Chapter 159: Red Moon
Since we were on other people's turf, some administrative entertainment was indispensable, and although I didn't want to deal with the official people, I went to meet the mayor of Terring, a chubby old man with gray hair. When we are active on his territory, we naturally have places to turn to him, such as the convenience of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and even, we may perform "full martial arts" here, and we also need him to provide weapons or other tools.
This old man's name is Steven, and he is a native of Utah, and Anne is actually his niece, which means that she is related to him. This has undoubtedly brought us closer together.
After meeting the old man, Anne arranged for us to stay at a country inn called Michella, which was a one-story bungalow, and the exterior wall was decorated with wood, which looked a little rough, but it was not as complete as the facilities inside. We had a single room for one of us.
When I saw Anne's men staying at the hotel, I couldn't help but be amazed, "Anne, are they going to join us too?"
Anne nodded, "Yes." Don't worry, they're not rookies, they're all elites I picked from the National Guard. I forgot to introduce you, this is Tom, this is Watson, this is Senger, this is Mary, this is Darwin. ”
I swept my gaze over the faces of these people one by one and shook hands with them one by one. Watson, I know, the one who was overturned by Huang Runran, who stepped on the clutch, and Darwin, the unlucky guy who was bitten off a piece of meat in the face by the black beetle. Now his face is still wrapped in gauze, and the gauze is still stained with blood, and he looks very shocked.
I had a friendly smile on my face, but I wondered a little in my heart: "Just these people, are they also elites?"
"Alright, Yang, we'll go to lunch later, and I'll cook the steak for you myself. Anne looked at me and smiled.
"Well, I'd love to try your grilled steak. The expression on my face relaxed. For some reason, as long as Anne is around, I feel relieved.
After lunch, I asked Anne about the "Ghost Capital Villa".
Anne replied, "Young, we must not go there until midnight." ”
I wondered, "Why?"
Anne said, "Because, it is only possible to find it at midnight." ”
"What? Why is this happening?"
"Because there are no villas in this vicinity, and even if there are, they can't be seen during the day! Only at midnight, and only at night, when there is a red moon and Sirius, can you see the villas of the ghost capital. Anne's expression was a little solemn.
"Oh my God, it takes so many conditions to be able to see it, and it's midnight, and there's a red moon, and the red moon has to be with Sirius...... Can this be all together?" my mind was filled with doubts.
"Yang, don't worry, there will be a red moon at midnight these days, and it will be the time when Sirius rises. Even if there will be no red moon, Sirius will appear on time. If there is no red moon tonight, then we can wait a few more days. ”
"I pray for a red moon tonight. "I drew a cross on my chest.
Anne laughed, "How can you learn from Westerners? Anne said, clasping her hands in front of her chest, closing her eyes, and chanting a sentence in Chinese: "Amitabha." ”
"Hehe...... "Anne and I both burst out laughing.
We spent the day doing nothing, doing little except to check our gear, and to go to the entrance of the town to enjoy the scenery and determine where the "Onidu Villa" might be.
The scenery of this town is still very beautiful, and to the south is a golden desert, dotted with many tall cacti, occasionally showing a red stone or two, and like a small island in the sea. The north and west sides are wooded and look lush and not at all desert environments, while to the east is a red cliff that is hundreds of meters high, which looks quite spectacular. But there was a large clearing between the town and the cliff, and I estimated that it was at least two to three miles away. This clearing is neither a desert nor a woods to the north and west, but a barren land with dwarf trees, scattered among the rocks, and the clearing between the stones is occupied by green lichen plants. As a result, it is barren but still full of life, making you realize that there is a thriving life here.
And life is the most beautiful scenery in the world!
For some reason, I had a vague feeling that this was probably the place where the "Ghost Capital Villa" appeared, because I always felt that there seemed to be some disturbing element lurking beneath this vibrant land!
What exactly is this disturbing factor?
It was getting dark.
However, we waited all night, but did not wait for the red moon.
The next night there was still no red moon. And I almost fell for the yellow run. He was holding up a piece of red glass and shouting, "Look, red moon!"
As a result, many people ran to see the moon through the red glass, and of course the moon we saw was red, but is this the red moon we were looking forward to? Heng Qi and the others scolded Huang Paopao, and I almost got angry, but in the end I held back.
Is it worth it to be angry that you don't have enough success and more than you can lose?
On the evening of the third day, when I was almost disappointed, Anne's eyes shot an excited light: "Yang, red moon, real red moon!"
I followed Anne's finger and saw a red moon hanging on the eastern hill, as red as a burning fire, like blood poured on by someone!
"Yang, I've placed mirrors on all sides, let's wait and see how the mirrors react. Anne said excitedly.
"Mirrors have been placed?" I couldn't help but pause, and then I understood. Anne and her men must have done a lot of preparation before we arrived. I couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Anne.
I stared intently at the red moon to see how it would react, and everyone else was waiting for it. There is an inexplicable excitement and tension in everyone's heart......
"Look, Yang, there's a change!" Anne suddenly raised her voice an octave.
I looked closely at the red moon, and saw that the surface of the red moon seemed to increase a little brighter, and then a red light shot from the surface of the moon, and this red light was shining on a bright blood-red star, which was the brightest star in the whole sky, Sirius!
In fact, the Moon is 380,000 kilometers away from the Earth, and Sirius is hundreds of millions of light-years away from the Earth, so even if there is light on them, it is not known how long it will take, let alone the naked eye to see them. The light that hits the Red Moon and Sirius is actually a mirror image of their reflection on the Earth's atmosphere.
But when it shines on their mirror image, a strange change occurs......
I saw red rays of light shoot out from all over the ground at the same time into the sky, and these rays weave and shuttle in the sky above us, forming a huge grid-like pattern, and then refracting and changing directions, and finally forming a focus somewhere, and then shooting a ray of light from the focus to the ground.
Anne stared at the light that was shooting from the focus to the ground and shouted, "Yang, this is there!"
Since I had already looked at the terrain during the day, I knew at a glance that it was the clearing in front of the red cliff to the east. My heart moved: "This is exactly what I imagined!"
However, before we could do anything, the red moon in the sky had been blocked by a cloud, and all the light was gone.
Rao is so, we are still like arrows from the string, we have to send!
A few minutes later, a dozen of us arrived in a clearing in front of the red cliff in five modified vehicles.
It was a dark place, there were no villas, not even a single building, just darkness and dead silence.
Of course, it's not that there is nothing to say. Because under the light of our flashlight, we can see dozens of stone monuments or crosses standing there. Behind the stele or cross are black rectangular bulges.
It turned out to be a cemetery!
There are so many dead people or graves that I have seen that for the cemetery in front of me, I can't cause any waves at all, on the contrary, I am a little numb.
But I heard a voice screaming, "Why are there so many graves here?"
I didn't look at it to know it was Huang Run. No one here would make such a fuss except for him.
"Annie, where is the villa?" I asked, looking at Annie.
Anne walked to a tall tomb and stopped (it was not so much a stone house as a stone house), she shone her flashlight at the huge stone tablet in front of the tomb, staring at the inscription on the stone tablet, silently reciting something.
"Anne, what is this?" The inscription was entirely in English, and I naturally couldn't understand anything because of my stinky level of English, so I could only hope for Anne's explanation.
Anne said: "This inscription has no special meaning, it is just a description of the life of the deceased, but there are a few words that I do not understand: she moans softly in the dark, her dream is chained, do not wake her dream, as soon as she wakes up, Nisis will come." ”
What does that mean? I was on the top for a moment. No one else can guess the mystery here.
"Brother, she's inside, but she seems to be asleep......" Yang Liu suddenly said at this time.
"What? who's in there? Who seems to be asleep?" I was startled again.
