[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

The incident 27 years ago, I'm afraid it has been forgotten by others, right?

Just like this time, if this case hadn't happened, he might still not be able to clearly recall his past. However, when he heard what the witness (also the victim's partner) said, it was like lightning, and everything suddenly All clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

Turns out he never forgot.He believed that they would not forget either.

He picked up the phone, his fingers still trembling unconsciously.

It's back, and they'll be back, back to the town where hope never came.

……

Jormungandr is not a snake that likes to look back.

Only those who were once brilliant but are now downcast will indulge in their own memories.That will make them temporarily forget the desolation of the present, but after returning to reality, it will also make them more painful.

Jormungandr, or the Old Ones, have a different view of time than humans—that's because their forms of existence are fundamentally different.

From the perspective of human beings, time is one-way, irreversible, indivisible, and unchangeable.

But for the Old Ones, what they saw were rivers with countless tributaries.

If they want, they can see and even change every possibility in the future, but they will not choose to do so.

That would be so boring and... pointless.

……

These years, automobiles have been invented. Many merchants saw the business opportunities in front of them and bought them one after another. They were used in various industries and made a lot of profits.

The area of ​​Derry Town is not big, but it is not small, and there are still some people coming and going.

Therefore, the Maine government paid for a batch of buses, one of which travels between Augusta (the capital of Maine) and Derry every three days.

Yemengard was in Ohio before, not far from Maine, and it didn't take her many days to get to Augusta by train.

As for how she bought the train ticket... Ahem, it is not difficult to make a fake certificate that is not so easy to find out (ps. This is not a good behavior, please do not imitate it).

However, if she wanted to travel across the country, it would be too easy to find her flaws, so she had to find another way.

……

The town of Derry is not well-known to the outside world, so although it has a certain scale, it rarely attracts tourists.

That's why William Dumbledore was so surprised to see someone bent on being there.

He is a well-known writer, and there is no clear statement of "going out to collect materials" in this year, and writers like them usually draw more materials from their own personal experiences when writing novels, so they are also very good at observation.

Of course, being good at observation does not mean that he can be as proficient in deduction as Sherlock Holmes, who can analyze all the past of a person with a glance.

What's more, his current situation is not very good. It can be seen that those foreigners are going to Delhi this trip, which can be regarded as an online IQ.

At this moment, most of his thoughts are on his destination, the hometown he never wants to set foot in again.

His brother—his dear brother—had died there in agony.

I don't know why, it's not that he hasn't thought of him for so many years, but every time he recalls, it's just a name, a vague concept.

But now, it's all back in his head.

……

Shadow looked at Wednesday inexplicably.

After leaving from Illinois, they originally planned to go to Florida. For some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and chose to go to Maine.

Florida is a great place to vacation,

These days, the tourism industry is not very developed, and it is an extremely difficult journey to travel directly from the north to the south of the United States by train.By comparison, the distance between Illinois and Maine is much smaller -- though not very close either.

"Is there any friend of yours over there in Maine?" he couldn't help asking Wednesday.

Wednesday glanced at him and couldn't help laughing. "Friend? No, no, no, it doesn't deserve it. It's just that it will be very helpful for what we are going to do in the future."

It (it)?not human?Shadow muttered a few words in his heart, could it be that Wednesday's friends invented some high-tech thing?

——He was watching "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" recently, and he couldn't help but get in touch with this fantasy high-tech.

Of course, he also knew that he might not be able to see the scene in that kind of science fiction novel, but why don't people imagine it?

Shadow did find that Wednesday's grammar was incorrect.However, this person hides many secrets, and this one is not bad.

……

After Shadow and Wednesday got on the bus, Yemengard discovered something was wrong between the two.

——Oh, don't worry about her, she has already hidden those in herself.

No, it is unknown whether they are "human beings".She glanced at them quickly, thinking.

Do they feel...somewhat "old" and "rotten"?It's a strange description, but it's the most appropriate word Yemengard can think of.

The older one (Wednesday) has that quality more pronounced, or "much more pronounced" as well.

In human terms, it is like an antique that should have been swept into the garbage dump long ago.

From the way they talked (Shadow: ???), it was clear that this was their first trip to Delhi.

At this time... also for "it"?She lowered her eyes, no one could see her expression at this moment.

But... Listening to their titles during the conversation, it is the relationship between employment and employment, right?But why at first glance, she felt that these two people had a very close blood relationship?

……

Not long after Easter, the temperature in Maine has become a little warmer, but it will still make people who grow up in the south feel a little cold-after all, it is the northernmost part of the United States.

But everyone on the bus was sweating profusely.

Without him, the road in this place is too rough.

Maine is mountainous, and the ground is undulating and uneven. Cars of this era do not have such a good shock absorber. Under such bumps, sweating is also a very normal phenomenon.What's more, his face is already pale, and he looks like he will vomit in the car in a second.

Yemengard sat in his seat with his eyes closed expressionlessly.

Naturally, she doesn't suffer from motion sickness, and she doesn't worry that someone will vomit in the car.

Now sitting in the car, there are only three people who are not from Derry Town, and the rest are from the town and go back by bus.In other words, these people have at least one experience of taking a bus, and people who suffer from motion sickness will naturally not choose this way of travel again.

How would you choose? Not only will you find yourself guilty, but you may also be beaten up by others.

……

Shadow fell asleep.

Along the way, after robbing the bank on Wednesday, he basically didn't have a good rest.Not only do you have to drive, but you are also worried about when you will be arrested by those officials.

He has been in prison once before, and if he is caught again this time, he will definitely be punished severely.

It's very quiet on this bus.Even Wednesday, uncharacteristically, didn't go over to strike up a conversation with that good-looking young woman.

(Ye Mengjiad [look indifferent.jpg]: What do you mean?)

Looking at the clothes of most people on the bus, they seem to be locals living in Derry Town, and there are few foreigners—except for the three you know (no, these three don’t seem to be human).

Logically speaking, since they are from the same village and look about the same age, there must be some common language, right?

But there are a lot of people here, but no one has spoken, which is very wrong.

That Derry town doesn't seem to be a good place with simple folk customs.

But what does this have to do with him?

He is just an ordinary person hired, he knows nothing, and he should not know anything.

……

Shadow opened his eyes, and he found himself standing under a big tree.

The tree was obviously too old to describe, and looking at its trunk, at first glance, it was impossible to realize that it was a tree, more like a wall.

A large part of the roots of this tree were exposed on the ground, and the shadow looked over and felt that the gaps between the roots were enough for adults to play hide-and-seek.

He doesn't know which tree has the longest lifespan in the world, but he vaguely feels that this should be a tree that only exists in imagination, a tree outside the world.

The withered and yellow leaves slowly fell, dangling and falling in front of him.He stared at the leaf and felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen such a leaf.

The tree had lived a long, long time, he knew.

But it is dying.The yellowing of the leaves is definitely not due to the coming of autumn (now it is spring in the northern hemisphere and autumn in the southern hemisphere). He feels that this tree should have been evergreen (???), but now it has lost something extremely important.

Shadow was inexplicably agitated.He reached into his pocket, habitually trying to take out two coins to play a trick he had played countless times, but found nothing, or in other words, not only did he not find the coin, he also failed to find the pocket.

"???" He looked down and found that the clothes he was wearing were not the jackets he had put on, but simply sewn from thick fur that could not be seen from any animals.

The top of his head also seemed to have some weight. He raised his hand to touch it, and it felt cold to the touch, like a metal helmet.

He sure looks like a primitive now.Even straight men known for their quirky aesthetics know this.

A rustling sound came from behind him, and the shadow turned his head away.

His wife, Laura, stood there, dressed in the same old style as himself, cleaned up from head to toe, no wounds, no blood, like she was alive and going to a cosplay.
