Chapter 236 (1/2)
Located in the west of the mainland, t city is a small town with fewer citizens than other cities. Most of them are engaged in marine related occupations, such as fishing.
The fishery here is developed, and the number of fishermen accounts for 30% of the number of urban residents.
After King came from m City, he did not inform the local hero and went directly to the sea area where the accident occurred - silver beach.
The name of silver beach is that its fine silver sand glitters like silver sand everywhere under the light, so it is named silver beach.
Previously, it was also a place where fishermen gathered. However, since the strange events of continuous disappearance of fishermen, the busy silver beach in the past has become deserted, and the solitude here can not be dispelled in the hot sun.
”No one?”
King's mouth was slightly drawn. He originally intended to find those experienced old fishermen to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, the silver beach was empty.
Well, no, there seems to be another person.
He cast his eyes on the figure on a rock on the beach. The figure was bent, his clothes were simple, and he held a dry cigarette in his hand. The cigarette was misty and dispersed with the sea wind.
This is an old man. His old face is covered with wind and frost, and his dry palm is full of calluses. The whole person sits on the rock and looks at the sea with his vicissitudes of life. He doesn't move, like a dead dead dead wood. Only the floating cigarettes and swaying sea water prove that the world is not static.
”Uncle, is it convenient?”
King looked at the old man and asked politely.
”Nonsense. Who's convenient? I'm obviously thinking about life. How can you pollute people's innocence without reason? ”
The old man stared and yelled angrily. There was no lonely mood before.
”... cough.” King coughed, ”uncle, I have something to ask you.”
”The recent disappearance of fishermen?” The old man asked.
”... well, yes.”
Seeing that the other party guessed his intention, King simply opened the skylight and said frankly, ”uncle, do you know what's going on?”
”All fishermen know what's going on.” The old man said faintly.
”Huh?”
King looked at the old man puzzled.
”This is a legend about the sea.” The old man took a puff of dry tobacco and soon spit it out. The cigarette curled up. He said without delay: ”sea demon, the fisherman turns pale when he hears it. It is said that the sea demon has a humanoid appearance, but has a cold fish tail, and has a moving voice. He sings a soul-stirring tune in the ocean every day. Fishermen will lose themselves as long as they hear the song of sea demon, Then swallowed up by the ruthless sea. ”
”Oh, isn't this the setting of the previous western mermaid?” King was amazed.
”Can't you plug your ears?”
”Ha ha, the song of the sea demon seems to penetrate into the soul. It's no use blocking your ears. However, the sea demon generally lives in the deep sea and can't float on the Shanghai surface easily. I don't know what's going on recently. The sea demon often appears in the sea near the silver beach, implicating many fishermen to be buried in the sea.”
”Well, thank you for telling me.” King thanked the old man.
”You're welcome, young man. Are you a hero?” The old man's muddy eyes swept over King.
”Well, it should be!”
”Oh, uncle, I remind you that the sea demon is terrible. No one can stop its singing. Although you are a hero, don't be a hero in the face of helpless freaks. Only when you live can you have hope.”
The old man said leisurely, his eyes deep down.
”Ha, uncle, I've always been lucky. There's no problem.”
King comforted the old man.
”Yes.”
The old man nodded slightly, and immediately his eyes were frozen. He looked at the vast sea again. The lonely old man came back again.
”Freak.”
King looked at the eccentric old man, shook his head, turned and floated into the air, patrolling the nearby sea area.
……
WOW!
Unfortunately, in the sea area, a large amount of water splashed. A strange man with fish tail fluctuated on the sea. The strange man has a humanoid appearance, but his body is full of fish scales, which is very ugly and ferocious.
