Chapter 367: Chaotic Situation
After the three tough men in black left, Tang Juyi knew their identities from the mouths of the fishermen next to him, who were the subordinates of the owner of the Godnitz Manor.
The Goldnitz Manor is a manor controlled by a well-known family in Haichao City, and that family is the "Phil Family", one of the three major families in Haichao City, and it is also the family with the most friendly attitude towards outsiders.
Judging from the name, it is not difficult for Tang Juyi to deduce that the people of the Phil family and him should not be of the same race, but considering that there is a black big brother among the three tough guys just now, I think the people of the Phil family should not particularly care about the differences between different races.
Tang Juyi also learned the name of the Phil family from the captain of the previous ship, but he only knew the names of the three families, and the other specific contents, such as the name of the person in charge of the family and the scope of control, were unknown.
Phil, Frenza, and Bosh are known as the three major families in Ocean Tide City, among which Phil is barely friendly to outsiders, while the other two are fiercely hostile, and have even been violent against outsiders more than once.
Due to the remoteness of the outside city and the special circumstances in the city, the legal system is no longer strong, and these three families have become the most powerful voices in the city, even more effective than the laws and regulations hanging in front of the police station.
In addition to these three families, there is a force made up of those who believe in "gods". They don't have specific names, and they don't have an exact name for the existence of their beliefs, but they use "gods" as a pronoun, and they refer to themselves as "gods' eyes", believing that those illusions are gods looking at the world through their eyes.
This kind of content that is not normal when you hear it, Tang Juyi is only used as a reference, of course he will not take it seriously, but considering his fear when the illusion came, Tang Juyi also has a great fear of the ability of this "god".
According to Tang Juyi's speculation on the current clues, the "god" is very likely to be some kind of undersea creature with the ability of spiritual interference, and it may not even be a creature, but an item with a similar function.
There must be an inseparable connection between the emergence of this situation and the shipwreck, which is taboo to talk about by the locals.
Back to the topic, due to Tang Juyi's heroic performance and the particularity of his attention by the Phil family, the surrounding fishermen or crew members all remembered his name and talked about it, thinking that it would not be long before it was introduced to the city. In this way, if Jiang Shuiyue is also in Haichao City, he should also be able to know the news.
In the conversation with the fishermen, Tang Juyi did not find out any information about the "32" key of the dead boatman, and no one had heard of any secret warehouse or anything like that for the fisherman, only that he was a loner bachelor named Jose.
After getting this information, Tang Juyi also knew that there would probably be no other plots here, so he no longer stopped at the port, but entered Haichao City.
As the captain said before, there are many places in the city where the sea has been flooded, directly connected to the ocean outside, and it seems that the sea level has risen a lot in a certain period of time, or rather, the island has sunk a lot in a certain period of time.
The temperature inside the city was much cooler than outside, and the sky was always covered with a thick gray-white fog, and there was no sunlight, making the buildings of Haichao City look gloomy.
"It's all orthodox Western-style architecture, and most of the people on the boat before were Western-faced, so it seems that it's really a dimensional world with Western cultural background as the core."
On the one hand, observing the surrounding buildings on the street, Tang Juyi made a judgment on the other.
Within Tang Juyi's line of sight, there were many places on the street that were damaged, either the wall next to it had collapsed, or the public facilities had been seriously damaged, and it seemed that the whole had suffered a violent impact.
Linked to the drunken old boatman's mouth "following that monstrous wave" before, Tang Juyi also guessed that it was mostly caused by the waves from the ocean. Although the tide receded and partially resurfaced the ground, some of it was still submerged by the sea, and the outcrops were in chaos.
Pedestrians on the street always looked at each other with wary eyes, rarely speaking, even when exchanging items.
When they saw Tang Juyi's dress and face, the vigilance in their eyes was even stronger, as if they were worried that Tang Juyi would take out a machete from his arms at any time and start wielding it indiscriminately.
"Sure enough, the attitude towards outsiders is not friendly, if there is an attribute similar to 'prestige', it should be at the level of [Alert] now, which is much worse than [Neutrality]."
Tang Juyi deliberately lowered the brim of his hat so as not to have too much direct eye contact with these aborigines.
Although compared to other cities, Haichao City can only be regarded as a small town, but after the influx of many Hell Assessors, they quickly dispersed and lost their traces. Even after walking for more than ten minutes, Tang Juyi still didn't see any of the faces that had been impressed before.
"I don't know how Emir has done with the information gathering of this Ocean Tide City......"
The only road signs on the side of the road had been destroyed, which made Tang Juyi feel very troubled, because he didn't know the geographical distribution map of this Haichao City, and he couldn't get news from the mouths of the locals.
Suddenly, a collision sound came from Tang Juyi's right side, followed by an angry shout:
"Bastard! Put things down! ”
Tang Juyi turned his head to look, but found that a man who was obviously not a local was running away with his head bowed with a bag of things, and behind him was a merchant with an angry face, holding a chopping knife for chopping bones in his hand, which looked full of anger.
Tang Juyi just glanced at it and understood what the situation was, and couldn't help but feel a little funny:
"Is there anyone really stupid enough to snatch supplies by snatching? Is hellish difficulty a joke in the world? ”
The man who only cared about fleeing for his life was from the same boat as Tang Juyi, because Tang Juyi had some impression of his face, he was standing alone in the corner, looking very strange to everything, and he didn't communicate with anyone, thinking that he should be an inexperienced novice, not even necessarily a detached person.
It is not incomprehensible for a person experiencing this type of task for the first time, especially when he does not yet know the specific situation, to make such a decision rashly. For example, the man in front of him probably thought that as long as he ran away after the robbery, he would be safe and sound by finding a random place to hide.
There are so many people in the world, and it is not strange that one or two stupid people appear, Tang Juyi knows this very well, so he just sighed slightly.
Then, Tang Juyi kicked over a pile of debris piled up on the corner of the street, causing the tattered furniture and boxes to roll down to the middle of the road, blocking the man's way. Because he was bent on running faster, the man didn't have time to react, and he was directly tripped and fell to the ground, and had a sweet kiss with the stone brick floor.
Tang Juyi leaned against the wall in a leisurely manner, just watching the vendor with a knife catch up from behind, and the man who fell down was also able to get up, obviously too late to escape.
He raised his head and saw Tang Juyi blocking his way, with a look of surprise and anger on his face:
"Why are you—ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked behind him and knocked down on the pile of debris again.
"Shameful thief ......"
The vendor wore only a stained leather bib, revealing his thick and powerful arms, his face was full of anger, and the cleaver in his hand was glowing with cold.
I saw that the trader stepped on the back of the man who fell to the ground, and then without hesitation, he raised the knife in his hand, and the chopping knife in his hand was like a cold light, Tang Juyi didn't even see his movements clearly, and the man's head was directly separated from his body!
A trace of surprise flashed in Tang Juyi's eyes, even he didn't expect that this vendor would be so decisive in killing people, and his movements were so clean, as if he had hacked a poultry to death!
