The deep fog didn't seem to have any borders.
Fangzheng and Nimf walked through the fog without encountering any problems. Fangzheng even found Doraemon, whom he had lost contact with earlier. Doraemon wasn't damaged but simply unusable. Everything seemed normal as far as the eye could see. It didn't look like the fog was bombarded by the reassembling machine or the first flame at all.
Of course, it was more likely that they recovered in the shortest time possible.
"Nimf, did you find anything?"
"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't find anything. This seems to be pure fog … But my search can't penetrate it."
"Hmm, let's see what happens."
Upon hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng knitted his brows, scanned the surroundings, and continued walking forward.
Did I end up in Silent Hill?
At that moment, Fangzheng discovered that Nimf suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?"
"Ugh … Sorry, Master, please wait a moment."
Nimf said with a frown. Then, Fangzheng saw her azure eyes automatically shrink and readjust. After a few moments, Nimf's expression returned to normal.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Master."
"I don't mind. Is there a problem?"
"Yes, the information feedback in this place is a little special. I just changed the signal I received and adjusted it with the information output in this area. There's no problem now."
"Is that so? That's good … "
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng nodded. Then, he was taken aback.
"Wait, what do you mean the information feedback in this place is a little special?"
"It means that the input value has changed compared to the outside world. Ah, please wait a moment."
As she spoke, the little angel extended her hand. Soon, Fangzheng saw a small white cube appear between her hands. Then, the little angel held the cube in her hands and handed it to Fangzheng.
"Please, Master."
"Okay."
Fangzheng naturally had complete trust in the little angel. He took the cube and squeezed it hard. The white cube instantly shattered, turned into light particles, and fused with Fangzheng's body. At the same time, Fangzheng finally heard a sound similar to the whistling of the wind in the distance. He hadn't heard this sound before.
"Did you hear it?"
"Of course, Master. I heard it too."
The two looked at each other and hastened their steps toward the source of the sound.
As the two of them ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. The thick fog gradually thinned, and they saw a dilapidated dirt road in front of them. It seemed that there were very few people on this road. And just like that, after walking along this path for about half an hour, the two of them finally broke through the fog and appeared under the sunlight once again.
It was a barren field and there didn't seem to be any signs of human habitation. Fangzheng turned around and saw a pitch-black, dilapidated train tunnel. There wasn't the slightest trace of white fog in it.
In other words, this is some kind of enchanted field? According to Nimf, only by changing the receiving mode can one enter?
This wasn't strange. The other reason why Fangzheng was willing to let Nimufu follow him was that the little angel was now a demigod. Although her personal attack strength was still weak at five, in terms of information manipulation, the little angel was already an extraordinary demigod. She could even be said to be at the level of an Oracle, an existence that could use divine powers.
Therefore, it wasn't beyond Fangzheng's expectations that she could detect the problem on the information level and solve the problem. According to Nimf, the previous victims obviously couldn't detect the problem like Sheyan and Nimf, which was why they got lost … But even so, it shouldn't have ended up like that, right?
What other secrets were hidden in this place?
Beep! Beep!
At this moment, a voice came from the foot of the mountain in the distance. The two looked in that direction and saw a shabby van that looked like it was about to be scrapped. It was making beeping sounds as it drove towards them.
Judging from the appearance of the van, it seemed to be from the early 20th century ….
Seeing this, Fangzheng frowned and signaled Nimf with his eyes. The little angel nodded and activated her invisibility mode, disappearing into thin air. Fangzheng snapped his fingers, and soon, flames flashed across his body. The next moment, Fangzheng transformed into a character in a black trench coat that looked like a traveler. Following that, Fangzheng gave a thumbs up to the car that drove over. Soon, the car stopped.
"Hey, I'm a traveler."
Fangzheng spread his hands to show that he meant no harm.
"As you can see, my luggage was stolen by a damned thief. I just want to go somewhere to have a good rest. I wonder if you can let me in the car?"
There was no response from the van. After a while, the door creaked open like the final radiance of a dying man. Fangzheng nodded and got on the shabby bus.
There was only one passenger in the whole bus. He was a foreign young man with brown hair and blue eyes. Of course, judging from everything in front of him, Fangzheng knew that he had transmigrated again unknowingly. But so far, the system had not issued him a mission. And unlike the previous times, this time, Fangzheng did not feel like he had transmigrated at all ….
"Ah, hello, sir."
The young man was obviously bored of being alone. When Fangzheng got on the bus, he immediately came over to chat with him. Fangzheng also disguised himself as an unlucky backpacker whose luggage was stolen. The young man also revealed his identity to Fangzheng.
The young man was obviously very excited to meet Fangzheng. After all, he had been travelling alone all this time, and Fangzheng's clothes made him look like a decent person. So, the young man quickly became familiar with Fangzheng.
From the young man, Fangzheng learned that his name was Francis, a very ordinary name with nothing special about it. His destination was Arkham. According to Francis, that was his mother's hometown. He planned to take in the local customs along the way. Of course, the high price of the train ticket was also one of the reasons why he had to choose this shabby old bus.
Not only that, Fangzheng also found out that this world should be around the 1930s, and it should be Earth in a certain timeline. But … if he had transmigrated, why hadn't there been any mission or notification so far?
Not to mention, this "transmigration" came without the slightest warning, unlike before … Could it be that the system had changed?
Or was there some kind of secret hidden in this?
While the two were talking, the bus started to go down the mountain. Soon, a dilapidated town appeared in front of Fangzheng and Francis.
It seemed to be a very prosperous town in the past, but perhaps because of years of disrepair, most of the houses here had almost collapsed. Only one building that looked like a factory was still intact. The port seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The pier had almost completely collapsed. To be honest, it was not surprising that the place was almost completely abandoned just by looking at its appearance.
Not only that, the windows of all the houses along the way were tightly sealed, and the courtyards seemed to have not been taken care of. There was rubbish everywhere. Some seemingly listless people were farming in the fields, while a group of equally dirty children, who looked like they had escaped from an African slum, were rolling and playing among the rubbish.
The fishy smell blew in from the broken window, making them feel a little uneasy. Although it was normal for such a smell to appear in a fishing port by the sea, even Fangzheng could feel the unpleasant atmosphere hidden in the fishy smell.
It was as if something was hiding in it.
Even the young man named Francis looked a little uneasy. Fangzheng could see that he had also noticed the strangeness of this place. Fangzheng believed that he must have regretted what he had done.
Sure enough, after getting off the bus, Francis immediately made a request to Fangzheng.
"Dear sir, from the way you speak, I can tell that you are a decent person. How about this, if you don't mind, can you stay with me in this hotel? To be honest, it's more convenient to travel with a companion on a journey like this, isn't it? "
"Of course not."
Fangzheng naturally would not refuse. There was no electronic payment system in this era, and he could not afford to take advantage of the FBI for the time being. It would be great if someone was willing to pay for it.
Francis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fangzheng's answer.
"That's great, sir. To be honest, I didn't expect this place to be so strange.... Although I've heard many rumours about Innsmouth, I still can't believe it when I see it with my own eyes.... It's not a good feeling to be alone in a place like this."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Fangzheng's face stiffened.
"I'm sorry, what did you say this place was.... called?"
"Innsmouth, sir."
Francis chuckled and carried his luggage down from the bus.
"To be honest, before this, I only thought that the locals were prejudiced against the residents here. But now that I look at it, this place is a little strange, isn't it?"
