Mermaid Reef

Captain Brown Bear walked up the iceberg with heavy steps.

He took off his hat and saluted Jason.

Jason: "..."

Twelve years have passed.

The young and reckless Gray Cloak of the Order has become the middle-aged captain of an expedition team and the absolute leader of a group of investigators of mysterious forces.

Time plays the most obvious role in human beings.

Jason felt as if he saw the shadow of Andre the Gray Owl in Hans.

His eyes are sharp, his expression is determined, and he is very courageous.

Just now, Hans calmed down the panicked crew with a simple gesture—they believed that Hans could lead everyone out of the predicament. If Hans couldn't do it, the rest of them couldn't.

This is a trust entrusted with life.

Then Jason thought of the therapist who clumsily persuaded the child in the attic dream, and suddenly felt no surprise.

Isn't it strange that a glowing ant is noticed by its fellow ants?

only--

"I remember that your uncle wanted you to be an ordinary person, away from mystery and danger. He also ordered you to quit the church." Jason looked at Hans and said.

This nostalgic tone made the expressions of other crew members more "intense".

Just imagine, on a floating Arctic iceberg, there are two men who seem to have just come out of the opera house, what a strange picture it is?

—dressed too formally, like those who attended the upper-class social balls a few decades ago.

One of them wears a Venetian mask decorated with stained glass.

Any fool knows that they cannot be survivors of the submarines and fighter planes.

Normal humans wouldn't show up at the North Pole in this kind of clothing!

All members of the expedition team could swear with their broken amulets that the huge black shadow that appeared in the sea just now was the incarnation of the evil god, and then the black shadow disappeared. When they opened their eyes, they saw the two men standing in front of Captain Hans at the moment .

Isn't this the incarnation of the evil god, can it still be the dependent of the evil god?The dependents don't have such a perfect human form!

Now the question is, why did the captain "know" these two evil gods?Still look like an old friend reunited?

So weird!

Human beings are looking at evil gods, and evil gods are also looking at them.

Jason thought to himself, this is a boatload of glowing beads!

There are six people in total, with different brightness.

The person with the worst brightness is like coating a stone with a layer of transparent enamel. Say it’s glowing, but it doesn’t seem to be there.

The remaining four people are slightly better, at least they will not be treated as stones.

Far worse than Hans.

So Gemil glanced at it and lost interest.

Jason hesitated to speak.

Hans turned his head to look at his companions on the boat, and immediately understood what Jason wanted to say. He coughed in embarrassment: "Well, I told them... about what they look like in the real world."

Jason was relieved, which made sense.

No wonder these people stand together according to the intensity of the light!Judging from their standing posture and the distance from front to back, you can tell that it is a warning formation for encountering a strong enemy.

The higher the brightness, ah no, the higher the resistance to evil forces, the higher the position.

In Hans' eyes, Jason's expression subtly overlapped with the attic kid playing checkers.

Hans: "..."

He wiped his face with bear-like hands, and then began to explain that there was a terrible war in the human world 20 years ago, which affected many civilians.

"...Although my mother didn't die in the flames of war, there was a shortage of medicines and food shortages at the time. We worked hard to survive. The situation was chaotic. The people who left the sect with me were all lost in the end."

There was sadness in Hans' voice.

And a hint of hate.

"In the village where we were hiding, the evil god's family appeared, many people were killed, and my mother was among them."

Hans took off his glasses, made a weapon with the runes he had learned, set traps, and killed the monsters.

Because he can see the truth, see the monster's weaknesses, and stab those weaknesses in time.

At that time, half of Hans' body was corroded by the venom, but he survived in the end.

"I met my first partner, a child, in the monster's lair." Hans grinned and looked at the fishing boat behind him.

The thin young man feebly raised his hand in response.

Hans had a loud voice, so it wasn't just Jason who said what he said, but everyone else on the fishing boat could hear him.

"Oh, he was too young at the time, I couldn't leave him behind, and I was going back to Venice, but we encountered a group of new monsters on the way."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but say, "Wait, these glasses..."

"Yes, thank you very much, I know this pair of glasses can not only isolate the truth, but also prevent me from being mysteriously noticed." Hans bowed again, and then asked seriously, "Mr. May have never left the North Pole and don't know what's going on outside."

Jason: "...well, I'm sleeping."

At this time, Gemil came over.

Just now the white whale wanted to take the opportunity to slip away after "delivering the ship", but was "led" back by Gemil.

The white whale let out a cry of grievance, and its horn was held by Gemil in his hand.

Gemil ignored the unevenness of the edge of the iceberg, as if walking on flat ground, his right hand was slightly raised, and it looked like it was suspended above the sea. When the white whale was forced to release its invisible state, everyone discovered the "air" "Under the truth.

Crew: "..."

If you replace the corner with a rope, it is similar to walking a dog. If you try hard, you can ignore it.

Ignore the fart!

Is this a white whale?Why does it howl like a wolf?

Jason was also startled. He even touched the round head of the beluga whale to confirm that it was really a whale.

——The white whale heard the sound of a giant humpback whale made by the humanoid Gemil, and it was frightened and stupid, and it randomly played the arctic ecological sound effects again.

Gaimil stretched out his hand silently, and pushed the white whale back into the sea.

Well, the wolf howling is gone.

Jason: "..."

Hans looked at the white whale with subtle sympathy.

The conversation interrupted by the call of the white whale finally continued.

Hans' experience was complex, but also very simple.

As the war continued, there was chaos everywhere.The evil gods whose masters were still sleeping had been hiding all the time, but now that they had the chance, they would attack the living after getting tired of eating corpses, which made Hans's journey home extremely difficult.

Hans grew up in this way and met many partners.

Some of them stayed, some left, and some unfortunately died.

In the end, Hans finally returned to Venice. At that time, Andre the Gray Owl had passed away. The successor of the order didn't like Hans, the kind who was born to dislike him.So they didn't stay in Venice for too long, and embarked on a wandering journey again.

Having said that, Hans glanced at Gemil and Jensen with a complicated expression.

Hans, who is 46 years old this year, thought in the dead of night that if nothing happened to the Gray Order, the high-ranking members of the order would definitely be involved in this war because of their insatiable greed and wooing forces from other countries.The centuries-old background of the Gray Order is used to deal with mystery and evil. When the bombers come, those things are all useless.

So it's hard to say whether the catastrophe of the Norwegian sea monster destroyed the gray order and made it reborn, or detonated the crisis in advance so that it escaped greater misfortune.

Anyway, nothing happened to the Forest of Death, and Venice is still standing under the protection of the Gray Order.

"...At first I sent my companions back to their hometowns, but after I finished sending them, I found that there were still a few homeless people left, so we wandered around."

Hans put on his hat again, looked at Jansen's curious eyes, and said in a deep voice, "We are the most famous team in the mysterious field, accepting various employments, and sometimes helping those involved in the mysterious."

It was such a wonderful experience that Jensen wanted Hans to write an autobiography.

Unexpectedly, Hans coughed violently when he heard the word autobiography.

"That... I tried, no, I can't write it."

Hans looked embarrassed. He had read a lot of books, but it was a pity that they were classics on occultism, medical knowledge, and geography and navigation. He never went to school seriously, and he couldn't write at all.

"But John said he'd write it for me."

"You know John?" Jason was shocked.

Gemil also raised his head.

At this time, the two evil gods were completely unaware of how many humans named John existed on this planet. The main reason was that there was only one John in their hearts, and... the troublemaker Gu Keluo had been to London and seen Gray Butterfly.

The bead Jason Gemmel handed to John is still broken!

Does this not mean that a catastrophe has occurred in London?

"Yes, we met in London six years ago." Hans replied seriously.

This wandering team accepted a very difficult task, investigating the 1952 London smog incident.

"It was December 12th, and London had been engulfed in dense fog for forty hours. All traffic was paralyzed, and ordinary people could not see anything three feet away. The fog was yellow and gave off a foul smell. Many people wanted to He wanted to escape and ask for help, but he couldn't get out of the dense fog.

"All of Britain, no, all of Europe was alarmed.

"The British government doesn't know what happened, but anyone who knows the mystery feels that an evil god is awakening.

"The situation is too bad. The whole city has been slowly polluted by the power of evil gods and has become a nest of evil entrenched. It is the capital of a country with millions of people!"

Hans felt his mouth dry while talking, he licked his lips subconsciously, and then found a bottle of whiskey in front of him.

Hans: "..."

Jason looked down at the wine bottle that Gemil took out, and suddenly said: "Oh, we bought this on the Orient Express in 1930, it doesn't suit the taste, and it would be a waste to put it here, I'll give it to you No worries, it's 100% human odorant... I mean, human brewed, no contamination."

Looking at the two evil gods who were very interested and seemed to be moving a chair to sit and listen to the story, Hans silently took a sip from the bottle.

At this time, the expressions of the crew members were almost distorted, and they were shocked by the displacement of facial features.

"...Well, that's where I met John. He called himself John Doe. He was a retired detective. He had moved to the English seaside countryside. If it hadn't been for the catastrophe, he said he would never set foot again. One step into London. John knew the family of the evil god, and it was through his help that we made a detailed plan and finally drove the evil god out of London."

Hans' expression proved that he was remembering that perfect coordination.

"Mr. John Doe is excellent and wise."

Jason, Gemil: "..."

Think about the joint action between Detective John and Hans, one with brains and one with strength.

No, no, both investigators have strength and brains, but John doesn't understand occult runes and can't attack evil gods with weapons, and Hans doesn't understand Gray Butterfly, and he doesn't follow the religious order too much. Detective John is so jumpy, he can think of all kinds of tricks.

Hiss, what a pity.

didn't see it!

Jason couldn't help but gently pushed Gemil with the vine.

Gemil pretended not to notice.

"...But this matter has not been resolved perfectly. The evil god of London is a gray butterfly. We found that it attracted another evil god. Although we tried our best, the second evil god easily destroyed our organs and runes. He took away the injured gray butterfly."

Hans said with a heavy tone, "London was saved, but more than 4000 people died in London... There are still many people who were polluted and suffering. Over the past few years, almost all mystic scholars and secret orders from all over the world have gathered in London."
