Chapter 177 Colonel Aureliano stands before the firing squad
The dark night where the stars and moon are hidden.
A wilderness of fallen vegetation.
A battlefield full of chaos.
The giant beast that holds its breath.
There are also people who are frightened.
Harris only has one hand left to move, and his body is covered with wounds and various hidden injuries. Under such circumstances, it is already a remarkable thing for a human being to be able to barely move.
And in the face of a huge ghost, Harris can still remain rational, which is the most rare thing.
Even if Harris is unwilling to admit the similarities between himself and his father, he has to admit that he is exactly the same as the old man in terms of his stubborn character.
Just like the fool who was still chasing the truth before the town was destroyed.
Just like that stubborn old man who spent the rest of his life looking for hope to save his companions.
It's like you're still thinking about what's going on when you're about to die, instead of running away.
The bizarreness of what happened here and the complexity of the clues completely exceeded his expectations.
The situation in front of me can be said to be exactly the same as what that stubborn old man once encountered.
The town's police chief missed the opportunity to catch the murderer and discover the truth. Today, I also neglect to uncover the clues to the mystery...
The first clue was that the moment the giant fish monster appeared, he should have guessed that there was a problem with this huge transformation from two meters to four meters in a short period of time, from humanoid to beast.
The second clue is that Gotz was able to talk to him in a hoarse voice at the beginning, but afterwards he was always silent and didn't even pay attention to him. It was not because of his trust in his friends, but because of his contempt for the ants.
If the previous two clues can all be attributed to today's twists and turns and the ever-changing situation, then the last clue is a complete failure as a police officer...
Sebala once came to the police station and told the story of the mud monster that Gray saw that night. He always thought that this monster was the transformed creature of Gotz. But at that time, Gotz was lying on Madas Mountain with his life and death uncertain.
The mid-level lagoon welcomes Marcus’s rescue!
"That is to say...the fact of two monsters has always been right in front of my eyes...but I didn't notice it?"
Harris smiled bitterly and sat on the ground, his body and mind filled with frustration.
It was originally thought that the "ultimate disaster" in the lake mine had been expelled, the dark erosion was interrupted, and the interstellar vampires were annihilated. I thought that all misfortunes were over.
But a small negligence of his own caused this giant fish monster to wake up from the lagoon in the middle of the mountain and once again set off a storm of destruction. If such a giant monster came to the town, how much terrible damage would it cause? Who can stop it?
Is it Gotz, whose life or death is uncertain in front of him? Or is he himself, who is scarred and showing all his cards?
"What kind of monster is this..."
Harris desperately leaned his body against Goetz, feeling the coldness coming from his body, and there seemed to be a slight air flow blowing around him.
"That's not a monster..."
A weak voice came from the mouth of the fish monster next to him. He panted for a long time like a bellows before speaking the second sentence.
From the gray animal eyes of the fish-shaped Gotz, Harris saw the eternal gaze of the black sea abyss, with the aura of silence that melted away from the earth and the strange scales glanced towards his face.
In the reflection of the beast's eyes, Harris saw the giant monster cruelly devouring the minced meat on the ground, and heard Gotz's voice in his ears.
"That's my father..."
Harris looked on in horror and exclaimed.
"Your father! Dolanco! Was he the one who attacked me back then?"
Gotz nodded his huge head and gasped for a while.
"That was the first day that he died completely as a person, and it was also the first day that he transformed into a monster. At that time, he still remembered the appearance of the old man in his mind, so he didn't kill you after seeing your face clearly.
"
"But our family's curse is far from that simple..."
In this dark night with no hope, Goetz recalled the scene when his father took him to visit the old Yorkson for the first time.
…………
In front of the black and white tombstone, Goetz was shaking like a patient suffering from an emergency. His face was horrified as he looked at the dark cave that swallowed countless lives, as if he heard countless ghosts roaring and crawling out, about to invade the world of the living.
But the father patted his shoulder and encouraged the child in his usual way.
"Be brave, my child. True courage is not to ignore the immediate danger, but to open your eyes until the last moment of life. After Antonio's death, those undead souls have long fallen asleep."
Young Gotz asked his father in confusion, "How did Uncle Antonio die? Was he killed by these ghosts?"
Father shook his head, pulled out the grass from old Yorkson's grave as a base, and sat down.
"A few days before the town collapsed, Old Yorkson found me and said he needed my strength."
"I hesitated for a long time that day and didn't agree to him. Because I had always suspected that old Yorkson was related to Antonio's death. The poor guy was thrown off the cliff from a high place and was almost shattered to pieces, but there were traces at the scene
It seems that he crawled on the same spot for about a hundred meters before he finally died."
"Can you imagine? It's like a man breaking his own neck and then tying a tie on himself."
Goetz tried to restore that action in his mind, but the first thing he thought of was a man whose whole body was shattered, squirming forward like a snake on the ground, dripping with blood but refusing to die.
"Old Yorkson denied it and sincerely apologized to me for his previous defensiveness against me."
"He told me a theory: People can only punish evil, and only weirdness can punish weirdness."
"When disaster memes spread crazily, only a creature that transcends human limits can independently complete the unspeakable task of expelling it."
The young Gotz looked at his father in front of him in confusion, and asked with a child's unique sense of pride: "Father, are you the most powerful in town?"
Dolanco stroked his brown hair lovingly and denied: "I'm just an ordinary person. What old Yorkson said is the blood lurking in our bodies."
"In his mouth, the cursed bloodline called the Deep Diver..."
Having said this, Dolanko hugged Goetz tightly in his arms and spoke into his ear with worry and concern.
"My child, if one day your father no longer recognizes you, you must run as far away as possible. What you see then will definitely not be me, but some other existence."
"But no matter how long I leave, you must remember that father loves you..."
Listening to his father's sincere words, Gotz couldn't help but hug the savage man's arms even tighter and lean against his ragged clothes.
But gradually, Gotz felt that the force holding him was getting stronger and stronger, and then he was a little out of breath. So he struggled from side to side, but he felt his father's fingers became sharp, repeatedly touching his spine, arteries, ribs, and abdomen.
Moving.
