Chapter 643: Ghost Town
Leaving the entrance of the town, Long Yun searched along the town's path and house-by-house, and finally found that there was no one here, and after entering more than a dozen rooms in a row, there was not a single ghost, and even the prisoner who was supposed to appear to deal with him was nowhere to be seen.
Long Yun returned to the middle of the town on the way, looking around blankly, this town has a strange sense of loneliness, so that Long Yun has a great resonance in his heart, people walk in, as if it is a kind of loneliness around you, you feel that the whole world is gone, you are the only one, all the people are gone, abandoned you, an inexplicable discomfort from the bottom of the heart.
"What the hell!" Long Yun cursed to himself, he didn't like this loneliness very much, maybe because he was an orphan since he was a child, orphans have no family, no matter how much the director of the orphanage loves him, although the grace of raising is better than the love of birth and nurturing, it can't replace the kind of blood connection that can't be seen or touched but is everywhere all the time.
"Lena, there are no people in this town, have you found any information about this town?" Long Yun was a little bored, if there was no one in the town, maybe the prisoner who was locked up here would have died? If that's the case, he must wait here until Fan Jian and the others find him, and then go to cell 6666 to find Snow together.
"Handsome guy, there is nothing to gain for the time being, there is no record from the Ministry of Defense, neither is the CIA, and we have also checked the database of the police and the Bureau of Land, Environment and Resources, it seems that this is really an accident." Lena said.
"It's not that simple, my gut tells me that there must be some unspeakable secrets going on in this town." Long Yun took out the cigarette in his pocket with some irritability, lit one, and said with a puff of white mist: "Look for it again, isn't Troy known as the most powerful artificial intelligence?" As long as she leaves traces on the web, she will definitely find it. ”
"Ok, I'll let you know if I find it."
After closing the line, Long Yun continued to smoke on the side of the road, and when he was halfway through the cigarette, suddenly there was a sound of metal colliding from his right, and it sounded as if someone had tripped over a metal plate or vase or something.
Long Yun's nerves tensed all of a sudden, and the muzzle of the gun was subconsciously aimed in the direction where the voice came from.
It was a two-story house, like all houses in rural America, mostly wood-framed, and Pennsylvania was rich in fir wood, and the inhabitants generally used local materials.
There was light in the room, but this did not mean that there were people inside, because many houses in this town were lit up, and Long Yun had already found more than ten houses, all of which were empty, and there were no living people, except for those lifeless furniture and furnishings.
Squeak –
Long Yun gently opened the wooden door with the barrel of his gun, and like all the previous houses, the door was not locked inside.
In the hall on the first floor, the lamp on the wall is dimly lit, the furnishings in the room are unusually simple, two of the three rooms are bedrooms, the bed is made of fir wood, which is still strong, there are more than a dozen mirror frames hanging on the wall, there is a warm photo of the family inside, a bare wooden shaft fell to the ground and rolled away, there are still pottery bowls and jars on the kitchen table, and the red checkered tablecloth is still clean although it is a little old.
There was a withered flower in the vase, the pitch-black stems seemed to be made of wire, a few blue miners' overalls hung on the wall, washed a little white, and the door of the refrigerator was plastered with small pieces of colorful paper with messages from family members.
Long Yun glanced at it roughly, and the date on the latest message note was: June 19, 1982.
In 1982? It's been 20 years since the accident in the town, and it seems that there are still people living here for 20 years after the coal mine under the town was set on fire.
20 years ...... Long Yun could almost feel how persistent and lonely those who insisted on staying, living in fear for 20 years in a town full of crises and not knowing if the fire would burst out of the cracks and burn everything to the ground in the next second, it seems that the townspeople still have a lot of feelings for this place.
Long Yun couldn't find the source of the sound on the first floor, so he found the stairs and turned on the laser aiming system on the HK416, which is very useful in close combat.
The stairs are very explained, and a layer of carpet that is not high-end is laid, and it is necessary to step on it. Long Yun slowly went up the stairs to the second floor, there were three rooms on it, it looked very clean, it seemed that the owner of this place had just left. After carefully searching the three rooms, there was no gain, and Long Yun couldn't help but think that he had heard it wrong.
He was about to go downstairs when he noticed a wooden ladder leaning against the wall of one of the rooms, which caught his attention. This room is a child's room, the walls are covered with various comic book characters, Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, etc., and there are some boys' toys thrown in the corner, and there is a children's bicycle.
There was a ladder in the bedroom, which was a bit unreasonable, Long Yun walked to the ladder, looked up, and sure enough, he found a moving door on the wooden board on the roof.
He suddenly remembered that this building should not be two-storey, but two-and-a-half floors, and the other half floor was a spired attic, and it seemed that the owner of the house had given the attic to the children to use for themselves, so he opened the exit here.
Long Yun lightly moved the ladder and set it up next to the movable door, then pulled out the FN57 pistol, turned on the laser on the gun, and then slowly stepped on the horizontal ladder to climb up.
Lifting the movable door a crack, Long Yun carefully glanced at the situation in the attic, the space above was quite large, and it was estimated that an adult like himself could stand by bending slightly, and after confirming it several times, he still didn't find any trace of anyone.
Long Yun thought about it, switched the night vision mode to thermal imaging state, and then observed.
Soon, behind a messy pile of debris, there seemed to be a few orange spots, which meant that the temperature was higher than the surrounding illusion.
"So you're ...... here" Long Yun determined the enemy's location, he wasn't sure whether to throw a grenade over or shoot a few shots there, it stands to reason that there wouldn't be any innocent people here, the only one who would have it was the vicious prisoner. To be eligible to be imprisoned in Doolin Prison is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it definitely deserves the word infamous.
Lifting the FN57, Long Yun aimed at the few orange spots, and the laser aiming light drew a straight red line in the field of vision of the night vision device, and landed accurately on the guy hiding behind the clutter pile.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a sobbing suddenly came from behind the pile of debris.
Long Yun instantly thought that he was hallucinating, yes, it was a sob, someone was crying!
Then there was another sound, this time clearer than the last.
It's a kid! There was no childishness in his voice, which Long Yun could definitely hear.
How can there be a child here? Long Yun's mood suddenly became complicated, could it be that the prisoner here is a child? Or is the child just some kind of hallucination created by the prisoner holding here?
He didn't dare to let his guard down, you know, now in this secret world he is in contact with, everything is possible, when Hela is not angry, she looks like a cute girl in a kindergarten, completely harmless to humans and animals, very attractive, who can know, she is actually a king who rules the underworld, the incarnation of death - Hela?
"Come out! I see you! If I don't come out, I'll shoot! Long Yun said loudly and threateningly.
