Mermaid Reef

Governor's Palace, three-story terrace on the side of the building.

It was originally a place for noble ladies and ladies to rest and look out, surrounded by tall palm trees and parasols made of canvas.

The time stopped at [-]:[-] in the morning. The nobles were either hungover or eating breakfast in bed, so there were only a few servants cleaning the terrace.

.

Gemil was playing with the coconuts on the table boredly.

This thing is like a ball, heavy, and the shell is hard enough.

As he played, Gemil's hands changed.

Under the tulle-like fins, the transparent and sharp nails left a few shallow scratches on the coconut shell.

"There's no need to think about what that human investigator said." Gemil leaned lazily on the chair.

What time order?The evil god will not abide by this kind of thing!

Even if history compiled the disaster into a book, and the investigators sent the timetable to the evil god, Gemil did not intend to abide by this inexplicable form, fill in the gaps in history, and make it a so-called perfect closed loop.

——Humans always believe that perfect logic means the end of things.

Oh, naive.

The nature of the world is chaotic and disorderly. How can there be such a thing as a closed loop?

Gemil took off his mask and smiled playfully.

Jason said worriedly: "What I care about is the hints hidden behind these disasters."

Because the degree of disasters and disasters in this city has exceeded the normal range, if it wasn't for him and Gemil, could it be Gray Butterfly and Gu Keluo?

Gemil rested his chin and watched Jason's every move with golden eyes:

"Really? I'm more curious why humans continue to live here?"

Fires, earthquakes, and plagues took turns and lasted for hundreds of years.

Until 1959, humans have not given up on this bay.

Is there no other suitable place to live on this island?Do you have to squat in this so-called "cursed" place?

Jason fell into deep thought when he heard Gemil's question.

"Don't think about it, wait for Juan to come back and ask him." Gamil said lazily.

Then he directly crushed the coconut, letting the white pulp residue and liquid flow down the back of his hand.

Feeling quite comfortable, Gemil turned his attention to the coconut stalls in the market below.

At the same time, he spotted Juan who was walking along the market looking for clues.

Juan is interested in anything, he wants to see everything, touch everything.

The progress of the investigation was very slow, but Gemil decided to keep silent after seeing his work posture that never missed a corner and the brightness that rose from time to time.

"He's fast."

Jason also noticed Juan. After discovering Gemil's hidden dissatisfaction, Jason thought for a few minutes, and finally found an advantage for Juan.

This is indeed the case, Juan is not in the habit of looking back and forth holding an object.

He seemed to know all the goods in the city, and the uses of all things.

Jason thought he understood human beings very well, but when he saw Juan, he found that he was still lacking in this aspect.

Most humans prefer gold coins, gems, or various human odorants (wine, tobacco, spices), and are attracted to things that look bright and shiny.Juan was different. He could squat in the corner to look at the sewer, and he could also stare at the wooden cart and beat it.

Pick up the soldier's shirt to see the badge, take out the tax collector's wallet to see the material...

Now holding a pirate's iron hook hand, I want to see how this thing is installed on the arm.

As a result, the pirate's coat fell off along with the hook hand.

Juan looked dumbfounded at this guy who didn't lack arms at all, and took off the pirate's blindfold.

Well, the eyes are not blind.

"puff."

Jason couldn't help laughing.

Juan seemed to sense something, and ran away.

"Curiosity is too serious. As a mystery investigator who is exposed to the real world, his chances of death are very high." Gemil said critically.

Jensen felt that what Gemil said made sense. He was about to nod his head when he paused suddenly and asked with a strange expression, "Why should you care about the future fate of a human being?"

Gemil: "..."

Oh yes!

The evil god just caught a human being to work, and when the task is completed, what does it matter if the human is dead or alive?

When did he get into this habit?

Oh, it's John.

When Gemil thought of detectives, he remembered that John almost witnessed the whole process of his acquaintance with Jason, which made this ant have a special meaning, and Jason felt that the ant was very useful, so he unconsciously felt that "the evil god does not want you to die" "Treatment.

And then Hans of Venice...

It's fun to watch the infighting of the Gray Order, and the rose pupils made by humans are very interesting.

Since glass can help humans see the real world, of course it can also allow Hans to temporarily leave this trouble and make a small thing. This is not difficult, and it also satisfies Gemil's curiosity about the Murano glass workshop.

It was just a pair of glasses, without the slightest power, and it was completely different from John's life-saving pearls.

As a result, Hans, who has amazing fighting power, relied on his knowledge of mysticism and this pair of glasses to achieve the astonishing achievement of being in contact with the mysteries all the time without being dragged into the abyss.

When it came to the third human investigator, Juan, Gemil found that he was automatically imagining Juan's future life.

Gemil crushed the broken coconut into pieces with a blank expression.

Juan in the distance felt his scalp tingling again, he glanced around vigilantly, and quickly changed his position.

Gamil's gaze stayed on Juan, and he said coldly, "I remembered something."

"what?"

"I haven't paid the white whale yet."

"What kind of reward does the white whale want? It's not human..."

Jason's voice stopped abruptly.

Using money to cut off the connection with human beings is a simple and easy-to-use method that he invented.

But when facing John and Hans, they not only gave money, but also other things.Remuneration is not only money, but anything that can be used can be counted.

But what kind of reward the white whale needs, Jason can't think of it at all.

You can't give a ton of fish, can you?

"We are in 1692, hundreds of years before the birth of the white whale, you can think about it slowly." Jason looked at Gemil and said.

In fact, there is no need for the evil god to pay, it's just that Jason has this habit.

Gemil decided to owe the debt.

Anyway, the white whale would not come to collect debts.

***

"It should be here..."

Juan was talking to himself.

He put his hand through the crack in the wall and watched the part above the wrist disappear.

He felt no pain, and his hand was fine when he took it out.

There was a gust of wind blowing against his forehead, which caught Juan's attention.

It is very strange that there is a flowing wind in the place where time stops. Juan immediately thought of the commission of the evil god. He could remember the distribution of streets and buildings after reading it, so he quickly found this abrupt wall gap.Because if there were such a big crack in the house, it would have been repaired long ago.Summer in the Caribbean is rainy and hurricane, this is the wall facing the sea breeze!

Juan found some boxes to step on.

He climbed to a high place and continued to search along the cracks in the wall.

Soon Juan discovered an invisible hole in midair, and the crack in the wall was just a continuation of this crack.

"call."

A smile appeared on Juan's face.

Although he cherishes the opportunity to observe Port Royal, it is too dangerous here. It is a good thing to complete the mission early and return to modern times

.

"Mr. Jason..."

Juan knew that the evil god would pay attention to him at all times, so he raised his arms and prepared to call someone.

At this moment, the light in front of his eyes dimmed, and the air became cold.

There was a strange sound in his ears, as if his own flesh and blood were being chewed cruelly.

The sharp pain in his brain then reminded Juan that his spirit might be the one being chewed, and countless distorted visions rushed into his memory, laughing loudly with every familiar face he knew.

These phantoms laughed and laughed, their faces suddenly slumped like dried mud, cracks appeared one after another, and deformed eyeballs and sharp teeth were exposed from inside.

—they surrounded Juan, arms outstretched, as if to devour him.

Juan didn't run away, nor did he swing his weapon indiscriminately. He struggled to pick up his backpack and put it on his head, and then panted heavily inside.

This choice is very correct.

Because panic can make people hyperventilate and quickly fall into a state of drunken oxygen, which further increases the burden on the brain and falls into a faint.

Juan's head hurt more and more. He realized that he might have met Jansen's enemy, and he didn't dare to lift the backpack covering his head. Climb down with the box.

Above him, the magic carpet Gu Keluo accelerated the frequency of his body rolling and flapping.

The vision Juan saw was even more terrifying.

Dr. Mara turned into a five-legged monster, black Nick's face was full of eyeballs, and Juan's relatives and friends... They were crying in pain, waving their limbs indiscriminately as if calling for help or crying, ordinary Human beings simply cannot resist this voice, nor can they face such horrific phantoms soberly.

What about Juan?

Juan climbed very steadily.

If it weren't for the headache, he could move a little faster.

Magic carpet:"……"

Jensen and Gemil who had already arrived at the scene: "..."

"You guys are really lucky, you found a tough ant." Gu Keluo said in a cold voice.

This time it was the language of the evil god, Juan couldn't hold it anymore, he rolled to the ground with his head in his arms.

"I know you put something on him to make him return to the original time and space." The magic carpet sneered, and the black mist it fanned completely wrapped around Juan, and it was gradually increasing its weight.

Jason took a step forward and stopped.

Gu Keluo smiled and said: "Very well, you have completely seen my intention. I want to throw this human being into the crack, and then follow him back to the original time and space... This is not difficult for me, I just I can't locate the time, and I am bound by the time here, as long as I get out of here, I can use my talent to find the right way... I should thank you for helping me find such a good guide."

Jason glanced at Juan who was trembling all over, and said blankly: "Do you think this will succeed?"

The magic carpet rolled up Juan with black mist, and it was about to be stuffed into the crack.

At this moment, Juan's figure twisted and disappeared in place.

Gu Keluo grabbed an empty space and roared angrily.

The strangely colored pattern on the back of the magic carpet suddenly pointed at Jensen, forming opened eyes one by one, staring at Jensen and asking, "What did you do?"

Jason was afraid of the ancient gods in his heart, but here, he didn't have to be afraid of Gu Keluo, whose strength was limited, and he could even look directly at the angry ancient gods.

"Why are you angry?" Jason looked calm, spread his hands and said, "Didn't you say, thank you for this tough ant?"

Magic carpet:"……"

Gemir crossed his arms, with a happy arc on his lips: "You are worried about killing this fragile human, so you borrowed the illusion of the gray butterfly to drive this human into the crack, but he showed strong resistance. It was not affected by the illusion, so you increased your strength and talked beside him... Ha, you think he can resist, right?"

Actually can't.

Juan is only excellent in resistance to illusions, he was trained in a dream.

What's the scariest dream Hans could come up with?Gemil and Jason knew it, it was the London smog incident!

gray butterfly?phantom?

After experiencing a dream where he could die countless times, Juan is afraid of this scene?

But Gu Keluo mistakenly thought that Juan was that kind of tough ant, but Juan couldn't deal with the evil forces other than illusions!After persisting for less than half a minute, the "life-threatening" protection barrier was triggered, and he returned to 1959 in place.

There is simply no chance for the coca rossers to get into the cracks.

"Really? I still have a way to completely destroy this time rift."

The magic carpet roared angrily, "Since I can't go, you all get lost with me!"

Gu Keluo slammed into the edge of the annihilation rift in midair, causing the rift to expand again. Jansen hurriedly released his power, but was a step too late.

The ground shook slightly.

First it was sand, then roof rubble, and finally trees shaking wildly.

The world is like a thin piece of paper, first being crumpled vigorously, and then bit by bit swallowed by that terrifying dark crack.
