Chapter 130 Chapter 130
A small town in Sifan Country in the western continent.
From the day the strange thing happened, the sky over this place was covered with dark clouds, and there was no clear sky for three whole days.
It might be normal to have cloudy days for several days in a row, but what if the dark clouds in the sky never change? There is a cloud layer in the western sky that looks like a vortex, and it has not changed for three consecutive days. It seems to be frozen in the sky, not moving at all.
If people were not allowed to enter and leave the town freely, they would think they were drawn into a strange place.
Having watched so many weird live broadcasts, we all know that the biggest feature of the weird domain is that it is a completely isolated space.
There is no isolation here.
This town is very remote and there are not many rich people. Most people are farmers, so they will not move away unless there are special circumstances.
Even if my heart starts to feel uneasy day by day.
The mayor had also called to report the incident, and the country of Sri Lanka had also established a police department specifically to deal with strange incidents. Those people came over and took a careful look, but found nothing.
Nothing strange happened, no strange shadows were seen, the only unusual thing that could be observed was the unchanging dark clouds in the sky.
This dark cloud only covered the town and the surrounding land. You only need to drive for half an hour to leave the dark cloud, come to the clear sky, and feel the cool breeze.
The mayor also said that he hoped that the people above him would pay more attention to this matter, and that perhaps there was something strange hiding in the sky, and he hoped that the meteorological department would investigate more. However, such cross-departmental matters were very difficult to handle, and anyway, no one died, so the police department of Sifan country just let the matter go.
In the early days when monsters descended in large numbers, there were monsters of all sizes everywhere. The Sifan Kingdom was not as lucky as the Silver Kingdom. When there were powerful monsters killing people, Utor would appear.
Three days later, the residents of the town began to get used to the clouds in the sky. Their original worries about strange things gradually turned into worries about the harvest of the garden.
Sifan is one of the origins of red wine. Many world-famous wines come from this country. It has the most and best vineyards in the world. The main economic lifeline of this town is also the vineyards here.
Insufficient sunlight means that the quality of the grapes will be greatly reduced.
If the sky remains cloudy, the grapes may not even produce fruit.
This year's grapes have begun to be harvested, so there is no major impact at the moment, but if things continue like this, the entire town will be affected.
"Good morning, Gerard." A tall woman with long dark brown hair came over with a basket in her hand. "I have some bread at home. Would you like some?"
"If there are croissants." Gerard sat in a chair and looked at the grape racks in front of him that had been picked.
Gerard is a very handsome white-skinned young man with golden brown hair. He is only 19 years old this year. Although he is still in college, he has already started to help his family a long time ago and plans to take over the family vineyard in the future. His dream is to produce and brew his own wine and own his own winery in the future.
This dream has not even started yet, but it is about to be thwarted by the dark clouds overhead.
Anaïs shrugged, took a croissant from the basket, and handed it to Gerard, her childhood friend. “Well, even if you stare at it for a long time, the dark clouds above your head will not dissipate, and the grapevines will not wither immediately.”
Gerard took the bread and took a bite, frowning: "Butter?"
"My aunt came over yesterday. She is from India and has a different taste from us. She likes croissants with cream," Anaïs said. "We made a lot of croissants at home. There was so much cream that we couldn't finish them all."
Gerard: "Silver Kingdom? I heard that there is Ural there to help solve strange problems?"
"I don't know if this cloud appeared because of the weirdness or because of the weather changes caused by the weirdness." Anaïs looked at the sky. "Gerard, if you want to move away, where do you want to go?"
"I'm not going anywhere. I like this place." Gerard said with a firm look in his eyes, "I want to live here forever."
Anaïs smiled, her tone a little sad. "But if the dark clouds don't disperse, we won't be able to grow grapes here. If the situation is still the same in a month, we will move away, taking the grape vines with us, and live somewhere else."
Gerard didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and frowned slightly.
"I'm going back." Anaïs stood up and said, "It's time to go home. I have to prepare lunch for noon today. It's not enough to just eat croissants, they have to be buttered. If I'm cooking alone, I have to prepare it early." After saying that, she stretched her waist.
"Alone?" Gerard turned around in confusion, "Where's your sister? Won't she help you?"
"What sister?" Anaïs looked at Gerard with genuine confusion on her face. "Where is my sister?"
After saying that, he glanced at his watch and said, "Oh no, it's time now. I'm leaving now."
"Wait..." Gérard stood up, but Anaïs had already run away.
"What is this guy talking about..." Gerard shook his head, "Isn't her sister called Hill... Hey? Hill, what's her name?"
Gerard felt his memory was a little fuzzy. He tried hard to recall the name of Anaïs's sister, but he couldn't remember what her sister's name should be.
I only vaguely remember that she was a 14-year-old girl who went to a nearby middle school. She had the same dark brown hair as Anais, but her eyes were lighter in color and her facial features were more childish. She was a very opinionated girl who was more diligent in doing housework than her sister Anais. There were even days when this girl prepared breakfast on her own.
Anaïs once said with a smile that with such a sister around, it doesn't matter if she doesn't find a boyfriend in the future.
Then my sister rolled her eyes at me.
Yes, there is such a sister.
So why did Anaïs say she didn't have a sister? Was she joking? No, Anaïs didn't like jokes, especially not jokes like this.
Did she quarrel with her sister? That's not right. Anais is very broad-minded and rarely argues with others. She has a very good relationship with her sister and I have never seen her quarrel with her sister.
Anaïs's sister, dark brown hair, height...how tall?
What kind of clothes do you wear on a daily basis? What is your usual hairstyle?
I forgot everything.
How long had it been since he last saw Anais's sister? It seemed that he hadn't seen her for the past two days, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
Clearly in his vague impression, the girl was a very lively person who never stayed at home.
This isn't right!
Gerard stood up suddenly and stared at the unchanging dark clouds in the sky.
There is something weird about this place! The dark clouds above my head remain unchanged, perhaps because of the weird influence.
The reason why nothing can be found and why people think no suspicious cases have occurred in this place is because those people have disappeared. They have not only disappeared from this town, but also disappeared from everyone’s memory!
Was there anyone else missing from the town besides Anaïs's sister? Was there someone else he knew or was close to who was missing? Yet he didn't notice, just staring at the clouds above his head?
"That's terrible." Gerard's face turned pale, and he turned and ran towards Anaïs's house.
He came to the white-painted door and knocked quickly.
A few minutes later Anaïs opened the door, looked at Gerard, who was panting, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You have a sister!" Gérard cried.
Anaïs: “What?”
"I remember her! Your sister, I can't remember her name, it's probably pronounced something like Hill." Gerard pushed Anaïs aside and walked into the house. "Your sister is very lively, 14 years old, and is in middle school. She has the same hair color as you, and she can cook. She cooks a lot of your family's meals."
Anaïs still looked confused: "What are you talking about? I am an only child."
Gerard ignored her and went straight up to the second floor.
"Hey, Gerard? What are you doing!" Anaïs chased after him.
Gérard and Anaïs had been playmates since childhood. He had visited this house many times when he was a child and remembered the layout of the house very clearly.
Anaïs's room is on the second floor, the first room on the right after going upstairs. The room next to it is her sister's room.
Gérard had not been to Anaïs's bedroom since he started high school.
He completely ignored the door with Anaïs' name on it and walked to the second door. There were traces of something being peeled off on the door. This should be the door with Anaïs' sister's name on it.
Gerard tried to open the door roughly, but it was locked tightly and there was no key.
"That's the storage room. It's full of junk," said Anaïs, who had come up. "And the door lock has been broken for a long time. I haven't fixed it yet."
"Why don't you fix it? You're not the kind of person who would just leave something broken and not do anything about it," Gerard asked, still moving his hands to open the door.
"This..." Anaïs was stumped by the question. Normally, she didn't find it strange, but when Gerard asked her, she felt something was wrong.
Let alone the door lock, even if a light bulb is not bright enough, Anaïs will find it unpleasant to look at and replace it. Not to mention the door lock of a room that cannot be opened.
Gérard gave up trying to unlock the door and chose to break it down.
This time Anaïs did not stop him. She also wanted to see if this room, where she stored useless junk in her memory, was really filled with junk.
After several kicks, the door was opened with a bang, and the scene inside was seen by Gérard and Anaïs. Gérard showed an expression of astonishment, while Anaïs covered her mouth in fear.
The room was not a storage room at all, but a little girl's bedroom.
Pink wallpaper, a small wooden bed, an exquisite desk and chair, and on the desk there is a photo of two sisters.
The girl with a confused smile in my memory finally became clear.
Her name is Sylvia, she is 14 years old, with a dark brown neat ponytail, she likes to wear a rabbit hairpin on her bangs, and she also likes rabbit dolls. But her personality has nothing to do with rabbits, she likes to cook and fight, because she has learned some fighting skills, she often helps the weak and thinks she is a little hero. If anyone in this town needs help, just call Sylvia and she will come at your call.
She was very popular in the whole town, especially the elderly people in the town. When they saw Sylvia, they would invite her to sit in their yard, have a cup of tea and have some snacks.
But Sylvia, who was loved by everyone in the town, had not appeared in public for at least two days, but no one noticed her disappearance.
