Syllable!

The head crossed an arc and landed in front of Cleves, who was at the head of the group, and his hand with the gun quickly pressed down, aiming first in the faint moonlight, and then looking closely, he found that it was actually a rotten head.

The bulging white eyes were pointing this way, causing the ladies in the line to let out a frightened but suppressed cry.

A ray of light fell from the sky, piercing the shriveled head and burning it to ashes.

The light seemed to have endless warmth, dispelling the cold in the fog and giving everyone a glimmer of hope.

They looked in unison in the direction where their heads were flying, where a faint glow gradually approached, emerging from the mist, first carrying a lantern, then a cane, and finally, a figure wearing a long trench coat with a top hat and a familiar face under the brim.

"Gelman Sparrow?"

Cleves said in surprise, he subconsciously looked behind the other party, and sure enough, another figure soon appeared, it was Angelica Thatch, who was inseparable from him.

There was also a man with short black hair and bright blue eyes, and some flat facial features reminded him of a certain pirate on the bounty order, but the matter was urgent, he did not think about it, but immediately said:

"Cecil and Donna are gone, we just escaped from the restaurant, and the people in there are very wrong......"

As he spoke, Cleves looked back, and in the window by the closed door of the restaurant, a local was still quietly looking at them, his face flat and his eyes cold.

"I didn't see them on the road, do you have any clues?"

Angel took two steps forward, looked at the eerie restaurant, and asked casually.

The three of them disembarked from the boat and followed the shortest route to get here, but they did not see Donna and Cecil on the way, and they must still be in Bansi Harbor.

"Teague and I looked around the restaurant and didn't find them, the boss said that the two had gone out half an hour ago, maybe they were ...... by someone else"

Cleves was also a little anxious, the employer's daughter had disappeared under his nose, and even one of his partners had disappeared with him, and if he didn't get someone back in time, his signboard would be smashed.

What's more, after seeing the strange head and powerful light from before, his head was already full of all kinds of folklore that he had heard at sea, and the figures of the monsters described in them, frankly, it was a little difficult to think.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Cleves's expression, Angel stopped asking, and she looked back at Klein, and was surprised to find that the latter had already taken a bright yellow shawl from Donna's father, Mr. Blanche, and threw it on the ground, holding it against his cane before it was blown away by the wind, and releasing his hand after a moment.

Divination Rods to Find People...... Angel felt relieved that it was great to have a professional soothsayer on the team at this time.

Smack-

The cane fell against the wind, pointing in the direction the three had come.

It was also the dock location where the White Onyx docked.

Went back? The two of them missed and have returned to the ship?

After interpreting the same result as Klein, the two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Blanche, your daughters are fine, they should have returned to the White Onyx when the wind was blowing."

Angel comforted her father, who was still a little panicked, and the latter glanced at her with uneasy eyes, full of distrust.

"Didn't you say you didn't see them on the road? How can you be sure? By that cane? ”

He asked a barrage of questions, his voice rising in a rising pitch, as if he were releasing the emotions that had been suppressed before he was released.

Out of understanding of the father who was panicked after his daughter's disappearance, Angel was not angry because of the other party's tone, but replied indifferently:

"Trust our professionalism, you just saw it, that monster."

Everyone, including Blanche, shuddered at the thought of the shriveled and strange head and the light that fell from the sky.

"Where's Captain Erlan?"

Crane took two steps forward and asked in a cold tone.

This successfully put an end to Blanche's time-wasting questioning, and he looked into the darkness around him, as if looking for direction:

"He parted ways with us in front of the dining room, saying he was going to a nearby telegraph office."

"Telegraph office."

Crane repeated, and it took Blanche a few seconds to understand that the sentence was not addressed to him, but to Danitz on the side, who nodded silently, pointing to a location in the mist.

"First go to the telegraph office to find the captain, and then return to the White Onyx together, everyone gathers, and if they are separated, they will ask for more blessings."

In Angel's shouting, the Blanches and their servants, Dimurdo and Kate's family, stood together in an orderly manner, with the men outside, the women and the children in the middle, leaving only a small gap between them, and the two bodyguards with guns stood by the team very consciously, holding lanterns on guard, and gave the task of taking the lead to Angel and the three of them.

Crane nodded silently, he stroked the "Sun Brooch" in his pocket, activated the "Sun Aura" ability attached to this magical item, and an invisible force quickly spread around him, surging through everyone.

At this moment, they seemed to be bathed in the summer sun, and the chill of their bodies and the panic in their hearts were swept away.

The same was true of Uldy Blanche, whose courage to regain his body made him feel extremely guilty for yelling at a lady before, and when Angel walked past him and rushed to the front of the group, he hurriedly whispered:

"I'm sorry for my ...... attitude"

"I understand."

Angel didn't dwell on such a trivial matter, and the number of people who needed protection increased dramatically, which made her feel a little pressure, and the hand that had been in the pocket of her trench coat reached out, grabbed the "Good Luck" revolver, and came to Klein's side.

The latter was handing Daniz a bronze whistle full of delicate patterns, directing him to walk at the front of the line.

"What is this?"

Daniz asked suspiciously, but he obediently took the copper whistle, and immediately felt a cold, evil touch spread all over his body along his fingers, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Something that makes you more useful."

Crane didn't explain, but picked up the cane on the ground and held it in his left hand, and pulled out a revolver in his right hand.

"Go to the telegraph office."

His command sent the vast procession to move, and behind them, in the window of the Lime Restaurant, several pairs of eyes were silently watching the wind and the misty crowd.

————

"Shit!"

Daniz lunged forward, dodging the path of a flying head, but before the head could get close to him, a black flame fell on it and burst into flames, instantly making it lose all life.

He got up from the ground, clenched the cold copper whistle tightly in his hand, and scolded angrily, his heart was extremely excited.

The bronze whistle would have turned itself into the first target of all monsters, and as soon as they emerged from the fog, they flew over with their mouths full of sharp teeth like a mad dog with raw flesh, completely ignoring the dozen or so better bullies behind them.

I knew that Gelman Sparrow didn't have a good heart! What "makes me more useful", was it that I was useless before?

Daniz looked behind him with resentment, and suddenly remembered that when he faced the flying head before, he had dodged on the ground in embarrassment, and even used a condensed and compressed fireball to solve one of them.

In the short journey to the telegraph office, he had already encountered nearly ten of these monsters, all of whom were easily dealt with by the two behind him on the way to pounce on him in defiance of everything......

It seems like I'm really useless......

He glanced at the crowd and was surprised to see that the ordinary people were looking at him with surprise and gratitude.

Hmph, if it weren't for me, Lord Daniz, the "Flame", to attract the attention of the monsters in front of you, you would have been bitten to death.

Involuntarily straightening his back, Daniz gripped the brass whistle and continued to lead the way ahead, this time with far less complaint.

……

After burning double-digit heads along the way, and two living corpses that could move without heads, like "matching" those flying monsters, Angel and his party finally arrived at the telegraph office.

It was a small two-story building, with closed doors and dark windows, and a few thick wires on the second floor in the direction of the docks, which would meander their way to the bottom of the sea, sending telegrams around the world in time.

Angel knocked on the door, and a moment later a female voice came from inside, as calm and emotionless as the restaurant locals Cleves described on the road.

"Yes, who?"

"We're looking for Captain Erlan of the White Onyx, and his first mate."

"They, left, went, next to the church."

Church?

Angel looked sideways and was surprised to see that the only church in Bansey Harbor was not far from the telegraph office, and that it was a little old as close as the fog, with mossy buttresses and facades, and tall towers lit with candles and glimmering light through the narrow windows.

"Thank you."

She responded, leaving the gate and returning to the group.

Crane, who also heard the female voice's answer, said nothing, and instructed the others to turn around and head to the church that the Storm Church had established for more than two hundred years.

Daniz, who was at the front of the group, hesitated and slowed down, but it wasn't surprising to think of his £3,000 name.

Feeling a little funny, Angel simply walked past him and walked in the forefront, relying on his dark vision to clear the way.

But perhaps because of their proximity to the church, they didn't encounter the monsters again.

Bypassing the side walls of the church, Angel reached the door of the church and tried to push the tightly closed double wooden door, but the door did not move.

"Knock knock."

She knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Angel heard this vigilant voice coming from Captain Erlan, so she replied directly:

"Angelica, Gelman, and the three families who dined at the Lime Restaurant."

"How do you prove it?"

Erlan still hadn't opened the door, his voice tinged with increased vigilance.

"You gave 'White Shark' two pounds in Damir Harbour and saved his life."

The captain behind the door was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the other party's words, he chuckled, opened the small window on the door, and saw clearly that it was all people he knew by the light of the moonlight and the light of the lantern in Cleves's hand, and then he carefully unlocked the lock and opened the door of the church.

Behind the door is a narrow passageway, and the stone carvings on the walls on both sides depict the great exploits of the Storm Cultists to conquer the sea, and the captain Irlan and the first mate hold fire guns and swords, watching the crowd warily in the faint candlelight.

Behind them, in the center of the church prayer room, lay a headless corpse, and just as Angel was wondering which of his heads was charred outside, a bloody head was found next to a bench, fortunately, it was not connected to the esophagus.

"That's the pastor of the church, and when we came, he was detached and dead inside, Bishop Miller of Bansey was missing, and the other priests and servants were gone."

Erlan counted the passengers one by one, then put away his knife and gun, followed Angel's gaze and looked at the headless corpse and said.

After that, he lowered his voice and let the conversation be between the two only.

"The Substitute Punisher team has been dispatched, and there are cultists gathered on the hill next to the dock to perform a living sacrifice, and they are going to deal with it."

He confirmed that the woman in front of him who could kill the fish-man with a single blow must be extraordinary, so he didn't hide it.

Angel's eyes widened for a moment, and she thought of something.

Earlier, when Klein divined Donna's whereabouts, the divination staff pointed to the docks, and they all thought it was pointing to the White Onyx.

But in that direction, it is also where the highest mountain in Bansey Island is located!
