On the River Thames, 14:50 p.m

The barge was moving silently on the river, Nicholas had even begun to snore loudly, and Raven felt his eyelids tremble, but he still yawned twice to keep his eyes on the lookout.

As if it had collided with something, the ship shook violently, and the shaking of the ship woke Nicholas and Raven from their stupor, and when the shaking finally ended, the boat remained motionless on the river as if it had been stuck.

The boatman who had been in the cabin hurriedly ran out, and he hurriedly apologized to the two: "I'm so sorry, maybe the oars are twisted with aquatic weeds, I'll deal with it and continue to sail." ”

Raven waved his hand at him: "It's okay, it won't delay us anyway, you can repair it now." ”

The boatman nodded appreciatively, then walked briskly to the stern of the boat to check the oars. "How strange!" he muttered. "It doesn't look like it's being choked by something, so why did it suddenly stop?"

He leaned forward to examine it further, but the moment he looked at the water, he fell to the ground screaming. Emerging from the water was a translucent human face, which had just grinned at him. He had lived on the river for almost 20 years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying scene.

"What's going on?" Raven and Nicholas hurried to the stern of the ship, but instead of a solid deck, they touched a puddle of water.

"Is the ship leaking?" shouted Nicholas at the boatman, "otherwise how could there be so much water on the deck?"

"Calm down, Nicholas. Raven said with a solemn face. "The boat didn't leak, we were attacked. ”

As if to confirm what he had said, the water on the deck quickly condensed into shape, eventually forming a translucent humanoid form. "How easy it was to fall for it, I thought you would be smart. The humanoid said in a high-pitched voice.

The boatman watched what was happening in front of him, his brain had already stopped, and the adrenaline rush made him scream, causing his attackers to cast annoying glances at him.

"It's so noisy!" his body gradually changed from translucent to black-robed form, and he slowly walked over to the boatman and slapped him twice on the face with a hand. "You're so annoying, I have to ask you to shut up. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the boatman's body swelled violently, and even every vein in his body could be seen clearly. He screamed in pain, but there was nothing he could do to stop the change in his body. His body swelled to an unimaginably large size, and finally burst like a balloon that had reached its apex of inflatation.

Blood poured like warm rain all over the deck, and Nicholas and Raven were splattered with blood to the point that it stained them all red.

The man stretched out a blood-stained finger and put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Although he is noisy to death, the blood tastes good." ”

He looked at the two people who had not recovered from the panic just now and bit his fingers: "But I'm really rude, I haven't introduced myself yet." My name is Jordi Ferron, but it's too cumbersome to pronounce, so you can call me number 5 and you don't need to know much about the rest. You just have to remember that I'm here to kill you, and enjoy the process. ”

Regent Street, Windsor Clothing Store, 14:55 p.m

"What do you think of this?" Wakaba asked Rex with a sad face.

Rex now feels like a bitter gourd that can't speak, with words of suffering. But he couldn't help but speak: "I think it's pretty good, if you want to buy it, buy it." ”

"Really, what's going on with you today?" Wakaba said, pouting. "It feels like you're particularly absent-minded today. ”

Can you expect anything from me? Rex felt a dragon roaring in his heart, my aunt, my three months' salary was gone, if I really went to see it with all my heart, I should have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"But since you didn't say you wouldn't buy it for me, I'll buy another one. ”

My heart hurts, Rex clutched his chest as if he was suffering a thousand tons of shock, next time I must bring a bottle of fast-acting heart pills, otherwise I will not be able to hold on.

He barely lifted his spirits and followed Wakaba with a large bag and a small bag, but he had just taken a step when he suddenly felt that something was wrong around him. What was this feeling? He thought silently to himself, what an urgent sense of oppression, just now thinking about his wallet, so he seemed to ignore the possibility of the enemy attacking, didn't he?

"Get down Wakaba!" his pupils tightened suddenly, and he shouted and threw away the burden in his hand and rushed towards Wakaba.

Almost at the same moment, the ceiling was pierced by a tremendous force, and a large amount of concrete mixed with smoke and dust fell. Fortunately, Rex was quick and quickly took Wakaba in his arms and rolled on the ground to avoid the attack of falling rocks.

The two of them raised their heads in disgrace, but a figure faintly appeared in the smoke and dust.

"The reflexes were not bad. The woman said. "He dodged my attack at the last moment, and it seems that he has some skills. ”

Rex touched his dusty face: "I didn't expect you to actually do it, are you going to wipe out all of us?"

The woman in the black robe walked out of the smoke and dust: "What's the point of asking these now, I have no grievances with you, everything is the meaning of the above, for the sake of dark justice, I have to ask you to be the victims." ”

Kings Avenue, Marty Cafe, 14:59 p.m

"Cappuccino is the strongest coffee I've ever had. There were four or five cups piled up in front of Shore, "especially with the sugar, it tastes the best." ”

"Can't you drink something properly?" Ye Xiang said with a disgusted face, "Others will refill a cup at most, and if you pour a refill, you will ask the waiter to refill four or five cups for you, haven't you ever drunk something?"

Xiao Er spread his hands indifferently: "No way, just drink more delicious things, besides, it's rare to come here to drink the most authentic, and the main thing is that it doesn't cost money to refill the cup, don't drink it for nothing, right?"

"If everybody were like you'd drink, I'm sure the store would be out of business in less than a week. ”

"Don't worry, how can this be a century-old store go bankrupt?" said Shore as he raised his hand to greet the waiter. "Waiter, I'm going to have another drink. ”

"Yes, sir. The waitress still kept a polite smile.

As she walked towards the bar, the door of the café was gently pushed open, and the waiter walked to the door with affection and greeted: "Welcome, sir." ”

The hooded man didn't pay attention to her, but found a place to sit down. The waitress felt a little embarrassed, but she quickly greeted her with a smile: "What do you need to drink?"

The man held up a finger: "Just give me an espresso and remember not to add sugar." ”

"Okay, please wait a minute. The waiter left as if relieved.

"Someone actually drinks espresso without sugar. Xiao Er teased and said to Ye Xiang, "That thing is bitter to death, how should he drink it?"

Ye Xiang glanced back a little cautiously: "Who knows, some people just like to eat bitter, and bitter coffee also has a unique flavor." ”

As he spoke, Shore's refill had arrived, and he nodded gratefully at the waiter, "Thank you so much, if only a beautiful woman like you could work with us." ”

The blonde waitress smiled sheepishly, bowed slightly, and then walked to the seat of the man who had just entered the door with Mocha on the tray in her hand.

"Your espresso is ready, please slow down. ”

The man didn't say anything, just picked up the coffee and took a sip gently, and then he frowned: "This espresso is not bitter at all!"

The smile of the service was obviously frozen: "Sir, the mocha in our store has always been the most authentic espresso, not to mention that there is not even a little saccharin, how can it not be bitter?"

"I said that if he is not bitter, he is not bitter. The man put down the cup and pushed it aside. "Since you claim to be a long-established brand, you should more or less know that you want to be a god for your customers. ”

"If you insist that there is something wrong with this cup of coffee, then I can change it for you now. The waiter still had a stiff smile.

"Then I'll trouble you, little girl. The man said.

"What an obnoxious guy. Shore looked at the busy waitress and said, "How do I think that guy is here to find fault, and he actually bullied a little girl, and it wasn't because there were restrictions, I would have beaten him a long time ago." ”

"That guy doesn't look like a good recommendation. Ye Xiang said lightly tapping his fingers on the table. Be careful, he looks more and more suspicious. ”

The waiter had already re-served the man a cup of coffee, but the man still didn't even look at her and took a sip of the cup, he snorted contemptuously and then slowly put down the cup: "There is still no bitterness at all, is your century-old shop just a name, and a façade?"

The waiter finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time: "Sir, before your cup of coffee is served again, there are at least several baristas who have tasted it, and they have always thought that it is bitter enough, why are you doing this now?"

The man stood up, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "Not bitter enough is not bitter enough, I said that this cup of coffee is not bitter, then it is not bitter." ”

"But you-"

The waitress was about to argue when the man's hand grabbed her face, and she struggled to break free, but the hand was like a pincer and couldn't break free.

Ye Xiang and Xiao Er also stood up from their seats at this time, "Hey, you bastard, let him go." Shore pointed at the man and shouted. "We don't want to get into trouble, but it's shameless for you to bully a little girl. Ye Xiang also looked very angry.

"Oh, the big heroes are here!" the man said as he let go of the waiter, "I thought you were going to be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of your life, it seems that you still have a little courage, Captain Shore, Vice Captain Ye Xiang." ”

"Is that really the case?" Ye Xiang didn't feel too surprised to hear the man call out their names. "I've long thought you're too suspicious, are you really a killer sent by Wild Hunt?"

"Since everyone knows who each other is, there is no need to talk nonsense. The man said, "My name is Glenn Brown, the man who will send you on your way, remember this name, and then go to death in peace." ”
