Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 235: Missing

Li Ang took off the small half of the intestine, and unexpectedly found that the end of the intestine seemed to be stuffed with something, it was a bulging solid.

Hanging over the cargo well with his feet splayed, he squeezed the thing out of the blighted intestines through the glove.

It's a pony puppet made of wood and cloth. The material is rough, but the workmanship is very careful.

Looking at the style, it seems to be a puppet toy for children.

"A puppet with a horse stuffed in its intestines? What's the situation?"

Li Ang muttered: "Avid pony lovers..."

There is insufficient information to make a judgment,

He put two old items into his inventory, and silently counted the four kinds of abnormal organs that had been collected.

"Heart, intestines, lungs, limbs."

Li Ang secretly said: "It has been completed in general, now only the kidneys, head, torso, and embryos are left."

He was about to grab the hemp rope and slide down, but found something carved on the stone bricks on the inner wall of the cargo well.

"Huh?"

Li Ang frowned, and through his gloves, he gently stroked the thick dust on the stone bricks.

On the surface of the stone brick, there is a line of writing cut with a sharp object such as a knife.

The handwriting is quite distorted and crooked. If you read it carefully, you can see that it is a line of English letters.

“Croatoan.”

Li Ang frowned as he read this line of English, grabbed the hemp rope and descended to the lowest utility room, saying hello to the three teammates.

At this time, the mason was asking Evil Wunian about hallucinations. When he saw Li Ang coming back, he nodded to him and continued to ask Evil Wunian:

"Did you ever see any hallucinations other than walls of flesh when you were attacked in the elevator shaft."

"Yes."

Wan Wu Nian nodded and said, "After I was teleported here, the first thing I saw was a normal stone wall, and then there were some very weird images in front of my eyes."

With a strange expression on the evil face, he began to tell.

It was a barren and dilapidated colonial village, the land in the village was cracked and charred, crops withered and died,

The villagers with Caucasian features looked numb, and the cloth they wore was more rags than clothing.

To make matters worse, many villagers had yellow-green pustules the size of steamed buns bulging on the surface of their bodies. The pustules were filled with pus and would sway back and forth when they moved.

Plague, starvation, death.

Desperate to numb expressions, covering the faces of every villager, they dragged their families out of the low bungalows and gathered in front of the village, a path leading to the dark jungle.

Dense fog filled the jungle, and a huge shadow with a human silhouette approached everyone and stayed in the fog.

The shadow seemed to say something, and the villagers' faces flashed a look of struggle. After a moment of hesitation, they silently walked into the thick fog and disappeared into the forest with the shadow.

A little girl in the arms of her mother, holding a pony puppet,

She blinked her pale green eyes and looked out of the woodland, the only villager who did not follow the shadows into the forest.

It was a middle-aged man.

His body is also covered with pustules, and even his left eye is blocked by the pustules growing on his eyelid,

He was wearing what could be considered the cleanest and most tidy clothes. Judging from the style of the clothes and the Bible tightly clutched in his hand, he could be judged to be a priest in the village.

The little girl disappeared in the woods with her mother, the pony puppet in her hand accidentally fell, tumbling onto a mossy stone.

“…”

The cleric looked at the villagers who had deserted him, picked up a stone from the ground, and used the sharp surface of the stone to carve a line of English text on a tree on the edge of the woodland,

Then the clergyman, who was alone and covered in abscesses, limped into the village, holding a Bible.

"The illusion ends here."

Evil Wunian said: "Then, I saw the elevator shaft that was full of meat and was still shrinking."

The forest cat's brows furrowed deeply.

This is another hallucination, and judging from the description of the evil spirit, the time point of the collapse of the colony was even before Williams built the mansion.

The time span between the two is unknown at this time, and what is that huge shadow that lured the villagers into the woodland...

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, the mason's eyes lit up. He looked at Evil Wunian and asked earnestly, "Is the text written by that cleric a Croatoan?"

In order to avoid the evil spirits not remembering clearly, the mason also took out a paper cutter and carved this line of English letters on the wooden floor.

"Uh..." Evil Wunian looked at English and recalled, "It seems so."

"I see."

The mason let out a long sigh, stood up, and relaxed a lot from his tightly frowning brows, "Roanoke Island."

"Roanoke?" The forest cat raised an eyebrow, "So that's how it is."

Both of them understood something, but Evil Wunian was a little dazed, "What do you mean?"

"Roanoke Island ( ), is an island off the coast of North Carolina in the United States, located in the southern part of the Albemarle Bay."

Li Ang said: "This island exists on Earth in the real world, but from the current situation,

This scripted mission just borrows this background, not actually taking place in the real world. "

"That's right."

The mason nodded and explained to the evil no thoughts: "The hallucinations we all see are the past history of this scripted mission world.

The time you see colonial villagers disappearing actually happened in the late 1680s.

In 1585, British explorer John White traveled to Roanoke Island on the eastern side of the United States and drew a map of the island.

Two years later he returned to ~IndoMTL.com~ with a team of British immigrants to establish a colony. When he returned to England to replenish supplies, it was delayed until 1590 because of the war.

When he returned again, the colony had disappeared. More than 120 British colonists had completely disappeared. No one was alive or dead, no corpse was left. The only trace left was the English character, Croatoan, carved on a tree. "

Forest Cat went on to say: "This historical event actually happened. Over the past century, many scholars or idlers have studied the reasons for the disappearance of the colonists on Roanoke Island.

Some believe the island colonists were attacked by Native Americans, others believe they moved to American land themselves,

There are various theories, and no conclusion has been reached so far. This collective disappearance incident is also quite famous in the field of occultism, and it was also inspired by people and made into a TV series.

In short, it can be assumed for now that the event you see is the root cause of all events in this scripted mission.

It has to be figured out what that huge shadow is. "
