Harry Potter: I Am a Legend

Chapter 23: , Stowaway

Four hours ago.

North Atlantic.

The waters of the Hebrides.

This is the northernmost archipelago in Scotland and one of the most desolate seas in the world.

There are surging waves, empty sandy beaches, and dangerous cliffs. There is no man’s land on all sides.

The nearest city is Drumberg, more than a hundred kilometers away.

That city was a prison used to exile prisoners during the time of King Arthur, and it was occupied by the famous pirate Drake in the time of Discovery, and it became his lair to escape from hunting. In the period of George I, it became a hoard of slaves. Port of tax evasion.

But now, with the disappearance of the pirates, the slave trade is abolished. There is only a small town with few people left there, a town with a hundred people relying on fishing for their livelihoods.

Apart from flying birds and herrings, almost no other species are willing to visit this area.

But now, in this cliff-filled sea, an old diesel fishing boat is swiftly breaking through the waves.

There are a total of four people on the boat.

The man who sailed the fishing boat was named Teri. He was a typical Caucasian race with a big nose, thin lips and a big beard.

He wore worn-out cowboys, knee-length rubber boots, thick hands and feet, and a gray fishing hat. Dressed up is no different from other fishermen catching herring in this area.

But he is not a fisherman, he was once, and he is not now.

Before he was 20 years old, Terry and his father were fishing at sea, but since he returned to his hometown after experiencing the life and death of World War I, he has never seen fishing as a stable job with no promise.

After fighting for more than 20 years in this sea area in his hometown, he now has a more oily job than fishing herring.

Smuggling.

Stowaway population.

The Hebrides Islands connect Scotland, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway.

Since the outbreak of World War I, the smugglers here have never stopped. Thanks to the desolate environment here, from time to time there will be foreign wanderers who try to use Scotland as a landing point, and then travel from here to the British Empire, hoping to find a job in England, which has a stable environment.

But Terry knew that most of those were unrealistic fantasies. After layers of exploitation, most of those stowaways have ended up in a strange land.

For more than 20 years, Terry has seen all kinds of guests, but this time the guests...

He is truly unprecedented.

Through the rearview mirror blurred by the sea, he could see three weird guys sitting upright on the deck behind him. They were sitting in exactly the same posture, and the sea breeze and waves on them were no different from slapped on the reef.

This kind of temperament is very familiar to Terry, and only military personnel have such a straight sitting posture.

But if they were soldiers, Terry felt strange. Because all three of them wore large robes, they couldn't see their appearance, and they wore pointed and high hoods on their heads.

That's not the tattered robe worn by smugglers. The robe was pure black and brand new. A strap with scales was strangled on it. Even in such a fierce sea breeze, there is no mess at all.

He had seen so many troops in World War I, but he had never seen any country's troops wear this way.

The only thing that can be identified is a red **** on the arm of each of them.

Which symbol Terry is a bit familiar with, I have often seen it when reading newspapers in the past two years, it seems to be a workers' organization in Germany.

But Terry was not sure, because the people in the newspapers weren't dressed like them.

Passing through a wave, the boat jolted violently.

"In which direction did your morning guest go?"

Suddenly, the front one of the three, who was also the tallest, suddenly asked.

He sat on the boat motionlessly, as if his **** had been welded to it.

"Uh..." Terry, who was thinking about it, was caught off guard. The three of them hadn't spoken since they got on the boat. He thought they could not speak English.

"What are you talking about?"

"I asked, in which direction did your morning guest go."

"Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about."

Terry pushed the problem back. Although he is a smuggler, smugglers also have rules. More than 40 years of life experience tells him that the smartest way to live is not to mix up any contradictions.

"Really? It seems that he gave you a lot of money."

The tall hooded man said softly, his voice seemed to have an inexplicable magnetism, which made people relax.

Terry's eyes, who was still vigilant just now, suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, did you mean that generous little guest? He did give me a lot of money."

Hooded man: "Which direction is he going?"

Terry: "He also went to Handa Island, along the River Tay to the south inland of Scotland. There was nothing there, and many people got lost when they entered, and they never came out again. I advise you not to enter. ......."

Snapped!

The fishing boat passed through a wave again, violently tossing, and the sea breeze blew, Taili's spirit recovered.

He felt like he had said a lot just now, but he couldn't remember what he said.

In the rearview mirror, the three people are still sitting like a rock. As before, the expression has not changed at all.

"Damn..."

Terry murmured, speeding up the fishing boat. He wanted to end this weird list quickly.

Fortunately, soon, the boat drove to the shore of the island. There are lichens and moss everywhere, the cliffs are mottled sedimentary rocks, there are jagged rocks, and the cliffs on the coast are covered with bird droppings.

On the shore, two sturdy men stood, smoking cigarettes and waving to the ship.

Seeing them, Terry was relieved. He is a prudent person and will not do things that are uncertain. The two are his own cousins, who are doing smuggling business with him. Is a very reliable partner.

Terry parked the boat, and one of his two cousins ​​came up to lay a rusty iron drill, and the other tied the cable to it.

Terry: "Just get down here. The total price is 45 pounds. I will give you a discount and count you 40 pounds. If you want to take a car, you can walk 30 kilometers east along the coast."

After speaking, he stood on the side of the boat with his hips akimbo, waiting for one of the three to come out and pay the bill. And his two cousins ​​also stood beside him to prevent any accidents from happening. After all, what they are doing is illegal business, and the guests they receive are mixed.

The three people on the boat stood up and asked the tall man in a soft voice, "Is that little guy getting off the boat here too?"

"Yes, don't ask, give the money quickly and leave. There are also marine police in this piece." Terry said anxiously.

Ignoring Terry's feelings of anxiety, the tall man turned his head and said indifferently: "ü." (check it)

The other two descended into the ship in silence, turned their heads to look around, and one of them took out a black stick to draw a circle.

See them in this painting. Terry squinted his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He slowly lifted up the semi-wet shirt, revealing the redwood revolver at his waist.

His two cousins ​​saw that Tai was not good-looking. After looking at each other, they put their hands in their pockets, where there were two thick knives.

Terry is a smuggler, a person with blood on his hands. He has also seen dangerous stowaways, murderers, robbers, thieves...but in 20 years, no one has ever taken advantage of them.

However, the scene that shocked Terry appeared.

The chest of the tall hooded man in front of him suddenly bulged, and then a shiny silver monkey head came out. It has long silver hair and huge eyes.

It crawled to the shoulders of the tall man with the hood in twos and threes, looked at Tyri with sympathetic eyes, then closed his eyes and shook his head in the air.

Terry had never seen this kind of monkey before, not at all.

His two cousins ​​were also completely dumbfounded.

The silver monkey suddenly opened his eyes and squeaked in a direction.

The hooded man nodded, and the other two men with black sticks immediately put away the black sticks.

The three of them walked in the direction pointed by the silver monkey, without any intention of stopping to pay the bill.

Terry was angry, and he pulled out the revolver from his waist. Pointing forward with a click.

"Hey, stop, what are you doing!"

His two cousins ​​snapped out the machete.

However, the three people walked in front of each other, with steady and firm steps, and they didn't mean to stop at all. The shout to him seemed unheard of.

Terry squeezed his hand on the trigger, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He was also a person who had participated in the war, and he did not shy away from killing.

However, at this moment, something suddenly fell down and landed on Terry's shoulder.

Terry thought it was a seabird in this area, but when he turned his head, he was immediately dumbfounded.

This is a creature he has never seen before.

It has a butterfly-like body, but it is as big as a falcon. It is green with purple **** protrusions on its fleshy wings. It has cold red eyes and thin hooks.

Terry was dumbfounded.

In the next second, the creature opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and purple letters.

It screamed, and it didn't give Terry time to react at all. Flying body leaped on Tai Li's face, and Tai Li, who had never seen such a battle at all, panicked. He hurriedly tore up, trying to tear off the monster attached to his face.

"Idiot, help!"

His two knife-wielding cousins ​​were also dumbfounded. They ignored the three weird men, hurriedly trying to help Terry pull the weird creature away.

The monster adhered extremely tightly, and the power of being an adult was useless. The monster opened its mouth narrow, and Xinzi pierced through Terry's head.

"Uhhh!!"

Terry exhaled miserably, he only felt that all his memories were moving away from him quickly, including his emotions and rationality.

The two cousins ​​were anxious and tore frantically.

But at this time, two more weird creatures fell from the sky and landed on the shoulders of two cousins ​​of Terry.

After the two looked at each other, they were instantly enveloped in great fear.

They couldn't take care of anything, and they ran wildly.

They didn't run far before they fell to the ground. One by one desperately struggled and convulsed.

On the other side, Terry didn't even remember what he called. In the end, he pulled the trigger crazily in despair.

boom!

boom!

boom!

.......

The smoke cleared, and after a few shots, the beach fell silent.

Terry fell on the beach, motionless. The same goes for his two cousins.

The green and purple fleshy wings hugged Terry's face. On the deserted beach, there was a toothy sucking sound, and half of its body got into the head of the man in front of it.

Finally, the sound of grinding teeth ended.

The green and purple creature pulled out his head and shook the blood on his body. He spread his wings and quickly caught up with the man who was walking in the distance.

Soon after, the other two also finished eating, got up and started chasing their owner.

Only three people were left lying down on the deserted beach, and each of their foreheads was drilled with a hole the size of a bowl, and the inside was empty.

After the high tide, the bodies of the three people were rolled by the sea, and rolled on the floodplain, disappearing without a trace.
