Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~

With the sound of a loud whistle, it was already afternoon when the fishing boat returned to port.

The seagulls followed the scent and circled in mid-air, their chirping.

Yan Jing, who changed into a white shirt and light blue jeans, walked on the dock with her hands around the foam box.

Ordinary people wore loose clothes to him, but they were a little tense, and the strong muscles of his back and arms, coupled with his resolute face with upright features, attracted many young women who came to buy seafood to turn back frequently.

Passing past the seafood stall and greeting a few stall owners he knew, Yan Jing's pace gradually accelerated.

Come to the uphill ramp on the pier side.

The street above the stairs is lined with greenery, and on the right side of the ramp stands a sign: Corning Street.

On the railing next to the street sign sat a girl with a high ponytail, and her fair goose egg face was particularly delicate and cute. A blue and white dress with Paige shoes on top of each other on the masonry pavement.

She had headphones in her ears, humming a song, and shaking her head to the music.

"Ruan Xiaolian!"

Hearing someone shouting, the girl turned her head to catch a glimpse of Yan Jing carrying a foam box down the slope.

At first, he was stunned, and then his whole little face became as bright as a bright golden beam of light falling from the green trees.

"Brother!"

took off the headphones, ran down the stairs along the ramp with a smile, and when he arrived in front of Yan Jing, he couldn't wait to open the corner of the foam box, and saw the lobster and grouper inside, his eyes narrowed into crescents,

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't lie to me."

"From childhood to adulthood, have you done anything I promised you, let's go, Ms. Page Jr., Fangning District, go home."

Walking up the stairs, Yan Jing had a gentle smile on his face, and suddenly felt that his waist was poked twice, and he couldn't help but look at the girl.

"They all said don't call me this nickname, brother, you seem to be thinner than a month ago, but why are your muscles like iron, and the fitness effect on the boat is so good?"

The girl was a little confused and poked Yan Jing's waist and back back with her hand and asked.

"Of course, there is a lot of work to go to sea this time, and your brother and I are the first mate, so we have to take the lead."

casually found a reason to prevaricate, in fact, Yan Jing's thinness was due to the acquisition of martial arts specialization, which made his body begin to change like this, and this is what he discovered this morning.

The brother and sister went uphill side by side, and Yan Jing saw a small light pink electric donkey parked on the side of the road at a glance.

"I can't drive your motorcycle, so I'll get off, right?"

Feeling out two pink helmets from under the seat, Xiaolian raised her eyebrows,

"My parents started talking about you the day before yesterday, go to my house for lunch first, lobster, hey~"

"I'll make you a genuine lobster egg fried rice later."

Place the foam box on the foot in front of the little electric donkey, and start the car when Xiaolian sits on.

A headphone is plugged into the right ear, and the hottest pop songs of the moment are played, although Yan Jing spends most of the year at sea, he will also watch the TV series recommended by Xiaolian to pass the time when he is free.

"Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

"Huh?"

"I'll report to Sanqing University in a few days, how about you go with me?"

"Okay, the third uncle is just going to overhaul the ship, I have more than half a month's vacation, and I was planning to go out to play."

"Okay~"

Xiaolian, who received an affirmative answer, looked up with a smile, and just wanted to say something, but Yan Jing in front of her suddenly buckled the brakes, and couldn't help but turn her head sideways and ask,

"What's wrong?"

"Something seems to be going on up ahead......

Yan Jing looked at the crowd in front of him, and there were still two police cars parked on the side of the street, and there was no sign of the police.

"Alas~ the sixth time of this week."

Ruan Xiaolian glanced at it and retracted it with interest,

"Let's hurry up and take a detour home, or the side will be blocked."

"What sixth?"

Turning the head of the car, Yan Jing asked as he looked for time to leave the street.

"Police car, three days and two ends of the police, although we are still some distance from the center of Guangchen, but the security has always been very good, I don't know what is going on this month, several murders, my dad watched the news and let me be careful when I went in and out."

Resting her chin on Yan Jing's shoulder, Xiaolian suddenly seemed to think of something, and continued,

"The day before yesterday, my high school classmates sent me a message saying that the haunted house in Happy Valley was haunted...... I laughed at her and said that the haunted house was not haunted, but I later learned that many people had died in the haunted house that day...... Anyway, I'm never going again. ”

"Tell me about some strange things, I don't know anything at sea."

Yan Jing, who was facing away from Xiaolian, kept his tone unchanged, but his expression was a little more solemn.

The situation seemed worse than he had imagined.

Paranormal events are clearly not just happening at sea, and similar situations are already beginning to spread between cities.

......

呲~呲~

The overnight cold rice mixed with diced carrots slid into a non-stick pan covered with boiling oil, Yan Jing wore an apron, and soy sauce, shrimp oil, scrambled eggs in advance, and lobster meat were added in order between stir-frying.

The delicious aroma of the ingredients wafts out through the kitchen door.

Ruan Xiaolian in the living room was originally paralyzed on the sofa and watching short videos, but as soon as she smelled the smell, she hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Brother, you let me taste it."

Holding the rice spoon, Xiao Lian, who was about to hang down from her mouth, grabbed Yan Jing and raised her arm to block it.

"I'm embarrassed to break you."

Yan Jing glanced at the palm-sized spoon and said helplessly,

"We'll eat together later...... It's half past six now, and my aunt should be off work normally, why haven't you come back? ”

At this time, the sunset was already in full swing outside the kitchen window, and the orange-red afterglow of the sunset passed through the window frame, reflecting half of Yan Jing's body.

As he spoke, the sound of the door opening was heard outside.

"As soon as I smelled the aroma of this fried rice, I knew that it must be Ah Jing back, and my cat cub can even scrambled an egg."

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a gentle temperament appeared outside the kitchen, holding a sleeve cover and an apron in her hand, and said with a smile,

"If there's anything you haven't gotten, I'll help you."

"Mom!"

"There is also a grouper, it depends on Aunt Ruan's action to settle it."

Yan Jing poured the fried rice in the pot into the large porcelain bowl prepared in advance on the side, ignored Xiaolian's disgust, and asked with a smile,

"What about Uncle Ruan, didn't you come back with you?"

Mr. and Mrs. Ruan are teachers at the same high school, and they usually commute to and from work together.

"Something happened at the school, and he, the dean, had to stay and deal with it...... The police issued a notice to the school, asking us to relay the news to all day students and tell them to stay safe on the way back. ”

"It's so serious, is it the Monkey King who escaped?"

"Tsk, full of witty words, they are all college students and they are not in shape, you are not allowed to run around at night later, Ah Jing, why don't you stay here tonight, and I will clean up the room for you."

Pinching Ruan Xiaolian's white and tender face, Aunt Ruan looked at Yan Jing again and said.

Ever since Yan Jing's parents passed away in an accident a few years ago, they have treated the former as their own children.

"No, the third uncle will invite us crew members to dinner later, it is estimated that we will have to drink until midnight, and then I will come back full of alcohol and not look good, I am going to go home directly to take a bath and sleep, you can rest assured, my physique, that monkey is unlucky when he bumps into me."

Yan Jing is 1.82 meters tall, with a body of tendon meat, not to mention anything else, the deterrent power must be full.

I had a simple dinner at Ruan's house to cushion my stomach, and set aside five points for the third uncle to treat.

Accompanying the Ruan family's mother and daughter to chat for a while, most of the time Yan Jing was talking about some interesting things that happened at sea, and the mother and daughter occasionally mentioned the recent strange things in Guangchen City.

When the sky outside completely darkened, Yan Jing set off for Fenglai Tower, the third uncle's side was almost about to start, and he, the first mate, naturally couldn't be absent.

Walking alone on the street, Yan Jing looked at the crowd of people coming and going, and his heart was still thinking about the various cases he had just found on his mobile phone.

Not only Guangchen City, but also the whole country...... No, it should be said that there is an outbreak of paranormal events all over the world.

'Yuanjingtian Pond Water Monster', 'Luosheng Chapel Mountain Blood Moon Incident', 'Makino Mountains Savage Incident', 'Pyramid Upside-Down Incident'......

Even Shanqing, where Xiaolian was going next, had a bloody soul seeking case, which made people panic.

The headlines of these stories, which were released a few months ago, would have been dismissed as a means of attracting attention from the news media, and most of them were fake hunting pictures.

But nowadays, every incident and every place where it appears is a mainstream news station in various places.

Even if most of these events have not yet been verified for their exact causes, the fact that these stories appear on television is a sign that some rules are changing.

Yan Jing specially searched for similar topics on some social platforms, and said everything.

After a while, the aura will be revived, everyone will cultivate immortals, and the end will be approaching for a while, so you have to hurry up and eat something good and have a good time.

There is even more outrageous right and wrong to say that his idol brother is the reincarnation of a god, otherwise he would not have fallen in love at first sight, and the people who watched it frowned.

Yan Jing tried to find out from the mixed information that might have a similar existence to himself, but he also found that there were a few posts that had some hidden meanings, but he didn't do anything rashly.

It's like a cyber scam.

No one knows what the delicate and easy-to-push sister who is drunk and dreaming of death with you on the Internet looks like in real life.

Under the premise that the situation is unclear and their own strength is not strong enough, hiding their identity and protecting themselves is the most important.

Don't forget, the Torch doesn't restrict the Ember Apostles from revealing its existence!

At the very least, you have to have enough self-protection to consider communicating with the other Ember Apostles. ’

Making a decision in his heart, Yan Jing's eyes fell on the shops not far away.

I didn't go home for more than half a month, and some daily necessities had to be repurchased.

But just as Yan Jing walked to the door, there were two sudden explosions from the block behind him!

The passers-by who heard the sound only thought it was a firecracker, looked over there and continued to move forward, except for Yan Jing's footsteps suddenly stopped.

【Hunting Quest Trigger Conditions Met】

[This quest is a free quest, the Ember Apostle can choose whether to take it or not, and there is no penalty for failure]

Free mission, there is no punishment yet, Yan Jing decisively chose to take it.

Whether to complete it or not, he would like to know more about this new form of task.

[Hunt target: Mandrill]

【Reward 1: Flame Point*50】

【Reward 2: Random Items of Normal Quality*1】

Looking at the information about the task reward, Yan Jing was stunned for two seconds.

So shabby?
