Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

"What happened to this book? What's strange?"I grabbed it from his fat hand and flipped through it several times. Except for a few pages that were dug around with a utility knife to open the skylight, the overall content was very well preserved. Most of the content was pictures, but also photography, and even illustrations. , it’s what people in 1880 looked like in 1980. It’s full of all kinds of bizarre mechanical equipment and fanciful designs. Anyway, I looked at it upside down and didn’t find anything strange. I asked the fat man and said,"You mean these beheaded animals?" Leaving note?"

"No, what I can't understand is the book itself. Don't you think it's strange? The way people imagined the future a hundred years ago was completely different from today. It was either too old-fashioned or too progressive. In other words, are old science fiction movies from thirty years ago still too advanced even if they are still relevant today? For example, private transportation drives a spaceship, the air-cushioned shoes on your feet can go to the sky, you can go to the moon to establish colonies, and the communities you live in are sky fortresses, but in reality we can never reach this height. He pointed at the pictures in the book and said with a smile:"For example, in this picture, the umbrella is replaced by some kind of device above the head, but who can lift up an iron block the size of a manhole cover?" There is also this video phone, which is still designed as a phone booth, but equipped with a telescope. Wouldn't it be the light rail now when the rails go up to the sky? But why does it look like a big wheel in an amusement park? Whoever gets a meal early in the morning at work would be surprised if he doesn’t vomit after getting off."

"There is nothing difficult to understand." An elderly national detective next to me also glanced at it a few times and answered on my behalf:"Due to the limitations of the times, people's minds do not have the appearance of things they have not seen before. Most of them are based on the basis of that era. The facilities are the backdrop and that's it. We always decide the direction of things according to our own wishes, either oversimplifying or overcomplicating things without considering practicality. In fact, this kind of thing is similar to reading a history book. It is easy to make the same mistake, accepting the concepts put forward by others, but not your own, and your thoughts are carried away. That's probably it. The factor behind the changes in all things is people. The complexity of people will continue to modify and overturn previous concepts along the way, so that things become more and more perfect."

That day, at the request of the family and the night caretakers, we worked until two o'clock in the evening and then returned home to ensure that nothing would happen again in the middle of the night, which barely dispelled the family's concerns. At noon the next day, we had a good meal Lunch, heading towards the destination!

The hometown of lentils, peaches and sombreros, the hometown of Vans - the Southern Empire State, here we come!

For Georgia, it is a desert in my mind, there is only one concept of Atlantic City, not even We know exactly where it is. Now we are on our way back to the core. We will cross South Carolina and enter the state on the highway. To go to Peachtree Corners, we must first go to Atlanta. It is a big city in Georgia, just like the summer in North Carolina. Lot, it takes thirteen hours to drive in a straight line. Originally, Krys suggested going back to the hotel to rest until early tomorrow morning before setting off. She thought maybe Charlie had come back and planned to invite her to go with him. I was so frightened that I dragged her out. The purpose was to break up the Holy Alliance, so I put the idea of ​​finding Dixie out of my mind at night, and insisted on entering Nanca and staying at the hotel on the way. The reason was very high-sounding, saving people is like putting out fires, and old money can't afford to delay it.

Looking at the phone, I'm blindly waiting for a call. Since I left Charlotte, Dixie hasn't called me for many days, as if she thought I was dead. What is she busy about? Will she glance eastward on the bed? Or maybe I did something wrong at her house, and Sister Di suddenly fell in love with me? She is not a girl, but a married and divorced woman. She naturally knows how to measure and understands what she wants. In contrast, She is the naive and innocent one than me, even worse than her little cousin Chuuk.

And what about Lin Rui? I don’t know what he is busy with. In fact, since last night, I have had the urge to call him. I informed him of Krys’s current situation. Suddenly, I felt like I was living the kind of person I hated most in the past. I was stuck in human relationships all day long and couldn’t get out. In the past, I never had so many worries. I could feed myself and the whole family. , trying to find the joy of life, and saying goodbye to every flower on the roadside that I twisted. In short, I was as depressed as others, thinking about my own things. At this moment, my phone vibrated a few times, and I grabbed it Look, it was an unknown caller ID. I leaned close to my ear to listen.

"Brother, you are playing with me."The hiss of smoking came from the receiver. The caller turned out to be a drifter.

"who is it? Let me pick it up."The Soul Scythe sensed something strange about me, grabbed the phone and started chatting with the other party. Through the ghost's description, he had already begun to investigate the tape H1-092, but as far as he understood, it was in the basement of the Bellagio Business Building in Midtown Manhattan. , there has never been a locker, so it is impossible for someone to throw a box of personal belongings into it.

In other words, the information I finally obtained from the sun is actually false news, but this kind of thing AC But what he said was conclusive, and it was his last words. No one would use it to make an international joke. Then there can only be two conclusions: First, someone had anticipated this, took it away in advance, and adopted a method to treat Li Well, the same method is used to prevent people from remembering this matter; secondly, the carton in which the cassette is stored has not been sent out yet. It will be put into the underground of the current game arcade at some point in time. The time is uncertain.

"It’s hard for us to say anything about this. It definitely happened. Fan Pang squeezed next to the short man and asked with a silly smile:"He will not waste the fee he promised you, but he can't pay it now. Can he give it on credit for a period of time? Sooner or later he will have to pay you.""

"Because this matter was nothing, I couldn’t really ask him for 10,000 yuan. That would have crossed the line. As for the cost, don’t worry too much. You can also sell information to me in exchange. The drifter laughed a few times and asked,"I heard that you are looking for someone?""

"Eh? How did you know? Are you following behind with that tractor again? Fan Pang was all excited. He quickly looked at the rear window. He saw a twilight and heavy traffic on the car. His eyes were filled with dazzling lights, which seemed to be there or not. He asked

"I have my own channels, so don’t bother looking for them."The other party asked Fatty to hand the phone to Hun Si, maybe thinking that he was the one who could make the final decision, and said,"I only know a rough idea about your matter, and I can't figure out many details, but I have a client who is very concerned about this. If you are interested, not only will I not charge you money, I will also give you fifteen thousand. He or she plans to send his or her assistant over, and the meeting place will be in Atlanta.……"

"No, I will pay you ten thousand later."Eubisio cut off the call without thinking and threw the phone back to me.

"What's wrong? What did he say?"Seeing that Soul Scythe was silent, I couldn't help but push him. When this sinister man finished the drifter's suggestion, I scratched my head and asked in confusion:"Is there such a good thing? This ghost is really surprising. I don't understand why you rejected him? Besides, this matter actually has nothing to do with you.……"

"shut up! Do you have a human brain or a pig brain? This matter is obviously unprofitable, and it may also be a trade in giving away people's lives. Which idiot in the world would be interested in this? How do you know who the other party's customers are? While he was collecting information, he was also selling it. If this was a battlefield, he would be the kind of person who would sell weapons to both ends. Eubisio glanced at me coldly, lit up a cigarette, and said:"I will delete this number immediately. As for whether we want to deal with you or not, it is up to me. I really don't know how high the sky is.""

"Hey, Mr. Ram, it seems we are being followed. Lao Dai turned his head and winked at him, and said:"A few cars have been driving at a constant speed with us since an hour and a half ago. It feels like they are driving casually. Every corner is passed very naturally, and there is no problem at all on the surface.". But they are in a fan-shaped triangle, which can not only support each other, but also observe us without blind spots throughout the process. They are very professional."

"How did you notice it? No, I mean you're sitting in the passenger seat and you can't see anything. Fan Pang picked up the telescope and leaned out from time to time to look at the back of the car and asked:"What color and model is it? Why can't I see it?""

"Judge."The detective stopped answering him and told everyone to be silent. He asked me to carefully check each other's luggage and clothes to see if anyone had secretly installed a tracker. At the same time, he took out a strange-shaped mobile phone and pressed the button After pressing a certain key, a thin piece of metal popped up with a hollow circle in the center, which was scanned on everyone. Soon, Krys’ backpack made a beeping sound. When we took it off and rummaged around, we found a strobing red stroboscopic device at the bottom of the bag. Bare buttons, Lao Dai said this is all

"Well, it's really hard to persuade a decapitated ghost with good words. If you don't have mercy, you will die."Lao Dai just glanced at it and shook his head. He already knew who was watching him. So he waved his hand to us and pointed to the restaurant on National Highway 278 (Route 278) ahead, indicating that meal time was up and we were there. Waiting for this group of people.

When we entered the small shop, it was deserted and deserted, with almost no one in sight. There was only a drunk man at the end of the room, lying on the desk and dozing off. The detective took Paco to the toilet, and soon came up the gray road in the distance. There were several cars, but no one got out. They made a turn nearby and began to go in three directions, going around the two wings and back of the shop respectively. They seemed to be planning to cross this wasteland and climb a certain road in the distance. path. Just at this moment, Lao Dai's head popped up from the bushes outside his shop. He waved to them triumphantly, and soon walked back with the visitors. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the nationals from last night. Detectives, they also brought their own companions.

As Lao Dai said, this group of men and women are like wet hands with flour, you can’t shake them off. As long as they are interested, they will bite like flies and won’t let go. Treat every tracking as the ultimate pleasure. Why would the detective know the details of the other party? It is precisely because of the tracker at the bottom of the bag. This kind of thing is a special offering in the spy shop. It costs five yuan a piece. It must have been the one they were bombed last night. Before leaving, Krys, who had the least sense of precaution among the people, was not paying attention, so he pried off the original and pasted it on.

So, you must think that this group of people are following him because they admire Lao Dai, right? In fact, this is not the case. National People's Congress Detectives are suspicious by nature. Although they always pretend to have a good impression of you on the surface, they are whispering in their hearts, is this guy really as talented and knowledgeable as the rumors say? So, while you are speculating on them, the other party is also trying to find out. you

"Just take care of yourself as you have come." Eubisio thought it was nothing. He glanced at everyone and said,"But there are too many of you, and there is no bonus for doing this kind of thing. We can't afford it. Clothing, housing"

"After returning to the sympathy meeting, everyone thought about it and felt that this young couple was not good enough. They seemed not to focus on solving the case, but on falling in love, so they missed many details and slowed down the progress of the whole thing, so they decided to follow. The four-eyed woman pointed at me and Krys and made up a reason, then looked at the detective and asked,"How did you find out?" I mean, you didn't know the backpack was loaded with equipment until it was discovered, and you were aware of it at that time."

"Want to know?"The detective sneered, called to the waitress who was walking back and forth, stuffed her with five dollars, and asked her to go to the open space to smoke a cigarette and then come back. At the same time, he opened the store door. When he saw her leaning in front of the station wagon and puffing away smoke, he He turned his face mysteriously and looked at everyone, and said:"Next, something that is difficult for you to understand will happen. Pay attention to the door that opens on the side."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Dai clasped his hands together, hooked up his index and ring fingers and closed his eyes. The headlights above everyone's heads flickered and began to expand towards the store door. He kept his sitting posture motionless, but then moved again. A smoke-like thing suddenly appeared and closed the door gently. Then, the detective opened his eyes, and the room returned to normal again.

This timeThe incident happened on the day of the decisive battle, and when asked afterwards, he was perfunctory and unwilling to answer. At this moment, seeing all the national detectives looking panicked, Lao Dai calmly explained and said:"This is why what I said conflicts with your ideas and is not suitable for participating in this matter. A year ago, I was raised in the body I found this thing, called the Judge, and it discovered you, not me."

As for what it is? how come? Lao Dai didn't think it was the point. In short, when he was investigating a certain unsolved case, he encountered something particularly difficult to deal with. Seeing that he was unable to eliminate it, he could only let it nest in his body and use their Pojia Jiji technique to control it. And this thing is also a giant demon, a fierce god in the soul, so it is named Judge. Therefore, he was not afraid that a man and a woman could do anything to him, so he rushed to the front line. However, when he released this thing, it was all in vain. This phenomenon shows that it is not the six-winged earth evil. It can even be determined that they are not causing trouble in Lao Qian's house at all, but are something that cannot be found.

These words puzzled everyone, and they immediately became very interested. Only then did Lao Dai withdraw his magical powers, support his fellow men and smile bitterly, saying that they should not become miners because of this, which would be incompatible with his reality. The wish went counterproductive. National detectives and miners should perform their respective duties, give full play to their strengths, and complement each other to achieve the best combination.

"Your previous classification is still superficial."The detective saw Fan Fat open his notebook and said,"I have seen a few pages of your torn paper. Apart from the fact that you knew the term"snail snake" which surprised me, I actually still ignored another thing."

We once showed ourselves to Xiaoma and others on the Fruit Core Rooftop, and classified the rumored monsters into scattered spirits with zero aggressive behavior, slightly harmful ghosts, more ferocious ghosts, and those with a fatality rate of 100. 100% Black Mamba and so on. In fact, in addition to alternative monsters like snail snakes and six-winged earth evil spirits, there is also something unknown. Theoretically, the dark world is good at dealing with tangible monsters, such as semi- Monsters, corpses, or demigods, but when it comes to dealing with nihilistic things like monsters, it’s a little bit amateurish. In fact, comparing the two, it’s impossible to say who is stronger, because they are different fields. Just like the microelectronics industry and the metallurgical industry. What Lao Dai said essentially does not exist. It is both a curse and an earthly evil, and is a combination of neither fiction nor reality. The

2201 file that the detective mentioned last night, specifically It refers to such an incident. Probably in the 1930s, a similar incident occurred in Michigan. It is said that it was a dilapidated house that was burned down many years ago and has not been demolished for various reasons. Since it is an abandoned old house, Then there will naturally be explorers. They often go together without warning. At first, there is no serious problem, but then on a certain day, they see a man in red who looks like a normal person, and his whole body exudes the unpleasant smell of burnt corpses. This After helping people return home, an unknown fire broke out in their home less than a week ago, and they were all killed in the flames. Moreover, this kind of thing would happen in many places at the same time. In the end, they had to bulldoze the place, sprinkle it with salt and ask the priest to preach, but it still couldn't stop this. This kind of thing happened again.

Later, some decent people were attracted to investigate, but as long as they came, they would be burned to death. In the end, no one dared to touch it. So, can no one really break this giant monster?
