hair that was blown to his forehead. Looking far away, the sea where merchant ships and freighters are constantly coming and going.

The mood gradually calmed down.

"However, after standing for a long time, why is the surrounding area still so deserted?" He remembered that there were still many idle people in the port at this time of day.

Now at a glance, several cargo ships are orderly unloading on the port pier.

The laborers and merchants who help move the goods get along harmoniously with smiles on their faces.

Like what I heard before, labor sits on the ground and raises prices, and goods are stuck and not allowed to move, but I haven't seen any of them.

"It seems that the rumors are biased." Lin Sheng nodded slightly.

At least what he saw with his own eyes was a completely different dock area.

After standing by the fence for a while, Lin Sheng felt that it was time to go back to eat. Also turned around and walked towards the route when he came.

When he turned around to leave, he glanced at the woman on the side. He remembered that this woman was standing here when he came.

He was going to go now, and she was still standing here. Even the posture didn't change much. Among other things, this characterization is quite admirable.

But he didn't know, just by sweeping like this, Xie Qiaoyue almost trembled in fright, and sat down on the ground with his legs weak.

She had been standing for too long, still in the same posture, and her calves could no longer support her.

Lin Sheng left the pier slowly, hailed a taxi, and finally walked away.

Until the car completely disappeared at the end of the field of vision.

Xie Qiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped her forehead, which was covered with beads of sweat.

"No, no, no, my little girl can't stand being scared. If I do this a few more times, I'm afraid I'll have to confess my life!"

She has been living in the port area for more than three years, and she can be regarded as an old fritter in this area.

Because of her innate sensitivity to danger, she was able to thrive in the chaotic port area, and even became the eldest sister of a gang of thieves.

It is precisely because of this that the moment she saw Lin Sheng, the fear and sense of escape that rose in her heart can be said to be the strongest since she became a pickpocket!

Lin Sheng seemed to have a daunting and inexplicable aura lingering around him, and this aura also had obvious effects on other people.

For those who are naturally sensitive to her, it is even more effective.

"It's so exciting!" Xie Qiaoyue let out a long breath, bent over and rubbed her stiff legs.

Slap.

As she bent down, a pale pink drop-shaped stone necklace slipped out of the gap in her chest.

The stone was made of jade, but with a milk-like pure white in the center, engraved with a circle of mysterious and delicate patterns around it.

Xie Qiaoyue quickly put the necklace back on her chest and put it on close to her body.

This thing was stolen from a foreign captain who was in a mess a few days ago.

At that time, it just looked novel, and I thought it looked good, so I brought it back. Later, I felt more and more pleasing to the eye, so I simply wore it next to my body.

Although she is only a small pickpocket, her vision is not bad.

Although this thing looks worthless in quality, the carving and decoration have a sense of history. Maybe it is some kind of antique, and if it rises in value in the future, it will be a big profit.

After patting her legs, she straightened up again, stretched her waist again, looked at the sea, and felt refreshed and comfortable for a while.

"En? What's that?" Xie Qiaoyue was just about to turn around and leave, but her eyes were involuntarily attracted by something gradually floating over the sea.

It was a dark blue sea eagle whose whole body was as pure as a jewel.

The most eye-catching thing is that the sea eagle's neck and wings are covered with some golden fine patterns like gold.

Forget about Haiying, Xie Qiaoyue grew up by the sea and has seen too many.

But it was the first time she had seen a sea eagle with golden patterns inlaid on its wings and neck.

"It's a pity. This thing is so eye-catching, it must not be my share."

The boss at the pier is the Black Wolf Gang. Among the people who ran faster than her just now, there are at least a dozen of them, all of them belong to the Black Wolf Gang.

Seeing so many people, this extraordinary sea eagle naturally has nothing to do with her.

She stood by the fence, watching the sea eagle slowly float over with the waves, motionless.

But what surprised her was that until the sea eagle floated in front of her eyes, less than ten meters away from her position, no one paid attention to it.

"What's going on??" Xie Qiaoyue felt that something was obviously wrong.

She glanced left and right, among the people coming and going around, none of them paid attention to the conspicuous sea eagle on the sea.

That sea eagle was about the size of a washbasin, with golden patterns on its body, which were still shining brightly in the sun, making it extremely conspicuous.

"Something's wrong." Xie Qiaoyue's face turned serious.

This situation is very strange.

She noticed something, the people nearby didn't seem to see any movement of Haiying at all.

A sailor who had just disembarked even passed the fence next to the sea eagle, bent down to pick up a silver coin of only twenty cents from the ground, and then left happily.

But he ignored the sea eagle floating beside him.

It was like not seeing it at all.

"Little guy, can you see me?"

Suddenly an old and peaceful voice slowly sounded from Xie Qiaoyue's mind.

She froze all over, and her body tensed instantly, ready to run away at any moment.

This weird phenomenon has exceeded the limit she can accept.

There was no one within five meters around her, but the voice sounded like someone was speaking in her ear. close at hand.

"Don't be afraid. I'm hurt, very badly. It's on the sea in front of you." The voice sounded again.

Xie Qiaoyue swallowed with a grunt, and quickly scanned the sea in front of her.

Then, she was horrified to see that the sea eagle floating on the sea opened its eyes at some point, and was watching her peacefully.

She is just a punk, and the strongest person she has ever seen since she was a child is the boss of the Iron Fist Club who dominates the Blackwater District nearby.

Where have I seen such a magical method.

"Please help me, little girl. In return, I can teach you something." Haiying opened his mouth and made an old man's voice.

"Gulu." Xie Qiaoyue tried hard to swallow her saliva, feeling her throat was very dry

It's just that she didn't realize that the necklace stone hidden in her chest was emitting a soft faint golden color.

Lin Sheng returned home, practiced the holy power and meditated on the gray seal, alternately until the afternoon.

Then after dinner, I watched TV with my elder sister Lin Xiao, and ate some supper brought back by my father, then quickly washed up and went to sleep.

Because he just failed to explore and was drowned again, he couldn't enter the dreamland again these two days, and could only sleep normally.

I fell asleep until midnight.

A burst of crackling sound like firecrackers woke Lin Sheng up from his deep sleep.
