31. Martial law at Warburg
When the sun just came out of the horizon the next day, Nansen and Skye had already walked out of the hotel.
"Nansen, we've come here. Can you know the exact location?" Skye asked.
Nansen had already told her before that the obelisk would need to be placed in a place similar to an altar, and then the crystals in the obelisk would burst out and sublimate into a fog.
During this process, Skye will go through a period of petrochemical process, but don't worry, it will not cause harm to her.
After the process is over, her supernatural powers will be completely awakened.
Although Nansen explained the process to her in detail, she did not say how to find the altar.
Because Nan Sen didn't understand this, in the original plot, those large organizations collected information, determined it, then cleared the site and excavated it.
It seems that the whole process is actually very simple. S.H.I.E.D. took out a high-speed cutting machine, and Hydra is even more awesome and directly puts on a plasma drill.
There is nothing to say, just one word, do it.
But when it is Nansen and Skye's turn, the situation is naturally different, and he does not have any mental scanning ability. It's simply a blind eye to find it, and the collection of information is not that easy.
The only thing Nansen is sure of is that the altar is in the ancient city of Yiren, and the ancient city of Yiren is actually deep under a corner of this Saint Juan city. Where is it? How deep is it?
Nansen doesn't understand these two questions now.
However, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and then he and Skye split into two groups, and Skye mainly went to the city library in San Juan.
With her American passport, the librarian expressed her enthusiasm for her.
It has been a day or two since Puerto Rico wants to become the 51st state in the United States. Most local public officials have given a great degree of enthusiasm for American citizens.
Skye's main purpose in the library is to find local supernatural stories. After all, the Ancient City of Inhuman can actually be regarded as an alien ruin, and its existence will inevitably leave some traces in history.
And such traces are likely not recognized by the government, but are recorded as supernatural stories.
Skye's main purpose is to inquire about these strange stories and find the real location of the city from clues. Although she may not understand some documents, she can translate them on her mobile phone.
Nansen's mission is very awesome, and he needs to focus on chatting with the elderly in the old city.
The main content of the chat is also the supernatural legends circulating among the people about this city.
The reason why Nansen divided the work like this is because he has a system and has no obstacles in language communication. This can be seen from the fact that he understood English directly and communicated in standard New York English as soon as he woke up.
The official languages here are English and Spanish, and most of them are descended from Spanish and Portuguese, so there is also Portuguese.
When Nansen was doing this division of labor, Skye seemed very complaining. After all, it was boring to soak in the library, so it was cool to know the history of the city on the streets.
But when Nansen spoke the eight languages directly in front of her, her eyes were filled with little stars.
Nansen's little vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment.
So the two of them divided the work, but what we have to admit is that the public security in this city is not very good.
When Nansen walked out of the old alley in front of an old lady's house, he had already educated eight mixed boys in succession.
Is the money from outsiders really that easy to grab?
If you have nothing to do, learn the twenty-four-word mantra more, why are you robbing with a gun?
At night, the two returned to the hotel to summarize the information, find useful categories from various complex legends, and then conduct on-site inspections.
Just two days passed, and finally the two focused their attention on one place.
That is Fort San Cestovar, because there are too many folk legends about this fort, and even books with various supernatural stories have many records.
What suddenly the light near the castle was shining brightly, and what was the roar of demons kept coming in the dark, and many people even disappeared near the castle.
The disappearing people include adults, elderly people and children, but during a chaotic period of history, the government did not take it seriously at all.
After history, the strategic value of the fort has faded, and only part of it is left as a ruin for people to visit.
Regarding the above legend, Nansen believed that the sudden bright light might be because the newly awakened alien failed to control his abilities.
The demon's roar may be caused by some aliens roaring in mutation, suffering from huge physical and mental pain.
Nansen remembers a situation where a strange man woke up and disappeared after he awakened his eyes.
As for the so-called disappearance of people, it is better to explain that it is not because they were killed by those strange people, or they may have walked into the ancient city and turned into a puppet.
Or a darker explanation is that the new generation of those aliens are deliberately kidnapped and used as human targets to train them.
But no matter what the situation is, at least it shows a message that the place they are looking for is there.
If there are really no direct clues when you arrive at the place, then dig with your head.
Because the most common situation Nansen knew from the old people was that the underside of the castle was actually hell.
The ancient castle built by the Spaniards back then was not just about strengthening their control over the Caribbean Sea and resisting foreign invasions, but more importantly, they wanted to suppress the underground hell and prevent the demons from turmoiling the world.
Although the rumors seem absurd, the goal has appeared.
When Nansen and Skye came there, they were surprised to find that the entire castle was actually martial law by the army and tourists were forbidden to watch.
They both looked at each other and saw a trace of unusualness in each other's eyes.
It's like one day when you go to a famous scenic spot and monument, and find that the scenic spot and monument is controlled by the army. No matter how you think about it, it feels incredible.
"Nansen, let's sneak in quietly." Skye said, her little face full of birds and birds trying.
Although she understands rationally that when she has real supernatural powers, her life will be completely different from before, but she is still looking forward to it in her heart, feeling that if she does this, she will go further away from her parents.
However, Nansen shook his head. It was still during the day. This kind of action was obviously more appropriate at night. Moreover, he felt a little abnormal here inexplicably.
