Chapter 8 The First "Grand Prize"?

It is said to be a Noh mask carved from the Sengoku period, and it cannot be burned even if it is burned with fire.

Once put on, the person wearing the mask will not be able to remove it until after death, and if someone damages the mask, they will die......

Except that because his memory is a little vague, he can't remember whether it is called the name "Death Mask", Mo Chen is already eighty percent sure of the essence of the Noh mask, which is a monster that has survived from the Warring States Period five hundred years ago to the present day-

The mask carved from the laurel tree that was shot by the jade fragments of the four souls hundreds of years ago has been trying to get a better body and constantly eating people, but the human body is easy to break, and it has little action as a mask itself.

The person wearing the mask will not be able to take it off until after death, or this is not a lie.

Because as long as the mask is worn, that person is no longer the original person, in fact, he has been directly devoured by the mask and occupies his body. But because of this, the body would quickly decay, and the mask would have to leave the body again.

So isn't that what the rumors say? It's just that the truth is actually a different version.

"Well, Miss Tojo, though it may not be too good to say so...... However, I would recommend that you not touch that noh face. ”

After Misako Dongcheng told Mo Chen about this news as some superstitious and bizarre statement, the latter muttered for a moment, and then stretched out his index knuckle to gently tap the table and said.

"Groundless news may not be for a reason, I have a friend's experience, that is, the legend is more or less substantiated, that thing is said to be so evil, it is definitely not a good thing in itself."

"Huh? This one...... Thank you for the reminder, but I heard from my mother that she also thinks it is evil, and when it comes time to clean up her grandfather's relics, she will send Noh noodles to a nearby shrine to ward off evil spirits. ”

Tojo Misako was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, and said in a harmonious voice with a smile.

Although when talking about the topic just now, or because she remembered the experience of being frightened when she was a child, she would feel a little bizarre and grotesque, but whether she herself believes in that kind of thing?

That's definitely not going to be believed, after all, it's what age it is.

But she wouldn't be stupid enough to refute directly, she just agreed with kindness, and she looked like a pretty gentle and natural girl with a smile.

However, if it were in the face of other people, with her straightforward temperament, I am afraid that she would have said it directly. can only say that girls are born actors when necessary-

Even a female man who can change the gas by herself is good.,When necessary, you can pretend to be a cute girl who can't even unscrew a mineral water bottle.。

Mo Chen saw the indifference hidden in her seemingly easy-going words, and couldn't help frowning:

"Miss Dongcheng, I'm not joking, that thing can be really dangerous, it's not a bad thing to pay a little more attention...... As for exorcism, there is no need for it, and it is better not to touch it. ”

Exorcism or something, it didn't work at all, and he vaguely remembered that the woman in the original plot might be the mother of Misako Higashijo. She was originally going to take Noh noodles to the Sunset Shrine to ward off evil spirits, but she was eaten before she walked to the steps of the torii gate.

Sunset Shrine is said to be passed down from generation to generation.,The history is profound.,But it's actually useless.,Sunset Kagome's grandfather as a priest.,Can only be said to be qualified at the level of ordinary people.。

That is, to decorate the faΓ§ade or something, there will be no problem, but if you want to count on him to really have any magical powers, it is better to count on the sunset Kagome with half a bucket of water...... At least the latter does have super terrifying potential, a powerful force inherited from previous lives that transcends its time.

It's just that she doesn't know how to use it, and until the end of the plot, she has never really mastered that spiritual power like a bellflower.

Anyway, no matter according to the worldview of "Tomb" or "Inuyasha", there is no one in modern society who is truly extraordinary, and no one has mysterious powers.

That Noh noodle itself doesn't have much mobility, so if you don't touch it, there will be no problem at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been a collection of Misako Tojo's maternal grandfather for so long.

But there is no point in exorcising evil spirits, and it is very dangerous to actively touch it, and it may awaken its consciousness.

Mo Chen originally wanted to say that it was best to leave it to himself, after all, there was also a fragment of the jade of the four souls in the mask, but fortunately, he came to his senses in time, and after all, he restrained himself and did not say such rude words.

After all, if he just couldn't bear to see the tragedy happen, and kindly reminded him, then if he added that sentence, the nature would have completely changed. It felt as if he had discovered the value of the mask and wanted to snatch it from the other party.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was silence.

The corners of Tojo Misako's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, she carefully looked at the young man in front of her, and her inexplicable heart suddenly jumped heavily, as if there was no reason to believe what the other party said.

There's no reason for this at all, it's such a ridiculous thing, it's okay to talk about it as a supernatural thing, but it's only limited to the level of weird talk, right?

Could it be that someone would really think it was true? Is this young man in front of him serious?

She tried her best to keep her expression unchanged, and her voice became more easy-going, natural, cheerful and optimistic, as if she didn't feel anything wrong at all, and nodded again and again and said seriously: "I will tell my mother, thank you for your kind reminder." ”

Mo Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, but finally shook his head and didn't say anything.

He could tell that this girl still didn't believe what she said...... Also, I am afraid that ordinary people have long felt that they are insane, how can they believe such an alarmist statement in turn.

In comparison, it is quite good that she can maintain such a polite attitude all the time.

In fact, Mo Chen also knew that a big reason was because he couldn't come up with more evidence or say it more clearly. As in many stories, the insiders are always vague and unwilling to make things clear, and the result is always ineffective or even counterproductive.

After all, either you don't say anything, or you just say it clearly, and if you don't know what to say or leave half of it, it's actually more likely to make people half-believe or misunderstand the meaning.

In the past, Mo Chen actually hated such people, but now, he found that there were some things that he really couldn't do.

It's like this, he can remind it because of kindness, but if the other party doesn't believe it, he can't help it. At least that kindness wasn't enough for him to directly expose his hole cards to prove the matter.

After all, the other party is a stranger in the true sense of the word, and he is not at all as good as the crew of the Stoic who has long been "familiar" to some extent, so he will not subconsciously give too much trust.

Kindly remind me that this is already the limit, and if the other party doesn't believe it, then he won't say more.

The language is vague, and it is indeed annoying to say half of it, but it also depends on what angle you look at the problem. At least now, as an insider, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong, and he is not bad enough to be honest with each other immediately.

So - leave the rest to fate.

Lowering his eyes, Mo Chen didn't say anything more, just silently took out his mobile phone and began to check if there was any special news or anyone who contacted him in the three days that he disappeared.

There is still no news for the time being, and the whereabouts of the four "jackpots" have not been found so far, but in many cases, the absence of news is good news in itself.

At least for Mo Chen, who is about to give up, this situation is definitely much better than news such as "a nuclear leak in Raccoon City" and "the vice president of the United States announced that the people of the United States south of the 30th parallel should evacuate to the equator as soon as possible".

Miss Crawford had sent a lot of emails before, and he sorted them out and found that the other party had sent the materials prepared by their team.

There is no cover-up, it is basically a clue about the legendary city of the Siberian wilderness, the legend of immortality and the summary query of various related information, so it was sent directly.

There's nothing wrong with this, not to mention that their information control and surveillance have been revoked now, even if they haven't been revoked, these things are not secrets that need to be covered up-

Laura is just going to find the truth behind these "legends", and no one will think these things are true anyway.

And the most important thing is that these materials are just hard to find, not top secret, and what the archaeological project needs to do is to compile their true and false and find valuable clues from them. What they can find, others can find as well.

It's just that because it's so above board and so normal, these materials don't need to be covered up at all, and there is no problem at all.

It's just that Mo Chen just browsed casually at first, but slowly he found a clue that was simply dazzling - it was the comparison of similar legends that appeared around the world that Miss Crawford had specially collected in the part about the legends of immortality.

Mo Chen found a simple description in it, to the effect that it is located in the primeval jungle of Borneo, and it has been said that there is a rare plant called "blood orchid" since ancient times.

According to the records, the blood orchid has mysterious powers that can make people immortal, and the rumor that "almost no one has ever obtained it" has gradually made the blood orchid a species that only exists in legends.

"This thing...... It's a product of the world view of "Python Calamity", right? ”

Putting down the phone, Mo Chen rubbed his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that he might have inadvertently found the whereabouts of a "grand prize".

If the blood orchid really exists, then its effect is obviously real, that is, the serous fluid it secretes can keep people forever young, so that the creature can break through the "Hyfrick limit", and the cells can continue to divide continuously and almost indefinitely.

Or...... Can you take a look yourself?

He quickly calculated it and found that it seemed that he had such a free time, and the next problems on the side of the Warring States Period were not big, and there was no plot worth intervening in.

And the mask cannibalism incident that is likely to break out in the real world will not happen so soon, at least after Inuyasha has broken his iron teeth, and there is also the protagonist team responsible for solving the problem, so you don't have to worry about it at all.

Although the rainy season had passed at this time, and the flowering period of the blood orchid had also passed, it was nothing if it didn't bloom, and if he could, Mo Chen planned to transplant them back directly with the roots.

By the way, it is just right for the crew of the Endurance to use the deadly giant anaconda as the object in that harsh environment to see how far they can go.

- That's right, it was such a happy decision.
