Chapter 265: Witch Master
In a small tavern.
It looks like a casual restaurant, and it's a bit dirty, but it's a good restaurant in Scarborough Town.
After all, in this town, all year round, it will only be a little more lively for more than a month.
And the people who come here are naturally also for money, there is no need to covet temporary enjoyment, and they don't care much about these superficial things.
"Xia Mu, these days, thanks to you, our work has been able to go so smoothly."
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant sitting opposite Xia Mu looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.
Four people, one person sits in one direction, and eats just some simple meals, which is completely indifferent.
"Please don't say that, I just did what I had to do."
Xia Mu replied.
The remuneration given by these Fusang businessmen is still very rich, and Xia Mu is also a little lucky to be able to find such a job.
"What a humble man."
The thin and shrewd Fuso merchant sat very upright when he spoke, as if eating and talking were also things that needed to be treated seriously.
"If the goods have already arrived, we should register the goods as soon as possible."
Xia Mu said.
It's not that Xia Mu wants to work, or express himself, but Xia Mu has already eaten at night, and he can't eat anything at this time, and it's too boring to sit here and chat.
"There's no hurry."
The skinny and shrewd Fuso merchant replied.
……
Time passed slowly, and Xia Mu and them were just chatting about some insignificant things.
"By the way, Xia Mu, this batch of goods is our last shipment, so ......"
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu, and when he spoke, he had a look of apology.
"That's it, it's okay, I really appreciate you all this time."
Xia Mu replied.
Xia Mu originally just planned to work for a while, and it was enough to make money, so he didn't have any feelings about this.
Late at night.
The restaurant, which was originally quite lively, has become deserted with the passage of time, until in the end only the four of them remained.
The guy on the counter, holding his chin on his hands, was drowsy.
The dim yellow candle flame in front of the store swayed gently, and when the wind rose, it felt like the flame would be blown out every time, but it always persevered, and it always lit up a small area at the door.
"Let's go."
The thin and shrewd Fuso merchant stood up and rubbed his hands, there was a feeling of excitement, but it was an excitement under strong pressure, and the expression was not obvious.
"Hmm."
Xia Mu followed the three of them and walked out of the small restaurant together.
At this time, the guy was already completely asleep, and even if Xia Mu and the others had left, they didn't notice it at all.
On the table, keep the money for this meal.
Therefore, this guy will not be scolded for dereliction of duty.
"It's already deep at night."
Xia Mu looked up at the sky, it was pitch black, it was a moonless night, if it weren't for the lights of some nightclubs in the distance, he would definitely not even be able to see the road in front of him.
The three Fusang businessmen walked briskly and did not answer Xia Mu's words, of course, in this case, there is no need to answer.
The speed of walking is very fast, though.
However, their breathing was very steady, unlike Xia Mu, whose breathing had already begun to appear a little disordered.
When I arrived at the ferry, I almost saw a person, and the whole sea was black, if it weren't for the familiarity, I guess I wouldn't have noticed it even when I walked into the sea.
"There's no boat."
Xia Mu looked at the sea and the side of the ferry, but did not see a boat with lights on.
If you come to deliver today, the lights on the ship will definitely be on, and in such a dark environment, you can almost see it at a glance.
"It's just the lights off."
The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman looked at Xia Mu and said lightly.
After the thin and shrewd Fusang merchant finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone from his pocket, made a call, and talked a few words in words that Xia Mu didn't understand.
Suddenly a light lit up on the sea.
The silhouette of a large ship, visible in the dark, far from the sea, but still visible, is enough to show that it is a very large ship.
Generally, ships that use cargo are relatively small, because the risk will be smaller. If you explain it in terms of the idea of investment, it is to never put all your eggs in one basket.
Although this ship has not yet sailed to the coast, Xia Mu knows that this must be the largest ship he has seen in Scarborough Town.
"It seems...... Some of them were busy tonight......"
Xia Mu thought secretly in his heart.
The boat slowly moved towards the shore, and there were big waves on the sea, Xia Mu and they only needed to wait for the ship to dock now, and then unload the goods inside.
The ship soon docked.
A very high, very large ship, in the dark, like a building.
"What's inside, take it out."
The thin and shrewd Fuso businessman said slowly into his mobile phone.
There was some sound of mechanical friction inside the big ship, and then a mechanical arm stretched out from the ship, which was very long, like the cantilever of lifting things in aerial work.
At this time, although Xia Mu had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't ask.
Because, now there is no one around except them, and waiting until late at night to do such a thing, the things used must not be known by outsiders.
At the top of the mechanical arm, a wooden box is grasped with a steel claw, which looks like an ordinary box, just like the boxes used before, no different from the ones used before, probably produced by the same batch.
The mechanical arm continued to extend, and the big ship docked on the beach, and the mechanical arm slowly put the wooden box back on the beach.
The big ship by the sea put out the lights, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
In my ears was the sound of the big ship moving forward in the sea, and the sound became farther and farther away until it disappeared, which also meant that the big ship had left here.
……
The box was about a hundred meters away from Xia Mu and them.
However, at this time, none of the three Fusang merchants had passed, and Xia Mu had to stand quietly aside, waiting for their instructions.
"Xia Mu, at this distance, can you visually detect the size of that box?"
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu and asked him.
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant was holding a strong flashlight in his hand, and he kept shining on the wooden box, so Xia Mu could still see the box clearly.
"You can judge the size of the fuzzy, but if you want to go into detail, it's a bit difficult."
Xia Mu looked at the thin and shrewd Fusang merchant and replied to him.
Although the boxes look to be produced in the same batch, and the wood used is exactly the same, there are some differences in the size of each box.
Some of these differences are large, some are subtle, and they are completely irregular.
It is still very difficult to estimate the size of the box from a hundred meters away, without getting close to the wooden box.
"We want to be detailed, and the error should not exceed one centimeter."
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.
"Just go over and measure, is this okay?"
Xia Mu asked.
The thin and shrewd Fuso merchant was silent for a while, lowered his head, and seemed to be thinking about something: "It's okay to ......"
……
Xia Mu walked towards the wooden box, walking at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, it was the kind of normal walking state.
The eyes of the other two Fuso merchants glanced at the thin and shrewd Fuso merchants, their eyes were very complicated, their mouths moved, and in the end they still didn't say anything.
Distance.
The dog god carefully captures the subtle smell in the air.
"Fishy ......"
The dog god said as if talking to himself.
Even though Inugami's voice was very small when he spoke, Gu Taktori was standing very close to Inugami, so he still heard what Inugami said, but he didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?"
Gu Xue looked at the dog god and asked him.
"Fishy!"
Inugami replied, in a very affirmative tone.
Gu Hou Bird and Dog God have been following Xia Mu for a long time, so they all know what Xia Mu and Fusang merchants have done before.
A large ship inexplicably appeared on the beach.
After dropping a small box, the big ship slowly left in the darkness again......
"Fishy?"
Gu Hou Bird still didn't understand what the dog god meant, after all, at this time, Gu Hou Bird didn't smell anything.
"Well, it's still heavy, and there must be a lot of fish coming to the surface in the sea."
Inugami continued.
As he spoke, he frowned, as if he was trying to think of something, but he didn't think of what he wanted to know.
Xia Mu was still approaching the box.
Although Xia Mu didn't walk very fast, at this time, he was only fifty or sixty meters away from the box.
"Stop!"
A girl's voice rang out, it was a shout, with the vibration of the waves, as if it came from the sea.
Xia Mu looked up and saw nothing.
"Did you hear it wrong?"
Xia Mu thought suspiciously, and then continued to walk forward.
"Stop !!"
The same sound sounded again, louder and clearer than the last.
This time, Xia Mu heard it clearly. Xia Mu stopped and looked around, and behind him were the three Fusang merchants, standing in the original place, looking at Xia Mu from a distance.
The light of the strong flashlight formed a straight beam of light, which shot out from the hands of the thin and shrewd Fusang merchants, passed by Xia Mu's side, and finally landed in the wooden box that was not too big or small.
Some moths, attracted by the bright flashlight, flew around the light.
None of this seems to be anything out of the ordinary, but what's the deal with that voice? Xia Mu's new power was full of doubts.
A moth flew towards the wooden box that was placed on the beach.
Thirty meters...... Twenty meters ...... 10 meters ......
The moth suddenly fell from the sky and fell to the ground, motionless and silent......
"What the hell is going on?"
Xia Mu saw the moth that flew over and fell to the ground, but, because the distance was a little far, Xia Mu couldn't be sure that the moth just landed on the ground on purpose, or for some special reason.
As for whether the moth is alive now, Xia Mu doesn't know.
"It's me!"
The light of the flashlight shines from the wooden box to the sea in the distance, and a girl in a blue kimono stands quietly on the sea.
It seems, it's an incredible scene.
But in Xia Mu's heart, there was not much surprise, because the girl in a blue kimono in front of him had been seen by Xia Mu.
And at that time, Xia Mu was already sure that the girl was a monster.
"Looks like someone has come to stir things up."
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant standing in the distance looked at Jiao Tu and Xia Mu, and said slowly, with a hint of gloom and sinister in his eyes.
"Do you want to go up?"
The Fuso merchant who was standing on the side, who was sturdy and looked very strong, glanced at the thin and shrewd Fuso merchant and asked him.
Although it is just a very normal speaking voice, there is also a feeling of being full of neutrality and majesty.
"The other party doesn't seem to be human."
The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant shone the light of the flashlight on Jiaotu's body, and then said lightly.
The scene of Jiaotu standing on the water did not surprise the three Fuso merchants, but they became a little interested.
"Hmph, I'll come."
The woman who stood aside, who had not spoken, snorted coldly and then said.
It was a woman in a black office uniform, the clothes and body fit well, she looked neat, her legs were exposed, tightly wrapped in black stockings, and at the bottom were a pair of leather shoes that were also black.
A looked at the woman next to her, with a smile on her face, very confident.
"Hmm."
A replied.
The woman took out a piece of paper cut into the shape of a small paper figure from her bosom and threw it into the air.
Then he said softly: "Haste as a law!" ”
The moment the piece of paper hit the ground, it turned into a little boy with a big mallet, looking like a little boy with a hint of wildness.
"Master, what do you command?"
The little boy looked at the woman and asked him.
"Did you see the girl in the blue kimono on the sea? Kill her! ”
The woman said lightly.
"Command!"
After the little boy finished speaking, he took the big mallet and rushed towards Jiaotu, the speed was not very fast, and it was not much different from the normal speed of human running.
When the little boy ran past Xia Mu's side, Xia Mu saw a faint halo emanating from his body.
"This boy is also a youkai!"
Xia Mu's heart already understood.
"Jiaotu, run!"
Xia Mu shouted loudly at Jiaotu who was standing on the sea.
Although at this time, Xia Mu still didn't know whether Jiaotu was friend or foe, Xia Mu still couldn't help shouting, probably because he had always felt good about Jiaotu before.
