Four hours ago.

North Atlantic.

The waters of the Hebrides.

This is the northernmost archipelago in Scotland and one of the most desolate seas in the world.

There are surging waves, empty beaches, and dangerous cliffs. There are no man’s land on all sides.

The nearest city is Drumberg, more than a hundred kilometers away.

That city was a prison used to exile prisoners in the time of King Arthur. It was occupied by the famous pirate Drake in the Age of Discovery. It became his nest of escape from hunting down, and in the period of George I , There has become a tax evasion port for hoarding black slaves.

But now, with the disappearance of the pirates, the slave trade is abolished. There is only a small town with few people left there, a town with a hundred people relying on fishing for their livelihoods.

Except for birds and herrings, almost no other species are willing to visit this area.

But now, in this cliff-filled sea, an old diesel fishing boat is swiftly breaking through the waves.

There are four people on board.

The name of the man driving the fishing boat is Terry. He is a typical Caucasian race with a big nose, thin lips and a big beard.

He is wearing a shabby cowboy, knee-length rubber boots, thick hands and feet, and a gray fishing hat. Dressed up is no different from other fishermen catching herring in this area.

But he is not a fisherman, he used to be, and he is not now.

Before he was 20 years old, Terry and his father were fishing at sea, but since he returned to his hometown after the life and death of World War I, he has never looked down on such a stable job like fishing.

After more than 20 years of fighting in the sea in his hometown, he now has a more oily job than fishing herring.

Smuggling.

Smuggling people.

The Hebrides is connected to Scotland, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway.

Since the outbreak of World War I, Illegal immigrants here have never been interrupted. Thanks to the desolate environment here, from time to time there will be foreign wanderers who try to use Scotland as a landing point, and then head to the British Empire from here, hoping to find a job in the stable environment of England.

But Terry knew that most of those were unrealistic fantasies. After layers of exploitation, most of the Illegal immigrants ended up in a foreign land.

For more than 20 years, Terry has seen all kinds of guests, but this time’s guests...

He really has never seen him before .

Through the rearview mirror blurred by the sea, he can see three weird guys sitting upright on the deck behind him. They are sitting in exactly the same posture, and the sea breeze and waves are blowing on them and hitting the rocks. There is no difference.

Terry is very familiar with this temperament, and only military personnel have such a straight sitting posture.

But when it comes to saying that they are soldiers, Terry feels something weird. Because all three of them wore large robes, they couldn't see their appearance, and they also wore pointed and high hoods on their heads.

That is not the tattered robe worn by Illegal immigrants. The robe was pure black and brand new. A strap with scales was strangled on it. Even in such a fierce sea breeze, there is no mess at all.

He has seen so many troops in World War I, but he has never seen any country's troops wear this way.

The only thing that can be identified is a red swastika on each of them’s arms.

Which symbol Terry is a bit familiar, I have often seen it when reading newspapers in the past two years. It seems to be a workers' organization in Germany.

But Terry is not sure, because the people in the newspapers are not dressed like them.

Crossing a wave, the ship jolts violently.

"Which direction did your morning visitor go?"

Suddenly, the first of the three, who is also the tallest, suddenly asked.

He sat completely motionless on the boat, as if his butt had been welded to it.

"Uh..." Terry, who was thinking about it, was caught off guard. The three of them hadn't spoken since they got on the boat. He thought they could not speak English.

"What did you say?"

"I asked, in which direction did your morning guests go."

"sorry, I don’t know you What are you talking about."

Terry pushed the problem back. Although he is a smuggler, smugglers also have rules. More than 40 years of life experience tells him that he is the smartest not to mix in any contradictions. Living method.

"Really? It seems that he gave you a lot of money."

The tall hooded man said softly, his voice seemed to have an inexplicable magnetism, making People are relaxed.

Terry's eyes, who was still alert just now, suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, did you mean that generous little guest, he did give me a lot of money."

The hooded man: "Which direction is he going?"

Terry: "He also went to Handa Island, along the River Tay to the south inland of Scotland. There was nothing there, and many people got lost when they went in, and they never came out again. I I advise you not to enter..."

pa!

The fishing boat passed through a wave again, bumped violently, the sea breeze was blowing, and the one in Taili shivered came back to his senses.

He felt like he had said a lot just now, but he couldn't remember what he said.

In the rearview mirror, the three people are still sitting like a rock. As before, the expression has not changed at all.

"Damn..."

Terry murmured, speeding up the fishing boat. He wanted to end this weird list quickly.

Fortunately, soon, the boat drove to the shore of the island. There are lichens and moss everywhere, the cliffs are mottled sedimentary rocks, there are jagged rocks, and the cliffs on the coast are covered with bird droppings.

On the shore, there are two burly man standing, smoking a cigarette and waving to the ship.

Seeing them, Terry relaxed. He is a prudent person and will not do things that are uncertain. The two are his own cousins, who do smuggling business with him. Is a very reliable partner.

Terry parked the boat, and one of his two cousins ​​came up to lay a rusty Scabbbers iron drill, and the other tied the cable to it.

Terry: "Just get down here. The price is 45 pounds in total. I will give you a discount and count you 40 pounds. If you want to take a car, you can walk 30 kilometers east along the coast. ."

After speaking, he stood on the side of the boat with his hips akimbo, waiting for one of the three to come out and pay the bill. And his two cousins ​​also stood beside him to prevent any accidents from happening. After all, they are doing illegal business, and the Merpeople are mixed.

The three people on the boat stood up and asked the tall man softly: "Is that little one getting off the boat here?"

"Yes, don't ask. Hurry up and give the money and go, there are also marine police in this piece." Terry said anxiously.

Ignoring Terry’s uneasy emotions, the tall man turned his head indifferently and said: "überprüfen." (check it)

The other two silently went down the ship and dispersed, turning their heads at all Looking around, one of them took out a black stick to draw in circles.

See them in this painting. Terry squinted his eyes, and a dangerous rays of light flashed in his eyes. He slowly lifted up the semi-wet shirt, revealing the redwood revolver at his waist.

His two cousins ​​saw that Tai Nie was not good-looking. After they looked at each other, they put their hands in their pockets, where there were two thick knives.

Terry is a smuggler, a person with blood on his hands. He has also seen dangerous stowaways, murderers, robbers, thieves...but in 20 years, no one has ever taken advantage of them.

However, the scene that shocked Terri appeared.

The chest of the tall hooded man in front of him suddenly bulged, and then a silver light shining monkey head came out. It has long silver hair and huge eyes.

It crawled to the shoulder of the tall man with the hood in twos and threes, and looked at Taili with sympathetic eyes, then closed his eyes and shook his head in the air.

Terry has never seen this kind of monkey, never before.

His two cousins ​​were also completely dumbfounded.

Silver Monkey suddenly opened his eyes, pointed in a direction and cried out zhi zhi.

The hooded man was nodded, and the other two men with black sticks immediately put away the black sticks.

The three of them walked in the direction pointed by the silver monkey, without any intention of stopping to pay the bill.

Terry was angry, and he pulled out the revolver from his waist. Pointing forward with a click.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing!"

His two cousins ​​oh la la pulled out the machete at once.

However, the three people walked in front of them one after another, their steps were steady and firm, and they didn't mean to stop at all. The shout to him seemed unheard of.

Terry squeezed his hand on the trigger, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He was also a person who had participated in the war, and he did not shy away from killing.

However, at this moment, something suddenly fell on Terry's shoulder.

Terry thought it was a seabird in this area, but when he turned his head, he was immediately dumbfounded.

This is a creature he has never seen before.

It has a butterfly-like body, but it is as big as a falcon. It is green with purple horny bumps on its wings. It has cold red eyes and thin hooks.

Terry was dumbfounded.

The next second, the creature opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and purple letter.

It screamed, and it didn't give Terry time to react at all. Feishi leaped on Terry's face. Terry, who had never seen such a battle, panicked. He ripped it up in a hurry, trying to tear off the monster attached to his face.

"Idiot, help!!"

His two knife cousins ​​were also dumbfounded. They didn't care about the three weird men, thinking hurriedly. Help Terry pull the weird creature away.

The monster was very tightly attached, and the power of being an adult was useless. The monster opened his mouth, and the letter pierced Terry's head.

"Uh ah!!!"

Terry exhaled miserably, he only felt that all his memories were quickly moving away from him, including his emotions and rationality.

The two cousins ​​were anxious and tore them frantically.

But at this time, in the sky, two weird creatures fell down again and landed on the shoulders of two cousins ​​of Terry.

After the two looked at each other, they were instantly enveloped in great fear.

They didn't care about anything, they ran wildly.

They didn't run very far before they fell to the ground. One by one desperately struggled and convulsed.

On the other side, Terry didn't even remember what he called. In the end, he pulled the trigger frantically in despair.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

......

The smoke cleared, and after a few shots, the beach fell silent.

Terry fell on the beach, motionless. The same is true for his two cousins.

The green and purple fleshy wings hugged Terry's face. On the deserted beach, there was a toothy sucking sound, and half of its body got into the head of the man in front of it.

Finally, the sound of teeth grinding ended.

The green and purple creature pulled out his head and shook the blood on his body. He spread his wings and quickly caught up with the man who was walking in the distance.

Soon after, the other two also finished eating and got up and started chasing their master.

Only the bodies of the three of them were left lying on the deserted beach. Each of their foreheads was drilled out of a bowl-sized hole, and the inside was empty.

After the high tide, the bodies of the three were swept by the sea and rolled on the floodplain, disappearing without a trace.
