Chapter 70: Detective Reed
The endless sea, the pitch black sea, seems to hide some strange huge monster.
It was looking directly into Li Zu's eyes through the sea with a pair of eyes. Li Zu also tried to look back at the sea with his eyes, but unfortunately all he got was pitch black.
"There's still a day to go, and you've been invited?"
Li Zu turned around, and it was a man wearing the same gentleman's trench coat, his skin was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his spirit was a little decadent.
There is also a scar on his face.
"Invite?"
Li Zu scratched his cheeks, his eyes rolling in his sockets: "Maybe?" ”
"I'm Reed, a former sailor, now a detective, and I've had some special illness, and I've heard that there are many patients in this town who have the same condition as me, so I came to see it."
The two men, both of whom looked a little decadent, shook hands.
"What about you?" Reed looked at Li Zu's delay in answering, and asked.
Maybe it was the detective's instinct that made him feel that Li Zu was not ordinary.
"Bruce Wayne, I ...... I'm also a detective~, and I can't figure out how I got on this ship," he said, imitating Reed.
He didn't care about the other party's illness or where he was going.
Li Zu is still a little at ease with what happens.
When the empty door opened, he was about to leave a world and go to a new and unknown world.
Exploring the world seemed to be the only solace in his journey.
Fortunately, he really has a strong interest in the unknown, which makes this obsessive journey not so boring.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands, one left and one right, pressed on the shoulders of Li Zu and Reed, violently pushing the two of them away.
"You two! Go back to your room, you can't turn around on the boat! "The voice is rude.
A white sailor of Viking descent, with red cheeks, stared down at the two of them with bull's eyes.
"Mr. Wayne, I hope we can find a tavern to drink when we arrive." Reed nodded lightly at Li Zu, and then quickly left, he lived in a room away from Li Zu.
Li Zu also returned to his room, and closed the door with his backhand to block the uncomfortable sea breeze.
Squeak –
He pulled a rough stool made of old wood, the legs of which rubbed against the damp wooden floor with a sharp sound.
Li Zu sat at the table, his elbows propped up on his side face.
In the last world, he didn't gain much, only 49% of the degree of exploration, which shows that he didn't really understand that world.
Fortunately, he is not a person who is nostalgic for the past.
"Space-Time Gate: Cooling (8760h)"
"World Exploration Level: 0.1%"
Staying in this world for longer than expected.
Moreover, it was the first time he had only gotten such a rare degree of exploration, and only 0.1% of it was all from Reed, who had just taken the initiative to talk to him.
Li Zu lowered his head and looked at the model ship on the table, the black boat, nothing special.
In addition to the fact that the name "Charon" makes people feel a little uncomfortable, the last time this name appeared in front of Li Zu's eyes, it was the name of the "contraband" Greek mythology of the Styx ferryman.
However, for Li Zu, a "toy collector", low-grade handmade toys made of damp and mossy wood are not collectible.
The newspaper at hand was very interesting.
"1920"
The damp printed text, the smell of the ink is still strong, and it is clear that the newspaper is still "fresh".
"British police have arrested the townspeople of Innsmouth Town......"
This is a follow-up to a British journalist, a newspaper published in the United States, but published a British journalist's manuscript.
"They have faces as ugly as fish-people"
Li Zu stared at the black and white photo carefully, but unfortunately, the black and white photo with the size of his thumb could not satisfy Li Zu's curiosity to take a look at the fish man.
He flipped through the newspaper again, and finally stood up on the table in a bored manner, pacing back and forth in the cramped room.
The sea breeze outside the ship did not stop for a moment,
After searching his luggage and making sure that there was no food, Li Zu lay on the bed and fell asleep.
……
Syllable! It was the violent shaking of the ship's hull that woke him up.
The boat seemed to have hit the rocks, and at the same time as it shook violently, there was seawater spilling in through the cracks in the window, splashing Li Zu in the face.
The wall shook a little, and Li Zu stood up in a daze, pushed open the door and walked out.
Knock knock knock, looking at the scene outside, Li Zu's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
The ship did hit the rocks, and not only that, but the whole ship was parked on a pitch-black reef.
The sea is gone?
Crash~
There is the sound of water overhead.
Li Zu raised his head, and what caught his eyes was an octopus tentacle that was 30 feet long, and four or five huge octopus tentacles hung on the top of his head, covering the sky and the sun.
Beyond the tentacles of the octopus, it was a ...... It's the sea!
The sea did not disappear, but appeared above his head, taking the place of the sky!
The huge, octopus tentacles of the sea creatures moved strangely in the sea overhead, and the sound emitted was even more indistinct, not only difficult to understand, but even if you imitate it as usual, you can't make that weird sound!
……
"Hah!!"
Li Zumeng opened his eyes.
Everything just now turned out to be just a dream.
Syllable~
The ship shook violently and stopped.
Li Zu got up from the bed, opened the door and walked out.
"You've slept long enough"
On the side of the ship, Reed was already standing there, his spirit was even more sluggish, maybe he had experienced the same weird dream as Li Zu?
Otherwise, the two of them shouldn't be the same languishing.
"We've arrived."
This time it was not a dream, the sea did not appear in the sky.
Li Zu stepped off the boat, and he didn't even take the cane and suitcase.
Just standing on the side of the ship and looking at the town through the port, Li Zu's heart began to beat non-stop.
The place exudes a familiar smell.
It was beyond the sickly smell of Gotham City, beyond the dangers of Black Gate Prison...... A smell that only Arkham Asylum can see!
Li Zu walked down to the harbor, where Reed had arrived one step ahead of him, and he was now talking to a thin man in a yellow suit and a yellow top hat.
"Mr. Wayne, goodbye~" Reid said goodbye in a friendly manner.
Li Zu was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and nodded: "Goodbye!" ”
"I'm Johannes" Li Zu was about to leave, but the man in yellow standing opposite Reed stopped Li Zu, and he introduced himself very gentlemanly: "Local! ”
"This town has a lot of troubles for some reason, and now is not a good time to visit, I can recommend you to go somewhere to stay for a few days until the things are over." Evil Spirit Reef', you're going to be able to rest well. ”
Li Zu stared at the man in yellow for a long time, and nodded with the simplest action in response.
He rarely had such an expression, even when facing superheroes who could easily kill him, he didn't care, but the smell of the man in front of him made him have to keep his senses.
The huge rusty sign facing the harbor is covered with fish bones and white lacquer writing.
"Welcome to Oakmont~"
