The officer's eyes flashed and he smiled: "What you said makes a lot of sense. We'll take notice. ”

Chang Wei watched the change in the officer's expression, and his heart was extremely bright.

It seems that the officer knew something, too—perhaps he had experienced events of the same nature before.

That is to say, this world is really not simple.

"To be on the safe side, I don't recommend you move tonight." Chang Wei smiled and said: "It should be fully prepared for daytime action, safe and reliable." ”

The officer smiled: "Yes. We weren't going to move overnight. We're just in the lead, and there's a lot more to come, and there's a lot more to come. ”

"That's good." Chang Wei nodded. I thought in my heart that they would make a big show this time, and in the end they would return in vain, and I didn't know what their expressions would be when they came.

"There shouldn't be anything for us here." Officer Linda and I decided to go back to Mill Town tomorrow. If necessary, feel free to call the police station in Grind Fang, and Linda and I will be at your disposal. ”

"Perhaps." The officer didn't mean to stop him, he stretched out his hand: "My name is Hanks." ”

"Chang Wei."

The two shook hands.

What happened next really had nothing to do with Chang Wei and Linda. Only Jules obeyed the whole time. Chang Wei and Linda went back to rest.

Linda was still very strange and asked Chang Wei: "I thought they would let us take them to the lake." ”

Chang Wei said: "They are very cautious and not reckless. It was difficult to deal with that monster at night, and they were not prepared, and the personnel were not ready. ”

"Then we—" Linda hesitated.

"We'll be back to Mill Town tomorrow." Chang Wei said.

"Return? Do they allow it? ”

"I asked Major Hanks. He had no intention of hindering. They can summon us at any time if needed. We're cops, and the mill town isn't far away, right? ”

"Understood."

Early the next morning, Chang Wei got up, washed up, went downstairs with Linda for breakfast, and then went to the police station.

Jules happened to be at the police station, she had not rested all night, and she looked very tired.

"You're going back?"

Chang Wei nodded: "Yes, there is probably nothing to do with us here." ”

"It's good to go back." Jules sighed: "I have to thank you, especially you, often, without you, I would have been even more difficult, and even lost my life." You know I have three children and I don't want to leave them. ”

"You'll be fine." Chang Wei hugged her: "Jules, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Jules sent the two to the door, watched their police cars go away, and sighed for a long time.

When the police car drove out of the intersection of Lakeside Town, there was a checkpoint set up by soldiers. No entry or exit is prohibited. Fortunately, Changwei and they were not among them, and after passing smoothly, they went all the way north, along the Binhu Highway, and went to the mill town.

At nine o'clock, Chang Wei and Linda finally returned to the Mill Town Police Station.

As soon as he returned, Duke called the two to his office.

"Coffee? Water? ”

Chang Wei smiled: "You only have coffee here." ”

Duke shrugged: "Then one person has a cup of coffee and makes it himself." Brew a cup for me. ”

Linda took over the task.

"I already know about Lakeside Town." "The appearance of piranhas was really unexpected, and the tourism festival in Lakeside Town could not be held in a short period of time. ”

He looked a little happy, but also a little tangled.

Chang Wei knew that Duke was a little jealous that Lakeside Town could host a tourist festival, but Mill Town couldn't. Now that the tourism festival in Lakeside Town is gone, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

After all, although Mill Town is not in a position to hold a tourism festival, the tourism festival in Lakeside Town can also have some impact on Mill Town, for example, some tourists will choose to visit Mill Town after visiting Lakeside Town. Now that the festival is gone, the mill town doesn't even have the benefit of this little bit of marginality.

But the point is not here, the point is that Duke doesn't know about the mermaid and water monster.

This is not surprising, the government prohibits the spread of things about mermaids and water demons, and naturally has its way.

Linda and Chang Wei glanced at each other, and she said, "Duke, the piranha incident in Lakeside Town is just the surface, behind the piranha, there are incredible things. Duke, remember the story you once told me? ”

"Story?" Duke's expression moved, and the hand holding the coffee cup tightened: "What story?" ”

"Water Monster, or mermaid." Linda pursed her lips: "Duke, we encountered a mermaid and water demon. ”

Duke sat up straight all of a sudden: "Mermaid and water demon?!" ”

Linda said, "Yes, mermaid water demon. It's exactly like what you have in your story. Ugly, terrifying, can use magic, can drive fish. ”

Duke froze for a moment, then leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes slightly.

After a long time, he said: "It's only thirty-five years, it shouldn't be..."

Chang Wei's heart was very bright.

Sure enough, Duke knew.

"What do you know? Duke! When Linda heard him say this, she was amazed and said, "Thirty-five years? Could it have happened before?! ”

Duke sighed and nodded, "Yes, something did happen thirty-five years ago. The mill town was also founded after that incident. ”

After saying this, he suddenly said, "Linda, you go out first." ”

Just as she was about to find out some secrets from Duke's mouth, when she heard this, Linda opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but in the face of Duke's determined eyes, she finally went out helplessly.

Duke asked Chang Wei to close the door and open his eyes, his eyes revealing memories, and there was a trace of fear lingering in the memories.

"Gods exist, demons exist, legends, all exist." Duke seemed to whisper, "Chang, you know, I've seen them." But they are not what people think, merciful or noble, they are the devil, they are the beings who destroy the world. ”

Chang Wei's eyes sparkled, and he listened attentively.

Their time has passed, but how can they be willing? If it were human, human beings would not be willing. Duke smiled, with fear and mockery in his smile: "So they want to destroy the present and create the past." And what do we do? ”

What are we going to do?

Chang Wei's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but say, "The government knows, right?" ”

Duke nodded, "Of course they do. In order to keep this world, they compromise with those devils, and even look for outsiders with bad intentions. In fact, the establishment of the mill town is one of the products of the three-way confrontation. ”

Gods and devils! Outsiders!

These two words rippled back and forth in Chang Wei's heart—it seemed that the world was more complicated than he had imagined.

"I want to be quiet. I don't want to go on right now. Duke said, "Chang, come back in the afternoon, I'll talk to you." ”

Chang Wei nodded and left.

After the door closed, Duke's tall, fat body shrunk up on the couch, trembling, and cursed over and over again: "Damn, it's popping up again!" ”
