Monceau didn't seem to expect such an attitude from me, and he was stunned for a moment, then let out a long sigh of relief.

I asked him, "What do you mean when you say the town disappears?" ”

If you take it literally, he should mean that an entire town disappeared out of thin air overnight, but I think this kind of thing is too mysterious, so I wondered if there was a problem with my understanding.

Monceau's answer was even more mysterious: "The whole town, and the tens of thousands of people in it, disappeared completely overnight, and a city that had been shouted for was reduced to nothingness, leaving only hills and forests, and not only the town and its people, but even all the records of the town in the historical records, disappeared without a trace, as if the town had never existed." ”

Even the relevant records in the historical materials have disappeared?

!

But when Monceau said this, he was sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying.

I folded my hands again and fell into deep thought, trying to deduce why such a town had suddenly disappeared.

But this is far beyond my common sense, and no matter how I think about it, I don't think it can happen.

After a brief moment of silence, Monceau spoke again: "The history of the town of Gaya is very peculiar, the word 'Gaya' alone is not pure English, it comes from a special script that blends the Rune script with the Hebrew language, which was the official lingua franca of the blood people between the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries. ”

A very special town, but there is no record of it in any historical sources, which in itself is a very nonsense thing.

Ordinary things are easy to be forgotten by history, but unique things can always be remembered, not to mention that this town has disappeared so far, that is, six or seven hundred years, unlike Pompeii, because it disappeared too long, and it was buried too thoroughly by lava and volcanic ash, until later generations excavated the ruins of the ancient city again, the world has not been able to confirm its existence.

I asked Monceau: "How did that town you mentioned disappear?" ”

Monceau shook his head: "I don't know, when it disappeared, my master was traveling in the East, and by the time he returned, the town was gone." ”

"That'...... Could it be that your master is misremembering, for example, that town never existed in the first place......"

Before I could finish speaking, Monceau interrupted me with a shake of his head: "No, I was born near York, and in our day I can still hear some legends about the town of Gaia. And in the last 500 years, the town of Gaya has been found many times, sometimes in the depths of the dark jungle, sometimes in the mist, and once near ancient temples in Hokkaido, and there is evidence that the vanished city has not been cut off from the outside world. ”

The more I listened, the more I wondered, "What does it mean that I haven't cut off contact with the outside world, and there are still living people in the town?" ”

Monceau nodded very dryly: "Not only are there living people, but the living conditions of the locals are no different from those outside." What we had, they had. ”

I'm already confused: "Both? ”

"There's electricity, there's electrical appliances, there's modern transportation like cars, and there's even the subway. ”

I thought it was outrageous, and I wanted to laugh a little, but when I saw Monceau's expression, I couldn't laugh, and finally I just responded in a dry tone: "You are kidding, how is this possible!" ”

Monceau put on an unusually solemn expression: "I hope it's impossible, but that's the way it is." ”

"You've been in?"

"Nope."

"And how do you know what that town looks like?"

"Because since the 14th century, the people of the town have always wanted to get in touch with the master, and he will occasionally tell me about the situation in the town, and where the town has appeared, but every time the owner looks for it, the town has disappeared, leaving only a large mess and ashes, and after the master disappeared, that person contacted me for a while, until five years ago, he said that there was a terrible man who wanted to recruit him, and since then, I have not heard from him."

"He's from the town?"

"Yes."

"And like you, you have lived for hundreds of years without dying?"

"Yes."

"How did he contact you?"

"In the early years, he used flying pigeons to pass on books, and the pigeons he raised could find their owners accurately every time, and then by telegraph, he always knew where we were."

"The more I listen to it, the more unrealistic it becomes, could it be that someone is playing a prank on you."

"Who would spend hundreds of years doing such a prank? Besides, no one knew that my master and I were looking for the town. ”

"That'...... Since this person can contact you, then he should be able to leave the town easily, and he didn't say that someone was recruiting him, listening to that, he has already followed that person out of town, otherwise why wouldn't he contact you later? Since he can come out, he doesn't need to send a telegram or a flying pigeon to pass the book, how good it would be to take you directly to the town, anyway, he will always know your location. ”

"No, he didn't want us to find the town, for him, guiding us to find the town was like a little game he played after dinner, he kept giving us hints, but never told us the answers, and whenever we returned in vain, he would write to laugh at us, full of ridicule and contempt for us. And we've always suspected that he made the whole town disappear into thin air. ”

Listening to Monceau's words, you have a very strange feeling, either he is crazy, or you are crazy, when he speaks, his tone is very urgent, and then think of the content of these words, it is really no different from crazy words, but when he says these words, his heart is not empty at all, and his face is serious, and it gives people an undoubted feeling, so that you can't help but believe his words.

I tried to sort out some clues from Monceau's words, but the more I combed them, the more confused my mind became, and after a long time of tossing, I had to disarm and surrender.

No, there are so many things that don't make sense, and with my knowledge, I can't figure it out at all.

At the end, I asked Monceau only one question: "Who did you say, call such a man away?" ”

Menceau's face sank: "Wu Lin." ”

When he said this name, I suddenly felt that everything seemed to have become reasonable, and any of the things that our Boss Wu did was reasonable, no matter what it was, but whenever he was involved, it would inevitably become extremely unreasonable, and in his case, it was unreasonable, that is, reasonable.

I'm also convinced, I've never seen this person from beginning to end, but I've been going around the Uchikai for so long, but I can hear his name all the time, and I've found a major pattern, that is, every time someone mentions him in front of me, I'm bound to encounter something inexplicable.
