Chapter 260 Labor Party Contact

Miskatonic University is located on the edge of High Street, which was originally the wealthy area of ​​High Street.

Rich people like to buy real estate close to universities. Perhaps it is because they believe that the vitality of young people can infect their spirits contaminated by drinking and sex?

Until a few years ago, the municipal government of Yanan decided to dig a subway tunnel near Miskatonic University, and a series of strange incidents occurred.

People buried in the cement walls of the construction site at night, "fresh" cat corpses dug out from the ground, students who disappeared into the half-dug tunnel, and the legendary "stars" under the underground cavity...

At that time, the underground railway track was already halfway laid. The foreman went crazy overnight and personally blew up the tunnel entrance with explosives, burying the entire excavation team that was still working at night.

It is said that the explosion and subsequent collapse at that time even woke up the mangy dog ​​who was sleeping most soundly in Xiacheng District.

It stands to reason that only the entrance to the tunnel collapsed, and it only needs to be dug out and the excavation team inside to be rescued - this is not a difficult task for Yanan City, which has abundant human resources.

But when the temporarily organized rescue team dug out the entrance to the tunnel, they suddenly discovered that the tunnel had disappeared——

The space behind the tunnel entrance has been completely filled with cement, and human limbs can be faintly seen in the cement...

Since then, no one among the city councilors in Yanam has mentioned building a subway.

The matter on the subway has come to an end, but the strangeness seems to have stayed here and never left.

From that day on, mysterious murders occurred one after another near Miskatonic University.

The victim's death method was as strange as those who died when the subway was built. The police were unable to collect enough clues and naturally could not solve the case.

Thus a vicious cycle and panic spread.

In just a few months, most of the residents near Miskatonic University moved out one after another. Those who are still here are either the old, weak, sick and disabled who cannot afford to move out, or they have no money to rent a house.

The poor guy.

"Mr. Chen, are you listening?"

On the bus, Chen Yan was immersed in the strange world described by the driver, Uncle Donald, and couldn't help but wake up when he called him.

"Ah...Is there such a thing? It's really unbelievable..."

Donald changed shifts with other drivers today, so it was good luck to meet Chen Yan.

Donald smiled and said in a strong voice: "It's just that the police are incompetent. If I are allowed to take charge of the police station, I guarantee that the murderer will be brought to justice within three days! Let me give you an explanation!"

Faced with the other party's obvious bragging, Chen Yan immediately changed the subject in order to avoid embarrassment: "How has the campaign been in the past two days?"

Speaking of this, Donald immediately became a little irritable, and the rising emotions turned red on his neck, which also intensified the spittle flying around him:

"It sucks...Mr. Chen! It sucks! The Conservative Party has obtained the votes of most idiots through their cheap kindness. We who really care about those idiots are still struggling to get 13 seats in the City Council."

one of them!

Oh! Damn it! Why is this? Because no one of us stood up!

The leaders of the Labor Party are pretending to be dead! Those eggless sons of bitches! We raised them up, but now they just want to be dumb! We were so blind at the beginning!

We're fucked!"

Chen Yan was a little surprised and said: "No one came forward? What's going on?"

Speaking of this, Donald suddenly lost his temper.

After a moment, he sighed and said: "Because we are too weak and don't even have guns. How should we protect ourselves if we are targeted by others..."

Chen Yan listened thoughtfully to his words.

Vivian's father, Mr. Mogwen, kept the list in order not to expose the Labor candidates among it.

Thinking of this, an inexplicable conjecture came to Chen Yan's mind.

Could it be that... the situation that Donald mentioned happened just because no one contacted the candidates on the list?

Chen Yan asked tentatively: "Uncle, do you know a steam bus driver named Sergey?"

That was one of the names on the Labor list left by Mr Mogwen.

Donald burst out laughing: "Ha! Sergey, the big-eyed guy, I'm going to take his shift today."

His tone didn't change at all, and he asked the question in such a casual tone: "Why are you looking for him?"

Chen Yan's tone was normal: "I saw his tutorial article on repairing fuel engines published in "Machinist" magazine. I thought it was very interesting. A steam bus driver actually has the ability to repair fuel engines. I want to talk to him.

."

This is the description of Sergey on Mr. Mogwen's list.

Donald grinned: "Then you have found the right person. The big-eyed Sergey spent almost half his life to buy an almost scrapped fuel engine. He tinkered with it for who knows how long before he made such a mess.

article--

Hahaha! But the royalties he earned were not enough for three days of food!"

Damn... is it so miserable...

Chen Yan asked: "Where can I visit him?"

Donald responded readily: "He is a bachelor and does not have his own house. He lives in the employee dormitory of the steam bus operating company. When the time comes, go to Room 329 on the third floor. That will be his dormitory."

Chen Yan nodded and said thanks.

At this time, the steam engine made a steaming sound, and accompanied by the harsh rolling sound of the brake pads rubbing against the wheels, the steam bus slowly stopped at the station.

Chen Yan said goodbye to Donald and was about to get out of the car, but the red-necked uncle suddenly turned his head and grinned at him:

"Your vote hasn't been cast yet, right? You're not just looking for Sergey to ask about fuel engines, right?"

Before Chen Yan could respond, Donald made an "I understand" expression, winked at him and said:

"We're here! Smart young man, see you later!"

Chen Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, but still didn't laugh.

After getting out of the car and stepping on the fresh snow at the station, a gust of cold wind blew into his collar, making his whole body energetic.

He glanced around and found that this place was indeed as Donald said, it was deserted everywhere——

The residential area next to it is in a state of dilapidation that is visible to the naked eye, and even many buildings along the street have collapsed.

The alleys further away from the street have been completely hidden among withered grass and heavy snow. Even if the occasional bird flies by, it cannot bring any vitality to all this desolation.

For a prestigious high-street academic school, this is an almost impossible scene - in fact, in front of another university a block away, there is still a busy city with crowds of people.

Fortunately, the weather is nice today, which makes the deserted scene next to Miskatonic University less intrusive.

This university has been around for some years, and the black pine trees inside and outside the school walls have grown very tall, making it almost impossible to see the inside of the school from the outside.
