Chapter 92: The Answer Is Revealed
"The business of the refinery suddenly took a turn for the worse, and even the town's economy began to deteriorate, and Captain Alder thought of the lead, so he told the townspeople that he had a way to bring gold and fish again, and at first there was opposition, especially one who had been on the island with him, but then those who opposed it were all sidelined, and Captain Alder could finally start resuming the refinery's business."
"But in '46, things were a little overwhelmed, there were too many missing people in the town, and many people saw those half-human, half-mermaid-like monsters crawling out of the water, so some people, including the city committee, began to resist, they contacted everywhere, gathered a large number of people, and finally Obaid and the twenty-three people who followed him were put in prison, but the trial against them did not have time to take place, in one night...... Countless black shadows crept out of the water to the shore, and the squares, churches, and ridges were filled with gunfire and screams until dawn, when half of the town was gone.
"Obaid and the twenty-three men came out of the prison, and the remaining half of the men, led by him, declared that a plague had struck the place, causing widespread death, yes, the plague was their excuse to cover it all up, and since then they have lost their restraint and finally slipped into the abyss of sin, and everything began to rot and die, especially when the first children began to grow up and start to show differences, and more and more people became ugly, and those monsters crawled in the dark attics and basements, There are fewer and fewer normal people in the town who can still see it, until today. ”
Fabricott's voice kept shaking, "I kept reassuring myself when I first heard these things, it was just old Allen's drunken nonsense, but after saying this, he suddenly grabbed my shoulder and told me that it was coming, and it was too late!" It was too late, it was too late, and I saw him rush headlong onto the distant breakwater and jump from it. ”
"Did anyone see him talking to you?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know, I was too panicked at that time, I should have saved him, normal people should have saved him, or at least to make sure he was dead, I mean he was stimulated because of me after all, although at that time I thought he had a mental problem, but I didn't, I just stood there, feeling like I was choked by something, and when I realized that everything was irreparable, I turned around and ran back to the square, wanting to take the eight o'clock bus to Arkham, But the driver suddenly told me that there was going to be a celebration in the evening, that the bus would be out of service for a day, and then I met you at the Gilman Lodge. ”
"Do you know what old Allen mentioned about it?"
"No, I don't have a clue, I'll tell you everything I know," said Fabricott, "and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes tonight, I wouldn't have believed that there really was such a strange and horrible thing in this world." I swear that tonight has given me more excitement than the oddities I've ever encountered in my life, and if we're lucky enough to get out of this place safely, I won't ever come back. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Heng with expectant eyes, "We can leave, right?" ”
Zhang Heng didn't answer in a hurry, he looked back in the direction of the breakwater, and the black shadows above were still standing there, motionless.
After that, Zhang Heng turned around and said to Fabricott, "You didn't tell me the truth. ”
"What do you mean?" Fabricott was stunned, "I can't hide anything in this situation, otherwise I'll be joking with my own life." ”
Zhang Heng didn't answer this question, and instead said, "I'm just curious about what you put so much effort into acting in such a play, just to let me see it?" ”
Fabricott's face remained stunned.
"You didn't come by bus," Zhang Heng said, "Actually, the bus never left here at all, I checked its wheels and the dirt on the wheels, judging from the degree of drying, it has not been touched for at least ten hours, and the same problem is with the grocery store, judging from the floating dust on the counter, I don't think it has been open in the last week, and you said that you talked to the employee brother there in the afternoon, and there are also those abandoned houses." ”
"Is there anything wrong with housing?" Fabricott asked.
"Some of them did collapse due to disrepair, but there were also some of them, especially some of the houses on the waterfront, which were blown up and could be seen to be significantly different from natural collapses, and in some parts of the town, I saw traces left by tank tracks."
"Did you find so much just after staying for so long?" Fabricott was surprised.
"I'm a little better than you think." Zhang Heng said, "So when is it now, when I first came here, I asked the first person who spoke to me, and he said that it was July 15, 1927, and the newspaper in the hand of the waiter at the front desk of the Gilman Hostel was a year ago, but the magazine on the table was also July 15th, and you seem to have been hinting to me in this way, today is July 15th, why?" There is something special about this day. ”
"No matter what day it is, everything you're working on is real, does that bring back any memories for you?" The young stranger asked rhetorically.
"It's better to save on word games or something." Zhang Heng said, "The young man in your story, did he escape from here in the end?" ”
"Did he escape?" The young stranger muttered to himself.
"I think I should have escaped, otherwise there would be no military intervention, the tank track marks on the ground, those old houses that were blown up, that's what happened later."
Hearing this, Fabricott finally stopped pretending, withdrew the surprised expression on his face, and exclaimed, "Your reasoning and observation skills are not only a little better than what you say, but there is one thing you said wrong. ”
"Please advise." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I am the young man, and the young man is indeed me, or who I used to be."
"Interesting, like you said before, usually people don't come back here for the rest of their lives after experiencing this kind of thing."
"That's true, but remember when we first met, I said that this trip was not only to see the natural scenery, to visit the historical sites, but also to study the family genealogy."
"You have the blood of this in your body?" Zhang Heng suddenly said, "Were you born here and left in your lifetime?" That's why I don't know anything about all this. ”
"Rather, my maternal great-grandmother, the illegitimate daughter of Captain Obaid Marsh from the Marsh family."
