The squads dispersed and traveled in different directions to the port.

Because of the situation that Han Dong has seen and cannot understand.

Immediately linked what had just happened to a Nicole in his head related to the 'deep sea'. Little Paw to make contact.

Nicole's existence is also the main reason why Han Dong chose the port incident when faced with the situation of 'choosing one of the three'.

Not only can you use Nicole's identity as a 'family member of the deep sea' to quickly delve into the investigation of the incident, but you can also try to find opportunities to improve Nicole's level from the incident.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But......

"The man had a problem with the conch, but I don't know exactly where they came from.

I have some homology with them, but not very strongly. ”

"Is that so? It's no wonder that Nicole was born in the "Mist" system of the world of destiny...... You're also dealing with dependents, not real deep demons.

The proportion of the sea is much higher than that of the inland, and there are countless alien races hiding in the sea.

In the early investigation stage, Nicole will stay in prison for a long time.

You have royal blood from the deep sea, and your rash appearance could make me the target of public criticism. ”

"Got it......" Nicole's tone was a little reluctant, but she didn't say much.

"Don't worry, I won't be holding you back for too long...... The problem in this seaport city should be bigger than any of us could have estimated. ”

……

During the act.

Wen Li in the team suddenly asked, "Nicholas, that man just now...... Is it a normal human? ”

"Normal is not normal.

His body underwent a deep change in favor of fish, but his brain showed no signs of decay...... Whether it can be counted as a human or not, I can't say for sure.

This time the investigation incident is a bit strange.

Whether it was from Lucius's expression or from the expressions of the knights at Silver Edge, it seemed that it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Demps, have you seen that? ”

As Han Dong throws the question out to the well-read little brother who has a deep connection with the outside of the city.

Demps also shook his head: "I have rarely touched the realm of the 'sea', and I don't know more than you...... Judging by the current bizarre situation, caution is indeed needed. ”

"Hmm."

Soon.

The Raven's Whisper team finds a high ground and looks out over the port town of Ostia, where the survey is located.

In the eternal night, the port city, with most of the buildings lit up, is revealed.

It is a large, densely built town surrounded by a crescent-shaped port.

Just standing in the highland area two hundred meters away from the town, I could already smell the rotting smell of dead fish.

The streets that run through the town, the originally flat concrete floor has been replaced by puddles, mud, dirt accumulation, etc., and the townspeople walk in a stooping posture between the streets of this dirty supermarket.

The complexion is mostly gloomy.

The wide-glazed eyes seem to have lost their blinking, and they remain as open as possible for a long time, and they often need to be rinsed with water.

Perhaps due to economic problems, many of the townspeople who walked outside did not wear shoes, or only wore half shoes, and their soles were larger than the average person, and a few even had webbed structures between their toes.

There are also some people who seem to be wealthier (wearing long, unbroken shoes) who are almost indistinguishable from normal humans, and in addition to being better dressed, they carry guns and strange conches with them, and they are always on the lookout for others around them.

In addition to the residents, the architecture of the port town is also very distinctive.

A large inn with tentacle style and shell decoration on the signboard,

The huge chimneys of the ironworks constantly emit thick black smoke,

The entire coastline is densely packed with docks, and there are a large number of people in the activity.

Once you cross the coastline, the entire sea is obscured by a thick fog, and only a blurred shadow of lights can be seen...... At least 10 or more fishing vessels are sailing in the offshore area,

On the surface.

There was no trace of heretical defilement in the town, nor was there any sign of heretical church activity.

This human town, which is separated from the space of destiny and the existence outside the city, is self-sufficient in a 'peculiar' way.

Most of the members of the team had difficulty understanding what they were seeing.

Han Dong's attention stayed outside the town, staring at the damp and dock-filled harbor area.

Once, when Han Dong was upgrading his faceless head for the first time, his consciousness had lived in a port similar to this one for the rest of his life as a fisherman.

Then he continued to look ahead, gazing at the coastline shrouded in thick fog.

"That's ......"

At some point.

Dozens of lights from the pleasure boat, most of them overlapping, and the overlapping lights are like big eyes behind the fog.

Light and shadow, dense fog, and some shadows from under the deep sea form a clear black-white difference, constructing a huge black shadow outline.

It was as if there was a giant being in the dense fog that was larger than the entire port town, watching Han Dong, the 'peep'......

For a moment, Han Dong's brain produced a strong sense of resistance, accompanied by a low maniacal laugh, resisting the invasion of some foreign thought.

The port is back to normal again.

However, Han Dong has a problem here.

The "Mobile Title Deed-Scarlet Manor" controlled by Han Dong completely lost its sense at this moment, and it was unable to teleport itself to the manor, nor could it establish contact with the existence in the manor.

And the fixed title deed-Stuart Manor also felt far, far away from Han Dong, and could not call for assistance from the Raven Man.

When Han Dong looked at Demps, the latter's expression was equally solemn.

Obviously, Demps, as the second-in-command of Crimson Manor, has also lost his senses...... At the same time, the connection with the mother was also lost.

(3 hours later)

Three teams assemble to synthesize all the information they have gathered about the port.

What is almost certain is that the town is self-sufficient in a very peculiar way.

Superficial investigation has not been able to confirm whether the harbor town harbors alien spirits from the depths.

As for the heretics who may be enshrined in the deep sea, they may also be hidden in the ordinary world, or they may be hidden in a cave in the sea cliff somewhere, carrying out evil worship rituals, and the specific situation needs to be investigated in depth.

According to the current survey, the most obvious weird sign in the town is the "conch".

All the inhabitants of the town who sleep will have a conch covering their faces.

Just as they were about to send this information back to the Holy City, it was discovered that the clockwork devices worn by everyone were disconnected from the Holy City......

"It may be more than 100 kilometers away, and due to the influence of the eternal night environment, the transmission of the magic circle is blocked...... Ask those who are good at moving quickly to come out and follow me back to the Gaine Forest to deliver a message to the Holy City.

Others are waiting here. ”

It was Captain Deeds who was the highest-ranking person who was proposing.

Sister Jane, and Abel are listed one after another.

The three of them formed a communication team and immediately rushed to the [sub-safe zone] as quickly as possible.

About twenty minutes passed...... When the three of them returned along the main road, their expressions became extremely heavy.

"Captain Deeds, what's the next step from the Holy City?"

“…… We're trapped.

It may be that at some point overlapping space has been introduced or some other unknown circumstance......

There is no Gaine Forest on the way back, and the road back is only a sea cliff at the end.

In other words, we are currently on an unknown island, and the road back to the city no longer exists. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
