Chapter 69: Antique Carnival
There was no one in the house, how could there be the sound of someone walking? Just when I turned my head to check, the lights in the room suddenly went out, and I was nervous, so I hurriedly pressed the switch, but no matter how I pressed it, there was no response.
It was a scene very similar to the scene of the encounter with the fake Wei Yin in my home that day—trapped in a confined space, with no light and darkness all around.
I was nervous and beating the drums, isn't that hell? As soon as I thought of this, Uncle Dao's sentence "Don't let the ghost take the blame for everything" came out, indeed, many times it is we who scare ourselves, and when we encounter any unexplained phenomenon, we immediately push it to the ghosts and gods, which is actually useless.
So I began to grope around the room to see if there were any clues, and after about half a minute, I suddenly noticed that there were many small red points of light flashing from the place where the antiques were piled up, which were not obvious in the daytime, but were very abrupt in this dark environment.
I clenched my fists and slowly approached the little red dots of light, trying to figure out what the source of light was. When I walked over to the red dots, I was stunned, and an indescribable fear came over me.
These small dots that shimmer red turned out to be eyes, including the eyes of the rap terracotta figurines just now, the eyes of jade horses, and the eyes of ghosts in ancient paintings......
Are these antiques alive?
This time I didn't get scared back, but I mustered up the courage to step forward and pick up the rap figurine I just fiddled with, I want to see where you are sacred.
The flickering red light in his eyes made the figurine look even more eerie - grinning mouth, exaggerated abnormal movements, and disproportionate upper and lower proportions...... Suddenly, I saw the figurine tap the small drum on his right arm with the stick in his left hand, and the dull sound of the drum sounded in my ears.
I was completely unprepared, my hands trembled, and I threw the little figurine directly on the ground, and something even more strange happened, the little figurine rolled on the ground and then stood up straight like a tumbler, and the big grinning mouth still let out weird laughter from time to time.
That kind of laughter is like a circus clown, and it makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies, which is very uncomfortable.
The strange laughter grew louder and louder, and soon I noticed that all the cultural relics scattered on the ground and on the table around me were agitated—the strange-looking ghosts on the ancient paintings, the old cows plowing in the fields on the vessels, and the smiling bodhisattvas on the jade pendants......
It was like I was in a dream.
In the darkness, everything in this room became irrational and abnormal, and these originally silent antiques suddenly came to life, like prisoners who have suddenly been freed from the chains, and after being freed, they are frantically holding carnivals.
I didn't dare to take a breath in the tense atmosphere as I stood still, for fear that the unreasonable disturbance of me, an "intruder", would disrupt the rhythm of their carnival at the moment.
However, they seemed to want to invite me to join in this incredible.
First of all, the rap figurine, it jumped to my trouser leg step by step, stretched out its hand and kept tugging at my trouser legs, then those pictures of people and animals, they flew directly towards me, the long scrolls wrapped my body directly, and finally those utensils, jade pendants, they jumped on top of my head, jumped on my shoulders, jumped into the neckline of my clothes......
It was so crazy that I screamed loudly, completely overwhelmed.
Suddenly, the same dizziness that I had felt in the tomb came back to me, but this time I didn't faint completely, but in a half-asleep and half-awake way I heard the antiques chattering, and in a daze, I saw the door open, and there was a man standing outside the door.
I immediately shook all the pestering creatures to the ground, and then ran out the door in two steps and one step.
It was Alan Lin who opened the door for me.
"What's wrong?" Alan Lin asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
I pointed into the house in a panic and said incoherently, "Li...... The antiques of the noodles are all fine! ”
Alan Lin held up her flashlight and shone it inside, and then said coldly to me, "Lying also requires intelligence. ”
When I saw that she didn't believe her, I took her to the antiques in the house and showed her it myself. However, to my surprise, the antiques in the room were all in their original position, looking exactly the same as before I came in, without any problems.
"This ...... This one...... I just ...... it."
Before I could finish my sentence, Alan Lin interrupted me with a sullen face: "Although you are a consultant hired by the company, this does not mean that you have the right to enter anywhere. It's not too early, and if your work is done, then please go home. ”
I was overwhelmed by Ellenn's words, and she was right that according to the company's rules, there were places where I really didn't have the right to come and go at will.
I couldn't tell for a moment the strange scene in the room, so I had to pick up the documents that had been thrown on the ground and walk out in a very embarrassed way.
When I got home, I tossed and turned. Thinking back to what I had just encountered in that room, I can't describe it as weird. Is it really a ghost?
I know that a ghost is the easiest way to explain, but it's also the least reliable because there's no logic in it. And I have always believed that we live in a world governed by logic and laws, even if there are many things that seem irrational on the surface and can temporarily blind people's eyes, if we peel back its mysterious shell and camouflage, we will find that it is at the mercy of some subtle law inside, and there is always some truth to it.
To use the simplest analogy, in ancient times, people would encounter some green, blue, or red flames near tombs or cemeteries. These flames are like living ones, they can move with the movement of people, so that people can't get rid of them, which is very terrifying, and is often called "ghost fire" by the ancients.
But this "ghost fire" in modern times may not be so mysterious, a little bit of people who have watched some popular science TV programs know that the so-called "ghost fire", in essence, is the effect of phosphorus in the bones of the corpse, phosphorus and water or alkali will produce phosphorus oxide, this phosphorus oxide through the stored heat, will burn when it reaches the burning point, and because the mass of phosphorus is lighter, so people's movement will drive the phosphorus fire to follow.
Ghosts aside, will it be a hallucination? I had hallucinations in the ancient tomb of Zanglong Mountain, and although I have come out now, it is very likely that I have left sequelae.
This possibility does exist, but it is not very large, because after I came out of the ancient tomb of Zanglong Mountain, I specially did a brain examination in the hospital, and even made an appointment with a psychiatrist, and they all said that my mental state is very normal, so there should be no such large-scale hallucinations.
So what is the reason for this?
After thinking about it, I think the problem lies with the Audan Group itself. After all, this company has too many secrets.
