Chapter 1872 (1/2)
”You don't look very well, Mr. Francis.”
Looking at Francis in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed, then he made a gesture, and soon ASAKURA came to serve him a cup of coffee. In fact, as Fang Zheng said, Francis now looks very embarrassed. He looks pale, sweaty, and even disheveled. He looks like a lover who was found by the principal when he was cheating and then jumped out of the window to escape.
”Have some coffee first, maybe it will make you feel better.”
”Thank you, thank you...”
Francis took a deep breath, took a few sips of coffee and finally relaxed. Then he looked uneasily at NIMF and ASAKURA Liangzi beside founder.
”Well, I have some personal matters...”
”It doesn't matter, Mr. Francis. They are my assistants and know a lot about it.”
”Yes, it is...”
Hearing Fang Zheng's reply, Francis nodded. Then he put down the box in his hand, took out a document from his arms and handed it to Fang Zheng. At the same time, Francis told Fang Zheng about his experiences in these days.
After the nightmare of insmouth, Francis was also greatly stimulated. In order to divert his attention, he gave up the next trip and immediately started his own journey to find his roots. He found his family in Arkham, and then began to trace his ancestors. Then Francis found a piece of information that shocked him.
His mother's family, the ancestor, once married a woman surnamed marsh in Arkham. And marsh is exactly the name Francis heard from the drunk old man in insulmouth about the actual dominators of insulmouth. Not only that, the old man had told Francis before that the head of marsh family had married one of those terrible monsters who climbed up from the bottom of the sea, and then had three children, two of whom remained here because they kept the shape of monsters. The last daughter was sent to Europe to study because she was still in human form. Then the patriarch played some tricks and let a man living in Arkham marry her.
Hearing this, Francis felt creepy, which made him think of some bad memories. Although they were just vague memories, I don't know why, Francis was very scared at the moment.
One of those monsters, a woman who looks like a human, married a man who lived in Arkham. In my own family, my mother's grandparents, that is, my great grandmother's generation, did marry a woman surnamed marsh.
But at that time, Francis just felt that he was too nervous, and that the memory he had left for him in Innsmouth was too deep.
But after that, when he saw his uncle's jewelry that belonged to his great grandmother, Francis almost collapsed.
That kind of weird style, the terror and distortion that people can hardly look directly at, although extremely exquisite, but also the existence of extremely fear It's the same thing he saw in the old town as in Innsmouth! It is said that these exquisite creations came from the deep sea and were the gift of the great gods, but at this moment, in Francis's view, they were the emissaries of demons.
”I, I don't even know what to do I passed out at that time, then I woke up, I, I don't know who to look for, so Mr. van Helsing, please help me. What can I do? Will I be the same as those people in Innsmouth No, I don't know, but I won't... ”
”Well, calm down first, Mr. Francis.”
Fang Zheng reached out and patted his hand.
”Are you worried about becoming a deep diver Well, I can't give you a definite word about this, but if you think about it carefully, no one in your family has become like that since your great grandmother. Do you know that great grandmother? ”
”No, I don't know...” I heard she died very early. ”
”Well, let's not talk about her. What about your mother? What about your grandparents? ”
”My mother...”
Speaking of this, Francis gradually calmed down.
”My mother is also very normal, ah, by the way, my mother never takes us back to my grandparents' home, but when my grandfather comes, she always treats him warmly, and my grandfather is also very kind to me Grandmother I haven't seen... ”
”So you don't have to worry. Do you still have the brooch I gave you?”
”Certainly, sir.”
As he spoke, Francis took out the brooch.
”It seems to be a very valuable thing...”
”Yes, it's for you.”
”Why?”
”It has the power to expel evil. You can rest assured if you leave it by your side.”
”Well, I'm sorry...”Although he said sorry, Francis took the brooch back into his pocket, and his expression seemed relaxed.
”But, sir, I still want to continue the investigation, that What are those monsters? I'm afraid. I always think that if I let go like this, something more terrible will happen
”It doesn't matter. It's on me. I'll find someone to investigate.”
”Well? Mr. Fan Haixin, don't you plan to investigate by yourself? ”
”I'm not good at investigating this mess.”
Fang Zheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He had no interest in being Conan.
”I'll entrust it to professionals. Don't worry. I'll let you know if there's any results.”
”Good...” Well, this is my phone. Please contact me if you find anything
”No problem.”
”As for fees...”
”Let's talk about it then. We're acquaintances. We won't pit you.”
You don't have much money. You might as well go to the Federal Reserve.
After he entrusted the matter to founder, Francis seemed to relax a lot, and soon left. As for the box he brought with him, it was his great grandmother's jewelry. Because he felt so disgusted that he didn't want to stay with him, he simply gave it to founder for safekeeping, and then left.
”That's interesting.”
After Francis left, Fang Zheng opened the box, took out the contents and carefully examined them. In this small box, there are four pieces of jewelry, namely, bracelets, earrings, brooches and rings. As Francis said, each piece is a beautifully carved work of art, and as Francis said, each piece is full of twisted malice.
The twisted ring looks like the tentacles of Octopus entangled together, and the gem looks like vivid eyes Well, it's a nightmare.
”How do you feel?”
Out of curiosity, Fang Zheng inquired about nimfu and ASAKURA Liangzi, but
”Very strange jewelry.”
”It looks beautiful.”
They stare at the gesture carefully, but do not give a particularly low evaluation.
”Don't you think something's wrong or disgusting?”
“………………”
They looked at each other and then shook their heads.
”I'm sorry, but in my opinion, it's just ordinary jewelry, master.”
”Information entanglement is very stable. I don't feel anything abnormal, master.”
They responded in different ways.
Well Is it related to their race?
After all, whether it's an omnipotent angel or a humanoid interface, in the final analysis, it's a kind of machine For them, this may be the same as the image information obtained by the computer through the camera, which itself will not produce any special feeling.
