This is a city that should not exist in the real abandoned capital, but only appear in novels about ancient capitals.
According to the normal journey, Lu Jian and the others should still have a day and a half to reach Hanxu in the north of the abandoned capital, but now, after running around for almost a night, they have arrived at this small town.
You can tell there's something wrong just by looking at Lu Tan's knees.
"Here are manuscript papers."
Shia handed the manuscript paper she just found under her seat to the two people in front of her.
The manuscript paper was stained with dirt, engine oil, and Shia's vomit. Lu Tan hesitated for a moment and said.
"Come and read it."
"?"
Drizzt looked at the manuscript paper mixed with the beautiful girl's vomit, his expression a little ugly.
"As a local, you can better understand the charm of the author's words, and maybe you can also gain some insights from the novel's words."
Lu Jian explained carefully.
"What if there is some scary and thrilling content in this that makes me lose my sanity, and then I go crazy and attack you?"
Drizzt did not take the manuscript paper and glanced at the vomit on it.
"Then I will take the responsibility of knocking you out, don't worry!"
Lu Tan spoke righteously.
"You two..."
Shia glanced at the two useless men and could only take back the manuscript paper and read it by herself.
Although the foreign text had been transformed by the Quiet Place so that she could read it easily, the things on the manuscript paper still gave Shia an unreasonable and bizarre feeling.
The content on the manuscript paper was obviously a continuation of the one they found in the house. The detectives set out on the road to Beihan Town. On the way, the vehicle was attacked by monsters and encountered strange phenomena, but they finally arrived at
arrived at the destination Beihan Town.
The buildings in Beihan Town have a very unique structure, which is different from the buildings in most abandoned cities that tend to be modern in style. This place is like a medieval castle in those knight novels, with a spire church and towering walls.
The people wear dark suits and hats. Although they look different, they give people the impression that they are carved from the same mold.
At the end of this section, the detectives heard the church bells ringing in the small town, and a group of suspicious-looking guys gathered towards the church. The detectives decided to enter the church to find out.
"The bells are ringing..."
After a night of hard work, Drizzt was a little tired. He continued to drive, preparing to find a parking place, and then asked the townspeople about the town and the ancient capital.
As soon as the car drove into the town, the three of them saw the townspeople.
Ding——
Drizzt's heart skipped a beat, because the townsman was wearing a black suit, a hat, and a briefcase in his hand, just like an ordinary office worker, but his dull expression was like a doll.
, giving people a strong sense of violation.
These townspeople are exactly the same as those I saw before arriving here.
Lu Tiao finally understood what it meant that although they looked different, they seemed to be carved from the same mold.
Because of such a numb and indifferent appearance, no matter what you look like, the impression given to others will be the same.
"Hello, is this Beihan Town?"
Lu Tan shouted to the other party.
When the man heard Lu Tan's inquiry, he looked at him warily and left immediately.
When he left, his eyes were still staring at Lu Jian. As his body moved, his head seemed to be fixed in the air, motionless. He only twisted his neck, and kept twisting, and then it exceeded ninety degrees, and the whole neck was twisted into
It's like twist, extremely scary.
"He doesn't seem very friendly."
Lu Tiao shrank back.
"...This is not a question of friendliness. His neck has become like that. This is the biggest problem."
Drizzt complained.
"You should be able to do that after training."
Lu Tan said, twisting his head and trying to go beyond ninety degrees, but soon failed.
"Pity."
"You're so sorry, there's something wrong with this town, we may have entered some strange place."
Drizzt whispered in memory as he continued to drive.
"Legend has it that in the ruined city, some cities were not destroyed, but were hidden by some supreme beings. The structure of these cities and the citizens were distorted by those supreme beings, and eventually they became a place.
A forbidden place, is this one of them?"
"What you are saying is as if we are about to become ordinary office workers wearing black suits and holding briefcases."
Lu Tan said something, and then a certain voice interrupted him.
Bang——
It was the low sound of heavy objects hitting heavy metal, which inexplicably resonated with people's heartbeats, making people palpitate.
Bang——
There was another sound, and Lu Jian saw that there were more people on the street.
Those "people" wearing black suits, holding briefcases, and with indifferent and strange expressions took to the streets and walked towards a tall house with a spire.
During this time, these people's eyes were fixed on the car. Their necks were twisted, like corpses with their necks broken.
The way they walk is also very strange, tiptoeing, as if they are doing something secretly, agile and fast.
"church?"
Shia remembered the description in the novel.
"Shall we go take a look?"
Lu Tian opened the car door and followed the example of those people and took two steps forward.
"?"
Drizzt looked at Lu Tiao's confused behavior and then looked at Shia.
"There shouldn't be any magic here that can cause brain damage, right?"
Hearing this, Shia closed her eyes seriously and remained silent for a moment before opening her eyes and answering.
"Probably not."
"..."
Drizzt took out the car keys, opened the door and got out of the car.
He hesitated for a moment, then followed Lu Tiao as he walked normally.
Shia put away the manuscript paper and followed.
The townspeople who walked in strange ways walked forward, some crossed the grass, some stepped over the fence, and more were walking on the road. Lu Jian imitated their appearance, sneaking around.
Everyone's eyes were sometimes fixed on Drizzt, sometimes on Shia, but they didn't seem to be looking at Lu Jian.
"Could it be that by imitating them, you can hide yourself?"
Drizzt felt that this idea was too stupid, but when he saw Lu Tiao's appearance, he also tried to imitate those people's steps.
Unexpectedly, the eyes of the townspeople were focused on Xia at the same time.
Shia also began to follow the steps of the townspeople.
Suddenly, everyone's heads turned back and faced forward.
"...It actually works. Does this mean that those who don't walk this way are foreigners?"
Drizzt didn't know why. He saw in front of the crowd a magnificent church with classic stained glass and a spire. However, what was painted on those stained glass was scenes of human beings being tortured and even transformed into monsters.
"church......"
He thought of the novel's description.
Lu Tan had already followed the group of people into the church.
