It has been tested to have an inhibitory effect on certain unknown supernatural energies. For more exciting visits, there is also a black box that was obtained in Japan many years ago, which can seal the curse. I don't know if it will have an effect on this book, but if I really can't solve the secrets of the book and break the mysterious spiritual power inside, I will still go to Canada and try those two things.

Although that's a last resort.

The three of us had a simple lunch at the hotel and sat in the café on the second floor in a daze. In the park opposite, the road is still closed. The car accident a few hours ago left many people dumbfounded, and Regia's eyes were stunned through the glass, looking at the scene closed by the police, still very afraid.

And Andrew was silent, not because he was threatened by anything, but when I told him that the manuscript might be a high copy, the guy was angry. Perhaps for him, the windfall that should have been in his hands has come to naught, and it is a more painful thing to die.

Regia sighed and sat down casually next to me, curled up on the couch like a cat, resting her head gently on my shoulder.

Andrew's eyes widened, and he almost squirted out all the coffee in his mouth, "You two are a little weird, didn't you run out of the room and sit in some weird things when I wasn't paying attention?" ”

"Fuck you, you bastard's head is full of dirty thoughts, can you be a little purer?" I scolded.

"Then why is she leaning on you, I am such a big pile of fat meat, and you have a lot more pressure on your shoulders. It's more comfortable leaning on you, and I didn't see her leaning towards me. Andrew chuckled.

Regia looked at Andrew, who was babbling nonsense, and was not angry, just a sweet smirk, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Even I don't know why Reguia leans on me so naturally, but the more I explain it, the more chaotic it becomes, and I simply don't explain it. Besides, in the face of a terrified girl, can I drive her out of my body?

I took a deep breath and pulled the black Grimm Fairy Tales out of my backpack. The book wasn't heavy, but I was still a little nervous knowing that it had killed an unknown number of people. Feeling the cold touch of the cover, I took another deep breath and, after some hesitation, opened it anyway.

Whatever happens, as long as you start it, it seems to be a lot simpler. My nervous heart calmed down as the pages turned, and I flipped through the yellowed pages one by one, reading the fairy tales one by one.

Not long after, I raised my head and suddenly asked abruptly, "Do you know Edison's spirit communicator?" ”

Regia and Andrew were stunned at the same time and shook their heads.

I casually said, "The reason why great people are called great people is that they have their own unique places." Albert Einstein, for example, suddenly declared that he had a religion that he insisted on in his old age. The same is true of Edison. ”

In 1920, an American magazine called Scientific America published a shocking chapter by Edison, who was 73 years old at the time. He said that if my soul were still alive at that time, then on the basis of scientific theory, I should be able to bless the memories, knowledge, and abilities I have gained in this world. Therefore, the soul of the time should be eager to communicate with those who are still on fire in the world. I think the soul can physically change the material of this world. If this inference is correct, if I have created a device that can be manipulated by the soul in advance, I will definitely be able to record the activities of the spirit world. ”

"As a result, did he make the spirit communicator?" Andrew asked well.

"Idiot." Regia stared at him sideways, "If it is really made, the world will definitely be a sensation." Now it may be confirmed that the soul exists, and it will become common knowledge in the same way that the evolutionary theory of human beings evolved from monkeys. ”

"But every country has a lot of secrecy departments, such as Region 8, such as the UFO research system in the United Kingdom. Perhaps Edison's spirit instruments were able to cause panic among the people, so they were hidden by the state. Andrew defended himself unrelentingly.

"Idiot, it's noisy." Regia pouted, "You've watched too many sci-fi movies." ”

"But ......"

"Alright, listen to me." I knocked my hand on the table to silence them," Edison's remarks caused a stir in the world at the time. People from all walks of life were in an uproar and pointed out his whimsy. Even his theories have been harshly criticized by scientists. But who he was, he was Edison, the great man who led his group to invent thousands of important objects. His influence is unparalleled. The people didn't care whether science was scientific or not, they even began to believe that there was a spirit world, and began to wait patiently for their great Edison to invent the spirit communicator. ”

I took a sip of coffee," but since that remark, Edison has been silent, and has not said a word about the spiritual communicator on any other occasions. He never talked to anyone about his spiritual trials. On October 18, 1931, Edison passed away, leaving the world forever. He was found to have left behind a room full of fixtures and research, but there was no information about the spirit communicator. ”

Regia also showed a good expression at this moment, "The so-called spirit communicator is really bragging, right?" ”

"I don't know." I shrugged my shoulders and said, "In the decades since, opinions have been divided. Some say that Edison did create a spirit communicator, but for some reason he hid it. Some people said that it was impossible to make something that had no scientific basis at all, and Edison retreated. ”

"Does your telling this story relate to where we are now?" Reguia thought for a moment and asked.

"Clever!" I unconsciously flipped the table of "Grimm's Fairy Tales": "It does have a relationship. I researched the book and found something strange. First of all, the four words of the cover title are in Old German, as you should have already seen. ”

Regia nodded.

And Andrew patted his forehead vigorously, making a look of awakening, "Ah, it turned out to be Old German, no wonder I think it's a little jerky to read." ”

I ignored the idiot and continued, "Secondly, the cover is made of cowhide dyed black. In ancient Germany, important things were written in sheepskin. When paper was used a lot, more than 200 years ago in Germany, there was still a habit of using sheepskin as book covers. It's rare to see cowhide as a cover, which really concerns me. ”

I pulled up the cowhide cover with my hand, turned to the inside page, and pointed to a very obscure place on the lower right foot, "Look at this carefully." ”

"Something seems to be there, round, like a strange sign." Regia wiped her eyes.

"This logo is somewhat similar to the Protestant emblem, but it is just similar, and if you look closely, you can see that there are many differences." I explained, "There are four main ethnic groups living in Germany today: Germans, Danes, Gisers, and Sorbians. After many years of fusion, religion has come together. ”

"I know that." Andrew said proudly, "My mother believes in Protestantism, but the emblem at home is not the same as this." ”

"That's the Protestant badge now. Two hundred years ago, Protestantism was far less developed and still in its infancy in Germany. Many people don't know that history. I said lightly, "Of course, the badge of this book has nothing to do with Protestantism, so don't mention it." But the totem of the old Sorbian people summoning souls has many similarities with this thing. ”

And this round, internal sign of irregular lines, is in the lower right corner of every page of this fairy tale book, and the lines of each page are subtly different. It is interesting to see what the purpose of the person who drew these lines and what kind of effect they wanted to achieve. I put my head on my hands and fell into deep thought as I spoke.

"Ah Ye. Hey, Night! Regia shook me vigorously, "Go on, I haven't even understood it." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted again." I closed the book together, "Overall, I have a preliminary judgment that this book may have some religious significance. Based on the changes in the totems on each page of the book, I found some patterns. Totem may be a very old language, I don't understand it, but the instructor who taught me naturalism probably knows. ”

Saying that, I didn't pay any attention to them, took pictures of the totems one by one with my mobile phone, turned on my laptop computer, dialed the phone, and wrote an email to the tutor and sent it to the tutor. Ask him to translate it as soon as possible, if he knows the language.

Regia waited quietly for me to finish before she said, "How long are we going to sit in this café?" ”

"Where else can you go if you don't sit here? Relatively speaking, this place is already the safest place I can think of. There is no horror in that fairy tale book that can happen in a café. "I knocked on the book on the table" Wait for the teacher's reply first, if the ancient characters of the book are deciphered, the context of the matter will be much clearer. In short, I now think that the book is very likely to be used in some religious rituals, and even to Edison's so-called spiritual communicator. ”

As soon as I said this, I smelled a strange foul smell in my nose.

"Do you think you smell anything weird?" I frowned.

Andrew grinned and sniffed around, "Smell?" What can it taste like? ”
