Boomtown!
A mining town located in Arizona. Compared with Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, and the world-famous Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, the prosperous town is nothing. It is so inconspicuous that it can be ignored.
The town is located in the desert, about a 2-hour drive from the nearest big city. Currently, there are more than 300 households in the town, with a total population of less than 1,000.
The loss of a large number of young people and the serious aging of the town's population are the superficial reasons for the town's depression. Digging deeper, it is the economic lifeline of the town that has problems.
Prosperity Town is a mining town with a history that only lasts a few decades. At first, there was only a mine. It evolved into a town because of the needs of the miners.
From the name of the town, we can know that there was a mining boom here for a period of time. There was no inexhaustible vein of minerals in the world, so the prosperity town naturally began to decline.
…
Russell rode his motorcycle around the town. Although the town has a small population, it covers a large area. If you were to walk on foot, it would take at least a whole day to visit the town.
He learned a lot about the town through the relocation advertisements posted on the roadside. He had very few memories of the 'Eight-Legged Monster' in his mind, and there was no way to talk about the background setting of the town. Now he needed to listen more and watch more. .
After circling the town and getting familiar with the terrain, Russell drove home following the house number.
The home address was clearly written on the driver's license book. Russell thought that his family background was average, but according to the house number, he found that his family situation was good. Not only was it good, but it was also very wealthy.
A three-story single-family villa with a large yard in front and a stylish garden with green trees.
Russell took out his driver's license book and confirmed that this was indeed his home, and then parked the motorcycle in the garage. He did not want to be shot by the owner with a gun for breaking into private territory.
His worries were doomed to be unnecessary. As he walked towards the three-story building, a small black and white French bulldog jumped out from the dog door and jumped around his feet.
"My dear dog, what's your name... Oh, I almost forgot, you are a real dog, not a sham system." Russell held Fa Dou in his arms, and the latter barked a few times and tried his best to reach out his neck to talk to him. close.
The door was unlocked, which was good news because Russell didn't bring the key, but it was also bad news because Russell had a legal identity but no memory and didn't know how to face the person who was about to show up.
"You brat, you actually came back and haven't seen anyone all day. Did you go out racing again?"
From a room that was probably the kitchen, an elderly woman walked out, wearing an apron and holding a cigarette in her mouth. The old woman has a fashionable look, her hair is permed and she wears makeup. Her lavender eye shadow shows that she does not accept old age, at least she is still young at heart.
Russell was a little confused. The old woman was white and he was yellow. How did fate arrange for them to become a family?
Could it be...
Is he a mixed race?
It doesn’t look like it!
Russell didn't know how to address the other person. He frowned and looked like he had a headache. He walked over and took the cigarette out of the old woman's mouth and put it out in the ashtray.
"At your age, it's better to smoke less, even if it's for your own sake."
With that said, Russell carried Fa Dou up to the second floor. According to common sense, his bedroom should be on the second floor.
The old woman was very dissatisfied and said to Russell's back: "You brat, you should call me Aunt Gladys!"
"Okay, Aunt Gladys!"
"It's time to eat, don't go upstairs yet."
“Save my share, I’ll eat it later.”
Listening to the response from the second floor, the old woman Gladys shook her head and said to herself: "The rebellious kid is really annoying. This kid is getting more and more rude!"
Russell searched the second floor but couldn't find his room. When he was at a loss, Fa Dou helped him a lot and barked at the ceiling. It turned out that his room was on the third floor, and he needed to pull down a ladder to go up to the attic.
The room was a bit messy, clothes that should be changed were scattered all over the floor, and there was a musty smell common in boys' dormitories in the air. The source was the smelly socks in the corner.
Russell opened the window to keep the air circulating in the room. He also cleaned up the room and threw the source of the poisonous gas into a garbage bag.
The attic of less than 20 square meters has a separate bathroom. The rest of the space is divided between bookcases, wardrobes, single beds, and computer desks, making it slightly crowded.
Russell turned on the old-fashioned computer with a big butt. It took a long time to start up. He couldn't find the information he wanted in the folder, so he got up and rummaged through the bookcase. Fortunately, he had five diaries. Through fragmented records, he gradually understood his identity.
First of all, Gladys has no blood relationship with him. His biological father and mother are Chinese, workers at the McCormack Mine, and died in a mining accident when he was young.
The owner of the mine, Mr. McCormack, adopted him. McCormack died six months ago. Before he died, he asked his sister Gladys to take care of him.
Gladys had no children, and she had been raising Russell all these years. Russell had settled here for a long time. Even the French bulldog named 'Bruce' was named by Russell.
The diary records that Russell liked to read Batman comics during that time...
Well, this is the worst time Batman has ever been hacked!
Russell put down the diary, still a little confused in his mind, because his family owned a mine, and even if he was an adopted child, he still had part of the inheritance rights. I say partly because Mr. McCormack has an engineer son who left home ten years ago to work in the big cities.
Part of Russell's vague memory was recalled. If he remembered correctly, the male protagonist of the plot was the engineer with the mustache who had been away from home for ten years.
The fleeting memory was fleeting, and Russell was afraid of forgetting it, so he immediately wrote down the scattered fragments in his diary, writing as many as he could. Although we still don’t know what the world mission is, we can’t get around spiders, because they are originally spider-themed monster movies.
The origin of the story, the reason for the collective mutation of spiders, comes from an unknown chemical substance on a transport vehicle.
Russell wrote down the three words "Jin Kaila" in his diary. Considering that the spiders grew like crazy on hormones, there was no problem in naming them Jin Kaila.
Yes, that’s the golden one that Africa and Neon are competing for!
Jinkela! Spider keeper! Cave! shopping center!
Russell wrote down a few keywords and relied on these fragmented memories to piece together the complete plot.
It's a pity that he skipped the movie when he first watched it, mainly to see the big-breasted girl Ashley.
It's not that I simply like this actor, but I covet her beauty... Bah, on the contrary, it's not that I covet her beauty, but I simply like this actor!
It's really difficult for him to sort out the complete plot now, but a few keywords are enough.
For monster-themed movies, the finale either involves monsters killing humans, or humans killing monsters. The ending of the Eight-Legged Monster is that the spider is killed by the detonated mine. Russell believes that his world mission should also be to eliminate the spiders, otherwise, to protect someone from surviving this spider attack.
"Russell, your dinner is in the kitchen, remember to wash the dishes."
"Okay, Aunt Gladys, I'll take a shower and come right away."
Russell closed the diary and decided to go to the mines tomorrow and visit the spider keeper. In addition, there was a shopping mall. Of course, Ashley's line cannot be cut off. The world mission is likely to be triggered by the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist has not returned yet, so the female police chief is the most likely.
Russell opened the closet and wanted to get some clean clothes, but found an M9 pistol in the closet. In the world of the League of Assassins, the M9 was drawn from the item card. He thought about it and locked it in the bedside table.
By the time Russell came downstairs after taking a shower, Fa Dou was already lying in his bed and fast asleep. Gladys was sitting in the living room, reading the newspaper and listening to the radio.
Russell sat across from Gladys with dinner. The broadcast was full of made-up gossip, mixed with obscene swear words and black slang. The announcer said whatever he thought of, without any logic.
Russell said kindly: "Aunt Gladys, you are no longer suitable to listen to this at your age. Believe me, you should listen to some classical music instead. It can cultivate your sentiments and keep your mentality young."
Gladys put down the newspaper and glanced sideways at Russell: "Brat, do you have any problem with my age?"
"Well, my bad!" Russell shrugged: "I just think... he is talking nonsense, don't you think so?"
"No, you haven't experienced society, and there are many things you don't understand. The announcer seems crazy, but he satirizes reality. I think he knows a lot of inside information."
Russell: "..."
as long as you are happy!
