Chapter 138 The Residence of the Siren
Guru...
His stomach let out a low cry of dissatisfaction, Robin lowered his head, and a dull look appeared on his hungry little face.
She rarely gets full, and she has undertaken huge housework at a young age, but her daily food is only dry black bread and water. Her hard life has made her familiar with the feeling of hunger.
But being familiar does not mean being able to ignore it, especially because she is just a child.
Looking around, the sunset gradually fell from the sea level, and the cool breeze began to blow, and she shivered. Hunger and cold came together, and a lonely despair naturally arose in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and walked out of the small town. She couldn't stay here. The neighbors knew her. If they saw her whereabouts, they would tell her uncle.
Because of the ability of the Demon Fruit, she has been regarded as an alien since she was a child, and no one in the town likes her.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the beach. The sunset was all submerged below the sea level. Only the last afterglow was shining. The sound of tides came from the rising tide. Robin sat on a stone on a high place, shrank and looked at the sea.
As a person living by the sea, looking for food in the sea is the most basic life skill. But because of the devil fruit, she cannot be contaminated with the sea water, not to mention that now the tide is rising, she has to keep a safe distance.
The sea fog surged, and she turned her head and looked to the side, which was completely covered by the sea fog.
After two seconds of stunned, she suddenly thought of the legends mentioned by adults over the past year. It seemed that the legendary sirens appeared on the coast. They wrapped a section of the coast with thick fog. Anyone who dared to break in would become their "food ration".
Once at night, the siren will walk out of the thick fog and go to the city to hunt, and their partner likes little girls under the age of ten.
When she thought of this legend, Robin's face changed suddenly. Although she was very depressed now, she didn't want to die, especially becoming the legendary sirens, which made her even more fearful.
It has to be said that people have rich imagination. Just because there is a fog that will never return to the origin, the people in the town have compiled similar stories, and even the details are perfect and very specific.
Perhaps this initial story was just thought of by a mentally exhausted mother who was tortured by a child who cried all night. After it spread, people's natural ability to repair themselves completely, and a vivid story appeared.
If time precipitates, it doesn't take long. It only takes one or two decades. The legend of a sirens on the coast of Ohara will spread throughout the world, and even spread to the great channel over time.
Robin didn't know the truth. Even though she was very precocious due to the hardship of life, she was essentially just a seven-year-old girl with natural fear of things like siren and ghosts.
She jumped off the stone without thinking, and hurriedly ran towards the town. She just hoped that the sirens would go out later today and not let themselves be that unlucky person.
After only two steps, she became desperate. At some point, thick fog was everywhere. She completely lost her sense of direction. Even the sound of waves became thinner in the quiet space.
Humans are a kind of creature that is good at scaring themselves. The quieter the environment, the more helpful it is to repair one's own brain.
Robin's face turned pale. She didn't dare to stay in this dangerous beach for a moment, and ran out like she escaped.
I don’t know how long I ran, but the thick fog around me has not changed at all, so I can only tell her that she is still rushing to the road.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her eyes lit up and she walked out of the thick fog by the sea.
But what appeared in front of her was not the picture she had imagined. It was a path covered with pebbles, surrounded by unknown flowers and trees. The bright moonlight shone on the sea in the distance, shining with a sparkling luster.
From her perspective, there seems to be a wooden house at the end of the trail. Due to the moonlight, some of them are not real and specific, but they undoubtedly exist.
There was no fog around.
Robin widened his eyes, unable to believe everything he saw. She lived on the island for so long that she never knew there was a house here. And where did the thick fog just now go?
She took a step back in confusion, and in an instant, the surroundings were covered with white space. Silence completely wrapped her up, and she returned to the anxious state just now.
She hurriedly walked forward, and the scenery suddenly changed. In one step, she was completely different. She walked along the path with a little fear and curiousness.
No matter where this place was, she was unwilling to go back to the thick fog. She never wanted to feel the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world again.
The moonlight shone on the road she was moving forward. She walked very slowly, trying not to let the footsteps make noises. Her mind kept thinking, is the wooden house in this thick fog the residence of the sirens as the adults called? Or is it an old man living in seclusion?
What if the people here don’t like me like the people in the town? I don’t want to spend the night in that thick fog.
Chaotic thoughts flashed one by one, but nothing helpful. She was approaching the wooden house. A circle of fences surrounded the wooden house. The neat land in the courtyard had flowers that had never been seen before, and were blooming in the moonlight.
I quietly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. It seemed that it was not a siren's house. I heard from adults that the siren would not manage their own land.
Pushing away the wooden stake and walking carefully inside. There was no light in the room. She looked inside with the moonlight. The room was quiet and the objects placed were very simple, unlike someone inside.
She hesitated whether to push the door and go in. If the owner is not at home, she will break in and it will be a very impolite behavior.
Guru...
While she was hesitating, her stomach rang out again.
"It's over!" She squatted on the ground. If someone in the house would definitely hear it, what would she be regarded as, thieves, robbers, and homeless beggars?
Will the other party come to drive him away?
