The lost town lies in darkness. Even if weirdness nests in the town, bringing prosperity and new life...the glory cast no longer belongs to humans.
In the lost town of Kazlowo, three strange uninvited guests broke into the dead and desolate empty streets.
A thin little girl who is no taller than a wine barrel, a bloated ball of flesh with terrifying eyeballs, and a slowly emerging ghost shimmering with light.
Whether a strange tribe has nested here, or there are monsters lurking in the town, the scent of humanity can draw them out of their hiding places.
Lu Li hopes that aliens, alien species or intelligent races will appear. That means they can communicate and learn about the past of Twin Towns.
As for the possibility of humans taking refuge here... Lu Li must accept a cruel reality: Twin Towns is not a special area, there are no survivors here, and even the local residents have little hope of turning into monsters.
The weirdness at the bottom of this world is like plants. They grow in the rainy season and die in the cold winter. When the next year comes, new weirdness will be born.
Human nature envelopes a small half of the town of Kazlowo. The good news is that the town is cleaner than expected, and human nature does not attract any weirdness. The bad news is the same, no weirdness means no intelligence.
Lu Li, Sniffle and the Misery went deep into the town and arrived at the square in the center of the town, where the wind of silence blew through the streets.
The town is empty.
oo@@――
The spider he let go before entering the town came back. At first Lu Li thought it would bring some unexpected surprise, until his vicious compound eyes flashed with greed, and he opened his fangs and pounced on Lu Li.
Lu Li solved it and took back the humanity he was given.
The only contribution of the spider mount is that together with the town, Lu Li realized that a silent town itself represents abnormality: it is difficult to count how many spiders and how many kinds of weirdness appear in this land in the weird era, but there is a consensus on one thing
: They exist in every inch of land, just like the weeds that once covered the earth.
A quiet and desolate town is stranger than a strange and raging town.
Before investigating the cause, Lu Li picked a shop from the edge of the square that had a complete structure and had doors and windows, and asked the people with sniffles and suffering to go around to the other side of the square and walk into the shop alone.
Katsa -
The debris buried under the dust was stepped on, disturbing the shops that had been covered in dust for a long time.
Lu Li pushed the wooden door that was swollen due to moisture to close. The damaged door leaked air everywhere.
But it is enough as a ritual prop.
Knock—knock—knock—
When Lu Li stepped back from the door, a slow and low knock on the door flowed in the darkness.
Uninvited guests arrived as promised.
Lu Li opened the door again, and a tall figure dripping with seawater stood outside the door, his face blocked by the shadow under his wide-brimmed hat.
Compared with Lu Li taking the initiative to invite uninvited guests, it was more like uninvited guests staring at Lu Li all the time.
"The town of Kazgil is just ahead. We are looking for the whereabouts of your wife and daughter. Do you want to follow?"
The uninvited guest responded to Lu Li with action: he turned around and left, as if the ceremony had been broken.
"There's nothing weird about this town, and you know why."
Lu Li returned to the street and asked the uninvited guest who had not yet disappeared.
The surging haze slowly submerged the uninvited guest, and before the silhouette of the shadow finally merged into the darkness, the uninvited guest's head turned slightly, guiding Lu Li in a direction.
Lu Li remembered the direction the uninvited guest had last headed and returned to Sniffles on the other side of the square.
"Have you finished what you have to do?"
The little girl who knew nothing raised her head and asked.
"Just starting, follow me."
Leaving the square, Lu Li led Sniffles and Misery through the streets and approached the location indicated by the uninvited guest.
The dreaming people filled the air quietly, touching the edge of the town and then shrinking back around Lu Li.
Nothing was sensed in the dream. Perhaps the location prompted by the uninvited guest was outside the town, or there were only clues there - and a powerful existence that even the dreamer could not sense.
If it's the latter, the people who are suffering should be able to help Lu Li delay for a while.
Passing through the ruins among a group of dilapidated and collapsed houses, a mountain of garbage was quietly piled in an open space surrounded by shacks.
Lu Li saw many clothes, piles of clothes, piled up to form a low mountain of clothes.
The once bright clothes are mottled, faded and piled up in layers, losing their original color and purpose, like a pile of foul-smelling garbage.
The uninvited guest should be guided by the pile of clothes in front of him.
Is the clue in the pile of clothes, or in the pile of clothes itself?
"People here have a lot of clothes..."
The snot reminded Lu Li that a small town could not digest such a large amount of clothes. Even if it might have been left behind by a caravan passing by, why would they gather the clothes here?
They will have answers soon.
Bizarre dreams wrap up the mountain of clothes, and invisible forces push them away layer by layer, just like the strong wind on the eve of a storm blowing up garbage.
Long skirts, scarves, shirts, linen, textiles, raincoats...
The worn clothes were fluttering in the air, and a notebook fell out of the clothes and was carried by the wind to Lu Li.
Clothes were falling like snowflakes. Lu Li, who couldn't concentrate on controlling the cursed title and reading for the moment, opened his notes.
The scrawled, wrongly formatted, smeared shadows and punctuation can vaguely reveal the mental state of the writer:
[I don’t have much clothes...The flower season may come at any time...I have to steal some...]
[Damn it! Why did Pinoy resist? He didn’t have to die! His clothes were contaminated! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! 】
[Here it comes...the flower season is here again...]
[I still have three pieces of...socks...how do I use the socks! I have to steal them, or...change them, I have to change them!]
[I'm sorry... I didn't want to do this, but you forced me! If you don't scream, I will... a dress? How am I going to wear it!]
[I tuck it under my clothes, uu read books www.uukanshu.com Two layers of clothes make me feel much safer... Chandler is encouraging us to run out again. Does he think I am a fool? Outside is a hundred times more dangerous than the town! 】
[Chandler is dead, he didn’t die in front of me, but I saw that it was the flower season that killed him, and more flowers grew up... Damn it, he brought big trouble!]
[I joined the plundering team, the weaklings in Gill Town do not deserve to have clothes!]
[Five pieces, I can survive five more flower seasons...or six?]
[It’s the flower season again...I have no clothes...I need clothes...]
