Chapter 628

At first glance, this man looked normal, but if you look closely, you will find that the fish scales below his neck and his face that is beginning to collapse have begun to transform into a deep diver.

There is only one customer on the bar and table of the tavern.

He is a sloppy fisherman with a full beard, dirty and sunburned, and his age is hard to tell.

There is a big wine glass on his table. When Lin came in, he opened his eyes a little and took a look, then smacked his lips and turned his head away to continue dozing.

The tavern owner looked at Lin and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Stranger? Are you an adult... Forget it, I don't have any rules here. Do you want a drink or a place to stay?"

"Do you provide accommodation?" Lin asked casually.

"Of course, and I am the only one in this town that provides accommodation for travelers."

Rin put the briefcase on the bar and unzipped it.

"How much is the accommodation fee?"

"10 dollars a day."

Seeing that Lin was a little hesitant, the boss hurriedly said: "This is already very cheap, and we also provide lunch and dinner. The whole town knows that I, M, do business with fair prices."

Rin didn't think it was expensive, but he had no idea about the prices here, and he didn't even know the age level.

He had checked the briefcase before. In addition to the documents, there was also an investigation report, and the money was less than fifty dollars, which was obviously not enough for a few days.

In other words, he had to complete the investigation task as soon as possible.

"Open a room for two days for me first."

"Okay, the first room upstairs is it."

Rin handed him a bill, took the room key, and didn't rush up, but sat at the bar.

Mr. M wiped the cup while saying: "When there are more guests later, the kitchen will start cooking, and we can catch up with dinner. By the way, what are you doing here, little guy, alone?"

Rin would naturally not reveal his identity so early.

Anyway, no one would think he was a company employee with his appearance.

So he made up an excuse: "My ancestors came from here. I came here to trace my roots. My parents didn't agree, so I came here quietly to take a look."

M smiled meaningfully: "We are quite predestined. Our family origins all come from here."

Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pretended to be friendly and chatted with the other party.

Seeing that he was young, the other party didn't have too much guard and talked a lot.

In his story, when he was in poverty, he received a letter from a relative about inheritance.

According to blood relationship, the letter writer was his cousin, and their grandfathers were brothers.

He had no descendants, so according to the will, he happened to inherit the estate.

At that time, he was desperate. After receiving the letter, he came here with his wife as if he had grabbed the last straw.

Later, he found that there was no country manor or fishery boss as he imagined, but only such a tavern and a small inheritance.

But he could make a living anyway, so he settled here.

Lin didn't know how much truth there was in his words, so she could only pretend to be a fledgling child and agreed with great interest.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened in the kitchen.

Then, a beautiful woman in her twenties came out wearing an apron.

"Honey, the ingredients are ready. Are there any guests coming?"

As she spoke, her eyes fell on Lin, and her eyes suddenly lit up, staring at him for a long time.

M's face suddenly became gloomy, and he coughed, which brought his wife back to his senses.

"Oh, it's a young man from outside. I really hope that my future children can be like him."

Hearing her say this, M's expression eased a little.

"Guest, this is my wife Fanny, who is also the cook here."

Wife?

Lin was surprised, but he remained calm on the surface.

If I remember correctly, his task was to investigate the cause of death of Mr. M's wife.

But the dead wife's name was S, not Fanny.

In this case, she should be a remarried woman.

Lin nodded slightly to Fanny and said, "Meet the Madam."

"Hey? Madam or something... You are so polite, guest."

She wanted to say something else, but was sent away by M in a bad tone.

As luck would have it, guests came in one after another at this time.

Lin was not used to being stared at by these Innsmouth people with dead fish eyes. She apologized and went upstairs to her room.

The room was the style of a motel room in the 1960s, but it was much cleaner than a motel.

Lin waited quietly in the room, ready to investigate further when it was late at night.

There happened to be some newspapers stored in the drawer, and Lin took them out to read to pass the time.

After waiting for more than three hours, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it turned out that Fanny was carrying a plate and personally delivering the meal to him.

Chapter 183: Men and women playing the Three Kingdoms in the middle of the night?

"Guest, this is your dinner, a grilled fish and pie, I hope it suits your appetite."

Fanny said with a smile and put the plate on the table.

"If you need anything or want to inquire, you can come to me, but you have to wait until there is no one around. My husband has a bad temper and is very jealous."

"Yes, thank you."

At this time, Lin was alone and did not look like a domineering young man at all.

No matter how you look at her, she is still in school, well-behaved and obedient.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Just call me Phoenix."

"The name sounds cute, I..."

She wanted to say something else, but suddenly heard shouting downstairs.

"Sorry, I have to take care of the guests first, so I'll leave first."

Fanny stuck out her tongue, ran to the door with her skirt in hand, and suddenly turned around and blinked at Lin, revealing a bright smile.

"..."

After she left, Lin stopped managing her expression, and immediately fell into a p face and said "Puh".

"Little master, I smell the smell of a bitch. There are no heroes and healers here. You'd better be careful and don't be fooled by the stinky women outside."

The voice of the system sounded in her mind, and Lin immediately looked disgusted.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't always think that every woman who appears is like having bad intentions towards me."

"Besides, I'm not a rookie, I can't just approach a woman when I see her!"

Lin said, staring at the plate for a while, hesitating for a moment but still didn't eat it.

In this strange place where you are unfamiliar with the place and it is related to Dagon, it is better to be careful.

It's a pity that the props were confiscated, and it's live broadcasting, so I can't take things out directly from the mall. I will be hungry these days. "

Oh no, there are also hunger and water settings, there is no way to get through it.

Rin didn't expect that one day, he would still be entangled in such a choice.

Sure enough, he was ruined by the noble life and the system. It's time to get out of the comfort zone...

What the hell, you can't let yourself run out of the main line of the town to play wilderness survival, right?

"I think you are too worried, little master, your physique is not as weak as the beginning, you have the blood of the phoenix, how can you be easily poisoned or poisoned. "

Lin scratched his face, feeling that there was nothing wrong with what Qiuqiu said.

He had forgotten that his bloodline had not been taken away by the god of death. As the awakening of his bloodline became higher and higher, his resistance became stronger and stronger.

He didn't need to go to the toilet like Fei Miao and the others, so why should he be afraid of these?

Thinking of this, he suddenly had confidence, and enjoyed his dinner elegantly, and even made himself a cup of tea after the meal.

After eating and drinking, Lin lazily leaned on the chair and read the newspaper while chatting with Qiuqiu.

It's lonely to be alone, and it's not bad to catch a system girl to accompany you.

The newspaper is not local, but Essex County, which nominally manages the town of Innsmouth.

There are not many reports about Innsmouth, and the dates are intermittent.

When he was chatting with M, the current year of this world was 1953. Years, and the latest issue of the newspaper was more than a year ago.

It seems that this place has been disconnected from the outside world for a long time.

The reports about Innsmouth in the newspaper can also show some local conditions.

Except for the time difference, the background is similar to that of the famous novel.

At first, the shipbuilding and fishing industries were the main industries here, but later, because they could not keep up with the industrial revolution and the shipbuilding technology was backward, the shipbuilding industry soon declined.

This place is remote and can only be dominated by fishing.

After comparing the story plot with Qiuqiu, the information that can be confirmed is.

The local residents and the deep divers have formed the "Dagon" cult.

Dagon is an old ruler who lives on the seabed, and the deep divers are one of its followers.

The Dagon cult offers human sacrifices in exchange for the prosperity of the fishing industry and gold .

But now it seems that they live in poverty, probably because the "rewards" they can get are getting less and less, and they have reached the end.

Rin was a little sleepy, and thinking of his energy bar and mood bar, he had to take a nap.

Before going to bed, he specifically asked Qiuqiu to watch the time and wake him up after three or four hours, or when there was any danger.

System Ji, who usually likes to sleep, was very active at this time and agreed immediately.

The night gradually deepened, and there was no noise in the pub downstairs.

People here don't seem to like nightlife, and they won't drink too much in the pub.

It's not even 12 o'clock yet, and the pub and the whole town are in a dead silence.

The pub has closed for a long time, and the couple has already packed up the store and went upstairs.

At this time, Qiuqiu has already called Rin up, Then he went to sleep again.

Rin stretched, went into the bathroom to wash his face, looked at his status bar through the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound from the window at the door.

Rin was startled and quickly stuck to the bathroom door frame and looked in the direction of the window.

With the help of the moonlight, you can see a sloppy fisherman knocking on his window.

Rin walked over, and before he could ask a question, the other party took out another certificate.

Rin was a little surprised. He looked carefully at the black and white photo on the certificate, compared it, and opened the window to let him in.

This guy was holding the work permit of the insurance company's claims adjuster.

In other words, this guy called claims adjuster G was his colleague at work.

"Are you the new claims adjuster sent by the company?"

The other party asked back, with a firm tone.
