Chapter 3: The Ship Sinking in the Morning (Part I)
The soft light of the morning lazily and the breeze reflected through the half-curtained lilac room, playing with the fringed gauze tent and the crimson roses with the velvety petals of the silver vase with the leaf of grass. The faint light made the treasures of the room shine, but they still pale in comparison to the owner—
The woman, who was already elegantly reclining on a velvet sofa, was squinting her blue eyes slightly at the smooth bay outside the window.
"Miss Evelyn, the ship of the Awakening Order has been found offshore," the fair brown-haired woman standing behind her reported softly, "what do you want to do?"
After taking a leisurely sip of black tea, the hostess lowered her eyelashes lightly and responded in a velvety voice: "Inform Team Graeme later." ”
"Understood. How many trainees are there in Graeme's team, do you need anything else, Miss Evelyn?"
"Newcomer...... "The hostess playfully curled the corners of her lips, "it's worth looking forward to." Go and observe the whole thing, I'm sorry for you, Octavia. ”
"Yes, Miss Evelyn. ”

The cedar pushes open the window, and the fresh sea breeze blows in your face. Not far away, the blue bay was like a seductive blue eye, tempting him to run to Xintiandi. The boy in the mirror has fresh black hair, a healthy complexion, bright dark brown eyes, a slightly immature excited face, a gentle and bright smile, and a neat old-fashioned uniform—
This is a vibrant, likable Heavenly Punisher trainee.
He nodded to himself with satisfaction and saluted himself in the mirror: "Trainee No. 3 Zhou Xuesong, please advise!"
A little shyly smiled, he reluctantly took off his uniform jacket, carefully pinned the purple butterfly badge to his shirt, and went downstairs refreshingly.
"Good morning, Cedar. Zhaohua and Han Feng were already sitting on the terrace enjoying the morning breeze from the bay, and their faces reflected in the morning light were equally vibrant.
"Good morning!"
"Hello mother-in-law, Cedar!" Han Feng shouted with a smile as he ate the honey cake.
"We're going to hurry, Cedar, the delicious breakfast has almost been eaten by Han Feng," Zhaohua also smiled, "Mrs. Max from the internal service department has already gone back, and I will tell her which flavors you like after the morning round." ”
"Okay," Cedar sat down to take a sip of black tea, and then ate the delicate refreshment, "Yummy!"
"We'll meet at the dock...... Oh Mr. Graeme has sent a message, Cedar don't worry, he's feeding us up. Han Feng looked at the text message and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a very kind person......
"Then let's behave more well-behaved, Mr. He probably asked him to take care of us, so let him save some snacks. Zhaohua said, taking out the schedule to confirm today's events.
"Today's event is not only a morning patrol at sea, but also a welcome party in the evening, so idle. Han Feng stretched.
Indeed, if this is the style of the Miami section, then they are really the most idle Heavenly Punisher trainees. Judging from this schedule, they could go back to Curse Island for more classes. Cursed Island is relatively lenient with the trainees of their branches, stipulating that they can go back to some classes regularly, and Cedar is not sure if this is good or bad.
After staying here for a few days, apply to go back and forth to the class many times, Cedar thought so, and turned on his phone to look at the class schedule on the island of Curse, Harden, they are on the battlefield today, chemistry, linguistics, and general knowledge, I don't know what kind of course it will be.
"Finished eating?" Watching him finish eating the snack, Han Feng handed him a tissue, then stood up and stretched his arms, "Then let's go!"
They ran to the smooth bay, and the people who chatted easily at the small pier were their predecessors.
"Good morning, Mr. Graeme, Sister Bissy!"
"Good morning. The slender girl with her supplied pigtails smiled and beckoned to them, and it was Beatsy Lylai "Water Mark", who looked cheerful and kind, and very likable.
"Looks energetic and good. The middle-aged red-haired man in a suit leaning on a stake took off his sunglasses and smiled with a friendly face, which was their team leader "Courage Repeated" Brand Graeme.
"Mr. Graeme, what is our mission today?" Han Feng asked positively.
"It's just a regular inspection, just go to sea and take a turn. Excuse me, gentlemen, are you seasick?" said Brand, smiling, in a tone that seemed flattering to treat them as equal adults and colleagues.
"No, we've all been on a battleship!" Han Feng was eager to try, "Is this the speedboat?"
"Yes," Bissi expertly jumped onto the speedboat, "come on!"
"Just a few of us?"
"Well, we also have Yuma and Kyrie in our group, and they're off today. ”
Yuma, Carey...... Cedar hadn't learned what his predecessors were, but he just silently remembered the name.
"Let's go!" Han Feng jumped like a child on the side, and their speedboat also began to let out a roar of awakening, smoothly paddling through the water to leave the dock where countless small boats were moored, and rush towards the vast blue sky and sea.
So comfortable sea breeze and sunshine...... Cedar's gaze squinted comfortably as the seabirds swept over the glittering pale blue sea and cast onto the cloud-covered sky.
"Senior, do you really just need an early patrol today?"
"That's the day of life for the Miami Punisher," Bissi said lightly, "you have to plan what you're going to do, because we don't often accept kids because we're worried about their lack of self-control." ”
"Hahaha, I don't think we're going to be too lazy!" Han Feng laughed, "We can go to the gym, Cedar Zhaohua, right?"
"That's going to have to be done," Brand laughed, too, "I don't want to go back and report that you're clubbing, drinking, drugs, or whatever." ”
"Hahaha, how is that possible!" Cedar laughed in surprise, those things he had never thought of.
He wanted to continue to laugh easily, but Brand's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he turned slightly sideways to connect the contact: "This is Team Graeme." ”
Will there be anything?" Cedar looked at his friends, and then looked closely at Brand's increasingly solemn face.
"Understood," Brand said aloud, looking at Bissi before gesturing to the boys, "'Awakening Order,' nine nautical miles to the east. ”
"That's ...... What?" Seeing him disconnect, Cedar asked cautiously.
"They don't have much activity in the white world, and it's no wonder...... It's a bit tricky to explain, but there's no way, you still have to be careful-" Bissi showed a grim look, increased his horsepower and sped away, "Junior brothers, you know that humans can also turn into demons, right?"
"Hmm!" Han Feng immediately responded, his expression becoming cold.
I hadn't heard of this cedar before, but this situation is imaginable, and it is not difficult to accept.
"Demonic awakening, that's what we all call this condition. And the Awakening Order is an organization formed by this kind of secondary demon, so be careful, you can't hesitate when you meet them!" Bissi's beautiful face also tightened, "We don't want you to think that the Miami branch is such a bad place, but what branch can really be a holiday paradise? Be alert, you're going to go!"
Brand stood steady and pulled out a gun from the inside of his suit: "Cedar, you feel it." ”
"Okay!" Cedar hurriedly drove the magic perception, "There is a magic reaction, it feels...... There are a lot of magicians out there!"
"Is it strong or weak compared to us?" Han Feng asked again.
This one...... Cedar was used to the powerful power of the demon clan at the city level before, but this time......
"It's probably not better than us, but there may be hidden breaths!"
"Okay, be careful and vigilant approach, and prepare to unfold the 'Silent Seal'. Brand nodded, and continued to instruct. Their speedboat cut through the sea and sped forward, and soon the shadow of the ship appeared not far away.
"Fellows, we're not outlaws, so you have to remember the procedures and be sure to report your identity before you make any moves!" reminded Beatsy, shouting as she approached the ship, "Miami Punisher, please stop and let us do our regular check!"
The ship didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, and suddenly began to accelerate after a few moments.
"I'll repeat it again!" this time it was Brand who tore out his throat in warning, his voice was so loud that the magic must have spread all around, "Miami Punisher, please stop and be checked!"
This time, perhaps it was finally decided, and suddenly there was a wave-like magic fluctuation from the ship, and Cedar felt a high heat reaction: "It should be fire magic!"
As soon as the words fell, Bissi stood up and raised her arms, and the sea water around their dinghy swirled up, condensing into white in an instant above their heads: "The enemy confirms, now start the static seal!"
The violent blizzard overwhelmed the heat and froze all around, and Cedar lowered his hand to look, and after melting the scattered snow and ice, a huge shadow of the ship was revealed, and—
The pastel-colored, spar-like barrier seals the boundary.
Although it is not a white fog barrier that symbolizes the white world, this moment of dead silence has made Cedar completely recall, the time when he came into contact with all this-
He looked at Zhaohua, and Zhaohua's expression was the same.
"Let's go!" Kissie waved her hand, and the snow and sea took shape again, turning into a staircase leading to the ship, "Hurry up, it's going to melt!"
Now—it should be different from then, right? I already have ideals, determination, and partners, not some empty demon king's henchmen, but a real Heavenly Punisher trainee!
Follow Brand and Bissi as they race up the staircase of rapidly melting ice, where the flames of battle greet them!
In the midst of Brand's wind-like gunfire, Cedar freed the seal, and after kicking away the oncoming black shadow, he saw the eyes of flames—
Begin with, about the malice and intrigue that fills the place, about their fate, this is their determination, their work, even on such a beautiful morning, because they are the punishers of heaven, the bearers of doom.
