Chapter 731 The Answer Is Revealed

"The business of the refinery suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the town's economy also began to deteriorate. Captain Alder thought of the lead lump, so he told the people in the town that he had a way to bring gold and fish again. There was some opposition at first, especially from one man who had been to the island with him, but then those who objected were pushed away, and Captain Auld was finally able to get back to business in reviving the refinery."

"But in 1946, things couldn't be suppressed anymore. Too many people were missing in the town, and many people saw those half-human, half-mermaid monsters crawling out of the water. So, including the city committee, Some people inside began to want to resist. They contacted various places and gathered a large number of people. In the end, Obaid and the twenty-three people who followed him were imprisoned, but before their trial could be held, one night ...Countless black shadows climbed from the water to the shore. Gunshots and screams were everywhere in the square, church, and fields. This lasted until dawn, and half of the people in the town disappeared.

"Obeid and the twenty-three people came out of the prison. The remaining half of the people led by him announced that a plague had struck here, causing widespread death. Yes, they were covering up the plague. All these excuses, and since then they have lost control and finally slid into the abyss of sin. Everything began to rot and die, especially when the first batch of children grew up and began to show differences. More and more People became hideous, monsters crawled in dark attics and basements, and there were fewer and fewer normal people in the town who could still look past them, until today."

Fabricot's voice kept trembling, "When I first heard these things, I kept comforting myself that these were just old Allen's drunken ramblings, but after saying this, he suddenly grabbed my hand hard. Shoulder, tell me it's coming, it's too late! It's too late, it's too late, after saying this I saw him rushing up to the breakwater in the distance and jumping off it."

"Has anyone seen him talking to you?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I don't know. I was too panicked at that time. I should have saved him. A normal person should have saved him, or at least confirmed whether he was dead. I mean, after all, he was stimulated because of me. Although I thought he had a mental problem at the time, I didn't. I just stood there, feeling like something was holding my throat. When I realized that everything was irreversible, I turned around and ran back to the square. I wanted to take the eight o'clock bus to Arkham, but the driver suddenly told me that there was a celebration that night and the bus would be suspended for the day, and then I met you at the Gilman Hotel."

"Then do you know what it is that old Allen mentioned?"

"No, I have no clue at all. I told you everything I know," Fabricot said. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes tonight, I wouldn't have believed that there really was such a bizarre and terrifying thing in the world. Things. I swear, this thing tonight brings me more excitement than the weird things I have encountered in my life. If we are lucky enough to leave this place safely, I will never come back again."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Heng with expectant eyes, "We can leave, right?"

Zhang Heng did not answer in a hurry. He turned back and looked in the direction of the breakwater. The black figures above were still standing there, motionless.

Then Zhang Heng turned around and said to Fabricot, "You didn't tell me the truth."

"What do you mean?" Fabricot was stunned, "In this situation, I can't hide anything anymore, otherwise I would be making a fool of myself."

Zhang Heng did not answer the question and instead said, "I'm just curious about why you put so much effort into putting on such a play. Is it just for me to see?"

Fabricot's face remained stunned.

"You didn't come here by bus," Zhang Heng said. "In fact, that bus never left here at all. I have checked its wheels and the soil on the wheels. Judging from the degree of drying, it is at least more than It hasn't been touched for ten hours, and the grocery store has the same problem. Judging from the dust on the counter, I don't think it's been open in the past week, and you said you talked to the employee there in the afternoon. We chatted, and there are also those abandoned houses.”

"What's the problem with housing?" Fabricot asked.

"Part of them did collapse due to disrepair, but there are also some, especially some of the houses located on the seaside that were artificially blown up. It can be seen that they are obviously different from natural collapse, and some of the houses in the town There, I saw traces of tank tracks."

"Did you discover so many things after just staying for such a short time?" Fabricot was surprised.

"My observation skills are better than you think." Zhang Heng said, "So when is it now? When I first came here, I asked the first person who spoke to me, and he said it is July 15, 1927. No., the newspaper in the hands of the waiter at the front desk of the Gilman Hotel is from a year ago, but the magazine on the table is also from July 15th. You seem to have been using this method to hint to me that today is July 15th. Why? There’s something special about this day.”

"No matter what day it is today, everything you experienced did indeed happen. Does this bring back any memories for you?" the young foreign traveler asked.

"Let's save the word games and stuff." Zhang Heng said, "The young man in your story, did he escape from here in the end?"

"Did he escape?" the young foreign traveler asked himself.

"I think they must have escaped, otherwise the military would not have intervened. The tank track marks on the ground and the old houses that were bombed are what happened after that."

After hearing this, Fabricot finally stopped pretending, took back the surprised expression on his face, and sighed, "Your reasoning and observation skills are not just a little better than what you said, but there is one thing you said wrong."

"Please give me some advice." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"I am that young man, and that young man is indeed me, or who I was."

"Interesting, as you said before, usually people will never come back here after experiencing something like this."

"That's true, but do you still remember how we introduced ourselves when we first met? I said that in addition to admiring natural scenery and visiting historical sites, this trip is also researching family genealogy."

"Do you have the blood of this place?" Zhang Heng suddenly asked, "Were you born here and left as soon as you were born? That's why you know nothing about all this."

"To be more precise, it was my maternal great-grandmother. She was a member of the Marsh family and the illegitimate daughter of Captain Obed Marsh."
