Chapter 523 Inheritance from hundreds of years ago
In fact, this is not a secret that must be concealed. The fishermen dare not tell it, just because they are afraid of violating taboos.
But now, he could only say with a grimace: "That thing is very evil. I always catch that compass when I go fishing again and again. Even if I go fishing in other places, I will catch it often."
So when Xiaojie put away the compass, he also warned him "Don't pick up rubbish in the water."
The rubbish here does not refer to the domestic rubbish discarded by humans, but to some objects with a sense of age and peculiar styles that have sunk in the rivers for some reason.
People of the older generation are a bit superstitious.
But young people don't.
So Xiaojie collected it with interest.
The fisherman said nervously: "Later, I often saw a strange boat floating on the river at night, but the river was foggy at night and I couldn't see clearly. One time I wanted to take a photo with my phone and ask other people.
Have you ever seen it, but the phone didn’t take any pictures..."
When it came to what happened next, the horror on the fishermen's faces was beyond words.
The man next to him was so frightened that he rubbed his arms: "No wonder you asked me inexplicably last time who owned that shabby ship."
Luo Kai still calmly asked: "When was the first time you caught a compass?"
His routine-like attitude made the fishermen dare not neglect him, and he quickly said: "About a month ago."
a month ago?
At this moment, Luo Kai was suddenly stunned and subconsciously looked at Xu Shuo next to him.
Xu Shuo looked back innocently.
A month ago seemed to be the time when the Abyss appeared in this world, but what did it have to do with him?
At that time, Luo Kai, who was still traveling around the world, passed by Yangcheng and picked up a first-level script "Blood Sunset" from the Normal High School, and then met "The Green Train" on the high-speed train to Pengcheng.
The appearance of the "green train" seems to have opened the door to the abyss of this world, completely ushering in an era of chaos and chaos among demons.
Because after that, the abnormal events the two encountered were either related to the abyss or related to the abyss.
Even just one month later, the "Judgment" of the script world paid attention to this world and set up a "defense line".
What a huge change in just one month.
Luo Kai sighed inwardly, and then looked away and continued to ask: "And this time, after Xiaojie picked up the compass, you saw the ship?"
The fisherman nodded timidly: "I know the boat is there, but I dare not say it because no one else can see it except me."
So he pretended that he couldn't see it.
But it's different now.
Because they were now under strict official supervision and were asked to describe the ship they saw, the fishermen did not think it was a simple infectious disease.
Especially after this young man with bloody hands came to him with the compass.
The fisherman became more and more sure that he had seen a ghost!
In the storybook, it is difficult for people to survive after seeing ghosts.
He told everything without reservation, and half of it was indeed because he was frightened that "if he didn't tell me, he would die soon."
So after the explanation, the fishermen burst into tears and asked for protection from the leader.
Luo Kai also found it strange that he was not dead.
"Yes, that ship kills people indiscriminately, doesn't it? Everyone who sees it should die." Luo Kai whispered to Xu Shuo next to him.
"Just because there was no difference before, doesn't mean there is no difference now." Xu Shuo said.
"Is that related to that monster?" Luo Kai frowned in thought.
"..." Xu Shuo said nothing.
Because he felt it was indeed possible.
After all, the monsters are dead.
Of course, whether there really was that monster lurking on the seabed hundreds of years ago is another matter.
Xu Shuo looked at the fisherman and asked, "What's your name?"
The fisherman who did not dare to contact the two of them and was crying bitterly while holding the police officer heard the question and quickly turned his head and answered: "My name is Luo Jiayong!"
Xu Shuo continued to ask: "Are you a native of Yangcheng?"
The fisherman nodded wildly: "He's a local! A local!"
"What's the business at home?"
“My family has been fishing for generations!”
"What's your father's name?"
"Luo Qingguo!"
"What's your mother's name?"
"Wu Xijiao!"
"What's your grandpa's name?"
"Luo Dayi."
"What's your grandma's name?"
"Luo...Luo Xiuxiu?"
"What was your great-grandfather's name?"
"…………"
As the two asked and answered, the fisherman's answer became slower and slower, and he became more and more confused, and finally he was speechless.
But not to mention that the fishermen were trapped, Luo Kai next to him was also confused.
"Why are you checking people's household registration?"
As he asked, he glanced at the other police officer who was not grabbed by the fishermen.
The police officer received the instruction, nodded and walked out of the tent.
The fisherman who had already been asked about his great-grandfather's name racked his brains, but apart from knowing that his great-grandfather should also have the same surname as him, he really couldn't remember what the name was.
He didn't know why this person asked these questions, but now, he was too panicked and his mind was confused, so he basically answered whatever he asked.
Because he knew that perhaps these were the only people who could save him from the ghosts.
While waiting, Luo Kai threw the important clue compass to the ground aside, then took off his blood-stained white gloves and threw them together.
I originally wanted to give it to Xu Shuo, but the man thought it was dirty and refused to take it.
As for letting ordinary people hold it, that's even worse.
Just put it on the ground.
And the reason why he wanted to throw it away was because Luo Kai took out a cigarette from his pocket with ease, then lit it and puffed out the smoke.
Xu Shuo calmly moved a few steps to the side.
In an instant, the only sounds left in the camp were the mournful cries of the fishermen, the silent breathing of another fisherman, and the strong smell of smoke.
Luo Kai became addicted to cigarettes and would smoke one cigarette after another almost non-stop. This was also his habit when he was deep in thought.
Soon, there were cigarette butts everywhere under his feet.
Xu Shuo suddenly said: "Can't you go out?"
Luo Kai looked at him, then took a deep breath, burned out the cigarette butt, took a long breath, and blew out several beautiful wreaths in the air.
Police officer: "..."
Fisherman: "..."
The scene fell into silence.
After a while, the silence was broken. The police officer who went out brought in a stack of urgently printed information and handed it to Luo Kai.
Luo Kai chewed on his cigarette, opened the document and looked at it.
This person’s family genealogy is quite well preserved.
However, in Yangcheng itself, if nothing happened, almost every village would have an ancestral temple to preserve the genealogy. In the past, most of them had intermarriages with villages not far away.
The surname "Luo" is indeed a local family with deep roots in Xinnan District.
The official attaches great importance to the matter of "pollution sources". With the green light given, the fisherman's ancestry could be traced to nine generations, not to mention three or four generations.
Not long after flipping through the information, Luo Kai, who was looking at everything at a glance, suddenly stopped and his sharp eyes were fixed on the paper.
