Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 790 Eighty One. Whale

  Plissey's team workers held torches close to the shore, and the deep cliffs had been replaced by rippling sea water.

  Rising tide turns Cape Storm from a reef area to a deep water harbour.

  The stranded wooden boat was lifted into the water and loaded with cargo.

  The boats that stay outside the bay are like fireflies, heading for the stormy angle of high tide.

  Many ships docked on the shore, and merchants traveling to and from the ice-free port of Wiener and the surrounding islands would buy convoy cargo and send it elsewhere for profit.

   There are also some ferry boats coming. Most of them are local residents, and they are paid to pick up passengers who are going to the ice-free port of Wiener or elsewhere to pick up the "port island".

   Two men paid four shillings, and Lu Li they boarded the wooden boat.

   Mothers holding children, couples, hunters, and wooden boats filled up quickly. Because of the night, other passengers did not recognize Lu Li.

   The boatman lifts the oars and pushes the wooden boat away from the shore, sliding towards the "harbour island".

  The water reflects the light of the twisted and broken reflections. Looking around, there are many firefly-like spots in the night sky on the edge of the bay moving towards the storm corner.

   Storm Point is more lively at night than during the day.

   Harbor Island is on the outer ring of the inner circle of Cape Storm - it has bridges, but is on the outermost perimeter of the core group of pillars.

  The gods have sheltered this bay, and the strange fog and the existence of the sea cannot step into it.

   "See the brightest island? That's where the church is."

  Mother introduces Storm Corner to curious children.

  The child clumsily closed his eyes and prayed, and his actions led his mother and some passengers to thank the gods for their protection of people.

  Puseus looked at these with admiration, he wanted to try too, but knew that doing so as a weird self would cause trouble.

After    half an hour of calm sailing, they landed on Harbour Island.

  There is no other building except for the ticket houses of various shipping companies. Most of them are stone pillars in the open space.

   And then a long wait.

  The ships have to load their cargo before they come to the port island to accept passengers.

  Strictly speaking, passengers are not the main business of these shipping companies. This is more like an unspoken rule between ships: the crew members make money by transporting passengers, and the upper management of the company turns a blind eye.

   This is more of a labor conflict: pay the crew less, but allow them to earn extra money.

   At this point, the Wiener Freezing Port has indeed recast the old "glory".

   As time went on, more and more passengers landed on the port island, and gradually gathered hundreds of people.

  Some wooden boats take local hawkers selling food to the island.

  Boiled monster meat, oily fish cakes, hot water with white mist, these things really make one's stomach growl on a cold and humid night.

   The hawker soon came to Lu Li with the scent.

  Lu Li didn't want anything, they brought food.

   The hawker who was about to leave in disappointment saw the expensive cans that Katerina took out of the suitcase, and his eyes lit up: "Do you need purified water? Clean and odorless purified water."

   Purified water, that is, distilled water.

   Although distilled water is still polluted.

   "It can be ranked third in the Terminus Association standard!" The hawker who saw their hesitation said quickly.

The   Terminas Association, located in the Freeze Port of Wiener, sets standards for various food brands.

   Level 3 is the lowest, but much better than many water that can't even get in by the standard.

  Lu Li bought some distilled water to fill their water bladders.

   Several more hawkers came one after another, but they came a little late, and the aroma of the food had already filled the sky over the port island.

   In the sound of small conversations around, passengers waited for the arrival of distant ships.

   "Mom, it's shining there, is it a star..."

   A little girl asked her mother not far away.

   Lu Li, who was quietly eating the cold minced meat in the can, raised his eyes and saw that it was a stone pillar, shining like a star for some reason.

   Not too long ago, a panicked figure ran into the crowd in the open space, pointed to the fear behind him and shouted: "The bridge is broken!"

   Panic spread through the crowd, and some people ran to the bridge to confirm that they had indeed been torn off from the other side and were floating on the sea.

   It is not just the port island that is broken by bridges. Many bridges in the core of Cape Storm are broken, and the stone pillars have turned into isolated islands.

"what happened!"

"what happened……"

"Mother--"

  The panicked crowd crowded in front of the ticket hut, and the locals inside were relatively calm, telling them that the flashing lights represented an invasion.

   A curse appeared on that island.

  He kept people calm, the curse wouldn't affect it after the bridge was broken.

   Knowing that the bridge is broken is a kind of protection, the panicked crowd quieted down a lot.

   "Do gods care about this?"

   Back in the open space, Lu Li asked Katerina.

   "They can't detect it." Katarina shook her head and said, "Some pollutants are difficult to detect. For example, items carrying the curse of pollution, or ignorant people infected with the curse."

  It is impossible for towns to completely block the weirdness, even the most hostile Weiner Freeze Harbor.

   To a certain extent, congeners are also a type of pollutants, but they are less harmful.

The appearance of the    curse caused some trouble for these passengers.

  The ships loaded their cargo, but did not come to the port island to receive passengers as they used to.

  Katerina went to the ticket house to ask for news and brought back bad news.

   "No ship is willing to carry us."

   "Why." Lu Li asked.

   "The outbreak of infection scares them."

  If the infection is brought to the ship and it is not just them, it may also cause the cargo ship to no longer be able to do business in the ice-free port of Wiener.

   Without a source of income, their families would starve to death.

   "Not even more money?" Lu Li asked.

   "The problem is we can't reach the boat."

  Lu Li remembered something and asked if there were any ships from the Fourteen Shipping Company.

   Katerina went to ask, unfortunately, the shipping company belonging to Lu Li is not here

  Lili looked around, there was some sea breeze on the port island, but if there was no rain, you could barely rest for a night.

   Is it only possible to leave tomorrow?

When    was thinking, heavier than any ship, distant and deep, the sound of a whale-like ship sounded from the darkness.

   The sound of the ship sounded familiar to Lu Li, and he quietly looked out of the bay.

   A huge silhouette slowly appeared on the edge of the dark, and the first person to see it screamed to stay away, and panic spread like a plague.

  Only Lu Li and the daring Katerina Pusius stood where they were.

  Lu Li raised his eyes, and the rusted giant ship docked at the edge of the port island, as if it made a low noise in response.

   It came to pick itself up.

   "What... what..."

  Puseus tucked his tail on his back, and was about to expose his belly in fear.

   "A whale." The things in the past are always memorable, and even Lu Li's expression seemed to be much softer: "Do you still want to follow?"

   "When, of course..." Pusius stammered.

   "Are you really going to climb it? Climb a..."

   The sudden change made Katarina unable to think coherently.

"Um."

  Lu Li nodded lightly and stepped on the back of the "whale", as well as Katerina and Pusius who were hesitant to keep up.

   The sound of the ship, which seemed to become brisk, penetrated the night sky, and everyone watched in shock as the giant ship sailed into the surging darkness.
