The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 242 The Art of Compromise

While the Van der Linde gang was racking their brains to rescue their companions, Li Ang was exploring the forest north of the ranch with the three sisters.

The three sisters got tired of playing with the animals in the ranch, and finally remembered the UFO they mentioned before, and pestered Li Ang to take them there.

Aqina stayed at the ranch because after these few days of experience, she realized that she might not like going out that much. She prefers to stay in a luxurious mansion, living a luxurious and comfortable life, and occasionally inspecting her property to supervise whether her subordinates are working hard.

Li Ang said that she was a spider queen who only stayed in her nest waiting for her prey to take the bait.

Aqina felt that this sentence was a mockery of her big breasts and big butt, so she held Li Ang in her arms and ravaged her.

The scenery in the forest was quite good, and Bella also hunted a fat and strong deer.

Unfortunately, there are no high-quality legendary animals in this area.

Since the three sisters had just learned how to ride horses, Li Ang deliberately slowed down and played while walking. He set off from the ranch at noon and arrived at his destination in the evening.

The place where the UFO can be seen is a cabin in the forest at the foot of the mountain, which is named 'Hani's Holy Land' on the map.

Next to the house is a small pool. The water is clear and there are many small fish in it.

The wooden hut has been abandoned for many years. The doors and windows are in decay, most of the slatted roof has fallen off, and only a few wooden beams are left struggling to support it.

There were two broken wooden barrels in front of the door, and an old carriage that had lost its wheels not far away.

Li Ang knew what was in the hut, so he had no intention of going in. Just like last time, he let the three sisters explore on their own while he came to the waterhole to deal with the deer.

When Bella saw her lover being so casual, she knew there would be no danger inside, so she happily walked in with her sisters.

As a result, the expected aliens did not appear, let alone any UFO.

The most numerous things in the wooden house were corpses that had turned into bones. It was roughly estimated that there were at least a dozen corpses.

Most of them lay flat on the bed peacefully, without any signs of struggle before death.

There was only one corpse in a sitting position, wearing a cloak, and the table in front of it was filled with strange bottles and jars.

Burnt candles could be seen everywhere in the room, with a thick layer of wax condensing around them.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was some kind of religious gathering, and with so many corpses there, it was definitely a cult.

The outside wind kept pushing in through the gaps in the wooden boards, like the twisted howl of a cultist before death, making the scene in front of him even more bizarre.

But it's just weird, the three sisters will not be frightened by these things.

In addition to being brave, don't forget that they were once members of Miranda's church. Corpses and other things are just too childish.

However, the way these people died was indeed unique, which aroused the three sisters' strong interest in exploring.

So they started looking for something useful.

Due to the passage of time, most of the items in the house have lost their original value, become rotten, or become tattered.

Just when the three sisters thought they had been deceived by Li Ang, the attentive second lady found a stained and yellowed piece of letter paper under the pile of bottles and cans.

There is a passage printed on it, which roughly means:

[At the second hour of the half-moon, the time-traveling galaxy voyager, the great savior, will come here.

At this time, those who believe in him can abandon their cumbersome body and go to the realm of bliss.

He lived a carefree life there until 2000 AD, then returned to Earth and welcomed the new God-chosen person at the top of Shan En Mountain. ]

Through this sermon that pretends to be a ghost, the cause of death of the skeleton in the wooden house is basically clear.

They voluntarily sacrificed their lives in the hope that time travelers, also known as aliens, would take their souls into the so-called realm of bliss, so there was no trace of resistance at the scene.

The three sisters excitedly informed Li Ang of the discovered information and urged him to go to Shangen Mountain to have a look.

This kind of interlocking events is really fascinating, and they believe that there will definitely be new clues at the top of Shan En Mountain.

Li Ang was indifferent and even set up a tent and campfire in the open space next to the wooden house.

The three sisters were so anxious that they jumped on their feet, thumped their backs and squeezed their shoulders. Daniela did not hesitate to promise to warm the bed for him and Bella when they returned.

After struggling for a long time, Li Ang slowly explained the reason:

"The second hour under the half moon represents 12 o'clock at midnight."

There is no need to explain too much. The three sisters all understood what he meant. The aliens will come back tonight.

"I'm so stupid, why didn't I understand such a simple thing!"

Daniela looked annoyed, now she was really going to be her sister's dowry girl.

Bella said proudly: "You promised to warm our bed. You can't go back on it then!"

Cassandra looked sympathetically at her frustrated sister.

A simple camp was quickly set up, and the processed venison was put on the grill.

The four of them sat around the fire chatting, listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the forest, and waiting for midnight to fall.

The waiting process was excruciating, but fortunately the three sisters, who had no time to spare, didn't feel bored at all.

Li Ang actually didn't have much expectations for aliens.

Rockstar has a consistent problem. It likes to dig holes, but never fills them, leaving players to guess. It can be called Easter eggs, or it can be called the production staff's bad taste. No matter "Red Dead Redemption 2" is still the one that cannot be said Games are all like that.

Speaking of which, Big Dead and GTA seem to be in the same worldview.

At about 11:50 pm, Li Ang asked the three sisters to wait in the wooden house. Only when someone was in the house would the alien flying saucer appear at the invitation. He put on a black knife sheath and hid in the forest.

When the clock struck midnight, a disk suddenly appeared above the wooden house.

Even Li Ang didn't see clearly how he appeared.

Its shape is exactly the same as the flying saucers in many urban legends. It is silver and black, with a metallic luster on the surface. There is a bright and dazzling spotlight on the edge. With the manufacturing technology of 1899, it is impossible to make a light bulb with this brightness.

The bottom of the flying saucer released an aurora-like bright green light, completely covering the wooden house, as if it was scanning for something.

The three sisters were so excited that they waved their arms to greet the aliens.

It is unknown whether there were aliens in the flying saucer, but it must have sensed that the three sisters were not mortals, so it immediately stopped falling and began to climb rapidly.

How could Li Ang let it go? He bent down to accumulate strength and jumped up like a rocket.

By the time the three sisters ran out of the wooden house, they had already disappeared from the sky.

At the end of the field of vision, one could vaguely see a flaming meteor with a long tail chasing a green light spot.

"Will anything happen to my brother-in-law?"

"It should be fine. If we can't catch him, he will come back on his own. Let's wait here."

At the same time, outside Blackwater Town.

Arthur and several members of the Fan Gang are trying to rescue their companions.

After the bounty hunter caught Sean, he did not directly hand him over to the American officials or Pinkerton. Instead, he wanted to sell him for a price and use him as bait to seduce the other members of the Fan Gang.

Arthur and others took advantage of the situation and prepared to take action when the bounty hunter took Sean back to his camp. However, just as the action was about to begin, Charles, who was keenly aware, discovered something unusual in the night sky.

"Look, what is that!"

Trelawney looked up and explained nonchalantly: "It's just a meteor, a very common astronomical phenomenon. I met a knowledgeable astronomer in Saint Denis, and he said."

Javier interrupted: "But they seem to be heading for Sean."

The next second, on the river bank where Sean and the bounty hunter were, a terrifying red meteor fell from the sky with blazing fire.

The loud bang shook the eardrums, the sweeping smoke obscured the vision, mud and gravel flew, and the fire shot into the sky.

The shock wave visible to the naked eye spread in all directions, and the originally calm water suddenly boiled.

Several members of the Fan Gang managed to escape the aftermath by hiding under a boulder.

"Farke! Farke! Farke! Go and save people!"

Arthur cursed angrily and ran out of the hot hiding place. He knew that Sean would not survive such a terrible natural disaster, but he still retained the last glimmer of hope.

Charles and others could not persuade him, so they could only follow him to the disaster center.

The deeper you go, the more shocking the scene in front of you is. Solid rocks are melted, revealing a chilling crystal. Black soil is turned up from the depths of the ground. Trees and vegetation have long been turned into powder. Most of the river water has been evaporated and burned. The river bed was littered with charred dead fish.

The smell of burning sulfur filled the nostrils, sparks and ash drifting in the air.

Arthur felt like the soles of his shoes were melting.

Trelawney shouted anxiously behind him: "We can't stay here any longer. There's too much movement. Pinkerton from Blackwater Town will definitely send someone."

"Wait!" Charles looked through the billowing smoke: "There seems to be someone inside!"

Arthur, who was walking at the front, also saw it.

It was a tall man, wearing an extremely unique piece of blue scale armor, standing in the center of the crater, holding an unnamed round crystal in his hand, and his expression seemed a little confused.

The Irish boy they were trying to save was curled up at the man's feet and shivering.

As for those bounty hunters who didn't see it, they were probably burned to ashes.

Arthur lowered his center of gravity and slowly approached. When he saw the man's all-too-familiar face clearly, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Li Ang sensed several members of the Fan Gang very early. He put away the crystal and smiled at them.

"What a coincidence, Morgan and gentlemen, we meet again."

"Unfortunately, now is not a good time to reminisce about the past. I have something to do here, so I have to take a step forward. I'm sorry."

After saying that, the dark wings spread out, and then the whole person disappeared into the night sky.

The moonlight is hazy tonight, and the stars gather together like the Milky Way. It is destined to be a night that many people have trouble sleeping.

Trelawney still doesn't understand why his companions have such strange expressions.

Shouldn't you be as scared as he is?

Charles looked at the direction in which Li Ang was going, and explained quietly: "He is Mr. Li."

! ! ! ! !

Trelawney's body suddenly lost strength, and he had the urge to kneel down.

Charles and Javier seemed calm, but in fact they were not much better. Only Arthur still retained some sense.

"Take the Irish boy and let's go!"

A few minutes after the Fan Gang left, Blackwater Town's law enforcement forces arrived belatedly.

After a careful carpet search, the incident was determined to be an accidental meteor crash. Since it occurred in an inaccessible wilderness, no one else was harmed except a few unlucky bounty hunters and one prisoner.

However, many people in the market rumored that on the night of the incident, they saw a shooting star chasing a flying saucer.

On the other side, Li Ang returned to the cabin in the forest.

The three sisters, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly gathered around him and anxiously checked whether he was injured.

They had long forgotten about aliens and flying saucers.

"Stop touching me. You don't care about me. You just want to take advantage of me!" Li Ang helplessly avoided the six dishonest little hands.

The third lady was overjoyed, it was just fine that everything was fine.

Li Ang was a little worried because he couldn't catch the flying saucer.

He hadn't missed like this in a long time.

The alien who had never shown his face seemed to have mastered the space jump technology and was much faster than him.

But today is not without any gains.

In order to prevent him from continuing to chase, the alien took the initiative to give him a gift.

[From the game: "Final Fantasy VII: Remastered Edition"]

For the sake of the world beacon, Li Ang stopped pursuing them. He happened to find Arthur and others doing something in Blackwater Town and simply helped them speed up their progress.

"Let's go back to the ranch first."

Bella was a little unfinished, so she hugged him and said coquettishly: "Shall we go to Shan'en Mountain to have a look tomorrow?"

The eldest lady's words reminded Li Ang that he seemed to be able to 'blackmail' the aliens into something more.

You just have to grab one wool and pluck it hard. After all, there is no shop like this after passing this village.

It was already dawn when the four returned to the ranch. The three sisters did not have as much energy as Li Ang and had to catch up on their sleep.

Li Ang had no intention of taking a rest, so he simply called for the Nether Dog to report Han Sen's current situation.

He learned from the Nether Dog that Rhodes Town has become his territory. The original leaders, the Braithwaite family and the Gray family, were suppressed by force. Through bribery and other means, Hansen is now the legitimate mayor of Rhodes. .

His next target was Saint-Denis.

Controlling these two places is equivalent to controlling most of Lemoine State (the prototype of Louisiana), and everything will be much easier then.

It's just that as the largest city and port in the western region, Saint-Denis is definitely not feasible to conquer by force. Only indirect means can be used, similar to what Arasaka Company did to Night City.

Hansen also managed to get in touch with the railroad and oil tycoon Cornwall, but Cornwall asked to see his boss behind the scenes.

Li Ang considered whether to give this big capitalist some face.

Cornwall has a large area of ​​undeveloped land in the west, and it has several oil fields and minerals at hand. It doesn't hurt to meet them.

Finally, Li Ang informed Han Sen and sent people to visit the Indian reservation in the north and Annesburg in the south.

Anyone who knows a little bit about history will understand what an Indian reservation is for, and there are a large number of Chinese laborers near Annesburg.

　Yesterday I went to Dadar.com to collect information. I came back late. I will update normally tomorrow and I will make up for what I owe tomorrow.
