After leaving the docks, the wind strangely calmed down a lot, and although the weeds and leaves on the ground were blown around, at least it didn't blow Angel's hat into the sky.

The residents of the entire port of Bansi adhered to the custom of "not going out at night when the weather changes drastically", closed the doors and hid in their homes, when there was no one on the street, and the street lamps with candles as lumines were not lit, only the crimson moonlight loomed on the road, adding a touch of color to the dark port.

Under Daniz's guidance, the three of them quickly walked towards the "Lime Restaurant", with Klein in front, holding a cane in one hand and a borrowed horse lantern in the other, the horse lantern with transparent glass protection steadily emitted a warm but faint glow in the wind, illuminating the way forward for the two except Angel.

Angel is at the end of the group, guarding the weakest Daniz between the two, with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat, her right hand holding the "Good Luck" revolver, and her left hand ready to turn the "knight's bracelet" on her wrist into a suitable weapon against the enemy.

Daniz, the only one who was not in a good state, had not yet found himself the object of protection, and he pressed the placket of his clothes fluttering in the wind with one hand and the other on his forehead, trying to discern his direction in the wind.

"Turn left, and on the right is the way out of the port and up the hill."

He reminded that Crane in front of him turned around, walked to the left, turned into another street, and his figure disappeared from the sight of the two behind him for a moment.

At the moment when the formation changed, a black shadow burst out of the thick mist, the size of a watermelon, and quickly hit Klein's back like a cannonball.

What is it!

Daniz, who was following behind him, immediately reacted, raised his right hand up, and at some point there was an extra revolver with a classical shape in his palm, and if he aimed slightly, he was about to shoot at the black shadow.

Hmmm-

Invisible silk threads shot out from all sides, like a net, sealing the direction of the black shadow's impact, and the shadow that had lost its momentum when it hit the net revealed its true face in front of Daniz.

It's a floating human head!

It has no part below the neck, only the red and yellow mixed esophagus hangs under the head, swaying in the wind like a tail, and the skin of the face of the head is shriveled and sagging, covered with mold, outlining the outline of the cheeks.

Between the cheeks, the highly decayed nasal lips dripped, green pus, the sharp teeth underneath were exposed, and the eyes were bulging and cloudy.

Is this the head of a corpse? Why fly?

Daniz has followed the "Vice Admiral of the Iceberg" to explore many sunken ships and hidden treasures on isolated islands, and has encountered monsters of various shapes, which can be regarded as well-informed, but this terrifying appearance with only a head and feeding organs still scares him out of a cold sweat.

He was about to shoot at the head, which had suddenly stopped in the air, when a pure bright yellow light fell from the sky, like a sharp sword, stuck into the flying head, and with an inhuman scream, the head was wiped out in the holy light, leaving only a handful of ash scattered in the wind.

With it as the center, web-like flames spread out in all directions, as if an invisible spider's web was ignited.

This is the invisible thread that binds me in the morning...... Could it be that the Holy Light was put by Gelman Sparrow? He has an abominable face and acts crazy, but he didn't expect to be a believer in the "sun"? Or is it just the damage caused by a magical item?

According to the battle that ended in an instant just now, Daniz assessed the strength of the two temporary teammates, and was about to habitually say a few words, when he suddenly found that several black shadows appeared at the position of the flying head just now, the same size, and the same fast collision.

One, two, three, four...... Exactly four!

Counting the number of heads that flew in, Daniz became excited, just now before he could perform, the battle was over, and the number of enemies attacking at this time was even more than the number of the team, he wanted to fight two!

Bang –

With a single shot, the large-caliber bullet pierced the center of the eyebrow of the nearest head, and the tremendous force caused it to falter and stop in mid-air. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Daniz pointed at his empty left hand, and a red flame appeared from his fingertips, quickly expanded, catapulted out, and smashed on the flying head.

With a bang, a bright fire rose up, illuminating the surrounding fog-shrouded streets.

In the haze, more dark shadows approached, revealing themselves in the flash of firelight, and then vanishing into the fog.

Five, six, seven...... Shit, I can't count!

Daniz only felt that there were flying heads hanging from his esophagus on all sides, and he forced himself to calm down, looking at the target who was the first to be solved, but was horrified to find that the skin of the head baptized by the flames was charred black, dragging black smoke, and flying to this side completely unaffected, his rotten mouth wide open, and his sharp teeth were about to bite Daniz's neck.

Bang –

At the moment of crisis, Daniz leaned back to dodge the fatal bite, raised his right foot and kicked it accurately in the head in the air, kicking it backwards, and after he fell to the ground, he pinched out a fireball that was much smaller than the flame just fired, but more radiant, and guided it to catch up with the kicked head, and accurately burrow into the mouth full of fangs.

The light of the fire was accompanied by a huge sound, and the flying head was blown apart from the inside, and countless fragments dragged black smoke to the ground, and it was too dead to die.

Whew, it's finally solved, this thing is much more difficult to deal with than it looks, those two people easily solve one, I thought it was just an ordinary monster......

Daniz exhaled, clenched his pistol and quickly got up, he remembered that there were at least six or seven of these heads around!

But when he looked at the two people who had not moved, he found that there were more than a dozen flying head monsters piled up in the open space between the team, they were covered by invisible nets, bound in place, some gritted their fangs, some shook their esophagus, but they couldn't move.

Poof-

A fist-sized black flame appeared out of thin air, seemingly falling slowly into a pile of heads, then swelling into flames large enough to engulf all the head monsters in a silent explosion.

After a few seconds, the black flames gradually receded, and the dozen or so netted heads were no longer moving, their outward damage was not even as great as the burns caused by Daniz's first flame, but they seemed to have lost their inner souls, leaving only rotting empty shells.

Shocked by the terrifying power of the black flames, Daniz stared blankly at Angel, the initiator, who had bypassed the smoking pile of monster corpses and followed Klein with the lantern, his hands still in his pockets, the hem of his trench coat fluttering in the wind, as if he were a tourist visiting Bansey Harbor.

And I'm like I'm rolling in the mud...... Daniz looked at the mud rolling out of his body to avoid the flying head, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he dusted off the dust as if nothing had happened, and quickly followed.

——

At this time, the atmosphere in the lime restaurant was tense.

The two bodyguards, Cleves and Teague, clenched their revolvers, one pointing at the fat restaurateur and the other at the approaching waiter, their faces serious, their index fingers pressed down on the trigger, ready to fire.

The owner of the restaurant, Fox, also held a revolver in his hand, but instead of pointing at the bodyguards or the passengers behind them, he lowered his head downward, and his fat face had an indifferent expression, and he said word by word:

"Don't go out on a foggy night, otherwise, there will be, bad things happen."

"Bad shit! Hand over Cecil and Donna, and we'll leave at once!" ”

In a rare swearing, Cleves pointed the gun at the boss's chubby, near-round head.

"They went out half an hour ago, but don't go out."

The restaurateur ignored the muzzle of the gun almost in his face, and replied in that unhurried tone.

Cleves was sure that he would finish off the guy with one shot, and deal with the other waiter in a second, but as far as he could see, several local diners had already appeared at the staircase on the second floor, all of them gentlemen and ladies in formal attire, with indifferent expressions and calm eyes, but with invisible pressure.

I remember there were more than a dozen diners on the second floor, not counting the ...... who were already around us. The bullets in the nest can't kill so many people, and they have to deal with possible accidents on the road, and the situation is extremely unfavorable, so they must leave here immediately...... But where did Cecil and Donna go? I went out half an hour ago, could it be that I went back to the White Onyx by myself?

The former adventurer quickly made a decision in his mind, and he took two steps back and looked sideways at his employer, Uldi Blanche, who had wrapped his arms around his son Denton in one hand and his wife's hand in the other, with a look of forced composure on his face, but his eyes betrayed panic and trance.

"Mr. Blanche, we must get out of here first, and when we get back to the ship, let the captain and the sailors come to help find the missing man."

Cleves's whispered suggestion woke up the distracted Blanche, and he looked around to see his wife and son, the newlywed Dimurdo, Kate's family of three, and several servants with him all looking at the importer and exporter, expecting him to make a decision to direct the hired bodyguards to bring everyone back to the safety of the White Onyx.

But where did Donna go?

These strange locals, the owners and waiters are hospitable, and the ladies and gentlemen are elegant, but when a strong wind blows outside the restaurant and fog rises, everything changes!

Blanche sweated on his forehead, and looked at the waiters and locals who had surrounded them in the corner, standing quietly, and knew in his heart that Cleves's suggestion was the most correct, although there were more than a dozen of them, only two bodyguards had guns, and in the event of a fierce conflict, I was afraid that they would all have to stay here.

But Donna......

He closed his eyes in agony.

"Let's go back to the ship first."

At this moment, Blanche could feel that everyone around him except his family was breathing a sigh of relief.

Cleves was still holding a gun at the restaurant owner, and another bodyguard, Teague, stood by the door, waiting for everyone to squeeze through the circle of waiters and locals, and when they reached the door, they held the doorknob with their hands and took one last look at the scene on the first floor of the restaurant.

All the waiters, diners, all stood silently, quietly watching them, only the fat boss Fox was still whispering:

"Outside, there's danger."

His hand holding the gun never lifted, as if it was purely for the safety of the passengers to prevent them from going out.

This restaurant, this whole port, is so weird......

At Cleves' motion, Teague turned his head away from looking at the inside of the restaurant, twisted the handle hard, and pushed the door open.

A small gust of wind poured into the restaurant, and it was pitch black and foggy outside, and the light from outside the restaurant could only illuminate a few meters away from the door, and there seemed to be countless monsters hidden in the darkness outside.

"Let's go!"

Cleves, who had been aiming his gun all the time, waited for everyone to leave, and then walked backwards out of the door, shouting loudly, letting the sound reach everyone in the wind.

Bang Bang –

The door of the restaurant closed in front of him, cutting off everyone's retreat.

As the row of candlelit windows on the first floor gradually crowded with waiters and diners standing quietly, Cleves turned his head and stopped trying to make sense of the weirdness. He and Teague went one after the other, sandwiching the other unarmed men, women, and children in between, finding the right direction on the dock and moving their steps.

Woo –

A black figure the size of a watermelon sprang out of the mist and flew towards the team with an eerie call sign.
