Legends of Runeterra

Although the sun has not completely set yet, most of the area in Porto has fallen into darkness except for the tall buildings.

The fire, ignited by the fat of sea beasts, emitted a faint black smoke and a strange smell, bringing not-so-bright light to the people of Bilgewater.

"Huhuhu~!"

Even though his lungs felt like they were about to explode, the burly pirate kept running.

There was still a bullet in the pistol in his hand, but he had no intention of looking back.

Not long ago, he saw with his own eyes the monster chasing him, which was hit by a bullet and shattered into salt grains and water droplets, and then gathered together again without any sign of injury.

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Why the hell did I have to meet this monster! "

The man continued to curse in his mind, trying to let the anger melt the fear in his heart.

The man, who had reaped a lot of rewards from a robbery, was planning to go to the tavern with the coins he earned to spend some time, but he didn't expect to run into the monster in the rumors.

I had only seen it for a fleeting glimpse, but I had seen the sharp saw-blade dagger, the dark blue eyes, the dark red mask, and the gray bald head covered with hideous scars and emitting the color of death under the whale oil torch.

All these factors come together to form the Blood Harbor Ghost, the bounty seeker of the Siren worth one thousand gold that has made the people of Bilgewater nervous.

“Gurgle~Gurgle~!”

A strange sound, as if a huge fish was swimming quickly past, was heard all around.

The pirate had no intention of observing anything and just ran away wildly.

The complex and winding road, built on the sea cliffs and illegally constructed without any regulations, did not slow down the pirates' speed at all.

"It's almost there! It's almost there! Once we get into the tavern, there are so many scapegoats..."

"Come sink to the bottom of the sea with me~!"

A low, hoarse, resentful voice sounded.

"Shua~!"

The serrated dagger tore through the air and shot straight at the pirate.

"Pfft~!"

“Ho ho ho~!”

The pirate tried to open his mouth, but only this faint sound came out.

His hand reached for his throat in panic, and the sharp blade easily cut his fingertips.

"Wow~!"

Pike tugged hard on the chain that held the dagger.

"Plop~!"

The head and body fell to the muddy ground together, which was the pirate's last words.

"Shua~!"

The serrated dagger stained with bright red blood fell into his hand, and Pike took out a roll of parchment from his waist and unfolded it.

"Hmm... I learned one more thing."

Using the blood as ink, Pike scratched the parchment with the tip of the sharp blade.

It looked as if he was seeking revenge according to the list, but if someone looked from the side, they could easily find that the parchment was already covered with knife marks, and under the cover of dark red blood, no words on the list could be seen.

"You don't look like you can write, do you need my help?"

"Shua~!"

The moment the gentle voice sounded, the serrated dagger stabbed behind him without hesitation.

"Qiang~!"

Two slender fingers held the dagger firmly.

"Wow~!"

Pike's figure turned into salt grains and water mist and disappeared in an instant.

"Li En, this guy escaped!"

"No, he won't leave. I still have the dagger."

Li En just finished speaking.

“Gurgle~Gurgle~!”

Although they were clearly on land, the strange swimming sounds continued to be heard around Li En.

Little Gwen's face tensed, and she jumped directly from Li En's shoulder, and turned back into human form in mid-air.

"Hey~!"

Gwen took out a pair of half-real and half-virtual blue scissors that were almost as tall as Li En.

"Don't worry Gwen, this guy can't hurt me."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Li En, you are much stronger than me."

Gwen suddenly realized and immediately put the scissors on her shoulder.

"Li En, is this guy a ghost? Why does he look so strange to me?"

“I don’t know exactly what it is, but it probably has nothing to do with the Shadow Isles.

Gwen, please don't do anything yet, let me try to communicate with him."

"Good job being Lee En."

Li En nodded, then turned to look at Pike, whose body was becoming ethereal and swimming around them like a fish.

"I know you, Harpooner Pike."

"Gulu~!"

When Li En called out this name, Pike's swimming body suddenly stopped, and a hint of doubt flashed in his dark blue eyes.

"There's no need to hide. Your current state is clearly visible to me."

Looking at Li En who was looking straight at him, Pike subconsciously swam a few meters to the right, and the other party's eyes followed him synchronously.

"Wow~!"

With a sound like a fish leaping out of water, Pike's figure emerged from the air, looking at Li En and the others vigilantly.

"Who are you!?"

"My name is Li En, as for my identity..."

As Li En spoke, he revealed a little bit of the power of the Snake Mother.

"As you can see, I am the one chosen by the Snake Mother herself."

"Shua~!"

The serrated dagger was thrown out, and Pike caught it accurately and quickly put it back on his waist.

Seeing this, Li En smiled gently.

"I have noticed your targets: profiteers, killers, and scoundrels.

Snake Mother, Pike, are you interested in cooperating with me to make you more efficient?"

Vaguely aware of Li En's strength, and then listening to the person chosen by the Snake Mother speaking in the name of the Snake Mother, Pike couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"Tell me... Li... En..."

“I believe you have seen the recent changes in Big Harbor. Sarah, who killed the Pirate King Gangplank, is mine.

She and I both have one goal, which is to completely put an end to the evil in this city and make Bilgewater no longer known as a pirate city."

"Haha~! That's a good ideal. Maybe you can really do it... But, what does it have to do with me?"

"It's simple. You can deal with the guys who block your way."

Li En raised his hand and motioned for Pike to continue listening.

"Aimless and random searching like yours will never kill the ones who actually exploit the sailors.

More importantly, your behavior is likely to disrupt our plans in the future!"

"Haha~! After saying so much, you still have to move..."

"Wow~!"

The resentment around Pike surged like waves, but he found that he couldn't even move, let alone hide his body.

"This is..."

"Just some snake tentacles to prevent you from escaping."

Li En walked over and stood one meter away from Pike.

"If you still want to give up, you can try to summon the 'Zhuo' fish that swallowed you and see if it will respond to you."

"you..."

Although he didn't want to do what Lee En said, Pike still subconsciously called out to the 'Zhuo' fish. Unfortunately, the result was exactly as Lee En said.

"Om~!"

A dark blue scroll appeared in front of Pike, with lines of words written on it. At the same time, he suddenly felt that his right hand could move freely.

“Sign it Parker, you are not alone.

In order to achieve the goal, all extraordinary beings in Bigang that have nothing to do with the Snake Mother will sign this regulation and be included in the management. "

Staring into Li En's dark eyes, Pike felt a pressure heavier than the boundless deep ocean.
