Chapter 577

The reason why Edwin found Blackwater Island was because he found a coordinate in the Necronomicon fragment, which was the location of Blackwater Island, and the name Blackwater Island could be found from it.

So why can't Shirley see it? The answer is that there is abyssal energy in it, and even the abyssal words that are pieced together in it, how can you see it as a human being?

Edwin is from the abyss, so he is naturally familiar with the abyssal energy, and he knows the abyss words, but the more this is the case, the more curious he becomes, could it be that this world has long been interfered with by the abyssal power? Otherwise, why is Cthulhu's Necronomicon in this world?

It is almost certain that this island must contain clues to the Necronomicon book, and Edwin is not alone in the Necronomicon book, and knows the power of this book better, so he is determined to obtain it.

I can't imagine that because of a whim, there is an unexpected gain, is it a reward for his good deeds?

All in all, Edwin would stay here for the next few days until he found a clue about the Necronomicon, or the true copy of the Necronomicon.

One will surely ask, isn't there not much time left for Intix to erase his memory? Why did Edwin waste his time searching for the Necronomicon?

In this regard, Edwin will tell you that the power of the Necronomicon is by no means as simple as summoning, time and space, and how can there be no spells in the 800 spells recorded in it that have been dissolved by other spells?

Now that there was no hope that Laura would lift Intix's ban, the Necronomicon became another option.

The first thing you do when you set foot on the island is to go to the taverns on the island and get some useful information.

From ancient times to the present, the tavern has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes, and among these people there are three sects and nine streams, and the news is naturally very well-informed, and they have some understanding of the abnormal situation, which is exactly what Edwin needs.

When Edwin stepped into the tavern, he attracted everyone's attention, Blackwater Island was so big that it was almost immediately obvious that a stranger had arrived, and there had been no stranger visiting here for a long time, which also aroused their curiosity, and then whispered.

Edwin sat down at the bar, ordered a normal ale from the boss, and sat there without asking anything or doing anything strange.

Soon, the people around him lost interest in him and began to discuss his own affairs or gossip.

"Hey, you know what? The Thomson has not returned from its voyage, and it is said that it has sunk in the face of wind and waves. ”

"Poor old Thomson, I'm afraid he's already in the belly of a fish now, right? May God bless him. ”

"God will not bless heretics, but that guy worships some unknown evil god, and I am afraid that the reason why he sank the ship is also because he angered God."

"There's no such coincidence, is it?"

"Why not? Have you forgotten? How did the Hawkins family die halfway up the mountain? ”

"Shhh

The timely closing did not allow the topic to continue, and it seems that this matter has a great impact on the residents of Blackwater Island.

Edwin's heart couldn't help but move, he didn't expect to get useful news so quickly, this Hawkins family and the old Thomson who worshiped the unknown evil god might be a good clue.

"Outlander, what are you doing here on Blackwater Island?"

Edwin's thoughts were interrupted by the tavernkeeper's sudden remarks, and he smiled and replied, "I'm just curious about this fisherman's paradise." ”

The tavern owner did not doubt him, and began to introduce the history of Blackwater Island, "Since the beginning of Blackwater's existence, it has been a habitat for fishermen, and the fish and seafood here have supplied almost two-thirds of the markets in Great Britain, and the fishermen here have lived here for generations, simple and kind, you are in the right place, you will be well entertained here." ”

Edwin nodded, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Boss, I'm curious, since this place has always been indisputable, and the islanders are kind and simple, then why were the Hawkins family burned to death halfway up the mountain?" ”

When the tavern owner heard this, his face immediately changed, and he looked around nervously, and when he was sure that no one heard the conversation between the two men, he whispered, "If you want to have a pleasant visit to this island, then it is better not to mention the Hawkins, because it is taboo!" ”

Edwin pretended to be confused, "What's the taboo law?" ”

The tavernkeeper became expressionless and asked, "Guest, you've finished your wine." ”

There was no mention of whether the cup needed to be refilled, apparently because Edwin was evicted.

Edwin chuckled and drank down the ale, put down his glass and left the tavern, though he didn't get any useful information from the tavernkeeper's mouth, but he was sure that he could start with the Hawkins incident.

Unbeknownst to Edwin at the tavern where he had left, there was a man in the tavern who had left with him when he saw him leave.

When the tavern owner saw this man, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Edwin walked out of the tavern with a clear purpose, the villa where the Hawkins family used to live halfway up the mountain.

It is at least 20 kilometers to drive from the pier to the halfway up the mountain, and it takes about half a day to walk on foot.

Finding a car shop in the dock town, Edwin offered to hire a car, and when he said his destination, the commander hurriedly waved his hand to no, "No, you can let me go anywhere, even if it's to the sea, but not there!" ”

Edwin raised an eyebrow and stretched out his hand, his fingers spread, "I'll pay five times as much." ”

A hint of struggle flashed in the commander's eyes, but he shook his head firmly, "No, you can't say anything!" Please go back, sir, I also advise you, don't go to that place, it's an ominous place, it's dangerous, and you could lose your life at any time. ”

Edwin couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "It's just a place, as for being so nervous?" I don't believe this place is any more dangerous than Bermuda. Well, how about I pay ten times as much? ”

At this time, the driver was silent, and the struggle in his eyes was extremely violent, as if he was hesitating whether to kill or money.

There is a saying in China that money can make ghosts grind, and ghosts can be bought by money, let alone people?

As a result of hesitation, the driver gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" I'm going to make this trip. ”

Ten times the pay, enough for him not to work for nearly a year, and the place halfway up the mountain is just a legend that it is dangerous, and he has never been there, maybe it is just a prank by some people? So the reward is real, and the danger may not be there. For the sake of non-existent danger, there is no money to be made.

Sitting in the car, after the car started, Edwin also turned on the small talk mode to talk, "I'm curious, why are you so taboo about the Hawkins family." ”

With an attitude of ignoring the danger for a long time, the driver also went from being tight-lipped at the beginning to the point of talking about nothing, "Speaking of which, this was three years ago, the Hawkins family is a famous good person on our Blackwater Island, and the ancestors of the male owner Charlie Hawkins are one of the first people to discover and live on Blackwater Island, so if you find an owner for this island, the Hawkins family is the owner of this island." For generations, the family seems to have studied archaeology and discovered the wealth left by the pirates of the past, so their family has always been rich. ”

So why was such a civilized and wealthy family burned down overnight? Who did it? Enemies of the Hawkins family? ”

It is indeed curious, wealth represents power, it can be said that no one should dare to touch the Hawkins family on Blackwater Island, so how could such a family accumulated over generations be burned overnight? It's really curious.

Could it be that they took something from those pirate treasures that they shouldn't have taken? So incurring a curse?

The driver's words negated Edwin's thoughts, "The Hawkins family has no enemies, and they have always been supported by the islanders of Blackwater Island, how can there be enemies?" If you really want to talk about it, it has to start with the woman marrying into the Hawkins family seven years ago..."

Sarah Scobert, London shipping tycoon, Edward Scobert's daughter, is a well-known niche painter, a standard British beauty, was chased by Charlie Hawkins in every possible way, and it also caused British media reports at the time, saying that Charlie Hawkins is the happiest man, because Sarah Scobert is perfect, rich, talented, good-looking, and kind-hearted, which makes countless men jealous of Charlie Hawkins' luck.

The union of the two reaped the blessings of the islanders, who also thought that the two were a match made in heaven, but it turned out that this was not the case.

In the first year of marrying into Blackwater Island, there was nothing out of the ordinary, Sarah Hawkins became the hostess of Blackwater Island, and as the Hawkins family tradition, she was kind and generous, actively helping those who were poor, and taking care of their loved ones instead of those fishermen who were shipwrecked.

It was supposed to be perfect, until something very unusual happened.

An old woman who had been cared for by Sarah Hawkins died, in the middle of the night, in a miserable state, half of her body was gone, as if she had been eaten by a wild beast, and her internal organs were bleeding all over the ground, which is hard not to think of whether she had been attacked by a wild beast.

The islanders spontaneously organized a search for the beasts that attacked the old woman on the island, but found nothing, and gradually they had to stop there.

As time passed, everyone gradually forgot about it, but just before they were about to forget, a similar accident happened.

A child who was also cared for by Sarah Hawkins was left with only a young head this time.

If one thing is an accident, then the two things are not a coincidence, and the town's Officer Bradley deduces that it is a serial homicide, and qualifies that these things are all believed.

This also caused panic and mutual suspicion among everyone, and the residents of Blackwater Island, who had been united, became distrustful of anyone, and would report anything unusual to each other.

It seems that from this moment, Blackwater Island can no longer go back to the past.

The murder is still happening, but the murderer has not been caught, and the suspicion has gradually fallen to the Hawkins family, which is inevitable and has to be investigated.

However, the result of the investigation was nothing unusual, the police returned in vain, and the incident was still fermenting.

The unbelieving Officer Bradley sneaks into Hawkins' villa, witnesses the monster in Sarah Hawkins' painting, watches it jump out of the window, and the next day, someone dies in the town.

It's no coincidence, Officer Bradley has determined that he attributed it all to Sarah Hawkins using supernatural abilities to kill the islanders for sacrifice, so he reveals the truth and rushes towards Hawkins' house with angry villagers.

As a result, halfway through, the Hawkins house suddenly caught fire, the smoke billowed out, and the people were stunned, and then just watched the Hawkins house being engulfed in flames.

Later, three charred bodies were found at the scene, one large and one small, reminiscent of the Hawkins and their three-year-old son.

In this way, the once prosperous Hawkins family turned into dust, leaving only an elderly housekeeper to guard the burned old mansion and the cemetery of the Hawkins family, and talk about the rest of his life.

"Everyone believes that this fire was set by Sarah Hawkins, and that she with supernatural abilities is a messenger of demons who brings killing and destruction, and the place where she died, of course, is cursed, which is why we have not dared to go anywhere."

After understanding the Hawkins family's antecedents, Edwin pondered for a moment and asked the driver a question, "Do you think those people killed Sarah Hawkins?" ”

In the rearview mirror, a trace of hesitation flashed on the driver's face when he heard the words, and then a wry smile appeared, "To be honest, in fact, I don't want to believe that this is the truth, but we can't help but believe the fact that the facts are in front of us." Before these things happened, Sarah Hawkins had an excellent reputation in the eyes of our islanders, and who didn't love her? But it's just..."

Edwin was noncommittal, he didn't think it was Sarah Hawkins' doing, human personality is not so easy to change, if she insisted that these were her disguises, then she was really terrible, so she preferred to believe that it was because of other unexplainable reasons, such as the purpose of his trip.

Necronomicon!
