Chapter Twenty-Five: Bansi Port in the Wind (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)

Donna's body slammed back, her pupils contracted violently, her mouth half-opened, and her screams reached her lips.

If she hadn't seen the Courier before, she would have been unable to control herself, and she staggered to her feet in terror, regardless of whether the table and chair would have toppled over.

Fortunately, she was no longer the little girl who had no knowledge of the sea when she first boarded the White Onyx, and her voice only slightly sharpened, pointed out the window, and stammered:

"Yes, there are living corpses!

"A living corpse without a head!"

She used the most common living corpse in folklore to describe the horrific thing she had just seen.

Cecil struck his feet and walked two steps to Donna's side, looking out the windy window for a few seconds.

"Nothing. She said truthfully.

Donna shrank back, plucked up her courage, and leaned forward cautiously, leaning over, only to see the trees swaying outside, debris flying, and not a single pedestrian.

"Just now, just now, there really was, he, he was wearing a black cloak, he had no head, and his neck was bleeding!" Donna said as she gestured, trying to convince the adults present.

Her father, Ulddy Blanche, stood up with his desk propped up, walked to the window, and stared for a while:

"Donna, don't read that book of Vansey Horrors tonight!"

"But it's ......," Donna tried to plead aggrievedly.

At this moment, Cleves went up to the second floor, approached and said:

"What happened?"

Donna said she saw living corpses outside, living corpses without heads. Another bodyguard, Teague, explained with a chuckle.

Clevis was silent for two seconds and nodded to Donna:

"It's okay, it'll pass.

"It's windy outside and it's more dangerous, so we'll leave when it's calmer. ”

In Donna's eyes, Uncle Cleves's words show that he believes in himself and chooses the safest solution, while in the eyes of Uldi, Teague and others, it is a clumsy trick to comfort the child.

Seeing that Donna was still a little nervous, and the real employer was not very satisfied, Cleves pulled out a chair and sat down, and said calmly:

"There is a peculiar custom in Bansi Harbor not to leave the house and not to respond to any knocking sound on a night when the weather changes drastically. ”

"If you open the door, you'll be captured by that living corpse?" Denton, who had seen the Bone Courier with his sister, suddenly asked.

"It's understandable. Cleves took a sip of the water.

So that's it...... Donna settled down, believing that as long as she didn't leave the restaurant, she wouldn't encounter the terrifying living corpse just now.

It was only at this time that she noticed that the diners around her had already cast their eyes because of the movement here.

Donna, who was being watched one by one, only felt uncomfortable all over her body, and instinctively wanted to bury her head and avoid everything.

I didn't do anything wrong! I really saw it! Donna stiffened her neck stubbornly and looked around.

She saw a gentleman in a tuxedo and a lady in a beautiful dress retract her gaze, and saw them bow their heads, pick up the spoon, and scoop the dark red blood clot of several spices in the porcelain bowl into their mouths.

Their lips were stained with a blood-red color, and their faces were quite pale in the light of the crystal chandelier, and the contrast between the two was stark, which made Donna inexplicably feel a little more panicked.

She turned her head around and waited for dinner, and secretly prayed to the goddess that the wind would stop as soon as possible.

............

Bansey Port Telegraph Office.

As soon as Erlan and the first mate finished filming the information to the navy, they noticed that the wind was howling outside, and the doors and windows near the ground were rattling.

"Really, the weather here is always so unstable. Erlan put on her boat-shaped hat and sighed and smiled.

His first mate, Harris, laughed and said:

"Otherwise, how could there be the title of 'weather museum'?"

"You'd better not go out, the legend says you'll lose your head. A young lady with curly brown hair reminded the telegraph office staff slowly.

"I know, but I've tried a few times and nothing happens. Harris didn't care for anything and was about to pull the door and leave.

Erlan stopped him, and after a moment's thought, he said:

"It's okay to go to the church next door, right?

"Your telegraph office is supposed to be closing, right?"

"No problem. The young lady with curly brown hair still looks like she is slow and methodical.

Erlan nodded, opened the door of the telegraph office, and made his way to the Storm Church dozens of meters away, against the wind that could roll up like a child.

First mate Harris pressed his hat and followed the captain, as if he wanted to express the idea of rushing directly back to the White Onyx.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the wind poured into his mouth, and all the sounds were stuffed back.

After a moment's hesitation, he wisely kept his mouth shut and stopped making obviously unrealistic proposals.

It was a quarter of an hour before 7 o'clock, and it could only be considered evening, and the doors of the Storm Church were still open, facing the worshippers.

The tempest had softened a lot, and at least Ellan and Harris didn't have to worry about their hats abandoning them at any moment.

Entering the church and walking through the dark and solemn aisle, the two stepped into the large prayer hall and saw a man in a dark blue priest's robe sitting in the front row, quietly looking at the huge "storm emblem" composed of symbols such as wind, waves, and thunder on the altar.

Erlan smiled and leaned over and patted the familiar figure on the shoulder:

"Jace, where's your bishop?"

After being slapped like this, the priest's head shook visibly.

Then, it fell forward and fell to the ground with a thud, tumbling in succession.

Blood gushed out of the priest's neck like a fountain and drenched Erlan's face.

A cold, wet feeling came to his heart, and the bright red color blinded Erlan's eyes.

All that was left in his sight was a blood-colored world, and the head that had finally stopped rolling, its eyes blankly upward.

............

At 7:15 a.m., Klein and Daniz, who came out of the first-class cafeteria, found that the wind that had just caused the ship to sway had calmed down considerably.

After thinking for two seconds, Crane walked all the way to the entrance of the cabin and asked the crew guarding there:

"Who hasn't come back?"

The crew member, who had seen the passenger enjoying the delicious fish-man meat with the captain, did not hide it:

"Except for the Blanche family and Dimurdo family who went to the Lime Restaurant, the other passengers all came back before the wind rose, hehe, it was farther away and the meal time was longer.

"Ah yes, the captain and the first mate went to the telegraph office and haven't come back yet. ”

Klein was faintly visible, 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 fog for divination, just with his own spiritual intuition, he could vaguely sense that something bad was brewing and happening.

After waiting another five minutes, he still didn't see Captain Erlan and Donna's family return.

Crane glanced sideways at Daniz, allowing the well-known pirate to sit up straight as he was lounging in his easy chair.

Crane withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and walked into the bathroom.

He skillfully closed the door, drew paper figures, disguised himself, and came to the gray mist, ready to do another divination.

He had previously considered the potential risks of Bansey Harbor, but now, after the wind had risen, he was going to confirm the current level of danger.

"Bansey Port is in danger. ”

Crane held the pendulum and whispered.

After repeating it over and over again, he opened his eyes and found that although the citrine pendant was turning clockwise, it was not large and not fast.

Dangerous, but within acceptable limits...... This contradicts the previous revelation...... Crane leaned his elbows on the edge of the long bronze table and muttered to himself.

He quickly thought of the possibility that the current danger was not the same as the hidden risk, and that unless something was triggered, or something went out in depth, the iceberg hidden beneath the sea level would be revealed.

This potential risk may have existed for three or four hundred years, or even longer, and it is not because of my arrival...... Well, the current danger may not even have anything to do with the underlying risk, but unfortunately, there is a lack of necessary information to do a divination on this speculation...... After finishing the interpretation, Klein quickly returned to the real world, left the bathroom, and found a chair to sit down.

He was silent, hesitant, and didn't move for a long time, which made Daniz "Blaze" feel inexplicably uneasy.

Ever since Gelman Sparrow spoke of the potential danger in Bansey Port, the well-known pirate had been a little worried.

It must be very scary to make this monster change his mind, and the danger of not going to the lime restaurant must be very terrifying...... Why is it that my vacation is so miserable? It is so bad luck that Daniz was so impressed by the almost frozen atmosphere that he had to get up and pace back and forth.

It was then that he saw the monster Gelman Sparrow suddenly stand up, buttoned up his double-breasted gown, and walked to the coat rack by the door.

Taking off his half-height silk top hat, Klein looked at Blaze and said expressionlessly:

"You're free. ”

"Huh?" Daniz felt that this was not true.

He suddenly understood what the other party wanted to do, and blurted out in amazement:

"You're going to save the captain, and the ordinary people?

"You, you yourself said it's dangerous outside!"

Crane put on a half-height silk top hat, picked up a black hardwood cane, and replied calmly as he twisted the doorknob:

"They've worked with me.

"They kept it a secret for me.

"He invited me to eat fish-human flesh.

"He helped me compensate for the loss of 'White Shark'. ”

...... Daniz didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked:

"How much was paid?"

"A few sures. Crane opened the door and walked out.

Crazy! This guy is a complete madman! He is a madman to others and to himself! Daniz's mouth is half open, and it is difficult to speak.

Luckily, I'm a normal person!I'll stay in a safe place!!!

No sooner had he thought than the wind returned, making the glass windows creak and make the candles in the room sway.

Looking at this dim and surging scene, Daniz suddenly thought of a question:

The ship is parked in the port, which is also considered part of the port of Bansey, and it is also not safe and may be at risk!

I'd better follow that monster if I stayed here by myself, at least, at least he's strong!Daniz, who was faster than his brain, ran out of room 312 on his feet, and finally caught up with Crane before he left the cabin.

Crane glanced sideways at him, and although he didn't speak, the meaning of the question was very obvious.

Daniz hurriedly laughed:

"Just choose to retreat from such a small danger, I will be laughed at by all the pirates on the sea of Sunia!"

Excuse...... Crane didn't pierce and borrowed a horse lantern from the doorway crew.

Carrying a dusk lantern and holding a hardwood cane, he walked along the side of the ship into the dimly lit harbor in a long black gown.

Daniz lamented as he followed firmly.
