Wu Tian, who was confused, hurriedly walked out of the hall and found that it was dark outside, and the last trace of the slanting sun had been blocked by the high wall, making the courtyard even more gloomy.

Looking at the huge courtyard, it was already empty, and it seemed extremely empty, and the sense of terror brought about by the haunted incident was spreading silently.

Standing at the top of the stairs, thinking about the haunted things in their heads, is it so serious that people are terrified? is it enough to make believers who were extremely devout a second ago lose their faith and flee in a hurry?

Wu Tian stood for a long time, like a king inspecting his territory, with a heroic and domineering attitude.

"Hey, are you going or not!"

At the foot of the stairs was the young guide priest just now, and the calm on his face also disappeared, and anxiety and nervousness suddenly appeared on his face, which seemed extremely incommensurate with his identity, and he rebuked angrily in an unceremonious and fierce tone.

Wu Tian, who knew that he was unreasonable, did not dare to explain any more, lowered his head and ran down the stairs, and after saying hello to the priest, he walked out of the courtyard tower gate and left the temple, and behind him was the sound of doors closing.

Looking at the empty streets, he couldn't believe that the scene that was still lively and extraordinary during the day could become so empty and bleak in an instant.

Except for the stall owners, who are scrambling to clean up their stalls, there are no more pedestrians wandering.

Imperial soldiers armed with sharp weapons began to patrol the temple perimeter, their expressions serious, their faces showing no sign of relaxation, and everyone was in full formation.

The rows of houses across the street, whose doors have closed at some point, seem to be intended to ward off the intrusion of the haunted event.

The entire area around the temple was shrouded in a dead panic, as if before a storm, making people feel extremely depressed, unable to breathe normally, and suffocating here.

It is like the darkness before dawn, which cannot be seen and touched, and everything is hidden in the unknown, and it is precisely because of this unknown that the fear in people's hearts is even greater.

Wandering alone on the streets, Wu Tian's restless heart hangs, he doesn't know where to put it, he also wants to find a place to hide, eat and sleep, and care about so many messy trivial things.

It's just that you can't go back, after all, there is still a mission in you, not only the mission assigned by God, but also the responsibilities of the time detective, because he deeply feels that the fluctuating things may have an inseparable relationship with the "haunting" that people say in their mouths.

Wu Tian comforted himself in his heart: No, no, no haunted incident, it must be made up by those stupid primitive people to scare themselves.

He has been cheering himself up like this, and has been constantly self-suggesting, not to mention, this trick really works, and his heart has finally calmed down.

Now in Wu Tian's heart, in addition to the uneasiness that has not dissipated, there is a looming expectation from time to time, which is the source of the motivation that has always maintained his progress.

As if he had been reborn, he began his investigation with cautious steps.

"Young man, it's so late, it's going to be a stay, come on, come in. ”

Wu Tian looked at the man who spoke, he was obese, but it was by no means the kind of healthy obesity, and his eyes were bloodshot in his black sockets.

He ran towards Wu Tian with a smile on his face, showing great enthusiasm, shouting and asking for warmth, and pulling and pulling, wanting to drag people directly to his inn.

"Eh, boss, I'm ......"

Wu Tian, who was at a loss, resisted and refused at the same time, isn't this a naked road-blocking, robbing, and stealing customers in a black shop?

"Young man, I saw that you came from out of town, you don't know the situation here, now that it's dark, it's dangerous after night!" he said sneakily in a gentle and persuasive tone while pulling Wu Tian, for fear that the guest would run away as soon as he let go.

Wu Tian looked at him, knowing that he was alluding to the haunting event, but he was still hesitating, feeling that this fat man was a little unreliable, and the excessive enthusiasm he showed showed that his purpose was not pure.

So he said tentatively: "But I don't have much money......

"It's not expensive, it's definitely affordable. And there is no other place to stay in this neighborhood except mine, are you going to sleep on the streets?" he came closer, and continued in a very light tone: "Those ghosts are very ferocious, they have already injured and killed more than a dozen people, and it is too dangerous for you to be alone outside, aren't you afraid......

Wu Tian's defense line was gradually attacked under the soft grinding and hard bubble of the other party, and he was obediently pulled into the house, and then the boss closed the door of the store, and hurriedly moved a stool to deliver clean water, taking care of it very thoughtfully.

Although he was still struggling in his heart, since he had already boarded the thief ship, he could only see walking, at least temporarily finding a place to stay.

Observing this place of accommodation carefully, Wu Tian found that the house was very spacious, divided into two floors, with a total of 10 rooms, but all of them were open, not like someone staying in the house, and there was no popularity.

"Boss, how do you feel like I'm just a guest......"

"No, it's all over the city, and my business is running out. It used to be full every day, but now there are no guests for many days! People from other places come early and go back early, who will stay here until the evening!"

The boss's angry eyes and teeth were clearly visible on that fat face, and the caution he had just been with talking about the haunting in the street was gone, and he was now venting his anger without any scruples.

Wu Tian thought to himself: This boss is really unkind to speak...... Maybe it's really only someone like me, who doesn't know anything, and comes from an alien planet, who wanders so stupidly until the night.

For his hard-earned guests, it's no wonder he has to show such a warm attitude.

Looking at the other party, the fat figure really confirmed the previous scenery, and the bloodshot eyes saw how much burden and pressure the recent difficulties had caused him.

Of course, this is just Wu Tian's speculation.

"Boss, what the hell is going on with this haunting?"

"I also want to know what's going on! How can I still do this business! Half a year ago, when I saw that the temple had just been built, countless people came to pray, so I opened this inn for lodging, and I wanted to make a little money. Who knew that since last month, this haunting has made me worry about it......"

The innkeeper was completely immersed in his grief and poured out his bitterness.

"Has anyone ever seen a ghost?"

"Who dares to do these things secretly, but to hear from a seriously wounded soldier that there is only a fire, and that fire has been chasing him. Those who died were burned alive. It was a ghost fire. Conscious ghost fire!"

"That ghost fire shows up every night?"

"Of course not, it's elusive, and no one can guess where it is. ”

Wu Tian listened to the innkeeper's description, and from a scientific point of view, he seemed to have found another more reasonable explanation.

I remember that the junior high school chemistry teacher introduced it to them: ghost fires generally appear in graves, because human bones contain phosphorus, and after the corpse decays, it will produce a substance called phosphide, which has a very low ignition point and is easy to spontaneously combust.

When pedestrians walk through during the dry summer season, the pressure decreases due to the high flow velocity, and ghost fires are born, so the so-called ghost fire is nothing more than "phosphorus fire".

And back to the current ancient Egyptian temple, who knows how many dead people were buried below, coupled with the arid climate, it is normal to produce ghost fires from time to time, but I didn't expect a single ghost fire to scare them like this!

Sure enough, knowledge can change fate, and it seems that the book is not in vain. The remaining uneasiness in Wu Tian's heart was gradually erased, perhaps the problem was not complicated, for a modern person with a scientific background.

"Hauntings only happen near the temple, right?"

People say that this is a great disrespect to the Most High God, and that they dare to go wild in his temple. The Most High God is the Lord of the world, and He has given us all things, and He can never spare them, whether they are human beings or ghosts, they must obey God. ”

Seeing Wu Tian in a daze, he thought it was too nervous, so the innkeeper comforted him: "You don't have to worry about being afraid, as long as you stay in the house and don't run around, there will definitely be no accident, so far, no ordinary people have been harmed, and the imperial soldiers patrolling near the temple have suffered again and again." ”

After a pause, as if remembering something, he added, "And yesterday the priest had solemnly announced that the High God was furious when he learned of this, and decided to send a master of the night watch to deal with the matter, believing that the haunted incident would soon be over." ”

"This night watchman...... Isn't it amazing?"

"Oh, you don't know! I guess you're coming from far away. Have you seen the twelve statues in the temple? That's the twelve Night's Watchmen! They are members of the family of gods, and they have supreme divine skills like the supreme gods and the four gods. As long as they take action, there is no problem that cannot be solved!" His tone was full of affirmation, sincerity, and great trust in God.

Divine Magic!?

Isn't it a dream to throw off a lightning bolt and take someone's life thousands of miles away!?

Wu Tian wondered what kind of existence the so-called divine art was.

"Okay, okay, don't be in a daze. I only need 3 copper deben for one night to stay, and I can eat. You go and pick your own room first. ”

Wu Tian didn't know anything about copper and virtue at all, thinking that he should stay here for the next few days, so he casually threw a large ingot of silver to him.

"It's enough to stay for a few days. ”

"Enough, enough. ”

The innkeeper's eyes lit up. Keep rubbing your hands.

Thinking that he might have to go out to investigate in the middle of the night, he chose a room on the first floor, the only room with a large window, at first the boss still firmly disagreed, worried about safety, and finally under Wu Tian's repeated insistence and the lure of money, he compromised.

Before leaving, the boss repeatedly emphasized that he must close the window and not run around at night, and then panicked as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Whatever you hear in the middle of the night, pretend not to hear it, because as long as the temple bell rings, something will happen that night, but the priests in the temple have repeatedly insisted that no one rings the bell at all, so people say that the ghost is ringing the bell and ringing the horn of slaughter!"

I didn't bother to listen to the other party's ramblings anymore, so I closed the door.

In the end, Wu Tian was finally left alone.
