As An Immortal, I Had To Pretend To Be A Vampire
Chapter 715: The Truth About Centralia
Chapter 715 The Truth About Centralia Town
Richard followed the administrator and the stranger who sneaked into the mine, and finally discovered their identity and purpose.
This group of people are all cultists, belonging to a cult called David, and have inextricably linked with Bronte Mining Company.
The cultists came to the remote town of Centralia to summon the evil **** to descend in the mine.
Richard himself is a person with a sense of justice, and at the same time, he also feels that this is a test given to him by his mother's body, so he prepares to stop the summoning ceremony of the cultists.
But the cultists are not in a hurry to start the summoning ceremony, they haven't found the most suitable place in the mine yet.
At the same time, Richard, an outsider, also aroused their vigilance.
After all, in a remote town like Centralia, and a place that specializes in mining, it would be strange for a writer to suddenly settle down.
Richard realized that he had aroused suspicion. In order not to be driven away, he began to pretend to be crazy, and died in the small town.
After monitoring him for a long time, the administrator of the mine decided that this guy was indeed crazy, and he didn't pay extra attention to him.
After spending a year like this, the cultists finally found the most suitable place in the mine, that is, the position of the door.
This position is a revelation from a highly respected prophet in their religion.
The Cult of David secretly developed a senior executive of the Bronte Mining Company into a believer. With the help of the other party, he was able to pass the administrator and enter the mine smoothly.
Otherwise, mines in this era belonged to the private territory of mining companies, and workers even had a large number of firearms and weapons. If they forced their way in, they would be fed peanuts.
One day in the middle of 1962, Bronte Company specially gave the mine workers a holiday, and hundreds of cultists quietly entered the mine.
Richard also secretly followed into the mine, watched the cultists dig the mine deeper, found the door, and built an altar on the spot.
Richard originally wanted to stop it directly, but the opponents had a large number of people carrying weapons, and he was also curious about what the group of cultists would do, so he chose to wait patiently.
Then, he saw a scene he would never forget.
The cultists started the summoning ceremony and successfully revealed the door that was only in its rudimentary form.
As soon as the door appeared, even though it hadn't been opened yet, the terrifying power of evil gods seeped out from the door.
The cultists who gathered in the mine were all immediately turned into monsters under the pollution of the power of evil gods.
The power of the evil **** spread out along the mine shaft and began to cover the entire town of Centralia.
Richard, who was in the mine, realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to run.
The power of evil gods invaded his body and polluted his mind.
At the last moment of death, the mother's body gave Richard a glimmer of hope for survival.
Using him as a medium, the power of the mother's body is released, turning into a monster to attack the polluted residents in the town, and finally igniting the underground fire, destroying the whole town.
But this can only solve the power infiltrated by the evil gods, and cannot solve the doors discovered by the cultists.
In the end, the mother's body turned into a semi-independent subspace, wrapping the town of Centralia in it, and also discovered Richard's own ability to manipulate time, allowing the town to enter a state of non-stop reincarnation, thereby preventing the door on.
Although Richard survived, as a price, he could only stay in the town of Centralia forever and could not leave, because the reincarnation here was constructed with his ability.
The strength of the mother's body is insufficient, so it can only create a semi-independent subspace, resulting in a part of the town of Centralia still in reality, and outsiders can enter the town of Centralia through this part.
So the investigators sent by the Department of Homeland Security got stuck inside and accompanied Richard through half a century of reincarnation.
After listening to Richard's explanation, Fang Cheng and Isis finally understood why he refused to tell the truth and hand over his mother's body.
The situation here has high value to the outside world, whether it is the mother body or the door.
Richard is worried that Fang Cheng was sent by the government or a cult, no matter which one it is, it may cause him trouble.
The mother's body is the foundation of Richard's survival. After he was polluted by the power of evil gods, he relied on the power of his mother to keep using time reincarnation to maintain his life.
Handing over his mother's body and closing reincarnation means that his life will also come to an end.
After knowing the truth, Fang Cheng and Isis did not feel relaxed.
Forcing Richard to surrender his mother's body or stop reincarnation seems impossible, after all, he relies on this to maintain his life.
But if they don’t stop their reincarnation, it will be difficult for Fang Cheng and Isis to find the right time to go out.
Now the time when the entire town of Centralia is connected to the outside world is chaotic. Richard himself can't leave, and he doesn't know the time point to connect to the outside world.
While Fang Cheng and Isis were thinking about countermeasures, Richard took the initiative to ask: "Can you tell me, how long has it been outside?"
Fang Cheng replied casually: "Sixty years."
Fearing that Richard would not believe it, Fang Cheng took out his mobile phone to show him the time, and explained the function of the mobile phone by the way.
Richard played with the phone curiously for a while, and after returning it to Fang Cheng, he suddenly became very disappointed.
"It turns out...it has been... more than sixty years..."
Instead of being happy that he had lived an extra sixty years, he was sad because he had been stuck in this place for so long.
Especially I don’t know how long this day-to-day reincarnation will last.
Fang Cheng and Isis are very observant of details, and they can't see Richard's current emotions.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that being trapped in this crappy place for more than 60 years, repeating the same things day after day, even the most nerdy people can't bear it.
Richard's current mood is obviously an opportunity. If he grasps it well, he can solve the matter directly.
Fang Cheng said decisively: "If I give you a chance to live, are you willing to give us your mother's body?"
Richard looked at him in amazement, and subconsciously blurted out: "Really?"
When he said this sentence, Richard realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
Fang Cheng smiled slightly: "Of course no problem."
He directly initiated a transaction request to Richard, exchanging his life for his ability to manipulate time.
Richard was slightly taken aback when he noticed the transaction.
He didn't know if he would lose his life in exchange for his own abilities, but at least Fang Cheng didn't lie to him.
Seeing that Richard fell silent, Fang Cheng did not urge him.
Now, after knowing the whole truth, Fang Cheng is no longer in a hurry.
Even if Richard refuses to agree, Fang Cheng can use the system's once-a-year forced transaction opportunity to take Richard's ability to manipulate time.
Without the ability to manipulate time, the reincarnation in Centralia Town will be automatically canceled.
Richard didn't know that Fang Cheng already had a backup plan in mind. He was silent for a while before asking, "Can you tell me your background?"
Although he was completely tired of this endless reincarnation, he didn't want to hand over his mother's body to the cult.
If Fang Cheng and Isis got their mother's body, turned around and opened the door, then Richard would be a Muggle, and the persistence of more than sixty years would be meaningless.
Fang Cheng knew what he was worried about, so he explained his identity.
Didn't go into details, just tell him that he and the evil **** are sworn enemies.
Richard believed it, or rather, he was willing to believe it, to find a reason for himself.
"I hope you can properly resolve the matter of the door."
Richard sighed: "I'm already tired, and I really can't hold on anymore."
After all, he agreed to Fang Cheng's request for a trade, exchanging his ability to manipulate time for a life.
The transaction was completed in an instant, and the ability to control the endless reincarnation of the town of Centralia came to Fang Cheng all of a sudden.
Health: -1
Remaining: 11460
Time Control +1
Fang Cheng instantly felt the connection between himself and his mother's body, and the ability to pass through the crack also came to him along with the transaction.
The situation of the entire town of Centralia, tens of thousands of reincarnations and time points, all appeared in Fang Cheng's mind.
He didn't hesitate, and directly forcibly ended the reincarnation.
The entire town of Centralia immediately underwent drastic changes.
Time passed quickly, the residents quickly resurrected, and then turned into monsters, and then the underground fire appeared, swallowing the town.
When the flames were gradually extinguished, the town that was burned into ruins was surrounded by poisonous fog.
Tens of thousands of reincarnations and time points disappeared with Fang Cheng's forced end, and finally only the original shape remained, the only town of Centralia, returning to the normal time point.
However, the town of Centralia is still wrapped in the semi-independent subspace transformed by the mother's body.
After losing the ability to manipulate time and the strength of his mother's body, Richard, who was polluted by the power of evil gods, his eyes went black and he fell directly into death.
However, the life that Fang Cheng traded to him had an immediate effect, bringing the dead Richard back to life quickly.
"It turned out to be true..."
The resurrected Richard looked down at his hands, and kept stroking his body, with ecstasy on his face.
For so many years, he has been threatened with death, and now he has finally got rid of the threat, one can imagine his mood.
But he still looked at Fang Cheng and Isis vigilantly, for fear that the two would repent.
Now he doesn't have the ability to cross the crack at any time, and even without the help of his mother's physical strength, his strength has dropped to around B level.
Not to mention Fang Cheng, even an ordinary investigator can easily kill him.
Fang Cheng was not interested in doing anything to the non-threatening Richard.
Even if this guy made his teeth itch with anger before, but Richard has been here for more than sixty years, delaying the opening of the door, and he is considered a meritorious person for the earth.
Under Richard's vigilant and disturbed eyes, Fang Cheng waved his hand and sent him directly out of Centralia Town.
Different from Richard who was controlled by his mother's body, Fang Cheng directly took control of the town of Centralia after the role was switched.
Not only Richard, but also Du Lu and the group of investigators who were trapped in Centralia Town were also sent out.
Outside the town of Centralia, on the dilapidated road, Richard and Dulu appeared at the same time.
They stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and then looked at the surrounding environment, all of them were stunned.
This is... come out?
After holding on for half a century, did this escape from reincarnation?
Dulu pinched himself as if in a dream, but an investigator next to him collapsed and burst into tears.
The mood of the others was not much better either. Some people started yelling, and some lay down on the ground and kept kissing the ground.
Richard, who had been mentally prepared, got into the dense forest by the road and left quietly. If he continued to stay, when the group of people came back to their senses, he would have to tear him, the 'black hand behind the scenes', to pieces.
But he didn't run very far, and Dulu caught up and stopped him.
Looking at Richard, whose strength has obviously fallen into a dog, Du Lu sneered: "Aren't you going to explain it to us?"
Richard was quite surprised that Dulu didn't come up to do it directly, after all, this group of people hated him to the core.
Now that the town of Centralia has nothing to do with Richard, he will naturally no longer keep the truth secret, and hastily confessed everything.
"It's not that I don't want to let you go, it's that I don't have the ability myself."
Richard defended weakly: "I misled you, I just want to give you a hope of living, otherwise you would have died long ago."
Although Dulu was shocked by the truth about Centralia Town, he was not surprised by Richard's defense, instead he snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for this reason, you would have died the moment we met just now. "
Richard stared at him blankly: "You already...know?"
Dru's eyes flashed with tiredness: "After so many years, I can guess."
He had already guessed that the killing plan could not be successful.
It's just to make people around me stick to the belief of living, so I didn't say it.
In fact, it is not that no other investigators guessed it, but after they guessed it, they all chose to commit suicide without exception. Only Dulu persisted.
Richard was very shocked. He knew the truth to persist for so many years.
However, Du Lu didn't know anything, and he had to hide it from the people around him. He kept the desperate secret by himself, and he was able to persist for so long.
"Feel sorry…"
Richard apologized in a low voice, guilt all over his face.
Dulu smiled: "You don't need to apologize, you also have good intentions."
Richard shook his head: "No, I just want you not to die so quickly, and stay with me."
If it weren't for Dulu and his group, Richard didn't know if he could last that long by himself.
"Okay, there is no right or wrong in this matter, we are all victims."
Dulu was very free and easy, and even offered his hand to Richard: "Are you interested in staying with us and surviving together in a strange age half a century later?"
Richard was silent for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and held it tightly with his palm.
…
Fang Cheng didn't know what happened outside the town of Centralia. After sending away the irrelevant people, the next step was to solve the problem of the door.
"How are you going to solve it?"
Isis asked aside, there is no time reincarnation, and the opening of the door seems inevitable.
"I have a half-baked idea."
Fang Cheng pondered: "But you have to try it. If you fail, you can only continue to use time reincarnation to solve it."
After seeing the door that couldn't be closed in the seabed crack, Fang Cheng has been thinking about how to solve it.
After so long, he really thought of an immature solution.
Now is a good time to try it out and see how successful it is.
The two quickly returned to the mine. Fang Cheng did not let the raging underground fires disappear. These underground fires are equivalent to a isolation zone, which can eliminate the power of evil spirits seeping out from the door.
Over the altar, the circular door is already looming. Without the power of time reincarnation, the opening of the door seems inevitable.
Isis stood aside, quietly watching Fang Cheng try his 'immature' method.
Fang Cheng flew directly to the edge of the door.
Looking closer, the darkness inside the door seems to have an inexplicable suction force, trying to **** in everything around.
A faint black is spreading out from the door, these are the power of evil gods.
Although it is far from the one under the sea in terms of scale, if left alone, it will become exactly the same one day sooner or later.
Two doors that cannot be closed, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
Fang Cheng took a deep breath, and then opened the crack in the subspace.
He didn't rush to get in, but kept expanding the range of the crack.
The shape of the crack looks like an infinitely thin two-dimensional plane. It is a distorted seam when viewed from the front, but it is invisible from the side.
Fang Cheng pulled the crack to the limit and approached the door in the sky.
His method is very simple, that is, to drag the door into the subspace through the crack in the subspace, and use the power in the subspace to suppress the opening of the door.
This method has two uncertain problems, one is whether the crack can pull the door in, and the other is whether the power in the subspace can suppress the second door.
Now we are going to verify the first problem. The subspace crack is two-dimensional, but the door is three-dimensional. No matter which direction you look at, you will see the front of the door.
When the crack in the subspace approached the door, both Fang Cheng and Isis became nervous and stared intently.
The three-dimensional circular door gradually transformed into two-dimensional under the pull of the crack in the subspace, and became an infinitely thin plane in just a few seconds, and finally was pulled into the crack and disappeared.
Successful?
Fang Cheng and Isis looked at each other, but they didn't expect it to be so easy.
"Just wait a moment."
Fang Cheng left a sentence for Isis, and then he himself followed into the subspace of the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters.
After entering, Fang Cheng saw the door that was pulled in, and it was quickly returning to a three-dimensional circle.
He immediately controlled the power of the ten thousand monsters in the subspace, and suppressed them towards this door.
The two subspaces of the Lord of Monsters and the King of the Undead correspond to the prototypes of the two gates, which were not opened due to the suppression of the mother's power.
He doesn't know if the power here can withstand the second door.
While Fang Cheng waited nervously, the door suppressed by the power of the demons gradually began to shrink, and finally shrank into a black spot and disappeared.
Fang Cheng waited for a while, and after making sure that nothing happened, he let out a long breath of relief.
Finally solved.
