Chapter 38: The Sunken Sea (5)

Night is the only time when the Tower's raiders are free.

They do not have to do labor like the rest of the awakened, but are responsible for clearing out the anomalies in the inspection house.

During this period, the restrictions of the handcuffs will be temporarily weakened.

Eleanor changed into the black uniform required by the Tower, with a hood on and a long cape that well concealed her figure. The belt ensured easy movement, and the over-the-knee boots wrapped around her powerful long legs. She slowly straightened the wrinkles on her gloves.

No restrictions, which means that no matter what trouble they cause, the Tower will choose to tolerate it.

After all, no one wants to confront these crazy people who have been imprisoned for a long time and are full of anger and have nowhere to vent.

"Ask someone to hand it to Makisuke." The silver chain hung on the fingertips, causing the exquisitely shaped key pendant in the middle to swing, and then it slowly fell into the palm of the black goat. He then realized that it was the key to the library on the top floor. "When did you get it?"

"Just now, and I changed it into a necklace."

"..."

If Makisuke's hair was a little longer, it should be an earring.

The black goat's thoughts were still clear, and he was not disturbed by Eleanor's occasional unknown operations. He quickly connected with her brain circuit: "You want Makisuke to get the strange data?"

Eleanor did not comment, but just glanced at him casually, indicating that he should stop, "It's good that you understand, but there is no need to continue asking more."

The black goat was silent.

Eleanor's top priority is still the Imperial Capital, which far outweighs her interest in exploring the weird, but it doesn't mean she has to give up completely, she can leave it to others. Tracing the source will sooner or later lead to the Imperial Capital, and then come into contact with the weird existence.

There is a high probability that something unexpected will happen tonight. Even if the weird can't run into the tower, the cleaning process will inevitably make a noise, and according to Makisuke's strange physique that is prone to trouble, he will probably notice it.

There is no need for deliberate guidance, Makisuke will slowly dig out the well-known "secret" about the Imperial Capital.

"You must be careful later, the Silver Wolf holds a grudge, and he will definitely take the opportunity to find trouble with you."

The Black Goat's prediction was indeed correct.

Not long after they separated, Silver Wolf jumped in front of her and shouted that he wanted to kill her. The result was as expected. Eleanor beat him up mercilessly and then threw him to Weird, letting the black mist chew his body into pieces. Unfortunately, it was not fatal.

Eleanor leaned down and condescended to give him a mercy that was not sure whether it was true or not. The cold light in her eyes was woven into an unattainable indifference, and even the smile seemed hypocritical. She stretched out her hand to pinch his neck, but she didn't use any force, just pretended. She

didn't threaten, she disdained it, and she even just asked softly: "Have you learned your lesson this time?"

The heel of her shoe was still stepping on one of his broken arms.

"What are you pretending for? How normal do you think you are?" Silver Wolf was kicked into the black mist before he finished speaking. He instinctively reached forward and Eleanor caught his hand calmly, neither letting go nor pulling it back, with an elegant and leisurely posture.

She glanced at him casually, and then let go of him calmly and wiped her fingers carefully with a wet towel. Her beautiful lips raised a mocking arc, "I'm not a bad person. You brought this upon yourself, didn't you?"

The half hood made it difficult to see her expression, only her tall nose was slightly exposed, and her hot and charming lips.

"Enjoy it."

The plunderer recovered very quickly, and Silver Wolf turned on his supernatural power and quickly repaired the blood hole left in his body by the monster. He changed his attack and directly solved the weirdness. He stared at Eleanor for a few seconds with a gloomy face, then turned and left after weighing the pros and cons.

Eleanor stood in a pool of blood, and slowly took out an inverted cross earring from the inner pocket of her cloak. The solidified crimson flashed across her vision.

She raised her hand and put the single earring on her right ear, then found a secluded corner where no one was paying attention to her and changed her identity safely.

The endless darkness was there again.

The night watchman was wearing the uniform of an executive officer, still with a high and mighty attitude. The evening breeze lifted his hair, but his gemstone pupils were cold in tone, as if the empty white had merged into the crimson.

It was a silent, empty red sea, because she was full of the color dyed by blood. Whether it was guilt or regret, they were emotions she did not have.

She chose red just because this was the path she would always take.

The eternal executive officer stood on the top of a tall building, overlooking the island at night. The thin black mist spread, with only faint lights scattered here and there. In the tranquility, the rising and falling breath of the waves and the slow and comfortable sound formed a natural melody to guide the way forward.

The night watchman's steps were slightly rotated. The bright light in her hand was the source of moths in the darkness. She glanced behind and said casually, "Solve it as soon as possible, don't make the scene too dirty."

She hated the strong smell of blood, which would make her irritable and uncontrollably recall the night when blood flowed like a river, as if it was vivid in her mind.

The night watchman pressed his steps and stepped heavily on the damaged body of the deep-sea monster. The waves rushed to the shore, hitting the reefs, shattering into a dazzling array of stars hanging in the night sky, and took away the mess when they retreated, leaving nothing behind.

A faint sound approached here, pressing his steps, and finally stopped at a distance that was neither far nor close.

The waves washed the dirty soles of his shoes, the lantern swayed in the wind, the hem of his clothes fluttered, and he turned around and looked fierce. The expression on the night watchman's face did not change when he looked at the person who came. She was not surprised by Fran Gu's appearance.

"I'm curious, how did you do it?"

"The eyes of 'Return to One' shouldn't be so easy to avoid."

Watchman turned his eyes away and didn't look at him again, just replied indifferently: "It has nothing to do with you."

"A monster is approaching you, or it's a high-level monster, don't you want to deal with it first?"

She wanted this person to disappear more than the monster, and it was really annoying to keep swaying in front of her eyes and making noises.

The smooth and sticky tentacles of the deep-sea monster and the head broke off neatly, and the cross-section was so smooth that it seemed to have been precisely calculated. Watchman took out the bloody heart from the monster's scattered torso, imagined it was Frangu's head and threw it to him, letting him take it and run away.

The Inspection House is also conducting legitimate research related to the weird. In addition to clearing these deep-sea monsters every night, the plunderers must also provide a certain number of samples, either living or a small amount of flesh and blood.

Unlike the semi-solid weirdness in the imperial capital, the Inspection House adjacent to the sea is almost full of severely mutated deep-sea monsters. They are also shrouded in black fog all night. No one knows when it will end, or they will have to live in this darkness all the time.

These monsters originated from the sea area that they were closest to. They crawled out from the depths of the sea like demons crawling out of hell. Their bodies were huge and covered the sky. They looked strange, with dense and rotten eyes crowded with tentacles, and exuded a rotten and fishy smell.

"Thank you for your concern."

Fran Gu acted extremely proud, as if he was going to die in the next second. He held the monster's bleeding heart in his hand, and the curve of his lips continued to expand. "But if it was your heart, I think it would be more sincere."

Shouye ignored her. She took off her gloves and threw them aside. Yi Zi, who had a sensor locator, suddenly appeared. Not only did he catch it smoothly, but he also carefully folded it and put it in a small black box. Fran Gu's eyes twitched, "Are you people in the imperial capital like this?"

"First of all, let me correct you. You are also from the imperial capital." Shouye actually showed some interest and was willing to reply, "But it's none of your business whether it's so lenient or not."

The protected Yi Zi made a contemptuous gesture to Fran Gu from behind, and then behaved himself the moment Shouye turned around.

Fran Gu:.

I give in. You are really good at pretending.

Shouye raised his hand and let Yi Zi help her put on new gloves. She would have to stay in the inspection house for the next few days. She couldn't leave any evidence. Even if Fran Gu was really guilty, it would be better not to really kill him.

"Don't look at it anymore." Shouye looked at Yi Zi, who was still standing there staring at Fran Gu. He didn't know what to say for a moment, "...Remember not to say you are from the Eternal Day District outside."

Fran Gu laughed out loud with schadenfreude.

The night watchman felt that if things continued like this, he might really bury Fran Gu, so he half-coaxed and half-persuaded him and took him away.

The tall buildings that stood silently in the long night were like another kind of monster mocking the insignificance of the dust. The bright light penetrated the mist, and the colorful light was like a dazzling gem that could not cover up the splendor, illuminating half of the sky, overlooking the dark blue ocean that had been silent in the distance.

In the distance, something climbed up the window silently and peeked in, but it was eliminated before even a scream could be made.

The inspection house and the executive building, the central building of the federation, were the only exceptions that kept the lights on. Having enough ability to protect oneself can also give people hope and spiritual sustenance, and perhaps more expectations for the future.

Just like a lighthouse on the sea, it never goes out, and as long as it exists, it will continue to protect this land.

"You are here." Hui tilted his head to greet her, and then looked out the window again, his eyes fell on the black sea that had become completely dirty in the night. The brilliant light reflected in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his glass-like pupils glowed with inorganic cold light.

He only blended into this place for a moment, and the illusion of being stripped of humanity quickly broke away from him, like a ghost who was good at painting skin and robbing people was torn off alive, and the warmth and coldness were intertwined into a weird distortion.

Gray tapped on the window with his fingertips, and he said slowly, "This sea has been like this since I can remember. The imperial capital was just pretending and never really helped. The inspection office was also helpless, and no one could save it."

"But she's crying."

He was not lying. He

softly interpreted the regret and love.

Listening quietly at night, the ocean is no longer as pure and profound as it used to be after being polluted, but he seems to like it very much. His nostalgic eyes pierce through the artificial cold shell, revealing a bit of warmth, "It's a pity that I didn't see what she used to look like. She must have been very beautiful." "

You should know a lot about the plans and illegal experiments that the imperial capital has been promoting." Gray retracted his gaze and turned to her, "I will collect evidence as much as possible."

"All risks are borne by me alone. Not only that, as long as you need, I will voluntarily become the scapegoat pushed out, and my only condition and begging is to protect him, my last family."

He hopes that the child whose face he can't see in his memory is safe, and he hopes that the person he loves can always get what he wants.

Even if he still can't remember those past events.

But now he felt that it was not important. If he could see him, they could use the future to fill in the missing blank puzzle, and there would be no new regrets.

He wanted to see him, but now was not the right time.

Hui handed the document to the night watchman. No matter how she checked it, she just kept a faint smile throughout the whole process.

"Please use me."
