There are many times when coincidences are not coincidences, but just causal cycles.

The so-called open sea is actually the outermost sea on the southern shore of Willalia Island, where there is a trench under the sea, which is more than 2,000 meters deep.

The stall owner's body sank into the trench, along with the scissors.

In the depths of the trench, countless carnivorous fish were gathering around the corpse of the stall owner, when suddenly a sea snake passed through the scissors, but its tail was stuck in the ring of the scissors. Frightened by this one, it fled around the trench, getting closer to the previously unapproachable area.

Suddenly, in the pitch-black trench, a huge tentacle wrapped up the sea snake and pulled it directly into a huge cavern......

On the other hand, Hawkins stayed in the settlement for three days, bought a large amount of supplies, and then prepared to return to the Black Market Island and completely occupy the Black Market Island.

But the Black Knife hadn't gotten far from the sea settlement when suddenly the surrounding environment changed.

The mist enveloped the sea, forming a huge ring within which the Sea Settlement and the Black Knife were located.

Originally, it was Victor and Mark, who had recovered, who were driving the boat, and the two saw that the situation was not right, so they hurriedly chatted in the chat group @Hawkins, and when Hawkins came out of the eternal space, even the sun in the sky was covered by a thick fog, and the dense fog was like a semicircular cover, enveloping this sea area.

"Captain, could it be that someone is targeting us?" Mark couldn't help but guess when he saw Hawkins come out.

Recently, the Black Knife Pirate Regiment has been in the limelight, with Hawkins' bounty of 5,000 gold coins and the heads of their crew members worth thousands, enough to attract many killers from the Seven Seas who possess cursed relics to hunt them.

The Blowgun Killer and the Liquid Man were both attracted by the bounty, so Mark's speculation was not unreasonable.

Hawkins wasn't immediately sure what was going on, as he wasn't an all-knowing and all-powerful god.

He stood on the deck, first observing the fog around him, and then looking up at the sky, wanting to completely obscure the sun, and with the concentration of this fog, it must be at least two or three hundred meters thick.

"Let's go back to the settlement first. ”

After thinking about it, Hawkins said to the two.

No matter what this fog is, it is definitely not a smart choice to force it into the fog, because there is no pressure of death, so it is better to brake quietly.

When they returned to the sea settlement, it was silent, and the people either hid in the cabin or returned directly to land, all of which were not on the ship.

"It doesn't seem that the problem is here. ”

Hawkins glanced around at the sailboats and said thoughtfully.

At this time, suddenly a figure appeared above Hawkins' head, directly holding a black spike and stabbing at Hawkins's Heavenly Spirit Gai.

The Eternal Spirit appeared instantly, a hand in front of the spike, and the figure spiraled in mid-air, and the next moment the body dissipated like smoke.

"Captain, you're really coming for us!" Mark immediately looked around vigilantly and said solemnly.

Hawkins opened the space passage and said calmly: "Victor, you go back first, Mark stays, don't take it lightly." ”

"Captain, I'll go first, be careful. Victor didn't drag the mud and water, and immediately entered the passage and returned to the eternal space.

He is well aware of the gap between himself and Hawkins and Mark, and the strength of the two is incomparable to him.

After Victor leaves, Mark asks, "Captain, what should I do"

"Don't worry, since the enemy is coming at us, now he must be hiding in the shadows to observe us, let's go, you go and sail and leave directly through the fog. Hawkins smiled.

At this time, he was more calm, because it was easier for the enemy to be a killer.

Compared to the killer, he is more worried that the opponent is a monster like the golden dragon, although the monster has a lower IQ, but the behavior is also more unpredictable, and often brings greater danger.

The Black Knife left the Sea Settlement and headed straight for the fog.

Hawkins stood on the deck, waiting for the enemy to attack, but the figure did not reappear, as if it did not exist.

This result made him suspicious, he was really attacked just now?

If the figure was actually a hallucination, would they all be immersed in the hallucination now?

Because of this, he directly turned on the live broadcast and asked the people of Eternal Space to observe the picture he saw, but through the feedback of Mourning Night and others, the picture he saw was indeed a fog.

【I love my family】

Mourning Night: Hawkins, look at the sea, I just saw a dark shadow flashing.

Arthur: I see it too.

Victor: Could it be a fish?

In fact, it is normal for dark shadows to occasionally flash in the sea, after all, under the sea is a fish kingdom, and there will always be all kinds of fish moving.

But the next moment, when Hawkins carefully observed the surface of the sea, everyone saw countless fish fleeing through the video, and fish of different species and sizes were all swimming frantically in the direction of the fog.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through the water, turning into a scimitar and stabbing out of the water, straight into Hawkins' façade.

The Eternal Spirit behind Hawkins held his palm in front of Hawkins, and then grabbed the scimitar with his other hand, but the scimitar immediately turned into a shadow and contracted.

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong!"

Hawkins squinted slightly at this time, and the current on his body surged instantly, and the electromagnetic position unfolded.

Under the effect of the magnetic field, the Black Knife broke away from the sea and floated directly, and Hawkins flew under the ship, and sure enough, there was a black shadow among the countless tentacles.

It's not human!

Hawkins made a judgment, and the next moment his hands burst into lightning, and he directly tried to click on the black shadow.

In an instant, the black shadow quickly twisted and deformed, falling directly from the hull of the ship and falling into the sea, and then rushing out of the sea like sharp nails stabbing Hawkins.

"What the hell is this?"

Mark came out of the cab and was surprised to see the distorted black shadow.

Suddenly, the black shadow changed from a fingernail form to a ghost-like existence, and pounced directly on Hawkins, who summoned the eternal spirit and turned into a shield to block the black shadow's attack.

"It's an angel!"

Although Hawkins fought the Black Shadow, he had extraordinary hearing and could naturally hear Mark's words.

When he noticed that the shadow had turned into a ghost, it was just when Mark said, 'What the hell is this?' so his heart moved and he opened his face.

But his words didn't have an effect, and the black shadow still had the appearance of a hideous ghost, with a skull head and a body that seemed to be covered with a black cloth.

"It's a monster with three heads!"

Hawkins suddenly thought about it and spoke again.

The next moment, the black shadow immediately began to classify, and the skull was directly split into three.

I see, this is not an assassin or a killer at all, but a monster born because of language.

At first, Mark guessed who was targeting them, but then the monster was directed at them, and Mark reaffirmed its existence, so it gradually transformed from the unreal to the physical.

If it continues, I'm afraid it will actually become a living being.

Hawkins said to Mark, "Mark, don't talk nonsense now, this monster will change because of what we say. ”

"So perverted!"

Mark was surprised, but the next moment he realized that it was not good and quickly covered his mouth.

The black shadow that was originally in the form of a ghost began to split in the next moment, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of them were split, and they were still splitting.

Hawkins glanced at Mark speechlessly, and then quickly controlled the Eternal Spirit to turn into a circular shield to protect himself, and the moment the circular shield was formed, these black shadows attacked wildly.

"Weird fog, weird monsters, what the hell is going on?"

Hawkins looked at the black shadows that were constantly attacking outside, and couldn't help but think to himself.

At first, because of Mark's bias, he also guessed that the killer was in action, but judging from the current situation, it is more like someone inadvertently triggered the effect of a cursed relic.

Just like when they first encountered the Blackblade Pirates, someone on the merchant ship they were looting triggered the effect of the cursed relic.

This kind of cursed relic that was inadvertently triggered is even more dangerous, just like the monster that came from the Delirium Realm at the beginning, if it weren't for Hawkins sending it into the eternal space, I'm afraid that it alone would be enough to cause the lives of the seven seas to be destroyed.

Hawkins constantly observes his surroundings, and if someone does inadvertently trigger the cursed relic, then the most suspicious thing is the sea settlement.

Those who flee often come with property, but not necessarily all of it.

It's like the woman who sells scissors, the scissors she sells are from the mayor's house in Rogin, not her own, and even she herself has used the scissors unintentionally, even paying with her life.

Could someone have inadvertently triggered some kind of cursed relic?

Hawkins felt a bit of a headache, the sea settlement has now gathered tens of thousands of people, and the hull has been modified beyond recognition, in order to expand even some ships with other ships, between the two ships to build houses with wooden planks, and even several ships together to form buildings.

It is difficult to troubleshoot, and even cooperation is also a problem.

It is impossible for these people to obediently cooperate with the investigation because of his few words, and they may even suspect that he is playing ghosts, this kind of thankless task, he is too lazy to do it.

"Being in the bureau, it's too easy to be confused, and it seems that you have to look at it from an outsider's point of view first. ”

Hawkins sighed slightly, and the next moment he sent the Black Knife into eternal space, and then flew up quickly.

When he flew to the mist layer above, the black shadow that was chasing him suddenly stopped, just watching him enter the depths of the mist.

"It's weird, but it's exactly what I want!"

Hawkins immediately entered the state of resonance and transformed himself into state - zero, and continued to move upward.

At state-zero, he has no gravity, space, etc., and can move at will without being detected by anyone, just like stealth at the highest level.

Ten minutes later, he emerged from the fog and flew along the fog layer, and then he saw an amazing scene.
