Chapter 0816 - Anomaly (Plus Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Sealand City.
Ten years have passed, and Jenny has grown into a young and energetic girl with curly blond hair.
She loves the city.
Although the apartment is dilapidated and small, and you have to listen to the occasional complaints and rants from the tenants next door, you can buy many things that are not available in the township.
His father, Wick, became a watchmaker, earning a little more than when he was in the country.
And you can also worship every week at Mother Nature's church – it's a real cathedral!
Early Monday morning.
With a sandwich in her mouth, she hurried out at Mrs. Helia's advice to help in her father's repair shop.
Thankfully, women in the city are not subject to so many constraints and are free to walk the streets and look for work.
Although, this is regarded as an 'inferior person', a real lady of high society, but she never shows her head, but Jenny doesn't care about this, she is originally a wild girl in the countryside.
'But I don't want to work in a textile factory, at least I have to become a craftsman, which pays a lot ......
Jenny quickly finished her portion of the sandwich, still holding a paper bag in her hand, which was her father's share of Wick.
The other party slept directly in the store due to overtime last night.
As she passed by the docklands, Jenny glanced at it and was stunned.
In the docklands, near Sealeaf Street, near the warehouse, a row of sheriffs cordoned off the area, and several priests of Mother Nature with green leaves embroidered on their robes wandered.
"What's going on?"
With this question in mind, she walked into a repair shop.
There are many hanging bells of various styles hanging from the walls, and a pair of monocles hanging from the bridge of Wick's nose is carefully unpacking a silver-chained pocket watch.
"Daddy...... What happened to Sea Leaf Street? ”
Jenny placed the sandwich on the table and began to change into her overalls.
"I heard that a transport ship from the Eastern Continent had a problem, and a beast ran out and injured people......
Wick replied without looking up.
"Are there any animals on the transport ships of the Eastern Continent? That's a huge expense...... Jenny's eyes lit up, "Maybe it's a circus order?" They intend to exhibit the special animals of the Eastern Continent at one time? That's great! ”
Well, another reason she likes the city is that it's so spiritually rich.
Opera houses, circuses, and restaurants and shops of all kinds.
As long as you have a big wallet, you can go from the street to the end of the street and buy a whole bunch of favorite things.
This is how Jenny's pocket money disappears into various consumption traps.
"Who knows......"
Wick muttered, "It must be a lion, right?" Or a tiger? ”
"I hope it's the monsters of the Eastern Continent......" Jenny opened her toolbox and got into her work as well.
Living in a big city, not working for a day, heavy rent, food pressure, can make a person have nightmares.
It's like a whip that keeps pulling people to work.
It's just that compared to the whip of the slave owners of the old days, it is invisible and more acceptable.
……
Night.
"Daddy, I'll go back first!"
Jenny, who had made an appointment with her best friend to watch a musical and dance together, was the first to run out of the door.
"Alas...... Dead girl! ”
Wick didn't have time to call in the back, so he could only sigh: "I know how to play all day long, be careful on the road......"
Jenny didn't hear the second half of the sentence, and the little leather shoes sped happily down the road.
The sky was getting darker, but I could barely make my way.
In addition, the light coming out of the windows of the shops on both sides also has a slightly warm smell.
Just as she was turning a dark alley, Jenny suddenly stopped walking and shuddered.
She felt an icy chill coming from the darkness.
On the road ahead, there seemed to be a hazy black shadow.
"Sir...... You ......"
She stood on her tiptoes, trying to get past the other.
But just as she was about to pass through, the distance got closer and closer, allowing her to see the other party's face clearly.
Distorted features, a cracked mouth, thick shark-like teeth, disgusting fluid flowing from the mouth, and blue-black scales......
Jenny immediately understood that this was not a 'human' at all, but a 'monster'!
At this time, it seemed to be holding a headless corpse in its arms, and it was rapidly gnawing on it.
"Sorry...... Disturbed ......"
Jenny turned around and ran wildly without saying a word.
Just run this distance, turn a corner, and there is a shop open a hundred meters away.
The next moment, she heard heavy footsteps behind her.
Jenny didn't even have to look back to imagine the monster giving up the 'food' in its mouth and taking a step after her.
'No...... It's too fast. ’
After only a few steps, she seemed to smell the fishy smell coming from behind, and her body trembled.
'Are you going to die?' ’
Jenny felt the breath of death descend on her, and everything around her seemed to slow down.
The memories of the scenes in her mind quickly appeared in front of her eyes.
Unfortunately, her body slowed down as well.
'No...... I don't want to die...... I'm not reconciled! ’
I don't know why, a huge unwillingness emerged from her heart.
Shout!
At this moment, a black light flew towards him, hitting the monster behind him.
"Let's go!"
Jenny saw a figure rushing towards her.
The other party was wearing a gray coat with a hat pressed low to cover his face.
That was ...... Flying? ’
Her mind was a little stagnant, but she was still pulled by the other party into an alley.
"Found the fish-man!"
"In the name of Mother Nature, purify!"
It wasn't long before there was a faint exclamation and roar from behind.
Bang!
The explosion suddenly sounded, which shocked Jenny, came to her senses, and began to struggle: "Let go of me...... Who are you? ”
"It should be safe here......"
Sulu turned around and smiled: "Introduce yourself, my name is Turing, and I am a scholar!" I saved you just now...... After all, even if the monster doesn't catch up with you and gets bumped into by the 'guardians' of the church, you still have a good ......."
Scholar ...... Turing? ”
Jenny gasped and realized that she had followed her to a beach.
The waves of the night are raging, lapping against the shore, bringing cold air: "And monsters, guardians...... What the hell is going on? ”
"Specifically, do you believe in the existence of transcendent beings? Tonight, you're in for an anomaly......"
Sulu shrugged his shoulders: "And...... Is that your attitude towards your savior? Well? ”
Jenny's face flushed, and then she felt that her attitude was a little wrong, and her voice lowered: "I'm sorry...... And also...... Thank you! ”
