Leader of the Ark Raiders

Today's task is to investigate the situation in the city.

But Shen Cangye didn't plan to go out during the day.

Saltwind City has a curfew.

During the day, Inquisitors patrol the streets.

As outsiders, there are several deep-sea hunters in the same company, and they will definitely be the focus of attention of the judge.

In case Scarti and Little Inquisitor Alini fight again...

That's not something to talk about leisurely.

——That would raise the issue to a level between Rhodes Island and the Iberian Inquisition.

Shen Cangye didn't want to get into these messy troubles.

Last time in Casimir, he got into trouble.

Then he was bombarded with long and difficult sentences by the old lynx for an hour.

This time he got it right.

Definitely don't want to do it again.

They plan to wait until after the evening curfew before going out.

During the day, several deep-sea hunters rested in the room.

Shen Cangye sat on the bed, closed his eyes, and activated the spell he had learned in another plane—Hawkeye.

This is a means of investigation, which can lift the operator's field of vision away from the body and raise it to the height of a bird.

He carefully inspected the buildings and streets in Saltwind City.

The hotel they were staying in was located in the center of the city.

On the high ground behind them stood the church of Saltwind.

Some homes in the downtown area are still inhabited, but most have been boarded up tightly.

After watching for a while, Shen Cangye suddenly discovered something strange.

He lowered his vision a little.

In front of the dilapidated houses on the street, he vaguely saw some...seafood?

Live fish, shrimp, shellfish... dance on the streets.

After a while, the door of the house opened, and the lifeless residents of Saltwind City came out of the house.

They staggered out into the street, picked up food, and staggered back into the house.

...It seems that they have become accustomed to this situation.

It's like going to the street to buy groceries every day.

Shen Cangye was a little puzzled.

There were obviously no such fish, shrimps and shellfish yesterday evening.

Why did it suddenly appear after one night?

What brings these seafood here?

What happened last night?

Shen Cangye remembered that he heard rustling sounds in the early morning.

He didn't care at the time.

What is that sound?

He then looked at other places in Saltwind City.

He saw that little judge Eleni had just driven over from outside the city.

She doesn't seem to live in Saltwind City.

Every night she would leave and come back in the morning.

Ai Lini went straight into the city hall.

Maybe he went in to report to the Grand Inquisitor An Likui stationed in Yanfeng City.

After a while, Eleni came out of the city hall and started patrolling the streets.

Shen Cangye turned his sight back.

He saw at the door of the hotel where they were, the dumb guy and Anita picked up seafood that appeared inexplicably at the door...

what is happening?

Is it divided into households?

Utopia?

Shen Cangye was a little lucky.

Fortunately, I only ate a little vegetable soup and bread last night, and didn't eat the seafood stored in the kitchen.

It's better not to touch such strange things.

Full of doubts, he began to investigate other places in the city.

Connected to the central area, it should be the place where the rich people in the city once lived, and it is now completely abandoned.

Probably, people with a little financial ability all fled the city as soon as possible.

The boulevards of the affluent district are stained with stains, and the mansions are surrounded by wooden fences.

The grounds of the mansion were clearly neglected and the weeds had grown beyond the height of the fence.

There are also many abandoned huts in the city, their dark doors and windows are left open indiscriminately.

Part of the building is tilted due to the sinking of the foundation, which is particularly strange.

Across the affluent neighborhoods surrounding the downtown area, near the sea, are completely abandoned neighborhoods.

Abandoned houses are connected in one piece, and the collapsed roofs stretch into jagged lines.

The countless empty windows and the cobwebs in the dark room made people feel an unspeakable fear and loathing.

The deeper you go into the city, the weirder it becomes.

There is nothing unusual in the city.

No sea si, no fear fish.

but.

It's like being locked in a room that makes weird noises from time to time.

You know there's something supernatural in this house.

But you never know when it will show up.

Because the eagle eye technique's perspective is limited to a high-altitude view, Shen Cangye has no way to understand what the interior of each building—especially the city hall and church—is like.

This can only rely on their on-the-spot investigation.

So the waiting during the day became anxious.

——The degree of mystery of this city exceeded their original estimation.

Finally, when night fell, Little Inquisitor Alini left Saltwind City.

It was close to midnight.

After making sure that there was no one on the street, Shen Cangye and the three deep sea hunters left the hotel and came to the dilapidated streets of Yanfeng City.

They started to investigate from the highest point, first exploring the church on the high ground.

Got nothing.

The church had obviously been abandoned for a long time, it was in dilapidated condition, and even the basement was empty.

Then they walked cautiously through the city, and finally came to the city hall.

Shen Cangye gestured to the others, signaling them to wait in the courtyard of the city hall.

He himself entered the city hall alone.

This is a typical Gothic building.

Marble arcades, loggias, balconies, wooden shutters, and intricate carvings tell of its former glory all the time.

At the moment, however, its exterior and interior are nothing but dilapidated.

The old furniture was piled up on one side of the room like garbage, the floor was covered with thick dust, and the beautiful glass chandelier was crumbling.

Shen Cangye walked up the already corrupted steps to the second floor.

Facing the conference hall, Shen Cangye spotted the last fragment of "The Entrance to Dreamland" hanging on the wall at a glance.

However, despite seeing the oil painting, nothing happened.

Business as usual.

- He was not summoned to the Labyrinth, and no other enemies appeared.

Normal is not normal.

Shen Cangye took off the oil painting and wrapped it carefully.

He searched the other rooms of the town hall.

There are no new discoveries.

All rooms appear to have been unoccupied for several years.

How can this be so?

According to what Anita said, Grand Inquisitor Enrique should live in the city hall.

Why does the city hall look like this at this time...

Apparently Ai Lini came here in the morning.

Finding nothing else, Shen Cangye left this old building full of doubts.

"Have you found anything?"

As soon as Shen Cangye came out, Gloria couldn't wait to ask questions.

Shen Cangye pondered for a while, then shook his head, "I didn't find An Likui, and there were no monsters or anything else, but the last fragment of the oil painting was found."

"Captain!" Ghost Shark called out suddenly.

They turned their heads to look at the same time.

While smelling the smell of dead fish, they vaguely heard voices coming from the cape.

The location of the city hall is relatively high.

From this vantage point, you can have a panoramic view of the lower urban areas.

Shen Cangye's night vision ability is not bad, and several other hunters who have long been accustomed to fighting in the deep sea can also see clearly in the dark.

After just one glance, they all held their breath.

Dinosaur.

Thick dino fish.

They undulate and crawl.

They climbed onto the land from the coast and poured into the downtown area of ​​Saltwind City.

Under the sneering yellow moonlight, those hideous monsters of the deep sea entered the streets of the city in twisted ways.

When the surging fearfish appeared on the street where they were, Gloria pointed her finger, and the three deep-sea hunters launched an attack at the same time.

The long lance danced, and Gloria rolled up the vortex with amazing arm strength, smashing all the leading fear fish in a few moments.
