American comics: weaving myths, starting from urban legends

New Mexico.

In a small town about twenty kilometers away from where Thor fell.

The coming of night does not mean for the residents of small towns that they can put down their work and enjoy life. Decent jobs from 9 to 5 only exist for the elite in metropolitan cities.

This is an industrial town famous throughout the country for its coal mine reserves. A large number of residents in the town are absentee workers hired by capitalists, and working up to twelve hours a day is their basic working hours.

Within twenty-four hours a day.

No coal mine will stop operating.

Maybe many Eastern intellectuals say that in the United States, working overtime is illegal, and then everyone can afford to buy a house, drive a car, and live a decent life by washing dishes.

However.

In fact, for the people at the bottom of the United States, they have a harder time than people from any other country. Only the top elites truly enjoy the treatment in the United States.

What is illegal about working overtime?

You can’t even afford a lawyer.

How to fight against the capitalists?

Some people think that if they are not doing well in other countries, they will look forward to coming to the other side of the ocean, thinking that everything will become extremely beautiful when they come to the United States.

It can only be said that the final results for these people will probably not be very good.

Some people have not yet reached the United States on the other side of the ocean, and various parts have appeared in the Shanbei Parts Processing Factory. Others, even though they successfully arrived in the United States, can only become ghosts freezing to death under the overpass. on this land.

The lives of the Chinese at the bottom are precarious.

How about benefiting stowaways?

“Tom! You are always on the night shift!”

In the mine.

A big man with a dark face was greeting his companions.

“No way, Jerry, who made that damn vampire boss give the night shift workers an extra $5 an hour? I really need the extra $60 in income tonight.”

The miner called Tom also had a dark face. He waved the mining pick in his hand while speaking, and his tone was full of yearning for life.

“If I dig coal for another two years, I will be able to save enough for my daughter’s college living expenses. Then she will only need to borrow another twenty years of tuition to become a doctor.”

In the United States, the cost of going to college is often comparable to a mortgage in a big city in the East.

Many people’s children are going to college, and they are probably still paying off their own student loans. Among them, doctors, lawyers and other more respectable professional spenders The biggest sales

“You are such a good father.”

Jerry sincerely praised Tom. In the United States, there are really not many families that can fully afford the living expenses of their children, and student loans can only be repaid by the children themselves.

Especially professions such as doctors and lawyers can make people at the bottom To achieve a class jump, in addition to high tuition fees, various living expenses will definitely not be small.

In order to prevent easy class jumps, capitalists set a very high threshold for a family to be able to support a lawyer or a doctor. Easy. Under normal circumstances, American society is like a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix. The son of a mouse can only dig holes.

“I just hope she can get out of our small town and have a decent life.”Tom’s eyes were full of expectations for his daughter’s future.

“Hey, I also want to have the motivation to work hard, but unfortunately some of the boys in my family are not very successful. Now, I just hope that my son can kidnap your doctor daughter.”

Jerry had a look of hatred on his face. His idea had to be said to be a different approach,”Kidnapping your daughter will give my son a class jump.”

Good guy.

This plan is really loud.

“Screw you, my daughter has only seen a lot of your son. Besides being handsome, your son is also a troublemaker.”Tom just started laughing and scolding.

“Hahaha, at their age, being handsome is enough.”

Jerry also laughed, and several miners around him echoed. They are all people who have been here before, and of course they know what kind of people are more popular among young people.

The atmosphere in the mine is pretty good.

Everyone is working. There is endless chatter. The sound of mining is coming one after another. Compared with using modern machines to dig coal mines, even in the United States, labor is cheaper and more durable.

Those mining machines have to strike if they are slightly overloaded.

They are not like people. They are more expensive than machines. Much more durable

“Bang~”

Just as a group of miners were working overtime in full swing, suddenly, Tom’s mining pick directly dug into something hard, which was much harder than coal or stone.

“There isn’t much iron ore in our mine.”

As an old miner,

Tom immediately felt something was wrong.

He quickly adjusted the weak light on his helmet and pointed the light at the wall of the mine – only to see a book with a very strong metallic texture embedded in it. on the walls of the mine

“what?”

Tom was immediately confused.

He had heard about fossils being unearthed by mining, and he had also heard about people digging up gold nuggets, but he had never heard of a book being unearthed directly in the mine. Pass

“Or an… ancient book?”

Tom came closer again and looked more carefully. It was indeed a book. The outer cover of the book was some kind of metal that he couldn’t identify. Under the light of the helmet, the whole book shone green. The luster makes people feel a bit eerie and strange

“Maybe it’s an antique from ancient times!”

Tom’s heart moved slightly.

He also realized that he might have discovered some treasure.

“Bang-dang~ Bang-dang~ Bang-dang~ Bang-dang~” Tom quickly and excitedly approached the wall and carefully used a mining pick to pry the books on the wall.

If they were really antiques, his daughter might not have to apply for a college loan!

Thinking of this.

Tom became more cautious.

How should I put it?

It can only be said that Tom did not study enough.

In addition, there may be reasons why the American officials deliberately fooled the people.

It is difficult for low-level people like Tom to know that the history of the United States is only a short It only took a few hundred years. How could there be antiques left in such deep mines?

“Tom, what are you doing?”

Jerry saw Tom scratching something against the wall. He walked over curiously and said teasingly in a dirty tone.

“Could it be that your wife can’t satisfy you, so you hide in the mine and masturbate?”There was a tone in Jerry’s voice that every man would understand.

“Shhh~”

When Tom saw Jerry approaching, he was also frightened. He quickly peeked around. After finding that no one around him noticed them, he breathed a sigh of relief,”Keep your voice down, I found a Baby, help me dig it out and hide it”

“When the time came, we sold it for a big price, 50-50 between us two brothers.……”Because Tom was exposed to”good things” and Jerry was his childhood sweetheart, he quickly made the painful decision to part ways with her. How should I put it, it is really difficult for him to dig out the ancient metal books alone.

It is as if it is growing in the wall and is embedded very firmly.

“It will definitely sell for a lot of money.”

Tom’s expression gradually became a little obsessed. Even he didn’t seem to notice this – of course what the miner dug up was the”Necronomicon” dropped by Chu Mu.

The reason why it was dropped into this mine.

It was also because Chu Mu discovered that this place had the most dense population – Chu Mu could not see the detailed scene, and could only see the general terrain and the number of lives from the system map. Who would have thought that this was a mine? Well, a bunch of people appeared in the evening. Chu Mu thought it was a party.

“baby?”

Jerry also saw the books on the wall at this time. He was attracted by the cover of the”Necronomicon” at a glance. He only felt that strange patterns were constantly floating on the cover of the book.

Those patterns were made of many The things outlined by the lines had a strange green glow, which made Jerry feel a chill running down his spine.

It was obvious that his inspiration was slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

“This shouldn’t be some unknown thing.”Jerry had some bad feelings. His heart was ups and downs, and he thought of some legends he had heard when he was a child.

“How could there be such a thing in the mine? It might be a trap set by the Wendigo in those mines.”Jerry didn’t dare to help Tom pry the”Necronomicon”.

The so-called Wendigo is the most widely circulated rumor in the United States.

It is an extremely cunning creature with an IQ that is no different from that of humans. They Some live in the woods, and some live in mines.

No matter where they live, wendigos are said to feed on humans, and they will use various baits or hallucinations to confuse humans’ sanity.

“Whether a Wendigo is a Wendigo or not is just a statement made by the older generation to scare people.”Tom seemed to only have eyes for the”Necronomicon” on the wall of the mine.

He worked with tools and hands, and he didn’t even notice that his fingers were bleeding. Soon, with his efforts, he also read the”Necronomicon” The book was taken out

“Now, it only belongs to me!”

Tom hugged the”Necronomicon” with great joy.》

“Well, I really don’t think this is a good thing. Besides, how much is a book worth?”Jerry is quite familiar with the history of the United States because his parents are immigrants. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) A country that has been in existence for hundreds of years.

Even if there are any antiques, they are definitely not worth much.

Jerry That’s what he thought.

Jerry hadn’t found anything unusual about Tom holding the strange metal book and saying”it only belongs to me”. He felt that Tom should be saying, because The reason why he didn’t go up to help was that he didn’t plan to share half of the money after selling the book.

As for the dividends[]

Jerry, who thought metal books were worthless, didn’t care either.

“If you really think it can be sold for money, you’d better sell it as soon as possible. I don’t need any dividends, I just hope it doesn’t bring bad things to you.”

Jerry is also a little worried about his friends. The more he reads”The Necronomicon”, the more weird he feels. He is particularly worried that this book will bring trouble to his old friend’s family.

“It will be okay, it will definitely be okay, it is my treasure… Even if there is a Wendigo, it cannot take away my treasure.”

Tom muttered to himself.

Because he and Jerry were both ordinary people, they didn’t notice that when they were talking about the Wendigo, the lines on the cover of”The Necronomicon” flowed faster. A few minutes——【The mysterious energy is surging, and the creatures imagined in Jerry and Tom’s minds are outlined in the”Necronomicon”.

Invisible to ordinary people

《The power of the Necronomicon affects reality

“Roar!!”

The sudden roar resounded throughout the mine.

“what’s the situation! ?”

“Is the mine about to collapse?!”

Before all the miners had time to react, huge shadows rushed out from the depths of the mine. They were a group of ferocious humanoid creatures over two meters tall. Each shadow had lightning speed.

“｀Ah!!!”

“No!!!!”

Several miners who failed to dodge in time were thrown to the ground by the huge shadow. In the blink of an eye, their throats were torn out amidst painful roars.

“”Wow!”

Blood like a fountain surged out crazily.

At this moment, the remaining survivor miners turned on their powerful flashlights and saw clearly the figures lying on their companions. A humanoid creature with a green face that looks like a beast

“It’s a Wendigo!!! Damn it!! It’s a Wendigo!!!”

“How can it be!! How could there be such a monster!!”

“They are killing people! Damn it!! We are food in their eyes!!”

……

The miners all started shouting in panic.

Every miner’s face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Many people have heard legends about creatures like the Wendigo. only.

They never dreamed that one day they would actually encounter a living creature.

“There really is a Wendigo~”

Jerry was also dumbfounded.

They were just talking about this legendary creature, but they didn’t expect that some actually came out of the mine. Looking at those strong monsters, he could only feel that they were floating in his heart. out of intense fear

“Roar~~”

A group of Wendigos roared at the crowd.

Because they are beings”fabricated” from legends by the”Necronomicon”, their appearance is exactly the same as the descriptions of legends that the miners have heard since childhood.

“They killed my cousin!!”

“dad! My dad was killed by them!!”

A group of miners are also bloody people. After coming back to their senses, they looked at the several corpses on the ground. They all looked at the Wendigo not far away with angry eyes.

“There are many of us! And weapons! Don’t be afraid of them!”

There were miners who had their relatives killed and were about to fight the Wendigo with their mining picks. Many miners were also inspired and picked up their weapons and rushed towards the monsters in front of them.

Human beings.

With weapons, they will eventually rise. Have unlimited courage. Of course, there are also timid people like Jerry who dare not act. Facts have proved that timidity is not a bad thing sometimes.

“Puff~Puff~”

Wendigo is a creature in fantasy after all. A group of miners have heard how scary the Wendigo is (obviously Zhao), and now the Wendigo created by the”Necronomicon” has How powerful.

In legends, this creature is the embodiment of evil.

It has the body and strength of a black bear and the speed of lightning. Such rumors may not be a problem for superheroes, but they can only be regarded as But it was deadly enough for the strong miners.

A group of people rushed forward.

They were waving their weapons and had not yet come out with A.

With their speed and strength, a dozen Wendigos directly disemboweled several miners. , scenes like those in the anti-Japanese drama where people were torn apart by hands took place one after another.

The entire mine was covered with splashing human blood.

Blood splashed on Jerry’s face, and he even felt the warmth of the blood.

“No!! No!! These monsters are impossible to kill!! Jerry’s face was full of fear. He was just about to pull his hair away and escape.

However, when he turned around, he found that at some point, Tom was already running towards him with that weird book in his arms. Outside the mine, my good brother never thought of running away with him.

“Damn it!!!”

Jerry was furious.

But he didn’t care to scold Tom.

He and several other frightened miners also started to flee – unfortunately, their speed is obviously impossible to compare with the legendary monsters.

“ah!!!”

Even after trying his best,

Jerry and the few remaining miners fell down just as they were about to run out of the mine.

On the verge of death,

Jerry saw the Wendigos disappearing like clouds of smoke.

“What’s happening here! middle?”

Jerry couldn’t understand, but he also had a hunch that everything was related to that evil book! It was only after Tom dug up the book that the Wendigo appeared!!

“don’t want!!”

Jerry’s consciousness gradually dissipated.

At the end of his life, he only saw Tom stumbling around like a maniac under the night, holding the book that brought disaster and running towards his hometown in the small town.
