Chapter 554 Abnormal events at the beach 3

As a long and narrow peninsula with a coastline of more than 100 kilometers from the mainland, the Fraser Peninsula not only blocks wind and waves, but also blocks some cold currents from the south in winter. It may not have a big impact, but it also makes the climate in northern Queensland worse.

It's a little hotter.

However, as the largest sand island in the world, perhaps because the terrain here is not suitable for habitation, or perhaps because Oceania is too vast and sparsely populated, no residents have settled on such a large island covering an area of ​​more than 1,600 square kilometers.

It was developed into a tourist island because of its natural scenery.

The fishing village in front of us is so close to the Fraser Peninsula, so it stands to reason that it should not be abandoned like this.

The group of people got off the car at the entrance of the village and walked toward the fishing village. Simon Joyner seemed to have noticed the doubts of the others, and couldn't help but explain as they walked:

"This was originally a fishing-based village with more than a hundred local residents, but since the first abnormal event occurred half a year ago, it has now become a no-man's land."

In the crowd, Eddie Dresden looked at his surroundings, leaned next to Xie Zihao and whispered:

"Lance, do you feel something is wrong here?"

As a wizard, his talent for perception may not be as good as that of psychics and shamans, professions that rely on perception, but it is definitely not weak.

Xie Zihao nodded.

"Something's wrong!"

It was obviously a warm and sunny seaside just now, but it was at least seven or eight degrees Celsius colder here. Both the land and the sea gave people a black and cold feeling.

Some are like negative energy gathering areas like necropolises, but they are obviously different.

If this is the Newfoundland Island near the northern part of the Federation, or the cold coast north of Northern Europe, then such a climate and seawater color are not surprising, but this is obviously a subtropical area close to the Tropic of Cancer!

The environment at the seaside not far away when they came here was completely different from here.

Xie Zihao could tell that this village must have been polluted by some force that was biased towards the negative energy field. Judging from its residual aura, it shouldn't be too long ago, but he had the feeling that he had come to an abandoned place that had been abandoned for decades.

The sense of déjà vu in a deserted village.

Without expressing his suspicions, he turned to the two local detectives and asked:

"What is this village called?"

Simon Joyner replied:

"Plymouth! The name here is Plymouth."

Rose Anderson, Eddie Dresden and Xie Zihao all had surprised expressions upon hearing this.

Before they could ask, Agent Joyner took the initiative to introduce:

"Originally, one of the original traders came here first and found that it was very suitable as a fishing port, so he planned to build it into a city with developed navigation industry like Plymouth in England."

"As a result, the businessman accidentally encountered a shipwreck as soon as he established his foothold here, and lost his source of funds. Later immigrants yearned more for the cities that had been opened up, so the early immigrants who settled here could only rely on fishing to make a living.

For more than a hundred years, this place has been just a fishing village, starving to death, but it has never developed."

Xie Zihao nodded. Judging from the performance of Simon Joyner, the opponent should be the one who acts as a think tank and assistant in their team, while captain Duncan Brightman is the main force in the battle.

He continued to ask: "So where have all the residents in this village gone?"

Others have also set their sights on Simon Joyner.

The handsome detective's face changed slightly and he said:

"Missing! Everyone here has disappeared..."

"At the beginning, after the first strange incident we recorded, the first batch of local police officers who arrived found that a dozen people were missing in the village of more than 100 people."

"Later, our branch in Queensland got the news and sent two colleagues over. As a result, a second strange incident occurred and they also disappeared together with them, including two local police officers."

Duncan Brightman, who was walking in front, took over his teammates’ words and said:

"Before the third strange incident occurred, only half of the people in this village were left, but those people had no intention of escaping here. The Queensland branch sent another team of agents over, because there were previous cases of disappearances, this

Once they were prepared for a response, but after we discovered that a team of people had lost contact the next day, they cordoned off the village."

"I just didn't expect that the fourth strange incident broke out so suddenly. All the remaining villagers disappeared that night, and the people who blocked the village outside were also affected and three people disappeared. Therefore, this place is now a restricted area, within 20 miles around.

Ordinary people are not allowed to enter."

These are actually introduced in the case files that were faxed in advance, but they are not as in-depth as the local detectives handling the case, and some details are not in the files.

It seemed that the two of them were in a bad mood because of the missing colleagues, and they, outsiders, did not open their mouths to comfort them, lest they would backfire and make the other party unhappy.

Rose Anderson is indeed a professional investigator and scientist. She grasped the key point and asked:

"Then the problem we are facing is a man-made paranormal case or a natural paranormal phenomenon?"

The two local detectives couldn't help but look a little ugly when they heard this. They paused for a few seconds before Simon Joyner spoke:

"Currently we have no real clues. There is a high probability that it is a natural supernatural phenomenon, but it may also be caused by some monsters."

To be honest, this result made them both blush. Three batches of elite personnel were missing for nothing. The Magical Investigation Bureau did not reveal the cause of the incident, but did not even investigate some useful clues. It was a bit embarrassing to tell them.

This is why they have to take the initiative to ask for help from the outside world.

"What we know is that colleagues from the Third Queensland Bureau specially used the large-scale astrological locator produced by the Angland Ministry of Magic. It has powerful functions such as stable range of abnormal weather phenomena, psychic response and positioning, and protection.

Each of the agents in that team was fully armed, and a B-level extraordinary person and several C-level extraordinary persons were dispatched, but the result of disappearance could not be avoided."

Rose Anderson has some knowledge about that kind of astrological locator. She knows that it is a new type of magical instrument developed by the United Kingdom more than ten years ago. It is only distributed in several major countries within the Federation. The White Eagle Federation

I once wanted to buy one for research but was rejected.

Although the main direction of the federation in the new era is the combination of supernatural and technology, which is very different from the path of magic, and has become the country with the strongest supernatural technology in the world today, they actually still envy those ancient countries with their extraordinary heritage.

It can do many things that technology cannot.

As an employee of the Ministry of Magic and a top student at the United Kingdom Academy of Magic, Eddie Dresden was no stranger to astrological locators. He couldn't help but ask:

"As far as I know, the purpose of the astrological locator was originally developed to locate and contact the real world when exploring other worlds. Other functions are secondary. Since the third batch of missing people were wearing astrological locators,

, so did your Magical Investigation Bureau receive their distress signal?"

A look of worry flashed across the faces of both Duncan Brightman and Simon Joiner, and the latter replied:

"The astrological locator at the headquarters retains the encrypted signal of the missing station. We did receive a signal from the missing person not long ago, but it seems that the information was destroyed during the transmission for some reason. Now we can only confirm which station

The astrological locator is still running, and at least one of the missing people is still alive, so we have to ask you for help!"
