Up close, the Western-style building tells people that it's like this. However, even earlier, when viewed from a kilometer away, what the Western-style pavilion told people was a different kind of thing, obviously there was no change in the appearance and structure, but there was a difference due to the observer's own subjective cognition. The different impressions in a very short period of time greatly impacted the imagination of Takakawa and the driver. There are tangled vines here, but it is certainly not an abandoned museum, and if you want to open the door and enter without climbing over the wall, you must first eradicate these vines. This made them a little hesitant.

The two were hesitant to do not have the same thing.

On the premise that the Western-style Pavilion is the residence of witches, the driver feels that whether it is to remove the vines or climb over the wall to enter, it is an immoral invasion, for fear of attracting the dissatisfaction of the owner of the Western-style Mansion. He is curious about the stories of witches, but he is also afraid of the bad luck and wonders brought by the witches in the stories. He felt as if he had stepped into a legendary adventure, looking at a treasure that belonged only to a few, and although he was not an expert on mysteries, the story of the witch VV was so rare that even the most knowledgeable occultists had heard of it - this was the first time he had told a story he had heard by chance in his childhood, and had experienced it firsthand.

Yes, the driver believes that everything in front of him proves the existence of the witch VV.

“…… Why don't we find the doorbell first? The driver asked, only to get Gao Chuan's white eyes.

"I think the axe over there might be something we could use, maybe the owner deliberately prompted us to use it." Takakawa pointed to the axe embedded in the half-cut stump in the corner of the door that he could see as far as he could see. In the cold night light, the axe gave people the feeling of cold light flowing, without the slightest decay, around the stump, and there were many pieces of firewood that had been chopped into strips but not cleaned up.

Takakawa felt that the appearance of the axe clearly did not match the appearance of the abandoned courtyard, as if it was to highlight its own existence through this discrepancy—it or its owner wanted visitors to use it, of course, and had to get it out of the door first.

"Are you kidding?" The driver's eyes widened, "If you want to get that axe, you have to go in, and since it's all in, why use the axe again?" ”

"You know, we guys, there's always some weird little tricks." Takakawa looked back at him calmly and said, "I have a hundred ways to take that axe from the outside as long as you want." ”

"No, forget it. Whatever the technique, I always felt that it was not a good thing to split the door with an axe-" the driver flatly refused, "and I would definitely be angry." I don't want to anger a witch, I want her to help my son. ”

Gao Chuan nodded, at least such thoughts were normal. He almost felt that the driver's reason for refusing would be even more bizarre.

The driver came here not with the psychology of simply visiting the truth of the rumors, but with the mentality of praying. In this case, how deferential he can be, how deferential he will be.

"For the sake of my son......" Gao Chuan suddenly hesitated, he didn't quite understand what he was hesitating at first, it seemed that the previous conversation made him have some kind of idea, and he had some doubts about what the situation was, but the problem was that he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while. In short, the inside story was associated from the conversation just now, and it was a flash of inspiration, and I almost didn't capture it.

On the other hand, this hesitation also aggravates the suspicion of the foreign pavilion, and even further verifies Gao Chuan's speculation: the master's attainments at the level of consciousness interference have reached the level of pervasiveness.

Takakawa didn't want to open the dwelling of something unknown, but indeed weird and powerful, in a rough way, whether it was a witch or not, or a human or not.

"Be careful." Gao Chuan couldn't help but say to the driver: "I feel that any idea here will bring some kind of feedback." ”

"Of course." The driver just said with a natural expression, "That's a witch, and witches can read minds." ”

"It's not as simple as reading minds." Gao Chuan said, but he also knew that the current driver had long been disturbed by the other party's power, and it was impossible to listen to his words.

Although the driver looks like the "protagonist", on the other hand, he is also like a "guide" - the leader who leads Takakawa here to meet the master, and the driver himself does not know that he is the "leader".

"Well, let me see what's better. It's not a problem to stay out and speculate all the time. Gao Chuan glanced at the empty and barren courtyard again, then his eyes fell on the vines, he reached out and touched them, the unique touch of plants was very real, these vines could clearly distinguish the old from the new, the new branches and the old branches were entangled and knotted in an unnatural way, making people feel that if it were not for human guidance, it would never grow like this.

"Is it moving?" The driver asked suddenly.

"What?" Gao Chuan was confused for a while, what did he want to ask?

"It could be a witch's pet. You see, as the story says, it seems lifeless, but in fact it is just its disguise, the real one is smart and sensitive, and it can eat people. With that, the driver took two steps back, staring at Takagawa and the vines with suspicion, as if he had taken what he imagined seriously.

"That's just the story." Takakawa said, just wanting to pull the vine down in one go. Anyway, he had a lot of strength, and he felt that it was no more polite to do so than to chop with an axe, or kick with his foot, or burn and climb over the wall—of course, he felt in his heart that if he were the owner of the foreign mansion, he might be a little uncomfortable, but he wouldn't care too much.

However, before he could do that, the driver saw through it. The man shouted vigorously, "Don't move! ”

After Gao Chuan Ruyan stopped, he quickly explained: "If you hurt it, it will bite you like a poisonous snake." ”

"Oh, I see." When Gao Chuan heard him say this, he pulled a large piece of vines from the iron gate with his backhand, but in the next moment, the vines in his hands suddenly turned into poisonous snakes, and the vines that were still entrenched on the iron gate also swept towards him in one breath.

"Oh my God!" The driver's reaction only had time to say that. Then he saw that Gao Chuan was still bitten by poisonous snakes on his arm, and his body was still wrapped around his body by vines, and this tall young man stepped back in a more brutal way, tearing at the foreign object on his body. I thought it would be very dangerous, very difficult, and the vines and poisonous snakes that must be extremely powerful were like cotton threads, which could be easily torn off. The torn vines and poisonous snakes fell to the ground and withered after a few struggles.

The driver's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe that the matter had been settled so easily.

However, for Takakawa, it was completely expected. First of all, the prosthetic's power has never been marked with a definite value, but it is definitely among the top of all the occult experts. Later, the driver reminded him that "the vines will fight back", and in his experience, if the driver didn't say that, maybe nothing would happen, but when the driver said so, nine times out of ten it would become true.

On the other hand, you can think of this situation as a small "prophecy", so that when it happens, as long as you are prepared, you can basically deal with the past - of course, not 100%. However, Takakawa has assessed the current situation and believes that at least at this stage, there will be no real unexpected lethality.

"Then it will be clean." Gao Chuan said as he looked at the big iron gate that had been cleared out of the door, there were originally some vines entrenched on it, but after being cleared by Gao Chuan, the rest shrank to the sides as if avoiding risks. In chain detection, their source is in a hard-to-notice corner of the courtyard.

"No, are you alright?" The driver was still a little frightened. He hesitantly glanced at the Western-style pavilion in the depths of the courtyard, where the doors and windows were closed, but the moment he looked away, he felt that a flash of light illuminated a room, and the silhouette of a person was reflected in the window, which was terrifying.

He almost screamed. However, he still suppressed the fear in his heart and said to Takakawa, "I see it." ”

"Witch?" Gao Chuan also glanced at the Western-style Pavilion, but the Western-style Pavilion he saw was also closed with doors and windows, without the slightest smell of living things, and it had not even been taken care of at all, and the windowsill was also covered with dust.

"Yes, it's ......," the driver swallowed and said, "It's inside, it looks like a woman." ”

"Of course witches are women." Gao Chuan looked at him with strange eyes and said so.

"No, witches are just a catch-all term." The driver explained: "As far as I know, the witch is not explicitly gendered. Isn't it weird? ”

"Ah, it's a little." Although Takakawa thinks so, however, there are many strange and strange things in this world, using a word with strong sexual characteristics, such as "witch", to indicate a certain type of existence, without deliberately emphasizing its gender, whether in the story or in reality, it exists.

In the apocalyptic fantasy, the human language vocabulary is generated by the consciousness, and when the consciousness can directly manifest power, the language vocabulary naturally also has some kind of mysterious power, which in the occult is called "mantra" and "true name". Whenever an occult expert reveals his true name, revealing his mysterious powers is just as cautious as revealing his mysterious powers, but it is always difficult to completely prevent it.

Whether it is a "witch", VV, or W, when the three are combined, Takakawa believes that it has some mysterious power, and whether it is narrated or recorded, it will have some invisible influence. Especially when the other party is still a particularly powerful consciousness walker, the more profound it is.

At this time, Gao Chuan hesitated again, he seemed to think of one thing again, what he hesitated this time was the same thing as what he hesitated before, but what was wrong? This sudden, flash-of-a-kind hesitation made him not immediately push open the door, but turned around and pulled the driver away to a farther place.

It's about twenty or thirty meters.

The driver was confused and asked, "What is this going to do?" ”

"Ask you something." Gao Chuan said this, he suddenly thought of why he hesitated, that flash of inspiration, as if breaking through the layers of obstacles, jumped into his mind, made him have a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and at the same time felt troubled by it, "You think the witch is here, that's why you want to come, right?" ”

"Of course." Although the driver did not understand, he replied cheerfully.

"Why do you want to see a witch?" Takakawa reconfirmed.

"For my wife, of course." The driver said, "Didn't I tell you?" My wife's eyes were injured by radiation dust not long ago, and I don't want her to live in the dark for the rest of her life, not seeing anything. ”

"No!" Gao Chuan said categorically: "You told me a total of three times, but each time it was different. ”

The driver's face was a little unsightly, and he asked, "Tell me, what's different?" ”

"First, you mean sister, then daughter, then son, and now wife." Takakawa stared at the driver calmly and coldly, and said, "Ask you again, for whom did you go to see the witch?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense? When did I say that? I have no sister, no daughter, no son, and no marriage. The driver was not faking at all, and said with an angry expression: "I won't joke with my relatives, I came here to see the witch for my sister!" ”

Gao Chuan's eyes widened slightly, he carefully observed the driver, when he said these words, none of them were a manifestation of disobedience, as if he didn't understand how chaotic what he said, as if in his cognition, the relationship between the characters he said had always been undoubted.

Gao Chuan vaguely understood that a mysterious force was interfering with the driver's consciousness, and the "reason" that the driver said may not have been his own thought at all. Whether it is a sister, a daughter, a son, a wife, an older sister, or someone else, it doesn't matter who she is, what matters is that the driver has a "reason to go to the Western-style hotel". Under the urging of this given reason, he brought Takakawa to this western-style building.

Takakawa took a deep breath, and now, he felt a little that the identity of the protagonist was gradually transferring from this driver to himself. The driver, who is the "guide", has completed his mission, but if he is deemed to be no longer needed, he may be killed - Takakawa does not mind the driver's confused consciousness, he tries to find a way to help him, and of course, the last resort is to meet the owner of the foreign pavilion.

Gao Chuan pushed open the big iron door of the courtyard hard, and this time, he didn't hesitate at all. (To be continued.) )
