Chapter 3 Chapter 2 The Baron's Rebirth

Right now, the Seto Inland Sea has become a dangerous situation with storms and torrential waves.The wind was blowing fiercely, the rain was torrential, the dark clouds rolling in the sky were flying over the head like flying dragons with claws and claws, and the roaring waves on the sea were like hungry tigers baring their teeth and leaping. Whenever lightning like a fiery snake passed over the top of his head, there was a burst of earth-shattering low-pitched thunder.In a storm, a yacht is like a leaf rubbed and swayed by the waves, and the sail is about to break. The situation is extremely critical. I don’t know how many times it was almost overturned by the storm.

"Usami-san, no...is it alright?" The little fat man was so frightened that his face turned blue, and he clung to the pole of the boat tightly in the cabin.The pouring rain was like a shower head, pouring mercilessly on the heads of the three young men who were only wearing swimming shorts. "It doesn't matter, don't be afraid!" Kyosuke said while fighting desperately against the storm: "A yacht is such a thing, even if it looks like it's going to capsize, it won't capsize easily. Little fat man, are you scared?" "Well, I... I'm not afraid, but I'm a little cold. Besides, I can't swim too far."

"Hahaha! It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid! This little storm is nothing! Shiro-kun, you are pulling on that sail rope!" Although Kyosuke spoke harshly, he was already fighting to the death, and sweat and rain intertwined and flowed down his forehead like a waterfall. "Brother Usami, let's take shelter from the rain somewhere first. It seems that we can't go back for the time being." Shiro showed an unexpected calmness and made a suggestion. "Okay, then let's go to Baron Island to avoid it!" Baron Island seemed to be right in front of us, but it was not easy to approach. The yacht was rubbed back and forth by the storm, but it just spun around in the same place and couldn't move forward.

At this moment, Shiro didn't know what he saw, but suddenly he screamed "Oops", and unconsciously let go of the sail rope.Broken, the yacht is listing and is about to capsize. "You, you, what's the matter? Shi Lang-kun!" "Just... the moment the lightning flashed just now, I seemed to see someone looking at us from the tower!" "Is it Otomaru?" "Well, maybe." But actually it wasn't Otomaru. What Shiro saw was a gorilla-like face, which made him feel terrified, so he let go of the sail rope unconsciously.But in order not to scare the little fat man, he deliberately concealed it and did not speak out.

"Brother Usami, are there any monsters in Baron Island?" The little fat man may have seen that Shi Lang's expression was wrong, and asked with some concern. "Hahaha, how can there be such a thing! In this society, if there are monsters like gorilla-human hybrids, can it be tolerated? Only because the fishermen here are uneducated, they spread the word .Hey, it's saved this time!" "Usami-san, what's wrong?" "The wind direction has changed, hurry up, take advantage of this time!..." Sure enough, the Baron's Island, which he wanted to get close to but couldn't get close to, is almost here now.The yacht is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the trestles, hills, and castles are all approaching.At this moment, the yacht was not riding the wind, but riding the turbulent tide, as if being pushed over, it quickly slid close to the small pier of the island.

"It's good this time, and I don't have to be afraid of anything." The place is surrounded by land on three sides, and the wind is also light. It is much more relaxed than being in the sea. Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief and re-adjusted the rudder. The yacht quickly docked at a small trestle. "Long live!" The little fat man jumped up happily. "Okay! Little Fatty finally cheered up again. I'm sorry for making you so scared. Come on, go up!" "Brother Usami, are you going to land on this island?" "Of course, how can we stop in this kind of place and get caught in the rain all the time? Let's go to Guliuzhuang to take shelter from the rain. It doesn't matter. I heard that Dr. Bei Dao is a very kind person, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Shi Lang, you What's the matter?"

"Well, not really..." Shi Lang's words were somewhat vague. "Then, hurry up! You're always going to catch a cold here. You're going to catch a cold. How can I explain to my husband?" When the three of them walked ashore from the yacht, there was another flash of lightning, Shirou took the opportunity to look back towards the tower, and there was no sign of the monster there. The ancient Liuzhuang was built on a small hill in the very center of the island.The three of them ran to Guliuzhuang in the pouring rain to have a look, and it happened that the suspension bridge on the ditch had been lowered.

As mentioned earlier, Guliuzhuang is surrounded by a wide moat, and only a suspension bridge connects the inside and outside of the moat.This suspension bridge is usually suspended high, but today it was lowered for some unknown reason.No one had time to think carefully about this point.It's really destiny to have this experience. Leave that alone.When they walked across the suspension bridge, they faced a tightly closed big iron gate, with gongs and drum hammers hanging from the gate, as if telling people to use this to knock on the door. Kyosuke knocked on the gong, as if someone had been waiting inside for a long time, and opened the door with a creak, and it was the little boy who showed his head, and the three of them subconsciously gasped in fright.

Xiao Xiaozi is about 1.3 meters tall, with a very big head and a face that is exactly the same as that of a toad. There is no doubt that this is Yinwan. "What's the matter with you?" the little boy asked slowly.And looked up and down the three people contemptuously, and then sneered, showing a gloomy look. "Ah, no, we came here to evacuate because of a storm, and we want to take shelter from the rain at your place..." After Kyousuke expressed his plea, Kouzi tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "Ah, is that so? Then please come in..." Then he moved his body slightly to the side.Kyosuke walked in happily, but Shirou and Fatty hesitated.

"Brother Usami, is it okay to go in?" The little fat man showed doubts on his face. "It's okay, there's nothing to worry about. Since this guy agreed with good intentions, you don't have to be polite." "Little fat man, let's go in!" When Shi Lang and the little fat man just walked in, the little boy sneered and closed the big iron door tightly.The moment he closed the door, Shirou felt a chill hit his body, but so far he could no longer escape. Beyond the door was an empty mine hall, dimly lit by a skylight with tinted glass.Sometimes the light of thunder and lightning penetrated the colored glass and illuminated the hall.

On the front of the hall, there is a beautiful marble staircase, and Xiao Xiaozi did not go up the stairs, but led the three of them to a wide room on the left. "Wait here for a while, I'll report to Mr. The gentleman he mentioned may be referring to Dr. Bei Dao. "Please!" Xiao Xiaozi closed the door tightly again.Judging from the footsteps he walked out, it seemed that he was walking across the hall towards the second floor.At this time, the three people took a breath and looked at each other. The little fat man breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What a ghastly man. Neither grown nor child-like, it's a nuisance!" "Don't judge people like that, he may be a kind man!" Although Shi Lang said such admonishment, his mood was the same as that of the little fat man. "Yes, Shiro is right, people should not be judged by their appearance!" "Well, I won't make random comments anymore." The little fat man shrank his neck and admitted his mistake. But no matter how much he waited, the little scorpion never came back.Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and still no sound of his footsteps could be heard.As a result, the three of them became a little timid.First of all, the three of them were all drenched and unbearably cold, and the atmosphere in this room was a bit creepy—there were no chairs, no tables, no paving on the floor, and of course no plaques or anything like that s things.Not to mention, the windows are all embedded with thick iron railings, just like a prison cell. It was still raining heavily outside the window, and a purple lightning flashed from time to time, illuminating the inside of the house. "What's the matter? What did he do?" Kyousuke also began to feel a little restless. "Are you cold?" "Well, I'm kind of..." The little fat man was about to say something.Suddenly, two or three screams were heard. "Ah! What's that sound?" The three of them were so frightened that you looked at me and I looked at you. Suddenly, there was a "bang" gunshot...Kyosuke heard the gunshot, and opened the door desperately, but stopped in a daze.Because the door was locked tightly. "Oops!" "Brother Usami, what's the matter?" Shirou was also surprised and ran over. "Tricked, the door is locked." "Lock!?……" Shi Lang and the little fat man turned pale with fright and looked at each other, the little fat man shivered from the cold. "Why is that? Maybe the little fat man is right, that little brat is a bad guy." "Then what does he mean by locking us here?" "Not sure what he wants to do, but it's safe to say that it would be inconvenient for him not to lock us up." "But, Usami-san! If that's the case, why didn't he kick us out, but let us in instead?" Shi Lang's question was justified, Gongsuke woke up like a dream when he heard this. "Yes, in that case, it was suspicious to put down that suspension bridge at the beginning. Maybe when we came here, someone was already waiting!" "That is to say, before we even knocked on the gong, Xiao Xiaozi had already opened the lock." Thinking about it carefully, there are doubts everywhere, but it is only discovered after the fact, and it can only be done in hindsight. "Brother Usami, what should we do? Is it because we can't get out from here?" The little fat man was so anxious that he was about to cry. "No, don't be afraid, just wait a little bit!" Kyousuke checked the window, then frowned and said: "Can not be done!" The iron railing on the window was too narrow, and it seemed impossible to get through anyway. He shook it with all his strength, but it didn't budge. "Then, I have no choice but to knock the door open, and get out of the way!" Kyosuke took five or six steps back, rushed over with all his strength and slammed into it, but the door still didn't budge, Kyosuke was bounced back instead, his shoulder hurt so much that he frowned.Besides, he was only wearing a pair of swimming shorts, so he might get injured! As I said before, the house is empty, there is not even a plaque, let alone find a way out.It was almost hopeless. The three looked at each other in blank dismay, silent.At this moment, another "bang" was heard.Then came the sound of "Wow". It was an extremely terrible scream.After the sound, the surroundings returned to the general silence of the cemetery.The storm seemed to have died down. "Usami-san, just, what was that voice just now?..." "Quiet, don't talk..." While the three of them were holding their breath and listening quietly, it seemed that someone had come down from the second floor.The sound of kicking footsteps sounded like a small sound ball, but there was also a strange sound of footsteps mixed in. The sound of footsteps was like walking barefoot in a puddle.And along with the footsteps, there was a terrible groaning sound of panting. Kyosuke hugged the two teenagers tightly under his armpits, and put on a fighting stance towards the door.Fortunately, the sound of footsteps crossed the door and walked towards the main entrance outside. Kyosuke breathed a sigh of relief, then let go of the two boys, and put his eyes close to the keyhole on the door, wanting to take a peek, but unfortunately the keyhole was blocked with something from the outside. When the sound of footsteps disappeared at the main entrance, only a "click" was heard to close the door, and then the outside returned to the graveyard-like silence. "Brother Usami, what was the sound of footsteps just now?" The little fat man was shivering from the cold. "One of them looks like a little scorpion." "One is Xiao Xiaozi, what about the other?" "Maybe it's a monster like a big... gorilla!" Even now, Gongsuke can no longer fool them.The horrible footsteps and gloomy atmosphere just now made even Kyousuke break out in a cold sweat. "Brother Usami, what should we do? We have to find a way to get out of here! Xiao Xiaozi took the key away, so can't we get out?" Kyosuke seemed to wake up after hearing the little fat man's words. "Don't worry, little fat man! I've figured out a way. Mr. Shi Lang, look carefully at the keyhole! Did you insert the key from the outside?" Shiro immediately looked at the keyhole. "Yes, it is the key. But the key is outside the door! . . . " "So we need to rely on the power of the little fat man. Look, isn't there a movable window on the door? The window is so small that adults can't get through it. If the little fat man can get out...Little fat man, are you Aren’t you willing to drill out and open the door from the outside?” The little fat man was just thirteen years old, but his body was very small, like a child less than ten years old, and his movements were very dexterous, like a monkey, which was easy for him.The little fat man rolled his eyeballs and said: "No problem. Brother Usami, you can be my personal ladder..." The little fat man climbed over the movable window on Kyosuke's shoulders, and jumped outside with a bang.At this moment, he didn't know what he saw, but only heard a scream of "Oops!" "Little fat man, what's the matter, what's the matter?" The little fat man opened the door from the outside and threw himself into Kyousuke's arms. No wonder the little fatty was trembling with fright, and when Kyousuke and Shiro looked in the direction the little fatty was pointing at, they were also so frightened that the blood all over their bodies was about to freeze. On the floor of the dimly lit hall, the footprints that walked past were left... Oh, what a terrible, gloomy, and disgusting footprint! This footprint is slightly larger than a human footprint, but the toes are very long, and it seems to be crawling on all fours. The palm print is also completely different from a human palm, exactly the same as a monkey's palm, and the scary thing is not only these, Its footprints and palm prints were still covered with sticky blood. "Shi Lang-kun, it's broken! Maybe Dr. Bei Dao has made a mistake." "Brother Usami, let's go and have a look!" Shi Lang and the little fat man calmed down from the panic just now, and regained their courage, thinking that if Dr. Bei Dao was injured, he would go to take care of it as soon as possible. Fortunately, the blood-stained footprints happened to be a good signpost.The three of them walked along the road signs and found out that the footprints were connected from the second floor to the third floor. "Shi Lang-kun, this is the tower above!" "It seems that the monster came down from the tower." "Hey! Brother Usami, here is a key!..." What the little fat man picked up was a large silver key, which was also covered with blood. "Little fat man, you may be able to use that key with you." Inside the tower, there is a spiral staircase.When I came here, the blood-stained footprints became more and more clear. In addition to the footprints, there were also sticky blood dripping down.From this, the monster may have been injured. There was a door at the end of the stairs, which was wide open.The three of them crawled up here to have a look, and they froze with a sound of oops.Here is a round house built in the shape of a tower.There is no doubt that this is Baron Gu Liu's past research room.A row of shelves against the wall is full of specimens and vials for reagents.Among the specimens, some exude a foul smell.In one corner of the room, there was an operating bed, and a cupboard beside the bed was filled with all kinds of utensils used by surgeons. However, it wasn't just these devices that surprised the three people, but they saw a large cage with iron bars on one side of the house near the window.No, it's not so much a cage, it's better to say that the whole house is a big iron cage, but part of the house is separated by iron railings.And in this big cage, besides the bed, there are also chairs and a table, and a man with a pistol in his hand is lying under the table. "Oh! This is Dr. Bei Dao..." Kyosuke hurried to the side of the cage.Although Kyosuke had never met Dr. Kitajima before, when the Baron Koyanagi incident happened, a photo of the doctor was published in the newspaper, so he still remembered it clearly. "Little fat man, give me the key you picked up just now, maybe it's the key to this cage." "There is a big tumbler lock hanging on the iron cage. It is the key to this lock that the little fat man picked up." "This is great!" Kyosuke opened the door and ran in to see that there was blood everywhere in the cage.Kyousuke walked up to the doctor, picked him up and shouted: "Sir, wake up! Sir!" Fortunately, the doctor hadn't died yet, he opened his eyes slightly, and when he saw Kyousuke, he said: "What's the matter with the beast? How's it going?" "Sir, what is it?" "It's a hybrid of a gorilla and a human. That's the former Baron Gu Liu." When the three of them heard this, they shuddered in fright, looked at each other involuntarily, and wondered if Dr. Bei Dao was crazy?Quickly asked: "Sir, please be sober! Didn't Baron Guliu die three years ago?" "Yes, Baron, he was condemned to death, he was dead, but he was reborn again in his body. Ah, he is a terrible monster baron..." The doctor spat out a mouthful of blood.His ribs seemed to be injured, so he endured the pain and continued: "I regret it so much... I was entrusted by the Baron to perform an operation on him, I regret it... I tried to kill him many times but... that guy... is a beast and not a beast..." The doctor took a long breath at this point, and after taking a breath, he told them: "That's the real Baron Guliu!... It's not easy to kill him... So, I locked him in a cage and didn't let him go outside... I've wiped out all the ships on the island It's sunk and it can't swim...I think I'll just sit here and watch it forever...I'm determined to kill it when I'm dying...but unfortunately, your yacht comes by today It's... after seeing the yacht, it asked Otomaru to open the cage door..." The doctor's words are getting more and more confusing. "Hold on, sir, what kind of surgery are you talking about?" "That's a terrible operation... It's a terrible operation invented by Dr. Gu Liu... Oh, there is my diary in the drawer of the table over there, please bring it to me..." Shiro immediately jumped out of the cage, found the diary from the desk drawer, and took it. "Sir, is this the diary?" "Oh, this is it...there is a record of the rebirth of Baron Koyanagi, please give it to Dr. Koyamada in Tokyo..." "Hey, Dr. Oyamada? Sir, is the Dr. Oyamada you mentioned the same Dr. Shingo Oyamada?" Kyousuke asked in surprise. "Oh, it's Dr. Shingo Oyamada, do you know him?" "It's not just acquaintance, Dr. Oyamada's son is also here now! His name is Shiro." Shi Lang greeted the doctor cordially. The doctor trembled in surprise, held Shi Lang's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Oh! Thank God!... There is still a god's rescue... Mr. Shi Lang, Mr. Shi Lang!" "yes!" "Please give this diary to your father, let him find a way to get rid of Baron Guliu...that monster baron!" "Monster Baron?..." "Yes, I shot it just now, and it must have been seriously injured...but...this injury won't kill it....to catch it...catch it...destroy it, ah... This monster king!... Baron Gorilla!" Dr. Bei Dao spat out another mouthful of blood, and his hands and feet trembled violently. "Sir, sir! Please hold on!" Kyosuke and Shirou called Dr. Kitajima's name from left and right, but the doctor could no longer hear the voices, and when he trembled to the last moment, he suddenly died. Kyousuke and Shiro stared at Dr. Kitajima whose heart had stopped beating in great grief, with tears in their eyes and silent. At this moment, the little fat man, who had already run to the window to look out, suddenly yelled sharply: "Oops! Someone took our yacht away!" Kyosuke and Shiro heard his shout, ran to the window and looked out, ah, it's not good, they saw a yacht rowing out from a distant trestle, it was indeed their own yacht.The one at the helm was that little Sako Otomaru, and squatting beside him was a man in a black cloak. The storm had subsided at some point, and the dark clouds in the sky were slowly dissipating. A ray of sunset light passed through the gaps in the clouds, and suddenly shone on the yacht.At this moment, the squatting guy in a black cloak raised his head and looked this way lightly. The three of them shouted involuntarily and horribly at the moment he looked at it: "Oh, look at that face!" Just like a gorilla!Narrow forehead, sunken eyes, high and long lips and protruding chin... It is really an indescribable, extremely ugly and very terrifying face, and the fur is not as thick as that of a gorilla, which is really human-like almost. As if mocking the three young men, the monster bared its teeth, shook its hand, and immediately covered itself with its cloak and squatted down. I saw the yacht leaving Baron Island quickly like an arrow that had left its string. So, what kind of surgery is Dr. Bei Dao's so-called surgery?What is the so-called monster king, Gorilla Baron?Also, what happened after the monster escaped from Baron Island?
