Sealand City.
Ten years passed in an instant, and Jenny has grown into a young and energetic girl with golden curly hair.
She likes this city very much.
Although the apartment I live in is dilapidated and small, and occasionally I have to listen to the complaints and rants of the tenants next door, but I can buy many things that are not available in the township.
Father Wick became a watchmaker, earning a little more than he did in the country.
And, weekly worship at the Church of Mother Nature - a true cathedral!
Monday morning.
With a sandwich in her mouth, she hurried out at Mrs. Hailia's urging to help her father's repair shop.
Thankfully, women in cities are free to walk the streets and look for work without so many constraints.
Although, this is regarded as an 'inferior person', a lady of the real upper class, but she never shows up in public, but Jenny doesn't care about this, she is a wild girl from the countryside.
'But I don't want to work in a textile factory, at least I want to be a craftsman, the income is high...'
Jenny quickly finished her share of sandwiches, holding a paper bag in her hand, which was father Wick's share.
The other party slept in the store directly because of working overtime last night.
When passing by the dock area, Jenny glanced at it and was immediately stunned.
In the Docklands, near Haye Street near the warehouse, a line of sheriffs cordoned off the area, and several priests of Mother Nature with green leaves embroidered on their robes wandered about.
"What happened?"
With this question in mind, she walked into a repair shop.
There are many hanging clocks of different styles on the wall, and Wick has a pair of monocle hanging on the bridge of his nose, and is carefully taking apart a silver chain pocket watch.
"Father... what happened to Haiye Street?"
Jenny put the sandwiches on the table and started changing into work clothes.
"I heard that there was a problem with a transport ship from the Eastern Continent. A wild animal ran out and injured people..."
Wick answered without looking up.
"Are there any sports animals on the transport ship of the Eastern Continent? This is really a huge expense..." Jenny's eyes lit up: "Maybe it is an order from the circus? They plan to exhibit the special animals of the Eastern Continent? Very good!"
Well, another reason why she likes the city is that the spiritual life here is extremely rich.
Opera House, Circus, and various restaurants and shops.
As long as your wallet is big enough, you can go from the street to the end of the street and buy a lot of things you like.
This is how Jenny's pocket money disappeared into various consumption traps.
"Who knows..."
Wick muttered, "Should it be a lion? Or a tiger?"
"I hope it's a monster from the Eastern Continent..." Jenny opened the toolbox and started working as well.
Living in a big city, a day without work, heavy rent, and food pressure can make a person have nightmares.
It's like a whip, whipping people to work.
It's just that it is invisible and easier to accept than the whip of slave owners in the old days.
…
night.
"Father, I'm going back first!"
Jenny, who made an appointment with her best friend to watch a musical, ran out first.
"Oh... damn girl!"
Wick didn't have time to call out from behind, so he could only sigh: "I know how to play all day long, be careful on the road..."
Jenny didn't hear the second half of the sentence, and the little leather shoes were galloping happily on the road.
The sky gradually dimmed down, but I could still barely recognize my way.
Besides, the light coming from the shop windows on both sides also has a slightly warm taste.
Just as she was turning a dark alley, Jenny suddenly stopped and shivered.
She felt an icy chill coming from the darkness.
On the road ahead, there seemed to be a hazy black shadow standing.
"Sir...you..."
She stood on tiptoe, trying to get around him.
But just as she was about to pass through, the distance got closer, allowing her to see the other person's face clearly.
Distorted facial features, a split mouth, and dense shark-like teeth, disgusting liquid dripping from the mouth, and blue-black scales all over the body...
Jenny suddenly understood that this was not a 'person' at all, but a 'monster'!
At this time, it seemed to be holding a corpse that had lost its head in its arms, and it was eating quickly.
"Sorry for disturbing you… "
Jenny turned around numbly, and ran wildly without saying a word.
As long as you run this distance and turn a corner, there is a store open a hundred meters away.
The next moment, she heard heavy footsteps behind her.
Jenny didn't even have to turn her head to imagine that the monster gave up the 'food' in its mouth and started to chase her.
'No... it's too fast. '
After just a few steps, she seemed to smell the fishy smell coming from behind, and her body trembled.
'Are you going to die? '
Jenny felt the breath of death coming, and everything around her seemed to slow down.
Scenes of memories in her mind quickly appeared before her eyes.
Unfortunately, her body also slowed down.
'No... I don't want to die... I'm not reconciled! '
For some reason, a huge sense of unwillingness emerged from her heart.
call out!
At this moment, a ray of black light flew towards the face, hitting the monster behind him.
"Walk!"
Jenny saw a figure galloping over.
The other party was wearing a gray overcoat, and his hat was pulled down so that his face was hidden.
'Just now was that... a flying knife? '
Her thinking was a little stagnant, but she was still pulled by the other party and drilled into an alley.
"Found the murloc!"
"In the name of Mother Nature, purify!"
Not long after, faint exclamations and roars came from behind.
Boom!
The explosion sounded suddenly, shocking Jenny, she came to her senses, and began to struggle: "Let me go... who are you?"
"It should be safe here..."
Sulu turned around and smiled: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Turing, and I'm a scholar! I just saved you just now... After all, even if the monster didn't catch up with you, the 'guardian' who was taught 'We bumped into it, and you will feel better... "
"Scholar... Turing?"
Panting for breath, Jenny found that she had followed the other party to a beach.
The waves at night were rough, beating against the shore, bringing cold air: "There are still monsters, Guardians... what the hell is going on?"
"Specifically, do you believe in the existence of extraordinary people? Tonight, you just encountered an abnormal event..."
Sulu shrugged his shoulders: "And...is this your attitude towards your savior? Huh?"
Jenny's face flushed, and then she felt that her attitude was a bit wrong, and lowered her voice: "Sorry... and... thank you!"
