As night fell, Zhang Yangqing stepped into this port city shrouded in a strange atmosphere with steady steps.
The street lights on both sides of the street seem to be controlled by invisible forces. Sometimes they are as bright as day, illuminating the twisted shadows in front of them, and sometimes they suddenly go out, pulling everything back into deep darkness.
The contrast in the lighting is very uncomfortable to the eyes.
Even if there are no ghosts, you can still see some strange things.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m dazzled or if these things really exist.
Faced with this unusual location, Zhang Yangqing was naturally unwilling to stay any longer.
The four younger brothers behind him, led by the bearded man, also followed quickly and calmly.
Except for Zhang Yangqing, the four of them wore hoods, their faces hidden in the deep darkness.
The reason why Zhang Yangqing did this was not to show off his appearance, but to create a mysterious feeling.
Even if there are people nearby who are not easy to mess with, if they see this group of strange guys coming, they will probably not come up to contact them.
After all, Zhang Yangqing didn't have any strength this time. He would have nothing to fear in the deep sea, but here he was on land.
The bearded man has some strength, but he is still too ordinary in this world.
Not to mention compared with some big bosses in this world, even if the dark blue pupil area is long, he can be killed under normal circumstances.
This is also the main reason why the leader of the sun hat told the chosen ones to have nothing to do and not go out.
Low-keyly pass through the area where the salvage company is located. This is the more complex port area.
It is also a place where the weird atmosphere is concentrated.
Huge hanging towers stand in the night sky, their steel bodies casting long shadows in the dim light.
If you look carefully at the shadows, you feel that there is something wrong with the things these hanging towers are carrying late at night.
Below, there are mountains of containers.
While passing by the container, Zhang Yangqing could also hear some harsh scratching sounds coming from the container, as if there were living creatures inside, begging people outside to rescue them.
In addition, Zhang Yangqing also saw some porters. When they saw Zhang Yangqing and his group appearing, they all put down their work and stared at this side.
As the surrounding atmosphere became more and more uncomfortable, Zhang Yangqing felt that there might be rules here that were about to be triggered.
At this moment, the bearded man came over.
He was a porter before and knew the rules of porters.
“Follow me, this way.”
With that said, he took Zhang Yangqing around and into the container.
Here Zhang Yangqing did not rush to ask. After leaving the container area, the bearded man began to explain.
Never walk under the red container, otherwise the falling rule will be triggered.
If you're lucky, the fall won't be very heavy and it can kill you half.
If you are not lucky, you will be smashed into meat patties on the spot.
The bearded man had a colleague who was beaten to death before.
Because the colleague passed by a container covered with black cloth, he didn't know whether it was red inside.
So the bearded man chose a better route and did not trigger any weird events.
The reason why those porters were watching Zhang Yangqing and his group with caution was that they were afraid that Zhang Yangqing and his group would be weird and trigger strange events that would kill them.
“Normally, as long as a stranger enters the area where containers are moved, our salvagers will stop working.”
In fact, the bearded man also considered using this method to kill the regional chief, but the regional chief was very strong. As long as he was not in bad condition at the time, he could basically avoid it, and he had bodyguards around him.
Besides, why did I let the district chief come to this seemingly dangerous place at night? He is not stupid.
Should we tell the regional leader that there are many mermaids here?
Hearing this, Zhang Yangqing nodded. Sure enough, different professions have some things that others don't know.
The area where the regional chief lives is a villa on the hillside.
This place doesn't look that simple. First of all, the surrounding walls are covered with a layer of indescribable artistic graffiti. These patterns are twisted and grotesque.
It is neither the work of human art nor the miraculous workmanship of nature. Whenever a vehicle roars by, these graffiti seem to be given life, slowly starting to squirm and change, showing various creepy postures.
After the traffic went away, everything became calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps because she was worried about her mermaid princess staying with others, the dark blue-eyed regional leader took everyone inside when he left the house.
He must know the greed of human nature, what if someone else cheats his mermaid princess away after he leaves.
This is why Zhang Yangqing used the key to open the door and went in without encountering any obstruction.
Close the door, Zhang Yangqing waved his hand, and the four boys went to the villa to find the whereabouts of the mermaid princess.
Finally, the bearded man found a huge glass fish tank in the side hall, with a very beautiful mermaid in it.
Her skin is like the most delicate pearl, glowing with a soft and mysterious luster, which is even more crystal clear in the clear water waves.
Her long hair is like the most dazzling seaweed in the deep sea, its color gradually changes from dark blue to turquoise, swaying gently with the current.
It can be seen from the hair color that she is of the same species as the green-haired mermaid Zhang Yangqing met.
The mermaid princess has exquisite facial features, and there is a hint of sadness and nobility that is not easy to detect between her eyebrows.
Normal people will feel pity in their hearts at first sight.
The mermaid princess was very wary when she saw a stranger coming in. She was holding something like a scepter.
When Zhang Yangqing got close to her, he felt a very slow force around him.
Just like space resistance, the closer you get to the mermaid holding the scepter, the slower it becomes.
This Zhang Yangqing was not surprised. The green-haired mermaid had already explained it to him.
If the person holding the scepter does not want people to come close, that person can theoretically never touch her.
This is not the power of rules, just an artifact-level treasure.
So there is another solution. Once you have god-level power in this world, or power beyond the god-level, you are not restricted by the scepter.
Seeing Zhang Yangqing appear, the mermaid princess emerged from the water and anxiously asked Zhang Yangqing about her sweetheart.
It can be seen from the red and swollen eyes of the mermaid princess that she has cried just now.
If you are not determined, you may have fallen after seeing this scene.
Unfortunately, the mermaid princess met Zhang Yangqing. There was no woman she had not seen in Zhang Yangqing’s strange story.
Zhang Yangqing's current body is only at the level of an ordinary person, so he can only start to speak prepared words.
First, identify yourself as a salvage worker and be entrusted by the regional chief to salvage mermaids.
When she heard this, the mermaid princess sighed. It seemed that she and the regional director had a quarrel over this, so her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.
Then Zhang Yangqing continued to say that the sea tribe that attacked this time was very strong and could control powerful sea beasts to fight. They also used the reef to sink the luxurious ship where the regional chief was located.
The regional chief had to take a lifeboat and run to a nearby island to escape.
Those sea tribes and sea beasts couldn't get to the island, so they just surrounded it.
The regional chief couldn't come back at all, so Zhang Yangqing brought people over to move reinforcements.
That’s it. It doesn’t matter whether the mermaid princess goes or not. Zhang Yangqing said that he has done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
This approach can make the mermaid princess lower her guard.
Any bloody sea clan member here must have scolded the regional leader for bringing it upon himself, and has advised you so. You still have to go, you deserve to die.
But who makes the mermaid princess love-minded?
Even though the Dark Blue Eyes Regional Chief persecuted most of the clan members to death, some clan members were sold as commodities.
Even though she knew she was being used, she persuaded her sweetheart to stop.
But when her sweetheart is in danger, she still chooses to save her without hesitation.
Before coming, Zhang Yangqing already knew the result, but he still couldn't help complaining: one would do anything to achieve his goal, and the other would have no bottom line for the sake of his sweetheart.
You two are a perfect match!
