The bottom of the fishing boat was slammed by something, and the people on the boat were swaying as if they were hit by a magnitude 12 earthquake.
The hull of the ship also creaked and groaned.
"Hold on tight, don't fall down."
The small fishing boats on the lake were far less than the offshore ones, and the tonnage was small, and the hull was not strong.
But no matter how small the tonnage was, it still had to be calculated in tons. What could it be that caused the ship to be in such a state?
"Ah!
You're bleeding. "
"I'm fine."
While they were swaying, a few fishermen hit the corner of the boat, and their heads were bleeding.
They didn't know what was under the water, and it was safest to stay on the fishing boat.
Many people's fear of the sea was a factor in this aspect. They didn't know what was hiding under the water, and if they were attacked by a monster in the water, there was no place to hide.
Those who were good at swimming were drowning, and the more they knew, the more afraid they were. The fishermen on the boat were no less afraid of the water than people.
There had never been a monster in Lake Biwa that could pose a threat to the mechanical fishing boat.
"Boom!"
The lower part of the diesel tank was hit, and a strange smell of diesel flowed out.
The surface of the water was instantly covered with black oil stains, and there was an indescribable smell just by smelling it. But to some people, the oil seemed to have a special fragrance.
"Bah."
But the water snake didn't think the diesel tasted good at all!
The viscous diesel poured into its mouth, and its already weak eyes were smeared with gasoline.
After eating a mouth full of diesel, the water snake had mixed feelings.
It had just made a hole in the bottom of the boat, and was about to jump onto the hull of the fishing boat from the bottom.
The cunning land fish had this kind of weapon.
It swam away angrily, and the smell of diesel was too disgusting. This time, I'll spare their lives.
When the water snake left angrily, the people on the fishing boat clearly saw the huge and terrifying body under the water!
"It's the Dragon King!
It's the Dragon King! "
"We angered the Dragon King!"
Its broad back was above the water, and its scales reflected a little bit of light under the sun. Its long tail slapped the surface of the water, and then it dived deep.
Water splashed everywhere, and the horror went straight to the head.
In the rainforest area, people might think that it was a giant fish in the water, but there were no giant fish in Lake Biwa.
"Who threw that thing into the lake? How could it be so effective!"
The people on the boat immediately thought of the legendary Dragon King of Lake Pipa. After all, even Giant Zhang didn't have the power to almost overturn the fishing boat.
A few days ago, a fool lured the Dragon King with a fishing rod, and this time, he was caught by them with a fishing net.
Why does the Dragon King like to go into the pockets of other people?
Of course, the owner of the boat also saw the Dragon King, but he was much more rational than the other fishermen. This boat was his property, so he had to be rational.
"Stop daydreaming. Hurry up and contact the rescue team. Someone, come and fill the gap!"
There were other fishing boats fishing on Lake Biwa. Through the radio signal, the fishing boats would communicate with each other and help each other. Naturally, there were also rescue boats on the shore, but by the time the shore rescue boats arrived, the fishing boat would have already sunk to the bottom.
In the midst of his anxiety, the fishing boat that heard the news of rescue appeared at the edge of the lake's horizon.
"Here, we are here!"
"What's wrong with all of you? Why are you all like this?"
"The fuel tank is leaking, the fuel tank is leaking."
In the face of the curious inquiry from the rescue boat, the few fishermen cleverly kept silent. Only the owner of the boat stuttered some words of gratitude.
They didn't dare to say it. Could they say that they had covered the Dragon King with a net?
If they really said that they had offended the Dragon King, they were afraid that the fishing boat that came after hearing the distress signal would directly abandon them.
They were all people who made a living on the water, and supernatural beings frequently appeared. Now, they had provoked the Dragon King.
Bad luck, too bad luck.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, as soon as they reached the shore, the owner of the boat quickly contacted the police station of Machi Town.
Seeing the owner and the crew's panic, the police officers of the police station were so scared that they grabbed their pistols.
They had bumped into the Dragon King in Lake Biwa, and they had even damaged his boat.
The Dragon King couldn't pay for it, but could the Dragon King compensate them?
There was such a dangerous existence in Lake Biwa, but the Dragon King didn't issue a ban on fishing.
Pay for it!
"The Dragon King of Lake Biwa?"
The supernatural affairs in Shiga Prefecture and even the entire region were temporarily managed by the Osaka Supernatural Headquarters. The newly established supernatural offices were still empty shells. Not only were they unable to recruit enough people, but even if they did, they didn't have many experienced veterans to lead them. The Tokyo headquarters didn't even have enough people.
As for the Ministry of Public Security, no one was interested in being transferred to the Supernatural Office. Except for the Fifth Division, no one in the Ministry of Public Security wanted to get involved.
The upper management of the Island nation Metropolitan Police Department was monopolized by the Law Department of Tokyo University, and the management of the Ministry of Public Security was basically the descendants of nobles. It was already the limit to squeeze out a few responsible people from the Ministry of Public Security to go to the Fifth Division. After the Fifth Division was absorbed into the Supernatural Office, it was impossible to find people who were brave enough to fight.
When the Supernatural Office was filled, they could only wait for the civil service exam or see if the government could come up with some clever ideas to increase the number of people.
"It shouldn't be."
The Osaka Supernatural Officer bit his pen. He originally belonged to the Fifth Division. Now that the country was forming supernatural police, elites like him were naturally in high demand.
After being transferred to Osaka, he had been promoted. Even though he was far from the center of the country, he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
He had personally determined that the Dragon King of Lake Biwa was the doing of Takahashi, and the higher-ups agreed with him. There was no reason that the fishermen could run into Takahashi after he went into hiding.
From the testimony, the fishermen didn't run into the Ink Dragon.
It was useless to not believe it. The pictures and data of the damage to the bottom of the fishing boat were placed before him. The damaged boat was also anchored by the shore.
Even if it wasn't the Dragon King in Lake Biwa, it had to be some unknown creature that could cause damage to the fishing boat.
"The Lake Biwa monster …"
"The fishermen's eyewitness reports were all verbal descriptions. There were no pictures. They only mentioned that the underwater monster had scales and a slender body. All in all, it fits the description of the dragon in the myth."
The head of department nodded. "Then it might be a new supernatural existence. Based on the description, even if it wasn't a dragon, it must be a baby dragon."
"Contact the higher-ups and the Shiga Prefecture Penitentiary."
Although Minister Moribe Takeo was nowhere to be found, it didn't matter to the Osaka Supernatural Office whether he was there or not. The deputy minister and the others could handle the official affairs.
"See if we can stop fishing for a while. It's best to ban fishing by the shore."
It was difficult to ban fishing by the shore, but it was not a problem to ban fishing in the lake.
No matter how big Lake Biwa was, it was just a lake. If there really was a supernatural existence at the bottom of the lake, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar!
