Chapter 73: Divination
The monster died, and the madness that covered the brain was blown away like a cloud by a fan.
Reed finally controlled himself, stopped his frantic actions, and sat on the ground gasping for air.
"What kind of monster is this!"
Reed glanced at the corpses on the ground, strange monsters with ugly looks that were hard to describe.
Even if the thing had been destroyed, just looking at the corpse, Reed's spirit had the intention of going crazy again, and he had to hold his breath and forcibly turn his head, so as not to fall into that uncontrollable and terrifying spiritual world again.
There seemed to be wailing in the air, like children, and some like women, singing strange voices from far and near.
Reed's whole heart was dangling.
Bang! The shelves in the basement were knocked over, and another monster similar to the one before jumped out, it was smaller.
Reid subconsciously raised his gun to aim at the monster, resisting the madness of the waves that hit his brain like a wave, and fired.
Click-
The bullets have long been emptied!
"Bruce!" Reed can only hope for that weird peer.
"Bruce? Where is it? Li Zu, who was squatting on the ground poking at the monster's corpse, raised his head strangely.
"Quick, he's right behind you!" Reed yelled.
His reminder was finally a step too late, and the multi-segmented monster had already pounced on Li Zu's back.
But what shocked Reed even more happened, Li Zu suddenly turned around and grabbed the monster, grabbed its arthropod with one hand, and stood up.
"Uh......" Reed's throat struggled to squeeze out.
"Hahaha, hehehahahahaha!!" A strange burst of laughter burst in.
Li Zu just carried the monster and laughed strangely.
"Bruce? Bruce wayne? Reed tentatively approached to ask how the fellow had been through life and death, but the way he was laughing back was too terrible to stop Reed from approaching.
"Ahem, haha!" Li Zu stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears.
The smile finally subsided, and the monster he was holding in his right hand had turned into a soft stuffed ragdoll, but it was still hideous.
"...... this?" Reed also noticed this, and it was even harder to control the shock in his heart.
A monster that can cause madness in people's hearts has been turned into a rag doll, even if the appearance of this rag doll is still hideous and terrifying.
"It seems that our investigation will continue," Li Zu tucked the puppet under his armpit, and he was completely interested in the matter.
"Hmm" Reed nodded, not pursuing why Li Zu was able to turn the monster into a furry puppet.
He stood up, bypassed the body, and pushed open a door in the basement.
There is a corpse hanging on the wall.
"Orangutan face?" Li Zu had already come to the bottom of the corpse, he was holding the monster puppet in his left armpit, and his chin was pinching his chin in his right hand, really observing like a detective.
"He's Albert, we're looking for it this time, but it looks like ...... He seems to have suffered misfortune. Reid nodded, also observing the corpse: "He had a shot in his eyebrow, and the man was going to kill him, not just chasing him." But it still doesn't make sense...... They say Albert has the ability to infect people and make people crazy, is that how Lewis was influenced? It seems that only finding Lewis can explain all this. ”
Reed ended his brief speculation and turned his head to find that he had lost his trace. Fearing that Li Zu would "cherish" the monster corpse, Reed chased him out, and took it to his relief, Li Zu did not squat on the ground and continued to poke the corpse, but took a letter and read it carefully.
Seeing Reed coming over, Li Zu handed the letter to Reed, Li Zu, who knew limited words, but it was difficult to really understand the meaning of the letter.
"This is Lewis's letter, and it seems that he accidentally left it behind when he came here to dispose of Albert's body...... Now that the town is completely locked down, there is absolutely no way for Lewis to escape from here...... This is the only place where he can hide! ”
Reed clutched the letter, his expression determined.
"Lewis owes a lot of money to the tavern owner, he can only go there! It's time for us to act, Bruce! Reed has been consciously calling Li Zu, although the behavior is strange, but Li Zu's strong combat effectiveness is the best guarantee for Reed, a strange town, to continue to investigate the case.
"Bruce?" Reed, who found that Li Zu did not answer, shouted again.
"Huh? Bruce here? Li Zu turned his head quickly, as if looking for "Bruce".
"You're not Bruce?"
"Oh, yes, Bruce!" As if he had just remembered, he nodded earnestly: "I'm Bruce!" Bruce Wayne, right? ”
Reed, who had long been accustomed to his nervousness, just nodded.
They emerge from the basement and walk towards the only tavern in town.
Li Zu didn't know what happened at all, and of course, for him, no matter who killed whom, it was boring enough.
Living, exploring the unknown, is the joy of life.
Of course, don't laugh out loud, otherwise life will be very boring.
……
Knee Tavern,
In the tavern of Oakmont Town, pushing open the door, two men who were mentally depressed walked in immediately attracted the attention of several people in the tavern.
"Outlander"
With disgusted eyes, after reciting the identities of the two people, they continued to busy with the wine in their hands.
"I'll go ask the boss," Reed took the letter and walked towards the bar.
Li Zu sat at a table very familiarly, leaning his side face to listen to the chat at the next table.
"It's all those damn Innsmouths! Ever since they came here, the town has been flooded, and they always catch more fish with their ugly faces, but we can only drink here! ”
The glass slammed against the table with great force.
"Innsmouth?" This is not the first time Li Zu has heard about the "Innsmouth", but without exception, there are no positive reviews.
"Do you want to divination?" A dark figure sat across from Li Zu.
She was an African-American woman with her hair tied in knots and odd ornaments. The face is also painted with bright oil paint.
"I can see your future"
"I don't have the money of this era" Li Zu raised his index finger and scratched his cheek, and with his other hand took out a crumpled green banknote from his pocket, which was the 2015 edition of the printed coin: "Does Franklin accept it?" ”
The African-American woman's eyes did not stop on the banknote, her eyes kept staring at Li Zu: "The traffic here is blocked, there is no communication with the outside world, money is waste paper here, you can take something useful, such as bullets, gold, or your patent leather boots, or this windbreaker that looks very expensive......"
"I have sweaty feet!" Li Zu dug out of his pocket and finally took out two bullets.
"I haven't seen a bullet, maybe it can be sold for a good price" The African-American woman put away the bullet, she closed her eyes, her fat lips trembling, as if praying to some god.
A few minutes later, she opened her eyes.
If she hadn't tapped the table gently, Li Zu might have had a dream.
"Yawn~, how's it going?" Li Zu stretched his waist and asked.
She stared at Li Zu's eyes seriously, and said the mysterious prophecy: "Fate is destined, reincarnation is always accompanied, when the blue is filled, death can't help you get rid of the choice." ”
