Chapter 223: Scarlet Skull
When I went back to the hotel that day, I had a phone call with Meng Xiang, and I didn't tell her that McVier was unconscious, but I told her that I might be back soon.
Meng Xiang was naturally very happy, and immediately asked me: "Has the ghost shadow case been completely investigated?" β
I don't know how to answer, but I can only say that this case has been investigated for a few days without progress, so I don't want to go any further.
Meng Xiang didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Actually, I wanted you to come back yesterday!" There's already a paranormal investigator there, anyway, there's no need for you to stay there! β
This made me feel a little embarrassed, and I had to secretly decide that even if I didn't have the courage to pursue this case alone, at the very least, I would not be able to return home until McQuay woke up.
Hanging up Meng Xiang's phone, I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before I gradually fell asleep.
Fortunately, it was quiet all night, and when I woke up early in the morning, I didn't encounter the fright of "ghost pressing the bed" again.
But when I went into the bathroom to wash up, I suddenly found another terrifying thing.
On the glass mirror above the wash basin, a bright red skull is drawn.
With two huge eye holes, coupled with two rows of sharp teeth, anyone who sees it will feel creepy.
And underneath the skull, there is also a line of bright red font.
It was written in English and translated: Hurry up and find the High Priest!
The lines were written crookedly, and every stroke was dripping, as if it were written in blood.
I'm a martial arts practitioner, and I'm far more alert than the average person when I sleep, and it's unlikely that someone would sneak into my room in the middle of the night, leaving behind this line of writing and this lifelike skull, and I was unaware of it.
So, who is the one who left this line of words and this skull?
Is it that kind of black ghost? Or is it something more terrifying that can command the Black Ghost?
I don't think it should be them.
First of all, these two things are not entities, but ethereal beings like ghosts.
So they can influence human behavior and thought, but it is unlikely that they can pick up a pen and write such a long script on a mirror, and draw such a realistic skull.
And then the line told me to hurry to the High Priest, and as far as I know, the High Priest should be the nemesis of these two thingsβ
At the very least, the High Priest can easily subdue that kind of black ghost, as evidenced by the two mahogany carved family gods of the Puticha family and the Yugda family.
But what else could have come into my room without a sound, and write this line of font and draw this skull?
Is there another kind of "supernatural" existence that I have been ignoring before?
But is this existence good or malicious?
If it's well-intentioned, why does it make it so scary?
If it's malicious, then why did you remind me to go to the High Priest?
My head was a mess, and I felt that all my speculations were full of holes and contradictions.
But one thing is clear to me, going to the High Priest is probably the only thing I can do, and the only thing I should do.
So I immediately used my mobile phone and dialed the private phone number that Yugda had left for me and McQuay.
Minister Yugda quickly answered the phone, and when I told him that I wanted to visit the Tai high priest, Yugda didn't ask much, just asked me where I was, and he would send someone to pick me up.
I washed up quickly, went downstairs to the hotel desk, and asked them if anyone had picked up my room key from the desk last night and entered my room.
The help desk foreman said, "It's impossible! If there are other guests visiting, we will notify you first, and even if someone comes to visit you at night, we will ask him to wait until daytime, and it is impossible to give him a room card to let him into your room when you are already asleep. It is even more impossible for waiters and the like to enter the guest room in the middle of the night! β
The hotel I stayed in was one of the largest hotels in Buntian City, and the security measures were not much worse than those of our domestic hotels, so I asked to check the surveillance footage.
The foreman said that if you want to check the monitoring, you need at least the nod of the manager on duty, but the manager hasn't arrived yet, so he asked me to wait a little.
But Yugda arranged to pick me up and the car arrived first.
I had to go upstairs to get a little backpack of mine, and I remembered the wooden statue that had been in McQuay's car, and I always thought I should take it up to the High Priest.
So I went to the parking lot, found McQuay's car, and put the wooden statue that had been wrapped in a towel into my little backpack before getting in to pick me up.
There was another passenger in the car, it was a strong man in his thirties, and he introduced himself as Doroti, who was himself a Thai.
The High Priest we are going to see today is the High Priest of the Doroti tribe.
I took the wooden statue out of the towel and asked Doroti what it was, but Doroti didn't know him.
So I guess for myself that maybe this is just a carving of the imagination of Ongpota in the middle of his bed, and it is not a god of any sect at all.
The car drove down the not wide road to the bottom of a mountain, and Doroti asked me to get out of the car with him, and asked the driver to drive the car back and come to the bottom of the mountain early tomorrow to pick us up.
After that, I walked into the mountain with Doroti.
It is the northern part of Buntian City, although the mountain is not very dangerous, but the terrain is complicated, there is no one to guide the way, it is really easy to get lost in the mountain.
According to Doroti, it would take at least three or four hours to reach the location of their tribe.
I'm not afraid to walk the mountains, I used to trek in the mountains for many days in a row in the Savage Valley.
What's more, today there is Doroti leading the way, at most, it is to climb up and down, so as not to overcome obstacles to open the road and build bridges.
Doroti is strong and strong, and he has grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and he can barely walk on the ground. I'm also a pretty athletic person, but when I follow him, I can't help but run out of breath.
Luckily, Doroti was considerate, and when he came to a stream, he stopped to let me rest for a while.
And he praised me and said: "You Chinese are so rich, I didn't expect to be quite powerful in walking the mountain road!" It's not like before when I took Puticha boss into the mountains, and I had to take a break after walking two miles, but it took a whole day to get to the place! β
I wanted to tell him that I had practiced martial arts, and I felt that it was a boast, so I said with a smile: "Chinese people are not all rich, our family used to be similar to these people around your Wentian City, but our country has developed rapidly in recent years, so the people have some spare money in their hands!" β
"Yes! It is said that your China is the same every day, and your China is so big, dozens of times bigger than our country! So I really hope that one day I will have the opportunity to visit your China, which must be splendid and prosperous, vast and boundless! β
In the end, Doroti actually used two very elegant words.
It seems that he looks rough and arrogant, but in fact, he has a lot of writing in his chest. It wasn't all luck that he was able to gain a foothold next to Interior Minister Yugda.
I wanted to open my mouth to praise him, but just as I was pondering what words to use, all of a sudden, I saw a terrible sight.
