Chapter 71: Weirdos

"Welcome to Oakmont Town",

A huge welcome sign came into view.

If it weren't for the few people standing in the distance, staring at the ships docked at the harbor, and glaring at Li Zu, perhaps someone would have been willing to believe that they were friendly and welcoming outsiders.

Reid was still talking to the man in yellow, and they looked like they were going to talk for a long time.

The planks of the boat make up a path that connects from the sea to the land.

Li Zu took a deep breath and relaxed his tense nerves. He took his expensive-looking patent leather boots and walked down the path.

The whole world spreads with a strange atmosphere, whether it is a ship, a port, or that inexplicable dream.

A man in front of him was kneeling on the path, muttering to himself towards the sea,

“…… The end times are coming! Li Zu lowered his head, and he could barely hear what the other party was saying.

“!! …… A new cycle is about to begin! Something from the underworld is coming! The seed has been sown! ”

At the end, the strange man raised his hands and said as if he wanted to embrace the ocean.

Li Zu shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave, he had no interest in the madman.

At the fork in the road, there was a group of "guards" in front of them, they seemed to be waiting for Li Zu to pass, their half-open lips seemed to be filled with vicious advice, just waiting for Li Zu to come to them, and then spray him in the face.

Li Zu turned around very interestingly, it was a small road, it seemed that it could not lead to the hinterland of the town, let alone reach the hotel recommended by the man in yellow.

At the end of the path, there is the sea water.

A lifeboat, named Titania, ran aground on the shore.

There were also two residents of Oakmont Town next to the lifeboat, they were talking to each other, and after noticing Li Zu coming, the expressions of the two became a little more strange, a little resistant and disgusted.

Of course, a lifeboat was nothing to Li Zu was curious about, but when he stared at the lifeboat, his brain ached, and there was a faint hallucination in front of him.

Terrifying monsters, thick octopus tentacles, pitch black and cold into the depths of the sea to the bone marrow.

The world's exploration has also grown a little harder.

0.2%,

The sharp pain and hallucinations came abruptly and disappeared quickly.

When the hallucination disappeared, Li Zu had fallen to the ground unconsciously, his body curled up.

"Outlander! Stranger! Hey! Are you okay? The two local townsfolk weren't too aloof, and they squatted down in front of Li Zu and patted him lightly on the cheek.

"Whew! Call! Call! Li Zu took a deep breath, trying to control the speed of his heart and the hallucinations that affected his judgment.

It took him a full two minutes before he managed to calm his breath.

It was not so much that he controlled the hallucinations and heartbeats himself, but that his heart consciously calmed down and the hallucinations quietly faded.

"It's really disobedient" Li Zu touched his heart, it was more convenient to replace this rebellious guy with a new heart.

"Where did this lifeboat, called the Titania, come from?" As soon as Li Zu sat up, he asked about the news of the lifeboat.

"The Titania, a local fishing boat, is usually moored at the N3 pier, but some time ago, the sea tide was high, and many sections of the road were covered by the sea, if you want to go there, you need a boat," said the man on the left, who seemed to be waiting for Li Zu to ask questions.

So when Li Zu asked the first sentence, that person couldn't wait to tell him everything.

"Those damn Innsmouth, since they've been here, not only has the whole town become weird, we can't even catch fish!" The other man cursed, and to listen to him, the so-called Innsmouth seemed to be the culprit in all this.

Seeing Li Zu standing up on his knees, shaking and preparing to leave, the townspeople told him again: "Stranger, you'd better find a place to hide, don't walk around." ”

"Of course, of course~" Li Zu lowered his head and walked towards the main road of Oakmont Town.

Walking out of the path, a few steps into the main road, came to the fierce "guards", the iron rods on their waists, as if they were also talking about their unique "right to use punishment for their own purposes".

When they walked in front of the group, a man with an orangutan face and a white gentleman's suit stepped out of the crowd.

"Outlander!"

He stopped Li Zu and said, "You're very unlucky, you can't leave here until the blockade is lifted!" No one can leave here! ”

"Mr. Sloegmorton, he's with me!"

Reed had just finished talking to the man in yellow, trotted over, and also helped Li Zu out of the siege. Although Li Zu has not suffered any unfair treatment.

"You are?" Orangutan looked at Reed with a face.

"Charles Reid, a detective, heard you're working on a condition in which hallucinations occur in the brain? That's why I'm here to town. ”

"I'm not going to help anyone now, my son is missing, I'm bent on finding him now! Unless you can help me find out where he is! "The orangutan-faced man looks like an aristocrat in the early twentieth century.

Smack~, Li Zu patted his forehead: "If you are playing a game, you will definitely hear a "ding" sound now!" ”

It's 1920, and no one understands "playing games", and a few people just look at him strangely. It was as if they were used to hearing crazy words, so they didn't ask Li Zu.

"Bruce and I are both detectives, maybe we can help you find your son!" Reed's words changed quickly, and he seemed to be aware of how powerful this guy with an orangutan face was in the local area, and this kind of information was closed and the transportation was not developed, and the old system still ruled everything.

Orangutan-faced Mr. Sloegmorton looked at Li Zu and then at Reed.

Two guys with pale faces, heavy dark bags under their eyes, and a decadent spirit.

"You detectives...... It's really easy to recognize" After Sloegmorton heard about their occupation, he also chose to relax: "My son Albert, who traveled with the Titania before, was discovered by a fisherman and said that he was driven back with a lifeboat. That lifeboat is nearby, if you can find more clues on it.

By the time I arrived, my son had disappeared! They say Albert went crazy, that's simply not possible, Albert has always been mild-mannered!

……”

After listening to the short introduction, Reed turned his head only to find Li Zu with his head down as if thinking: "Bruce, have you found anything?" ”

He didn't have a clue at all, but Li Zu seemed to have started the "investigation".

"Does your son look like that?" Li Zu raised his head and tugged at his cheeks, making himself look like an "orangutan".

This is utterly mockery.

"Boy, the ape-man bloodline is the glory of the family!!" Orangutan face growls.

"Really?" Li Zu scratched his cheeks, completely ignoring the iron rods that the guards had already pulled, but Reed, who was standing next to Li Zu, was sweating profusely.

He thought that Li Zu was thinking about the case, but he didn't expect Li Zu to only notice the other party's peculiar appearance.

"Let's go investigate, Mr. Sloegmorton, and I hope you'll tell me about it when we get back!" Reed dragged Li Zu away, lest he not die in a hallucination, but was beaten to death by the local squire and nobles.

Leaving the harbor and walking into the edge of the small town of Oakmont.

There are many residents, but there are not many pedestrians on the road.

"You'd better find a place to hide, Mr. Johannes has a good offer." Reed was afraid that Li Zu would continue to cause trouble.

Offending the local nobles will be life-threatening.

Although the two met in Pingshui, he didn't know why Li Zu came to this place, but Reed still had a lot of affection for Li Zu, who was on a boat in the same city.

"Okay, let's separate here" Li Zu was very straightforward, he put one hand in his pocket, and walked towards the town.

The nose twitched from time to time.

"What a weirdo," Reed couldn't help but say as he looked at Li Zu's departing figure.

He turned his head: "It's time to investigate!" ”
