Fruit Man [Unlimited]
Chapter 98 The Hungry Town 9
Lai Ge has been distracted to eavesdrop on the conversations of the policemen in the police station. Around four o'clock, it can be learned from their conversations that the mayor is out of danger.
The sheriff called An Ting to talk. From the conversation between the two, it can be known that An Ting and the mayor are actually uncles and nephews, but An Ting was very indifferent to the mayor, and he didn't even think that the other party was shot and died. What a reaction.
An Ting reported to the police chief, saying that from the monitoring point of view, Lai Ge should not be the murderer who killed the short-haired girl, and asked if Lai Ge could be released.
The sheriff said that Lai Ge was an outsider, and as soon as he arrived, the miners in the George Mine rioted. At that time, the mayor was shot and the short-haired girl died. He was also at the scene. Stay in the detention cell.
Lai Ge frowned when he heard this, and he asked Xiao Fries, who told him that a person can be detained here without evidence for a maximum of 48 hours.
"Has the shooter been found?"
"We found the location, but the surveillance did not capture the opponent's face." Little French Fries showed a frustrated expression, "The shooter is very aware of the town's surveillance arrangements, and I doubt he has the ability to hide, because I looked forward and went to After searching, there was no trace of anyone entering or exiting there.”
"It's also possible that the opponent's bullet can turn around." Lai Ge joked.
Little Potato Fries was taken aback, "That's right! Ability can do this, I'll check again!"
Aaron's eyes rolled wildly. While paying attention to Lai Ge, he looked out of the detention room door.
"The town is in chaos now. I'm afraid the town police won't remember us at all. We can't stay here forever." Aaron said.
Lai Ge nodded: "You are right, do you have a way to leave?"
Aaron grabbed the iron fence, looked at the monitor on the diagonally opposite wall, and said softly: "My aunt can be my guarantor, but I don't know if she will come."
"Who is your aunt?" Lai Ge asked casually.
Aaron hesitated for a moment, but said, "Beth Germain, her husband is a doctor in a small town."
Lai Ge was surprised: "Aunt Beth?"
"You know my aunt?" Aaron asked curiously.
Lai Ge said vaguely, "I've seen her before."
Laige also planned to go to see Aunt Beth at night to hear what she had to say with her husband and nurse Nancy.
Aaron started yelling, attracting the town police.
Aaron asked to see a lawyer and to contact his loved ones.
The town police passed on the news, and the sheriff told them to ignore it.
When Aaron called the town police, Lai Ge secretly told the little lizard: "Little lizard, it's up to you next, don't be caught, let alone hurt, you must protect yourself."
Little Lizard: "Hiss." It's a trivial matter, leave it to me~
The little chameleon crawled out of the iron fence along the corner of the wall, and crawled all the way to the outside of the police station.
Aaron frowned when he saw someone guarantee that this road would not work.
"Brother, I need your help." Aaron leaned closer to Lai Ge and said in a low voice.
Lai Ge: "How do you want me to help you?"
Aaron coughed dryly and puffed out his chest, "Come on, punch me in the face, it's best to get a nosebleed, but don't hit too hard, you want to look miserable, understand? I'll call for help, and the police will come over here When you knock me out, no, no, no, I will pass out myself, and then the town police will definitely send me to the town clinic for treatment. As long as I can get in touch with Bertram, I can get in touch with my aunt. "
Lai Ge nodded, "Understood, are you ready?"
Aaron took a deep breath, stood up, and suddenly raised his voice: "You bastard! I won't let you go, if you dare, kill me!"
Lai Ge stood up, and under the signal of Aaron's brave eyes, he punched out.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise like a wall collapsing from outside.
Laige and Aaron heard the screams at the same time.
All the town police who were in the police station ran out.
You can't run, there are monsters attacking their police station!
A huge lizard with a height of three meters and a body length of about ten meters was crashing into the building of the police station.
Grabbing it with one paw, the wall immediately became smashed.
With a tail sweep, half of the police station is gone!
"Where did this monster come from!" the sheriff roared.
"Shoot! Shoot!" An Ting yelled.
But this big monster was extremely clever, and before the town police shot it, it disappeared in a flash.
After a while, screams were also heard from behind the police station.
Aaron leaned against the iron fence, looked at the shaking wall, turned his head and shouted in fright: "Help! There's an earthquake! The house is about to collapse! Help!"
boom!The solid cell walls crumbled into a heap of building waste.
Aaron rolled his eyelids when he saw the head of the monster poking into the cell, and almost passed out.
"Star beast! This must be a star monster! They are coming to hunt!" Aaron yelled frantically.
Lai Ge grabbed Aaron who was half-dead from fright, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, follow me!"
Aaron had lost his judgment, Lai Ge pulled him, and he ran with him.
The monster didn't seem interested in eating people. It poked its head in for a look, then backed away.
Bang, boom, monsters seem to only like to demolish houses, and they are very happy.
In the chaos, Lai Ge grabbed Aaron and ran out of the cell, all the way to the depths of the town.
At this time, the town police were all dealing with the giant monster, and no one cared about the temporary prisoners locked in the detention room.
Boom!The last wall also came down.
The huge monster shook its huge tail, and like a child without a toy, it poked a brick with its claws, turned its head and ran away without hesitation.
The town police went after him, shooting desperately.
But after less than ten steps, the monster disappeared.
The sheriff looked at the collapsed and disappeared police station with a livid face, feeling that everything was out of his control.
The town police looked at each other and asked each other: what is that monster and where did it come from.
Policewoman An Ting turned pale and ran to the detention room quickly.
Fortunately, the ruins where the detention room was located had no bloodstains, let alone corpses, and the two temporary prisoners who were locked inside should have escaped while they were in chaos.
Policewoman An Ting pursed her lips and did not report the matter.There's no need to report it, anyone can see when the person is gone.
Townspeople who live near the police station were once again spooked.
The number of pedestrians on the road decreased by half at once. People who were not forced to do so were all huddled in their homes and closed all doors and windows tightly.
All the students in the school were taken home by their parents before three o'clock in the afternoon.
The sheriff looked at the desolate street, then at the ruined police station, and gripped his gun tightly.
"Anting, notify the guards, all gather!"
On the other end, Lai Ge pulled Aaron and ran for a full block before stopping.
A small transparent lizard quickly crawled over from the edge of the street, and climbed onto Lai Ge's shoulder with two swishes.
Lai Ge raised his hand to touch the little lizard: "Good job."
"What did you say?" Aaron was stunned and shocked, and he hadn't recovered from the shock.
"Hometown dialect." Lai Ge patted Aaron: "Do you know where your Aunt Beth lives? Let's go to her."
"Okay. I know." Aaron stopped after taking two steps, and looked at Lai Ge with a embarrassed face: "You want to go to my aunt with me?"
Lai Ge: "Not welcome?"
Aaron thought that Lai Ge had saved himself just now, and it would be too much to throw him away at this time, so he hurriedly said: "I don't know if my aunt will take us in, we'd better not have too much hope."
Aunt Beth waited anxiously at home, and was finally relieved to see her husband come back safely.
"What happened?" Beth took her husband's medical kit.
Bertram frowned and put on his slippers, "Things are not very good. The mayor was shot. Fortunately, it was a puncture wound. The bullet did not stay in his body, and he stopped the blood in time. When I went, He's just bleeding internally."
Bertram didn't find it strange to see that the mayor was fine on the outside but had gunshot wounds on the inside.
There are many medical methods now, such gunshot wounds, as long as they don't die on the spot, and the doctors can arrive in time, they can basically be rescued.
In his medical kit is a small surgical robot.
This small surgical robot can instantly expand into a surgical medical team, with multiple functions such as scanning, fluoroscopy, anesthesia, surgery, killing or cutting harmful objects, and mending.His hand can extend up to twelve hands at the same time. The most advanced surgical robot in a large hospital can already replace all the medical staff in the entire operation.
With the development of intelligence, it is not only the miners who have been laid off. He would choose to come to this small town to practice medicine, so why not for survival.
"Who fired it?" Beth asked.
Bertram shook his head, "I haven't found it yet, and even if I did, Waita wouldn't tell me."
Waitabrin, the Sheriff's name.
"Oh, troubled times." Beth sighed.
The harsh doorbell rang suddenly, and the couple looked at the door together.
Beth wanted to go to open the door, but her husband stopped her.
Bertram signaled her to hide, grabbed the electric baton and walked towards the gate.
"Who?"
"Mr. Bertram, it is I, Nancy."
Bertram breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
Nancy also saluted with two big boxes, and hurriedly said as soon as she came in: "No, something happened in the town again. A huge monster suddenly appeared and leveled the entire police station."
"Monster?" Bertram's and Beth's voices sounded simultaneously.
Nancy said repeatedly: "It's a monster. It's very big. I saw it with my own eyes. It's very scary. It's not afraid of bullets, and it can hide or flash. Trapping a police station is like trampling a child's sandcastle. Someone said It's the star monster that fell on our planet. I still have some stuff in the car, it's all food and fuel."
"I'll help you. Don't take it at the door. You drive the car into the garage." Bertram went out with Nancy, and at the same time told his wife to close the door.
Beth's family had just settled Nancy, and Nancy was still sitting on the sofa drinking water to calm down, when Beth's doorbell rang again.
Bertram made a helpless expression, telling the two ladies not to let go of their weapons, and he went to open the door again.
This time, without waiting for him to ask the other party, the person who rang the doorbell first reported his home: "Aunt Beth, I'm Aaron, please open the door, please?"
Beth immediately came out of the living room, "It's Aaron, open the door!"
The door opened and Aaron put on the most friendly and gracious smile.
"Come in." Beth only opened the door halfway, grabbed Aaron's arm, and pulled him through the door.
"Wait, there are my friends!"
The three guests and Bertram, the host, took their seats in the living room.
Aunt Beth went to the kitchen to remix the drinks and came out with a tray.
Lai Ge got up subconsciously, wanting to help him pick it up.
Aunt Beth smiled at Lai Ge, "Thank you, young man."
Aaron cleared his throat, pointed at Lai Ge, and introduced with a little show off: "This is my friend, Lai Ge, who lives in the Life Basin in the Eastern Hemisphere. There is also an orchard at home, specializing in fruit business."
"Wow!" Beth couple and nurse Nancy exclaimed together.
Lai Ge brought over the backpack he was using to show off—he told Aaron on the road that he would go to the town council hall to pick up things, and after going around inside, he found this big backpack.
Lai Ge opened the backpack and took out six apples from it.
"This is the goods from my family, you have a taste."
On this planet, because there is a life basin, natural food is not too lacking, but it is expensive and there are few varieties.
The more remote the place, the less natural food you can eat, and most of them are processed products of natural food.
Like the fresh apples brought out by Lai Ge, there are similar fruits sold in supermarkets in small towns, but they are all expensive. Locals would rather buy dried or canned fruits.
Six natural fruits that are bigger than an adult's fist are definitely very valuable and affordable gifts.
Both parties were polite, but Lai Ge insisted on giving it.
Beth took it happily, and invited Lai Ge to have dinner at their house tonight as a matter of course.
Aaron took the opportunity to speak: "Auntie, Lai Ge and I have no place to live right now. We originally wanted to stay in a hotel in the town, but it's so chaotic outside now, we..."
Before Aaron finished speaking, Bertram took the initiative to say: "What kind of hotel do you want to stay in? Our house doesn't have any vacancies, so you can stay in our house first, and I won't be polite to you. It's also good for us if you live here. , Now that the outside is in such a mess, with two more mature men at home, the safety of your aunt and Nancy will be more secure."
Beth also nodded again and again: "That's it. You can't leave our town for the time being. You will live in our house for the past six months. You don't have to be polite to us, just help each other."
Aaron grinned, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
Lai Ge didn't refuse either, he could leave if he wanted, and the most important thing now was to learn more secrets of this town from Aunt Beth.
"Ms. Beth, what did you mean when you said that you couldn't leave this town for half a year?" Lai Ge pretended to be surprised.
Beth sighed, "Call me Aunt Beth, not Madam. My husband and Nancy also want to know the question you asked. Wait a minute, I'll call the Hansen's next door."
Beth got up and went to the window to contact the neighbor next door.
There must have been some preparations over there, and after a few words with Beth, they decided to have dinner at Beth's house.
Then Beth called Nancy together and started working on tonight's dinner.
Lai Ge and Aaron also went to offer to help, but were kicked out by Aunt Beth.
The two chatted with Mr. Bertram.
At six o'clock in the evening, all the street lights in the town were turned on, and the sky became more and more gloomy.
The Hansen family next door knocked on the door and brought several large plates of food.
When the two foods were put together, almost the long tables in the restaurant were filled.
Bertram introduces Aaron and Laige to the Hansen family.
All Hansen's family came, little Hansen and his parents, as well as his grandfather and grandmother, a total of five people.
The two sides introduced themselves, and Lai Ge further learned that Xiao Hansen's mother and his grandmother are both foreigners.
When Little Hansen's mother married Little Hansen's father, Little Hansen's grandmother was not at ease. Later, Little Hansen's mother became pregnant, and Little Hansen's grandmother came to take care of her, and when the grandson was born, she took care of her grandson.Little Hansen's parents hoped that little Hansen's grandma would stay, and little Hansen's grandmother was really reluctant to part with her grandson and daughter, so she sold the house and moved here, and settled down in Shilin Township.
Now Xiao Hansen's grandmother and Xiao Hansen's grandfather are very close. Although the two have not announced to the public, they have moved in together, and the two families have basically become one family.
Aunt Beth was doing her best to liven up the table.
Little Hansen, his parents, and Nancy were all curious about what happened in the Life Basin, and stared at Lai Ge to ask questions.
Lai Ge had no choice but to ask Little French Fries to help him look up information about the Basin of Life from the library software, so as to avoid everyone's curiosity.
And everyone saw that Lai Ge knew so much about things in the Life Basin, and they didn't doubt that Lai Ge was from there.
Old Hansen took a sip of the red fruit wine, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know how long I can drink such a good fruit wine."
Little Hansen held back until now, and finally couldn't hold back: "Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Beth, what do you know, can you tell us?"
Xiao Hansen's mother, Qiao Lin, also said: "Yeah, if you tell us something, everyone will be prepared. Keeping everything secret will make us feel at a loss when something happens."
Little Hansen's grandmother, Agatha, patted the back of Old Hansen's hand lightly.
Old Hansen held her hand with a bitter expression on his face.
Bertram also looked at his wife.
Beth put down the knife and fork, picked up the glass and took a sip of the fruit wine, and swallowed: "Let me tell you, Bill, help me replenish."
Little Hansen's father, Bill Hansen nodded.
All the people at the table raised their heads, and most of them put down their tableware. Only Little Hansen and Aaron were still eating.
Beth looked at Lai Ge first: "What I want to say is the secret of our town. You should think about it first. Once you know these secrets, you may never be able to leave our town again."
Lai Ge got up, "It happens that I'm a little tired, I'll go up to rest, you guys talk slowly."
No one stopped him, nor was he afraid of eavesdropping.
Beth looked at Aaron again.
Aaron took a sip of water: "Tell me, I'm not afraid to stay, I'm even more afraid that I won't know the truth of the matter."
Beth's expression was complicated. She actually wanted to spread the news about the town through other people's mouths.
But it is not that there were no such people in previous years, but until now, Shilin Township still exists, and every 19 years, the town will trick the townspeople who went out to come back.
Lai Ge went back to the guest room and lay on the single bed.
The scene in the restaurant was projected in front of his glasses, and all the sounds from there could be clearly heard in his ears.
Aunt Beth's voice came, and she got straight to the point: "The 19-year reincarnation blockade has happened nine times, and this is the tenth time."
Mr. Bertram, Little Hansen, his mother and grandmother, who were not aware of the situation, opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
Beth continued: "Some things are my own guesses based on the information I found in the library, and some things are actually recorded."
"180 years ago, or 190 years ago, because the month of each occurrence is in December, and then it will span from December to May to June of the next year, and the time is not easy to calculate in detail. According to records, it was exactly 190 years ago.”
"It all started when two police detectives walked into Shilin Town. On the day they entered the town, a sudden heavy snow blocked all roads. People wanted to go out of Shilin to seek help, but they always got lost. There are people who drive flying cars and want to fly out, but they always come back to town after flying around."
"The relationship between the mayor and the sheriff at that time was very bad. They couldn't get in touch with the outside world, and they shifted responsibility from each other. At this moment, the two police detectives found the mayor and the sheriff and asked them to assist in investigating a case. "
Bess projects an image from his communicator.
"This is the precious video material left by the two criminal policemen. They also copied a copy for the town and hid it in the library. This is a very precious material, because the copy of this material is likely to be later It was destroyed, and this is the only original document left over from that year."
"The case they came to investigate was a case of disappearance, no, it should be said that it was a case of multiple disappearances. According to the clues, they found that many missing persons disappeared near our town, and one of them was the ex-wife of one of the two police detectives. .”
Beth sighed: "I won't tell you about their detailed investigation process. In short, look at the photos, did you see that they dug it up in the backyard of a family."
Everyone who saw the photo gasped.
The sheriff called An Ting to talk. From the conversation between the two, it can be known that An Ting and the mayor are actually uncles and nephews, but An Ting was very indifferent to the mayor, and he didn't even think that the other party was shot and died. What a reaction.
An Ting reported to the police chief, saying that from the monitoring point of view, Lai Ge should not be the murderer who killed the short-haired girl, and asked if Lai Ge could be released.
The sheriff said that Lai Ge was an outsider, and as soon as he arrived, the miners in the George Mine rioted. At that time, the mayor was shot and the short-haired girl died. He was also at the scene. Stay in the detention cell.
Lai Ge frowned when he heard this, and he asked Xiao Fries, who told him that a person can be detained here without evidence for a maximum of 48 hours.
"Has the shooter been found?"
"We found the location, but the surveillance did not capture the opponent's face." Little French Fries showed a frustrated expression, "The shooter is very aware of the town's surveillance arrangements, and I doubt he has the ability to hide, because I looked forward and went to After searching, there was no trace of anyone entering or exiting there.”
"It's also possible that the opponent's bullet can turn around." Lai Ge joked.
Little Potato Fries was taken aback, "That's right! Ability can do this, I'll check again!"
Aaron's eyes rolled wildly. While paying attention to Lai Ge, he looked out of the detention room door.
"The town is in chaos now. I'm afraid the town police won't remember us at all. We can't stay here forever." Aaron said.
Lai Ge nodded: "You are right, do you have a way to leave?"
Aaron grabbed the iron fence, looked at the monitor on the diagonally opposite wall, and said softly: "My aunt can be my guarantor, but I don't know if she will come."
"Who is your aunt?" Lai Ge asked casually.
Aaron hesitated for a moment, but said, "Beth Germain, her husband is a doctor in a small town."
Lai Ge was surprised: "Aunt Beth?"
"You know my aunt?" Aaron asked curiously.
Lai Ge said vaguely, "I've seen her before."
Laige also planned to go to see Aunt Beth at night to hear what she had to say with her husband and nurse Nancy.
Aaron started yelling, attracting the town police.
Aaron asked to see a lawyer and to contact his loved ones.
The town police passed on the news, and the sheriff told them to ignore it.

Lai Ge nodded, "Understood, are you ready?"
Aaron took a deep breath, stood up, and suddenly raised his voice: "You bastard! I won't let you go, if you dare, kill me!"
Lai Ge stood up, and under the signal of Aaron's brave eyes, he punched out.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise like a wall collapsing from outside.
Laige and Aaron heard the screams at the same time.
All the town police who were in the police station ran out.
You can't run, there are monsters attacking their police station!
A huge lizard with a height of three meters and a body length of about ten meters was crashing into the building of the police station.
Grabbing it with one paw, the wall immediately became smashed.
With a tail sweep, half of the police station is gone!
"Where did this monster come from!" the sheriff roared.
"Shoot! Shoot!" An Ting yelled.
But this big monster was extremely clever, and before the town police shot it, it disappeared in a flash.
After a while, screams were also heard from behind the police station.
Aaron leaned against the iron fence, looked at the shaking wall, turned his head and shouted in fright: "Help! There's an earthquake! The house is about to collapse! Help!"
boom!The solid cell walls crumbled into a heap of building waste.
Aaron rolled his eyelids when he saw the head of the monster poking into the cell, and almost passed out.
"Star beast! This must be a star monster! They are coming to hunt!" Aaron yelled frantically.
Lai Ge grabbed Aaron who was half-dead from fright, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to die, follow me!"
Aaron had lost his judgment, Lai Ge pulled him, and he ran with him.
The monster didn't seem interested in eating people. It poked its head in for a look, then backed away.
Bang, boom, monsters seem to only like to demolish houses, and they are very happy.

The huge monster shook its huge tail, and like a child without a toy, it poked a brick with its claws, turned its head and ran away without hesitation.
The town police went after him, shooting desperately.
But after less than ten steps, the monster disappeared.
The sheriff looked at the collapsed and disappeared police station with a livid face, feeling that everything was out of his control.
The town police looked at each other and asked each other: what is that monster and where did it come from.
Policewoman An Ting turned pale and ran to the detention room quickly.
Fortunately, the ruins where the detention room was located had no bloodstains, let alone corpses, and the two temporary prisoners who were locked inside should have escaped while they were in chaos.
Policewoman An Ting pursed her lips and did not report the matter.There's no need to report it, anyone can see when the person is gone.
Townspeople who live near the police station were once again spooked.
The number of pedestrians on the road decreased by half at once. People who were not forced to do so were all huddled in their homes and closed all doors and windows tightly.
All the students in the school were taken home by their parents before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lai Ge raised his hand to touch the little lizard: "Good job."

"Hometown dialect." Lai Ge patted Aaron: "Do you know where your Aunt Beth lives? Let's go to her."
"Okay. I know." Aaron stopped after taking two steps, and looked at Lai Ge with a embarrassed face: "You want to go to my aunt with me?"
Lai Ge: "Not welcome?"

The most advanced surgical robot in a large hospital can already replace all the medical staff in the entire operation.
With the development of intelligence, it is not only the miners who have been laid off. He would choose to come to this small town to practice medicine, so why not for survival.

Aunt Beth went to the kitchen to remix the drinks and came out with a tray.
Lai Ge got up subconsciously, wanting to help him pick it up.
Aunt Beth smiled at Lai Ge, "Thank you, young man."
Aaron cleared his throat, pointed at Lai Ge, and introduced with a little show off: "This is my friend, Lai Ge, who lives in the Life Basin in the Eastern Hemisphere. There is also an orchard at home, specializing in fruit business."
"Wow!" Beth couple and nurse Nancy exclaimed together.
Lai Ge brought over the backpack he was using to show off—he told Aaron on the road that he would go to the town council hall to pick up things, and after going around inside, he found this big backpack.

Our house doesn't have any vacancies, so you can stay in our house first, and I won't be polite to you. It's also good for us if you live here. , Now that the outside is in such a mess, with two more mature men at home, the safety of your aunt and Nancy will be more secure."
Beth also nodded again and again: "That's it. You can't leave our town for the time being. You will live in our house for the past six months. You don't have to be polite to us, just help each other."
Aaron grinned, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
Lai Ge didn't refuse either, he could leave if he wanted, and the most important thing now was to learn more secrets of this town from Aunt Beth.
"Ms. Beth, what did you mean when you said that you couldn't leave this town for half a year?" Lai Ge pretended to be surprised.
Beth sighed, "Call me Aunt Beth, not Madam. My husband and Nancy also want to know the question you asked. Wait a minute, I'll call the Hansen's next door."
Beth got up and went to the window to contact the neighbor next door.
There must have been some preparations over there, and after a few words with Beth, they decided to have dinner at Beth's house.
Then Beth called Nancy together and started working on tonight's dinner.
Lai Ge and Aaron also went to offer to help, but were kicked out by Aunt Beth.
The two chatted with Mr. Bertram.
At six o'clock in the evening, all the street lights in the town were turned on, and the sky became more and more gloomy.
The Hansen family next door knocked on the door and brought several large plates of food.
When the two foods were put together, almost the long tables in the restaurant were filled.
Bertram introduces Aaron and Laige to the Hansen family.
All Hansen's family came, little Hansen and his parents, as well as his grandfather and grandmother, a total of five people.
The two sides introduced themselves, and Lai Ge further learned that Xiao Hansen's mother and his grandmother are both foreigners.
When Little Hansen's mother married Little Hansen's father, Little Hansen's grandmother was not at ease. Later, Little Hansen's mother became pregnant, and Little Hansen's grandmother came to take care of her, and when the grandson was born, she took care of her grandson.Little Hansen's parents hoped that little Hansen's grandma would stay, and little Hansen's grandmother was really reluctant to part with her grandson and daughter, so she sold the house and moved here, and settled down in Shilin Township.
Now Xiao Hansen's grandmother and Xiao Hansen's grandfather are very close. Although the two have not announced to the public, they have moved in together, and the two families have basically become one family.
Aunt Beth was doing her best to liven up the table.
Little Hansen, his parents, and Nancy were all curious about what happened in the Life Basin, and stared at Lai Ge to ask questions.
Lai Ge had no choice but to ask Little French Fries to help him look up information about the Basin of Life from the library software, so as to avoid everyone's curiosity.
And everyone saw that Lai Ge knew so much about things in the Life Basin, and they didn't doubt that Lai Ge was from there.
Old Hansen took a sip of the red fruit wine, and suddenly sighed: "I don't know how long I can drink such a good fruit wine."
Little Hansen held back until now, and finally couldn't hold back: "Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Beth, what do you know, can you tell us?"
Xiao Hansen's mother, Qiao Lin, also said: "Yeah, if you tell us something, everyone will be prepared. Keeping everything secret will make us feel at a loss when something happens."
Little Hansen's grandmother, Agatha, patted the back of Old Hansen's hand lightly.
Old Hansen held her hand with a bitter expression on his face.
Bertram also looked at his wife.
Beth put down the knife and fork, picked up the glass and took a sip of the fruit wine, and swallowed: "Let me tell you, Bill, help me replenish."
Little Hansen's father, Bill Hansen nodded.
All the people at the table raised their heads, and most of them put down their tableware. Only Little Hansen and Aaron were still eating.
Beth looked at Lai Ge first: "What I want to say is the secret of our town. You should think about it first. Once you know these secrets, you may never be able to leave our town again."
Lai Ge got up, "It happens that I'm a little tired, I'll go up to rest, you guys talk slowly."
No one stopped him, nor was he afraid of eavesdropping.
Beth looked at Aaron again.
Aaron took a sip of water: "Tell me, I'm not afraid to stay, I'm even more afraid that I won't know the truth of the matter."
Beth's expression was complicated. She actually wanted to spread the news about the town through other people's mouths.
But it is not that there were no such people in previous years, but until now, Shilin Township still exists, and every 19 years, the town will trick the townspeople who went out to come back.
Lai Ge went back to the guest room and lay on the single bed.
The scene in the restaurant was projected in front of his glasses, and all the sounds from there could be clearly heard in his ears.
Aunt Beth's voice came, and she got straight to the point: "The 19-year reincarnation blockade has happened nine times, and this is the tenth time."
Mr. Bertram, Little Hansen, his mother and grandmother, who were not aware of the situation, opened their mouths slightly in surprise.
Beth continued: "Some things are my own guesses based on the information I found in the library, and some things are actually recorded."
"180 years ago, or 190 years ago, because the month of each occurrence is in December, and then it will span from December to May to June of the next year, and the time is not easy to calculate in detail. According to records, it was exactly 190 years ago.”
"It all started when two police detectives walked into Shilin Town. On the day they entered the town, a sudden heavy snow blocked all roads. People wanted to go out of Shilin to seek help, but they always got lost. There are people who drive flying cars and want to fly out, but they always come back to town after flying around."
"The relationship between the mayor and the sheriff at that time was very bad. They couldn't get in touch with the outside world, and they shifted responsibility from each other. At this moment, the two police detectives found the mayor and the sheriff and asked them to assist in investigating a case. "
Bess projects an image from his communicator.
"This is the precious video material left by the two criminal policemen. They also copied a copy for the town and hid it in the library. This is a very precious material, because the copy of this material is likely to be later It was destroyed, and this is the only original document left over from that year."
"The case they came to investigate was a case of disappearance, no, it should be said that it was a case of multiple disappearances. According to the clues, they found that many missing persons disappeared near our town, and one of them was the ex-wife of one of the two police detectives. .”
Beth sighed: "I won't tell you about their detailed investigation process. In short, look at the photos, did you see that they dug it up in the backyard of a family."
Everyone who saw the photo gasped.
