Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver
Chapter 32
This conclusion also explains that due to the influence of a certain perspective or the limitations of the physical body itself, people cannot understand the connection between time and space, as well as the relationship between each other. The cave is the finger that presses down, which will reveal other dimensions in an instant and then restore them.
So since we talk about caves, other things will naturally come into play. Seeing Krys relying on Sister Di's description of escaping from the fantasy world, listening and asking questions, and getting closer and closer to the more mysterious thing called the Silver Wind, the detective and Soul Scythe understood the idea, and suddenly changed the topic and actually discussed the geography and customs of the United States. Come. It’s not too late for me to take revenge as a gentleman, but I want to deliberately embarrass the short man and ask:
"Eh? Speaking of which, the female corpse at the bottom of the pool also mentioned something similar to a cave dragon, which seemed to be called a mountain hunter. Maybe the Brotherhood also has records in this regard, and Soul Scythe happened to know something about it. I have some vague memories, I can’t remember clearly"
"What a weird thing, how can you judge that I must know it? Since you are the one who brought it up, and the female corpse in the mud pool has been described to you, why are you asking me?"The soul sickle turned around and kicked the ball back to me, saying disdainfully.
"Because when I mentioned the word"mountain hunting", your hands trembled obviously. Since you can explain the cave in a clear and logical way, that kind of thing is the same type as it. You are the only one who has read a lot of books. I don't ask you. Who to ask?"I took a last-minute shot and kicked it back.
"Have it? That's because the tobacco was burnt and fell on my pants. I don't have Parkinson's disease. Ask others."
"In my opinion, your knowledge reserve is no less than that little old man from the Son of the World, and I want to hear it too."Pang Fan smiled naively with a red face, pointed at me and said:"This kid often forgets to wear underwear. What kind of memory can he have? If he can explain things clearly, it's him who should be the one to praise you, not you. Anyway, the car will be driven for a long time, so it’s time for the car and the horse to recover from fatigue and give us some insights."
This kind of making things difficult would usually be ignored if Krys and I were the only ones making noises. After all, she just came out to play, and it might not actually have any effect. But the Mexican and Fan Pang were also deeply curious, and they looked at her from the side. The short man glared at me angrily and said that he was tired of this topic, so he could talk to him, but I couldn't wait to ask questions, and said After the mountain hunt, he planned to rest, so don’t bother him again then.
"I also heard about mountain hunting from San Vitale, so don’t take it seriously, don’t use any principles to explain it, just treat it as a fairy tale. Mountain hunting, as the name suggests, is a hunter in the mountains. The objects it hunts are villagers and their livestock. I remember Valaisson saying that at the time."
It is said that in a large mountain in the vast southern Russian plain, there have been rumors that there is a certain large monster living in it. Originally it only moved in the mountain streams and made a living by hunting elk. Once, a shepherd boy driving a goat happened to pass by the mountain and bumped into it. This thing lazily came out of the hole, and was so frightened that the whip was thrown and the rat scurried away. The goat took advantage of the situation and ran away, providing food for the beast. After this effortless meal, the beast stopped hunting and began to wait for the rabbit. It is a pity. However, no one dared to walk this mountain road anymore. Not only was this creature furious, it would go down the mountain at night and often break into the livestock sheds of nearby farmers and drag away cattle and sheep.
One year, heavy snow fell continuously throughout the winter, and the wild herds The mountains are covered with snow and the sky is vast. It is increasingly difficult to find prey in the wilderness. The beasts are so hungry that they begin to attack the nearby mountain villages crazily. They have been troubled by them all year round, and their livestock are almost eaten clean. The villagers are not stupid, and take advantage of them. Before the cold wave arrived, the cattle and sheep had already been taken to the market to exchange for grain, leaving only the cubs in the wooden house.
The wild beasts ran for a long distance, and when they arrived at the residential area, they saw that there was nothing there. They became so angry that they started breaking windows and doors, and rushed in It bit the living people in the house and finally dragged away the newborn baby. After this thing ate human flesh, it became even more cruel. It hated the villagers for not supporting it as a mountain god, and it made a living by cannibalism. Every time it went down the mountain, there was no difference. Attack, destroy the grain in the warehouse, hurt everyone in sight, and finally take away only the children.
After long-term devouring of living people, the beasts found that human heads are more delicious and juicy than human flesh, so they began to use them as their staple food, and got the title of Headhunter. Named. As a result, the casualties were even more tragic, no longer one at a time, but a large area at a time.
The villagers suffered a great disaster and had to gather the hunters in groups to catch and kill this thing, but every time No matter how many times it goes out, there are always a few missing when it comes back, and most of them enter the stomach of the headhunter. Why can't it be caught? Because the more people die under its fangs, the stronger it becomes, and ordinary crossbows cannot Even bullets cannot penetrate the tough skin and thick armor if you damage it. Not only that, this thing has become a demon and can change its shape. Sometimes it will turn into a gust of wind in front of the hunter and disappear without a trace, and in the blink of an eye it will appear from behind the crowd to attack. Or they turned into trees and deliberately uttered human words to lure hunters into taking the bait and falling to death in a deep valley.
Among the remaining hunters, one man's wife and child were killed one after another, and they couldn't help but get angry. They went up the mountain with the crowd and saw that the monster only swallowed human heads. I wondered whether it was because of this that it became so violent and indestructible? So I went home and told people about it, and decided to take the risk. In order to get rid of this thing, I needed to become as ferocious as it, and the village elected Several sacrifices were slaughtered and stewed in a pot with human head soup. The man had a good meal in the wind and climbed the mountain with enough ammunition and a crossbow.
After touching the smelly hole, he saw that the beast was sleeping soundly. The hunter quietly approached and raised his hand suddenly. He picked up the giant ax and chopped off the head, immediately cutting off half of the monster's head. The creature staggered up and fought with the hunter on the cliff. The mad man cracked his canthus and chewed his teeth, and flames shot out from his body, and his cheeks It gave birth to three bloody mouths, and fought with the monster for three days and three nights. Finally, a fire from the sky fell and burned the two animals to death. The lair also turned into a gushing volcano, and humans and beasts were no longer seen.
For hundreds of years, people can always I heard their roars coming from deep in the distant mountains from time to time. To this day, every cold winter, the locals cook and steam a kind of pasta called human head rice, which has gradually become a traditional custom.
This is just a ridiculous fairy tale, but the mountain hunter is indeed a changer. He can deliberately change the terrain, and can choose whether to recover according to his own wishes. The memories of the people trapped in it will also be erased. Remember what happened. Therefore, no matter how much effort is put into rounding up, it is difficult to be effective, and it will always escape.
This thing is completely opposite to the rampant ghost. The one who is hiding in the dark is devoured by wild beasts and becomes a villain, taking advantage of the situation to do evil. The mountain hunter, on the other hand, relies on preying on living people to transform into a human form and prolong life. The more it eats, the stronger its magic power becomes. After several reincarnations, it eventually becomes a human.
After Soul Sickle finished speaking, he completely ignored the laughter and fun of others and took a nap against the window. Having said this, everyone did not dare to harass him anymore and could not help but close their eyes to rest. At eight o'clock in the evening, the station wagon passed through Concord and Greensboro and arrived at its destination, Durham City, the county seat of Durham County. The Si family made a phone call to inform the other party that we had arrived, and then we found a hotel to stay at.
Lao Dai has a habit of buying a few maps as a collection whenever he visits a new place. After washing up, we each walked out of the guest room, took his map and walked around the streets. The ordeals of the past few days are so close at hand that we try to forget them and put them behind us forever, not wanting to be aroused again by going to bed too early.
With a population of over 200,000, Durham is the fifth largest city in North Carolina and a university town in the eastern United States. The famous private school Duke University is located in the city. Together with neighboring Raleigh and Chapel Hill, it forms the Triangle Science Park, a well-known high-tech industrial zone in North Carolina, and is one of its apexes.
Durham's history can be traced back to 1853, when the North Carolina Railroad was looking for a suitable location to build a station between Wilson and Hillsborough. Two options were considered at the time. The original post office in Durham was a post office established in 1827, and there was another post office in nearby Prattsburg. Because the landowner in Pressburg refused to sell the land to the North American Railroad Administration, but another doctor named Bartlett S. Durham agreed to donate the land, the railroad company chose the latter to build the station. , and named Durham Station after his surname to commemorate the sponsor of the land. Durham's development was relatively slow before the Civil War, but the city's size grew rapidly after the war due to the booming tobacco production industry nearby.
Although this southern city is rich in history, my interest was waning. Apart from the fact that the food in the bar was good, and the old buildings looked very mysterious under the dim light of time, I wanted to go back after walking around. But Krys dragged her to the disco and twisted her around for several hours. It can be seen that she has not had fun for a long time. At this moment, she is like a stag out of the cage, swinging her waist wildly, showing her graceful figure under the bright lights. She has already left me aside to entertain herself, attracting a group of punk youths to whistle again and again.. After all, she also comes from a generation of flying girls, and she used to be mixed up in society in Brisbane.
People are like this. If they always stay in the suffocating environment of a dark and dark Nuclear Hotel, they will gradually become depressed, and their tone will become garrulous. There are only a few friends in the circle, including female soldiers, serious friends and children. Ma. On weekdays, he fulfills his duties and does not dare to spend lavishly. He almost never goes to a high-end restaurant. It would be strange if the rhinoceros horn is used as the centerpiece of the feast. It will drive people crazy. After a round of wild dancing, she came back to me, already extremely drunk, and said that it was a good idea for me to suggest that she come out, and that she had already forgotten about her temporary best friend Xiao Yingying and the others.
I only have one thought, to finish Old Man Qian's mess and take her to Georgia to reunite with Lin Rui. If this continues, something will happen to her playful nature sooner or later. The two of them have been separated for too long.
The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. It was a good weather. I waited, led by Fan Pang, and headed towards the depths of a path covered with slippery leaves. After turning a few corners, an independent house with gray and white exterior walls appeared. After a night of wind and rain, it looked particularly clean and eye-catching.
At Vance's request, we both had to put on the so-called professional black suit that we had worn in the past. Krys deliberately let down his long hair and held a folder in his hand. He looked a bit like a working woman in both style and style. flavor. The detective and Paco, on the other hand, were uncharacteristically wearing colorful casual clothes, and walking together with the priest-like Soul Scythe felt very different.
This is a three-story house owned by Mr. and Mrs. Chambers and their youngest son Jeremy. It has three bedrooms, two separate toilets, a large yard with trees, and an outdoor swimming pool. The total area is 2,700 Squared Feet. A quite nice house, especially suitable for a middle-class family of three who likes a quiet life. I estimate that the total price may be around 1.6 million.
After receiving the call, others had already stood in front of the hospital waiting. It could be seen that both mother and son looked quite bad, but they were in good spirits. When the station wagon stopped, they were surprised. They didn't expect so many people to come, so they felt a little embarrassed and said they only prepared some pastries and fruits. The detective handed over his business card and said that we were here to start work, not as guests, and there was no need to entertain anyone specially.
When I entered the house, I saw the greasy pancakes, small pieces of crispy pointed toast and freshly baked croissants. The lingering fragrance in your mouth is endless. Well, this skill is much better than that of the Nut Core Hotel. The hostess can definitely become a chef.
"I want to make one thing clear first. My father doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods, or anything else. He was a staunch atheist, but he was the first to suffer. We wouldn't make that call unless it was absolutely necessary."
"My old man has been unable to get out of bed two weeks ago and is currently lying in the study room on the second floor, looking like a skeleton. When you see it, don't scream out of fear. Yes, the difference between before and after is so big that no one can believe it when they see it. After he fell ill, he began to become eccentric and extreme. He especially hated noise. Once he got angry, he would never stop, and his body could no longer withstand the torment."
When the mother and son saw one of us eating snacks with gusto and the other looking around, and only Krys standing upright, they thought she was probably an agent, grabbed her hand and started describing the owner's situation. How could she understand? Seeing that others were already chattering about this, I hurriedly turned back to look at the detective, Paco and Soul Scythe. Unexpectedly, none of them entered the house and were still standing outside the door smoking.
"What's wrong? The other party was about to take us upstairs to see the patient, so we all came in."Krys pushed the door open and waved to them. But
Eubisio waved his hand and said that he didn't plan to go in yet. He wanted to go around the house and look around, because the house was covered with dark clouds and filled with evil spirits..
