The wind was on a sunny day, and a cruise ship was moored at the port of Xihai City, and the hull of the ship was seriously worn, as if it had just experienced a storm.

The docks are stacked with unattended containers, like parcels stranded on a shipping line.

The manager of Xinghuo Group negotiated with the construction team leader and looked displeased:

"Three more days to dock? Can't you speed up the repair process? ”

The man in the hard hat said disdainfully: "Where do you see there are people now?" The monster thing is so big, the laborers have long run out! Being able to find someone to repair your ship is enough to give you face! ”

The manager thinks, you are clearly sitting on the ground and starting the price.

The words were not speculative, so I had to turn around and go back to the deck.

There was a big hole on the deck, looking at the hole, the manager's eyelids jumped, this was actually a human body, kicked out.

Come to think of it, the physique of some monsters is far inferior to the man in front of you!

The manager looked in awe, rubbed his hands, and looked at the man in sunglasses who was lying on his back on the sun lounger and holding a photo album of beautiful women, and he was in his heart.

"Tell me what you have to say." Brahma tasted the photo, and his tone was lazy, revealing the majesty of the beak that could not be ignored.

The manager carefully worded: "Well, Mr. Brahma, the cruise ship is badly damaged, and we have to stay in the Golden State for three days... On behalf of Xinghuo Group, I apologize for the inconvenience..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Brahma spread the photo on his chest, lowered his sunglasses, and revealed a pair of fierce eyes with cunning:

"For these three days, I've been disembarking and moving freely, and it's not counted in the eighty-day itinerary—no problem, right?"

"Absolutely! Please! The manager straightened his back, paused, and suggested, "Please allow me to remind you that the Golden State is not safe recently, and S-class monsters are rampant, so let's leave immediately after three days......

The S-class monster from the deep sea caused a lot of panic in Xihai City. Even if there are national soldiers sitting in Xihai City, there are still a large number of citizens fleeing, and the whole Xihai City is about to come in a storm, like an ant's nest before the rainstorm comes.

"S-class monsters are still secondary." Brahma said lazily, "Everyone is more afraid of the monsters of the sea!" ”

Hearing this, the manager nodded.

The giant killer crab reminded the citizens of the "monster of the sea" that ravaged the Golden State more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, Theseus, the 'monster of the sea' that ravaged the Golden State, was like the mythical nine-headed sea serpent, with the ability to be almost "immortal".

At that time, the federal soldier 'Lyter', who was good at using a sword, killed three of Theseus's heads like sea serpents with a single blow.

Just as the people rejoiced, the remaining six heads, which were lurking beneath the surface of the sea, suddenly launched an attack, seriously injuring Littel. People were horrified to find that the monster of the sea actually had nine huge heads, and even if one was cut off, the broken head would grow immediately.

In despair, Littel rushed to Theseus, swung his sword, and burst into flames like the sun, sinking into the sea with the monsters of the sea.

During his trip to the Golden State, the manager had talked to Brahma about this many times, and he couldn't help but sigh at the moment:

"It's a pity that Litair is no longer there, otherwise even if Theseus makes a comeback, there is no need to worry."

"I've heard, Litel, that he has a son." Brahma suddenly gossiped.

The manager replied, "This... I don't know, it seems to be true, and the son of Litair seems to have kindled the fire as well..."

"Lao Tzu is a hero, I hope my son is not a bad seed."

Brahma grinned, and the fish jumped off the beach chair, put one hand in his pocket, and waved his hand behind his back:

"I'll go to Xihai City for a visit and I'll be back soon!"

*

At 10 a.m., the flight arrived in Xihai City.

Lin Xiao and Jolena walked out of the airport, the iron-gray sky was shrouded in clouds, the air was damp, and the pedestrians seemed to have a premonition that a rainstorm was coming, and their steps were hurried.

"It was fine in the morning, but now it's a different day." Lin Xiao raised her head.

"Find a place first, and wait for the ravens to come." Jolene glanced at the message and said, "He seems to have something to explain to us." ”

"Wait a minute." Lin Xiao lowered her head and took out her mobile phone and opened the chat interface of Jinlong Zhenjun.

The last message was sent before boarding.

"Heavy Swordman: "Zhenjun, where will we meet in the afternoon?" 」

"Golden Dragon Zhenjun: "Around four o'clock, in the square near Xihai Beach, I will live here for the time being." 」

"Jinlong Zhenjun: "You've arrived, it's about dinner time, we can go to a seafood dinner." (grinning)"

"Heavy Swordman: It's hard work to kill monsters, so I'll ask you this time. (Leopard Laughter, JPG)"

"Golden Dragon True Monarch: "This...... It's a long story, but I'll explain it to you in person! ”」

The base time is four o'clock in the afternoon, so there is no need to rush there, and when the itinerary settles down, it is not too late to drive a motorcycle to Xihai Beach.

The meeting place agreed with Brother Chu Yun was located in the commercial center a few kilometers away from the airport, where the headquarters of the investigation team in Xihai City was set up, and it was in the same direction as Xihai Beach.

Lin Xiao thought, strange... What does Zhenjun want to explain, you should know later...

"Let's go to the business center first, and wait for the raven." Lin Xiao took back her phone.

"If you take the elevated road, the journey will take about half an hour... Do you have a vehicle card? Jolene asked.

"It's just a single motorcycle." Lin Xiao said.

"Hmm...... I prepared in advance. ”

The girl with a high ponytail condensed a vehicle card between her fingers, infused it with source power like a golden flame, and threw the card into the parking space.

The light particles condensed and formed, and it was a sports car painted in dark red, with two narrow headlights flashing at the front.

The logo is a pair of wings that fly with wings and comes from the glorious old automaker, Aston Martin.

"Get in the car."

The model is not as ostentatious as the red Ferrari, and has the gentleman and restraint of the glorious country.

The muscle memory provided by "Vehicle Driving" made Lin Xiao eager to try: "Do you need a driver?" ”

Jolena hesitated, she was indeed better at driving motorcycles, nodded and said, "If you can, please excuse me." ”

Lin Xiao opened the front door, sat in the driver's seat, looked ahead, the side face line was tough, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised:

"Fasten your seatbelts, we need to hurry!"

Jolena suddenly felt a trace of regret, propped her arms on the car door, and said in a low voice: "It's really not because, do you want to drag rac......"

Lin Xiao didn't answer, held the palm of the steering wheel, and put his fingers on it in turn.

The ability to "drive a vehicle" is not simply the ability to drive, but more like an "assimilation", making the vehicle a part of itself.

Therefore, even if it is a vehicle card without driving permission, with the effect of this ability, Lin Xiao can still obtain driving permission.

The instrument panel lights up blue, the turbo engine roars, but the car doesn't feel the slightest roar or vibration. Aston Martin ejected.

Jolene's eyes widened, and she realized the "push-back feeling" admired by the vehicle card evaluators, but it only lasted for a moment, and the car began to accelerate at a reassuring and uniform linear speed.

Hovering in Jolena's mind, there was only one question mark left.

I clearly didn't give him the key, and I didn't have a voiceprint to unlock... How did he start the vehicle?

Glancing at Lin Xiao, who was engrossed, she didn't ask, thinking, his driving skills are indeed good...

During the contemplation, the luxury sports car exploded into speed and rushed onto the viaduct. The sky of Xihai City became more and more gloomy, and the lead-colored clouds continued to eat away in all directions, as if a huge iron curtain was hanging over Xihai City. The water vapor was thick, and a light rain splashed down on the windshield window.

"It's raining." Jolene frowned slightly.

Xihai City is a coastal port city, and once the water level rises, monsters such as deep divers often invade the city.

The current Xihai City has just experienced the siege of S-level monsters, and it is under the shadow of the 'monsters of the sea', and people's hearts are in turmoil.

It's raining at this juncture, which is not good news......

Lin Xiao turned down the wipers, and the two wipers slowly wiped away the bean-sized rain marks, and the repetition process was very quiet, unlike Chu Yun's black car, the wipers would make a sore creaking sound.

"It looks like it's going to be a rainstorm."

Lin Xiao was a little worried about meeting Zhenjun later, it was not a good weather for going out, especially when the motorcycle did not have the function of sheltering from the rain.

But summer showers are very common, maybe in the afternoon, the rain will naturally stop, and it is more important to meet Brother Chu Yun now.

"We're almost there." Driving off the viaduct, Lin Xiao looked out the car window, "Park at the commercial plaza, let's go to the nearby coffee shop." ”

"Hmm."

Once the car had stopped, Jolena unbuckled her seatbelt, stepped out of the door, took a deep breath of air, and looked up at the sky covered in gray clouds.

She remembers the air. It rains all year round, and there is a smell of rust and a big factory in the air.

But there are some differences. This oppressive flow comes from the air currents on the sea, and the cyclone hundreds of kilometers away coils into hurricanes, vibrating the air and transmitting this uneasiness all the way here.

"A typhoon is coming......

Jolene whispered, "Here in the Golden State, call it a hurricane." ”

A black umbrella curtain appeared in front of her eyes, and Jolene turned her head to see the man holding a black umbrella, standing side by side with her.

"Every typhoon day, I would hide in the house, close the windows tightly, and listen to the wind vibrate the windows, and the more vibrating they were, the calmer my heart became...... There is a sense of security that has been abandoned by the world, leaving only one house. Lin Xiao said slowly.

"A sense of security?"

"Well, the more intense the typhoon, the stronger my sense of security...... It's as if you're out of it. Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, "But now it seems that we have to break into the typhoon." ”

Jolena lowered her head and sighed: "Is this what you call 'special training'?" ”

Lin Xiaogang wanted to say that if you feel difficult, you can stop the special training and wait for the rainstorm to pass before officially starting.

His eyes were attracted by the figure walking in the heavy rain.

He was dressed quite abruptly, with a figure of only one and a half meters, wearing a gray and white hood, with his hands in his gray and white trouser pockets, but carrying a giant blade about the length of the others.

The blade is wide, the blade is sharp, and the round chop goes down, as if it can directly cut off a tall horse.

But with the height of the teenager of one and a half meters, it is difficult to imagine the scene of him wielding this horse chopping knife.

The young man looked indifferent, wore a hood, and staggered past Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao turned his head to look back, remembering that it was the direction of Xihai Beach, and it was also the meeting place agreed with Jinlong Zhenjun.

"Hey, kids!" Lin Xiao shouted, "The rainstorm is coming, and the seaside is dangerous!" ”

Jolena was a little stunned and glanced at Lin Xiao.

Although they are small, they carry such a big knife to warn others.

When you open your mouth, you call other people's children, and it is not too much to say that it is 'accurately stepping on thunder'!

The young man really stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Xiao, revealing a pair of cold and stiff eyes.

"Don't bother."

After speaking, the young man continued to walk, and Lin Xiao became more and more sure that he was going to the beach and continued to stop him.

"What are you doing at the beach—do you want to give you a ride?"

There was no response, and the figure of the hooded boy was like a young wolf living in isolation, with the flame of hatred burning under his eyes.

Go to the beach...... Meet Theseus.

And then.

Alger clenched his palms, and the scene of his father swinging his saber and sinking into the sea with Theseus came to mind, clenching his teeth as if to crack them.

Revenge with your own hands.

……

Twig-like lightning flashed in the clouds, thunder exploded, and the rain became more and more rapid, like a reservoir opening its gates, and thousands of tons of rain fell down.

It was completely dark, the commercial street was empty, the rain curtain on the glass window was Cen Cen, and in the coffee shop, the three of them looked out the window worriedly.

"Before I came, I didn't expect it to rain so much." Lin Xiao said.

"The Meteorological Bureau has issued a notice, and it is a super typhoon above level 12." Jolene said.

The thunder shook the bone china cup and the saucer, Chu Yun frowned, and said in a low voice:

"I'm worried that it's not a typhoon caused by a tropical cyclone...... It's a ...... caused by monster activity."

Jolena's red eyes flashed slightly: "You mean, the monster of the sea, Theseus?" ”

Chu Yun shook his head.

"I don't know...... However, Lin Xiao. He looked over.

"What's wrong?"

"The team leader instructed that the work of our team in the Golden State is under your full command." There was a hint of tiredness in Chu Yun's voice, "No matter what, ensuring your own safety is the most important thing." ”

Lin Xiao nodded: "Understood-be optimistic, maybe it's just an ordinary typhoon?" ”

Crackling!

Thick thunder and lightning fell straight down on the open space in front of the coffee house, and the interior light was blinded for a moment, and then turned on again, and the three of them looked at the clearing, only to see the masonry shattering and bursting into pieces.

Jolena and Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao silently.

"Okay...... This is indeed not ordinary at all. Lin Xiao scratched her head.

"Do you still want to meet netizens?" Jolene looked over.

"See netizens?" Chu Yun's tone was surprised, "At this time? ”

Lin Xiao coughed lightly: "I'm still thinking about ......"

Looking down at the phone, the chat interface was fixed on the last message he sent.

The content is roughly, because of the bad weather, consider reuniting another day.

The message was sent an hour ago, and Zhenjun has not replied yet...... Lin Xiao was a little undecided.

This kind of rainstorm is nothing to a seventh-order national scholar, and it is impossible for the true monarch's itinerary to be easily changed......

If Zhenjun didn't reply until the end, Lin Xiao still decided to rush to meet him in the rain.

"Hey, you haven't explained yet, what the hell is going on netizens." Chu Yun said.

"It's a senior who has helped me a lot." Lin Xiao said, "So, if he doesn't take the initiative to reschedule, it is still necessary for me to meet." ”

"Okay......" Chu Yun nodded: "Pay attention to safety." ”

I can't go out in the rainstorm, so it's better to stay in the coffee shop and wait for Lin Xiao to come back.

After another half an hour, Lin Xiao glanced at the mobile phone with no news, and stood up: "I have to go... Try to come back early. ”

"I'm going to lend you a vehicle card?" Jolene asked.

"No, I'll go there on a motorcycle, it's faster."

The torrential rain engulfed the whole city, and in the pouring rain, Lin Xiao put on a motorcycle helmet, automatically displayed a protective suit on the outside of his body, drove a heavy locomotive, and nodded to the two people in the glass window.

The locomotive rumbled like a beast of steel, its wheels splashed with water, and its body split through the rain curtain and galloped towards the west of the city.

[Insert emergency alerts and road condition messages.] 】

Jolene looked back thoughtfully, looking up at the coffee shop's hanging TV.

[Affected by the sudden heavy rainstorm, the port, elevated, and scenic spots in Xihai City are closed urgently, and the public is requested to do a good job of protection in time and avoid going out ......]

This is a broadcast for ordinary citizens, and at the same time, the Card Masters Association also issued an emergency broadcast for card masters.

"A large number of monsters have appeared along the coast of Xihai City! The group of deep divers is heading towards the city, please do whatever it takes to exterminate the monster swarm that has broken into the city! ”

On the coast of Xihai City, there is purgatory for adults, and the wind and rain have swept the coast, buildings have collapsed, and the crowd has screamed.

The dense crowd of fish crawled out of the sea, and under the leadership of the deep divers led by them, they constantly broke through the blockade line of the investigation team.

"Request support from District 3!!"

"There is a Deep Diver Commander in Area 7 - Help, it's an A-level Deep Diver!"

"I can't stand it, the battle line is shrinking in the direction of the city, this is a monster attack!!"

Heavy rain splashed the lenses of the Golden Dragon Zhenjun. He looked at the tragic scene, trembling, shortness of breath, red eyes, lightning like oracle bone writing flashing in front of his eyes, and an indescribable indignation in his chest.

Is there anything I should do?

But there is nothing you can do about it, you can only watch the group of deep divers break into Xihai City!

Rumble!!

The canopy exploded with thunder.

The waves on the sea were surging, the sky was as dark as ink, and the lightning bolts danced like silver snakes, reflecting the waves thousands of feet high.

In the midst of the waves, three huge sea serpent heads appeared, screaming into the sky, and pale thunder and lightning illuminated everyone's pale faces.

Monster of the Sea, Theseus!!

……
