Chapter 46: The Sea of the End of Summer (Part I)

More than 20 meters underwater, seaweed and fish are constantly drifting along the waves and corals, and Matsuyasu wears a mask and looks for a fairy-like food - hemp abalone.

Because the hemp abalone is active in the crevices of the seabed rocks, it is necessary to use an iron needle to catch it when fishing, and the pinholes left have become the best sign to identify it.

Fresh abalone has a shelf life of only two days, and the merchants process the abalone as quickly as possible, so that an abalone will appear in the Tokyo market in 24 hours.

At 3 a.m. in Aomori Prefecture, where abalone is produced, Yoshihara Matsuyasu set off on his father's speedboat, and the father and son were going to pick wild abalone from nature in the abalone picking area contracted by their village.

Abalone is a long-growing seafood, and a large abalone may take more than 10 years to grow, and the yield is not much, so it is very expensive and expensive.

May to July is the fattest season of abalone, this season is also the best time to pick abalone, after finding the abalone attached to the stone pillar, Songkang did not rush to pick, but untied a caliper buckled on his body, began to measure the size of the abalone.

Abalone picking is not allowed to pick abalone less than 7 cm in length, and fishermen carefully follow the rules of the sea in order to continue the gift of nature.

But that's it, the growth rate of abalone still can't keep up with the growth of human desires, and the resources of wild abalone are still decreasing day by day, especially abalone that are big enough.

The quality grading unit of abalone is "head", but this does not mean that abalone has a lot of heads or the more heads, the better, the head here refers to how many abalone of this size will be in each Sima Jin, for example, double-headed abalone refers to the weight of two double-headed abalone has one Sima Jin, and nine abalone is one catty of nine.

Needless to say, everyone can understand that the smaller the number of heads, the bigger the head, the longer the growth years, the better the quality of the abalone, but with the depletion of abalone resources, now the three-headed abalone has rarely appeared, not to mention the double-headed abalone that is "difficult to buy double-headed abalone".

In particular, the double-headed abalone in Hema and Jishiin Abalone has become a thing of the past, and the purchase price of each double-headed abalone at the seaside alone can reach 5 to 100,000 yen.

But today must be his lucky day, Song Kang thought, after hours of searching, he had just found dozens of abalone large enough to reach the double-headed abalone in a very hidden rock crevice under the sea, and even one of them might be able to reach the legendary single-headed abalone level even if he read a big novel!

"What's that?" but just as he was excited to go down and pick it, the high-powered underwater searchlight on his helmet swept over an area, but something unusual caught his eye...

When he twisted the searchlight in that direction again, he was stunned by the sight that caught his eyes, and the hideous and distorted faces were strangely crowded together to form a high, eerie wall, a terrifying sight he had never seen since he grew up in a small seaside village...

As if awakened by the illumination of a searchlight, the distorted faces on the black walls in front of him began to move irregularly, and the countless distorted and evil faces that had awakened all stared at him, and at the same time evoked a strange smile.

"It's... What is it..."An unconscious murmur came out of Matsuyasu's mouth, turning into a small bubble in the depths of the ocean and dissipating...

......

At the same time, on the other side of the sea, in Britain, the meeting of the six chiefs almost fell to the point of fighting.

"You three are so savage! This is how unreasonable the practice of the nuclear-armed states. ”

"Nonsense! Isn't your family the largest number of nuclear warheads, dead old beauty? ”

There are two people who say they want to fight.

There was one man who made a gesture of letting the horse come.

Pretend to be a dinosaur on the tablecloth on the screen, one.

Now I want to go and drink immediately, a hard worker.

The whole meeting was caught in an insoluble dilemma.

If it continues like this, it is not surprising that it will develop into a war that leads to the end of the world, and it is not surprising that the White Knight Mechanism and humanity will be destroyed together, which is such a bad situation.

At a time when the attitude of the last man is enough to decide how things will develop—

"Uh............ Ga............ Ahem........." Suddenly there was a groan of pain that sounded very serious.

"Charlie, you sneaking bastard!"

"Wait a minute, this—I didn't do this." Charlie pleaded in bewilderment.

The five of them looked at the source of the sound together, and the one who held it down and began to scratch its chest was Anton Suruga, the head of the Japanese branch.

He had only been quiet for a moment, what had happened?

Edward was trying to make sure he was okay, but Suruga fell from his chair to the ground before that second.

He crawled on the ground in pain, his body slammed against the wall, his breath short, his speech indistinct, his eyes blank and unable to focus.

"How is that possible...... There will be ...... There is such a hierarchy of ...... Won't it ...... Is it ...... now? Suruga kept repeating these puzzling words.

Even Vasilisa and Charlie lost their fighting spirit, and all of them watched the drastic changes in Suruga speechlessly. One of them, Erin, spoke her speculation.

"Could it be- is it a heretic?" When Edward heard this, his eyes instantly sharpened, his eyes became cold and ruthless, and he looked down at Suruga.

Suruga nodded vigorously despite his pain, and Erin's speculation became true.

"Clairvoyance, is this your ancestral business?"

"Well, the mourners—no, you should be seeing each other for the first time, right? It's a lot of fun. ”

Charlie stared at Suruga with a deep brow, while Vasilisa licked her tongue and had a sadistic smile on her face.

"I didn't expect it to be a painful craft! In the past, thanks to Suruga-sama's report, the damage caused by the heretics was minimized. This makes people even more awe-inspiring. ”

Even Lu Qixing couldn't help but get up and peep and sighed.

"Anton, in which country did the heretics appear?" Edward even became cold in his tone, and asked Suruga out loud, Charlie, Vasilisa, and Lu Qixing all waited for Suruga to speak with hideous faces.

For some reason, heretics can only appear in the home country of everyone present, which means that one of them's homeland is under the clutches of heretics.

In the event of the appearance of a super-crossbow-level heretic, it is absolutely impossible to leave the country behind and let his subordinates fight on their own, so they can only throw away the meeting and return to their own country immediately.

Just as Charlie and the others became more nervous and concerned, Suruga replied breathlessly, "....... Be... It's mine... Country"

Edward's expression became even more fierce when he heard this, "I'll confirm with NOR right now, do you know where you are in Japan?" ”

"At sea, I told them it was in the north of Aomori Prefecture." Suruga raised his right hand to the sky, put his left hand on his forehead and closed his eyes.

"The north of Aomori Prefecture, right? can know in such detail, it is really a claireye. Erin's simple praise only felt a little indifferent to Edward's ears.

Shortly after asking the National Investigative Service (NRO) — one of the few spy agencies in the world with reconnaissance satellites —

"It's said that I found out right away, and it's really a big deal."

The computer screen showed a satellite aerial image, looking at the heretic's majesty on the screen, and each of the six leaders reacted differently.

Edward immediately glared back at Suruga, Charlie showed his most displeased expression of the day, and Erin fell silent, not knowing what to do or think.

Zhishen said with a serious face, "It's terrible, it's terrible, it's so dangerous, it's not my country." ”

As for Vasilisa - "Hehehe! She burst out laughing, and immediately pointed her fan at Suruga.

"You are not allowed to act rashly, Anton. If you are not convinced, you will first defeat the heartfelt family. ”

"Why are you suddenly saying something unreasonable!? A guy of this level, if the six leaders don't go to the front line to fight in person, they can't win at all! You know it when you look at it, don't you!? Let Anton go first! ”

"Hehehe! Where is it unreasonable? Isn't there a man in Japan who plans to move up to the S rank? So Anton has no reason to go back to the point, right? Let's just have a cup of tea and have fun gossiping, right? Edward gritted his teeth in anger at Vasilissa's taunt.

"You want the leaves...... Fighting such monsters? ”

"Gentle as a mourning family has long been opposed to letting a child shoulder such a heavy burden, isn't it you who are clamoring for that little ghost to be promoted to an S-class savior? Then I'll have to ask him to show his skills! ”

"The mourning family doesn't make many unreasonable requests, asking him to annihilate such monsters alone, the mourning family is very gentle. Right? Pray that your conscience will not be condemned after the little imp fights the monster and dies tragically. Vasilisa laughed as if she had found it amusing.

Although he was not imitating Charlie, Edward also showed an extremely displeased expression, which was regretful and infuriating - but there was some truth in Vasilissa's words about this.

It is not unreasonable, being in the most tragic and cruel battlefield, facing the most vicious heretics, and taking on the most dangerous errands.

If you can do all of the above, you are the real S-class savior.

"That's a great idea. I'll help you, Thunder."

Even Charlie said such disturbing words, and by this time he had already completed the third stage of the dark arts.

It is no longer enough to use words such as "no one notices" and "magic skill", but the speed at which he writes spells is unusually fast.

The part that can omit the chanting is all the stunts of the French devil who is almost foul.

"Sleep soundly. You don't have to suffer that way" Charlie looked down at Suruga with a happy expression, and Suruga stared back against the wall, but—

"Huh. I can't imagine that you still have a caring side, so I'll praise you well and let you be my subordinate? He smiled haughtily, closed his eyes, relaxed and fell asleep.

The painful expression just now seemed to be fake, but now Suruga is sleeping as if he was dead, and the secret art of the ancestral industry - "Gigadrowse".

Anton Suruga is neither a white iron nor a black devil, and as a savior with special abilities for heretics, he naturally cannot resist Charlie's magic.

If the situation is not critical, Suruga's upright sleeping appearance is one that cannot help but marvel.

Vasilissa stood aside and glared at Edward. Edward couldn't easily come to the rescue, and he didn't want it to be so hot in the first place.

"Is it all up to you...... Zhuye? But with that guy here, at least you two can save your lives..."

In any case, even without these two men getting in the way, Suruga would not have been able to return to Japan immediately. The "Gate of Transfer" is limited by the dark art itself, and it will not be available for about ten hours.

"May God bless you, if there really is a God..."Looking at the photos of heretics taken in satellite imagery, Edward couldn't help but draw the cross.

The white knights of Megatron can only ask God to appear now.

If you want to ask him why he did this-

Because it was a terrible monster that even the British minister and one of the six leaders had "seen" for the first time - it could only be described as a nightmare.
