"The business of the refinery suddenly took a sharp turn, and the economy of the town began to deteriorate. Captain alder thought of the lead, so he told the people in the town that he had a way to bring back the gold and fish. At the beginning, some people opposed it, especially one who had been to the island with him, but later all the people who opposed it were pushed away, so Captain alder went to work Finally, we can start to resume the refinery business. "
"But in 46, things got a little overwhelming. There were too many people missing in the town, and many people saw the half human and half Mermaid like monsters crawling out of the water. So some people, including the City Council, began to resist. They contacted around and gathered a large number of people. Finally, Obeid and the 23 people who followed him were put in prison But the trial against them hasn't come yet. One night Countless shadows crawled from the water to the shore. The square, church and ridge were full of gunshots and screams. Until dawn, half the people in the town disappeared.
"Obeid and the 23 men came out of the prison, and the rest of them, led by him, declared that a plague had attacked here and caused a large number of deaths. Yes, the plague was their excuse to cover up all this. After that, they finally slipped into the abyss of crime, and everything began to rot and die, Especially when the first group of children grew up and began to show their differences, more and more people became ugly, those monsters crawled in the dark attic and basement, and fewer and fewer normal people could see in the town until today. "
Fabricott's voice was shaking all the time. "When I first heard these things, I was comforting myself. It was just old Allen's drunken nonsense. But after that, he suddenly grabbed my shoulder and told me that it was coming. It was too late! It's too late. It's too late. With that, I saw him head up the breakwater in the distance and jump off it. "
"Did anyone see him talking to you?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know. At that time, I was too flustered. I should save him. Normal people should go to save him, or at least confirm whether he died. I mean, he was stimulated because of me. Although I thought he had mental problems at that time, I didn't. I just stood there, feeling choked by something, and so on I realized that everything was irreparable, so I turned around and ran back to the square. I wanted to take the 8:00 p.m. bus to Arkham, but the driver suddenly told me that there would be a celebration in the evening, the bus would be out of service for one day, and then I met you in the Gilman Hostel. "
"Do you know what old Allen said about it?"
"No, I don't have a clue at all. I've told you all I know," said fabricott. "If I hadn't seen it tonight, I wouldn't have believed that there was such a strange and terrible thing in the world. I swear, tonight this thing brings me more excitement than the strange things in my life. If we are lucky enough to leave this place safely, I will never come back
Then he looked at Zhang Heng with expectant eyes, "we can leave, right?"
Zhang Heng didn't answer in a hurry. He looked back toward the direction of the breakwater. The shadows above were still standing there, motionless.
After that, Zhang Heng looked back and said to farburicott, "you didn't tell me the truth."
"What do you mean?" Fabricott was stunned. "I can't hide anything in this situation, or I'll make fun of my own life."
Instead of answering this question, Zhang Heng said, "I'm just curious. What are you trying so hard to perform in such a play, just to show me?"
Fabricott's face held a look of consternation.
"You didn't come here by bus," Zhang Heng said. "In fact, the bus didn't leave here at all. I checked its wheels and the soil on the wheels. Judging from the degree of air drying, it hasn't moved for at least ten hours. The same is true of that grocery store. Judging from the ash on the counter, I don't think it has been operated in the last week Yes, and you said that you talked with the employees there in the afternoon. Besides, there are those abandoned houses. "
"Is there anything wrong with the house?" Fabricott asked.
"Some of them did collapse because of disrepair, but some of them, especially some houses on the seashore, were destroyed by man-made explosion. It can be seen that they are obviously different from natural collapse. Moreover, in some parts of the town, I saw traces left by tank tracks."
"Did you find so much after just being here for a while?" Fabricott was surprised.
"My observation is better than you think." Zhang Heng said, "so when is it now? When I first came here, I asked the first person who spoke to me. He said that it's July 15, 1927. The newspaper in the front desk clerk's hand was a year ago, but the magazine on the desk is also July 15. You seem to have been using this method to imply that today is July 15. Why? What's special about this day. ""No matter what date it is today, all your energy is really happening. Do you remember it?" Asked the young stranger.
"Save the word game or something." Zhang Heng said, "the young man in your story, did he escape here at last?"
"Did he escape?" The young stranger said to himself.
"I think it should be to escape, otherwise there will be no military intervention. The track marks of tanks on the ground and the old houses destroyed by the explosion are what happened after that."
Fabricott finally stopped pretending, took back the surprised expression on his face, and sighed, "your reasoning and observation ability is not only a little better as you said, but there is one point you are wrong."
"Please give me some advice." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I am the young man, and the young man is really me, or who I was."
"It's interesting, as you said before, that people usually don't come back here for the rest of their lives after experiencing this kind of thing."
"That's true, but remember the self introduction when we first met. I said that this trip is not only a tour of natural scenery, but also a study of family pedigree."
"You have the blood here?" Zhang Heng suddenly said, "were you born here? Did you leave in your life? That's why I don't know anything about it. "
"Or rather, my great grandmother, a member of the marsh family, the illegitimate daughter of captain Obeid marsh."
