The deep fog seemed to have no boundaries.

Fang Zheng and Nymph walked through it like this, but they didn't encounter anything at all. Fang Zheng even found his lost contact with Doraemon, which was not damaged, but simply unusable. Looking around, everything seemed normal, not like it had been bombarded by the Recombiner and the First Flame.

Of course, it is more likely that they recovered in the shortest time possible?

"Nymph, did you find anything?"

"I'm sorry, Master. I can't find anything. This seems to be just pure fog... but my search cannot penetrate it."

"Well, let's see the situation."

Hearing Nymph's answer, Fang Zheng frowned, glanced around, and continued walking forward.

Could it be that I have run to Silent Hill?

At this moment, Fang Zheng discovered that Nymph suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Wu... Sorry, Master, please wait a moment."

As she spoke, Nymph frowned. Then Fang Zheng saw her deep blue eyes shrink automatically and then readjust. After a moment, Nymph's expression returned to normal.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Master."

"I don't care. What's the problem?"

"Yes, the information feedback from this place is quite special. I just changed my receiving signal and re-adjusted it with the information output of this area. Now there is no problem."

"Really? That's good..."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he was suddenly stunned.

"Wait, what do you mean by the information feedback from this place is special?"

"The input value is different from the outside world. Wait a minute."

As the little angel spoke, he stretched out his hand. Soon, Fang Zheng saw a small white square appear between the little angel's hands. Then the little angel held up the square in his hand and handed it to Fang Zheng.

"Please use it, Master."

"Um."

Fang Zheng naturally trusted the little angel completely. He took the cube from the little angel's hand and squeezed it hard. Then the white cube immediately broke into pieces and turned into tiny particles of light that merged into Fang Zheng's body. At the same time, Fang Zheng finally heard a sound similar to the whistling wind in the distance - you know, he had never heard this sound before.

"Did you hear that?"

"Of course, Master, I heard it too."

The two looked at each other, then quickened their pace and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

As the two of them continued to go deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. The thick fog gradually began to thin out, and they could see a dilapidated dirt road in front of them. It seemed that few people were walking on it. After walking along this road for about half an hour, the two of them finally broke through the fog and appeared under the sun again.

All he saw under the sun was a barren field, and there didn't seem to be any human habitation around. Fang Zheng turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a dark and dilapidated railway tunnel behind him, with no trace of white fog at all.

So, this is also some kind of barrier? According to Nymph, the only way to get in is to change the receiving mode?

This is not surprising. Another reason why Fang Zheng was willing to let Nymph come along is that the little angel is now a demigod. Although her personal attack power is still as weak as five, in terms of information manipulation, the little angel is already an extraordinary demigod. She can even be said to be at the level of a god's messenger and can use divine power.

So it was not unexpected that she could detect the problem from the information level and solve the problem. According to Nymph, the previous victims were obviously unable to detect the problem like Nymph and himself, so they got lost... But even so, it shouldn't have turned out like that, right?

So what secrets does this place hide?

“Beep…!”

At this moment, a voice sounded from the foot of the mountain in the distance. The two looked over there and saw a broken van that looked very old and almost scrapped, honking towards them.

Judging from the appearance of this car, it seems to be from the early 20th century...

Seeing this, Fang Zheng frowned and winked at Nymph beside him. The little angel nodded, and the next moment she activated the invisible form and disappeared into the air. Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and soon, with a flash of fire passing through his body, the next moment Fang Zheng turned into a character wearing a black windbreaker, looking like a traveler. Then Fang Zheng gave a thumbs up to the car coming over there, and soon, the car stopped.

“Hey, I’m a traveler.”

Fang Zheng spread his hands to show the other party that he had no ill intentions.

"As you can see, my luggage was stolen by a damn thief. Now I just want to go somewhere to have a good rest. I wonder if you can let me get in the car?"

The car did not respond. After a while, the door creaked and opened with a "bang" like the last breath of a dying person. Fang Zheng nodded and got out of the shabby public bus.

There was only one passenger in the entire bus, a young foreign man with brown hair and blue eyes. Of course, from everything he saw, Fang Zheng knew that he had traveled through time again without realizing it, but the system had not issued any tasks to him so far. Moreover, unlike the other times, this time Fang Zheng did not even feel like he had traveled through time...

"Ah, sir, hello."

The young man was obviously bored staying alone, so when Fang Zheng came up, he immediately came over to chat with him. Fang Zheng also disguised his personality, saying that he was an unlucky backpacker whose luggage was stolen, and the young man also revealed his identity to Fang Zheng.

The young man was obviously very excited to meet Fang Zheng. After all, he had been traveling alone all the way, and Fang Zheng's clothes made him look like a decent person, so the young man quickly became familiar with Fang Zheng.

From the young man, Fangzheng learned that his name was Francis, a very common name with no special features. This trip was actually a budget trip, as the fashionable words later on would say. His destination was Arkham, which was his mother's hometown, and he planned to see the local customs and practices along the way - of course, the high price of train tickets was also one of the reasons why he had to choose this old and shabby bus.

Not only that, Fang Zheng also figured out that the time in this world should be around the 1930s, and it should obviously be the Earth of a certain timeline. However... if this was a time travel, why are there no tasks or prompts until now?

Not to mention that this time there was no sign of "travel" at all, and it was not like before... Could it be that the system has changed?

Or is there some secret hidden here?

As the two were talking, the bus started to go down the mountain, and soon, a dilapidated town appeared in front of Fang Zheng and Francis.

It looked like it was a prosperous town in the past, but perhaps due to years of disrepair, most of the houses here have almost collapsed, and only one building that looks like a factory is still intact. The harbor also seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and the dock has almost completely collapsed. To be honest, just looking at the appearance, it is not surprising that this place has been almost completely abandoned.

Not only that, all the windows of the houses along the way were sealed tightly, and the courtyards looked unkempt and full of garbage. Some listless people were working in the fields, while a group of children who looked equally dirty, as if they had run away from the slums of Africa, were rolling around and playing among the garbage.

The stinky fishy smell blew in from the broken window, making people feel a little uneasy. Although it was normal to have such a smell in a fishing port by the sea, even Fang Zheng could feel the unpleasant smell hidden in the fishy smell.

It seems like there is something hidden in it.

Even the young man named Francis seemed a little uneasy at this moment. Fang Zheng could see that he also noticed the weirdness of this place, and Fang Zheng believed that he must have regretted what he had done.

Sure enough, after getting off the car, Francis immediately made a request to Fang Zheng.

"Dear sir, from your conversation I can tell that you are a decent person. How about this, if you don't mind, can you stay with me in this hotel? To be honest, on a journey like this, sometimes it is more convenient to travel with a companion, isn't it?"

"Of course not."

Fang Zheng would naturally not refuse this. In that era, there was no electronic payment, and he could not fleece the FBI for the time being. It would be great if someone was willing to pay.

Francis breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fang Zheng's answer.

"That's great, sir. To be honest, I never thought this place would be so strange... Although I have heard rumors about Innsmouth from many people, I still find it hard to imagine after seeing it with my own eyes... It would be really uncomfortable to stay in a place like this alone."

“…”

Hearing this, the smile on Fang Zheng's face froze slightly.

"Sorry, what was the name of this place you just mentioned?"

"Innsmouth, sir."

Francis chuckled and took his luggage out of the car.

"To be honest, before this I just thought that the locals had some prejudices against the residents here. Now it seems that this place is really a bit weird, isn't it?"
