Unlike mainland cities such as Beckland, Tingen, and Plitz Harbour, colonial islands such as Bansey lacked gas, with sparse street lamps on both sides and candles wrapped in glass, waiting to be lit.

Unfortunately, the wind started early today, and according to the custom of Bansi Port, people here do not go out on nights when there is heavy fog and drastic weather changes. As a result, no one lit the street lamps that were supposed to radiate light, and the road was pitch black, illuminated purely by the crimson moon that loomed in the clouds.

Carrying a dusk lantern and holding a hardwood cane, Crane in a long black gown walked briskly in the direction of the lime restaurant along the dim and silent street, under the guidance of Daniz.

Woo!

In the whistling of the wind, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the fog, and instantly rushed to the only light source in the darkness-

Klein with a horse lantern!

Crane didn't think about it, waved his arms and forearms back, and jerked out his cane.

Bang!

As soon as the sudden black shadow approached, it was drawn to the front and flew out upside down for a long time.

Smack!

The viscous liquid ran down the end of the cane and fell to the ground, leaving a blood-colored viscous stain that the cane had left behind when it struck the shadow.

At this time, Klein finally saw the body of the black shadow clearly under the light of the horse lantern.

That's a 'man'!

The body was red, and the muscles, blood, and skeleton were completely exposed to the air, but the flesh was incomplete, and the surface was uneven. It's like the skinners are not very skilled, and they take away the excess flesh. And on the inner thigh, there is still a clear 'depression', where the flesh has completely disappeared. It was as if someone had cut off a piece in the most 'fatty' place, leaving only a bone that was still stained with some of the muscles.

He slowly got up from the ground, unprotected by his skin, his sticky flesh covered in dust and gravel, and the blood was constantly falling down his body, leaving a wet and sticky stain. At the junction with the neck, the head that should have appeared on it was gone, leaving only the thin 'thin skin' of bright red supported by a circle of flesh and blood connected to the trachea, which swayed in the wind, as if it would fall off at any moment.

The strong visual impact brings people the most intuitive fear and horror!

"Divine Skin Emissary!"

Almost subconsciously, the word came to Klein and Daniz's minds at the same time.

Because the tragic situation of the person in front of them being skinned was too strong, and almost instantly, they connected him with the legendary secret organization that took pleasure in skinning, the 'Divine Skin Messenger'!

"Damn, the legend is true? I shouldn't have followed this madman ashore! ”

Daniz's mood sank suddenly, and he cursed in his heart.

But he scolded and scolded, but he didn't know when he had an extra classical revolver in his hand, his elbows pressed down, ready to shoot at any time.

At that moment, he saw a pure light descend from the sky and fall on the monster that had fallen to the ground and been skinned.

Zizizizi!

The flesh was burned and boiled, and the monster's body was quickly evaporated and melted, and nothing left behind.

"The 'sun' pathway? No, it should be a magical item. ”

Daniz watched this scene with some surprise, and secretly wondered in his heart about Gelman Sparrow's methods. But when she came back to her senses, she suddenly found that the light around her seemed to be much dimmer.

When he looked up again, he found that Gelman Sparrow had not waited for him at all, carrying a cane and a lantern, and running into the distance with small steps, his black dress slightly raised back. And with his departure, Daniz is completely exposed to darkness!

…… Shit! Wait for me...... Wait for me! Daniz's pupils shrank, and he strode after him, not daring to stay alone in the thin fog and bleak environment.

——

In the sky above Bansey Island, turquoise pea vines fall from the sky, weaving into a lush forest in the air.

The forest could not be seen at the top, and the vines formed different paths, interspersed or spiraled, until they reached high into the sky. In the forest, green plants are connected to hammock-like seats, which gently sway from the heights.

A lady with waist-length chestnut hair, an olive-green dress, and an old-fashioned black floppy hat sits on it, and her calves in black leather boots sway gently.

The plaid tulle obscured her countenance, but the blue eyes kept looking downward, at Klein Moretti with the horse lamp.

She asked softly:

"Do you want me to do it?"

"Nope."

The petite figure sat on her shoulder and whispered, "We just need to observe." ”

In order to break through the barriers of this world, she lost a lot of volunteers, and the Divine Skin Apostle was one of them.

But unlike the dark race 'Esty', who would be surrounded and suppressed as soon as they appeared, the Apostles of the Divine Skin managed to survive. But it wasn't in her plans, and she never thought about the survival of these abandoned creatures, because the gods of this world could not tolerate contamination by any alien species.

But the Apostle of Godskin managed to survive, and even went through a certain amount of growth, and she wondered why.

——

Inside the Lime Restaurant.

Wealthy businessman Uldi Blanche looked at his bodyguard, Cleves, with some hesitation.

Fox, the owner of the lime restaurant, advises them to stay here because, according to the custom of the island, it is better not to go out and not to respond to knocks on doors on nights when there is heavy fog and drastic weather changes in Bansey.

Uldy Blanche felt that the customs here should be respected, and that a one-night stay would not delay their journey, as the White Onyx would not set sail until tomorrow.

But her daughter, Donna, seemed to be very anxious to return to the ship, and she seemed to be full of fear here. Although Uerdi felt that this was just a child's imagination, he still inevitably felt a little more uneasy in his heart.

Cleves was silent for a moment in the face of his employer's eyes.

In his original experience, he should follow Fox's advice and stay at the Lime Restaurant, but he thought of Gelman Sparrow's reminder that there was a lurking danger in Bansey Harbor.

Cleves quickly made a decision, and said after deliberation:

"Mr. Blanche, please trust my professionalism."

"If there is a problem, it is more dangerous to stay here, there are artillery on board, there are sailors with guns and knives."

"Good!"

Uerdi was already hesitant, and this reason was right in his heart, and he was completely convinced.

He motioned for Cleves to open the door, and the group left the dining room step by step.

Outside, the wind was low, the darkness was deep, and the fog was filled, as if there were many monsters hidden. This frightened people, and almost subconsciously wanted to return to the restaurant behind them, which was sheltered by lights.

Bang dang!

However, just then, the doors of the restaurant suddenly closed, leaving them unable to return.

At this time, they are like ships in a storm, and only themselves are left in heaven and earth.

Cleves walked ahead with a lantern when he saw a figure stumbling towards them.

He subconsciously raised the lantern to see it clearly, but when he really saw the person's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank!

It was indeed a man, but there was indeed a man without a head, 'wet' all that was, with nothing but flesh and bones! Obviously he has no head, no skin, but he is still 'alive'!

This terrifying scene plunged everyone into fear, and it was the first time they had seen such a terrifying and strange thing.

Cleves was the first to react, subconsciously pulling out the revolver and wanting to shoot.

But as soon as he took out the gun, a terrifying thought appeared in Cleves's mind:

Can a 'man' without a head and skin really be killed by a gun?

But that's when they saw the light.

The light fell from the sky, like a blessing and divine punishment from an angel, causing the flesh monster to dissolve into invisibility in a burst of 'zigza' sounds.

"This" Uerdi and the others swallowed their saliva with difficulty, and their bodies trembled.

At that moment, they saw a dim glow approaching from the depths of the mist.

It was a figure carrying a horse lantern, a neat half-height silk top hat, a double-breasted long dress that matched the night, and a well-defined face, revealing an obvious sense of sharpness in the coldness.

"Uncle Sparrow......" Donna and Denton blurted out.

They felt that their minds were at peace all of a sudden.

Klein threw the lantern to Daniz beside him, went over with his cane, and calmly said to Cleves and the others:

"Go to the telegraph office first.

"What about the Dimerdo family?"

Dimurdo......

"They're still in the restaurant."

Uldi Blanche replied subconsciously.

Knock knock!

Klein knocked on the door of the restaurant in a friendly manner, but there was no response from inside, and the people inside seemed to be observing the custom of not responding to knocks in foggy weather.

After knocking to no avail, 'Gelman Sparrow' politely kicked open the door of the restaurant.

After a brief but friendly exchange with Fox, the owner of the Lime Restaurant, he took away the ignorant newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Dimurdo, who remained in the restaurant.

Led by Klein, they left the restaurant.

But instead of returning directly to the ship, he continued towards the telegraph office not far away.

Along the way, they encounter several flesh monsters that have lost their heads and skin.

They were all easily eliminated by Klein, but that didn't ease his mood.

These skinned monsters weren't much of a threat, but Crane could vaguely feel that the real danger came from their 'missing' heads and skin! The 'Divine Skin Messenger' who cut off their heads and cut off their skin is the real threat!

Crane didn't want to clash with the members of this secret organization, he just wanted to take them back to the ship after finding Elllan.

The wind was getting lighter, the fog was thin and unchanging, and the group walked quietly and hurriedly through the streets without passers-by, following German Sparrow closely, as if this was the only way to reassure them a little.

Trample! Trample!

Bang!

Hurried footsteps and gunfire came from afar, and could be heard far away in the empty streets.

Cleves almost subconsciously raised the muzzle of the gun, but was stopped by Klein raising his hand.

Cleves looked up in confusion and saw Crane shaking his head at him.

Although he hesitated, he lowered his gun.

After all, they have survived until now thanks to Klein's protection, and they can only trust him at this time.

Finally, as the footsteps got closer and closer, a dim light emerged, approaching from the depths of the mist, and the two figures gradually entered the range of the horse lamp.

And Crane also saw the appearance of the person in the front, he was wearing a dark red thick coat and white loose trousers, it was Irlan!

It's just that the boat-shaped cap on the captain's head has disappeared, and he looks quite embarrassed.

Erlan also found out that Klein and his party were under the light of the horse lantern, but he was not half surprised in his heart, but shouted in horror:

"Run, run!"

Cleves, who just wanted to go up to pick him up, was stunned again, and subconsciously looked behind Erlan.

There was another figure behind him, a middle-aged man carrying a lantern. But his body is extremely bloated, he is three meters tall, but he looks like he weighs more than two thousand pounds!

And this bloated comes from the fat that is loosely piled up in his chest and abdomen.

And beside him, in the thick mist, several black 'balls' slowly emerged.

Under the light of the lantern, they finally saw the appearance of the 'round ball'.

It was a head that had lost its body and hung from its esophagus!

The head floated in the air, the face looked like a shriveled cheese covered with mold, and the skin dripping with yellow-green liquid was obviously loose and sagging, but it outlined the outline of the bones.

There were only two black holes left in its nose, its eyes were more white and less black, bulging outward, and most of its lips were rotten, revealing sharpened teeth mixed with blood!

Klein stared indifferently at the bishop opposite, he had just wondered where the heads of those 'monsters' had gone, and now the answer was obvious.

But now that the heads have appeared, where have their skins gone?

Klein subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man again, and this time as the other party approached, Klein saw more clearly.

He finally saw that this was not a fat man!

His chest was loose and piled up not with naturally grown fat, but with fresh skin sewn together piece by piece!

He was wearing a robe made of smooth skin!

The freshly peeled skin still has grease remaining, and it looks soft and elastic when it reflects the light in the light of the lantern.

However, due to the fact that the other party's skinning skills are not yet at home, a large amount of flesh and blood was shed on the skin during the skinning, and at this moment, it is constantly dripping from the inside of the 'clothes' as the middle-aged man walks!

"It should be comfortable to wear like this, right?"

It was obviously quite a terrifying scene, but such a thought appeared in the minds of Donna and the others for no reason.

"Divine Skin Emissary!"

Daniz also had such thoughts, but he quickly noticed and snuffed them out.

This made his heart shudder, and it also made him really realize that the legends of this island seem to be more than just legends!
