Will frowned, pointed to the charm on the door of the thatched hut and asked me, "Mr. Long, what are these ghost-drawn talisman-like things?" ”

I heard him say that it was a ghost drawing talisman, and I replied angrily, "What is a ghost drawing talisman?" This is an anti-ghost charm that has been passed down from generation to generation in ancient China, and it has a history of thousands of years, so how can you foreigners who only have a history of more than 200 years understand it? ”

Will glared at me with dissatisfaction, and snorted coldly: "Although our country is only more than two hundred years old, our country is now the only superpower in the world...... しw0。 ”

I shrugged my shoulders and replied, "Colonel Will, we don't need to talk about politics, let's go inside the hut first!" ”

Will snorted: "It was you who insulted my great country first, and if you don't apologize to my country, I won't go into the hut with you." ”

I spread my hands and looked up at the sky that was about to be completely dark, for fear that Mitsuko Yamada would see him as soon as he came and kill him, so I couldn't care much at the moment, so I had to say helplessly: "Okay, Colonel Will, can't I be wrong?" Stop messing around and follow me to the hut! Otherwise you'll be in danger. ”

Will looked at me vividly, and said with a smile: "It's pretty much the same, let's go!" Let's go and sit in the hut for a while, I'll be tired from the journey, so go in and have a good rest. ”

Stepping through the wooden staircase under the hut, and gently pushing open the wooden door, the wooden door immediately emitted a piercing "creaking" sound.

After entering the hut, I immediately closed the wooden door tightly, and then sat down with Will on the wooden bed where Zhong Tianshi was lying when he was "paralyzed".

I sighed, patted Will on the shoulder, and said, "Colonel Will, when it's completely dark and there's movement, you must not go out, just hide in the house and watch from a distance, and don't make a sound." ”

Will waved his hand, made a stop gesture at me, showed an extremely annoyed expression, and said hurriedly: "I know, I know, it's long-winded, it's endless, I don't believe that there are ghosts in the world at all, just go out later." ”

I sighed helplessly, pulled my hair, and then took out the key that Mitsuko Yamada had asked for from my body, and I put the key to the underworld in the palm of my hand and looked at it carefully.

Will squinted at the key in my hand and asked with a surprised expression, "Hey, Mr. Long, how does this key in your hand look so similar to the ancient key used by Ali Baba thieves in Arabic mythology to open the treasure chest?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard him say this, "Haha, Colonel Will, it seems that the two of us really think the same thing, and I thought the same thing when I first saw it, but then I really knew its mysterious purpose." ”

Will raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's just an ancient key, what mysterious use can it have besides being old and worthy of collection and research?" ”

I sneered: "Your imagination is too low, and you will not guess its true purpose after spending a lifetime of energy." ”

Will glared at me and said angrily, "Then what mysterious use do you say it has?" ”

I knew that he wouldn't believe me even if I said it, but I couldn't help but whisper in his ear, "It's the key that opens the door to Hades." ”

After listening to my answer, Will leaned back and forth with a smile, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "The key to Hades, haha...... Brother Long, I really admire your fantasy ability, it's a shame that you don't become a fantasy writer, haha......"

I ignored his ridicule, but just quietly watched the golden key in my hand, and I wondered what kind of spell this very ordinary-looking key had to say to lead to the underworld.

What the spell about this key is, except for the "paralyzed" Zhong Tianshi, it seems that only Mitsuko Yamada knows about it.

Will saw me looking at the key in my hand in a daze, and continued to sneer: "Only a fantasy person like you can come up with such a ridiculous idea. ”

I snorted, "The world is so big that nothing is impossible." There are a lot of strange things that human beings don't know, and they can't all be explained by science. If nothing else, let's talk about the pyramids of Egypt! A lot of scientists don't know how it was built until now, hehe, I just think that it was not built by us humans at all, maybe it was the work of intelligent beings from foreign civilizations. ”

After listening to my words, Will glared and said, "You're talking nonsense again, let's talk about science." ”

After a moment, Will changed his tone and continued, "But I'm curious what you mean by alien civilizations? ”

I shook my head and said with a wry smile: "The ghost knows, it may be an alien or an immortal." This is just an example hypothesis, the reason why I give this example is just to let you know that there are still many unsolved mysteries in the world, I am not against using the so-called science to explain, science itself is for human beings, but when scientists encounter phenomena that they cannot explain, they will only say that it is feudal superstition, but they never think about whether their scientific level has reached the level of being able to explain that phenomenon. ”

Will wondered, "What do you mean by this, I didn't understand. ”

I smiled wryly: "When the level of science is not high enough to explain an unknown phenomenon, scientists will explain it as impossible for the sake of their so-called reputation." It's like legends of ghosts, aliens, gods, etc. These legends have existed since ancient times, but we do not believe them, and scientists even refer to these legends as feudal superstitions, without themselves delving into these mysterious phenomena. ”

Will was very amused, and leaned up to me and asked, "I've never heard of any of your strange theories, but if you listen closely, they seem to make some sense." ”

I sighed, didn't make excuses, just looked at my watch, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and I whispered to Will, "Colonel Will, ahem...... It's almost time, the ghost should be coming soon, be careful, it's best not to wander around......"

Before I could finish my sentence, a violent gust of wind sounded outside the house. The wind howled and shook the thatched hut as if it were about to be earthquaked. When Will saw this, he thought it was really an earthquake, and immediately opened the wooden door and rushed down the empty mountain outside the house. He shouted, "Mr. Long, the earthquake is coming, run!" If you don't run, you'll be crushed to death......"

I was angry and anxious, quickly pulled Will's clothes, and shouted: "Will, don't be impulsive, don't go out, don't open the wooden door, this is not an earthquake, this is a precursor to the coming ghost." ”

Will was stunned, tiptoed through the wooden window to look at the dark outside of the house, and said in a lost voice: "Really? You didn't lie to me? ”

I replied angrily, "Believe it or not, in a minute or two the wind will stop." ”

Will was stunned for a long time, gritted his teeth, and sat down on the ground, muttering to himself, "Is there really a ghost in the world?" ”

I sneered, "What? Colonel Will scared? ”

Will heard me laughing at him, and immediately stood up from the ground, pretending to be not afraid of heaven and earth. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is afraid?" I just sat on the floor and rested for a while. Besides, I am a staunch materialist scientist and do not believe in ghosts in the world at all. ”

Will looked calm on the outside, but I could tell he was terrified of ghosts, especially in the dead of night, when the slightest disturbance would make him feel creepy
