Chapter 118: The "Story" of Innsmouth Town
"Huh?"
The Innsmouth police turned their heads, their gray eyes filled with doubt.
The street behind him was empty, and in a second or two, the stranger was gone?
"......" muttered in a strange tone as the Innsmouth police continued to patrol the streets, his main patrol area around the "Delapool Antique Shop".
Li Zu moved lightly on the roof, and the thick-soled leather boots did not cause much trouble for his movement.
Take a leap and span more than three meters!
And he only needed to squat half-way, his knees sank slightly, and he unloaded the gravity of jumping from the second floor.
Glancing at the door of the antique store with a seal, Li Zu still chose a safer way, he bypassed the gate and came to the back door of the antique store.
The door locked.
[Toyization]
Where the palm touches, the locked door becomes a toy.
Gently push open the toy door, and there is a storage compartment at the rear.
"Antiques are no less ......"
Li Zu checked the number on the box, the so-called "information" of the old Drapour, that is, the number of these antiques in the antique store, and the most important thing was to find out how much property he had lost at the first time.
An antique is no less!
"It seems that Burnham didn't steal from him, he just disappeared out of thin air"
Li Zu sat in his chair and suddenly remembered Charles Reed, that guy's ability to directly flip through the correct answer when investigating the case.
"The people of Innsmouth don't just look weird," he recalled, recalling the roar coming from inside a building when he first entered Innsmouth.
"Click~"
Front, the doors of the antique shop opened.
Two policemen walked in.
"The stranger is gone!" It was the Innsmouth policeman who stopped Li Zu just now: "As soon as I turned my head, he disappeared, he came for this dilapidated antique shop." ”
"Those businessmen really have a problem with their brains," another cop scoffed, "for something as meaningless as money, they are ridiculous compared to our great ideas." ”
"Ha, ha, ha......" His silly laugh was also funny.
"No one"
The two Innsmouth police officers searched the entire room, but unfortunately they couldn't find Li Zu, who was "glued" to the corner of the wall overhead.
The policeman closed the door and left, and Li Zu landed easily.
He stared at his palm in some surprise, his body seemed to be getting stronger.
"Blood?"
Li Zu's nose twitched, and he smelled a scent in the air that could stimulate his nerves!
He could feel the blood impulse in his body that belonged to the "Crazy Chaos" line, driving him forward.
in the basement.
The locked basement door was gently pulled open as a toy, but nothing could stop him.
A pool of blood that had not yet dried, and there were terrible paw prints on the ground, which seemed to be a fierce beast like a lion.
The master of the beast and the blood, he has not been here for a long time.
Strangely, there were beasts and people "fighting" in the basement, and the two policemen with keen senses outside did not even notice.
"Or did you find it, pretend you didn't? …… It's getting more and more interesting! ”
The Innsmouth man is hiding some kind of secret, and in the remaining sixty hours, he may uncover it.
It is human instinct to explore the unknown, not to mention that there is a reward for this exploration, who can refuse it?
It only took twenty minutes for Li Zu to calmly open the door and walk out of the antique store, just around the corner when he happened to run into the Innsmouth police.
He scratched the back of his head, not understanding where Li Zu suddenly "got out".
"Don't mess around! Outlander, do weird things on my turf and dare to go against me, and I'll definitely throw you in jail! ”
He did not hide his threat at all.
In Innsmouth, he is the law.
"I understand, Mr. Policeman" Li Zu nodded humbly and respectfully, but when he lowered his head, the smile covered by his slightly long black hair became brighter and brighter.
The police, who couldn't do anything about the strangers in front of them, finally let them go.
Turn two alleys and go deeper.
This town has a lot of alleys and is a great terrain to get around tracking.
There are people ahead,
Snort –
Someone is graffiti on the wall.
Woman with short hair in a short skirt and spraying spray on the wall with spray in her right hand.
She didn't seem to notice Li Zu behind her, or maybe she had noticed it a long time ago, but she didn't bother to pay attention to him. She continued to spray the walls attentively.
A five-pointed star,
Then, an eye.
Old Print!
The woman has a special pair of eyes.
Eyes similar to Erica's.
"This is not a place for you to come, this town is very repulsive to outsiders, I suggest you get out of here quickly" She pointed to the old seal behind her: "If you have any trouble, what I paint on the wall may be able to help you!" ”
Li Zu stared at the old seal on the wall, nodded, and turned to leave.
"Don't do too many strange things in Innsmouth, they're always watching you," the woman finally advised.
……
Although Innsmouth is not bustling at night, there is a pub that is open, and there is a drunken old drunkard at the door of the bar.
He howled in the corner, and didn't care about the Innsmouths who passed by.
The people of Innsmouth also seemed to have no choice about this old drunkard, but they just paid a few more attention to Li Zu.
"Is there any wine?" The old drunkard raised his eyelids and looked at Li Zu with one eye.
"I've been working in Mrs. Vaughan's almshouse for 37 years, and before that I worked in a fish cannery, and I've been growing up in Innsmouth."
"Let's get some wine to moisten my throat first, and then we'll talk about something else!"
Li Zu would never turn down someone who made him feel interesting, and he was very curious about the situation at Innsmouth.
With a bar behind you, there's no shortage of spirits.
Seeing the wine, the old drunkard's expression became surprised, he grabbed the wine, rinsed his mouth with the wine, swallowed it, and drank a few sips of "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and half a bottle of wine went down to his stomach.
"Hiccup~" His stomach swelled and he burped, and the old drunkard closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Li Zu waited by the side from beginning to end, without urging.
"Hiccup!" After another hiccup, the old drunkard began to say, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"British police arrested Innsmouth not long ago?"
"Not long ago? This place will be tied by the police, let alone coming from the sea" The old drunkard pouted, "I have lived here since I was a child, if it weren't for the fact that you read the date of the newspaper wrong...... But the police did come here. ”
Li Zu's question seemed to touch the memory that he had sealed in his mind.
Or maybe it's just drinking too much and making him want to talk about the past.
"Maybe you're like the stinky boys in Akham and Ipswich who think I'm crazy, but I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten."
"It all starts with Captain Obaid, who tricks desperate folks into enclosing a more powerful god, a god who can answer everyone's prayers.
The Christians took Obaid's followers to the reef and shot them, and threw Obaid and his followers into prison. At that time in Innsmouth, it was still what Christians said, and the "made-up" story you see may be adapted from the story at that time. ”
