Chapter 3979: black ghost
Everyone got out of the car, and the steel frame was also ordered to turn into a huge camping light, which is the kind with adjustable light head and reading light tube, and can also provide power bank function for people to use when camping in the wild. It is sold in Wilson supermarket. Good stuff for $9.90.
It's just that this emergency light has hands and feet, so it looks a bit strange.
But his light is very bright, it can shine far away, and it can provide everyone with a better view in the sudden black sandstorm.
"Did something slip past us just now?"
Pulling on his cloak to cover his mouth and nose, Damian looked behind him alertly. He had been criticized by the death knell before, but he didn't really want to cry. Weeping was a tactic to gain sympathy.
He has received a full set of training from the Assassin League. He can't be said to be completely bloodless and tearless, but his heart is like steel.
The tactics used by the Assassin League to train children is to pretend to be pitiful, such as disguising as a little beggar, a flower girl, etc. When the target sees the child relax their vigilance, it will be a dagger or a shuriken.
Damian felt that he had made a mistake and needed other teammates to speak for him, so he put on a sad face, so Bobo was flooded with sympathy.
Don't look at how the orangutan usually says that he hates children, hates his own bartender working girl, and hates that, but he is actually very soft-hearted.
When Deathstroke got in the car just now and touched Damian's head a few times, the boy knew that he was forgiven.
Of course he knew that Death Knell could see through such little tricks, but it was another matter to see through it or not. His father even praised his little tricks, touched his head and smiled. This was encouragement.
So, of course, the boy must try his best to show himself now, and try not to make mistakes again.
The wind and sand were so great that the wasteland that was fine before suddenly became as dark as night, with black sand and gravel swept up by the strong wind in all directions, trapping everyone in the town like walls.
This place is more like a post station than a town. There is only one road, and there are a dozen or so dilapidated buildings on both sides of the road.
It feels a bit like a gold rush town in the pioneering era of the American West. After finding no gold, it was quickly abandoned and the town died.
However, given that there seems to be something sneaky in the dark, the reason for this place being abandoned may not be simply worthless.
"There is indeed a dark shadow flashing by, most likely it is a living creature, but it may be because the sandstorm is too large, and Strangler didn't smell it."
Su Ming raised his fist and used the green light ring to create a large transparent bowl to hold the crowd as a protective shield against the wind and sand:
"Everyone don't leave me for 500 meters. Those things are not very threatening. The investigation continues. I saw a tavern. Let's go there first to find clues."
Abandoned taverns are definitely empty, but the existence of towns proves that civilizations have existed here, and civilizations will inevitably leave some records.
To interpret the stories behind them, this is archaeology.
However, there is a high probability that it is American-style archaeology, which means that it has survived for two hundred years. It is not so much archaeology as it is a warehouse treasure hunt.
The door of the bar has been blown away for a long time. It seems that it used to be made of some kind of metal, because there are still some traces of rust on the wall. Lift your foot to enter the lobby, which is isolated from the outside wind, but it is only The hollow door was still whistling.
Except for the front and back doors, there are no windows in this bar, which seems to be some type of nightclub, sci-fi western.
"Bobo, Da Mian, Xiao Dai, go check upstairs." Su Ming pointed to the spiral staircase on the side, it looked solid, and the black metal looked very thick: "Albella and I check it out. The building and the wine cellar, you just stay in the hall, guard the front and rear doors, and keep the lighting well.”
Generally, in a tavern with a two-story building structure, especially in a small town the size of a post station, the second floor is often the guest room area, while the first floor is where guests are invited to drink, and the wine cellar is located underground.
"I should also consider whether to add a second floor to my bar." Bobo climbed up Damian's shoulder while looking at the dusty bar, and motioned for the boy to start work: "Maybe there will be more accommodation provided. Make some money."
"Better not, hiccup, or Constantine might live in your shop with his girlfriend and a bunch of demons, and then the bar Jim left for you becomes a **** for the horns nest."
Alberta, who was beside him, shook the bottle and said terrifying words with a smirk.
"Oh, thank you, you are so humorous." The orangutan gave her a white look, rubbed the boy's head again, and urged Damian to leave: "You are both unwelcome customers like Constantine, if you can visit me in the future If I eat an onion ring in a tavern, I lose."
Seeing that the relationship between Bobo and the witch is so delicate, Diana spread out her hands speechlessly, turned to follow, and her leather sandals made a clicking sound when she went up the stairs.
Su Mingrang installed broadsword mines on the front and rear doors without door panels as an early warning mechanism, and then he shook his head and said to the beauty pageant champion:
"Did you ever drink at the Forgotten Bar without paying?"
"No, it's mainly because I'm too beautiful, the orangutan is just jealous of me."
The witch smiled and blinked her eyes, obscuring the past. Anyone with discernment knew that this could not be the real reason. In order to prevent the death knell from asking, she changed the subject:
"There is no need to investigate the hall and the back kitchen for the time being. I want you to go to the underground wine cellar with me first. I seem to feel something special."
"Something special?" Su Ming asked Strangler to stretch out a tentacle, spread it into the wine cellar against the floor, and observed: "It's really strange, then let's go down and have a look, Victor, look after us. Ah, if we are surrounded, you call out."
"Yeah! Leave it to me." Granny Yang turned into a farm wolf drive with headlights. To put it bluntly, it is a large speaker system with its own infrared sensor. When a beast triggers the alarm, it will make a loud noise and scare away the jackal. , to protect the flock.
When the witch passed the bar, she also picked up a wine bottle inside, but the bottle was empty, so she could only throw it away regretfully.
My wish to taste the Omega Earth drink came to nothing.
The strange thing the two were talking about was a well, in the center of the underground wine cellar, covered with a huge metal plate.
In fact, there is a well in the basement of the house, which is not surprising. Many castles have them underground, in order to avoid the water source being cut off or poisoned when the enemy is besieging the city. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
In the pioneering era of the western United States, some places like barracks or warehouses also had basement wells, the purpose was also to prevent being attacked by Indians, or to fight fire.
But in the basement of the bar, especially in a wine cellar, it is too strange to have a well.
As we all know, it is best to keep European and American wines in a constant temperature and dry environment, and at the same time avoid light. It is definitely not a good idea to store wine in a place that is too close to the water source.
Especially when it was covered with a huge metal plate of about 30 tons, it didn't look like it was in use at ordinary times.
It is more likely that this well was originally here, and then someone sealed it up and built this tavern on it.
"Taverns are often places where people gather, especially when there are a lot of men. In my hometown, this kind of place is called 'the yang is very strong', and it is believed to suppress some evil spirits. And this way of sealing the well, I've seen it in "Midnight Bell", so..."
Going down the stairs, Su Ming was telling jokes with the witch.
And she pulled the wine bottle out of her mouth, wiped her mouth after making a 'boo' sound, and said with a smile:
"Ah, that's right, what I feel is a missing body with a high energy level. If your hometown is an ancient eastern country, I remember that this kind of thing in the well is called a ghost on your side?"
