Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 263 The Last Batch of Goods

In the diner.

It looks like a very casual restaurant, and it is a little messy, but it is already considered a good restaurant in the small town of Scarborough.

After all, in this small town, it is only a little over a month that is lively all year round.

And the people who come here are naturally for money, there is no need to covet temporary enjoyment, and they don't care much about these superficial things.

"Xia Mu, these days, thanks to you, our work can go on so smoothly."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman sitting opposite Xia Mu looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.

Four people, each sitting in one seat, and eating only some simple meals, it doesn't matter at all.

"Please don't say that, I just did what I had to do."

Xia Mu replied.

The remuneration given by these Fusang merchants is still very rich. Xia Mu felt a little lucky to find such a job.

"What a humble man."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman sat upright when talking, as if eating and talking were also things that needed to be treated seriously.

"If the goods have already arrived, we'd better register the goods earlier."

Xia Mu said.

It's not that Xia Mu is thinking about working or expressing himself, but that Xia Mu has already eaten at night, and he can't eat anything at this time. It would be too boring to sit here and chat.

"Not urgent."

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant replied.

……

Time passed slowly, and Xia Mu and they were just chatting about some insignificant things.

"By the way, Xia Mu, this batch of goods is our last batch, so..."

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu, and when he spoke, he had a sorry expression.

"That's it, it's okay. During this time, I really thank you all."

Xia Mu replied.

Xia Mu originally only planned to work for a while, and earning money is enough, so he didn't feel much about it.

late at night.

The restaurant, which was quite lively at first, has become deserted with the passage of time, until in the end there were only four of them left.

The guy at the counter, his chin propped on his hand, was drowsy.

The dim yellow candlelight at the door of the store swayed gently. When the wind blows, I feel that the flame will be blown out every time, but I always persevere tenaciously, lighting up a small area at the door.

"Let's go."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman stood up, rubbed his hands, and felt a sense of excitement, but it was a suppressed excitement, which was not obvious.

"Ah."

Xia Mu followed the three of them and walked out of the small restaurant together.

The guy was completely asleep at this time, even though Xia Mu and the others had left, they didn't notice it at all.

On the table, keep the meal money.

So, this guy, won't be scolded for negligence.

"The night is already very deep."

Xia Mu looked up at the sky, it was pitch black, it was a moonless night, if it wasn't for the lights of some nightclubs in the distance, he would not even be able to see the road in front of him clearly.

The three Fusang merchants walked quickly, and did not answer Xia Mu's words. Of course, in this case, there is no need to answer.

Although the walking speed is very fast.

However, their breathing was very stable, unlike Xia Mu, whose breathing had already begun to appear a little disordered.

When I arrived at the ferry, I almost saw a person. The entire sea surface was black. If it wasn't because of familiarity, I probably wouldn't have noticed even walking into the sea.

"There is no boat."

Xia Mu looked at the sea and the ferry, but did not see a ship with lights on.

If you came to deliver the goods today, then there must be lights on the ship. In such a dark environment, you can almost see it at a glance.

"Just turn off the lights."

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu and said lightly.

After finishing speaking, the thin and shrewd Fusang businessman picked up his mobile phone from his pocket, made a call, and exchanged a few words in words Xia Mu couldn't understand.

A light suddenly lit up on the sea.

The outline of a big ship appeared in the darkness, far away from the sea, but it was still visible, which was enough to show that it was a big ship.

Generally, the ships that use cargo are relatively small, because the risk will be smaller.If you explain it with investment thinking, you should never put all your eggs in one basket.

Although this ship has not entered the coast yet, Xia Mu knows that it must be the largest ship he has seen in Scarborough.

"It seems...tonight I'm busy..."

Xia Mu thought secretly in his heart.

The boat moved slowly towards the shore, and there were big waves on the sea. Xia Mu and the others only needed to wait for the boat to dock, and then unload the cargo inside.

The boat docked quickly.

A tall, very large ship, in the dark, like a building.

"Take out what's in it."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman spoke slowly into the phone.

There were some mechanical friction sounds in the big ship, and then a mechanical arm protruded from the ship, which was very long, like the cantilever used for lifting things in high-altitude operations.

At this time, although Xia Mu had many doubts in his heart, he didn't ask.

Because, apart from them, there is no one around now. Wait until late at night to do such a thing, and the things used must not be known by outsiders.

The top of the mechanical arm is holding a wooden box with steel claws. It looks like a very ordinary box. It is no different from the boxes used before. It is probably produced in the same batch.

The mechanical arm continued to extend, and the big ship docked at the seaside. After the mechanical arm put the wooden box on the beach, it slowly retracted it.

The big boat by the sea turned off the lights, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.

There is the sound of a big ship moving forward in the sea, and the sound gets farther and farther until it disappears, which also means that the big ship has left here.

……

The box was about 100 meters away from Xia Mu and the others.

However, at this time, none of the three Fusang merchants had passed by, so Xia Mu could only stand quietly aside, waiting for their instructions.

"Xia Mu, at this distance, can you visually measure the size of that box?"

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu and asked him.

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman held a bright flashlight in his hand and kept shining on the wooden box, so Xia Mu could still see the box clearly.

"The size of the blur can be judged, but it is a bit difficult to detail."

Xia Mu looked at the thin and shrewd Fusang merchant, and replied to him.

Although those boxes seem to be produced in the same batch, and the wood used is exactly the same, but there are some differences in the size of each box.

Some of these differences are large, some are very subtle, and they are completely irregular.

It is very difficult to estimate the size of the box from 100 meters away without getting close to the wooden box.

"We want to be detailed, and the error should not exceed one centimeter."

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant looked at Xia Mu and said slowly.

"Go directly to measure, is this okay?"

Xia Mu asked.

The thin and shrewd Fusang merchant was silent for a while, lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something: "Yes..."

……

Xia Mu walked towards the wooden box, walking neither fast nor slow, in the normal walking state.

The eyes of the other two Fusang merchants glanced at the thin and shrewd Fusang merchant, their eyes were complicated, their mouths moved, but they still didn't say anything in the end.

far away.

Inugami carefully captured the subtle smell in the air.

"The fishy smell..."

Inugami seemed to be talking to himself.

Even when Inugami spoke, his voice was very low, but because Guhuo Niao was standing very close to Inugami, he still heard what Inugami said, but he didn't hear clearly.

"What did you say?"

Gu Huo Bird looked at Inugami and asked him.

"fishy smell!"

Inugami replied, his tone was very affirmative.

Gu Huo Niao and Inu Shen have followed Xia Mu for a long time, so they all know what Xia Mu and Fusang merchants did before.

Suddenly, a large ship appeared on the beach.

After putting down a small box, the big ship slowly left in the dark...

"fishy smell?"

Gu Huo Niao still didn't understand what Inugami meant, after all, at this time, Gu Huo Niao didn't smell anything.

"Well, it's still heavy. In the sea, there must be a lot of fish floating on the surface."

Inugami continued.

When Inugami spoke, he kept frowning, as if trying to think of something, but he didn't think of what he wanted to know at all.

Xia Mu was still approaching the box.

Although Xia Mu didn't walk very fast, at this time, he was only five or sixty meters away from the box.

"stop!"

A girl's voice sounded, it was the voice of shouting, with the vibration of water waves, as if it came from the sea.

Xia Mu looked up and saw nothing.

"Could it be that I heard wrong?"

Xia Mu thought suspiciously, and then continued to walk forward.

"stop!!!"

The same voice sounded again, and it became louder and clearer than last time.

This time, Xia Mu heard it clearly.Xia Mu stopped and looked around. Behind him were the three Fusang merchants, standing at the original place, looking at Xia Mu from a distance.

The light from the strong flashlight formed a straight beam of light, shot out from the hands of the thin and shrewd Fusang merchant, passed by Xia Mu's side, and finally landed in the small wooden box.

Some moths, attracted by the bright light of the flashlight, flew around the beam of light.

All of this seems to be normal, but what's going on with that voice?Xia Mu's new power is full of doubts.

A moth flew towards the wooden box on the beach.

30 meters...20 meters...ten meters...

The moth suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the ground, motionless and silent...

"What exactly is going on?"

Xia Mu saw the moth flying past and fell on the ground, but because of the distance, Xia Mu couldn't be sure whether the moth just landed on the ground on purpose or because of some special reason. .

As for whether the moth is alive now, Xia Mu doesn't even know.

"it's me!"

The light from the strong flashlight shines from the wooden box onto the sea in the distance. A girl in a blue kimono stands quietly on the sea.

From the looks of it, this is an incredible scene.

But in Xia Mu's heart, there was not much surprise, because Xia Mu had seen the girl in blue kimono in front of her before.

And at that time, Xia Mu was sure that the girl was a monster.

"It seems that someone is here to disrupt the situation."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman standing in the distance looked at Jiaotu and Xia Mu, and said slowly, with a gloomy and sinister look in his eyes.

"Want to go up?"

The strong and strong Fusang businessman standing aside looked at the thin and shrewd Fusang businessman and asked him.

Although it was just a normal speaking voice, it also had a full-bodied and vigorous feeling.

"The other party doesn't seem to be human."

The thin and shrewd Fusang businessman shone the light of the flashlight on Jiaotu, and said lightly.

The scene of Jiaotu just standing on the water didn't surprise the three Fusang merchants, on the contrary, they became a little interested.

"Hey, I'm coming."

Standing aside, the woman who hadn't spoken all this time snorted coldly, and then said.

It was a woman in a black workplace uniform. The clothes and body fit well. She looked clean and neat. Her exposed legs were tightly wrapped by black stockings, and the bottom was a pair of black leather shoes.

The skinny businessman looked at the woman beside him with a smile on his face, very confident.

"Ah."

The skinny merchant replied.

The woman took out a piece of paper cut into the shape of a small paper man from her bosom, and threw it into the air.

Then read softly: "Hurry up like a law!"

The moment the piece of paper hit the ground, it turned into a little boy holding a big mallet. It looked like a wild little boy.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The little boy looked, and the woman asked him.

"The girl in the blue kimono on the sea, did you see it? Kill her!"

The woman said lightly.

"Leader!"

After the little boy finished speaking, he took the big mallet and rushed towards Jiaotu. The speed was not very fast, not much different from the normal running speed of humans.

When the little boy ran past Xia Mu, Xia Mu saw a faint halo emanating from him.

"This boy is also a monster!"

Xia Mu already understood in his heart.

"Jiaotu, run!"

Xia Mu shouted to Jiaotu who was standing on the sea.

Although at this time, Xia Mu didn't know whether Jiaotu was an enemy or a friend, but Xia Mu couldn't help shouting out, probably because he had always had a good feeling for Jiaotu before.
