Dean followed the south bank of the Tranquility River all the way east to find clues, and found a large deserted forest.

In mid-March, the Tranquility River is still cold, squirrels and other animals are still in a long hibernation, the forest is dead, and the river on the left is becoming more and more turbulent, and the current cuts through the plains like a knife, washing away the surface soil.

The riverbed reaches hundreds of meters deep into rock formations, creating deep canyons.

At the eastern end of the canyon, at the confluence of the Tranquility River and the Smokey River, a patchwork of buildings appears on the valley to form a small town.

The town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the rooftops and roads glow with a faint golden glow in the morning light, and the scenery is so beautiful that Dean's temples are a reminder that the clues to longing are hidden inside.

"This is the town east of the River of Tranquility in the illusion?"

……

He then set up his skills to teleport cars and sleeping companions two hundred kilometers away, and then drove through the town to ask the townsfolk for clues about a series of addresses in North Athabascara.

Walked around the town on the way.

From the street, the river banks on both sides of the town are like towering mountains, and the mountains are densely forested, overgrown with aspen, pine, birch... The leaves and branches covered with a layer of snowflakes gently sway with the water vapor, exuding a serene temperament away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

That's why the town is called Tranquility Town.

The town is populated by whites, yellows, Indians, and Native Americans, like a hodgepodge... But Dean observed all the way, and they didn't live peacefully.

Dean drove for less than five minutes when he noticed two women screaming and tearing each other's hair over a piece of merchandise in the supermarket, and several drunks playing boxing matches on a vomit-stained telephone pole on the street outside the bar.

In addition, passing by the left side of the town, he found a charred ruin, and the skeletal villa burned by the fire stood alone by the rushing river, like a weeping man...

All the signs gave Dean a bad premonition, and his mood that had been stable for a long time fluctuated slightly.

There's something unusual about this town.

After walking around for half a circle and collecting no clues, Dean parked the car outside an Indian restaurant in the center of town, glanced at his sleeping companion in the back row, and got out of the car alone and entered the restaurant, separating the curtain door.

The pungent smell of spices fills the air.

A big fat man of more than 300 pounds dominates the table on the left side of the entrance, destroying the roast chicken, baked hash browns, curry rice that fills the table... As his hands grasped and swallowed, a large piece of fat under his thin shirt swayed like water, and brown-yellow oil stains stained the corners of his mouth, and he ate rudely to the extreme, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

I don't know how much the fat man ate, but the empty plates in the dining cart next to the table were stacked into a high mountain.

The pace at which he was eating was still not slowing down in the slightest.

"Big Stomach King, the amount of food is no worse than mine." Dean saw through life, this fat man was just an ordinary person.

"Nymosdai, welcome to Karachi, I'm Amir." A man with a thick broom-like beard and a long white shirt came over with his hands folded, glanced at Dean's priceless black suit, and enthusiastically led him to the table opposite the fat man, "You look like you have a very raw face, this is your first time in Tranquility." ”

Dean nodded, casually looking around, "Well, how long has your restaurant been open?" ”

"For more than 20 years, please rest assured, our restaurant has a good reputation in the town, and I can't forget what I have eaten, please allow me to recommend a few specialties for you?"

The boss stretched out his fingers the thickness of a carrot and clicked on the menu a few times, unceremoniously ordering the most expensive dishes.

Dean said in a deep voice, "I can accept your recommendation, but you have to do me a favor first... I'm looking for a few places, somewhere in the Tranquility River Valley..."

"If there's anyone in the whole town of Tranquility who is the most well-informed, it's Amir, and I'm more than happy to help the guests." Amir smiled proudly and patted his chest, his big almond-shaped eyes shining like a treasure, "But I said that helping takes time, and time is money..."

Dean swiped his finger at the top of the menu, "All five of these dishes are served." ”

Amir immediately laughed from ear to ear, as if he had won a million lottery, "Haha... So where are you looking for? ”

Dean stared into the man's eyes, "Athabasca, Pith River, Dwyer, Midian, have you heard of it?" ”

Amir stood there and frowned, thinking for a few seconds, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Athabasca, Dwill, and Midian, I have no impression, according to me, no one of the townsfolk can give an answer... Coincidentally, I saw a record in the town archives that the town of Tranquility was called Pith River hundreds of years ago..."

The town of Tranquility is Pisriver!

Dean was pleasantly surprised to find that the progress of "bloodline" in the system had jumped to 90%!

Then the "East Pith River" in the illusion prophecy - it is the east side of the town!

Dean couldn't wait to ask, "What's on the east side of town?" ”

"Zhendong?" Amir's lips trembled twice, and he suddenly swallowed the answer into his stomach, his eyes rolling, "Honored guest, this is the next question, right?" It's not enough to order these dishes. ”

Dean raised an eyebrow.

It cost two hundred dollars to order food, which is a huge amount of money in this era when ten dollars is enough for a big meal.

If you change to another restaurant, you can't wait to pay for twenty dollars.

This Indian-origin boss has such a big appetite, it's abnormally big.

Dean casually slapped out a few beautiful knives, "Extra tip..."

Amir reached out and grabbed the banknote and put it in his pocket, "The east of the town is a cemetery, and the people who died in Tranquility Town are buried in it. ”

"Cemetery?"

Dean's eyes lit up, did the "North Dewell Cemetery" in the call of the illusion refer to the cemetery in the east of the town, the Midian, where the nocturnal species lived?

No, it's not that simple.

Dean suppressed his agitated mood and shook his head.

If there was a group of monsters living in the cemetery, there should have been chaos in the town.

……

"Wow," a painful groan interrupted Dean's train of thought.

The big fat man on the opposite side who was eating Hesse was suddenly blushing and clutching his stomach and buttocks, turning into a humanoid jet.

Vomiting and diarrhea are performed at the same time.

For a while, the air in the entire restaurant was filled with a smoky stench.

Dean held his breath and took an X-ray of the fat man from God's perspective.

Gee...

This big fat man often has several times the capacity of the stomach, esophagus, and rectum, which has been supported by all kinds of digested and undigested food.

His entire digestive and excretory system was like an overloaded machine, and it was badly malfunctioning.

"Damn fatty, give me money!" Amir's eyes burst into flames, and he covered the fat man's mouth with both hands to stop his squirting, "Cleaning fees, meal expenses, tips, mental damage expenses, rescue expenses... A thousand knives, dare to lose a penny, I curse you to give birth to a daughter! ”

The fat man shoved Amir away, and his fat body threw himself on the table,

"You can't waste delicious food, let me eat, I want to eat!"

"Eat you, you can't understand people! Money! Amir's eyes flashed red, and he grabbed the table knife and pierced the back of the fat man's right hand, nailing it to the table like a spearfish, and leaning into his chest to dig out his wallet in his pocket amid the fat man's screams.

"Don't stop me!"

The fat man is like a hungry white pig.

And Amir screamed and fell, showing white bones on one side of his cheek, but he only bared his teeth, opened his wallet, and counted the bills with glowing eyes,

"My money, it's all my money!"

This disgusting and bloody scene made Dean can't help but retch with a blue face and snap his fingers.

Dead Realm!

An invisible wave swept through the restaurant, and two crazy men passed out in a vegetative state.

Dean hooked his fingers in disgust, took their blood out of the air, and began to lick the memory.

As a result, the memory picture I saw was unexpected.

"It's too normal."

The restaurateur, Amir, and the fat diner don't have any paranormal experiences, they're just ordinary people.

But in the last two months, their cravings for money and food have become so crazy and sick that their behavior has begun to become outrageous... It's like suffering from some kind of paranoid psychosis.

But if it was a disease, the box of illness could not be triggered.

"It's not psychosis, what's wrong with the two of them?"

……

Dean couldn't think of it for the time being, so he called an ambulance for the two of them, and left the restaurant straight back to the car.

"Hmm," Monica lifted the black cloth covering her face and woke up from her slumber and stretched, "Kenny, are we there?" ”

"We're in Tranquility, I've found some clues," Dean looked at the other party's sparkling eyes and moist lips through the rearview mirror, "Let's go to the cemetery to the east first." ”
