Mermaid Reef

There was a faint stench in the wind.

Jason frowned slightly.

He can see far away and can tell where the smell is coming from.

——Monte Sea is changing, poisonous gas is slowly overflowing from the strata and merging into the seawater.

Human beings cannot see these shaking yellow smoke columns, nor are they aware of the approaching crisis.

But in Jason's eyes, the city has fallen into chaos.

Insects were scurrying about, and there was a slight rustling in the bushes.

Seabirds flew around the pier, attracting the surprised eyes of fishermen and porters.

The rats jumped out of their nests like crazy, climbed over the fence, and ran wildly on the drainpipes or the roof. Their gray hair was still covered with dirty sewer residues, which made passers-by who accidentally saw this scene scream in horror. Shouting, and then frantically picking up things and chasing after them.

Jason's eyes flicked over the buildings in the city, watching human beings moving in the sophisticated ant nests they built themselves, soaked in various odorants.

Foaming beer in a tavern, a family dinner in a house, a cigar in a businessman's hand...

Jason suddenly saw something shiny.

He turned his head and saw a man carrying a suitcase frantically searching for things, and then desperately stuffed medicine into his mouth.

...The brilliance of willpower gradually dimmed under the influence of drugs.

Jason knew that humans had invented drugs decades ago to treat various manic diseases, but at the same time, drugs would also shut down human senses, making them dull and lethargic.

Those who have been in contact with the mysterious for a long time will inevitably suffer from nightmares and hallucinations, and the effect of drugs can just relieve them from such pain.

The disadvantage is that overdose of drugs will destroy their bodies and wills.

For people who have returned to an "easy" life with the help of drugs, it is often difficult for them to resist the temptation to increase the dose to maintain sanity should they encounter mysterious events again.

Sometimes this slow suicide choice is even correct, because not having a good rest means not having enough energy to solve troubles and deal with crises... Taking medicine will not kill you immediately, and if you don't escape the area where the mysterious incident happened in time, Definitely die.

Jason thought, the human being in front of him with weakened spirit and will might be thinking like this!

After all, these invisible smokes sometimes cling to certain objects and show their existence in front of human beings with excellent inspiration values, and human beings will interpret this illusion as various familiar things and feel strong emotions from it. fear.

run.

The sooner the better, disaster is about to happen here, Jason thought.

He disappeared from the top of the lamppost and appeared on the jetty of the harbor.

The crowd automatically parted in front of Jason, they didn't see this strangely dressed man.

The cats and dogs in the city began to bark and bark.

A tall black retriever broke its chain and ran frantically across the pier, knocking over boxes and tearing at people and goods that got in its way.

There were bursts of screams and screams from the crowd, and several dock workers grabbed sticks and chased after the mad dog.

But while running, they felt dizzy for a while, and double images appeared in front of their eyes.

"I didn't drink?"

"Stupid pig, it's an earthquake!"

Chaos at the port.

Crates stacked together and weighing more than half a ton were seen shaking from side to side.

Some people couldn't stand and fell, but before they got up, others stepped on it.

At this time, people's minds were blank, and they could not think of any way, only the consciousness of "escape".

They couldn't even figure out where to run, and followed the direction of the crowd in a daze.

"boom."

A man felt that he had hit a wall. He quickly grabbed the iron railing of the port, but the force of the crowd from behind still "patted" him to the side and squeezed him into the sea.

He hugged the pillar in horror and wanted to climb up, but also wondered what he had bumped into just now, when he looked up, he saw Jason.

Dark hair, ancient clothing, pale complexion and handsome face, and this strange and inexplicable temperament...

"..."

The man sank directly into the sea, and he swam a distance with his hands and feet before he dared to go ashore.

More and more people have discovered Jason.

But the threat of the earthquake was still there, and they had no strength or energy to think about the problem, but the appearance of this "person" was deeply imprinted in their minds.

When the shaking of the ground stopped and the chaos subsided, they still remembered the strange man.

Who is that person and why did he suddenly appear?

Why is there still a gap of about one meter around this person in that chaotic stampede situation, as if no one can get close?

"...I saw the messenger of the god of death, the knight who proclaimed the doomsday judgment!"

An old man with dirty clothes raised his hands and shouted in the street.

Soon he was dragged away by the port guard.

Half drunk, the workers from the tavern were forced to work overtime, cursing and sorting out the messy goods.

"Damn the earthquake, I dropped the wine bottle on my table, and I still haven't finished half of the bottle!"

"Okay, luckily we're in the tavern...Look at the blood on the ground."

The worker silently looked at the wounded who was being carried to the side and howling and moaning. There were two other people lying there upright, their faces already covered with white cloth.

"God bless them."

Several workers made a sign of the cross on their chests, bent down and prepared to continue working.

At this time, the ground shook again. One guy was so unlucky that he hit the crate with his head, and blood flowed out immediately.

The panic caused by the second earthquake was even more exaggerated. Those who were crying and working silently were like fish thrown into a frying pan. After a few steps, he fell back to the original place.

There were cracks in the building, and the weak places collapsed directly.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Soon everything calmed down again. People lay down on the ground, feeling the powerful beating sound inside their chests, and realized that they had survived. They immediately got up crying and laughing and ran home.

At this time, the sunset completely disappeared on the horizon, and the earthquake caused a power outage throughout the city, which also declared that the city was completely in chaos.

The first to be smashed were stores run by the Americans, and then the shipping warehouses of the British.

The night was illuminated by fire, and the flames burned with blood.

Jason sat on the roof opposite the hotel with a solemn expression, but turned a blind eye to the tragic scenes in front of him, as if he was thinking about other issues.

The night obscured his figure until Gemil appeared silently behind him.

The shadow landed on Jensen's shoulders like flowing water, and completely rolled Jensen into the embrace of darkness.

The evil god whispers in the dark,

"...is this here?"

"Humans frequently use ghost radio here, but there are no traces of mutated creatures, but it feels very weird... very similar to Mount Arabiaka."

Jensen stretched out the vine and pointed to the south, and Gemil's eyes immediately appeared a series of light-colored veins extending in all directions.

"Using the mine tunnels dug by humans as a cover?"

"Yes, there are a lot of ores here, which humans find very useful."

Jason said casually, and pasted a topographic map with his bare hands.

Some of these mining areas are thousands of meters apart, and humans are not that powerful, allowing them to communicate with each other, but the scene that appears in front of the evil god at this moment is a huge underground passage system.

This is much more exaggerated than the scale of the Arabiaca Mountains.

Jensen can only "depict" the "channels" on the upper floor, he doesn't know what's going on below.

Nor would he venture to investigate the situation.

——Typhon hasn’t responded yet, but what Bechymos suspects is an ancient god, and Jason won’t make any moves until Gemil arrives.

"What's that red dot you marked on this map?" Gemil asked.

"The location where the ghost radio station appeared."

During this time, Jason left the radio station on the lighthouse on Quicksand Island, and came out to find "connection" by himself.

Jansen was forced to "get to know" the secret agencies of various countries, as well as the "wandering" family members of many evil gods, and by the way, admired the deformed creatures in various directions of mutation.

"This is the 'Anomalous Phenomena Investigation Bureau' of the United States. They have captured many mutated creatures and killed several dependents...Only in this place, they have used the ghost radio many times, but still have nothing." Jason Pausing for a second, he seemed to think that this matter was absurd and coincidental, so his tone had an inexplicable meaning, "Humans seem to think that this is a treasure worthy of in-depth research, and they are very interested. Not only are they stationed here, And more weapons were brought in."

Because the action is too big, it is not only the Americans who control Chile, but also the British.

When the transportation of copper ore stopped, the eyes of other European countries also gathered here.

"...Now there are people from seven or eight countries. It seems that the secret agencies of all the human countries I have seen during this time are here." Jason felt that this incident was full of irony.

Human beings guessed right, there is a secret here, and indeed there is a big fish. (Note)

But this secret, involving the end of the earth, hits the event that the evil gods are investigating.

The correction is the truth that Typhon's family, Jason, and Gemil's family are investigating.

That's right, these days, mysterious events are so complicated that they need evil gods to be investigators!

This is not over yet, Jason, who loves human games, was surprised to find that the official investigation organizations formed all over the world gathered in this country... If you add Typhon, who will arrive here soon after receiving the news from Jason, The evil god of Typhon's family, this place is too lively.

It was so lively that Jason felt that the tentacles of the vines were numb.

"It stands to reason that there shouldn't be any smell of the evil god's territory here. The guy we want to catch... is well hidden and well." Jason asked, pointing to the stench that permeated around Monte Sea, "But what is this? Do you feel it? That very slight, but slowly increasing power of the evil god?"

Gemil nodded: "That thing is going to come out from the depths of the ground, and he chose this sea area as the exit."

"It was Typhon who alarmed him?" Jason regretted in his heart.

It is clear that they have agreed to divide labor and cooperate to investigate the truth. Could it be that Tyfeng can't act?

Gemil changed into a human form and sat beside Jason, looking at the seemingly calm sea water side by side.

"No, his movements are very slow, and it seems that he doesn't want to attract the attention of his peers... If he really finds himself exposed, what is there to cover up? Just rush out!" Gemil estimated the time, "Probably He won't come out until this time tomorrow, maybe we can give him a surprise."

Jason looked sideways at the pale and trembling reporter David in the hotel.

There are only 24 hours left for humans to escape.
