Chapter 115: Origin
"A dreamer who doesn't want to work?" Anna continued to read the speech.
"Now the magic show is very popular and very profitable, as long as I learn it, I can live in a big house and eat steak every day......"
Seeing this, Anna's hand trembled, "I really thought you had a lot of dreams, it turned out that it was still for money, so don't you just make a dream of being a business owner, why do you spend so much time." ”
The paper continues to record Andres's mental journey:
"Today is the twenty-fifth day of my practice of card tricks, I heard the teacher say that talented people can learn in half an hour, and those who are not talented can get started in three or five days, but I have been practicing for twenty-five days, practicing every day until late at night, why can't I learn it?"
"Am I that stupid? If this continues, when will the dream come true? ”
"Abba Aba...... I've finally learned how to play card tricks! Next is the pigeon trick, but I don't have the money to pay for the tuition, it's so expensive to learn magic......"
Anna flipped through the script, and the back was empty.
"Why is it gone?" Anna folded the paper and put it in her pocket, then rummaged through the other papers on the table, "fragmented memories that show that Andres's consciousness is often in disarray......
"There it is!" Anna saw an archive box with the label reading "Resident Files".
Logically speaking, there must be information about the townspeople's residents in it, but Andres can't be distracted from creating so much information, so most of the content is his own.
Anna ripped open the white cotton thread that bound the file, however, to her surprise, it was filled to the brim.
She picked up a copy and looked at it.
"Anne Bipos, Nancy Claire, ......"
Anna flipped through them one by one, and each file was densely packed with the basic information of these people, including the date of birth, home address, educational background, etc......
"Date of birth: March 1889, Date of birth May 1892, Date of birth April 1867......"
Anna's face became more and more ugly the more she flipped through until she flipped to a familiar name:
"Andres Victor, born January 1902......"
There is also a black-and-white photograph attached to the file, which, although not clear, is legible enough.
"This Andres was originally a person of this era, so the supernatural cane was made from the era in which he once lived......
"In 1920, Andres was 18 years old, what did that mean......"
Anna then flipped through Andres' file.
"Family members, parents died young, grandpa raised alone, but grandpa died in 1920......"
It was as if a thunderbolt had passed through the silent night.
Anna suddenly figured it all out.
That supernatural cane was a relic of his grandfather.
It's the same as those trickster families that existed in the Republic of China era in China.
This Andres also belongs to that kind of family.
It's just that the inheritance of this cane is obviously wrong, and Andres has not mastered how to use it well.
At least while his grandfather was holding a cane, the town was still functioning normally.
There are two possibilities.
One is that Andres's grandfather died before he could teach him the correct way to use it.
The second is Andres's greed, which makes him use supernatural powers beyond the normal range, causing the inheritance method to fail.
Anna prefers the second option, but she needs more evidence to corroborate.
But time was running out, and as you could see in the mirror, the crowd was gradually returning, and many people had already reached the square in the center of the town.
It's not far from the town hall.
Anna didn't want to leave like that, the golden cloak was still on her anyway, so she wasn't too scared.
She went downstairs first and placed an ice pick directly at the gate, covering the surrounding area with frost for several meters, so that all the doors and windows on the first floor could not be opened.
Anna then went back upstairs and continued to check the materials.
Soon, the first clerks of the town hall returned.
They walked to the door, and were slowed down by the frost on the ground, slowing their movements.
But these people were blocked by the ice picks, and just took the key out of their arms and tried to find the keyhole and insert it.
They just mechanically think that as long as the door can't be opened, it's a door lock, and they don't have the flexibility to identify and judge the problem at all.
There aren't many people who work at the city hall, and there are only a dozen staff members in such a large town, including the mayor.
Now these dozen or so people are stuck outside the door on the first floor and can't get in.
If nothing else happens, they will probably have to wait until the next day after the reset before they can go to work.
Anna was also able to continue to do her own thing.
Andres's file doesn't have much content, and an 18-year-old young man won't have much experience.
Besides, the young men in this kind of town in this era are basically like street walkers, with a low level of education, no big city, and very short-sighted.
"That's the explanation...... Anna held the information and thought in her mind, "The young people of that era, the big people I've seen in my life, except for the mayor, I'm afraid they are those circuses and magicians who occasionally pass through the town." ”
"I learned from Smith that this town is very remote, and in the old days when transportation was very inconvenient, people here probably really had very little communication with the outside world."
"So when he had this cane, it was only natural that Andres was eager to use it to make his dreams come true."
Smith: They drive in modern cars, Ford, GM, and it takes an hour to get to the nearest bustling town, and they still drive on asphalt.
In the 1920s, what about horse-drawn carriages?
This is the central part of Kalme, where no man's land is everywhere, and the vast land is extremely sparsely populated.
It is normal for people with supernatural powers to not know how to maximize their value.
"But there are still loopholes...... Anna gently rubbed her temples, "something happened in 1920, why did such a barrier only form in recent months, why was it okay in the previous decades?" ”
By the time Sokolovsky first performed the paranormal interference, the town had already revealed its modern form.
"No, it's not that the previous decades were fine, but ......" Anna contacted the situation in the country, "but the supernatural events of that era were all resolved." ”
It is also a secret of the Republic of China era.
Why did Kalmei, thousands of miles away, also happen in the same time period as the Republic of China?
And since the supernatural event in the town had been solved at that time, why did it reappear decades later?
Anna checked the rest of the mayor's office, and there was really not much paperwork.
