Chapter 1898: Containment? (Having a headache every day for what to eat)(1/2)
Even if I beat Fang Zheng to death, he would never have thought that he would create a golden legend, and it would actually be a crowbar?
Damn, what’s the use of this thing?!
It’s not like I don’t have weapons!
By the way, that extra-dimensional touch is useless! But...
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes. He opened the system again, pulled out the previous title of [Evil God Destroyer] and scanned it. He always felt that there seemed to be some kind of meaning hidden in the description of this title, but so far, Fang Zheng
It’s not completely understood yet…
"Dong dong dong."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Fang Zheng frowned and then turned off the system prompt. At the same time, Asakura Ryoko also came to the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, and Mr. Francis is here too."
Soon, Detective Valentine's voice came from outside, and Fang Zheng nodded. Seeing his signal, Asakura Ryoko opened the door, and then the two of them walked into the room.
"Okay, sit down. Is there anything else?"
Fang Zheng leaned on the sofa and looked at the two people with a smile. The two looked at each other, and then Francis spoke bravely first.
"That... Mr. Van Helsing, we are here to think about that... we want to ask you..."
"Um?"
"It's about the things we saw before."
Compared to the hesitant Francis, Valentine obviously went straight to the point.
"You also know that we just went to see the unconscious crew members... In fact, they are already unconscious..."
"Oh, that's a pity. You can let them drink more mineral water to replenish their bodies."
Fang Zheng took out two more bottles of psychotherapy medicine from his arms - of course, I don't know how effective they are.
"I want to ask you... Mr. Van Helsing, what is that?"
However, Valentin did not answer Fang Zheng's words, but continued to stare at him.
"We were all sure that we were not dreaming or taking drugs. At that time, we did see a city rising from the bottom of the sea, and we heard a very scary cry, and...those monsters
………”
Speaking of this, Valentine himself turned pale.
"What are those...? Are they Atlanteans? A lost underwater civilization? Or aliens? What did you do? Why did those things suddenly disappear?"
"Detective Valentine, it seems that your job does not include investigating personal privacy, and I seem to have warned you not to investigate these things in depth."
"Even if you don't tell me, I've heard about it from Mr. Francis."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, and then looked at Francis, while Francis showed an awkward smile - How could he, a college student who has not graduated, be the opponent of a professional detective? Maybe the two of them would go out for a drink.
, Francis sold everything.
"Are those monsters threatening or even destroying humans?!"
After saying this, Valentine's expression became much more serious.
"We can report it to the government, and the government will organize an army...to wipe them out completely!"
The 1930s was a very "science fiction" era, but also a very "disaster" era.
During this period, humans had little knowledge of science, and because of this, various scientific fantasies emerged in endlessly, from expeditions to the universe to immortality. In people's eyes, there was almost nothing that science could not accomplish - okay
, although this is indeed the case.
So at that time, many people believed in the mysterious underwater ruins of Atlantis and the existence of aliens. For this reason, some dumbfounding things happened.
The most famous one is naturally the "War of the Worlds" incident. Founder later also watched the movie adapted from this book. To put it bluntly, Martians came to the earth on a three-legged octopus-shaped robot (eh? This design is very thoughtful and terrifying).
Launched an attack on humans, humans were retreating steadily, and even nearly perished. In the end, these Martians defeated humans, but were defeated by the cold virus, a story of complete failure.
The World War incident is a very famous event.
It was in the late 1930s that an American radio station compiled a radio drama based on the book "War of the Worlds" and designed it in the form of a news report to describe how the Martians invaded, how they killed people, and how they destroyed cities and people.
How to escape etc.
In order to put on a show, I also did a full set of interviews, including the death toll, the military's response, interviews with celebrities and experts, etc. Thinking about this radio station, I just wanted to do a spoof radio program.
However, things got serious.
Because this radio drama is so realistic, many listeners regard it as an ongoing event. Of course, listeners in those cities will only find it interesting. After all, they work and live in these cities and have not seen many of them.
An alien.
However, people in other places are different.
That was the 1930s! At that time, people mainly relied on phone calls and letters to communicate. Unlike now, you only need to shoot a video or simply broadcast a live broadcast, and the rumors will be self-defeating.
This broadcast spread like this, and eventually about 6 million people listened to the broadcast, of which 1.7 million people regarded it as a "happening" news report.
So now things got serious.
Those who believed the report called to inquire and were told that "there was no Martian invasion at all" (which is also a matter of course). Instead, those people believed that the government was deliberately covering up the truth. The fact must be that the Martians were invading them, and the government was trying to
To cover up the truth, I deliberately didn’t say it!
So people went to those cities one after another, causing various commotions. During this period, the US government also dispatched the police and the army to suppress it. In turn, those people once again believed that this was evidence of the invasion of Martians. Look, the government even sent out the army and the police to suppress it.
They’ve all been sent here, but they still say there are no Martians?!
The U.S. government at that time died unjustly.
Eventually, the "World War" incident evolved into a great commotion that spread across the United States. Because the end of the world was coming, some people even began to rob supplies and hide in the mountains, trying to avoid the pursuit of Martians. Some people were faced with the possible arrival of aliens.
In fact, he felt desperate and chose to commit suicide.
If a human life is lost, things will naturally become more serious.
Although the rumor was finally refuted, for the United States, the loss of refuting the rumor was not much less than that of an alien invasion.
Of course, this kind of thing has not happened in this world yet, but "War of the Worlds" has already been released, so it is probably only a matter of time before something happens, and then Fang Zheng will just have to watch the show.
And because of this, the concept of alien invasion is quite hot in this world right now. It is no wonder that Detective Valentine is focusing on this aspect.
What’s even more amazing is that he was right!
From a certain perspective, this is really an alien invasion!
"Government is of no use."
Fang Zheng peeled a nut and put it in his mouth, shrugging his shoulders.
"To be honest, in front of these monsters, the current human civilization is basically going to die, and it is useless for anyone to come."
"But, but, didn't you destroy them?"
"Yes, I can do it, but that doesn't mean others can do it, right?"
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Moreover, since you have already investigated, you should understand that these things are not good things. If you report it to the government, they may not completely eliminate it like me, but keep it for further investigation.
Research, and then what?”
After saying this, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, and then looked at Valentine. And when he heard this, Valentine suddenly remembered what he had discovered during his investigation... This really made him feel cold. Indeed, if it were anyone else who didn't know
People who are familiar with the situation may think that Fang Zheng's statement makes no sense, but Valentine has seen those things during his investigation... To be honest, as far as he is concerned, Valentine is also inclined to smash them and burn them.
suitable.
But what if the report goes up?
What would those officials think?
The detective himself has a side that despises authority and the government. Now that he heard what Fang Zheng said, Valentine immediately threw his original thoughts behind him, but he did not give up his thoughts.
"Mr. Van Helsing, let me put it bluntly, I hope we can cooperate."
"……………cooperate?"
"Yes, cooperation."
Valentine stared at Fang Zheng and nodded.
"I know you are a capable person, but you can't always handle everything by yourself. Like today... I don't know if it's an alien, an undersea man, or a devil or something. They
They will definitely appear again, and you are fighting them, right? If possible, I also want to contribute my share!"
"You should know that this is very dangerous. Just look at the woman named Wendy."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. Although Wendy had woken up after he eliminated Cthulhu, her spirit was very fragile now, and she even showed signs of neurosis. She had been sent back to her hometown to recuperate. Maybe she would be the next person.
He will spend half his life in neurasthenia.
But, in the Cthulhu Mythos, it’s not surprising that individuals go crazy, it’s considered routine practice.
If people seek death, they will die.
To be continued...
