Chapter 1873 Temporary Winner
Liu Miao found out Thysent's map and walked in front to lead the way.
The different spaces in this town seem to have been broken, but they have not become normal, and return to reality. The ghosts in the houses along the street are considered a proof.
"This way, we have to go to the original site of Morris Town, which is a bit far away." Liu Miao found out where we are now.
We didn't go far, and we heard the sound of the car engine again. The police car that had just driven away came back. The policeman looked at us helplessly.
"What's wrong with you? Haven't returned home yet? Are you from another place and staying in the hotel here?" The policeman put his arm on the car door and looked out to ask us.
"We want to find Morris Town." Wu Ling became the negotiator among us again.
The policeman asked about the place name and shook his head and said, "We are Thysent, and there is no place called Morris nearby. You have found the wrong one. I'll take you to the hotel and don't run around. It's really..."
The problem is, we did not book a hotel here.
I glanced at Wu Ling.
Wu Ling reported a hotel name. They were obviously prepared for this. If there were no accidents, we would probably go there to rest after arriving in Thysent.
The police nodded and signaled us to get in the car.
Han Yun was also very dissatisfied and muttered, "I'm so troublesome. When will this be dragged to? Where is that little devil hiding? Hey, can you still use your divination?"
Wu Ling ignored him and started talking to the police.
"...Mrs. Winter is old and has a neurasthenia and is always awake in the middle of the night. When she was young, she was a novelist. Haha! Actually, she was a full-time housewife and only published a detective novel. However, it was not published when the detective novel was published, but a love story. She lives next to the Reina family. The Reina family became a haunted house, and after it became famous online, people like you were endless." The policeman named Tom was very talkative, had no hostility towards us, and he had no malice.
My previous guess is correct. He is used to this kind of thing.
The Reina family is the family of young ghosts. I heard that their last name was Jackson.
"Jackson? Who? The house of the Reina family has been empty for a long time. The current heir is a distant relative of their family. He lives abroad and has never dealt with the house." Tom looked at Wu Ling, "What stories have you heard? That house has always been the house of the Reina family. Their family went bankrupt during the economic crisis. Reina killed his father, accidentally killed his wife and eldest daughter, and then was arrested. Their son committed suicide in the house. After the eldest son owed debt, he disappeared. There was also a young daughter who was not an adult at the time and sent to a welfare home. Well... she never came back later. She was not an obedient child."
"The house has been empty?" Wu Ling confirmed.
Tom nodded.
"How many years are it now?" Wu Ling asked again.
Tom looked at Wu Ling again, "What?"
"How many years are it now?"
"It's 2012." Tom replied with a weird expression.
Eleven years ago!
I was shocked and clenched my fists.
In that scene, I didn't see the specific time, but now it seems that the problem with this alien space is that not only these souls, but also the overall time, have been backwards for eleven years.
Tom complained to us on the road about the harm of our behavior.
The tragedy of the Reina family unknowingly turned into a supernatural story, attracting many people like us. No one cared about their houses, and the appearance was very consistent with the scenes of ghost stories, and the more things spread, the more they spread. Mrs. Winter was very angry about it. She was often knocked on the door by strangers and asked about the Reina family. In the middle of the night, she would hear someone running, screaming, and laughing in the abandoned house of Reina family. Just think about it and know how bad it was.
"However, we all say that the first person who started to spread the message was Mrs. Winter. She told others that she saw ghosts at Reina's house, and this kind of rumor gradually came into being. She also wanted to write a detective story, the story of Reina killing her family." Tom said.
This matter doesn't make much sense to us.
Wu Ling asked about the history of Thysent Town and asked if there were any strange phenomena here.
Tom laughed, "We're a small place, not so many legends. During the economic crisis, only the Reina family suffered heavy losses. They gambled and bought a lot of stocks. I heard that their eldest son owed usury. It was those things."
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, and Tom said goodbye to us in a good mood.
At this time, it was already early in the morning and you could see the white fish in the sky.
"It seems that time is wrong. That ghost has the upper hand." Wu Ling said.
Lina did not control the town, but instead let the young ghost control the time.
"If it were him, wouldn't it be time to go back to an earlier time?" Guo Yujie asked in confusion.
"No, it should be this time. Maybe it's recently that the Jacksons' family is moving here." I raised a possibility.
I think that ghost likes the Jacksons more. Compared to the family where everyone shows an ugly face, he should prefer the Jacksons who are very harmonious from beginning to end. The collapse of the Jacksons is not because they did evil things, they are victims and have nothing wrong.
"It's better to go to the original site of Morris Town to see. Lina is likely to be there." Wu Ling said.
It is still a long way from the hotel to the original site of Morris Town, but it is much closer than before.
There was no taxi at this time, so we walked to the farm outside the town.
On the road, those ghosts were almost the same as toy people, living "freely". Compared to toy people, they seemed to be more free and had a certain degree of consciousness.
When we arrived at the original site of Morris Town, we found that there were no traces of the town left here. Even Han Yun could not find the existence of a different space.
Wu Ling found the farmer here. The farmer knew nothing about the name Morris. He lived here for generations, and he could trace back to his grandfather's generation. Going further forward, it seemed like a forest farm, but it was not a small town.
"It's gone?" Guo Yujie was confused.
We are not without gains here. Wu Ling paid the money and asked the farmer to borrow a dilapidated used car and drove back to the house of Rena.
As I inferred before, we saw the people who came to see the house.
Next to the Reina house, an old lady stood by the window on the first floor, looking around.
"You are..." After discovering us, a man in his thirties came over.
I recognized this as the Jacksons' male owner.
