Chapter 10: Urban Legends
Opening the old-fashioned laptop, Lu Mingfei originally planned to ask the well-informed Don first, but thinking that it was early in the morning in the United States, Lao Tang was estimated to be resting, so he could only ask later.
He searched on the Internet for a long time, only to find a forum dedicated to recording the city's big and small news, and after clicking in, all kinds of big and small news came into view.
Looking at this pile of useless news about cats, dogs, and babies, Lu Mingfei felt that his head was big, and after spending a lot of time, he finally screened out a few urban legends that seemed to be relatively credible.
In addition to those rumors that were fake at first glance and later confirmed to be man-made, there were only three rumors that were screened out: "Viaduct 0 on the Highway", "Night and Shadow of an Abandoned Factory Building", and "Mysterious Flames in a Suburban Cemetery".
After copying them all to a newly created document, Lu Mingfei began to look at them one by one.
The first rumor about Viaduct 0 is backed up by a real news story.
Four years ago, after Typhoon Dandelion passed through, an abandoned white Maybach was found on a viaduct on a motorway, with no one on it and a choledled body covered in scars.
Originally, this matter should be treated as a traffic accident, but the strange thing is that all the passengers on the vehicle are missing, and the damage on the body does not seem to be caused by a traffic accident, and there is no record of the entry and exit of this car at the entrance of Gaoshu Road.
At this time, someone recognized that the Maybach belonged to the boss of the bankrupt and ran away from the boss of the Media Asia Group, which was a famous brand enterprise in their city in the early years, and bought this Maybach to support the façade when it was in the middle of the day. Later, when he went bankrupt and ran away, he didn't take it away, and after the accident, the police were also looking for the boss of Huanya.
In the end, the police located the case as a traffic accident, and only the driver was missing. But in the eyes of paranormal enthusiasts, this is proof of the existence of viaduct 0.
Viaduct 0 was one of the city's famous urban legends before the accident, and many people claim to have seen Viaduct 0 on a rainy day, but disappeared when the weather was fine.
There is also a vague picture of the No. 0 viaduct in the document that Lu Mingfei searched: in the rainstorm, an elevated road was erected from the ground upwards and went into the fog.
Because it was a rainy day, and the shooting technology was not good, the photos were not very clear, but with Lu Mingfei's knowledge of the city, this viaduct was definitely not any of the existing ones. Although this is also suspected of falsifying the P map, he is still willing to believe this rumor.
"Is it a strange place that only appears in a rainstorm?" Lu Mingfei said silently.
In the knowledge of the Demon Dao in his mind, there are indeed otherworlds that only appear in certain circumstances, such as the legendary Avalon and the Shadow Country of Celtic, and he has seen it with his own eyes.
Avalon summoned by a nightmare magician; and the Shadow Country, summoned by Queen Skaha, one of his magic teachers.
If there is a mystery in this world, then the credibility of the No. 0 viaduct, which is the same as these aliens, is indeed very high.
After writing down this information, he looked at the rumor of the abandoned factory, which had happened in the past two years, and it was also related to the Media Asia Group.
After the boss of Media Asia ran away, all the assets of Media Asia Group were frozen by the municipal government, and the factory built by Media Asia Group in the factory area with great fanfare was naturally blocked and abandoned, and this second rumor is related to this abandoned factory.
Initially, the caretaker of the factory, a former employee of Media Asia Group, called the police to say that someone was wandering in the factory late at night, he thought it was the gangsters who came to steal the waste equipment to sell, but the next day he checked and did not lose anything, and at night when he was on normal patrol, he found that someone was wandering late at night, and then he was frightened and quickly ran out to call the police.
After the police came, they checked inside and out, found no others, squatted for a few days and did not harvest, and the factory was not lost, so they accepted the case.
Then the strange thing came, and there were supernatural enthusiasts who rumored to be wandering in the middle of the night to be the driver of the former boss of Huanya, that is, the Maybach driver who disappeared in the last rumor, and he wandered here because this was his former residence.
Then the supernatural enthusiasts organized a group to go to the abandoned factory to explore the spirit, and this exploration was really found out by them.
At first, they agreed to hide in the abandoned factory, and at night they secretly observed the mysterious figure, because they suspected that the factory keeper was playing tricks, so they didn't tell the keeper.
Then after evading the patrol of the guards at night, they squatted down to a mysterious figure.
But the next day, when they went to the caretaker with the photo, the caretaker denied that there was a mysterious wandering person, and told them to delete the photo or call the police.
Because the supernatural lovers are also illegal intrusions, they can only delete the photos and leave in disgrace.
When they returned, they posted on the Internet that they had photographed the mysterious figure in the abandoned factory and the different attitudes of the factory keepers before and after, which caused a heated discussion.
After all, the Maybach case was a well-known unsolved case at the time, and those who paid attention to it were naturally attracted by titles such as "The Ghost of the Maybach Driver".
Later, the police warned the paranormal enthusiasts that the matter would be closed after they deleted the post.
After reading it, Lu Mingfei felt that most of the statements said by the undead were false, and the guard's attitude before and after was different, so he could only say that he might be shielding the mysterious figure, and the identity of the mysterious figure was mostly related to the missing Maybach driver.
Since it is related to the Maybach of the No. 0 viaduct, the abandoned factory building was also arranged by Lu Mingfei into one of the sites for exploration.
The last rumor is not as hot as the first two, it is nothing more than a ghost fire in the cemetery, and then there are many witnesses and so on. And he chose this to naturally find out if there are really spirits in this world.
Lu Mingfei has fought with enemies such as spirits, most of the spirits are transformed after the death of life in the natural world, and the heroic spirit is also one of them, but with the blessing of legends and mysteries, ordinary spirits and heroic spirits are naturally incomparable.
Places where the dead sleep in cemeteries, such as the Graveyard, are easily given birth to spirits under the influence of spiritual veins, and the Illusory Dust dropped by spirits is a good material for making magic ceremonies.
Magic costumes are auxiliary props made by magicians to facilitate the use of magic, and their functions vary depending on the level of the magician and the quality of the materials used to make them.
Lu Mingfei has not made magic dresses since he came back, and the economic aspect is one reason, and the most important material aspect.
The magic he mainly uses is the Rune Rune Magic, which was developed from the Norse god Odin, and it is very simple to make a magic costume, just write the Rune Rune on the weapon or stone.
Normal weapons and rocks are fine, but they are a degraded version and are less than a tenth of the power.
In order to realize the full power of ceremonial clothing, the material requirements are extremely demanding, and the production of standard runestone requires natural rough stones.
The natural rough stone is still too far away for Lu Mingfei at present, but the Illusory Dust that can be made into paint by the drop of the spirit body can be fought for.
Of course, these prerequisites are the presence of spirits in this world. And he also has other magic tricks that he wants to experiment with spirits.
