莱雷乌斯，一个曾经杰出的寻求者变成了恶棍，揭开了他的险恶阴谋。在对权力的渴望和利用精灵能量实现自己邪恶目的的愿望的驱使下，莱雷乌斯成为阻碍德雷文前进道路上的障碍的化身。
在宇宙力量的冲突中，德雷文和莱瑞斯面对面。他们的战斗是意志的交响乐，每个人都挥舞着古人的知识作为他们的武器。空气中噼里啪啦地响着精灵的能量，现实的结构在他们对抗的重压下颤抖着。
随着尘埃落定，他们冲突的回声平息，一个启示出现了。这个预言，曾经被认为是救赎的路线图，发生了意想不到的转变。不确定的面纱揭开，露出一个隐藏的扭曲，有可能使埃尔德里丹陷入永恒的黑暗。
在埃尔德里丹的编年史中，德雷文·黑荆棘和塞拉菲娜·夜影的故事继续展开，他们沿着星光之路踏上了危险的旅程。这条路径是星际走廊网络，蜿蜒穿过埃尔德里丹扭曲的景观，将寻求者带到天体汇聚的中心。
在他们对知识的永不满足的渴望和破译神秘预言的共同使命的驱使下，德拉文和塞拉菲娜向前迈进。他们的脚步被遍布王国的生物发光植物发出的怪异光芒引导。
旅程充满了危险，因为埃尔德里丹扭曲的景观带来了许多挑战。他们穿过茂密的森林，变异的植物像古老的哨兵一样在头顶若隐若现，它们空灵的光芒在小路上投射出超凡脱俗的光芒。
空气中弥漫着精灵的气味，这是古老秘密和原始能量的令人陶醉的混合物。德雷文和塞拉菲娜继续前进，他们的决心坚定不移，因为他们穿越了蜿蜒的小径，越来越接近天体汇合的中心。
当他们冒险深入王国时，他们遇到了各种各样的精灵生物。这些异常的生物，从渗透到埃尔德里丹的扭曲能量中产生，拥有一种怪诞的美。触手怪物和眼睛缠绕在阴影的小路上，它们的存在不断提醒着精灵领域固有的危险。
德雷文和塞拉菲娜保持警惕，他们的感官适应着最微妙的危险迹象。他们对精灵动物群的了解使他们能够谨慎而精确地在危险的道路上导航，确保他们的进步不受阻碍。
星光璀璨的小路，迷宫般的曲折，考验着他们的决心。他们遇到了闪烁着超凡脱俗光芒的空灵门户，作为通往王国不同部分的门户。德拉文和塞拉菲娜在这些门户中穿行，他们的行动受到他们坚定不移的决心的引导，以解开预言核心的秘密。
随着他们向前推进，天体排列越来越接近高潮。上方的星星被称为古人之眼，其强度可与太阳相媲美。它们璀璨的光芒照亮了道路，投下了空灵的阴影，沿着扭曲的地形跳舞。
德拉文和塞拉菲娜发现自己对在他们头顶上展开的宇宙奇观感到敬畏。天体的排列创造了一个迷人的现示，因为恒星以复杂的图案移动和排列。宇宙能量的交响曲在埃尔德里丹的结构中回荡，与寻求者对知识的追求产生共鸣。
在星光灿烂的小路上，德拉文和塞拉菲娜在考验和磨难中遇到了喘息的时刻。他们在难得的宁静中寻找慰藉，植物的空灵光芒营造出宁静的氛围。在这些时刻，他们反思他们事业的艰巨性和围绕他们的宇宙力量的重量。
星光璀璨的小路，曲曲折折，成为他们追求的隐喻。它象征着他们必须解开的错综复杂的宇宙知识网络，以及驾驭未知所需的毅力。德雷文和塞拉菲娜从这种象征意义中汲取力量，他们的决心随着道路上的每一步而加深。
当它们接近天体汇聚的中心时，星光之路呈现出一种空灵的品质。走廊变宽，露出令人叹为观止的宇宙能量。求道者站在目的地的门槛上，心中充满了期待和惶恐。
星光璀璨的道路，带着它的奥秘和挑战，将德拉文和塞拉菲娜带到了发现的悬崖边上。他们旅程的下一章等待着他们，因为他们准备面对位于埃尔德里丹核心的宇宙力量。他们怀着坚定不移的决心，迈出了进入宇宙交响乐的第一步，准备面对等待他们的任何考验，以破译预言并保护埃尔德里丹免受即将到来的厄运。
因此，埃尔德里丹的编年史继续展开，记录了德雷文·布莱克索恩和塞拉菲娜·夜影沿着星光之路走过的道路——这条道路使他们越来越接近天体汇聚的中心和等待他们的宇宙真理。第3章 梦中的梦
在埃尔德里丹的史册中，德雷文·布莱克索恩和塞拉菲娜·夜影的故事仍在继续，因为他们冒险进入了被称为梦境的神秘领域。这个空灵的维度，现实与想象交织在一起，隐藏着隐藏在凡人眼中的秘密和真相。
在他们永不满足的好奇心和他们解开神秘预言的共同使命的驱使下，德雷文和塞拉菲娜踏入了梦境。过渡是无缝的，仿佛他们滑入了一个平行世界，感知的边界变得模糊。
在梦境中，德雷文和塞拉菲娜发现自己置身于无视逻辑和理性的超现实景观中。地形变化和变形，反映了那些踩在它上面的人的思想和欲望。他们穿过色彩鲜艳的森林，树木低语着古老的秘密，树叶闪烁着空灵的光芒。
随着他们深入梦境，德雷文和塞拉菲娜遇到了各种空灵的生物。这些生物，从无数灵魂的集体梦想中诞生，表现为幻想的实体。它们以神话生物、天体守护者和神秘的灵魂的形式出现，引导或阻碍寻求者的道路。
梦境以自己的节奏脉动，与穿越其空灵广阔地区的人的潜意识欲望和恐惧产生共鸣。draven和Seraphina发现自己沉浸在情感和感觉的交响乐中，过去，现在和未来的梦想交织在万花筒般的体验中。
在这个梦境中，德雷文和塞拉菲娜遇到了织梦者，空灵王国的神秘守护者。这些生物拥有飘逸的长袍和古老的智慧，拥有塑造和操纵梦想的能力。他们是隐藏在梦境中的秘密的守门人，敢于进入的人寻求他们的指导。
通过神秘的谜语和隐蔽的真相，织梦者提供了对推动德雷文和塞拉菲娜前进的预言的见解片段。他们的话就像风中飘荡的耳语
当他们穿越梦境时，德拉文和塞拉菲娜遇到了违背现实法则的梦境。他们发现自己置身于玻璃和光明的城市，幻觉在街上翩翩起舞，梦境的结构顺应他们的意志。他们探索色彩漩涡的广阔海洋，那里的深处蕴藏着千古回响的秘密。
梦境以其不断变化的景观和神秘的居民，成为象征主义和隐藏意义的迷宫。德拉文和塞拉菲娜在这个空灵的迷宫中穿行，他们的思想与梦境中的微妙信息和线索相协调。
在梦境中，德雷文和塞拉菲娜直面自己内心深处的恐惧和欲望。他们受到幻觉的考验，这些幻觉的形式是失去亲人、萦绕的记忆和威胁诱惑他们灵魂的诱惑。这是一场意志之战，寻求者必须克服幻想，在梦境中开辟自己的道路。
随着他们深入梦境，德雷文和塞拉菲娜解开了梦境操纵的秘密。他们利用自己内在的力量来塑造梦境并影响他们的旅程。他们的能力不断增长，使他们能够在梦境之间架起桥梁，瞬间穿越很远的距离，并解开梦境中的奥秘。
在梦境中，德雷文和塞拉菲娜遇到了深刻启示的时刻。他们体验到宇宙实体的幻象，他们的真实形态被梦的面纱所掩盖。他们见证了宇宙能量的潮起潮落，并瞥见了塑造埃尔德里丹命运的天体舞蹈。
因此，埃尔德里丹的编年史继续展开，记录了德雷文·布莱克索恩和塞拉菲娜·夜影在梦境中走过的道路。他们深入梦境，现实是可塑的，真相隐藏在潜意识的深处。这是一段考验他们决心并挑战他们感知的旅程，因为他们试图解开神秘的预言并保护埃尔德里丹免受即将到来的厄运。第四章 学者的策略
在埃尔德里丹的编年史中，德雷文·布莱克索恩和塞拉菲娜·夜影的编年史仍在继续，他们开始寻求知识并破译神秘的预言，这些预言将他们王国的命运掌握在神秘的掌握之中。他们的旅程将他们带到古代图书馆的神圣大厅，在那里禁忌文本和神秘知识得到保护。
在对理解的永不满足的渴望和解开宇宙实体秘密的共同使命的驱使下，德拉文和塞拉菲娜沉浸在古代传说的研究中。他们细读着尘土飞扬的大部头的风化书页，手指描摹着经受住时间考验的书法。
在古代图书馆内，他们与其他寻求者进行哲学辩论，这些寻求者是埃尔德里奇领域的学者，他们毕生致力于解开埃尔德里丹的奥秘。这些辩论是知识的熔炉，思想冲突，新的见解被锻造。
求道者们因对理解的共同追求而团结在一起，交换禁书和深奥手稿的碎片。他们仔细研究图表和符号，寻找可能揭示天体宇宙舞蹈的模式和联系。
德雷文和塞拉菲娜致力于破译迄今为止指导他们旅程的神秘预言。他们仔细分析了错综复杂的文字，剖析了其层层的象征意义和隐藏的含义。每个单词和符号都蕴藏着一把通往他们所寻求的宇宙真理的钥匙。
在追求知识的过程中，德雷文和塞拉菲娜发现了被遗忘的诗句和晦涩难懂的段落，这些诗句和晦涩的段落深埋在历史的史册中。这些启示让我们得以一瞥宇宙实体的本质、它们的真实姓名以及它们对埃尔德里丹所拥有的力量
while saying this, derek looked at what the boy wanted to send and said, \It seems like what you want to send to your brother is very precious. do you want to let it go?\
the young man seemed a little hesitant, but gritted his teeth and nodded. … I'll do it. \
derek smiled slightly. According to him, he was a somewhat naive but kind-hearted young man, so in order to protect the young man's feelings, he decided not to reveal this cruel truth.
After saying goodbye to the boy, derek walked down the street, looking for a breakfast restaurant that interested him, and at the same time had second thoughts.
\there doesn't seem to be anything special about this tunnel. I'll sort it out when I get back. Yeah, I need to set up a camera to take some video tonight. I'm going to tie myself up and set up a contraption or something. '...' thought drake. consider that you have to prepare something to prevent yourself from \sleepwalking\ into the ocean again.
After watching drake leave, the boy returned. he looked at the treasure chest at the entrance of the tunnel, closed his eyes and prayed earnestly. \brother, I have given you the greatest treasure of all time. I hope you like it.\
After praying silently for 10 seconds on the spot, the young man opened his eyes and suddenly smiled brightly.
As expected, another treasure chest was handed out.
After drake finished breakfast, he went to a nearby electronics and shopping mall and did some shopping before returning to his hotel. After returning to the hotel, he began arranging the placement points of video equipment and installing and arranging the trigger mechanism \wake-up\. If he sleepwalks again tonight, the agency will wake him up in time.
After doing all this, drake uses his identity as a mystery investigator to examine surveillance video from his hotel where he slept last night. he wanted to know what it was like when he was \sleepwalking.\
the hotel staff was also very cooperative. After confirming drake's identity, he quickly opened a channel and came to the security room to access the surveillance.
when they investigated, they were surprised to find that drake had indeed sleepwalked out of his hotel room at 3 a.m. and was gone within 10 minutes.
drake believes his sleepwalking is caused by unusual factors. he had never had symptoms of sleepwalking since childhood. before ing to china, his sleeping condition was still very stable. the sleepwalking started after he came to china and when he first visited china. they started appearing the next day.
\what's the cause?\ drake felt a headache as he analyzed the situation. At the same time, I still felt a sense of crisis and disfort in my heart because I had fallen into that situation.
In fact, detectives have no superpowers or luck bonuses. As animals, they are also targeted by \murderers.\ Furthermore, the ``murderer'' is still unknown and there are no clues.
derek took a drag on his cigarette to calm his anxiety. he was holding a cell phone in his other hand. the mobile phone interface stops at a series of number dialing interface. the series of numbers had been left to him by the person in charge of this mission. It is likely to be a personal contact of someone in a secret group.
of course, he also knows that the best way to solve his problems now is to seek help from an occult group, a professional organization in china, but he doesn't want to do that.
he has to admit that he is a bit of a pretentious person and firmly believes that he can do anything. there's a reason for his confidence. At least he's been basically solving problems for himself since he was a kid.
Also, as a freedom-loving liberal who walks the gray line, he does not want to inform the occult team about his situation, considering that he may be subject to personal restrictions.
derek doesn't decide to call until he finishes his cigarette. then he closes the screen and gets ready for bed. before going to bed, he tied himself, his blankets and his bed with black rubber rings. by the way, one of his hands was chained, and the other was hung on the bar at the head of the bed.
After making all the preparations, derek slowly fell asleep.
Lost in the sky, drake gradually lost his sense of self and knowledge, forgot that he was asleep, and gradually fell asleep.
derek heard the call during the day in his dream. his voice was still low and full of pleading, he thought quietly.
who is calling me?
why was he so sad and pitiful and cried?
does he ask me for help? or are you asking me for mercy? or are you asking for forgiveness?
drake considers himself a seasoned love interest. detective work is a profession that treads a gray line all year round. plus, he's not a rule follower. Instead, he is keen to try out and interact with the various women who often visit the red light district. Even going to bed is a challenge for him, so we usually have a good time.
I was just walking among the flowers without touching the leaves. he couldn't remember a woman he'd ever had a faithful relationship with, or a woman who was so dependent on him...
In order to find the source of the sound, drake followed the sound in his dreams. he walked through the endless desert. the sky was covered with black clouds and yellow sand was dancing. I didn't realize how long I had been walking until suddenly I smelled fish on the sea breeze.
drake stood on the dunes and felt the emotions of the season welling up in his chest. his rapid breathing seemed a little panicked. he saw the sea in the distance, and a terrible storm was raging at sea, and he was moving forward. It's going to invade here.
thunder and lightning, storms and tsunamis...no matter what, for a little human like drake, he couldn't resist.
drake turned and tried to run away, but when he turned around he saw a pair of eyes swollen like light bulbs, about to pop out of their sockets. A dark green humanoid creature covered in scales and fins stood before him. Face him, make eye contact, and look at each other.
Looking into those dull eyes, derek felt a wave of fear rise within him. the strange image seemed to weigh on his sanity like crazy, and his soul seemed to be absorbed into those pale, weak eyes.
Like the legendary fishman, he took a step back and away from the monster. but his fear did not subside. After my vision expanded, even fear appeared in front of me. behind him, a herd of murlocs stood on the dunes with fierce faces. Its thick body stretches the fabric of your clothes, and its sharp fin-like organs cut through it. they didn't seem to have an independent conscience. they took just such a step. he ignored her and walked step by step past her, towards the stormy beach behind her.
Each of the fishmen opened their mouths to whisper and let out a roar. he put his hands together with his upper body in a kind of ritual prayer posture and walked while praying something.
drake suddenly realized that they might actually be worshiping something. he couldn't help but look back toward the sea. but this time, as he looked out to sea, he deeply regretted his hasty action. It seemed like he was going to lose his mind in an instant.
on the vast and oppressive ocean, water and sky meet, dark clouds and tsunamis stick together, and a gigantic crouching vermin pierces the sky vaguely, surrounded by thunderclouds, earthquakes, and tsunamis, moving towards us. step. Step by step, the face of the large dangerous beast seemed to resemble the murlocs passing by, as if these murlocs were descendants of this dangerous beast, or even humans. It was as if there were.
At that moment, drake turned and tried to run away without hesitation, but the moment he took a step, he felt resistance in his left hand. he couldn't help but be surprised. when he turned around, two fishmen with human-like female features grabbed his left wrist with their webbed hands, while the other fish stared blankly at him, confused.
drake desperately tries to escape from a group of insane psychotic murlocs.
Great pests will arrive, storms and tsunamis will devour everything. this is especially true for people like her who are thin-skinned and weak-hearted.
drake gritted his teeth and shot his arm hard. however, this female fish was very powerful. hands with sharp claws and hard scales scrape your wrists, causing burning pain. the more force I applied, the more the pain became. .
his breathing became faster, the earthquakes felt closer and closer, the roars of giant animals, the sounds of storms and tsunamis came closer and closer, until a great black shadow covered the world and pletely covered his little shadow. .
drake turned in horror and saw the creature blocking out the sun and pushing the waves forward. She looked down and stared at the stranger.
boom!
the waters of the mountain ocean flowed down, shattering his soul and spirit, destroying whatever little sanity was left in him.
Just when he thought he was sleeping in this damp, cold ocean, he saw arms reaching out to him in the dark, as if they were placating a fish. he felt like he was suffocating, but his survival instincts kept him going. he held out his hand, and the owner of the hand answered him. the other person grabbed his hand and led him away.
drake was a little disappointed. he felt that he should not help, and that the fishmen who worshiped and respected this great and dangerous creature should not e to his aid.
At that moment, the fish-man who grabbed her arm will lead her out of the water, but will make her dive into a very deep trench in the ocean and enter a world where only fish like them can survive. .
however, after a while, drake felt several beams of light emanating from above. As his consciousness gradually faded, he looked up and realized that the fish that had carried him away was not taking him as deep as he had expected. , but take him to swim in the water.
\pure!\ derek woke up from his dream. however, the moment I tried to bounce up on the bed, I was immediately bounced back by the strong restraints, and my head fell heavily onto the pillow.
As I looked at my familiar surroundings, my fear gradually disappeared along with the memory of my dream, and my mind became clearer. he suddenly let out a long sigh of relief and quietly lay down on the bed, greedily breathing in the air of the room and feeling his skin. Intimate contact with bed linen.
\It's a dream.\ derek let go of the blanket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead that continued to trickle down the back of his head. he felt as if he had just e back from the rain.
\his!\ After a while, derek felt the pain in his left hand again. when I looked up, I saw blood dripping from my chained left hand, the outline of the chain scratching the bloody wound.
having no choice but to quickly stand up to attend to the wound, derek untied the chains and removed the restraints from the bed. then he got out of bed, sat down on the desk and walked around the machine. he took out a medicine box and mineral water from the cabinet and prepared to treat his wrist. please dress up.
he washed his partially scabbed and partially bleeding wrist with mineral water. the pain made him smile.
After washing the wound, derek saw the wound clearly and suddenly his whole body became stiff again.
derek swallowed, shivering as he pulled a pair of tweezers from his medicine cabinet and slowly inserted them into the wound. After the face was momentarily deformed, he used tweezers to remove three translucent blue-black rulers from the wound. a small square object.
It's fish scales...
``Jiao Lian disease?'' After a long search for information, Yu Lianyun finally found documentary information about the normal phenomenon of female students registered in the branch organization's database.
Approximately 500 years ago, probably during the Zhu ming dynasty, there was a solitary island on the border of the sea area under the jurisdiction of Liuhua port. there was a small town on a lonely island. one day, a terrible epidemic of unknown origin suddenly breaks out in a small town. disease.
those infected with the plague gradually lose their human appearance, turning into friends with suspicious features and extremely cruel tempers. however, there are only a limited number of people who can join you, and most of them actually plete the transformation. he previously died because his body could not bear the changes.
the early symptoms of Jiaoren's disease are hemoptysis, and the mouth begins to ulcerate for no reason. this indicates that the patient's vocal cords are pleting the transformation to Jiaolian. In the middle stages of Gion's disease, patients lose most of their natural vocal cords. It has a normal vocal tone, but may also make strange fishy sounds.
A little further back, the patient's lower body slowly es together, and the hair on the legs falls off, replaced by dense scales and various fin-like organs.
After all, the terminal state of Jiao Lian's disease means that he either dies or transforms into a humanoid animal that has lost his humanity.
\could he be suffering from an illness?\ Yu Lianyun couldn't help but guess. “So, do other victims of mysterious disappearances also suffer from this disease?”
84 Go to the island (updated)
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Yu Lianyun visited the two survivors one after another and read the reports of those who had unfortunately died. Eventually, Yu Lianyun discovered that these people were all showing symptoms of the disease, but only to a limited degree. Everyone is different.
\In this way, we can basically determine the monality of the missing victims. they all suffer from sexual intercourse syndrome.\ Yu Lianyun said after ing out of the hospital's inpatient department. , I was sitting in the car and looking out the window. Along the coast, he said.
Shan wei, who was acpanying him, nodded and said with deep emotion, ``In this way, the progress of the mission has made a great leap forward.he is worthy of captain Yu.''
Yu Lianyun nodded with a smile, but there was an invisible bitterness in her smile. \the most urgent challenge is to figure out why these people are getting sick. we're saying it's an epidemic, so there has to be a cause.\
Shan wei thought for a while, “then shall we go to the island recorded in the archive now?”
\perhaps we won't find any further clues until we get to the island, but if we look at the victims' networks of relationships and their personal trajectories, we might not find any more clues. ” Yu Lianyun thought for a moment before answering.
then he glanced in the car's rearview mirror. one of the two humanoid demons in the mirror sat on a chair, and the other maliciously reached out to Shan wei's neck. Shan wei said I didn’t feel anything, I just felt a shiver down my back. I thought the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was too low, so I turned it up a little.
\cough.\ Yu Lianyun suddenly coughed profusely, and Yao Zhenzhen, the incarnation of blessings, quickly removed the offending hand and stared into his eyes with hard eyes without changing her expression. .
Shan wei thought that maybe the temperature of the air conditioner in the car was turned down too low, which caused the boss at the headquarters to feel cold. he immediately expressed his concern and apologized, \oh, captain Yu, do you feel sick in your throat? Sorry, I was the one who lowered the temperature of the air conditioner.\ the temperature is too low to be fortable. ”
“Um, it’s okay, it’s just chronic pharyngitis, it’s an old problem.” Yu Lianyun waved his hand with a dry smile and quickly changed the subject, “by the way, the world Vote office Assigned personnel are investigating this incident. bar?”
“Yes, I am a former detective and F-class mystery investigator,” Shan wei answered quickly.
“Level F?” Yu Lianyun was a little surprised, “did you enter this industry a while ago?”
\I heard that he was selected as the first wave of civilian members when the world Voting office was first established a year ago. oh, by the way, his name is derek wu and he is of mixed race. chinese.\
“A year ago?” Yu Lianyun was silent. this time, he suddenly questioned the expatriate's ability. \I remember that it wasn't difficult to get promoted from F to E. I haven't been promoted even after a year. what is the reason?\
Shan wei thought for a moment and said, ``I also heard that, according to the summary provided by the world Voting office, this drake has been silent for more than a year since he became a mysterious investigator. I didn't ask any questions.\ of the mission. ”
\do you want to accept the mission? Anyway, let's treat you as an ordinary person for now. I won't let you go to the island with me. I'll give you some of the clues I've gathered and let you stay on the island.\ \I'll stay on the mainland and be in charge of the investigation. the victims have mon characteristics.'' Yu Lianyun thought for a while and made a decision.
“Agreed.” Shangwei was a little surprised by Yu Lianyun’s decision. because if he had read it, other manders of the main zodiac team would not be able to share the results he just obtained so easily. he is an unusual dispatcher as he has never met the recipient directly and does not know their personality.
that afternoon, drake received an email from an occult group. She felt suffocated when she saw the contents of the email attachment.
\A disease of people?\ derek's throat was parched, he swallowed a gulp of air, and frowned, \Everyone who tried to go to the sea after being lured by a mysterious voice showed symptoms of a human disease. …”
derek immediately ran into the bathroom and tried to open his mouth wide in front of the mirror. his teeth wanted to dig into the glass so I could clearly see what was going on inside his mouth.
the early symptoms of this disease were changes in the oral cavity and vocal cords. he checked his teeth and throat carefully, then backed away from the mirror in confusion, rubbing his sore cheek and muttering to himself. \that's strange. If there is no change, has my mutation not started yet?\ or am I not suffering from motion sickness at all? ”
drake hopes this is the last time, but where can you start talking about \sleepwalking at sea\ if you're not sick? was the almost real-looking nightmare he had last night all an illusion?
dreams are never fake, and even if they are illusions, they are never normal. After drake wakes up from his dream, the few scales he takes out of the wound on his wrist can't be fake. You must be exposed to unknown and unusual dangers.
\maybe I should find the mysterious young man who saved my life,\ drake recalled of the first time he sleepwalked. Remembering the young man's mysterious words, he was able to quickly wake up from the shore.
As for the mysterious young man drake, he hasn't found his place yet, but perhaps he realizes that he should stay near the beach at tenya Kai-kaku. because at the time he was very scantily clad, wearing flip-flops and wearing clothes he had made himself. . No long distance travel. the sweat from trekking is very refreshing.
``that young man seems to know me,'' drake thought to himself, remembering what the young man had said at that moment, which worried him greatly.
my past is your future.
\what does this mean?\ derek thought it was a code, but he had no clue. both the other person's words and myself were confused by the unfamiliar words. there was no one related to the young man in his memory.
derek looked at his injured wrist, thought for a moment, and thought, ``maybe I'll take a chance and bet he'll e and help me.'' he silently clenched his fists.
that night, as expected, drake again dreamed of an apocalyptic scene. As the giant sea creature became more and more apparent, he was able to see more and more of the dangerous creature in its entirety. All that can be confirmed is the appearance of a group of fishmen. they are ugly, ferocious, and lifeless, even more lifeless than dead rotting fish.
because of his experience in the previous dream, drake didn't hesitate to turn his back and run away, this time without being captured by the fishman again. he made it through this crazy fishman's stronghold unscathed. he ran from the shore and into the endless darkness.
As he ran, the dream settings changed without his knowledge. he could only feel the dampness under his feet. he lowered his head and saw the rippling black water still washing his feet.
but how could he re-enter the sea since he had clearly fled from the coast?
without even thinking about it, the tsunami was already rolling in...
Kujugogami Anumi (two in one)
\cough, cough, cough!\ derek coughed frantically, clinging to the shore. when you cough, seawater sprays out of your nostrils and mouth. his eyes heated up with the excitement of the seawater. he knelt on the beach washed by the waves, pletely soaking wet.
drake looked up at the person who had just pulled him out of the water. that is the young man she saw yesterday during the day. So did others. Although his body was covered in seawater, he was able to maintain his standing position.
``Are you looking for me?'' the young man's breathing gradually became calmer. he asked quietly, looking at drake.
drake had no idea how the young man had deduced his purpose. he nodded, moved a little, sat on the beach, washed himself with cold sea water at night, and said: \I didn't have time to ask you some questions yesterday. problem...\
before the young man finished speaking, he seemed to already know what he wanted to ask, and immediately answered with a smile: \there's no reason to save you, just to return the favor.\
\Repaying the favor? I remember your name was Li Nuwei, right?\ derek wondered, \have we met before?\
Li Nuowei smiled, stretched out his hand to help drake get up from the ground, pointed to a villa near the beach, and said, \Let's go there and talk.\
derek paused for a moment, shook his head, and followed to the young man's left side.
As they walked, Li Nuowei just answered drake's question, \You may not remember me, but I will always remember your kindness. I will do my best to keep you alive.\ I will do my best.”
\Am I in great danger?\ drake asked.
\Isn't it dangerous enough as it is?\ Li Nuwei asked jokingly, \of course we will encounter more danger than this.\
when derek heard this, he remembered the Jiaoren disease incident and immediately asked. \do you know anything else? what trouble did I get into? why did I suddenly fall into this hole?\
Li Nuowei did not answer the other party immediately. he finds a spare key and something familiar hidden in the summerhouse door frame, opens the summerhouse door, turns on the lamp and stove in the house, and then undresses and gets wet with derek. clothes are placed next to the stove for cooking.
while waiting for his clothes to dry, Li Nuowei drank water from the room shirtless. he said quietly, \Falling into the hole is your blood destiny. It has nothing to do with whether you accept this research mission or not.\ , As for the problems you encountered, you have already I think you should know, otherwise you wouldn't have thought to e to me. ”
derek frowned. Since the other party knows about the \investigative mission,\ he should also know the identity of the mysterious investigator, but he still asks for final confirmation, \tell me, what's bothering me now?\ I had to.
As if sensing drake's mood, Li Nuowei laughed and said meaningfully: \For example, if someone is sick or something...\
hearing this, derek secretly clenched his fists. only then does he almost pletely believe that the other person really understands his situation.
\what exactly is Ginlen's disease?\ derek asked seriously. Just by reading the information sent by the occult team, I knew that Jinglen's disease was not as simple and strange as people could understand. .
Li Nuowei folded her arms, stared at the stove fire, and said quietly...
Yu Lianyun, Shang wei, and five top executive-level secret agents of the branch climbed to the island mentioned in the information about Jiaorenbi. the island's footprint is small and could probably acmodate a fully equipped university. Land area.
Although no one currently lives on the island, there are still several houses and ancestral shrines on the island, showing signs of life and use. It is said that when fishermen from nearby waters passed through this island, they rented a house here and started a fire. during the New Year festival, fishermen use the ancestral shrine here to worship, burn incense, and perform New Year rituals of offering sacrifices to the heavens.
because of the experience of ordinary people going to the island and returning safely, Yu Lianyun and his colleagues assumed that the island would be safe if they just carried out a little bit of daily life on the island.
Exploring the island's secrets may trigger hidden taboos and put you in danger, but as long as you are careful, the danger is not too great.
Almost all the houses on the island were demolished, leaving only six houses still usable. After Yu Lianyun assigned personnel, they divided into groups and surveyed each household.
Soon, Yu Lianyun and others discovered a special symbol in the room. Some were made of brass and placed on top of old chests of drawers, others were made of knots and hung by the bed, and some were placed directly on the bed. Special symbols are engraved directly on tables and walls.
Although Yu Lianyun, who is not a local, did not understand this symbol, it made a clear impression on Shang wei, who grew up in the port city. to Yu Lianyun's confusion, he explained, ``this is the symbol of the Ankai God Association.In Liuhua port and the surrounding coastal cities, there are still people who believe in a god called ``Ankai God.''
``what kind of god is the God of Anhai?'' Yu Lianyun was a little curious. to facilitate his research in the Shenzhou region, he recited most of the gods and demons of the mythological system widely circulated in Shenzhou country. In fact, he knew most of the gods and demons in the Shenzhou area. people living by the seaside tend to believe in gods such as ``Sea mother'' and ``dragon King,'' but ``Ankaijin'' is not a popular deity, but is more like a local deity.
mr. Shangwei said with a smile, ``the god of Anhai is not well known in china. It is a local deity.the concrete image is of a large fish with four legs and a human face.''
“well…I can imagine it quite well.” Yu Lianyun smiled and asked curiously. “Are there many people who believe in Ankaijin now?”
\there aren't many. I haven't seen anyone worshiping this god for a long time in Liuhua port, at least in the past ten years.\ Shan wei thought and shook his head.
As they continued to explore the house, Yu Lianyun asked, \do you have any stories about An hai Shen?\
Shan wei frowned, seemed to be trying to remember, and said: ``that story was told to me by an elderly man in the village when I was a child. I don't remember the details clearly, but I remember that the story went something like this.'' this...\
once upon a time, there was a huge water monster that roamed the nearby waters. he was picking on random boats that were ing and going. during the fishing season, it was sometimes impossible to attack ships. when their stomach is full, they will also grow their nails. humans and animals living on earth are quite large. In the past, this caused people living in cities near the sea to be in great fear every day.
Until one day, a meteorite falls from the sky and God's star es to this world. then, a large fish with a human face appeared and instantly swallowed all the water monsters and sea monsters that had harmed the people. Since then, there have been no ships in the nearby waters. water monster and sea monster attack.
Later, some people said that the large fish with a human face was a messenger sent from heaven to stabilize the sea. therefore, some people built ancestral shrines of human-faced giant fish and began to worship them in earnest.
the strange thing is that after people worship seriously, the cities and villages along the coast have good weather every year, and there is no need to worry about eating, drinking or catching, and treasures will appear on the coast from time to time. others. pick out.
people thought this was Ankai no Kami's answer to their religious worship and became more fanatical and worshiped Ankai Kami frequently.
``If An hai God is really a magical god, why did the clan suddenly decline and now no one worships him?'' Yu Lianyun burst out laughing when he heard this story. this story is similar to most mythological stories. Almost all of them talked about how the gods had helped humanity in the past when they encountered natural and man-made disasters, and how they all helped build temples and ancestral shrines to thank the gods. As a result, everyone believed them and converted to materialism.
to this, Shan wei replied with a smile: ``No one knows for sure, but I heard from an old man that after a certain period of time, his faith greatly diminished.''
Yu Lianyun nodded and quickly joined the other mysterious detectives searching other houses and walked to the ancestral hall on the island.
when I arrived at the Ancestral hall, it was really similar to the Ancestral hall and the Inland Sea city temple, and the gods I worshiped were also similar.
\huh!?\ but just when everyone thought they wouldn't find anything, a mysterious detective used a firewood machine behind the ancestral shrine to discover a cavity hidden beneath a pile of firewood. .
Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious and they moved the firewood together. during this time, the evil beast hiding in the firewood was like a sentinel guarding a secret passage. As the mysterious detectives clean the firewood, the snakes and insects hidden inside are attacked one after another by rats and ants.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured as everyone was alert and cautious. what's more, she was a mysterious detective who was so afraid of snakes that she shouted \Enchantress\ and threw herself down. my feet are swollen.
we understand that even \seasoned\ occult detectives have things to fear.
therefore, xuan secret detectives weijiao, Yu Lianyun, and two other members remain in the forest cabin and watch Shang wei and the other two xuan secret detectives return from their investigation under the secret passage. I waited in front of the entrance.
when you open the metal door where the firewood is hidden, the passage is not narrow, but very wide. there is enough space for 3 or 4 people to sit together.
Shan wei and two top mystical agents prepare their exploration equipment and enter the secret passageway. thanks to the light from the night vision device and flashlight, Shan wei and the three others could easily see the scene below the secret passage.
Judging by the stone-laden bricks and people with oil lamps set on the walls, this secret passage is quite old and full of ancient charm.
Shan wei thought for a while and decided to light an oil lamp on the way. In some cases, a bright fire source may be a better source of illumination than a flashlight.
In this way, Shan wei and his friends arrived at the end of the tunnel as the light turned on.
this is a dark shrine. Its spatial arrangement is neither square nor circular. Instead, there are very few rules. but strangely enough, it is filled with a strange sense of unity.
black pipe holes are clustered throughout the temple, and they surround a stone statue representing a blind vermin that stands in the center of the temple.
Although Shangwei had never seen the god of Anhai, he recognized it at first sight. the stone statue of the abominable god in front of him was the so-called god of Ankai, a gigantic fish with a dull human face and human-like limbs. Kindness
Shan wei decided to quit just by looking at him, and his two teammates felt a little dizzy and broke out in a cold sweat.
It seems like my nerves are being more sensitive and I suddenly start hearing sounds that I shouldn't be able to hear. they felt that something unknown was hidden inside those dense black pipes.
Shan wei shook her head and tried to calm her emotions. I could already tell that the owner of this stone statue was not a normal god, but something close to a supernatural god.
In this case, the nature of Ankaishinkai's organization deserves to be reconsidered.
\Vigo, look over there. Are there stone slabs with words carved all over the stone pier below the statue?\ the mysterious detective tries to calm himself down. he didn't have the courage to look directly at the tall stone statue. , but see the article under the stone statue, doing so had some effect. the mysterious detective felt calm.
Shan wei and another person followed suit. As expected, it's very calming. then they approached them and saw and read the words carved on the four sides of the pier under the stone statue.
“Sacrifice your eyes to see the light.”
“I give you Kai hui, your sharp mind.”
“I give you my living heart.”
“I ask for your mercy and forgiveness to reverse the divine punishment that has befallen my village and remove sickness and misery.”
Shan wei and two others interpret the ancient words left on the stone tablets. with every word and every sentence, Shan wei and the others can quickly determine the true nature of the organization of the Ankai God Society, which must be evil.
“Remove divine punishment, remove sickness and misfortune?” the expressions of Shan wei and the other two mysterious detectives changed. Shangwei was shocked and said, \It seems that God somehow spread the cross-infection to Anhai. why is this?\
\danger...cough...\
Suddenly, Shan wei and the other two mysterious detectives felt as if they heard some low and strange roar, and their expressions suddenly became alarmed. they lit lanterns to illuminate the area around the temple and the dark passageways.
Later, Shan wei saw a flash of blue-black rear claws and fish tails, but when he used a flashlight to illuminate other cave entrances, he found that the \owners\ of the claws and fish tails said, \I can't see it yet. \I understand.
\Ah!\ the next moment, Shan wei heard the exclamation of detective xuan next to her. his face was covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot, and he screamed, pointing frantically, and the flashlight fell to the ground.
Shan wei looked in the direction of the detective who was shouting mysteriously. I couldn't immediately shine a flashlight on it, but I could see a pair of glowing eyes hidden in the darkness. they illuminated him like a light bulb. their eyes twitched, and when the light hit them, a pair of \bulbs\ flashed and disappeared without a trace.
\Let's go!\ Nao wei immediately ordered a retreat without hesitation.
the Ninety-Six brothers disappeared (2-in-1)
Shan wei and her two team members run wild to escape from the dark underground temple. Although I couldn't see the blue-black glowing face clearly, I could imagine that it was probably an ugly and disgusting fishman. monster
these monsters chased them all, not quickly, but vigorously, and strangely enough, they followed the three of them and uttered whispers.
\...terrible...terrible...terrible! terrible!\ Shan wei heard the monsters roaring lowly. he gritted his teeth and turned around, drawing his pistol and aiming it at something moving in the darkness behind him. Swollen eyes, continuous shooting.
I could hear the sound of bullets hitting metal and the sound of flesh crunching. he successfully attacked the horde of monsters.
Among the three, only Showei was able to keep his cool and fight. the other two c-level mystery detectives seemed to have lost their minds and could only run away blindly out of breath.
I don't know if it was Shan wei's counterattack that scared those ferocious and ferocious murlocs. they suddenly stopped chasing, stopped at the bottom of the dark ocean where they could not see the flame of the oil lamp, and looked slowly and steadily at Shan. wei's frightening eyes seemed to want to carve his image into my mind.
break through the tunnel and return to the surface.
Sensing the unnatural expressions on the faces of the three people who had e out of the tunnel, Yu Lianyun immediately closed the iron door of the tunnel without thinking, and then inserted a piece of wood into the door handle to block the iron door.
\hurry up, there's something down there...\ Shan wei stopped on her knees and gasped. the two senior secret agents who had jumped out at the same time as him seemed pletely unaware that they had jumped out of the basement and were temporarily safe. , they overtook their teammates, ran out of the forest, and ran out of the ancestral shrine without stopping.
\hey!\ Yu Lianyun didn't react for a second, stopping the two xuan secret agents who were already panicking.
Shan wei gritted his teeth and said, “don’t worry about me, just catch up with these two idiots first, and I will follow slowly.”
Yu Lianyun nodded and let one person acpany Shang wei and led the others out the door.
but no one expected when, when we caught up with the two soulless people, they already ran to the edge of the cliff and without hesitation jumped onto the cliff, embracing the still roaring and roaring sea. It was. .
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed in shock. they arrived at the place where the two mysterious detectives had flown and looked at the crashing waves, but they could not find any detectives like themselves in the crashing waves. It sinks into the sea, leaving no residue behind.
when Shan wei arrived late with the help of a mysterious detective, Yu Lianyun couldn't wait to ask Shan wei about his experience underground.
A black temple full of holes, a gigantic stone statue of a fish with terrifying words carved into it, and black and blue fishmen chasing it... it was all so thrilling.
Shan wei’s teeth trembled and she whispered. \I know that the two men who jumped into the water didn't do it of their own accord. Just like I did, they heard the voice, the loud roar ing from deep inside the pipe.\ the sound of the dark, dark temple, deeper and more intense than a steam lootive accelerating out of control, must have caused them to hallucinate and temporarily not realize that their bodies were safe from the temple. they ran away, but their souls were still destroyed. I'm tracking you. ”
\we have to go back inland quickly.\ After hearing about Shan wei's experience, Yu Lianyun quickly realized that the crazy fishmen hiding in the darkness were targeting people who entered the forbidden area. I noticed that. they absolutely, God must let them go no matter what, and the best solution is to flee the island as soon as possible.
however, Yu Lianyun still felt anxious and anxious.
Immediately his inner disfort became real. the ship they were on was torn to pieces, and only part of the wreckage, covered in claw marks, was left floating in the sea.
“It was these men who did it, these monsters…” Shan wei said flatly, with a trace of fear in his eyes and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Radio waves are also heavily interfered with. Another mysterious c-class detective said in a dry voice.
Everyone looked ugly. they were stranded on this isolated island where something very dangerous was hidden.
…
After listening to Li Nuowei's story about the origin of Jiaoren disease, drake learned that Jiaoren disease came from the curse of the An hai god. people who are cursed by the god of Ankai gradually transform into the fishmen they saw in their dreams. , bees a hateful monster with a dull face and strange behavior.
At the same time, drake finally deduces the origin of the other half of his line. At least one of his parents must have believed in Ankai's curse, and they passed the disease curse directly down their lineage.
he has admired the chinese region since he was a child and wants to experience life in the countryside without china. It seems that going back to basics is not just an instinct from youth. perhaps a big part of the reason is that the evil that lurks deep in his blood is affecting him. , it may not be a coincidence, including the fact that he was able to grasp the work of ``mysterious disappearance case at Liuhua port'' at a glance.
this was a fate he could neither avoid nor escape from. drake suddenly realized that he was never free. he was trapped in a cage of fate, and the beings outside the cage saw him as a human being. Look at the monkey in the zoo, it's just like this monkey enjoys the fort in the cage and thinks that all his actions are of his own will, but he is outside the cage. they don't know that ``people'' are laughing at them. freedom\.
however, drake could not feel any anger towards this, he just felt a great sense of helplessness and helplessness.
derek looked at his unbandaged wrist and shakily lifted the gauze. his heart became even heavier as he watched blue-black scabs grow from the wound and spread everywhere.
\Is there a cure for this disease?\ derek asked in a deep voice. he looked at the young man next to him with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, hoping for a positive response from the young man.
but Li Nuowei shook her head. \I don't know, but no matter how I look at it, the only thing I can do is destroy the source of the curse.\
derek was surprised to hear that. the young man's words seemed like something he was born with.
``Kill Ankai's...god?'' drake swallowed his saliva and swallowed his reason. “Is that something humans can do?”
the young man showed a kind of self-confidence and arrogance that drake could not understand. the young man himself did not realize this, but he said with a smile, ``there is always a way. Just try it and you will see.''
try out? die?
drake couldn't help but ask Li Novi's identity again. \who are you?\
\me?\ Li Nuowei said with a smile, \It's just an ordinary college student's obsession.\
ordinary college student? drake expressed disbelief.
It was early in the morning, so my clothes were dry. Li Nuowei was planning to get dressed and leave, but drake was not going to give up chasing him. he still had many questions to ask his opponent.
It seems that Li Nuowei knew that drake would do this for a long time and did not stop him. he just said: \I have no intention of running away. It's no use chasing me. when the time is right, I'll definitely e to you. So...don't let what happened last night happen again, I can.\ You save time every time. It does not mean. ”
Seeing Li Nuowei’s serious expression, derek was a little surprised. In fact, he saw a sincere request in the other person's eyes.
derek was silent for a while, but before he knew it, he nodded.
Although Li Nuwei tried to persuade him not to pursue him, drake eventually got the other person's residential address from him, which was a student apartment near Liuhuagang University.
From this point on, drake couldn't help but believe in Li Nuowei's true identity. he may actually be a university student, but he was definitely not normal.
After the two left the villa, they broke up. derek walked down the same path as yesterday until he reached another deep, dark, narrow tunnel.
drake felt the loneliness and cold ing from the tunnel like it was yesterday.
Still, I passed through the tunnel without incident, just like yesterday.
As soon as drake exited the tunnel, he saw a law enforcement vehicle parked on the side of the road not far away. An anxious-looking middle-aged couple holding happy photos of their twins were working with law enforcement officers to stop random passersby. he pointed to a smiling young man on the left side of the photo and asked passersby if they had seen his child.
After seeing the photo from a distance, derek quickly realizes that the people the police are looking for are a middle-aged couple. It was the young man I met yesterday at the entrance to the tunnel, daydreaming about the people behind him passing by. through a somewhat mysterious tunnel, he sent something important to his younger brother, who had already gone to heaven.
Still remembering the innocent look on this young man's face, derek's heart felt a little heavy.
So he took the initiative to approach the couple and the police and frankly said, ``I saw this child yesterday.''
\Are you sure? where is he?\ the boy's parents excitedly grabbed his arms and hurriedly asked.
the police officers also looked serious. one of the middle-aged police officers said with a serious expression: \tell me, where was the last time you saw this child and what was he doing then?\
drake told them everything he knew, ``I saw a kid here at the entrance to the tunnel, and he was carrying a box with beautiful photo magazines, game consoles, movie and tV discs, and other things.'' Everything he had was in the box, and he put it at the entrance to the tunnel, he said he could send it to the dead. ... I didn't even talk to him at the end, I was so hungry that I could do that. Let's go have breakfast right away. ”
when the missing boy's parents and law enforcement heard derek's story, law enforcement was shocked and looked into the deep tunnel behind derek. however, the parents of the missing boy were shocked and turned pale. he was shocked, as if he had learned a cruel truth.
police and the boy's father quickly cooperated after the boy's mother noticed that he was about to faint, and derek also noticed strange signs on the couple's faces.
the young father's eyes were slightly red and he stared into derek's eyes, trying to find any sign of deceit in derek's eyes. he checked over and over again, asking, \did he take photos of photo magazines or toys? does he like these things? did he tell himself he liked these things?\
derek nodded and declared, \that's what he said.\
when the young mother heard this, she burst into tears, and the young father hid his face in frustration.
Seeing this, drake and the police could only calm the couple's emotions. After the couple calmed down, I realized that the answer had leaked out of their mouths.
\I have twin sons. the older brother's name is Yan Zuo. he likes reading books and is kind and quiet. the younger brother's name is Yan Yu. he likes watching movies and playing games. I like to do things and I'm a happy personality.'' the couple cried, but when they said that, drake and law enforcement had already guessed the reason for the couple's real breakup.
It appears that the couple mistakenly identified their child as having died in a traffic accident. the child who died in the traffic accident was thought to be the younger brother, but the child who is now missing is the older brother. In fact, it turned out to be quite the opposite.
It was actually his older brother who died in a traffic accident, and the missing person who is still alive was actually his younger brother.
the reason for the identity change is still unknown. perhaps the child did not want to make the couple sad, so he came up with a plan to pretend to be his dead brother.
the truth is cruel, but there are things more urgent than the cruel truth. while one law enforcement officer calmed the couple, another escorted drake to the tunnel entrance and pointed to an open space at the entrance. the box was empty and I asked, \was the box there then? where is the box? where did the things go?\
derek shook his head. \I don't know either. I heard him say why I put these things here, and then I left.\
``could you please e with me to the Executor Security office?'' said the Executor. there was no room for me to refuse even if I was asked to do so.
derek saw the look in his partner's eyes. As an acplished detective who frequently deals with law enforcement agencies, he was very accustomed to this appearance. the suspect's expression looked like this.
drake was a little stunned, but he knew, according to the empirical process, that he was indeed suspected of mitting a crime, and understood that he had been identified as a suspect.
derek laughed and cradled the mysterious F-class agent's certificate in his arms. this certificate immediately confused law enforcement officials, who had always doubted the identity of his killer.
“Are you a mystery investigator?” Force swallow the law. his tone was like watching an insignificant worker who was dusting on a construction site suddenly transform into a superstar who has experienced life.
\In black and white, it's me,\ derek smiled, then turned towards the tunnel.
secret ninety-seven tunnels
Even after the misunderstanding was resolved, drake didn't leave right away. Instead, he noticed something strange in the clues described by law enforcement.
there are no surveillance cameras installed near the tunnel, but that doesn't mean they don't want to install them. the reason for this is that whenever there is a surveillance camera pointed at a tunnel, it always malfunctions and gets damaged in a short period of time for mysterious reasons. .
At first everyone thought it was a malicious fool who did it on purpose, so they sent people to protect him. but strangely, even though people had been watching all day, no one had seen anyone break the clock. Surveillance remained puzzling. this is broken.
over time, the losses became too great, so they simply stopped installing surveillance equipment near the tunnels and increased patrols on the roads.
\have you ever looked into the specific reasons why the tunnel cannot be used?\ drake asks curiously of the two police officers in charge of the missing teenager.
the middle-aged police officer shook his head, \there's no definitive answer.\
the young policeman weakly raised his hand and said, ``but there are several theories about this tunnel.''
\what is that?\ derek asked curiously.
the middle-aged lawman frowned and glanced at the younger lawman. he seemed a little miffed by the inaccurate statement the young law enforcement officer was about to make. but seeing that drake seemed interested in this didn't stop him.
A young police officer said, ``this field was an air raid shelter, and there was a branch road running underground.but then the world became peaceful, and the original air raid shelter was no longer needed, so we filled it in and rebuilt it.'' It's a tunnel today. ”
\I've heard of that before,\ derek still remembered the boy's rough remarks about it yesterday.
the young lawman suddenly looked solemn and mysterious and whispered: \but there's something you don't know. before this bomb shelter was built, this place was actually a mass grave.\
derek frowned and motioned for the young lawman to continue.
\A long time ago, a very serious epidemic occurred near here, and many people died. At that time, there was no way to treat the epidemic. the dead bodies, the infected, the government, and the uninfected people. we had to deal with it.'' the infected were buried in mass graves along with their corpses.
while this approach has certainly effectively suppressed infections, it is not a plete relief.
After the mass grave was buried, for some reason, people passing by the mass grave could hear harrowing cries, like ghosts crying. It was very strange. Some later saw the dead in mass graves. Fantasy of underground evil spirits.
this continued for a day, then suddenly disappeared. \Young law enforcement officers tell stories of ups and downs, but it's a far cry from the serious impression their profession gives people. they're better suited as storytellers.
derek sighed, \we're not done yet, are we?\
the young law enforcement officer saw traces of impatience in drake and noticed that his habit of talking too much had returned. he smiled awkwardly and said, \that's right. In modern times, many countries have grown and heroes have stood together. during the world wars, this mass grave, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was dug up again. because... It was built so that people could escape from war.
but no one knows if their actions will break some kind of seal or anger the gentle dead souls again. the situation that followed worsened and recurred, resulting in serious fatalities.
workers who dug up tens of thousands of bodies from mass graves were horrified to the point of losing their minds when they saw the death-like skeletons. Some were so shy that they accidentally fell into the holes they had dug. Inside, the body twisted into one of the sharp bones. Some died on the spot, while others died later from unexplained and difficult-to-treat wound infections. All died without exception.
however, even though several workers died, the government was unable to plete the construction at the time. they insisted on digging air raid shelters, taking all the bodies one by one to a mass grave and throwing them into the sea, hoping that fear and novelty would float with the tide and remain silent at sea. work continues at sea.
After many twists and turns, the air raid shelter was constructed, but when it was actually put into use, the mysterious power that remained in it remained.
when war broke out and the enemy attacked the city, everyone hiding in this shelter was either driven mad or killed by the mysterious power of the plane shelter. Ever since people at the time learned of this terrible rumor, no one came down from the air raid shelter.
And just like in the old days, from one day on, the air raid shelters stopped acting like monsters, and people took the opportunity to block them off and turn them into today's tunnels, which are used as public roads. ”
After hearing the young law enforcement officer's strange story, drake doesn't immediately criticize or deny the story's veracity, saying, ``So, have you ever thought about sealing off the attack shelter pletely?'' Is that so?” he asked.
why are the tunnels still there?
the young police officer held out his hand and said, ``I don't understand that either.Just as you shouldn't cross someone's path, you should also leave a line at work.''Some experts advise him. , so please leave a line for the \good brothers\ in the basement too. ” that tone opens up such a tunnel. ”
drake fell silent. he didn't believe in the theory of Feng Shui exploration, but what the young law enforcement officer said sounded so metaphysical that it was difficult for him to believe it.
``okay, don't fool mr. drake,'' said the middle-aged policeman, unable to bear to hear any more. he couldn't help but pat the young lawman on the back and looked at derek a little apologetically. grams.
when derek heard that, he smiled and said, \No, don't say that. Actually, it helped expand my thinking.\
this statement is not incorrect. the rare story told by a young police officer may contain many distortions during the dissemination process, but that doesn't mean it's meaningless.
Something important may be true. the story, at least, mentions a terrible local epidemic, and he is immediately reminded of the illness he suffered during his travels.
If this was a hand disease, people at the time would have been really disappointed. After all, this was a \disease\ that modern technology and medicine could neither detect nor treat.
drake also does not know whether sexually transmitted diseases are ``diseases'', special ``evolution'' of humans, or ``degeneration'' in another generation.
but in the end, Jinren's disease takes him out of the category of ordinary people, and he doesn't want to bee this kind of monster who has lost his humanity and reason.
drake was pelled to reexamine the tunnels in part because he thought the mass graves might be related to transverse migration disease.
there may be secrets of fishmen and big fish under this tunnel.
98 Ruka 12 town (2-in-1)
drake really wanted to dig into the tunnel walls and see the secrets hidden in the tunnels. however, even if you are not an A-class supernatural investigator, it is not something that an F-class supernatural investigator can decide on his own, and in the case of a true emergency, he does not have the authority to take the initiative and act later. .
After all, this tunnel can be called a cultural heritage of the city.
despite this, drake has no intention of giving up on the search for the missing boy.
