My Waste Husband novel Chapter 908

Henry stood on the black brick road and looked at the eighteen-meter-high towers in front of him. He frowned and fell silent.

"Martial Uncle, what did you find?" Silver Visitor walked to Henry and asked in a low voice.

Henry shook his head slightly. "Have you realized that a description of the places like this is present in some books?"

"Books?" Silver Visitor looked confused. He thought for a while and then shook his head. "Martial Uncle, I think I've read a lot of history books, but I've never seen such a description."

"Of course not in history books. I am talking about books." Henry said, "According to ancient books, there is a demon- sealing pagoda and a demon-subduing sword on the top of the pagoda to suppress the demons and evils."

"Martial Uncle, what you're talking about is a fairytale?!" Silver Visitor looked speechless. "How can the things in the novels be real? Do you think that there are demons and ghosts locked up in these towers?"

"The things in the novels can't be taken seriously, but these towers were used for imprisoning something. Come with me." Henry lifted his foot and walked forward.

Silver Visitor followed Henry with a puzzled look on his face. After walking for dozens of metres, Henry suddenly stopped. He stood in the middle of two towers.

"Look here." Henry stopped and looked at the ground.

Silver Visitor's gaze followed, and a small piece of the chain was imprinted into Silver Visitor's eyes.

Silver Visitor lowered his body, inspecting the chain on the ground. The chain was less than twenty centimetres long, as thick as a man's forearm, and two of the chains had signs of being broken. When Silver Visitor saw where the chain had been broken, his pupils suddenly contracted. "This..."

The two sides of the chain had been extended and deformed.

"These chains were not cut off by sharp weapons but were broken by force," Henry said gently. "The materials of the chains are unclear. Even though they have been buried here for so many years, they are still stronger than steel."

Silver Visitor picked up the chain. He discovered that the chain was extraordinarily heavy. It was less than twenty centimetres long, and weighed sixty pounds.

"Follow me." Henry waved to Silver Visitor and then jumped up to the top of the tower.

Silver Visitor followed him. They arrived at the top of the tower.

"Look here." Henry reached out his hand to touch the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, there was an iron ring used to tie the chain. At the moment, only a small part of the chain was left of the iron ring, and the other side of the chain, just like the one found by Henry and the others on the ground, was torn off by force.

Henry continued to say, "I just observed the ten towers. Each of them is tied with chains, and on the surface of the top of the tower, there is a trace. It is that over the years full of wind and rain the traces formed. And the traces left by the chains were all in one direction, that is to say..."

"Every single tower was connected by a chain!" Before Henry could finish his words, Silver Visitor proceeded to say, "It's just that the chain was forcibly ripped off by someone."

"Yes." Henry nodded.

"But what is this for?" Silver Visitor's face grew even more puzzled. "They used chains to connect each of the towers, and then someone tore them apart. It just so happened that the towers didn't suffer any damage."

"Instead of thinking about these, it's better to think about another problem." Henry stood at the top of the tower and looked into the distance. It was dark there, and even if Henry could not see anything in the distance. It seemed to be a new world.

"What?" Silver Visitor asked subconsciously.

"I just said that the chain mark was formed because of constant rain and wind at the top of the tower. What happened to make a city that was originally on the ground fall hundreds of metres into the ground and still intact? I think it's better to start from this aspect rather than to guess about the things that have nothing to do with it. Maybe you can find some clues," Henry said.
