Chapter 45 The strange disappearance

The group of people who had the accident in the three watchtowers were located on the stone platform called Hawk's beak platform by Gerhardt. On the stone platform of less than ten square meters, the bonfire had been extinguished, and there was some clear water in the kettle placed on the bonfire. A tart cloth bag was spread out on a large stone next to the bonfire, revealing the black bread and small pieces of pastrami. This was a benefit that Manuel specially distributed to several watchtowers.

The firewood used for fire making at the back of the platform was neatly stacked, and there were several wiped muskets next to the firewood. The entire observation platform was in order and everything seemed normal. It can be seen that the observation hand sent by Hederam on this platform was the elite on the Vistalos.

"There is still a little warm inside the bonfire. When dawn is approaching in the second half of the night, they should have added firewood. There are also a little crushed coffee beans at the bottom of the kettle. They want to have breakfast." Xu Mo's plain words were full of anger.

"They were attacked when they were approaching dawn in the second half of the night. The enemy actually ignored the Vestalos!" Hedram clenched his fists and said coldly.

If the attack occurred in the dark, it is understandable, but as dawn approaches, the sky has begun to shine, and the movement on the platform can be seen with a monocular telescope from the Vistalos, which is why Hedram and Xu Mo are so angry.

In addition to anger, a cold air rose from the tailbone behind the crowd, making people feel creepy. Everything on the Hawk Beak platform shows that when these lookout hands on the Vestalos were attacked, they were awake and did not fall asleep, but they even had no time to get the muskets that had been loaded with lead bullets, and they had no room for resistance, and were attacked by the enemy.

What's even more strange is that their bodies were not found on the platform or under the cliff, and there was not even a drop of blood. It seemed that these lookout hands evaporated out of thin air for no reason. Obviously, they also encountered the mysterious incident that the Hell God had touched, and the Hell God God had probably happened more than once. No wonder the English sailors were shaken and Clifford was forced to leave rashly.

"This is not something that humans can do. They must have been kidnapped by the devil!" The other lookout hands began to scream in panic.

"Shut up, remember you are Vikings!" Hedram sternly scolded.

Xu Mo walked around the platform and carefully looked at clues on the platform. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found something strange, but then he frowned again and began to think.

After a while, Xu Mo raised his head and said to Hedram, who was still thinking: "Governor, how much time will it take to complete our freshwater replenishment work!"

"Originally, there were four small boats on the Vistalos, but because the personnel went out to sea were overloaded, they only brought three. One of them was lost when camouflaged the stern light. Now there are only two small boats responsible for transporting the ice dug from the volcanic glaciers. It takes about one and a half days before the fresh water on the ship can be replenished!" Hedram calculated and replied.

"God of Admiral, let me stay on the island tonight as a lookout hand. In addition, I hope that the lookout hand of the other two places will be designated by me." Xu Mo said with a smile.

"Alfred, have you discovered it?" Hedram looked at Xu Mo in surprise. "Since you have discovered something, just say it out, otherwise I wouldn't let you take the risk alone!"

"Your Excellency, I have not discovered anything, but please believe me, whether it is a devil or a human, I will definitely bring him or them to you tomorrow morning!" Xu Mo held his right hand and gave a noble ceremony.

"...Okay, how many people do you need!" Hedram was silent for a moment, and finally chose to trust the man in front of him who had not disappointed him.

"Each lookout only requires two people. This platform allows Pastor Dinah and I to guard the other two lookout lookouts..." Xu Mo said lightly.

"There is no problem for everyone else, it's just Pastor Dinah..." Hedram turned his head and looked at Dinah. Dinah was not his subordinate, and he couldn't force Dinah.

"I feel extremely honored to be helpful to Your Excellency Alfred!" Of course, Dinah would not remove her boss's stand and nodded with a smile.

"Be careful, Alfred!" Hedram glanced at Xu Mo deeply, and led the others off the platform.

"Boss, have you discovered anything?" Dinah asked in confusion when she saw that Hedram had left.

"Dinah, look at the cave behind the platform!" Xu Mo said, pointing to the small cave with a diameter of less than one meter.

"There is nothing suspicious. There seem to be such small caves at the other two observation posts, but they are basically small in size. It's okay for people to lie in, but it won't work if they want to ambush inside!" Dinah walked closer to the cave and observed carefully.

"Use your talent to explore it in it!" Xu Mo said lightly with a flash of eyes.

"Well, it's so curved here! There seems to be nothing suspicious!" Dinah explored it and frowned and said.

"Is there some broken ice inside?" A cold light flashed in Xu Mo's eyes.

"Well... there is indeed some broken ice, but there is nothing strange about it. The mountain is full of glaciers, and it's nothing to fall into some broken ice!" Although he said that, Dinah felt an incongruous feeling in her heart.

"No, the broken ice on the mountain cannot fall into it. Look around it carefully!" A smile appeared on Xu Mo's face.

"Indeed! This terrain is like a bird's beak. Even if some broken ice falls on the glaciers on the volcano, they will be blocked by the protruding rocks. If it is the snow and snow blowing in from the wind, judging from the wind, the winding shape of the cave will accumulate at most near the entrance of the cave, and the broken ice will not fall so deep!" Dinah looked around again and said in surprise.

"Hmph, there is some broken ice at the entrance of the cave. Hedram did not find any abnormality because he had not come up yesterday, but I am different. Yesterday, Gehrat and I carefully investigated the platform. Yesterday, there was no broken ice on the edge of the cave on this platform. Even if it was blown by the wind, it would not be possible that they were all concentrated there. These broken ice were left by the attacker!" Xu Mo said lightly.

"Boss, are you saying something comes out of the cave and attacks our lookout hand and drags them into the cave? But why don't they resist?" Dinah nodded, then asked a question again.

"Humans will habitually stand backwards to avoid accidentally falling off the cliff. The same is true for our lookouts. This platform is so small and hundreds of meters away from the ground. They will not stand on the edge of the cliff. They usually choose to stand on the inside of the platform, which is almost one meter away from the cave. If something comes out of the cave, it is easy to attack them behind the back." Xu Mo analyzed slowly.

"Even so, there are five people in the Lookout Hand. It is impossible for them to be kidnapped without any room for resistance!" Dinah said with a frown.

"You are right, I also have doubts about this. However, the body of ordinary people is difficult to be immune to some abnormal states, such as paralytic toxins. However, the reincarnation people are different. We are the law body. Many methods that can control ordinary people are ineffective against reincarnation people. Even the toxins that ordinary people die when touched will at most reduce our health. This night, I want to see what it is that can make the five elite armed sailors surrender!" Xu Mo said coldly.

"Boss, no wonder you arranged Selena and Yahan separately at the other two watchtowers. I thought you were going to take the opportunity to get rid of them! Hehe!" Dinah said with a smile.

"Haha, we are not both on the boat. Of course, we can't keep them on the boat to avoid some accidents!" Xu Mo smiled indifferently.

...

"Ah Yai, I hate this cold weather the most. That damn bastard actually arranged me into this kind of task!" Selena rubbed her little nose and cursed with gritting her teeth.
