Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

The pace here is slow and leisurely, with holographic electronic signs welcoming tourists everywhere. The signs are displayed in the languages ​​of various countries in Terra in turn, and the road signs are also available in multiple languages, making it as comfortable as possible.

The first time I came to Xiosta was on a mission, and the second time... it seemed to be the same.

Feng Qingyu has never had a proper tour of this city. When the operators of Rhodes Island are busy, they always have endless things to do, but when they are free, they are even more bored than playing games. It's like two extremes.

After standing in the morning breeze for a while, the sleepiness was completely gone.

"Let's go, the agent from the office is waiting for us, and he told me he wants to treat us to breakfast."

"That's good."

Wei Cao's mouth corners raised inadvertently without her even noticing.

The two Drakes followed the crowd to the airport exit. A young man with dark hair and casual clothes was waiting outside, holding a sign with the Rhode Island logo. The young man wore a white laser-patterned T-shirt and black cropped pants, a pair of gray Xiostar Obsidian Festival co-branded casual shoes, black glasses, and a unique-looking knife on his waist.

He looked like he was still sleepy and kept yawning. Maybe he slept too late the night before. It took a lot of willpower to get up in the morning and overcome his sleepiness to go to the airport to pick someone up.

"Good morning, Operator Thorn."

"Morning... Please wait for me for a few minutes. I need a cup of coffee."

Thorn tried hard not to yawn in front of his colleagues, but he couldn't control it.

"I'll buy you coffee. I'll drive you later. I know the address of the new office in Rhode Island. You can catch up on your sleep in the back seat. I'm sorry to have you get up at three in the morning to pick me up at the airport."

"It's just Dr. Kal'tsit's task... Ahem, I can get overtime pay, so it's worth sacrificing a little sleep time."

When they all got on the SUV provided by the office, Ji Ci finally couldn't resist the overwhelming sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep as soon as his body touched the back seat. Wei Cao sat in the passenger seat, and Feng Qingyu naturally became the driver for this trip.

You don't have to go to the center of Xiosta to eat breakfast. The restaurants on the beach serve large portions and are affordable. They are unlike those branded restaurants that only try to rip off customers' wallets.

As soon as the car drove out of the airport, it entered a flat road built around the sea.

The sea in Xiosta is very gentle, not as dangerous and murderous as the sea in Iberia. They did not complain about the sea in Iberia, because there was an operator from Iberia on the bus, and it was not right to complain about his hometown in front of others.

Weicao opened the car window, letting the sea breeze and morning breeze blow into the car.

The sound of waves hitting the shore is as soothing as the sound of rain at night. Far away from Victoria's high-rise buildings, the world surrounded by steel and motor oil, there is no sight of those cold, rusty metals and pipes, no sound of deep pool soldiers training and marching, no purple flames burning the eyes...

There is only an endless calm sea, continuous stretches of azure and silver, and layers of gray mountains in the distance. Under the azure, gold and fiery red are about to burst and explode, spreading light and heat to every corner of the city.

Even more enthusiastic than Xiosta was Draco who was in the driver's seat.

“I wish I had more time like this.”

"Ok?"

"I am talking to myself, don't worry. The weather in Xiosta is very good. I hardly see such a sky in Londinium."

Wei Cao made up an excuse to get away with it.

It's not the time to reveal that little thought yet, she prefers to hide it first.

58. Haisi invasion?

Passing by several beaches, we saw some people in uniform walking around with tools in their hands. Large fluorescent dark blue objects grew on the shallow beaches near the coast. Those objects were wriggling in all directions, like a group of reptiles stuck together.

The blue slime dyed the beach the same color, and a fishy and salty smell seeped in through the gaps in the car windows.

It was a familiar smell, the same one that the weirdo who stuffed the key of "fate" into Feng Qingyu's body had.

"This place is also in trouble..."

The beach of Xiosta is so beautiful, but if it were to be completely occupied by unknown creatures crawling ashore from the sea and turned into a real paradise, it would be a scene that would make anyone sad and cry.

Anyone who has seen Minghen knows how difficult it is to deal with. People who come into direct contact with it will suffer mental damage, have severe hallucinations, have their bodies invaded by Haisi's cells, and eventually be assimilated, falling into confusion and madness.

Tourists coming to Xiosta come from all over the world, and they will spread Minghen and Haisi's genes to all parts of Terra, and the spread will be as fast as a virus.

The more he thought about it, the scarier it seemed. Feng Qingyu broke out in a cold sweat early in the morning. He quickly closed the car window and lit a light-smelling cigarette to cover up the strange smell.

With so many beaches seeing the invasion of the Abyss, it makes sense that the Rhodes Island office in Xiosta would need an operator who can use fire magic.

The office also cooperated with the Xiosta authorities to help clean up some of the sea urchins and fish. The tools provided by the Xiosta Crisis Management Bureau were obviously not very easy to use. The staff were not very good at using them, and the handling efficiency was low.

Looking at the beach which gradually turned into fluorescent blue, Feng Qingyu's scalp began to tingle.

They burned from morning till night, not knowing whether they could get rid of it or not, and drove the fish that were active on the beach in front of the office back to the sea. Once this thing spreads on land, it will be difficult to burn it freely like in an uninhabited area, and people or buildings may be burned accidentally.

The beaches invaded by Minghen were also temporarily blocked and cleaned up by Xiosta officials for various reasons. The people who dealt with Minghen were made nervous and exhausted, and suspected of suffering from mental pollution and mental damage.

When the car drove into the beach where the Rhode Island office was located, the yellow and black cordon swayed in the wind, blue light flickered in the sea water, and the traces of sea water on the beach were temporarily cleared. There were several "Danger, do not approach the beach" signs around, using eye-catching fonts and exaggerated colors to remind passers-by.

The water sports equipment store on the first floor was also temporarily closed. The operators were too busy cleaning up the Minghen and the terrifying fish to spare any time. Rhodes Island's side business was not the main source of income, so they would not starve to death if they were closed for a while.

The big money can only be made by accepting commissions from the Xiosta government and various organizations. In comparison, the economic benefits obtained from selling swimsuits, swimming rings, surfboards and other items are really pitiful.

Feng Qingyu drove the car into the designated parking space and woke up Ci who was sleeping soundly in the back seat.

"Hey

o, we have arrived.”

"Ah... Good morning."

Thorn slowly sat up, sobered up a little, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the office door.

The person in charge of the Xiosta office is a Liberia woman with long black hair who is just over 30 years old. Her code name is Fire Gun. She looks like a tired office worker. It seems that she is annoyed by these endlessly growing Ming Scars.

"Are you the operators assigned by Doctor Kal'tsit?"

"I am Black Feather and she is Reed."

Feng Qingyu hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately did not reach out her hand to shake hands with the other person, for fear that the other person would not accept it and leave her standing there alone in embarrassment.

"You are the famous Kuroba. I have heard of you for a long time. You are really good-looking. Even I, an operator who is not stationed on the ship, have heard of you."

Huochong's lazy tone suddenly became very enthusiastic, but it was only within the boundaries of politeness, without any overstepping of boundaries. Breakfast was taken at a restaurant 200 meters away from the office. The food provided by the restaurant was very characteristic of a coastal city, with seafood and meat as the side dishes, but relatively few vegetables.

After a quick breakfast, Huo Chong took Feng Qingyu and Wei Cao to the Rhode Island staff dormitory on the second floor of the office to rest. The room was very clean, not too big or too small, and had bedding, pillows, and other bedding prepared in advance. The environment was comfortable, and all the daily necessities were available. It was the type where you could fall asleep as soon as you lay down.

Each of them was assigned an empty room, so there was no need to worry about who would sleep on the bed and who would sleep on the sofa.

I didn't get a good night's sleep during those days in Peninsula County. I finally got a bed to lie down and rest, so I had to make use of every minute I could sleep.

The work of cleaning up the abyss is carried out between the afternoon and the early morning, which is equivalent to working the night shift, and the daytime world is used for sleeping.

Rhodes Island operators must learn to adapt to the professional characteristics of working at any time. Sometimes, they receive notification of a mission just after their lower body armor is removed, before mating begins, and before their tails are put in, and they have to hold back the idea of ​​mating.

Now she is pure and wants nothing more than to devote her body to the soft and comfortable bed.

"See you this afternoon, good night."

"Good night."

Wei Cao waited until the door opposite closed, feeling lost, and had to go back to her room to wash up and lie down to rest. She stared at the white ceiling with a light blue glass chandelier, and fell asleep to the sound of the waves.

Xiosta's environment made her more relaxed and less likely to have nightmares than Victoria's, so she had a high-quality sleep without waking up halfway.

When the afternoon sun shone on his face, bringing a noticeable burning sensation, Reed opened his eyes.

The light blue ripple chandelier was still overhead, and the blinding sunlight leaked into the room through the gaps in the curtains. She was ready to close the curtains and continue sleeping. There were still two hours before the Fire Gun was called to recruit operators, so she could still get some more sleep.

"咚咚-"

"咚咚-"

There was a chaotic knocking sound outside the glass window. The dormitory was not on the first floor, so it was not reasonable to hear the sound of someone knocking with their hands. The sound continued, making people feel upset.

The knocking outside became more and more intense, and Wei Cao could no longer bear it, so she prepared to open the window to see what was going on. When the curtains were drawn, she saw an unknown creature lying on the glass.

The monster has eight dark blue legs and is shaped like a crouching deformed person. Its head is like a skull wrapped in a transparent membrane, and its back is covered with sea scales that reflect the sunlight.

The thing knocking on the window was exactly this sea urchin.

Wei Cao could tell at a glance that it was different from an ordinary monster. The breath of the deep sea penetrated the sealed windows and entered the room. She had to go outside and get rid of this annoying monster.

I cannot accept that the rest time I finally got was ruined by a sea snake.

Draco's anger burned in his heart, and he decided to use fire magic to burn Hai Si to ashes.

In the blink of an eye, Haisi's body made a "puff" sound and was shredded into a bloody mess by something.

59. Ghost Shark

Haisi was torn into pieces by some sharp object in an instant. The sight of blood and flesh flying everywhere made Weicao suddenly feel nauseous. His empty abdomen began to feel sour and bitter bile was eager to rush out of his body.

Fortunately, I didn’t eat much breakfast, otherwise it would be troublesome to clean up if I vomited on the ground.

Weicao was completely sleepless now, so she had to put on her slippers and go to the first floor to find out what was going on. In addition to the smell of the sea, she also smelled an unusual, not unpleasant, deep sea smell.

There may be an uninvited guest from the deep sea outside.

Is it the Algorans? Is it the Iberians? Or is it something else?

A bunch of new question marks occupied his mind, and Wei Cao's only ability to think was unable to sort out his thoughts. Feng Qingyu, who lived in the opposite room, was also awakened by the sound of fighting, and he didn't even notice that he had put his slippers on the wrong feet.

"What happened?"

She squinted her eyes, still feeling sleepy, and her movements were as slow as a zombie.

"I just saw a sea urchin knocking on the window. Just as I was about to kill it, it was torn into pieces by something. Part of its body was still stuck to the window of the room. It was a bit... disgusting."

"Do you need me to clean the windows?"

"It's best to borrow a high-pressure water gun from Miss Fire Gun. Believe me, you don't want to see that scene."

Weicao suppressed her nausea and tried not to think about the bloody scene of the sea turtle. The other operators in the office were not there, and there was no one in the lobby on the first floor. A black and white figure was shuttling between the shelves, which displayed the latest women's swimwear of the season.

Rhodes Island has a cooperative relationship with Terra's famous clothing brand Yishishan, and all the clothes sold are from Yishishan, which cannot be compared with the things sold in ordinary water sports equipment stores on the street.

Yishishan's design style and taste are unique in Terra. The clothes displayed in the window do not need to be advertised in a big way. Customers will be attracted by the charm it exudes, like two strong magnets attracting each other.

The figure had a strong aura of murder, the kind that made the people around him shudder. In addition, Wei Cao used too much detail to describe how Hai Si was torn into countless pieces. They also saw Hai Si's bloody body that was almost unrecognizable. They had to be vigilant against the visitor who appeared in the office without any warning.

A terrible thought echoed in my mind - the other operators might have been killed (bushi), which is why the office is so quiet.

They hid behind the shelves, cautiously, for fear of disturbing the guy standing in front of the swimwear area. Feng Qingyu's tail accidentally touched the goggles on the shelf.

The falling plastic box made a very obvious noise, and the black and white figures suddenly shortened the distance and appeared from the side passage.

Feng Qingyu was thinking "It's over", and was ready to fight to the death. The uninvited guest did not take any violent action, but showed a vague and somewhat empty smile.

"I'm sorry, did I scare you guys just now?"

This terrifying mysterious visitor is Agor, a girl with long white hair, red eyes and a very broken look. Agor is dressed like a nun and holds a black circular saw in her hand. There are strange colored attachments in the gaps between the saw teeth, dark blue and black, and some dark red sticky liquid that stains her clothes and is difficult to clean.

Agol's eyes were filled with madness and confusion

She must have killed that Haisi.

Only the circular saw can chop living things into pieces in an instant.

"Your sudden appearance will scare people, Miss Laurentina. No, I'll just call you Ghost Shark. Are you just passing by or do you have a mission?"

"Should it be considered... passing by? Skadi asked me to wait for her in the office, and she had to deal with some unimportant things. I almost got lost and lost the map. I smelled the scent from the deep sea and followed it, only to find that they had infiltrated the house... I killed the terrifying fish and cut its body. Cutting is a very happy thing. Some things have nothing to do with each other. From the beginning, they should not be combined together..."

Ghost Shark's way of speaking is a bit neurotic, and people who are not familiar with her will definitely feel scared. Feng Qingyu and Wei Cao are not seeing her for the first time, so they are used to her way of speaking.

She is a patient and neurosis is her pathological trait, so if you understand it this way, you won't be afraid.

Since the person who came was Ghost Shark, the operators from other offices must still be alive. She was not crazy enough to kill her own people. Using a circular saw to shred Haisi was Ghost Shark's unique fighting style. Everything that happened to her would make sense.

"You are really scary. Don't walk so quietly next time, please."

"Definitely next time."

The ghost shark gave a somewhat weird smile.

Until now, Feng Qingyu's heart was still beating wildly due to excessive shock. As an apology, Ghost Shark invited them to a nearby cafe for tea.

The culprit who scared the person awake offered to treat her. Feng Qingyu was worried that she couldn't calculate the price of the coffee, and was afraid that the clerk would take advantage of her unclear mind and blatantly charge her more money.

Ghost Shark's mental state and memory are extremely unstable. She suffers from severe mental disorders, which may include but are not limited to memory disorders, emotional disorders and cognitive disorders. She often falls into a serious mental disorder state, and other operators dare not contact her.

She occasionally had moments of clarity, but only for a moment before returning to normal.

So, how did Skadi let her come alone?

It was very likely that they were temporarily lost, or that Ghost Shark had inexplicably left her companions and wandered off on her own. Feng Qingyu could not determine why she appeared in the office, but it was most likely that she had been separated from Skadi.

"I'll pay for the coffee, you stay here. Want something else?"

"I like any meat, thank you... I've been fighting for so long, I'm starving. Now, I want to clean my weapons first, please wait a moment."
