Chapter 226: The Fish Takes the Bait

Jeno nodded, carrying two boxes of things was not a problem for him, as long as Niko could stand him, it didn't matter.

"Huh? If my sister wants to go, let's go, it's really not okay to mess with Niko just pretending to be dead. ”

Niko never lies, she said that playing dead is really playing dead, and she barely breathes, which is a physical mechanism of self-protection, called suspended animation.

"Is it so hard?" Caitlyn forced a smile, but finally couldn't contain her curiosity.

……

Slaughter dock

If you ask the locals how to get to the slaughterhouse, they will answer, "Smell the smell and walk all the way there." ”

And it was, the closer you got to the dock, the more intense the fishy stench became, and Jeno felt like he had a pestle into a fish basket.

The slimy and fishy smell gushed into the mouth and nose, as if the seafood eaten came to life in an instant, and the demons danced in the stomach, filling people with the idea of vomiting.

Mouth Districtβ€”β€”

Jeno was so disgusted that he spat and told Nicol not to learn.

When a group of dock rats heard the sound of falling, they immediately surrounded it, thinking that some kind of food had fallen on the brick road.

When he found that it was just a mouthful of spit, he immediately looked up and squeaked at a few people, and his voice was as sharp as hard chalk across a blackboard.

Dock rats look weird, compared to ordinary mice, their heads are more like sharks, no fluff, only a layer of oily skin, their necks are so short, it looks like their heads and bodies are directly connected together, and the structure of their mouths is similar to that of sharks, but because of the sharp front teeth on their short jaws, they can never close their mouths.

"What kind of rat is this, it's disgusting."

The sudden appearance of the fish-headed mouse really startled Catelyn, she snorted, and instantly shrank behind Jeno, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Jeno could feel the pressure on his shoulders, as if Caitlyn was going to climb up on his shoulders to get his feet off the ground.

He remembered that Caitlin wasn't so afraid of rats when he was in the Zaun sewers, was she afraid of the weird dock rats? Or was he frightened by Tucci a few times, and since then he has a psychological shadow on the rats?

Without much thought, Jeno kicked a mouse into the water, then tripped another one. They rushed up and bit headlessly, Caitlyn behind him screaming muffledly, nails leaving marks on his shoulders.

Jeno fired a fierce shot at the densest place of the rat colony with a hand cannon, and the blue light flashed, and the world finally fell silent. In the blink of an eye, Jeno kicked two more blinded rats away, and the rest fled into the shadows in the corner, blood-red eyes glinting in the darkness with vendement.

Catelyn jumped off Jeno with trepidation, and said to herself, "If I knew there were so many rats here, I wouldn't have come." ”

"It's all here, let's see the sea monster before leaving."

Sivir pointed to the dock where the hunting ships were moored not far away, where a large number of people had gathered, and loud shouts could be heard.

"It's okay."

Approaching the dock, the concentration of the smell reached its peak, and a serpentine kraken was dragged up to the buoyancy tank on the dock by a group of slender men, it was half a hundred long, the thickest part was about the size of a tanker, and its body was covered with wounds left by harpoons, and it had festered and bleeding pus, and it seemed that it had been immersed in the sea for two or three days.

Not far away there is a wooden lifting device, like a huge "rolling pin" leaning on a wooden frame, the "rolling pin" is actually called a snake stick, which is covered with several circles of fixed nails, each of which is three or four meters long, and the sink linked to the sea below is filled with seawater, and the buoyancy generated by the water can help the slender men drag the sea beast more easily, otherwise such a large sea beast, no hundreds of people can not pull it.

This is a special lifting device for serpentine sea beasts, and the slaughtering dock is a row of docks, and the device on each dock is used to handle the corresponding sea beast.

I saw that the slender men pulled the sea beast under the pillar of the snake, hooked the mouth of the snake with a hook, hung it on the pillar and circled it, and then nailed it with a giant nail. Then the boatmen below turned the wheel, twisted the rope and pulled the pillar, and slowly wrapped the huge body of the sea monster around the pillar a few times, completely overhead.

The overhead sea beast was trying to bleed, and a butcher wrapped in an oil-soaked face towel came over and pushed a wooden ladder.

He climbed the wooden ladder and used a sharp giant butcher's knife (chopper?). Cut the throat of the sea beast and bleed, and the blood poured into the sink below like a waterfall, and the buoyancy tank used for transportation became a blood tank for bloodletting, which was reused.

The heavy smell of blood came to the nostrils, and several people were persuaded to retreat, and the butchers had already hung iron chains on their backs, like high-altitude cleaners, jumped off their devices and slowly landed on the pillars, and then stood to skin the sea beasts, and the peeled flesh would soon be sent to the slaughterhouse for rough processing.

"Let's go, do you want to stink Nicola to death? Hurry back to the shower, or you'll definitely have nightmares tonight. From behind him came Jeno's call.

The taste couldn't help it, and Caitlyn took one last look, then caught up with Jeno in a few steps.

The night is like a tide, and the residential areas are brightly lit, and the dim afterglow illuminates the dock market. The dark sea was like a gloomy mirror, reflecting the candlelight and the braziers scattered across the pier. In the distance, under the cliffs, the wreckage of thousands of wrecked ships shimmered with the glimmer of lanterns.

As he walked, the light became thinner and thinner, and Jeno felt strange, so he asked questions.

"Are you on the wrong track? There are no lights here. "It was dim, with folded shrimp pots and fishing nets on the side of the road, and dock rats scurrying down the road, seeing only a flash of crimson eyes and a constant creaking sound.

"No, it's a dock market, it's separated from the residential area by a bridge, I wanted to see if anyone was setting up a stall, but I didn't expect it to be closed, and ......there were no lights," Caitlyn explained absentmindedly, focusing on the rats who might come over at any moment, and inadvertently bumped into Jeno, his lips imprinted on the back of his neck.

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?"

The blow was so hard that Caitlyn felt like her lips were about to be punctured by her teeth, and she covered her mouth in shame and asked Jano why she braked so hard.

"There's a guy there."

"What's so strange about someone setting up a stall in the market? Isn't it a little late......"

Caitlyn muttered, her eyes following the direction Jeno was pointing, and she suddenly felt the same way as Jeno.

It's so weird!

A brawny man dressed as a butcher, wearing a blood-soaked leather apron, his thorn-tattooed arms bare, and his muscles bulging out.

There are several knives and iron hooks commonly used by butchers hanging from the belt around his waist, and he is holding the knife against the chopping board to chop the fish, making a fierce slapping sound, but there is no light next to him, there is no person, he is alone, as if he is doing something shady.

He saw a few people dressed in rich clothes, his eyes lit up, he patted the fish bucket in front of him, and raised his hand to beckon a few people to come over:

"I caught a lot of fish today, I still have a few fish that haven't been sold, and they are all still alive, come and take a look!"

Somehow, this scene looked a little inexplicably scary to several people.

"Do you want to go over? There were a few men hiding next to the bridge, blocking the road to the residential area. "The artist is bold, and Sivir pouts, not afraid.

"You can go check it out, but be careful." Caitlin took the conversation, everything in front of her was clearly a trap, but she was also a policeman, and she couldn't see the insidious things of these pit people.

She rubbed her aching lips and smiled through it.

Tonight, she's going to go fishing for law enforcement!

Let's see whose fish is taking the bait!
