Fabricating Weird Myths, Starting From American Comics

Exham Abbey is located on a peak at the eastern end of the village.

The nearest village is five or six kilometers away.

Covered by forest and dense vegetation.

This old abandoned mansion is haunted by the haze of history.

Even though it has long been dilapidated, its former charm can still be recognized.

Perhaps it is because of this that no one even knows that many misfortunes have happened to the Delapore family who live in Exham Abbey.

I am also willing to buy this mansion and renovate it to move in.

Quin Jet spun in the air, and Hawkeye observed the dilapidated old mansion from a high altitude.

The cluttered plants on the ground and the unknown ornamental trees growing wantonly seemed to be attracted by some terrible force.

Growing in one direction in an extremely uncoordinated way.

"Are we going to go straight down there?" Rumlow asked.

Rumlow's reach is also among the best in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. He is also the future villain Crossbones.

When playing against Captain America in Captain America 2, he even managed to keep up with the odds for a short time.

But that's all.

After setting the Quin Jet to automatic flight mode and hovering in the air, Rumlow took a curious look at the scenery below.

A dilapidated mansion stands among a large number of garden plants that have not been pruned for a long time and have grown wildly. The tall and sharp spiers of the Gothic architecture.

Just like the fangs of a beast, it makes people shudder.

"If we don't go down yet, this place should be as full of unknown horrors as Innsmouth.

But in comparison, it seems much better than Innsmouth. "Hawkeye breathed a sigh of relief.

In the hidden fishing village of Innsmouth, only some "five, six, or seven" clues can be found from various incidents.

Even found that they have some accidents.

If it weren't for Natasha Romanoff's ravings in her dream, then maybe humans would never be able to discover that city.

After Hawkeye and the others left Innsmouth.

Nick Fury immediately submitted a report, and the superiors immediately dispatched troops to Innsmouth.

But here's the surprise.

Innsmouth is completely gone!

It should be said that the gloom hanging over Innsmouth has dissipated.

Everyone saw this town that had disappeared from history.

However, the town has been razed to the ground, leaving only some ruins.

Not even a complete brick could be found.

Not a single living person was found, and there was no sign that the monster had ever lived.

Only a gruesome sculpture made of unknown metal was found among the ruins.

But despite Nick Fury's repeated pleas, the horrific sculpture was taken away by the military.

So even Nick Fury didn't get to see what the sculpture looked like.

But that's not the point. The point is that no one in the town where the Innsmouth bus stops remembers Innsmouth.

It was as if the town of Innsmouth didn't exist at all.

But the weird and terrifying sculptures, the ruins of the church and the underground river can all prove it.

The Innsmouth experience was no mere dream.

Hawkeye let out a breath and stopped thinking about random things: "Let's leave here and go to town. Maybe we can get some information."

The Quin Jet was parked in a dense forest not far from Exum Abbey.

Everyone walked to the unknown town at the foot of the mountain.

This town is a typical remote town.

There are not many villagers, but the town is well-equipped.

Stark followed closely behind everyone. After being punched by Quicksilver, Stark had been in a trance.

They were silent on the road.

"Stark, do you want to eat something? Maybe we can take a break before taking action." Hawkeye also noticed that something was not right with Stark.

"It's okay," Stark waved his hand and told everyone not to pay attention, "I just have a little, I can't tell.

Anyway, it just feels weird. "

Stark looked up at Exham Abbey on the hill.

Stark felt like something was watching him, and that feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

As if from Chaos and shadows.

Send a chill down Stark's spine.

But others didn't know that, and instead thought that Stark was still troubled by what happened before.

Don't know how to comfort me.

After all, the missile was indeed built by Stark.

And killing Wanda and Quicksilver's parents was definitely not Stark's intention.

"There is a restaurant in town, where you can have something to eat and find out about Exum Abbey.

Rumlow pointed to a restaurant called "Big Belly Joe's" not far from everyone.

"Looks good." Hawkeye nodded.

Everyone stepped into the restaurant.

"Welcome to Big Belly Joe's Restaurant. Are you here for a trip?" The waitress in the restaurant smiled.

She is a well-maintained middle-aged woman with a slim figure. Although she is not beautiful, the smile on her face gives people a friendly feeling.

"Yes," Hawkeye immediately nodded and acknowledged his identity as a tourist.

"Then you've come to the right place. Our beef cheeseburger is the best here. Come and follow me.

Everyone came to their seats and after ordering their meals, Rumlow stopped them

Rumlow immediately said: "Excuse me, are there any scenic spots nearby? When we came here, we saw an ancient building on the hill in the distance. What is that place?

The words have not yet finished.

Everyone eating around put down their food.

He raised his head and stared at the group of outsiders.

Their eyes were full of scrutiny and hostility.

Even Rumlow, a senior HYDRA agent, couldn't help but feel a little weird.

The waitress who always had a smile on her face also stopped smiling: "Guest, please don't mention that building when we are here."

It seems that building is a taboo in this town even though the name of the building is not mentioned.

It will also arouse the resentment of local people.

This made Hawkeye even more curious about what happened at Exum Abbey.

Because of those murders? Kidnappings?

Or something even more bizarre.

But the owners of that monastery and that family should all be dead.

No matter how great the hatred is, it won't make Exum Abbey a taboo, right?

Could it be because of what happened to the subsequent homeowners?

The house is only five kilometers away from the town in a straight line, and the winding and rugged path to the town is longer than five kilometers.

Could it be said that at night or in an unknown world.

Will the terrifying creatures from Exham Abbey emerge from it, cross the rugged paths, and come to this town to pick their prey?

Hawkeye wanted to ask something, but the hostility of the people here was too strong.

If you continue to ask questions, you may be kicked out of the town.

So Hawkeye suppressed his curiosity.

"Sorry," Daisy smiled, "we don't know what that building means.

Just curious. "

A smile appeared on the waiter's face again: "Can we order now?"

"Definitely, try your signature cheese beef burger."

Everyone ordered something casually, but Stark looked at the food on the plate in trance, his brows furrowed.

Seems very uneasy.

"What's wrong with you? Stark, why don't you eat." Daisy was surprisingly not sarcastic about Stark.

"No, it's okay." Stark came back to his senses, responded casually, and touched his neck.

The feeling of being spied on hasn't dissipated yet.

"Is it Wanda and Pietro?" Stark quickly dispelled this doubt. It would take some time for Quin Jet to reach New England at Flight speed.

Even if you buy a plane ticket on the same day, it will take a long time to reach this town.

It couldn't be the two of them.

Who could it be?

Stark picked up his favorite cheeseburger on the plate, but he couldn't show any interest.

"It seems like you can't get any information in this restaurant. At the beginning, they treated us very warmly.

Everything changed after they heard us say Exham Abbey.

The Delapore family must have done extremely horrific things to the people in this town to make the monastery become taboo in the town.

Perhaps it has something to do with the rituals of the Delapore family. "

Stark put down the burger, and the feeling of being watched dissipated a little, which made Stark feel very strange.

However, despite this, Stark still gave a quite reasonable inference.

"To allow a place to remember a family for nearly a hundred years, what exactly did they do?" Hawkeye frowned,

"The records in the file are not detailed and even somewhat perfunctory. It can be said that the case was hastily closed."

"Was the record officer at the time helping to hide something?" Rumlow became interested, "Maybe the real case records were hidden.

"It is indeed possible, but it has been so long ago that even if there are real case records, they have probably been lost." Hawkeye said,

"You can't put your hopes on this, go to the town and find out...

There's always some guy who's short of money and is willing to tell us what we want. "

"But you have to avoid people when doing this kind of thing. Even if someone wants to tell us something, I'm afraid they are not among these people." Stark saw the hills of Exham Abbey standing outside the window, and suddenly said with some confusion. ,

"You tell me why people here hate that building so much.

But don't want to spend a little effort to destroy the building?

We also saw from the air just now that the main structure of that building is made of wood.

Just set a fire and the building would be destroyed.

But people in the town didn’t do this, why?”

"Perhaps they are too scared to approach that house?" Daisy thought for a moment and said.

“What exactly exists in that house?”

A question arose in everyone's mind.

What did the Delapore family do to the residents of this town.

Even mentioning the monastery now arouses the hostility of the residents.

After eating, we left the Big Belly Joe restaurant.

There are also many poor residents in this remote town.

If enough money is given, perhaps the truth about that year can be unearthed from them.

Everyone who walked out of the restaurant began to look for targets in the town.

Maybe he is a homeless person, maybe he is a person who is troubled by the pressure of life.

As long as they need money and are willing to provide some news about Exham Abbey.

Anyone can.

But they cannot actively search for it, which will arouse the vigilance of the people in the town.

So Hawkeye and Stark spread as much money as possible.

and repeatedly expressed an interest in Exham Abbey.

They started a long-planned coin scattering operation in the town.

The two people's extravagance immediately attracted the attention of the town.

That night,

A poorly dressed man came to visit.

Wearing a severely worn felt hat, the old man with gray hair and beard knocked on the hotel door where everyone was staying.

"Hello." Daisy opened the door and invited the old man in.

The old man held his felt hat in his hand and said with some restraint and uneasiness: "I heard that you are very interested in Exum Abbey.

Want to know his history.

I know something about it, but I don’t know how much you are willing to pay?”

"I'll give you 10,000 USD." Hawkeye said.

Hearing this, the eyes of this down-and-out old man shone with light: "Ten thousand USD?"

"If you are willing to reveal more relevant information, we can give more. Perhaps you can describe the Delapore family for us?"

When Rumlow said this, he stared at the old man, trying to get more information from the old man's reaction.

Sure enough, when he heard about the Delapore 3.7 family, the old man shuddered.

"Why do you know that family? No, absolutely not." The old man opened the door and left as he spoke.

"Wait." Stark stopped the old man, "We will give you 100,000 USD in cash."

The old man had already put his hand on the doorknob and froze. It was obvious that he was in urgent need of the money now.

Licking his dry lips, the old man felt a little hesitation and disbelief: "One hundred thousand USD, this..."

"Daisy, give him the money and bismuth."

"Okay." Daisy picked up the suitcase containing cash and poured it on the bed.

"There's two hundred thousand USD in cash here, as long as you tell us what happened to the Delapore family and that house.

This money is all yours. "

The old man looked at the pile of cash on the bed, his eyes revealing greed and desire, and he nodded nervously and said

: "Okay, what do you want to know? As long as it is something I know, I will tell you everything.

Tell everything you know. "

"First of all, I want to ask you.

The massacre of the Delapore family occurred in 1972, what exactly happened at that time?" Hawkeye asked.

That incident was a turning point for the Delapore family and the beginning of Exham Abbey becoming a no-man's land.

"That thing?" The old man's eyes exuded a cunning and wise light,

"You already investigated it before you came here, right?"

Hawkeye did not deny urging: “If you want to get the money quickly, stop nagging.

"Okay, I can definitely tell you." The old man looked at the money on the bed, then looked at Hawkeye and finally said,

"At that time, I was still a child...".
