As An Immortal, I Had To Pretend To Be A Vampire

  Chapter 707 Are you here to quarrel with me?

  The city of Centralia, or should be called the town of Centralia, is located in Pennsylvania, North America, and was established in 1866.

  This was originally a mine, and later it gradually developed into a coal mining town, with thousands of people living here.

In 1962, workers inadvertently ignited a vein of anthracite coal while burning waste in an open pit mine. Part of this huge deposit was buried directly below the town. Once ignited, the flames were channeled into nearby veins. , and finally triggered a huge underground coal mine fire.

  The flames were burning underground, the temperature on the surface of the town soared sharply, and poisonous gas spewed out from the ground. The workers and residents had to flee here, and finally the entire town was abandoned.

   This is what Fang Cheng learned casually on the Internet, but this is only an official record, and there are still many rumors about Centralia Town in private.

   There are legends that the fire was not undoubtedly ignited by the workers, but that the coal mine accidentally dug through hell, and it was the flames of **** that engulfed the town.

   There are also legends that this mine is the gathering place of a certain cult. They hid here to hold a ceremony to summon demons, which eventually attracted demons to descend.

  There are different opinions on the cause of the fire on the Internet, the only thing in common is that there must be a problem here, not as simple as an accident.

  After the fire broke out, the government completely sealed off the town of Centralia immediately, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

  The blockade lasted for several years before it was gradually relaxed. Many bounty hunters and explorers were famously entered the town of Centralia, but none of them made it out alive.

   It has completely become a forbidden place of death where no strangers are allowed to enter.

   When Fang Cheng left Machinery City, he sent a message to Mai Sato, asking her to hack into the internal database of the North American Bureau of Homeland Security to see what was going on in Centralia.

  By the time he entered from high altitude and came to the sky above the town of Centralia, Mai Sato had already settled the invasion and sent the information to Fang Cheng's mobile phone.

  Fang Cheng turned on his phone and found that the Department of Homeland Security did not know much about the situation in Centralia Town.

  According to the information of the Security Bureau, after the fire broke out in Centralia Town, the residents inside did not actually escape, but all disappeared.

  This situation made the Security Bureau realize that there was a problem, immediately blocked the entrance and exit, and then sent people into the town to investigate the situation.

  It's a pity that the investigators who entered the town also disappeared, and none of them were able to come out alive.

  The Security Bureau lost dozens of investigators and nearly a hundred staff members back and forth, and finally had to suspend the investigation plan.

  Anyway, this small town is located in a remote place, and it will not endanger other places, so I simply let it go.

   As for what is going on inside, no one knows.

  Fang Cheng put away his phone and looked down.

  At this moment, he is above the town of Centralia, which is part of the Pennsylvania hillside, and the ground **** is relatively sloping.

   Pale white gas filled the air, and some buildings on the ground could be vaguely seen.

  Fang Cheng did not choose to land directly, but flew outside the town.

  A road connects the town, but it has been in disrepair for a long time and has become dilapidated. Weeds are overgrown on both sides of the road, and a rusty notice board is inserted crookedly.

   "Danger ahead, please stay away."

   There is also a skull drawn below.

  Fang Cheng landed next to the notice board, took out his mobile phone and was about to call Isis, when he suddenly felt a light tap on the shoulder.

  Fang Cheng turned around and punched.

Snapped!

   The fist was caught.

  Isis stood behind Fang Cheng, holding Fang Cheng's fist with one hand, with a helpless expression on his face: "When will you change this habit?"

   It’s been a while since I’ve seen her. She still looks like a dazzling goddess, but the white dress she often wears has been replaced by a T-shirt and jeans.

  Fang Cheng withdrew his fist: "You still have the face to criticize me? Why don't you change your habit of sneak attacking from behind."

  Isis tilted his head slightly, smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you, can this also be called a sneak attack?"

  Fang Cheng was not fooled: "You are joking now, when I get used to it, I will be able to sneak attack in the future."

  Isis could barely keep the smile on his face.

   "If you are so serious, you won't have a girlfriend."

   "Sorry, my girlfriend is too busy twenty-four hours a day, a single dog like you won't understand."

   "..."

  Isis has lived for more than two hundred years, and it was the first time he was complained about as a single dog.

   "Did you forget that I still have Eve by my side?"

   "You made Eve, right? What's the difference between your behavior and those fat nerds who think their hands are their wives?"

   "Are you here to quarrel with me?"

   "That's right, there's still business, and it's all your fault for causing me to stray from my train of thought."

   "..."

  If it wasn’t for Fang Cheng’s inability to defeat him, Isis would really like to stuff his feet into his stinky mouth.

  Fang Cheng admired Isis's deflated expression, then looked at the town of Centralia shrouded in white gas in the distance, and asked, "How are you sure that the mother's body is inside?"

  Isis replied: "I have been investigating the whereabouts of my mother's body, and recently I finally found some clues..."

   Isis did not start looking for the mother's body recently, but has been looking for it for a long time.

   It's just that recently she got the power left by Dracula, and without the intervention of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, she didn't have to search secretly, and finally found some clues.

  Mother's last body may fall into the hands of a man named Richard.

   This is an Englishman in the 1960s. He traveled around the world and finally settled in a remote mining town in North America, which is the town of Centralia.

  Richard had just settled in the town of Centralia for the second year, when the fire broke out, and none of the residents could escape, including Richard.

  Isis stopped the clues after investigating here, but since Richard never left after settling here, and none of those who went in after the fire broke out survived, it means that his mother's body should still be inside.

  After listening to Isis's explanation, Fang Cheng frowned slightly: "Since you are sure that the thing is inside, why don't you go in and find it, instead of asking me to rush over?"

  Isis pointed to the town of Centralia, which was shrouded in white gas: "You'll know when you get closer."

  Fang Cheng's figure flashed, and he came to the entrance of Centralia Town in an instant.

  As soon as I came here, I felt a faint sense of crisis emerging from the bottom of my heart.

   This surprised Fang Cheng.

  With his current strength, except for the evil god, no one will threaten him at all.

   Now facing this strange town, there is actually a sense of crisis.

  Although it was very weak, it was enough for him to pay attention.

   No wonder Isis didn’t rashly go in alone. For Fang Cheng, the faint sense of crisis might be very fatal for her.

  Isis followed to Fang Cheng's side: "Do you want to go in?"

   "Otherwise? It's all here."

  Fang Cheng glanced at her: "If you are afraid, you can wait for me outside."

  Isis smiled faintly: "I don't know what fear is anymore, let's go."

   After speaking, she took the initiative to step into the white gas.

  Fang Cheng also followed behind her.

  He originally thought the white gas was mist, but after entering it, he discovered that it turned out to be some kind of poisonous gas, and it was extremely poisonous.

  Fang Cheng and Isis are naturally fine, but if they were replaced by humans, even A-level ability users would be poisoned to death if they did not take proper protection.

  It's a bit weird here, Fang Cheng and Isis didn't just fly into it in a daze, but walked in slowly.

  Walk along the road for a while, and soon you will see many abandoned objects and vehicles, which are old.

   These are not leftovers from local residents, but DHS dumps after the lockdown.

   It seems that they evacuated in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to deal with the aftermath.

  The two soon came to the entrance of the town.

  A huge crack on the ground lay in front of the two of them, and high-temperature poisonous mist was continuously emerging from the crack.

  The poisonous fog emerging from the ground is not only poisonous, but also carries high-density dust, forming a thick layer of dust on the ground, just like volcanic ash.

   Not far away, a series of high and low houses loomed in the poisonous fog. The surfaces of these buildings were scorched black, as if they had been burned by a fire.

  When they walked into the town, both Fang Cheng and Isis could feel the temperature rising, especially the ground, which was at least as high as nearly 100 degrees, and they could feel the heat obviously when they stepped on it while wearing shoes.

   Underneath the town of Centralia is a huge coal mine. After being ignited by flames, it has been burning continuously.

   Now that more than half a century has passed, this underground fire is still burning, and an engineering study has concluded that the flames here will continue to burn for another century before it ends.

  The flames below are burning, and the temperature on the surface will certainly not be low.

   There are still many plants in the small town, but they are all completely dried tree trunks without any green leaves. Occasionally there are cracks or potholes in the ground, and poisonous mist seeps out from them.

  After entering the town, the faint sense of crisis is still there, and has not strengthened or disappeared.

  Isis stopped and asked, "Do you want to find them separately?"

  Fang Cheng replied: "Don't you know, acting separately in horror movies is deliberate death."

  Isis looks back at him: "Do you think we're in a horror movie?"

   "Almost, the town of Centralia was originally the prototype of the horror game Silent Hill."

  Fang Cheng spread out all the blood and carried out a carpet search of the town, while continuing to chat with Isis about the Silent Hill game.

  The town of Centralia is not large. After all, the original population was only a few thousand.

  Fang Cheng's blood quickly searched the whole town back and forth several times, not to mention useful things, not even a cockroach was found.

   He wondered to Isis: "Are you sure it's in there? I didn't find anything."

"I am not sure."

  Isis said: "But the clues are cut off here. If we don't look here, where else can we go? And do you think this place is normal?"

  At present, apart from the poisonous fog, no danger has been found.

  But it is precisely because of this that it is abnormal, otherwise the Department of Homeland Security would not have blocked this place, and chose to give up the investigation after losing a large number of personnel.

  Hundreds of people died in front of and behind here, it can't be that there are no corpses left.

  Seeing the hasty evacuation of the Department of Homeland Security, they probably wouldn't have deliberately come in to collect the corpse.

   "I'm looking."

  Fang Cheng continued to ask Blood to expand the search range to include the entire mine.

  There is nothing to say around the town. Under the influence of the underground fire, although it is not considered that there is no grass, all the vegetation is half dead, and no living things will stay in this environment. There is not even an ant in the dry grass.

   On the other side of the mine, Fang Cheng's sense of crisis intensified a little.

  His blood entered the interior of the mine, and immediately encountered the burning flames.

  The temperature is extremely high, coupled with the pervasive poisonous fog, the steel will be burned into molten iron when it enters it.

  Fang Cheng's blood ignored the flame and flew directly into it.

  The interior of the mine extends in all directions, coupled with the destruction of the underground fire for half a century, it has formed a rugged and strange underground labyrinth.

   But Fang Cheng couldn't hold back more blood, so he quickly explored the inside of the mine, but the result was disappointing.

  There is nothing in the mine other than flames and ores. Even if there were many mining facilities left over from the beginning, they were completely burned by the flames.

  Fang Cheng even let his blood continue to explore down the mine, and there was nothing inside except stones or stones.

   After exploring all the areas inside and outside Centralia Town, Fang Cheng told Isis about the situation.

  Isis was very calm: "Maybe we came at the wrong time."

  Fang Cheng looked at her and frowned slightly: "Do you know something?"

  Isis smiled slightly: "Why, it's my first time here too."

  Fang Cheng raised his hand: "Then can I touch your head?"

  He felt that Isis must be hiding something from him. If he couldn’t find out by asking, he could only forcefully check it by reading his mind.

  Isis shook his head and refused: "Sorry, my head is very important to me, and no one can touch it."

  Fang Cheng is eager to try: "What about other places?"

  Isis took half a step back: "You might as well touch yourself."

  Fang Cheng replied subconsciously: "I touched it a long time ago, and it's still very comfortable."

  Isis looked at him with perverted eyes.

  Fang Cheng looked back with the same eyes: "Why, can't I touch my face? People like you who wear yellow glasses think everything is yellow."

  Isis: “…”

  She was sure that she couldn't beat Fang Cheng in terms of bad mouth, and she couldn't beat him, so she was very angry.

   "Did you come all the way to fight with me?"

   "No, but you called me all the way here, and now I haven't found anything, what should I do?"

   "Wait a little longer."

  Isis looked around: "I came here yesterday. It seems that there is nothing here during the day, but it will be very lively at night."

"lively?"

   "You'll know when the time comes."

  Fang Cheng finally chose to believe in Isis again.

  The two did not leave the town, but just found a house to hide in, waiting for the night to fall.

   This is a two-storey small building. It looks rotten from the outside, but the structure inside is still intact.

  The living room is full of traces of smoke, and the floor and furniture are covered with thick dust.

   There is a dining table in the kitchen connected to the living room, and there are many dishes, knives and forks and food that rotted into black objects on it.

   Maybe half a century ago, the family in this house was at the dinner table preparing to enjoy food when disaster struck.

  When Fang Cheng searched the town, he saw this situation in many houses. When the disaster strikes, it should be at a certain time during the three meals a day.

  According to the official statement, the residents of the town have enough time to evacuate.

  But in fact, none of the thousands of people in the entire town escaped. They all disappeared, and there was no time to finish the food on the table.

  Isis has already made a chair for himself to lie down on, and there is a table beside it, and a cup of steaming black tea appears on the table.

  From the perspective of ordinary people, Isis's ability is almost like a miracle, creating real objects out of thin air.

  Fang Cheng was shocked when he saw it for the first time, but now he thinks that's it?

  He also made a chair for himself and sat down, and asked Isis who was sipping black tea in an elegant posture: "I want to talk to my mother's soul, what can you do?"

  Isis looked up at him and asked a question: "Guess how long I tried to talk to my mother's soul."

Without waiting for Fang Cheng to answer, she said: "For about fifty years, when I realized that there might be another soul in my body, I have been trying to talk to her. I have been trying for fifty years until she abandoned me. We left without exchanging a word, or even meeting each other once."

  Isis’ expression and tone were very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

   But Fang Cheng seemed to be able to feel the strong resentment of an abandoned woman.

  After being separated from her mother's soul, she has been looking for people who might be chosen by her mother's soul for a hundred years, and she has also actively helped Fang Cheng fulfill her mother's wishes. Maybe she just wanted to meet her mother in person.

  Fang Cheng tried to ask: "What do you think, why doesn't the mother's soul communicate with us?"

  Although he could hear a clear sigh every time he absorbed his mother's body, it wasn't communication at all.

   "Who knows..."

  Isis took a sip of black tea: "Even you, the person who is most likely to fulfill her last wish, can't communicate, so how would I know?"

  I'll go, it has a strong sour taste, it's like green plums copied from aged vinegar.

   But if you think about it in another way, Fang Cheng can understand it a little bit.

  If the system leaves him and falls on another person, it also helps the other person become stronger than himself.

   Then I will probably be sour.

  The words were not speculative, and Fang Cheng was very sensible, so he didn't continue to forcefully talk to her about his mother.

  The two sides talked about each other, and the sky outside quickly dimmed into the night.

  After nightfall, Fang Cheng's blood was also floating around the town, observing any possible changes and abnormalities.

  But after night fell, nothing changed in the town, which made Fang Cheng suspect that he had been tricked by Isis again.

   Until, it was past twelve o'clock at night.

  clang! clang! clang!

  The bell rang suddenly.

   Thanks: Changing the name to QAQ, Ran Ran Diabolo Yaoyao’s long-term reward! (*^▽^*)
