Chapter 10 - Chapter 10. Determination

"The sea area where we are now belongs to the city of Bordeaux. There are frequent storms here, and many meteorological observation points have been set up in coastal areas."

"This place was transformed from a lighthouse many years ago."

Kant stopped what he was doing.

"I was assigned here two years ago. My previous observer was named Nick. He was an optimistic and fair guy."

"He is about to retire, so I will take over his job. Our job handover lasted about a month, but just the day before he left, a rare storm suddenly hit."

"I have been at sea for so many years, and I have never seen the sea so violent. It feels like it is expecting something."

"The torrential rain lasted for nearly a week, and we completely lost contact with the outside world. There were no phones, no boats, and it was just the two of us. Fortunately, the food left in the lighthouse was sufficient, and it was estimated that the two of us could eat for half a year. "

"But on the seventh day of the storm, those terrible monsters came up with the tide."

"The first time we saw those things, we were terrified, in a hurry, and even forgot the guns in our hands."

There was a trace of fear on Kant's face.

"That night, their roars echoed in our ears, and we waited until dawn before retreating into the sea."

"And that's when the nightmare began."

"In the following days, those monsters would rush ashore along with the storm. They seemed to want to destroy the light on the lighthouse, stacked together, and climbed up crazily."

"Me and Nick can only hold the guns in our hands."

Kant gestured for Roger to shoot.

"Bang bang bang!"

"One after another, shoot their heads off!"

"But there were too many of them, and Nick was old, and there was a problem with the direction he was guarding in the dark. He was torn from the chest by those monsters, and then ripped off the lighthouse."

Kant sighed.

"When I went out on the second day, I only saw a pool of blood in the gravel below. It didn't take long for the pool of blood to be washed away by the sea."

"The storm that lasted for nearly half a month finally subsided and the sky cleared up. I waited for three consecutive nights, but those monsters seemed to disappear and never appeared again."

"On the fifth day, the supply ship approached the island. He originally came to pick up Nick home, but now he can't even find a body."

"I recounted the incident in detail to the contact person on the ship."

There was a trace of fatigue on Kant's face.

"But everyone thought I was hallucinating. They told me that Nick should have slipped into the sea and died when the storm came."

"There are no monsters in this world."

"All of this is just my imagination. They even sent a psychological counselor to stay with me on the island for half a month."

"But nothing happened."

"At that time, even I thought I had a mental problem. One month after the counselor left, everything was normal, just when I thought my life was back on track..."

"On a stormy night, those monsters appeared again!"

Kant rubbed his rough face.

"Since no one believes it, it doesn't matter. One day I will kill the last monster, and then I will drag his body and tell everyone that I am right!"

Kant growled in a low voice with his face puffed up.

Roger just listened carefully, without making any sound during the period, but after listening to Kant's words, instead of solving the doubts in his heart, he became more anxious.

He wanted to speak several times, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them abruptly.

If he hadn't seen that scene at the beach that night, he might have believed Kant's words, but now, he only felt a chill down his spine, and even wanted to turn around and flee from the lighthouse.

But where else could he go? He was lucky last night. If there was one more monster that attacked him, Roger's body would probably be completely cold by now.

He has never been so eager to become strong like this moment.

"I've cleaned up the lower two floors of the lighthouse. The bottom floor is for you to live in, and the upper floor is our restaurant. You can stay here for a few nights."

Kant said to Roger.

"You can give me a gun, and I can help you guard the lighthouse at night."

Roger suggested.

Kant shook his head.

"There is only one gun left on the island, and the bullets are limited."

He looked at Roger.

"Little guy, take a good rest here. After these few days, when the supply ship docks, I will send you to a nearby town. You have been missing for so long, and your parents should be waiting anxiously."

"Parents?"

Roger pretended to be in pain. He hugged his head and murmured, "I can't remember. I don't remember anything except my name."

"Poor little guy."

Next, Kant briefly helped Roger treat the wound on his back, and then took him to visit the two floors below the lighthouse.

In fact, there is not much to see, the interior structure is simple, and there are not many decent furniture.

But this time, Roger didn't hear any strange sounds. After last night's battle and another night of guarding, he was exhausted.

After a little hesitation, Roger did not choose to rest in the lighthouse, but found an excuse and returned to his hut.

He dragged the corpses of the two Murlocs out and dug a shallow pit behind the woods. Under the current situation, the corpses would stink after a long time.

After cleaning the hut, the exhausted Roger lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Eight hours later, he'll be alive and well again.

At the same time, on the upper floor of the lighthouse, Kant unwrapped the key and opened one of the rooms. The room was filled with an unpleasant stench, and a humanoid creature was being bound in a crude iron cage.

"It's God's will. I didn't want to do this, but they turned out to be a month earlier than before."

"Did I miscalculate? There shouldn't have been an attack in the recent period."

Kant held his head.

"Can anyone tell me what should I do?"

"He's just a kid!"

But soon the hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

"Who can prove that he has been here?"

"No one, no one!"

"God wants him to die. He just needs to wait a few days for a ship to dock, and he can leave here."

"But now..."

"He discovered the secret of the island, and he will definitely tell others. It won't take long for many people to come here."

The expression in Kant's eyes gradually became firm.

"No! We can't let anyone know our secret."

Kant looked at the figure in the cage with gentle eyes. He stretched out his hand to touch the other person's cheek, but all he got was a violent struggle and a growl stuck in his throat.

All hesitation completely disappeared, and a strong murderous intent emerged in his eyes.

"Kill him, tonight!"
