"Innsmouth? I haven't heard of it. ”

Neil shook his head as he smoked his pipe.

"Have you heard of Jamie Iverson?"

Lu Mingfei asked again.

Jamie Iverson is the name on the crew's ID.

"No, we don't have this person in town."

This time Neil said without much thought.

He lived in the town all his life and knew all the inhabitants well.

"Look at this picture."

Lu Mingfei took out a somewhat yellowed photo.

Randolph Carter was not an investigator a few decades ago, and he did not know the origin of the crew.

Later, because of other more interesting events, I put this incident in the corner of my memory.

If they hadn't asked about it, he might have remembered such an experience when he wrote his memoirs.

Naturally, however, Randolph Carter will not be completely unprepared.

Before the cremation, he took pictures of the crew with his camera.

"Isn't this Sean, how do you have a picture of him?"

Neil said in surprise.

"Is this from your town?"

Lu Mingfei did not answer his question.

"Yes, it's from our town, but he left town as a teenager to wander outside and never came back. He's dead? ”

Neil asked faintly.

"Yes."

"What did he do out there? Where did he die? ”

Neil asked again.

"As a seaman, he died in an Australian hospital."

Lu Mingfei replied.

"The expected ending."

Neil pouted.

There will always be young people like Sean in the town who are not willing to be lonely, but in the end, there are very few who return home.

"Does he still have family in town?"

Lu Mingfei asked again.

"Yes. Why are you asking about this? ”

Neil was wary again.

"Yes, Professor Randolph Carter, the vice president of our college, was a close friend of Sean during his lifetime, and his body was cremated in accordance with his will after his death."

"Now Professor Carter wants to send Sean's ashes back to his hometown for burial, so he commissioned us to investigate first."

Connie explained.

"I see, I said how can someone come to investigate in a small place like ours."

Neil smiled.

"We're mainly here to do research, which is a passing task. However, "

Connie argued.

"Alright, needless to say, I'll take you to Marsh's house."

Neil looks like he's seen through everything.

The Marsh family used to be a prominent family in the town, and one-third of the village's property was his.

But since more than a hundred years ago, the situation of the Marsh family has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and by the time of Sean Marsh's generation, there is nothing left except the ancestral mansion.

That's probably why Sean Marsh wants to go out and explore.

This was Neil's speculation, and Lu Mingfei felt that there was something else hidden.

The size of the town is not very large, and a group of people walked for ten minutes to Arthur Street, which is located on the south side.

This street is once a luxury residential area, and several famous families live here.

However, as times changed, even a conservative person like Neil preferred to live north of the town, close to the road, and the place became deserted.

Until now, apart from a few poor ghosts who are still willing to live here, the only one is the Marsh family.

"Well, the biggest house is theirs."

Neil pointed to the five-story mansion at the end of the street.

"It's not easy for them, and the little money they earn is used to repair the house."

He sighed.

The Marsh family didn't do much when they were still open, so the townspeople didn't hate their family, but gloated a little at best.

"The Marsh family is also stubborn, and they refuse to let us help every time they repair the house. Everyone has been neighbors for hundreds of years, and there's no shame in that. ”

Neil shook his head at the Marsh family's death-saving behavior.

And Lu Mingfei heard something different.

Not letting the people in the town help repair the house may be because you can't let go of your self-esteem, or you may be afraid of revealing some secrets.

At this moment, his ears suddenly twitched slightly.

"There's a car moving."

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang said almost at the same time.

"Brother Chu Zihang, you take a company to chase."

He said immediately.

Since the number of warbands has increased, Lu Mingfei has organized the combat members.

One is Fingal, Eri Yi, Gen Girl, and Zero.

The second company is Akina Sakai, May, Takar, and Natsumi.

"Yes."

Chu Zihang immediately led a company to charge in the direction of the sound of the car.

And Lu Mingfei rushed to the Marsh family's mansion with the second company.

"You are, uh."

Neil was shocked and was about to ask questions, but he was hit hard in the back of the head.

Connie Windsor withdrew his knife and caught the limp mayor by the way.

"Mr. Mayor, you can get some sleep."

He said, then looked in the direction of the two waves.

"It's so terrifying to hear, but it's hard to understand that the spirit of the word is a sickle? But isn't Chu Zihang's words Jun Yan, why can he hear it? ”

Connie was puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity.

The task given to him by the patriarch is to accompany Lu Mingfei and solve the problems they encounter within the scope of his authority, and he will not do anything superfluous.

The information Connie had learned showed that anyone who did something superfluous would not end well.

Lu Mingfei directly crashed into the heavy door of the mansion, and the oak door more than ten centimeters thick was directly shattered.

He looked around the hall, where several men with guns were hiding in the corner, looking nervously at him.

"You trespassed into the house, and we have called the police. Get out of here, or we'll shoot. ”

The middle-aged man at the head shouted, his voice slightly distorted from fear.

"Are you sure the police are coming to arrest you?"

Lu Mingfei scoffed.

In order to transport equipment, he also learned about the relevant laws in the United Kingdom.

UK law allows citizens to possess some firearms, but Scotland prohibits the possession of rifles altogether.

The men were armed with shotguns, which were clearly within the forbidden range.

When the middle-aged man heard this, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled the trigger.

More than a dozen steel balls were sprayed out by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and they rushed up and down Lu Mingfei's body.

Although the impact points of the shotgun are scattered, with his hit range, he can hit at least seven or eight shots, and he will be disfigured if he doesn't die.

However, with Lu Mingfei's reaction speed, he naturally would not sit back and wait for the other party to shoot.

When he made a mocking remark, his body had already moved.

The massive body is as nimble as the kestrel, and its outstretched arms are like wings that cover the sky and the sun, enveloping the enemy in insidiousness.

Those people were startled, and just as they were about to raise their guns, Lu Mingfei's claws had already reached in front of them.

As if by juggling, the guns in their hands were piled up on the ground in the blink of an eye, and they were kicked against the wall and slowly slid down.

"Find out if there are any alive, and if there are, kill them all."

Lu Mingfei ordered.

"Understood."

The soldiers of the Second Company all smiled cruelly, like the villains of the Empire's propaganda videos.
