Chapter 4 The Coast

Multiply......

A lighter lit the pyre.

The faint light of the fire illuminates the surroundings, and something seems to be surging in the darkness, ready to break out of the cocoon and throw the wood into the fire, splashing a lot of sparks.

The cold wind blew into the cracks of the stones, pouring a lot of chill, and there was a hint of salty sea.

The dangers of the sea seem to be the consensus of all voyagers, the rules that are remembered, the secrets hidden in the waters of Xinlan, the distant whistle of the steamer returning to port, descending below the horizon, heralding the coming darkness.

There was the sound of footsteps walking on the beach, far and near, and someone looked up in the firelight, and he thought the man would find him, but the man just walked around the neighborhood, and then the footsteps faded away.

Looking up at the ocean, every night, no one stays on the shore of Xinlan, everyone is afraid of the ocean, but they must rely on the sea to survive.

Humans greedily claim the resources of the oceans and explore the farther land, but they forget the instructions of the adventurers.

In the end, it was in pain and darkness that I remembered the rules set by the Lord of the Storm.

There was a dark figure standing in the ocean, and it had been there for a long, long time, until night came, and it began to move.

At this moment, there seemed to be no one else on the beach except for the man in the firelight, so the creature had a clear goal, and it came towards the light.

Its entire body was enveloped in darkness, and it was only vaguely discernible that it was shaped like a human, with slender arms, a twisted body, and a strange head, the edges of which were like mist, looking illusory and terrifying.

Whoop -

Moving forward with the sound of the waves crashing against the stones, each time I looked at it, the creature got closer, and its lower body was immersed in the water, and it was impossible to see what it was moving on.

I just feel that this picture is depressing and terrifying, and ordinary people may not be able to run away when they see these, let alone be able to take a closer look at what the creatures close to them look like.

Whoop -

The creature moved closer and seemed more concrete, and it stretched out its hands and gestured toward the firelight, as if measuring the distance between him and the man.

It's just that the man is not afraid, he just raised his head slightly, turned his head and looked at the fish basket he had bought in advance, there were still small fish jumping around in the fish basket, and there were sharpened wooden sticks next to him, and he had prepared everything for today's dinner.

"I'm hungry."

The man touched his belly, lowered his head as if thinking about something, and when he looked up, he found that the strange creature that had just existed in the sea had disappeared.

The man grabbed a fish with one hand and threw it outward.

In the next second, he quickly stretched out a withered hand on the seashore very close to him and grabbed the fish in his hand.

Hearing only a snort, the creature grabbed the fish and stuffed it into its mouth, and the darkness instantly swallowed the living fish, and the sound similar to saliva swallowing came, and it turned its head to look at the man faintly.

"Doctor, help me take a look, my friend doesn't seem to be able to do it well!"

An exclamation sounded at the door of the Yinglan Beier Capital Hospital, and everyone's eyes converged, looking at Ethan who fell to the ground, his face was haggard, and two dark circles hung under his eyes, probably looking like he was about to die suddenly.

This movement naturally attracted the attention of the guards, and when they stepped forward to look at Ethan, they looked at each other before silently backing away.

Anyway, it is a good thing to be able to smoothly infiltrate the Yinglan Beier Capital Hospital, Jiang Chenchuan helped Ethan to walk inside, and when he swept his vision, he could see the policemen standing in all corners.

"I don't know if you've heard of it, but this time even the queen was alarmed, and the Medwin family was furious and vowed to find the murderer."

"So...... Just trouble us to guard the corpse."

In the lobby of the hospital, several elderly policemen gathered around and whispered, obviously, this kind of boring and free time forced to go to work can only complain and complain about the latest hot topics together:

Death of a nobleman.

Several young and vigorous young men were busy in the hospital, and they had to come over from time to time to wait for orders.

The last time people were so panicked was during the murder on a rainy night, and Pornia seemed unable to continue to be calm.

"When will Terry Medwin's autopsy be completed?"

The doctors were talking to each other, and as soon as they heard the name Terry Medwin, Ethan and Jiang Chenchuan suddenly became alert.

Finding a familiar department, Jiang Chenchuan patted Ethan on the shoulder, and he disappeared quietly, leaving Ethan to knock on the doctor's door alone.

The middle-aged balding director glanced up at Ethan and asked him to sit down in front of him.

"What are the symptoms?"

"Dizziness, tiredness...... Well...... Occasional dazzle......

The director took out a white handkerchief and wiped the shiny head, and recorded it in the medical record book while listening to Ethan's nonsense.

"I heard that a nobleman died last night, and this seems to be the first case of a nobleman killed in Polonia."

There was a hint of panic in the director's eyes, he raised his head, and hurriedly warned:

"See a doctor, see a doctor, and listen to less rumors."

In fact, he didn't need to say more, Ethan also knew the seriousness of this matter, but through a simple temptation, it was also confirmed that no matter which side it was, no clue about the murderer was found.

It seems that after killing someone, he disappeared without a trace in Polnia.

Suddenly, a commotion came from downstairs, the footsteps were chaotic and orderly, and the sound of special shoes stepping on the ground had nothing to do with the Sheriff's Department.

"What's going on out there?"

Ethan saw that the opportunity had come, and just made an excuse to leave the doctor's office.

It seemed that the officers of the Sheriff's Department were converging somewhere, and many of them had young, unfamiliar faces.

It's good to be a young man, naïve and romantic, and hot-blooded, who has not been tortured by life, and will believe it if he says a few words casually, and will even step forward bravely for lies and seek justice.

"What's going on? Are we in danger?"

At this time, a young woman was trembling as she grabbed the police officer with a frightened face

"I'm sorry, I don't know, ma'am, please stay where you are and don't move around."

The young policeman said seriously.

Ethan speculated that there was probably something going on on Jiang Chenchuan's side, so he led all the police over.

Chaos is the best time to act, Ethan took advantage of the chaos to walk to the office where there was no one, took off a white coat casually, put it on in a chic and decisive manner, and coupled with his ordinary public face, he could smoothly blend into the crowd.

There were quite a few people around the door of the morgue, most of them police officers from the Sheriff's Department, who looked terrible and seemed to have something bad going on.

Ethan hid himself in an inconspicuous corner, observing the movement inside outside the cordon, and suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the group of police.
