Chapter 706: The Resurrection Town(1/2)
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
It was past twelve o'clock, and the bell suddenly rang.
Of course, Fang Cheng and Isis would not be scared. They turned their heads and looked in the direction of the bell, and found that the old-fashioned wall clocks hung on the wall of the living room were ringing.
The clock sounded nothing strange, but the problem was that it was a wall clock a century and a half ago, the kind that needed to be winded, and it was rotten to the point of being distorted.
The wall clock suddenly brought a strange atmosphere when it rang, as if the rhythm of the opening of a supernatural movie, and the originally hot temperature suddenly became cold.
In addition to the bell ringing, various subtle movements came from outside the house. Through the window, you could vaguely see the light coming.
Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other, and the two quickly walked out of the living room and opened the door.
The town outside the door has completely changed its appearance.
The poisonous fog floating in the air has disappeared, and the thick dust on the ground, like volcanic ash, also disappeared, revealing the flat gravel road surface.
The dilapidated and rotten houses were all restored, and light lights were revealed in the windows, and occasionally people flashed.
At this time, Fang Cheng and Isis were finally surprised.
What's going on?
Fang Cheng's blood has always been scattered throughout the town. He can be sure that no abnormalities occurred in the town before twelve o'clock.
When the pointer skipped twelve o'clock, his blood disappeared, and the entire town completely changed.
It seems that it will be back to the scene half a century ago before the fire occurred.
Fang Cheng and Isis looked back at the same time. The originally dilapidated house behind them was also completely renewed, and the door that was opened in the last second had been closed.
The light was revealed in the crack of the door below, and a woman's faint humming voice came from inside the house.
Fang Cheng and Isis's eyes easily penetrated the door and saw the situation inside the house.
The environment inside the house is also completely renewed. A middle-aged man is crossing his legs and sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper.
In the kitchen next to it, the hostess was humming a song while preparing food, and there was a young child eating snacks next to her.
Obviously, this is the family of three in the house.
The two looked at each other, and Isis frowned and said, "Is it an illusion?"
"What hallucinations can fool you and me?"
Fang Cheng asked back, then released the blood again: "Wait for me to see what's going on."
His blood spread throughout the town in an instant.
As expected, all the damaged areas have been restored and thousands of residents in the town have been resurrected.
Most people prepare food at their own homes, while a small number of people stay in the only tavern in the town to drink happily, and they should be single dogs.
From the surface, this is an ordinary remote town with thousands of ordinary residents.
However, the town was destroyed half a century ago, and these residents had died half a century ago.
Everything suddenly restored, and the residents of the town suddenly resurrected, and the fool knew there was something wrong.
And the time is not right. It’s twelve o’clock now, so why are these residents just starting to prepare dinner?
Fang Cheng's blood continued to expand outward and soon flew outside the town.
Apart from the lush vegetation outside the town, there is only one road that sinks into the deep night.
As Fang Cheng's blood expanded, he soon discovered something was wrong.
After leaving the town for a few kilometers, the vegetation disappeared, the road disappeared, and outside fell into darkness where you could not see your fingers.
Fang Cheng is very familiar with this situation. Isn’t this the crack in the subspace?
He continued to let the blood expand into the darkness, and soon he lost contact with the blood and completely disappeared.
Sure enough, the entire town was like a lonely island, surrounded by dark cracks.
After Fang Cheng discovered this, he immediately tried to open the subspace crack and successfully entered the subspace of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.
This made him feel relieved. Fortunately, he could open the space crack, which means that even if he encountered any danger, there would be a safe way out.
When Isis saw Fang Cheng suddenly disappear and appear again, she couldn't help but ask: "Did you find anything?"
Fang Cheng nodded slightly and told her about his discovery.
Isis was also surprised after hearing this.
Obviously, this is a special subspace where the town and residents are resurrected.
But the reason for all this is not yet clear.
Isis asked in contemplation: "Have you checked the mine?"
“Inspecting.”
Fang Cheng replied that his blood had spread toward the mine.
The mine was quiet, and the underground fire that had burned for half a century had disappeared.
The well was messy and covered with primitive and rough mining equipment, with only a few vigil workers and the dogs they raised making noises.
Fang Cheng's blood penetrated deep into the mine without any damage from underground fire. The situation inside the mine was not complicated, and several mine caves dug were quickly explored.
Fang Cheng's blood continued to go deeper along the mineral deposits. After several kilometers, it also penetrated into the cracks in the subspace.
In this way, he had completely investigated the town and the surrounding environment.
Nothing was discovered except for the resurrection of the town and the residents.
Isis was a little muggy about this situation. She frowned and was about to speak when the door behind them suddenly opened.
"Huh, who are you?"
The mistress of the house held a basin of water in both hands, as if she was about to come out and pour it out. After opening the door, she saw these two strangers standing in front of her house.
Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other, and then extended their hand at the same time.
The hostess was easily subdued before she even made a scream.
Fang Cheng and Isis returned to the house, and soon the family of three lay down neatly.
Of course, there was no injury. Fang Cheng and Isis would not kill people at will without knowing anything. If they touched any taboos, they would have no place to cry.
After subduing the family of three, Fang Cheng thought about them one by one.
Isis was waiting aside, and after Fang Cheng stopped, he asked, "How is it?"
Fang Cheng shook his head: "There is no problem with their memory."
From memory, although her husband and wife are both outsiders, they have lived in the town for many years and work in mining companies.
Children's memory is even simpler. They eat, sleep, play, and eat.
Isis also checked the three of the family and confirmed that they were all living ordinary people.
Fang Cheng frowned and said, "Did these small town residents actually not die and have lived in the sub-space for half a century?"
Before Isis could refute, Fang Cheng himself felt that this speculation was unreliable.
"Is it possible that we have passed through time and came half a century ago?"
"The space crack outside cannot be explained. This town is independent in the sub-space."
The two were silent for a few seconds, and Isis suddenly said, "Check it out again to see if they have any memories of Richard."
Their main purpose of coming to this destroyed town was to find Richard's traces.
Richard finally settled in the town of Centralia, and a fire broke out the following year. He did not leave and disappeared with the residents.
Then these residents should know that Richard is right, after all, the population of this town is only a few thousand.
Fang Cheng read the male owner's mind again and found his memory about Richard quickly.
Richard came to settle in the town a year ago.
In the master's memory, Richard is a weirdo.
The town of Centralia is a small town developed because of the mining industry. It has no charming scenery and ancient books, nor has it prosperous business and culture.
All the residents in the town are employees of mining companies. In a sense, this is actually a large dormitory for mining companies.
It was really strange that Richard, an outsider, came here to settle in such a place.
During the first few months of his settlement, Richard also went out frequently and talked to the residents of the town.
He claimed to be a writer, and came to the town to settle down to collect folk songs, and was preparing to write a long story about mining.
When the town residents gradually accepted Richard, he began to stay in silence and always locked himself at home for ten days and half a month.
Some children in the town once sneaked into Richard's house and ran into Richard's unkempt face and ran away in fear.
Later, everyone thought Richard was crazy and few people dared to get close to his house.
After reading the memory, Fang Cheng said to Isis: "From the memory, Richard is not like a person who can collect his mother's body."
"It's not far anyway. Whether it's true or not, you'll know it just by looking at it."
