Chapter 101 Liuhua Twelve Streets (two in one)
Drake really wanted to dig through the walls of the tunnel to see the secrets hidden in the tunnel. However, this was not something that a small F-level mysterious investigator could make his own decisions. Even if he was not an A-level mysterious investigator, he
In the event of an actual emergency, there is no right to act first and then act later.
After all, this tunnel can be regarded as an urban cultural heritage.
Despite this, Drake has no intention of giving up on finding the missing boy.
The recent frequent disappearances in Liuhua Port are almost all related to the group of "fish-men", and the secrets of the fish-men may be hidden under the tunnel. There is a high probability that the disappearance of the young man is inseparable from this tunnel. How many fish-men are there?
If the two parties work together to solve the mysterious disappearance case in Liuhua Port, they may be able to find the missing boy.
Before he left, Derek glanced at the young man's parents who were looking at him expectantly. He didn't speak or express his opinion. He just quickly and calmly withdrew his gaze and walked away from them in a steady pace.
It's not that he is too cruel, but that he cannot give the parents any guarantee.
Drake ate something casually, during which time he asked his mission coordinator to look up a piece of information - local historical information related to the fishmen.
After breakfast, the task coordinator happened to send a message, and he immediately stopped a passing taxi.
"Sir, where are you going?" The taxi driver glanced at Drake through the rearview mirror and was a little surprised when he saw the mixed-race appearance.
"Liuhua Twelve Street." Drake glanced at his phone and replied, then immediately put away his phone and leaned on the back of the car's back seat with his eyes closed to meditate.
He didn't sleep all night, and was exposed to a lot of knowledge in a short period of time that almost destroyed his perspective. In order to maintain a clear enough idea for him to solve the next case, he had to take a good rest.
"Okay." The taxi driver set off immediately. He glanced at Drake, who seemed to be sleeping, and shook his head, as if he was a little regretful that he could not have a good chat with the foreign passengers who could speak Chinese.
The Liuhua Twelve Street that Drake mentioned is located in the Shidong District of Liuhuagang City, nearly an hour's drive from where he is.
Although the one-hour drive was long, it was still a bit too short for the sleep-deprived Drake. When he woke up from the car, he did not enjoy the satisfaction of sleep.
With a hint of displeasure, he got out of the car and walked into Liuhua Twelve Street, a "picture scroll" full of modern and historical style.
According to the reply sent by the task coordinator, the history of the city of Liuhua Port has an incomprehensible relationship with the "fish people".
This city was born because of the ocean, but its prosperity is inseparable from the "fish people".
There was once a mysterious organization that believed in "fish-men" in the land of Liuhua Port. The organization believed in fish-men and often held sacrificial ceremonies for the fish-men, as if they worshiped the fish-men as gods, and the fish-men also seemed to know the thoughts of human beings.
In order to give back to the humans on the shore, these fishmen will give all the gold, silver and jewelry salvaged from the bottom of the sea to the humans who believe in them.
Since the sea monsters that hurt people and broke ships frequently appeared in Liuhua Port, a large number of treasures sank in the nearby waters. However, humans at that time were limited by their fragile bodies and crude tools, and they could not go down to the deep sea to salvage these treasures.
After discovering that murlocs could bring them value and benefits, almost no one could resist the temptation and began to believe in murlocs. As a result, more and more members of this mysterious organization became members.
If you can whore for free and eat for free, then you can be more trustworthy about fishmen and the like.
After acquiring the wealth of the fishmen, the city gradually grew and became one of the most prosperous cities of that era.
However, everything has its ups and downs, and this mysterious organization that once brought huge wealth to the city gradually fell silent, and finally seemed to disappear in the long river of history.
Nowadays, there is a museum in Liuhua Twelve Street, which still contains information about the mysterious organization.
Drake came here just to find out about the mysterious organization. If he could find clues related to the disappearance case and the shark disease, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.
Soon, Drake found records about the mysterious organization in a copy of an ancient book on the second floor of the museum, and finally learned the true name of the mysterious organization - Anhai Shenhui.
Except for the degree of dilapidation, the copy and the original ancient book are almost one-to-one reproduction. The cover is different from the ancient book. Both are painted with a strange symbol, a pattern similar to an eye, except that the eye is a fish.
The fishmen worshiped by the Anhai God Association are not a group of fishmen, but the leader of the fishmen. Their leader is also the king of the fishmen and is honored as the God of Anhai.
"Is it that big fish?" Drake thought of the giant fish-man he had seen in his dream.
The Anhai God Association was established only because the Anhai God defeated the sea monsters that always attacked tourists and local fishermen at that time. If it can continue and grow, as mentioned before, the Anhai God and his dependent people will give
Humans who believe in them bring wealth.
And when Drake wanted to know why the Anhai Shenhui suddenly declined, he found that the back of the copy was blank.
Drake's careful reading of the copybook seemed to have caught the attention of a certain museum guide. She came to Drake with a professional smile and said, "Sir, how can I help you?" she said.
, his smiling eyes suddenly jumped in surprise, and his smile immediately became strangely ambiguous.
Drake could see the strange changes in the conductor's expression, but he remained calm.
In fact, it wasn't just the conductor who was a little strange. Ever since he entered this street, whenever he passed by or approached the merchants and residents living here, he could always feel the strange eyes of those "locals".
It was not a sense of unwelcome and vigilance, but rather a kind of enthusiasm and curiosity that the villagers felt when they saw a wanderer who had been away for many years returning home.
However, these enthusiasms were mixed with disturbing "fanaticism" and "adoration", and Drake could only feel a sense of discomfort from the bottom of his heart. He suppressed his nausea and resistance and responded to the question of the usher lady: "Why is there no more at the end?"
Where is it?"
The guide lady smiled and said: "Because the originals in the display cabinet are no longer available at this point, and the copies can only be copied up to this point."
"That's it." Derek nodded.
He didn't believe it.
"Sir, if you want to know what happened next, I happen to know a little bit and can answer it for you." The conductor noticed that Drake had a hint of displeasure, and suddenly her smile faded, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.
Drake frowned slightly. He was very puzzled by this inexplicable respect. The doubts in his heart became more and more confusing like a hairball. "I want to know about the subsequent development of the Anhai Shenhui organization."
"The Anhai God Society fell silent due to a subsequent turmoil, and that storm was a blessing brought by the Anhai God." The conductor replied immediately. At this point, a trace of resentment showed on her face, "Human beings reject Anhai.
The god brought the blessing of immortality to mankind, and regarded the blessing as a curse. Those evolved people who received the blessing were ruthlessly suppressed, many people died, and the Anhai God Society withered because of this... This is really a tragedy."
When Derek listened to the conductor's words, he couldn't tell what the lady was angry about or what she was calling a tragedy.
"What is a blessing?" Drake didn't want to listen to the other party beating around the bush, he wanted to hear the answer, even though he had already guessed it.
"Become a servant of the God of Anhai and gain the opportunity to live forever." The conductor replied. She bowed slightly as she spoke.
Is this really what happened...
The so-called blessing from the God of Anhai is the shark disease!
Drake's heartbeat began to accelerate, and the masseter muscles on his cheeks were trembling. He noticed the gesture of the usher lady bowing to him, and soon noticed the enthusiastic attention of other museum employees around him, a bold and cautious guess.
Born in his heart.
The employees in this museum... no, even the aborigines on this entire street, they are all the remnants of the Anhai God Society. They are waiting for the return of the God of Anhai, and they are longing for that "blessing".
And when he appeared here, bathed in "blessings" because of his bloodline, to them, they were like seeing an envoy sent by the God of Anhai, who came to guide them to realize their great ideals.
After thinking about it like this, Drake finally understood why these people had such a weird reverence for him, although he didn't know how these people confirmed that he was suffering from "Merman Disease".
With such doubts, Derek came to the bathroom with his heart pounding. Only then did he realize that his eyes began to show a strange color. The whites and pupils were definitely not human. The whites of the eyes were yellow and shiny, but the pupils were yellow.
Dilation and pupil divergence.
"Ahem." Derek suddenly felt a stinging pain in his heart and lungs, and then coughed out. A fishy smell came out of his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of acidic water with blood, filling the entire sink.
Drake opened his mouth in disbelief, and then he discovered to his horror that his teeth began to become abnormally jagged, as if they were turning into the teeth and mouth of a shark.
The early symptoms of the shark disease finally began to appear on him, and the reaction was so violent.
Derek looked at himself in the mirror and said: "I am... I am Derek Wu, a detective..."
He had to repeatedly confirm that his voice was still normal, that his vocal cords had not been completely alienated by the shark disease, and that his brain was still thinking clearly.
After confirming that his mind was still clear, Drake decided that he would talk less from now on to prevent other normal people from noticing his weirdness.
He didn't know why his mutated symptoms suddenly accelerated. Maybe the mutated speed of the shark's disease was so fast. After all, Drake ran out of the museum as if he was running away, escaping from this six-person gathering place where lunatics and madmen gathered.
Hua Twelfth Street.
He hurriedly stopped a taxi and got in. When the car started, he heard a familiar voice from the driver asking: "Are you done shopping so quickly? Don't you plan to watch it for a while longer?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Derek was startled. He raised his head stiffly and saw that the taxi driver was actually the one who sent him here. He seemed to have been waiting for him to get out of this street before he could get there.
Receive yourself in an instant.
It was also at this time that Drake finally noticed that the pendant on the taxi driver's chest was the pattern of the Anhai Shenhui!
"Who are you!?" Drake could no longer restrain his impulse and began to question the taxi driver.
"You are indeed very similar to her." The driver smiled with emotion and said, "My name is Ma Hong, dear messenger."
"Tell me, what do you know and what are you hiding? Are the recent mysterious disappearances in Liuhua Port related to you?" Derek asked the man in front of him in a deep voice.
The driver, Ma Hong, respectfully and truthfully confessed: "We will definitely tell you everything we know. As for the question you want to ask about the disappearance case, I can tell you, yes, it is indeed inseparable from us.
relationship."
Ma Hong's eyes showed enthusiasm, bloodshot eyes filled with excitement, he opened his mouth ferociously, and spit out every word with two rows of old yellow teeth: "The stars are about to return, and our God will wake up from his deep sleep. At that time, God's messengers will
He will lead His believers to welcome His return. The Son of God will use twin spirits and blood, soul and flesh to construct an incarnation for Him that walks in the world. Then His incarnation will lead us to spread the gospel to the world..."
"Madman!" Drake cursed angrily, "That's not God at all!"
It is not gods who fall from the sky, demons can also come from outside.
Ma Hong smiled. He did not argue with Drake. He just said to himself: "When the stars return to their alignment and my god wakes up, you will believe everything I say."
As he said that, Ma Hong happened to park his car at an intersection waiting for a traffic light.
Derek Shenhe forcefully opened the car door and jumped out of the car. He looked at the driver in the taxi in confusion, only to see Ma Hong still looking at him with a smile on his face. The driver didn't even stop him from leaving.
