0:45, the present world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The wolf is a cunning creature, and the raccoon is a cunning creature even more cunning than a wolf, and when these two animals are combined, it is simply double cunning.

After half an hour of sailing, the yacht came to rest.

The land has long since disappeared, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of turbulent waves. The dark waves stretched to the horizon and merged with the murky night, creating a boundless chaos. Heavy black clouds rolled in the night sky, as if they were going to fall at any moment—a sign of an approaching storm.

Obviously, this is not a good place to park a boat, and it is not a good time to park a boat.

The cabin was very dim, except for a small lamp on the helm's seat. The leader of the masked man left his seat, came to the back of the driver's seat, and asked the driver:

"What's the matter, Dimitri, why did the ship stop?"

"I'm sorry, boss," replied the big Dimitri, looking back, "something seems to be wrong with the engine, and I'll have to go down and take a look." ”

With that, he left the driver's seat. The body, which was too large in the narrow hallway of the cabin, staggered to the stern and descended the stairs at the aft steps.

The waves at the bottom of the ship rose higher and higher, and the floor of the cabin sloped more and more. For people who are inexperienced at sea, or who can't hold on to the sloped ground like a vampire, it's still a bit difficult to walk in a straight line in such a cabin.

Although the leader was unhappy, since there was something wrong with the ship itself, he couldn't say anything, so he returned to his seat and waited with his hands crossed.

They are a group of vampire mercenaries who roam the underworld, collecting money and not allegiance to any lord. That night, they received a commission from the Tepeshi family to go to Sado Island to catch an unarmed human girl.

Originally, it was supposed to be an easy job. Capturing an ordinary human maiden is as easy for these battle-hardened mercenaries as an eagle catching a chicken, and the reward offered by Radu III is quite considerable, which is simply giving money.

But now, the yacht was out of flames and stopped on the surface of the sea that seemed to swallow them in one gulp, and the storm was gathering overhead, and the leader became more and more uneasy.

Something was wrong, he felt. Dimitri's abnormality, the failure of the engine, these two accidental events come together, it really doesn't seem like a simple accident, let alone ......

He turned his head to glance at the girl sitting in the corner, Maellubelle Hearn, and happened to meet her gaze. When the girl saw this, she hurried away from it, and was timid, like a squirrel that had been caught.

There is a problem with this girl, and he can't say what the problem is, but the experience of walking on the line of life and death for many years has taught him that this girl is by no means as simple as she seems on the outside. There was "something" hidden in her, something weird, indescribable.

"Hopefully, I'm too careful. The leader shook his head, "Anyway, when I get back to shore, I'll kick Dimitri and find another driver, this guy is just deliberately doing something......

Just as he was thinking this, there was a loud sound of metal colliding from the bottom of the cabin, which startled him to jump straight from his seat.

Not only that, but there is a second, third, and fourth tones...... It's like some Angelenos are frantically striking iron down there, and the sound of violent tapping is endless.

It's not even four o'clock in the morning!

"What the hell!"

Led by the leader himself, all the vampire mercenaries descended to the bottom of the cabin. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got downstairs, they stepped on the stagnant water, and when they looked up again, they saw the driver, "Dimitri". The guy had a crow's beak hoe in his hand, and there were several bowl-sized holes in the wall beside him, and sea water was pouring out of the holes.

Behind Dimitri, the yacht's engine was belching black smoke, and there were several holes in it, and even if he didn't look at it, the leader knew who had smashed it with what tools.

"Dimitri, what are you doing...... Wait a minute......" The leader swallowed the words back into his stomach, frowned, and changed his words:

"You're not Dimitri!" he yelled, looking at the face of the strong man in front of him, "Who the hell are you?

"Oh, the tanuki's transformation technique has failed!" Dimitri said as he touched his face and suddenly realized.

He wore a black turban on the top of his head, a black cloth over his face, and his exposed eyes were ocean-blue—a trait that was clearly not a vampire.

"Forget it, the plan has worked out anyway, and it doesn't make any sense to keep it like this, does it?"

With that, the man tore off the black cloth that covered his face, untied the turban tied around his head, and revealed a handsome, tough Nordic face with a straight, angular nose. His hair was silvery-gray and curly, and his turban was puffed up when he was removed, making it look both soft and fluffy.

If the leader was not mistaken, as he took off his turban, a leaf with a circular notch slipped from between his hair and swirled and fell into the water beneath his feet.

"I'm Caiodis Frost, and you don't know me, and you don't have a chance to know me. He smiled and continued:

"As for Dimitri...... I can only tell you that he is now sleeping at a very deep~very deep seabed. ”

The real Dimitri, of course, is dead, and the leader is convinced of it. Flowing water has a purifying effect and is capable of taking away the power of vampires. A vampire who fell into the water was no different from a rock, unable to even struggle, only to watch his body sink all the way to the bottom, where it would die a slow, painful death.

It must have been on the docks that the real Dimitri was taken out while escorting Maelupelle Hearn, and then the fake unwittingly infiltrated the vampire's ranks, and even drove the boat. When you think about it, it's not surprising that Dimitri had terrible driving skills.

As for how he disguised himself as a vampire, and how he used to kill Dimitri, who had the strongest body in the entire mercenary group, it is unknown. The leader didn't have time to think about these questions, he was a mercenary, not a detective, he was only responsible for killing, and never studied how people were killed.

Caiodis Frost...... Sounds like a northern werewolf name. The leader's voice was hoarse and full of anger that could not be concealed, "You should not be naïve to think that after doing this kind of thing, you can still get away with it, right?"

With that, two bright short swords slipped out of his sleeves with a "swish", and the silver light on the blades pierced people like the fierce light in his eyes.

"Hidden Blade, standard for Assassins. Caiodis nodded. Then, holding up a finger, he said in a flat tone:

"I'll tell you the truth, I really think I can get out of it. ”

"Do you still think so, even if the heart is pierced?"

The mercenary leader lowered his body and prepared for a thrust. In this stance, he could rush up at any moment and stab Caiodis in the heart with a single sword.

As a professional killer, he has the confidence to kill a "layman" who has nothing but muscles in two seconds. At least, in his eyes, Caiodis passed none of the things from his standing posture to the adjustment of his breath.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can even come and stab me. Caiodis said, patting his chest, "Come on, poke here!"

Before the words fell, the water splashed. The leader burst in front of him like an arrow from a string, and raised his hand to pierce his chest with unmistakable precision.

The ferocity and spicinessness of the professional killer are fully reflected in this sword. If it can hit the target, there is no doubt that the sword is perfect, deadly, and error-free.

If you can hit the target......

When the Hidden Blade pierced Caiodis in the chest, two big words came to the leader's mind, not "pretty", "Ness", or "bloodletting", but "not good".

The sword clearly had the real sensation of stabbing something, but it was blunt and rough, as if it had been stabbed into a log, a far cry from the feeling of a sharp blade tearing through flesh. Not a drop of blood was coming out of the wound on Caiodis left chest, and he was even laughing.

"Oops!"

The leader shouted, quickly drew his dagger and stepped back. The "Caiodis" was stabbed with such a sword, and the whole person was twisted, and the shape, color, and size all changed, and finally turned into a thick wooden stake with a few green leaves, and fell into the deeper and deeper sea with a "poof".

"I didn't expect it, the person talking to you wasn't me at all!"

Caiodis' voice came down the stairs from the upper cabin.

"Damn!" the leader scolded, then gestured to his men, shouting:

"Chase!"

By the time the vampires climbed back to the upper level of the cabin where they had been, the "Maelubelle Hearn" was gone. All that was left in the corner was a pile of broken rope and a leaf with a notch. The leader of the mercenaries picked up a piece of hemp rope, frowned, looked at it carefully, and then turned to see Caiodis standing at the door of the cabin, and a woman beside him.

The woman had animal ears on her head and a huge tail behind her, furry with brown and yellow stripes. Her looks, figure, hairstyle, and clothing were different from the vanished "Maailubelle Hearn", and she even wore a pair of earthy round-rimmed glasses. This guy is obviously not human, and it can't be Maailubelli Hearn, but the leader knows that she is the same "Maailubelli Hearn" they caught on the docks on Sado Island, and there can be no mistake.

"You think the person you caught is Mei Li, but you're wrong, it's actually me Eryan Zangda!"

The monster girl pointed at herself with a smug look on her face and shouted.

"Tricked!"

The leader stomped hard, and the stainless steel floor was dented downward. His heart was filled with resentment, reluctance, and the shame of being deceived.

"Do you know what is the biggest difference between you and me?" asked Caiodis on the other side with a smile when he saw his angry appearance.

Behind Caiodis was an open hatch with the endless sea beyond. The leader knew exactly what this guy wanted to do, and it was for this reason that he took a step forward with his twin swords, and rushed towards the door at full speed.

This was his last chance, and if he missed, he would never be able to kill Caiodis again.

"You can swim!"

Before his throat was slit by the sword, Caiodis shouted such a sentence, and he grabbed Eryan Yuzo beside him with one hand, and jumped into the sea. The leader was only half a second slower, and by half a second, he had lost the opportunity to splatter Caiodis on the spot, and watched his enemy escape.

Now, all that was left for him and his mercenary group was the dark, icy depths of hell.

A few seconds later, Caiodis and Eryan came to the surface of the sea not far away. They waved their hands at the slowly sinking yacht and shouted with a smile:

"Thank you for choosing Santu River Shipping, and I wish you good luck in the next life!"
