Chapter 11: Strange Things
The letter, wrapped in brown paper, was held in old Bob's hand, and he took out a letter from it and read it carefully.
Jiang Qingjiu stood quietly aside, smoking the cigarette in his hand. Cigarettes burn quickly because of the wind. Old Bob quickly read the short letter. He put the letters in fresh order, put them in a brown paper bag, and sealed them.
"Are you going to that big mountain in southern Germany?" Old Bob had to look up at Jiang Sake because he was in a wheelchair, and his expression was serious, as if he thought that place was a very dangerous place.
Jiang Qingjiu took the letter handed over by old Bob, put it in his pocket, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled awkwardly,
"You're right, we have to go to the mountain that sealed the angel Rogge in Germany. ”
Old Bob pondered for a moment.
"I would like to ask, what happened to you, so do you have to go?"
It seems that Old Man Morey and Father Doug did not write the reason for the incident into the letter, Jiang Qingshu concluded. There was nothing to hide from the incident itself, and he immediately returned: "We did have some trouble, about evil spirits!"
Evil spirits!
When he heard these two words, old Bob was obviously stunned and a little out of shape.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?"
Old Bob himself wondered how he could talk so much to a young man he had never met today, which was almost impossible before. Was it because of letters from old friends? Or was there something else in him that he couldn't explain?, old Bob thought to himself.
Of course, Jiang Sake didn't mind talking to Old Bob about this, only Old Bob knew the specifics of that mountain.
When Jiang Sake told old Bob everything he knew about the house after he came to Europe.
Old Bob suddenly understood, whether it was the Vinces, Morey, or Father Doug, why they would tell the young man in front of him about these things that had already passed. It was very likely that there were evil spirits in that room, and although the young man in front of him did not talk about how they were sure that there were evil spirits in it, but since the three old friends were willing to help, it would naturally not be as simple as nothing.
"I kind of know. Old Bob said.
"So would you like to tell us about the situation in Germany?" Jiang Sake asked directly.
Old Bob hesitated. With his hands naturally stretched out of the blanket on his lap, he planned to drive the wheelchair himself.
Seeing this, Jiang Sake snuffed out the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can on the side, stepped forward quickly, and helped him into a wheelchair. "Where do you want to go?"
"Go to my study. Don't you want to know the answer, it's inside. Old Bob came back like this.
Jiang Sake pushed Old Bob's wheelchair, bypassed the pool, and entered the hallway.
"Actually, I wasn't the only one who went to the mountain in Germany at that time, but none of them were able to get out of it. “
Old Bob said this, and suddenly his tone couldn't help but tremble a little.
"I just want you to understand that this place is dangerous. “
Jiang Sake asked calmly, "I understand." ”
......
At the end of the hallway was Old Bob's study.
The wide wooden door was carved with some fine lines, and the door was pushed open, and the two entered the house.
The study room is not big, or because it is because of the tavern, Jiang Sake guessed.
There is a huge window on the side facing the door, which provides good light to the whole room. On either side are symmetrical bookshelves filled with books. A desk and a wooden chair are placed on the carpet in the middle.
Old Bob pointed to a cardboard box at the top of the bookshelf on the right, and said, "Take that box off." ”
At a glance, the bookshelves are also designed to be high due to the high roof. On one side of the door is a simple ladder.
Stepping on the ladder, the cardboard box in front of him was covered with heavy dust. It looks like this thing hasn't been touched in a long time.
Ginger sake removed the cardboard box and placed it on the desk.
Old Bob looked at the cardboard box with a little nostalgia in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and patted the dust on it, and the white dust instantly dispersed in all directions, and old Bob blew sharply again. Then opened the carton opened.
The first thing that catches your eye is a photo album, black and white.
Old Bob was in a heavy mood at the moment, and when he saw this, he remembered the crazy decision he had made.
Old Bob picked up the album, which also had a layer of dust on it, and I don't know how it got into it.
Old Bob just wanted to open the album, but somehow put it aside again.
"There's nothing important in this album, let's just look at the back. ”
Next was a videotape, but old Bob said it was broken because it was too old and he hadn't kept it properly.
Finally, a map.
Old Bob opened it flat. The map is rudimentary, and it is clear that it was all hand-drawn.
In the lower right corner of the map, annotators, mountains, rivers, and so on.
The most striking thing is the red handwriting, which is clearly marked with red as danger.
It is clear that except for a point on the outskirts of the mountainous region of southern Germany, the other red markings are concentrated in a wooded area in the abdomen.
Old Bob pointed to the single red dot and sighed,
"That's where Bill died, we met the bear, and he didn't escape his fate. ”
Jiang Qingjiu nodded, pointed to the large area, and asked, "Is this the mountain?"
"That's right. This area is the area of the mountain. Old Bob came back like this.
Looking at these red marks, the old man was a little distracted. "Every red mark is the location of a friend who died in our party. With the exception of Bill, who died at the hands of a brown bear, almost everyone else died under the odds. “
Dying in a strange way, Jiang Sake is curious to know what exactly they have encountered. Then he asked, "What is the weirdness you are talking about?"
Old Bob looked a little puzzled, and tilted his head to the right.
"The death was very strange, with a hideous face, and a dense body with something like a poisonous sore. And it was all accidents that happened at night, and when we woke up the next day, it had already happened. Strangely, not even the people who slept next to the incident noticed any movement that night. “
He slowed down, and his eyes became a little strange,
"It's ridiculous. At that time, some people in our group thought that someone had found some treasure and wanted to enjoy it alone, so the slaughter began, and everyone began to be suspicious of each other. Until we reached the top of that mountain, we were in front of the cave of the legendary high-level angel Rog. ”
"There were only two people left. ”
"You and the other one. Ginger sake said.
Old Bob nodded back, "Not bad." It was just me and the other one. It was already night, and we had to go into the cave tomorrow. I know I'm not the murderer myself, and now the answer is clear, the murderer is someone else. And then you know. ”
"I got into his tent that night. I killed the accomplice, and I still remember vividly the blood gushing down his neck. ”
Old Bob seemed to be telling a story about something that happened to him that he didn't want to mention. The expression is painful.
"And then?" Jiang Sake asked.
"Then the next day I went into the cave alone. ”
"What do you see?"
Old Bob shook his head and replied, "There are many passages in it, and I found a cave with mirrors. I thought I was mistaken, and just as I was about to go back the way I came, the one in the mirror moved. This made me feel uneasy, and then I took a closer look. I discovered a strange fact that I couldn't even admit to myself, and I killed everyone but Bill!"
Old Bob was a little gloomy and continued: "Later I figured out that the reason why I found that mirror was not by chance, but that some evil force of that mountain was manipulated, so that I got extraordinary abilities at night, and then killed, and then forgotten, and then continued to kill. It was as if the mountain had a magical power that could control all of people's thoughts. “
Jiang Qingjiu didn't expect that the old man in front of him, who was relatively easy-going, would have such an experience.
"Then I left Germany and came back to London, and I became withdrawn and reticent, and I moved out of my old place and opened a shop for decades. Everyone thought I was a brave man, but they didn't think I was a murderer. Old Bob said this, his tone a little heavy.
"I hope you can think about it, that place is really not a place where mortals can go, and it is said that that the area is still no man's land. Old Bob advised.
It shouldn't be some kind of magic that confuses people's hearts, it should be a powerful formation. Dongfang also has this type of formation, which can confuse people's minds, like controlling puppets, controlling people who enter the formation. The same mirror should also be a formation or something, but little is known about these ginger sake.
"Before we came, Mr. Morey and Father Doug had told us how dangerous the mountain was, and we were ready to go into the mountains to get the feathers on Rogge's wings. Jiang Qingjiu's tone returned relaxedly, and he didn't flinch because of Old Bob's words.
Old Bob nodded, pointed to the map, and reminded, "You can take a picture of this map, and keep it for me." “
Jiang Qingjiu took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the map, after the lights flashed, the photo showed a blank,
The places marked in red are most likely the places where the formations are set up, because I don't know much about this type of formation, so this picture is particularly important.
"Why did you shoot white?"
Old Bob didn't reply, and was speechless for a while.
Looking at it, the picture in between turned blank!
