Faust looked around in panic with a panicked expression, and the sweat on his face was pouring down like a torrential downpour.

He swallowed his saliva and glanced at Wang Feng: "Those things are not corpses, but chrysalis of insects......"

Wang Feng was also extremely shocked when he heard him say this: "How is it possible? ”

"There is nothing impossible in this world, those insects are more like breaking out of their bodies, and the corpses have become their nutrients." Faust took a deep breath: "It's terrible......"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at Wang Feng: "We have to find a way to destroy those corpses...... Otherwise, Watertown will be finished. ”

Wang Feng nodded, but the two of them had just come to Shuicheng, how did they know where the corpses were.

"Ruth ......"

Wang Feng suddenly thought of Ruth: "She once told me about it, so he must know where those corpses are now......"

"But do you know where she is now?"

Faust frowned.

Wang Feng patted his head, he forgot to ask Ruth's contact information.

"I don't know how to contact her when it's over......"

Faust was a little at a loss, he scratched his head and then said to Wang Feng, "You...... Using the fragments to condense into Ruth's shape, I'll see if I can find some clues. ”

Wang Feng did not hesitate to quickly control the fragment and transform it into Ruth.

Faust looked up and down, using Ruth from the fragments and began to analyze: "There is a stain on the corner of the mouth, I must have just eaten...... There is mud on the soles of the shoes...... But it didn't rain, which means she walked by the river......"

He sighed and took a closer look at Ruth's hair: "The hair is pale yellow, obviously corroded...... If that's the case, it's often ...... by the sea."

Faust nodded: "I already know where Ruth lives......"

Although he didn't know the detailed location, he could see the general location.

"So what are we going to do next?"

"Find her ......"

Faust turned and pushed the door open and left the closed alley, and Wang Feng followed.

The two of them returned to the ship first, and then prepared some things to look for Ruth, and Conan Doyle was awakened by their movement, rubbed his eyes, and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"You've already investigated, so fast? It's only seven o'clock...... When did you go? ”

Conan Doyle looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"We went to ...... early in the morning"

Wang Feng put on his backpack and went out without returning.

Conan Doyle looked at Wang Feng's back: "What are you anxious about?" He looked at Faust again, and Faust walked out: "You want to go too?" ”

Faust glanced at Conan Doyle and didn't say a word.

"Why are you so indifferent? Didn't I just not go with you to investigate? But as for this? ”

Conan Doyle sighed, then collapsed on the bed.

Wang Feng and Faust did not stop, they came to the place where they rented a car as soon as possible, rented a car and began to walk all the way around the border of the water city.

Faust didn't say a word all the way and looked extremely indifferent, and Wang Feng sat there without saying a word, looking at the scenery outside the window, he was also a little uneasy.

The water city is not big, at best it is just a small island, and the two of them are very fast because they rented a car, and it didn't take long to turn half the way.

"It can't have anything to do with Moritia, right?"

Wang Feng felt that all the bizarre ** he encountered was almost inseparable from Moritia, and it was precisely because of this that he felt that this ** was also related to Moritia.

Faust shook his head: "It shouldn't matter. ”

So he pulled a cigarette out of his bosom and lit it.

"This is a purely unexpected situation...... But that's the trickiest thing I've ever encountered...... If those bugs are allowed to come out of the corpses, Watercity will cease to exist, everyone will be replaced, and this place will become a nightmare...... Anyone who lives in the city of water will not be spared. ”

Wang Feng heard this, but Ruth's appearance kept appearing in his mind, no matter what, he had to stop it, it was the girl who was protecting him before, and now it was time to protect her.

At this moment, Faust directly stepped on the brakes, and Wang Feng did not have any preparation and crashed headlong in front.

"Why did you suddenly hit the brakes......"

Wang Feng touched his head and looked at Faust, who pointed out the window.

"What do you see is that?"

Wang Feng turned his head to look, only to see countless corpses floating on the sea, emitting a strong stench, and the sea water had turned black.

The two hurriedly got out of the car to check.

"Why haven't so many bodies been found?"

Wang Feng was even more puzzled, it stands to reason that so many corpses should be found and attract attention, but the two of them have never heard relevant reports.

Faust looked around: "It's so remote that no one usually comes here...... Of course, no one will find out. ”

He walked down the ramp, took out the white gloves from his bosom, put them on, and braved the stench to the corpses.

The corpse had been soaked in the sea, and its size was even larger and bizarre, and it did not look like a human corpse, but a monster's corpse.

"These

The corpses must have been the ...... of those bloodsucking bugs."

Faust turned a corpse with its back to the two of them, only to feel a little fluffy, not at all like the weight of a corpse.

The front of the corpse was already riddled with holes, and there were still many maggots crawling there.

The flesh and bones inside were gone.

"This is not a corpse...... It's the chrysalis of those bugs. ”

Faust slowly stood up and was in the distance: "These guys have broken out of the chrysalis......"

The worst thing happened, and no one knew what fate Watercity would face.

"And where have these monsters gone?"

Wang Feng was even more worried about the whereabouts of the monsters in this skin, he looked at this sea of corpses and couldn't help but be a little worried, if a corpse would give birth to a bloodsucking worm, then these corpses would mean that a huge swarm of insects appeared, and a bloodsampire worm would make everyone panic, what kind of scene would that group of bloodsuckers be? Wang Feng couldn't imagine that kind of scene at all, but he knew better than anyone else that the survival of mankind might be in this moment.

"Fill your stomach...... Breaking out of the chrysalis is a very physically demanding thing, so they have to find some food to replenish their physical strength......"

Faust said that he took off his gloves and returned to the car: "This water source has been infected ......"

Something suddenly occurred to him: "The water source is infected...... These bugs...... Headwaters...... They have to go to the water source and sow the eggs, and that's the only ...... in order to reproduce their own offspring and carry forward the population......"

"They're going to ......"

Faust hurriedly ran to the rented car, and then shouted to Wang Feng: "Hurry up...... There's no time to delay......"

"Are we going to find Ruth now or go straight to the water source?"

"Finding ...... water"

Faust naturally knew that the water city was surrounded by seawater, so the water source was very single, and if the target was to the water source, then the two would be very relaxed.

"I don't think this disaster in the water city is groundless, maybe there are legends about it before...... It's just that no one cares. Maybe Watertown was the place where these monsters were sealed in the first place, and the people who stayed in Watercity were just trying to hide the facts......"

Faust rubbed his head, only to feel that his head was splitting now, as if it was about to explode.

The car slowly drove towards town, and the two of them also dismissed the idea of looking for Ruth.

"But where is the water source in Water City?"

Wang Feng looked at Faust, and Faust shook his head to show that he didn't know.

"By the way, do you know the origin of Watertown?"

"I don't know."

Wang Feng shook his head and said that he didn't know the origin of Shuicheng, and he was also very curious, why did Fushuide say this to himself?

"It all started a long time ago, when there was an unprecedented flood...... This flood washed away many places, and it was reasonable to float strange objects...... These objects were deposited in a certain place, and finally formed small islands, which is the origin of the water city. ”

Faust talked about the origin of the water city, and Wang Feng on the side was stunned for a moment: "Strange objects? ”

"There have been three bizarre things that happened in Watertown, and this incident is no different from other rumors, but I haven't cared about it...... But when analyzed, they all seem to have originated in one world, and that is the Great Flood. In the aftermath of the Great Flood, many people claimed to have seen one or more disturbing and strange objects, and these sightings** led many to speak of forgotten hidden legends. ”

Faust looked at Wang Feng and then said, "And these legends have become more and more intense in connecting the sighting** with those primitive and crude legends. ”

Wang Feng did not speak, but quietly listened to Faust's narration.

"People thought they were seeing some organic life that had never been seen before, and of course in that human tragedy, the flood came and there were many human corpses, but the people who claimed to have seen the strange corpses were pretty sure that, despite their resemblance to humans in size and general outline, they were definitely not human, and could not be animals."

"Is there any physical appearance associated with that?"

"Hmm!"

Faust nodded: "They are probably shameless in length, and then they have a pink outer mons with a dorsal fin or membranous wings...... and many pairs of jointed limbs, but what should have been the head is a folded ellipsoid, with numerous very short tentacles on it. Although the sources of this information vary, they are highly consistent, but given the widespread spread of ancient legends in this area, the vivid and terrifying picture depicted is likely to render all the eyewitnesses...... I didn't associate it with that at first, and now it seems that I was negligent. ”

Faust couldn't help but blame himself a little in his heart, although he also suspected this matter, but the water city has always been very peaceful, and nothing strange has happened** except for this time.

"I wasn't so surprised when I thought about it, so I came to the conclusion that the witnesses in each series were villagers, and all they saw in the rapids were swollen mutilated bodies of humans or animals...... Folklore lurks in the memory and adds a fantastical element to that sad thing. ”

In Faust's eyes, the old folklore is obscure and has been forgotten by most contemporaries, and it has a very different peculiarity, clearly influenced by older legends.

"There are many legends about this place from the very beginning...... It's just just a legend, and nothing terrible happened...... Now I understand that something has happened, but people don't notice it. ”

Wang Feng heard so much and understood it in his heart

These bugs came to this place because of the great flood, and then they piled up and slowly formed an island.

And the island began to take shape, and those things were buried underground, and at first there were a few surviving bugs that escaped the catastrophe and were seen by humans, leaving behind legends.

And they have also changed their forms during this time.

"I used to collect oral material from the crowd that almost exactly matched the stories I had heard in previous surveys...... There was a line of footprints on a beach that resembled monsters, or strange rings made of stones, and the rings and ten pieces were not originally made by nature...... I might not be so upset by now if the scattered accounts of these monsters weren't so consistent, but almost all rumors have a few things in common...... They are huge, like flies, surgically bright red, with many legs, and a pair of large bats that resemble wings on their backs, and they walk on all their legs, sometimes only on the last two, and the rest of their limbs carry large objects of unknown purpose...... At one point, some people saw this group of monsters, and they were lined up in a row of three in an apparently disciplined line......"

Faust gasped at this, for the monsters seemed to be content with a life of non-interference with humans, and he had forgotten about it.

"There are actually monsters all over the world...... The most complete and vivid of these is the Pennacook myth, which says that the intended person came from the constellation Ursa Major in the sky......"

Faust didn't go on.

After Wang Feng heard this, there were only two words to describe his feelings, which was bizarre.

"Such an important thing. Why didn't you tell me before? ”

He looked at Faust and questioned.

And Faust is a little embarrassed, not because he doesn't want to talk about it, but because some things have really been forgotten.

"I do blame it...... I hadn't thought of that much before, but when I put everything together, I realized that these things are actually the same thing......"

He exhaled.

"I seem to have written to Tesla about this before, and Tesla seems to know what it is, and told me that as long as I don't touch the bottom line of those monsters......"

It's been a long time since the Flood happened, and if it weren't for it, Faust wouldn't have remembered anything about the Flood at all.

Hearing this, Wang Feng was even more puzzled, and he thought of the stone tablet in the basement of Henry Bacon before, and the ghost ship he had encountered.

These two events may not seem to be related to the event at hand, but they both have one thing in common, which is about the Great Flood.

"I had seen a huge stone door in the basement of Henry Bacon's castle, which had been washed away by a great flood...... And I also encountered a ghost ship before, which also seems to be related to the Great Flood...... The Flood connected almost everything. ”

Wang Feng hurriedly told Faust about this.

Faust nodded: "Yes, I also thought that the great flood was just the most ordinary great flood, but now it seems that it is not as simple as I imagined, this great flood connects everything, at least in the current timeline, almost everything that happened originated from this great flood...... Maybe it wasn't a disaster for nature in the first place......"

Wang Feng nodded.

"According to the earliest legends, these monsters only seem to harm humans who rush into their territory, but in some accounts, they will observe humans with curiosity, and even try to establish secret bases in the human world, and there are rumors that people wake up early in the morning to find strange shifts in their windows, and shuttle locations outside of their haunted areas, and occasionally humans disappear mysteriously, and even lone women on named trails or driveways to hear buzzing and buzzing, and the voice of the voice is like they give an astonishing invitation." Faust paused: "In the middle of nowhere, it is not uncommon for children to be splashed or heard in their homes. ”

Peeling back the cocoon layer by layer, in the last layer of legends separated from superstitions and taboos, Wang Feng seems to have found something shocking.

"In other words, these monsters weren't what they are in the first place...... So why are they like this now? ”

"I've heard a shocking story about a farmer in a film and remote area, at some stage of his life, who experienced a terrible change in spirit, and others avoided them, secretly saying that they had betrayed themselves to strange creatures......"

Wang Feng felt that things were bizarre and unacceptable: "What are those monsters?" ”

"As for the answer to those monsters, exactly? Naturally, they are all sorts of things, often referred to as those things or ancient things, and have had other names at different times in different regions, and most people regard them as servants of the devil, and reverent theological speculations are made around them. ”

Faust told Wang Feng everything he knew: "Of course, all these bizarre stories gradually died out after entering the 19th century, and occasionally came back to life, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about them...... Because time forgets everything. ”

"What else do you know about these monsters?"

Faust thought for a moment and then said: "With my extensive reading and my own collection of folklore, I have long been familiar with these conditions, so that in times of the Flood, when rumors begin to get into trouble, it is easy to guess what kind of imaginary soil gave rise to these so-called legends, and I have gone to great lengths to explain them to others, but no one agrees with me...... The so-called myths conform to a well-known pattern that is common to all mankind. The imaginative experience of early civilization always created the same type of fantasy. ”
