"Then again, it's not as popular as the big cities. Shore walked down the streets of Akureyri and commented.

"If you compare it to the big cities, you can't compare it. Ye Xiang liked this quiet atmosphere very much. "It's only a city of tens of thousands of people, but you have to say that this kind of peaceful life is really fun. ”

"Captain, this should be our destination ahead. Raven was holding Nicholas, who was full of lovelessness, and a colorful sign happened to be noticed by him.

"Old Ray Bar, quite an interesting name. "Could it be that the owner of the shop is called Lao Lei, I remember that many bars are named after the owner." ”

"What do you call it? Ye Xiang walked to the front of the team and carefully observed the surroundings first, until he was sure that there was no danger at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's go inside. ”

"You can't go in all at once. Shore stopped, "Raven, you and Nicholas find a place to rest." From now on, we'll take care of the joints, and you'll be in charge of perimeter vigilance. ”

"Won't you? Raven complained with a bitter gourd face, "It's rare to have a place for me to rest, I wanted to drink two glasses, it's too cruel!"

"Why don't I change with you?" Ye Xiang smiled and made his own suggestion. "Well, I'll help Nicholas, you and the captain go inside for a drink. ”

"How dare I. Raven stuck out his tongue. "I see, Captain. Then I'll help this seasick man to find another place to rest. But be careful. ”

"You two don't want to cause any trouble in this city. Shore reminded remindfully. "It's time to rest, I don't think the enemy noticed our actions, after all, we were carrying out a stealth plan. ”

After seeing Raven and the two leave first, Xiao Er cautiously nodded at Ye Xiang, and Ye Xiang immediately understood, and reached out to unscrew the doorknob.

As they expected, the bars weren't as lively as they might find in other cities, but rather deserted. Although there were only a few customers, it seemed that the bar owner didn't have much to complain.

"Tell me what you want to drink, and then you can find your own place to sit. "The attitude of the owner is quite welcoming, at least much more polite than those who shout.

"Two beers, I don't think you should have a problem. Shore asked Ye Xiang.

"Whatever you want, it's like I really want to drink it. Ye Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said it didn't matter.

"Alright then, boss. I'll just order two beers. Shore said, holding up two fingers.

"Okay, go find a place to sit. ”

On the way to find the location, Xiao Er and Ye Xiang kept looking for the man wearing a black crow pattern jacket. But to their chagrin, there were so many customers in the whole bar, and they couldn't find even a single one in a jacket.

"It looks like people haven't arrived yet. Ye Xiang found a seat near the window and sat down. "Looks like we're early, and that guy hasn't come yet. ”

"Wait a little longer. Shore sat down across from him and looked out the door. "This is the biggest bar in Akureyri, and Jon can't be wrong with the information. ”

Two beers were served, and it was rare to have such free time, Xiao Er and Ye Xiang both temporarily put the task in second place, after all, their mental high-pressure situation had lasted for an unknown amount of time.

"Ah, what a pleasure!" said Shore, who drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, for the first time in a long time he felt so good. "The last time I drank like this, I almost forgot what time it was, but I didn't expect to have a rare break today. ”

"Even though it's nominally a break, we can't take it lightly. Ye Xiang said, "I don't know when that man will come, he won't let us rest here for a day, right?"

The door of the "Squeak" bar was pushed open again, and he caught the attention of Shore and Ye Xiang in an instant. It was a man in his mid-30s, with an angular, rock-like face, an indescribable sense of intimidation in his eyes, and more importantly, a dark green jacket with a black crow pattern on the back.

"Is it him?" Shore asked Ye Xiang quietly, "It seems to be as described, if it should be him." ”

"It's not certain yet. Ye Xiang replied quietly. "Didn't Jones say that the man has a special physique, you are the only one who has the holy word here, you can know it by trying. ”

"It looks like I'm going to have to do the work. Shore pursed his lips and whispered a grumbling. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the man who had just entered.

What did it feel like? Shore was less than three or four meters away from the man, but he suddenly felt something strange. Is it resonance? No, I've felt resonance before, but never resonance has ever been so unbearable.

He suddenly remembered the scene when the Holy Word had awakened, yes, he felt so much back then and now, but he also swore that he would never want to experience this feeling a second time.

It's burning, and the word on my arm is burning. He could feel the burning sensation of the Word, a burning sensation that was simply beyond the limits of what a human could bear. It's not just the skin that's burning, it's the muscles, it's the bones, and even the blood is boiling.

"Knock" Shore fell to his knees, he seemed to have thought something wrong, and now the pain was more than several times greater than the feeling he felt when the Word was awakened.

He seemed to finally understand why Seth was missing, even if the man in front of him didn't make a move, just standing in front of him could make all the witchers powerless and could only be captured.

"Someone looks uncomfortable. The man drank all his order at the bar before turning to look at Shore as he fell to his knees.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my friend wouldn't be like this. Ye Xiang had moved from his original seat to the man's side at some point. "I guess you're the one we're going to meet, right?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to the bar in such ugly clothes. The man said, tugging at his jacket. "I'm the person you want to meet, or more precisely, I'm going to see you, Captain Shore and Vice Captain Ye Xiang. ”

At the Akureyri marina, a cruise ship anchored in front of the pier.

"Is there a cruise ship coming here today?" asked Joseph, a young customs officer, to his seniors.

"I don't know. The senior put down the cigarette in his mouth and exhaled a series of white smoke rings. "According to our work arrangement, there are no cruise ships, what the hell is going on?"

"Then we can't get on the boat to check? I think it's safer to check. Joseph asked, even though he was now a very young customs officer, but he was still very responsible.

"That's fine, although the ship is not on the sailing list, since it has stopped here, it must have its own reasons. The senior smoked a cigarette and said, "Then let's go up and check." ”

Joseph followed his predecessors onto the deck of the cruise ship, but as soon as they got on board, they sensed that this ship was different from other ships.

"Is there really anyone on this ship?" said Joseph with his own question. Indeed, as he said, there was no trace of human life on such a large cruise ship, not even the crew that greeted them.

"It's also the first time I've encountered this situation. It was also the first time that the older customs clerk felt so overwhelmed. "Anyway, everything starts with the process, starting from the cockpit. ”

When they opened the cockpit door, a scene that made them even more creepy appeared. Behind the hatch were piles and piles of bones, at least dozens of them if you counted the skulls. The smell of blood filled the air, and Joseph was about to vomit when he pinched his nose.

"What the hell is going on? What are these bones?" the older customs clerk reached out and touched the bones, the texture telling him that the bones were real. He was completely panicked, and the scene in front of him was literally hell on earth.

"We should notify them and tell them to send the police to cordon off this place immediately. It's so weird, so oppressive, I feel like I'm going to run out of breath. Joseph made his own suggestion, and now his face was pale, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

"You're right. The senior finally relented, and he readily agreed to Joseph's approach. "We're going to get off the boat now and let the people up there send the police to cordon off here, something terrible must have happened on this ship. ”

"Let's go, then. As he spoke, Joseph prepared to leave the cabin, but suddenly he found his predecessor standing motionless.

"What's wrong, sam, sam?" he asked, looking back. At this moment, the elderly customs clerk had already squatted down, his hands tightly covering his chest, and his expression looked extremely painful.

"Get out of here!" he struggled to squeeze the words out of his mouth. "Bang", a loud bang was heard, and Joseph watched as his senior's chest exploded violently, while his chest was already empty.

"Oh my God!" he collapsed to the ground in terror at the horrific sight before him. Crawling out of the hole in the chest of the senior was a fly with only blood-red eyes, and they were densely packed out of the interior of the body, and the scene was simply maddening.

"It's all your own fault for getting on the boat. A lazy voice came from behind Joseph. He looked back tremblingly, almost scaring himself to death, when he saw a humanoid monster with a fly's head.

"You look delicious. Beelzebub looked him up and down with a pair of fly's eyes. "It's a pity that I have a mission on my part now, and I can't enjoy it as well as I can on a ship. ”

He raised a hand, and the flies that had been crawling on the corpse of Joseph's predecessor flew up with his gesture, as if it were a dark cloud, but this dark cloud had the ability to devour everything.

"You're just like the man over there, and you're going to be food for my clones. Beelzebub then turned and departed, leaving behind Joseph, who had not yet recovered from his fright.

But he had no chance to think any more, and as soon as Beelzebub had finished saying that, countless flies enveloped Joseph, and the poor young man was completely devoured before he could even scream. In just a few seconds, there was another clean white bone on the ground.

"Your Excellency. Seeing Beelzebub walking out of the cabin, Corgi immediately fell to his knees. "Humans seem to have arrived, what's next?"

"Our troops are hidden in the cabin, and there is no guarantee that anyone else will come aboard again after the death of the two men inspecting the ship. Beelzebub calmly analyzed the current situation. "Corgi, you stay and lead the ship's troops, and I'll get to know the humans myself. ”

"My lord, those men have defeated Lord Levianson. Corgi voiced his doubts. "You'd better take me, or at least a few people as a countermeasure, or it's too dangerous. ”

"Levi Ansen is just a big idiot!" Beelzebub's tone became stern. "I let you stay here because I trust you, are you trying to say that my decision was wrong?"

"My subordinates don't mean that, my lord. Corgi immediately bowed his head and apologized. "I'm just a little worried about adults, and I definitely don't want to question them. ”

"I know what you're thinking. Beelzebub softened his tone. "Don't worry, I'm not the reckless kind of person, I've left a small portion of my doppelganger as a means of communication, so you can know if I've encountered something I can't solve. ”

"Your Excellency is wise. Corgi replied. Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart at this moment, it was more about his trust in the adult in front of him. His worries were too unnecessary, and he thought to himself, how could this adult lose to a mere human, he was the one he had sworn to serve for the rest of his life.

"Then let's separate for now. Beelzebub looked at the city in the distance. "It looks like it's going to be disfigured again, and it's really troublesome to think about it. But I'm in a lot of interest right now, and I wonder if those people will be able to make me happy."
