Chapter 895 Romantic Deception
In 1630, when the Black Death broke out in Venice again, the women of Venice, whether poor or rich, prayed to the Virgin Mary, hoping that she would save the city, and the men sent the sick to On the island of Povilla.
Nosebleeds are a sign of death. Men and women first develop nameless lumps on the inner thighs and underarms. Some are as big as apples and eggs. The lumps spread from these two places to the whole body, and then black spots appear, especially on the arms and thighs. The above is densely packed; almost all people who have symptoms will die within three days. Those who are lucky enough to live gather in a safe house, lock themselves up, and live carefully.
Prayer is human beings wish to use supernatural power to achieve their own goals, and can also be regarded as the last refuge.
Where there are miracles, there are religions, and then there are temples, churches and other places of worship. This has been the custom of mankind for thousands of years.
Regardless of whether the disappearance of the plague is the prayer of the women or the promise of the elders, to build a church for Mary is borrowed from the power of miracles. People who maintain awe are often not arrogant or conceited. Wings made of wax challenge the sun.
Povilla Island and Sentosa Island, formerly known as the Endless Island, are small islands that locals will not visit. In order to purify the dark power on the island, the Italian government also specially sent people to plant blackberries on the island to prepare for the sale of assets like Sentosa Island in the future.
Buyers in Singapore are more fortunate. I have not heard of haunting on Sentosa Island. Strange things happen frequently on Bovilla Island. Local workers will not go if they are short of money. Only foreigners who don’t know the basics will do. Go to construction.
Every country has a dark and oppressive history. Before the beginning of immigration, the owners of North America were Indians. They had many tribes, wars between them, and they worshiped different totems. One of them was called Silent Hill. It was originally a religious sacred place for Indians and a habitat for silent elves. The early British colonists in the early 17th century also settled here.
But in the 19th century, smallpox became popular. At that time, the United Kingdom had begun compulsory vaccination to curb the spread of smallpox. Indians without smallpox immunity died in batches, while nothing happened to the British.
The United Kingdom used Silent Hill as an overseas exile. Prisons and hospitals were opened here. Later, the prison was closed and Silent Hill was once again abandoned. In the 1850s, another group of pioneers discovered coal deposits in Silent Hill, and Silent Hill prospered again.
During the Civil War, this place was used as a prisoner-of-war camp, during which large-scale killings of prisoners of war took place. After the Civil War, the prisoner-of-war camp was closed and Silent Hill began to become a tourist attraction.
There is a Toluca Lake near the town. The lake is full of water vapor. It is covered by dense fog all the year round. Although there have been mysterious incidents such as the mysterious disappearance of yachts, it is considered to be an unlucky lake, but as long as you don’t go there By the lake, it is still a very peaceful place.
Ackerman real estate developer in Manhattan intends to build Silent Hill as a holiday and recuperation resort. It will have conference facilities, shopping centers, golf courses, nursing homes, spas, two independent hospitals, and other shops and tourist attractions.
According to the regulations of the EB-5 investment project, foreigners who invest in the project can obtain a green card through the investment immigration program for more than 500,000 yuan. This is a convenient way to apply for residency. Such a good thing makes many foreign investors who want to immigrate to the United States. People are tempted.
In the end, as many as 199 foreign investors provided funds for Silent Hill, and this amount alone was close to 100 million yuan. In addition, each investor has to pay an additional 40,000 yuan management fee, so the amount involved exceeds 100 million yuan.
According to the publicity of this project that year, it is a very promising project. Investors will return all 500,000 investment funds in five years.
Unexpectedly, not only did these investors fail to get their green cards, they might not be able to get back the 500,000 capital.
The most popular products are not the best, but marketing is the most successful.
Although Silent Hill Resort was repaired as expected, there have been no customers, let alone profitable.
The resort project was very popular at the time. Silent Hill had many competitors. Coupled with the reputation of Silent Hill, wouldn’t it be fragrant for seaside resorts with beaches?
It is useless to initiate a lawsuit. This project is a private placement. This method can be exempted from the registration procedure with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Ackerman's contract loopholes prevented foreign investors from cancelling loans to get their funds back. This was a fraud that was carefully planned from the beginning.
Although bank lending is convenient, there is no quick cash flow. What's more, many investors have chosen to swallow their words. Only 78 of 199 investors chose to join the lawsuit, and the remaining 121 assets were bought for 500,000 US dollars. Green card.
Everyone wants to be a respected person, but not necessarily you respect others, others will respect you.
American culture advocates wolf nature. It cannot be respected through prayers and pleadings like believers. It must do everything possible to become a "winner."
"Losers" will not be pityed by others. Onlookers will ridicule. They will step on a foot and sprinkle salt on the wound. Nicola, who sold costumes and was driven back to his hometown by fashion magazines, said that he saw someone The tramp’s shoes are stolen. The tramp’s shoes are worthless. The problem is that there is no shoes. On the big apple street full of broken glass, he can easily bleed and hurt. Some people are so bored and like to make fun.
But Pomona has also met good Americans, like Julian Locke who explains volcanoes to children in the British Museum, Yuki Nakamura who is anti-sugar faction, and Scamander’s wife Tina.
Every country has good people and bad people. If investors are willing to spend some time comparing more projects, their fate may be different.
Someone once said that the transition from American public opinion from printing to television dominance is entering an era of entertainment to death.
The former rationality, order, and logic have gradually changed into being out of context, superficial, and fragmented. All public discourse appears in an entertaining manner. It's like a paper shredder, breaking other people's culture into pieces, and then splicing them into a specious, seemingly "interesting" Frankenstein.
When Pomona and the others found the two doctors who were seeing the young man who had just gone to the Death Island expedition, they were drinking coffee and telling jokes.
This is a hospital donated by a church. The TV in the hallway is showing images of John Paul II praying. He is really very old, his back is rickety, and it looks like a question mark.
In 1939, the German army occupied Poland. The German army closed various universities. All students were forced to end their studies. During the occupation period, all males were required to do labor work and all higher education was prohibited. John Paul II used to Worked in quarries and chemical plants.
Perhaps because of that experience, his body was so bad.
Pomona adjusted her gaze to the two Muggle doctors again.
When she turned her gaze, the TV screen flickered, as if the signal was not good, but it soon returned to normal.
The world will always confuse you in the way you like.
People who live in the world of the Sun God are shrouded in the halo effect, and their eyes are dazzled by the colorful lights.
In addition to the recent hot predictions about the end of the world in 2012, Maya has a legend.
There is a group of people. Although they are called warriors, they have inherited the spirit of their ancestors. They have the brilliance of wisdom in their minds and the power of compassion in their hearts. They will not harm any life.
Together with many light-skinned brothers and sisters, they began to work hard to change the earth. Under the banner of the rainbow, people of all races and all faiths will unite to spread the idea that humans should live in harmony with nature.
It is said that these rainbow warriors finally stopped the destruction and disintegration of the earth through fierce non-violent struggle, peace and prosperity ruled the world for a long time, and the golden age of joy and harmony finally came to the world.
Rainbow Warrior is much cooler than "zombie", although holding a rainbow flag will remind people of Gay.
