Fantasy World Transmigration - 1108

Chen Ang’s choice obviously surprised Attorney Luke. He carefully observed Chen Ang for a while before he said: “Of course, Mr. Constantine. This master key can open all the doors of this house… ”

Chen Ang didn’t seem to have reacted, and he still smiled and said, “It was my request that was abrupt!”

“But who would have conspired with this house?” Attorney Luke laughed: “This house may have been very valuable before, but it is really very old. We have lived here for more than four generations, and we have not. Money guarantees this big house, so it’s already in tatters, and it’s a country town again-it’s really worthless!”

Nick interrupted: “But there must be a lot of antiques in such an old house! That’s a very valuable thing! So this key can’t be given to him…”

Attorney Luke smiled and said: “Both are people who are worthy of trust, and the 200,000 inheritance can give us a lot of help-we plan to leave here after we get the inheritance. We are older! We need something better. With the money, we plan to move to New Orleans.”

“Besides, we put all the antiques away and put them in a house in the attic. There is the only door in this house that cannot be opened with a master key.”

Chen Ang unceremoniously accepted the key and thanked him: “Thank you for your generosity. It is really a pleasure to talk with you. You are an erudite and talented person. For the history of this small town and the changes of the times, you will It’s like witnessing it with my own eyes. I’m really interested in history. This house has a long history. It’s like a gallery of time, some of the styles and features of the old times are well preserved here… Let’s visit Would you like it?”

Attorney Luke welcomed: “After dinner, you can browse at will. It’s too old! It’s nothing but history!”

Several people leaned in front of the fireplace and chatted for a while. They had dinner in the restaurant. The dinner was chickpeas with mashed potatoes. It was a classic country flavor. After dinner, Lawyer Luke apologized: “I’m used to eating afterwards. Sleep for a while after dinner, you know-the habit of the country folks, our nightlife here is very boring, and we usually go to bed very early!”

Chen Ang and Nick glanced at each other and nodded to express their understanding-the separation between American cities and rural towns is very serious. The international metropolis has a well-developed nightlife, but the rural towns are simple and boring. The living habits of the traditional Puritans still dominate here, although now rural towns are also beginning to be dominated by entertainment-the various parties and entertainment life of young people is no worse than in cities.

But this couple is really traditional—they are as traditional as the most conservative American Puritans.

Some hunchbacked hostesses took Chen Ang and the others to the guest room where they could rest. The room was on the second floor. When the door was opened, a faint musty smell floated out. The house is quite big. Although it smells of moldy, it is still clean. , Chen Ang touched the desktop, there was no dust on it.

This is surprising, this is a big house with thirty houses.

And Chen Ang also arrived suddenly-he had arrived one afternoon before Nick, without any prior notice.

Anyone who lives in a big house knows that it’s unrealistic to maintain the house for a long time. Kitchens that don’t have the habit of firing will have dust. As long as they are not used, they will accumulate dust in the corners and corners of the bedroom where they sleep. A room for young people, let alone two widowed middle-aged couples.

How can they have the energy to clean up more than 30 rooms? ——It should be covered with white cloth everywhere, and most of the unused rooms should be sealed up.

Chen Ang put down his luggage and went to find Nick. Nick lived next to him. As soon as he stepped in, he found that it was also very clean-it smelled of musty, but there was no dust, even in the corners.

Nick did not talk about Chen Ang’s sudden call to him here. Instead, it was like chatting. He naturally took out some information about the owner of the house from Chen Ang. Their skill in speaking was clever and exchanged a lot of information. It’s very natural, and at the same time, there is not a word about my identity.

Enough for the eavesdropper to understand nothing.

“There are a lot of portraits and sculptures of religious symbols, including the Virgin, the Son, and some biblical characters.” Nick joked, “You should be very interested!”

“I’m even more curious…” Chen Ang pointed to the thing hanging on the top of the big bed in Nick’s room, directly opposite to the ceiling. It was a doll about the size of a human slap with eyes sewn with buttons. The other organs of the face-nose and mouth are all painted with graffiti-like brushes.

“How do you feel when you are lying on the bed, opening your eyes and looking at this thing?”

Not only was Nick not afraid, he was also a little curious when Chen Ang said this. As soon as he lay back, a black bald head fell on the head of the bed with his eyes facing the position of the doll: “It’s pretty cute… if I There is a daughter. I will play dolls with her. You know I will be the kind of father who can put down his figure and have a good affinity.”

“You have to have a daughter first!” Chen Ang slammed.

“Also, before you have a daughter, you must first have a wife, but you don’t have…”

Nick lay on the bed and said, “I just went to the toilet. Can you imagine? There is no mirror in such a big house! I was curious for a while and asked the woman who brought me over. She said: A mirror is a door. It will let you see bad things. If you want to live alone in such a place quietly, it is best not to see the mirror. So…”

“So she secretly turned over your luggage?” Chen Ang said calmly.

“She has very light hands and feet, but I can still find…it’s not easy to hide from people like us.” Nick said: “It sounds like she has turned over your luggage. But the secrets of people like us are not Was discovered so easily… Is she looking for a mirror?”

“Anything a superstitious old man can do is possible!” Chen Ang didn’t seem surprised.

“And do you smell it?” Nick moved his nose and got up to sniff around. He turned his head and said to Chen Ang: “There is a faint smell…There are many kinds of smells, and it happens that I am very familiar with this one. “The relaxed look on Nick’s face gradually changed. His eyes sharpened at this moment, but the feeling quickly disappeared.

He became a black man who likes to be funny again.

Chen Ang was walking around the house. He lifted the stall on the ground with his feet. Under the stall at the door, two straight lines were drawn with white and red powder to block the door.

“Does this have any special significance?” Nick asked.

“Salt can block evil damage, and the red brick powder has the effect of blocking the approach of the enemy in Haitian witchcraft.” Chen Ang twisted the white powder and easily determined that it was salt-and it was still unfiltered. The coarse salt and the red brick powder are a little hard to judge, fortunately, he is familiar with the mysterious culture of various countries and regions.

“We usually use cinnabar there!” Chen Ang put down the carpet and said.

“Is cinnabar more useful, or salt and red bricks more useful.” Nick asked curiously: “I have never seen you do a case! Ask me to say that when I saw your resume, I really ate it. Surprised.”

“It’s useful in the hands of experts. We follow the rules…”

“Oh! Tell me the truth!” Nick said, “Now we are partners, aren’t we? Tell me some little secrets of your industry!”

Chen Ang reluctantly said: “Okay! Let me say something… In folk witchcraft, there is a principle that is very important—believe it, and unbelieve it! Some magic relies on energy to work, just like Kama Taj, The mages collect energy and turn it into weapons, so I say that they act according to the rules. But there are some magics that rely on faith for their function.”

“The will of the mage makes it effective!”

“So at that time, the will of the subject is also very important. Once you don’t believe in witchcraft, its power will be greatly reduced, because the world is material, witchcraft is conscious, and consciousness can act on consciousness, but It is difficult to act on substances.”

“So, strengthen your conviction.”
