"The business of the refinery suddenly took a turn for the worse, and even the town's economy began to deteriorate. Captain Alder thought of the lead block, so he told the townspeople that he had a way to bring back gold and fish. There were objections at first, especially from a man who had been on the island with him, but the objectors were pushed away, and Captain Alder was at last able to set about reviving the refinery business."
"But in 1946, things became unstoppable. There were too many missing people in the town, and many people saw those half-human, half-mermaid monsters crawling out of the water, so the city committee included Some people in the country began to want to resist. They contacted everywhere and assembled a large number of people. In the end, Obaid and the twenty-three people who followed him were put in prison, but the trial against them had not yet had time. … Countless black shadows climbed from the water to the shore, gunshots and screams were everywhere in the square, church, and field ridges. It lasted until dawn, and half of the people in the town disappeared.
"Obeid and the twenty-three people came out of the prison. He led the rest of the people and announced that a plague had hit here and caused a large area of death. Yes, the plague was covered up by them. All these excuses, and since then they have lost their restraint and finally slipped into the abyss of crime, 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 ugly, those monsters crawled in the dark attics and basements, and there were fewer and fewer normal people in the town who could still see it, until today."
Fabricott's voice was trembling all the time, "When I first heard these things, I kept comforting myself, this was just Old Allen's drunken nonsense, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed my hand Shoulder, tell me it's coming, it's too late! It's too late, it's too late, and after saying this, I saw him rushing up the far breakwater and jumping off it."
"Did anyone see him talking to you?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know, I was too panicked at that time, I should save him, normal people should save him, or at least make sure he is not dead, I mean he was stimulated because of me after all, Although I thought he had a mental problem at the time, but I didn't, I just stood there, feeling like I was being strangled by something, and when I realized that everything was irreparable, I turned around and ran back to the square, I wanted to take the bus to Arkham at 8:00 p.m., but the driver suddenly told me that there was going to be a celebration in the evening, and the bus was suspended for a day, and then I met you at the Gilman Hotel."
"Then do you know what old Allen was talking about?"
"No, I have no idea at all, I told you everything I know," Fabricott said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes tonight, I would never believe that there is such a bizarre and terrifying thing in this world. Things. I swear, this incident tonight has given me more excitement than the strange things I have encountered in my life, and if we are lucky enough to leave this place safely, I will never come back."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Heng expectantly, "We can leave, right?"
Zhang Heng didn't answer in a hurry, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the breakwater, the black shadows above were still standing there, motionless.
Afterwards, Zhang Heng turned around and said to Fabricotte, "You didn't tell me the truth."
"What do you mean?" Fabricott was stunned. "In this situation, I can no longer hide anything, otherwise I would be making a joke of my own life."
Zhang Heng didn't answer this question, but instead said, "I'm just curious about what you put so much effort into putting on such a play, and why is it for me to see it?"
Fabricott maintained a look of astonishment on his face.
"You didn't come here by bus," Zhang Heng said. "Actually, that bus never left here. I checked its wheels and the dirt on them. Judging from the degree of weathering, 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 floating dust on the counter, I don't think it has been open in the past week, and you said that in the afternoon, you talked to the employee there. Chatted, and there are those abandoned houses."
"Is there any problem with housing?" Fabricott asked.
"Some of them were indeed collapsed due to years of disrepair, but some of them, especially some of the houses located in the seaside area, were artificially bombed. It can be seen that they are obviously different from natural collapses, and some houses in the town Somewhere, I saw the tracks left by the tank tracks."
"Did you discover so many things just after staying for such a short time?" Fabricott asked in surprise.
"My observation skills are better than you think." Zhang Hengdao, "So when is it now? When I first came here, I asked the first person who talked to me. He said it was July 15, 1927. No, the newspaper at the front desk of the Gilman Hotel is from a year ago, but the magazine on the table is also July 15th. You seem to be using this method to imply that today is July 15th. Why? There's nothing special about this day."
"No matter what day it is today, everything you've been focusing on really happened. By the way, does this bring back any memories for you?" The young foreign traveler asked back.
"Let's save the word games." Zhang Heng said, "The young man in your story, did he escape from here in the end?"
"Has he escaped?" said the young traveler to himself.
"I think I should have escaped, otherwise the military would not have intervened. The marks of the tank tracks on the ground and the old houses that were blown up are what happened later."
After hearing the words, Fabericot finally stopped pretending, withdrew the surprised expression on his face, and sighed, "Your reasoning and observation skills are not only a little bit better as you said, but you are wrong about one thing."
"Please advise." Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"I am that young man, and that young man is indeed me, or what I used to be."
"Interesting, like you said before, usually people don't come back here after going through this kind of thing."
"That's true, but do you still remember the self-introduction when we first met? I said that in addition to viewing the natural scenery and looking for historical sites on this journey, I also studied family genealogy by the way."
"Do you have blood from here?" Zhang Heng was stunned, "Are you born here and left right after birth? That's why you don't know anything about it."
"My maternal great-grandmother, to be more precise. She was of the Marsh family, the illegitimate daughter of Captain Obed Marsh."
