Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 240 It Will Come Back

On December 2044, 12, a small town in the United States.

It was cold winter, and under the abnormally heavy snow caused by climate warming, most of the vegetation had withered, only cold-resistant plants such as firs still stood up in the heavy snow.

In this flying snow, the earth is covered with white clothes, and the abnormal weather makes local residents reluctant to travel.It is also because of this that this new town with a small population looks even more desolate, but in this white land, there are two small black dots moving forward.

"Huh, Mike, do we have to walk through it step by step? Can't we drive a car?"

The tight head wrapped in the scarf exhaled white air from the gap, and Louis looked at the town curiously while complaining.Beside him, a middle-aged man wearing a hat and a black overcoat put his hands in his pockets, his head wrapped in a scarf only exposed a pair of eyes to the outside world.

"The target doesn't like to be disturbed. According to the regulations, the use of vehicles, flying skateboards and other noisy vehicles must be prohibited. You will gradually take over my task in the future. This is your first time to go to the target's residence. You must remember these points live."

The man said in a commanding tone.

Facing his superior's words, Louis could only respond, and then the two walked in silence for a while, and Louis, who felt that the silence was too silent, tried to speak again.

"Mike, have you seen such a big snow before? Anyway, I have never seen snow since I was born, and I only saw it in VR."

"When I was a kid, there was a lot of snow like this."

said the man.

"I see those scientists say that this unexpected heavy snow is related to 124. I feel that those scholars are now more and more fond of pushing things to 124. They like to say that it is because of 124."

"Speaking of 124, since I was a child, scientists have said that it is an internal anomaly in the sun, but many people insist that it is related to us. Do you think it is true?"

While complaining, young Louis couldn't help asking.

124 is the contemporary name for the astronomical anomaly that occurred on December 2004, 12.

40 years ago, the sun changed, which also disturbed the earth. Under such circumstances, a large number of natural disasters occurred on the earth at that time and in the following decades, and it was not until these years that it gradually subsided.

Although the official statement claims that the 124 event was caused by abnormal activities inside the sun, conspiracy theories have never stopped regarding the 124 event.Supernatural power theory, alien civilization theory, supernova theory, future man theory, and some conspiracy theory groups insist that it has something to do with Freemasonry.

Those who believe that it is related to the Masonic conspiracy theory believe that it was the Masonic society that triggered the machine of the ancient Atlantis civilization at that time, which led to the subsequent sun mutation.

"Those are conspiracy theories."

Facing Louis' curiosity, the man in the coat beside him just walked forward while replying indifferently.

"But the Atlantic incident that Sailor Charlie mentioned, how do you explain it?"

In 2028, according to a veteran US sailor who served on a battleship at the time, he saw the ocean being cut and divided by a beam of light.

"It is more dazzling than a thousand suns. It easily dug through the entire ocean, just like the myth that Moses parted the Red Sea, exposing the deep seabed..."

According to the old sailor, after the incident, the personnel on board were required by the military to keep it secret, and after that, the sailors were dispersed and reorganized.Although there is no evidence, he insists that military personnel are still spying on him until now, and he has kept the secret in his heart for many years before secretly finding an opportunity to announce it.

However, in the later medical appraisal, the veteran US sailor was found to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease and depression, so it is not sure whether what he said was delusional, or because he was too lonely and wanted to use shocking words to win the world's attention.But among those conspiracy theorists, the voice of the old sailor was extremely popular.

Many people therefore claim that this incident is related to the legendary Atlantis civilization.

"Just the ramblings of an old soldier."

The man in the coat still walked forward without looking back.

"What about the strange phenomenon in Manhattan? This is officially recognized, and many people can testify."

Louis asked again.

The other evidence is the strange events in Manhattan, New York when the 124 incident occurred.

At the same time as the 124 incident, a strange phenomenon occurred in Manhattan, New York at that time. A strange explosion destroyed the entire Manhattan area, causing a large number of casualties.

And some people said that before this weird explosion, a large number of soldiers and even fighter planes went there, blocking the people from going there.A policeman who did not want to reveal his real identity insisted that "long before the explosion, everyone was turned into salt."

"That afternoon, the police station received a temporary task and asked capable police officers to go to Manhattan, and I was one of them... After I went there, I discovered that there was a steady stream of soldiers there, and those soldiers asked us to open the isolation zone , to drive away the crowd. Although I still don’t understand what happened there, but one thing I can be sure of, those who disappeared turned into salt, because I saw at that time that there were people on some streets and on the driver’s seat Some white matter, that's salt... I was ordered to return after that, but after a while, the explosion happened, and the whole of Manhattan was vitrified, and almost none of the soldiers survived, and I was one of the few survivors of the incident one."

This is also one of the few officially recognized incidents, but the official explanation is that due to the impact of the 124 incident, the weapon depot in an underground military base was accidentally detonated.

Due to the large number of missing people and the fact that a military base was secretly placed in Manhattan, this incident caused great public opinion and political shock at the time, and countless public officials resigned.

Time has passed, and many events of that year have been settled, but the impact of the 124 incident is still widely discussed.

The impact of the 124 incident is so profound that even today, 40 years later, there are countless books, movies, and games discussing it.

However, because there are too many such rumors about 124, and the logical loopholes in many statements are very large, so the supporters of the conspiracy theory are only a very small number of people, and the vast majority of people still believe the official statement.

"An explosion, what's there to say."

The man replied coldly.

"but……"

Before Louis could finish speaking, the man who always spared his words stopped, and then looked at Louis beside him.

His eyes were hidden behind the scarf, and it was terribly cold. Louis felt creepy in front of these eyes, and swallowed his words abruptly.

"I know that your grades in gun shooting and clue tracking are very good, and those instructors speak highly of you, but in my eyes you are just a kid who has just stepped into the outer world. If you don't want to be washed away by the mechanism If you remember, don’t talk much, just keep your mouth shut.”

This may be what men say the most when facing Louis.

Intimidated by those cold and terrifying eyes, Louis said nothing more along the way.

When he came to a small bar, the man opened the door and walked in. There was no one inside, only the boss sitting in front of the counter was wiping the wine glass in his hand.

"Hey, Mike, I haven't seen you for a year, and you came to visit your uncle again?"

"..."

Facing the warm greeting from the boss, Mike didn't say much, just nodded slightly, took off his hat, and revealed his stern face.

The bar owner obviously understood Mike's character, he smiled and said nothing, and then looked at Louis next to Mike.

"Who is this……"

"my son."

Mike replied indifferently, while Louis scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled at the bar owner.

"Son... That strange old man is really lucky. You have such caring family members as you, and you visit him every year."

The bar owner seemed to have thought of something, and said with some regret.

"Blame the old man? Is old Roberts weird?"

Louis asked curiously.

The barkeeper laughed.

"It's not just weird, he's withdrawn and stubborn. He guards his sea of ​​flowers all day long, lives on the edge of the town, and doesn't interact with others. It's been decades, and most people here haven't gotten along with this weird guy. The old man spoke."

"Speaking of which, in the early years, there were some tourists who wanted to visit the sea of ​​flowers, and they could have earned more money for traveling, but the strange old man pointed a gun at those tourists and forced them to leave. Shooting directly scared the tourists so that they never dared to come again..."

Having said that, the bar owner shook his head regretfully.

It seems that there is a lot of resentment towards this old Roberts, and no one usually wants to listen to him rambling. When he meets Louis, an audience who is willing to listen to him, the bar owner is also very interested and spit.

And Louis kept nodding, but at the same time quickly built a character image model of "Old Roberts" in his mind.

She is withdrawn, weird, and her marksmanship seems to be very good, and she especially values ​​her own sea of ​​flowers...

Louis asked as they walked out of the bar.

"Why did you go to the bar halfway? This bar owner should be just an ordinary person."

"The snow on us is too thick, the target won't like this, we have to melt it before going to see him."

Mike pressed his hat and said indifferently.

The confusion in Louis's heart became more and more intense. Judging from Mike's performance, he seemed to value that strange old man called "Old Roberts" very much. No, or the agency valued this strange old man very much.

"Why on earth is this old Roberts so important?"

He still couldn't help but speak.

Mike didn't answer him, but continued to move forward indifferently.

Within a few minutes, the two saw a lonely house, and the sea of ​​flowers not far away had withered.Mike walked to the house and knocked on the door.

"Bang bang bang."

After waiting quietly for a while, there was no response.

"Uncle Roberts, are you there? This is Mike."

However, there was still no response. Mike's brows were furrowed. He realized that something was wrong, so the agent took a step back decisively and knocked open the door.

"Oh!"

The door lock was violently knocked open, and the scene in front of him stunned Louis who was behind him...

Strange words were written on the ground, walls, furniture, and even the ceiling. Some of the words were still in English, but some had become words that no one knew at all.Those English words seem to be written at the beginning, and they were roughly smeared with ink, and then began to turn into bright red blood. Those frantic outlines and traces all reflect the madness of the writer.

Among those English words, Louis could barely make out a few...

"Joan", "Betty", and "Wendy", these three names were repeatedly scribbled, and occasionally a name called "Uberto" would suddenly appear, but at the end of the writing, these cyclical names finally appeared. are replaced by one sentence...

"It will come back!"

"It will come back!"

"It will come back!"

Huge handwriting and crazy scribbles all reveal the hysteria of the person who wrote these words.And after that, almost every sentence was repeated in this way, only the names of the previous people occasionally reappeared, and then there were those weird words written with blood smearing.

Mike's face was gloomy, and he began to search quickly, but...

"No."

Mike said calmly, but his hands did not know when to tightly clenched the hat.

"Wait...you look at this."

But on the side, Louis pointed to a place where debris was piled up. Where Louis pointed, there seemed to be blood and a few strange scales, just like the scales of a snake.

"It should have left a few hours ago, maybe it can still catch up."

Louis clenched his fingers, and then judged...

Following the faint traces of blood and scales all the way, the two chased desperately, but the traces of clues also showed strange changes.At the beginning, it was just bright red blood, but then it gradually turned into a large amount of snake scales and blood scattered.

At the end of the trace, there is a beach...

"Crash..."

The sea water hits the land, stirring up the tide to keep surging.

A long bloodstain, traces of struggling to crawl forward could be vaguely seen, and at the end of the bloodstain, at the junction of the sea water and the land, was a corpse lying quietly, with scales all over his side.

On that old face, the frozen pupils had no color, only dead silence.

Snake scales seem to be all over the body, and those snake scales seem to grow out of its body, and fresh traces of being forcibly peeled off can also be seen.Those fragmented skin, scales, and open wounds seemed to prove how much pain the deceased had endured during his lifetime.

"He...he seemed to be running all the way, pulling off the snake scales on his body all the way, and finally lost too much blood and died before running to the sea."

Louis swallowed, and looked at the corpse in front of him in astonishment.

Looking at the corpse, Mike's eyes were complicated.

"Is he a man or a monster?"

Louis couldn't help asking.

"It's human."

Mike replied affirmatively. He stared at the old man in front of him who was still trying to pull off the snake scale that symbolized a monster, and said inexplicably.

"A man who once saved the world."

40 years ago, during that little-known legendary adventure across the continent, the moon, and the deep sea, Roberts, the last survivor, died.

……

Half an hour later, in a certain building, a person had received messages and photos from the agent.

The tall and thin man looked carefully at the sent VR video, and unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table. His face was indifferent, but he could faintly see some uneasiness, and then he spoke.

"Send these to Mr. Roman."

Another 10 minutes later, an angry growl was heard.

"Impossible! It's dead! Dead! It can't have a chance to come back!"

"But it is the truth, Mr. Roman."

Facing the image in front of him, the old man in his 80s, who has already retired to the second line but is still full of power, the tall and thin man said neither humble nor overbearing.

"There is a high degree of 'snakeness' in Roberts, and the degree of 'snakeness' is far beyond our understanding. Even in the materials that have been excavated, such a high level of 'snakeness' is very It’s unimaginable, and I’m afraid the original Uberto couldn’t compare with it.”

"You once said to me that the 'snake' is because the more you know, the easier it is to be infected by erosion. Uberto is the chosen one, and that existence endowed Uberto with a lot of knowledge, and in the end he borrowed Uberto's hand is out of the seal. But now it seems that Roberts is the one who was really chosen. After 40 years, we thought that Roberts didn't know much, and there would be no 'snake', but now it seems that we were wrong gone."

"If Mr. Roberts really ran to the sea in the end, we can't know what a completely snake-like snake man would do. But fortunately, Mr. Roberts was obviously aware of this, and in the end he was forced to She took off her own snake scales and let herself bleed to death."

After listening to the tall and thin man's words, the old man on the opposite side leaned on a cane and sat on a chair in vain.

After a while, he inexplicably remembered what Da Vinci had said when he first saw him.

"The Priory of Mount Xion has many secret branches. I will tell you the secret instructions to control them. Remember, make good use of them..."

At the end, he still didn't quite understand why Da Vinci handed over the method of controlling those secret branches to the Freemasonry. You know, that is a huge organization in the inner world, an ancient organization comparable to the Freemasonry , but in the end it was offered to the Freemasons by Leonardo da Vinci, who was the master of the Priory of Sion.

why?
He didn't understand at all.

But now, he seemed to vaguely understand something...

"The gods are delighted, the gods are delighted... You are the one who knows the destiny, you are the one who sees the secret, inherits the ancient blood, and keeps the eternal loyalty. You need to keep in mind that what cannot be said cannot be said, and the sound that cannot be heard cannot be heard , the appearance of the invisible and the invisible..."

Suddenly, Roman inexplicably remembered the words that every monk of the Priory of Mount Xion needed to recite when they joined.

In a daze, he seemed to be able to see a pair of erect snake eyes, coldly overlooking this sandy world shaped by tiny ants.

……

In the depths of the earth, the huge will is still sleeping, occasionally uttering the low sleep talk; while above the earth, people who know nothing are still enjoying a peaceful life.
