Countless scissors emerged from the dream and were pressed against the shivering clothes.
"What's going on here, start with what you know."
The clothes didn't resist, and in the narration, the whole picture of Kazgir town gradually emerged.
It's called Joshua Pluto, a butcher's boy from before weird times. The town of Catskill is in panic about the uninvited guest: the ship carrying one-tenth of the town's adult males has gone missing, and the disaster has begun.
They began to visit the town frequently. Some people fled to the town of Kazlowo, but it was even worse there, so they could only continue to run away.
Among the people left behind, the elderly died one after another, then it was the turn of women and children, and finally there were not many men left.
At this time, the mayor who went to the city to seek help from the exorcist came back with a loom. He told everyone that the clothes sewn with the fabric of the loom would prevent them from disaster.
The remaining desperate townspeople had no doubt that he was there, and the clothes indeed prevented disaster and the flower season for them, and peace returned to the town of Kazgir.
Soon after, the "tranquility" of the town was broken again. One day, the mayor claimed that the clothes could resurrect their dead relatives and friends, and then they really came back, except for everyone who originally disappeared at sea.
Lu Li realized that there was a certain deviation between the narrative of "Joshua Pluto" and the reality - in the description, the town of Kazvovo became a place where they raised livestock, but there was nothing there except mountains of clothes.
Lu Li got some kind of answer when a family of three who celebrated their child's birthday ate cut clothes and hung clothes strips in a shop called the Butcher's Shop.
He could not feel any strange smell or pollution from the clothes he claimed to be a town citizen, which usually meant a possibility: the textile machine brought back by the mayor acted as a source of pollution and contaminated the clothes, and the townspeople wearing them gradually became clothes -
-Or the clothes stole the townspeople's memories.
So the dead were resurrected in the form of clothes, because the clothes used stolen memories to piece together the dead townspeople, but everything was limited to the town of Kazgir: the men who went to sea were not resurrected, and the people of Kazlowo town were not resurrected.
They are even worse, using their clothes as food, being sheltered and fed by farmers like pigs, and then being slaughtered one day.
For example, the being who left the last words "Are we wearing clothes, or are clothes wearing us?" has not become one of them.
"Are you a survivor or resurrected?"
Lu Li asked about the gray shirt of Joshua Pluto.
"He said of course I'm still alive."
"Joshua Pluto" didn't realize that it had turned into clothes, and Lu Li responded by condensing a full-length mirror in front of it.
"Is this what you call alive?
"
When the cruel reality was revealed before his eyes, the gray shirt fell into a sluggish state.
"He said it's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible."
His nose was full of tears and he even babbled.
Lu Li let go of the crazy gray shirt, and before leaving the shop, he asked: "Who is the first mate of that missing ship?"
"He's still saying it's impossible."
Lu Li, who didn't get an answer, left the store and continued to visit the shops along the street. Subsequent investigations confirmed his guess, and the answer closest to the truth was pieced together;
The outgoing mayor appears with a textile machine that is the source of pollution. The pollution spreads with the clothes. Living townspeople and dead townspeople are transformed into clothes, or clothes are transformed into townspeople.
The textile machine deceives them, making them think that they are still human beings. The discarded and unqualified clothes will be thrown into the town of Kazlowo, where they will grow into food like pigs and be harvested by the "townspeople" who are kept in the dark.
.
And during the investigation, Lu Li learned the name of the uninvited guest: Luo Lun.
Knowing the real name of the uninvited guest, Lu Li continued to follow the clues and investigate his wife and daughter.
What can be confirmed for the time being is that they are not among these "townspeople".
Lu Li visited his neighbor and asked about the whereabouts of his uninvited wife and daughter. Sniffle said, "It said, poor mother and daughter, they just left the town, and the mayor came back with hope."
Returning to the uninvited guest's home, Lu Li pushed the suffering people into the house and closed the door.
Despite this, these "townies" polluted by the textile machines are quite weak. Weak people should not be able to occupy Twin Towns in the weird era, so that weird people dare not set foot.
Maybe there's nothing weird here to attract, or maybe the real power lies in the loom.
Lu Li can burn the town to the ground. But his mission is to investigate the truth like an investigator, not to eliminate the weirdness like a night watchman.
Now it’s time to go to the last place.
Wandering along the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, as I gradually get closer to the home I saw in my dream, sadness and silence gradually occupy my heart. Standing on the street and looking out, the silent house with no candlelight is sitting quietly.
Pushing open the damp and astringent wooden door, the oil lamp in Lu Li's hand appeared to disperse the darkness.
The disturbed dust was wandering around, and the house was empty. The dust covered everything in sight, and also covered the moldy and shriveled black pumpkin pie on the dining table.
Knock—knock—knock—
The lingering uninvited guest knocked on the door.
Lu Li opened the door and told the tall shadow dripping water outside the door what he had discovered after entering Kazgir Town:
"Weird times are coming. The ship you are on is wrecked at sea, and weird things appear in the town of Kazgier. There are fewer and fewer townspeople. The mayor who went out to seek help returns with a weird loom. The clothes contaminated by it will gradually
Has the consciousness of the wearer. It is not yet certain whether it is transferred or not.
It's a replacement. Wearing contaminated clothes will become two entities. I call them clothes townspeople and food townsfolk. Clothes townspeople will live in the form of clothes, and food townsfolk will become food for them to eat. It becomes Kazgir town.
Most are the former, and the town of Kazlowo is the latter.”
The uninvited guest stood outside the door, with the sea water pooling under his feet, as if he was listening quietly.
"Your wife and daughter disappeared during this period. During the investigation, some clothes townspeople said they saw them leaving the town. They may have left the town, or they may have become food townspeople."
"This is the truth I found."
After the calm words, the house fell into dead silence.
The sudden noise from the street disturbed the silence.uuReading www.uukanshu.com
"They're shouting to catch the intruder," said Snot.
Lu Li's investigation alarmed the town.
The uninvited guest turned around and left the door. He did not leave like a ritual, but instead greeted the gathered "townspeople" with traces of his presence.
This was not a happy reunion.
"They were screaming."
The killing is going on.
The clothes are defenseless against the killings of evil spirits. Perhaps because of the strangeness, it was never the activated clothes that protected the Twin Towns, but the bloody dandelions.
Clothes contaminated by looms just happened to be resistant to bloody dandelions, so they took over the results, making the former townspeople think the clothes protected them.
Tragedy happened from this.
At a certain moment, Sniffle said that the screams outside the window disappeared, and an unspeakable deathly silence surged on the streets, wrapping around the houses.
