Chapter 25: The Dark Tide I

"What a hell of a weather!"

Looking at the hazy sky in the distance, with lightning bursting from time to time, Tirt couldn't help frowning and whispering - as a person who has worked at the Saass Harbor Lighthouse for twenty years, he knows very well what kind of trouble such weather will cause to the docks of Saass Por.

"Hey, Tom, go on, the three highest lights in the lighthouse are on! Let those guys' boats get me into the harbor quickly! ”

Shouting to his assistant beside him, Tyrt looked out the window at the sky in the distance, and secretly estimated the possible storms—as an old man who had worked on the lighthouse for twenty years, Tilt himself knew the weather at sea better than any weather forecaster; In fact, Tyrt is also complacent about his own ability!

That's usual, though! Now, Tertnin had miscalculated himself - according to his estimate, in about three to four hours, there would be an unprecedented storm in the port of Saas!

"Uncle Tirt, is this storm going to be big?"

Tom, who turned on the three headlights at the top of the lighthouse as instructed, walked down, looked at Teert, who was standing in front of the window and looking at the weather outside, and asked curiously—young Tom only came to the Sass Harbor Lighthouse at the beginning of this year; For this young man, although he has been studying hard, many things are unfamiliar; At the very least, he can't infer what kind of weather will happen in a few hours or even a dozen hours based on the humidity and wind speed of the air; Even in coming to this lighthouse. Before meeting Tilter. He didn't think anyone could do it to that extent.

"Hmmm! Quite big! It's something you haven't seen since you were born! ”

"Is it bigger than the one ten years ago?"

"Far beyond!"

Telter's solemn expression and words made little Tom's face turn white in an instant—he never thought that there would be the storm more than ten years ago; Dark clouds obscured the sky, it was pitch black in broad daylight, and the torrential rain mixed with strong winds collapsed houses and made it impossible to walk normally.

Experienced a rare storm, and little Tom not only lost his original home, but his father and two older brothers also died in the storm; And examples like his are innumerable after the storm a decade ago — piles of corpses piled up in the streets like sardines, then transported and burned; Countless people have lost their homes, their loved ones, and many more are orphans, albeit with the best efforts of the Northed family. All were sent to a hospice, but the shadow of losing a loved one is not so easy to recover; Under the inability to improve psychotherapy, most children become rebellious or autistic; They fled shelters and ended up on the streets; Premature attempt at so-called 'reality'!

In fact. Ten years ago, most of the children roaming the streets were undesirable, and the first thing people saw was to hold their wallets; And stay away from these children – never underestimate the abilities of a group of children; Even an adult, facing a child's surprise attack, is not much better than their opponent without systematic training.

And compared to his peers, Tom is undoubtedly lucky, his mother is still around! It was also because of his mother that he did not follow the path chosen by most of his peers. And the fate of the face - two hundred years after the gallows was abolished, it reappeared in the bay area, and the figures hanging on it one by one shocked the teenagers who wanted to walk on the same path.

Among those hanging figures, there are two of Tom's best friends! …,

Tom, who was standing in place, imagined what had happened ten years ago and after, and his face became more and more pale - he ran quickly in front of Terte, grabbed Tilt's shoulder, and said loudly, "Uncle Tilt, what should we do?" Can't wait like this! A lot of people will die! A lot of people will really die! ”

"You go and send the highest warning flares. Then ......"

Bang!

The door of the lighthouse was kicked open with a violent thud, and a tall figure entered—long, tousled hair over his shoulders, a cigarette mouth showing several yellow teeth, and a face that was already slightly hideous, with a malicious smile.

"You don't have to go anywhere. Just stay here! The tall man took a deep breath of his cigarette and spat out two smoke rings towards the two. They smiled and clenched their fists at each other and said, "Otherwise, I don't mind throwing you from here in advance!" ”

Haben?!

Looking at the people who suddenly broke in, both Tilt and Little Tom were taken aback - as the most populous and busiest port in the Bay Area, in addition to the vigor it should have, there was also an unsightly presence in that dark corner; For example, the person in front of you, that's it!

Extortion, extortion, kidnapping, stealing, and even murder, the other party dares to do it; In fact, if it weren't for the lack of conclusive evidence, the other party would have been arrested by the police station in Port Sass long ago; However, this did not make Haben restrain himself, or even become more and more arrogant—of course, he was clever not to touch the interests of the real bosses of Sass Port: the Nords; Otherwise, it would have been chopped up and fed to the fish.

However, this does not affect his influence among ordinary people; Or 'deterrence'!

"Harben, do you know what you're doing?" Tyrt frowned and walked up to the tall man, and said in a loud voice, "The storm is coming; If ......"

Click!

The huge fist smashed into his face, and the crisp sound of the bridge of his nose interrupted Tyrt's words, and Tilt took a few steps back in succession, and then fell straight to the ground.

"Uncle Tilt, you're all right, are you? You bastard! ”

Looking at Talter, who was lying on the ground in pain and shaking his head at himself, little Tom picked up the wrench on the workbench and rushed towards him; Unfortunately, in the next moment, little Tom fell back at a faster pace, bent over, and fell beside Tilt like a shrimp.

"Cut, two guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Haben, who retracted his foot, spat at the two of them fiercely, and after seeing that the thick phlegm was accurately stuck to Little Tom's face, he immediately laughed and said, "There is a big man for Kimpton to let me do something; Although you two are dead, if you don't want to die now, be honest with me! ”

"Bastard, bastard......"

Little Tom, clutching his stomach, knelt on his legs and pressed his head against the floor, trying his best to stand up.

"Do you know how many people will die? Do you know the way? ”

"How many people have died, what does it matter to me? All I need is Kimpton! ”

Glancing at little Tom, who had been kicked by himself and still able to stand up, it was obvious that Harben was surprised; But the next moment, he looked at the other party who picked up the wrench again with disdain.

"It seems that you don't even want to cherish the last time of your life! So, let me send you to meet your dead dad! ”

After speaking, Haben kicked out again; It's just that this time the target is not Tom's stomach, but the head.
