Mike's heart beats wildly, but on the surface it is silent.

He said goodbye to his friend's ex-wife and left his friend's home.

Mike now just wants to go back to his home and find out what the secret of the painting is!

A week passed, and Mike returned to his home.

Due to the long absence from home, there is a bit of dust in the house, but Mike doesn't care.

He found the painting from the warehouse.

Since he didn't care much about this painting when he was a child, his memory was not very clear, and it was not until he found the painting now that Mike realized that the painting was so intact!

I don't know what kind of paper this painting was drawn on, but the lines on it have not been blurred until now.

It seems that not only the paper, but also the ink is not simple.

Perhaps, even the person who painted this picture is not an ordinary person.

Mike looked at the painting, the scenery was very realistic, and a heavy atmosphere of the mountains came to his face, as if the mountain was about to fly out of the painting!

Looking at it, Mike vaguely seemed to see that there seemed to be something on the mountain peak in this painting.

What is it?

Mike's face grew closer and closer to the painting, and it wasn't until his nose touched the cold glass that he came to his senses.

Mike shook his head, he was in a trance for a while, and in the trance he seemed to see something······

Mike places the painting on the table.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry!"

Mike removed the painting from the frame.

At the same time, Mike also took out the letter that his friend had given him.

The envelope was opened, and inside were several thick maps folded together.

Mike picks up the maps and finds that they have been marked with markers, drawing a path on the map, and the final destination Mike does not know.

But his intuition tells Mike that the destination is probably the mountain in this painting!

In addition to the map, there is also a letter.

There wasn't much on the letter.

Just tell him to follow the road on the map and he will leave markers along the way.

But what happened after that, the letter did not say it.

That's a bit of a tiger's tail.

Didn't you say wait for him to set off with you? How did you get off early?

And more than a month has passed since Mike's back and forth, and for such a long time, his friend doesn't know what happened in the forest.

And, though, judging from the information available, his friend didn't seem to be doing much.

Now I'm looking for a secret in the jungle.

But is this really the case?

【The Place of the Gods】

Mike looked at the back of the picture that had been removed from the frame, and there were a few small letters in the lower right corner.

And this is the kind of word that Mike just knew, and it was the script used by a kingdom that had been extinct for hundreds of years.

If it weren't for Mike's love of collecting all kinds of strange objects, and learning a lot of useful and useless knowledge in order to recognize the origin of those things, he probably wouldn't have recognized this kind of writing.

But because I recognized it, it was wrong!

According to his grandfather, the painting had been passed down in their family for hundreds of years, just in time to coincide with the fall of that kingdom.

Mike wasn't surprised that his own family might be descendants of that kingdom.

How many years has it been? Still engaged in bloodline?

What he was really surprised about was that it had been hundreds of years, and their family had not been broken!

And when you think about it, it seems that their family is quite rich, and he has never been troubled by money.

His father would put a sum of money into his account every month, although a few years ago his father had stopped sending him money because he had not had a girlfriend.

But the money before was enough for him to squander for a long time, so Mike was not in a hurry.

When you're really short of money, you're trying to figure out a way.

But now the question is, is this really all there is to the painting?

Mike always felt that there was a secret in the painting that he hadn't discovered.

Mike thought that some special words needed special means to be able to manifest.

For example, strong light exposure, fire, immersion in water, etc······

Mike looked down at the painting on the table, still not putting the idea in his head into reality.

If he really did, he was afraid that his grandfather would come to him when he slept at night.

He knew how much his grandfather cherished the painting, and his father proved it himself, and it left a deep psychological shadow.

That's why the painting will eat dust here.

"It doesn't work with strong light, fire, or flooding, but it's ······"

Mike sounded, and the totems of certain tribes will show some special patterns after encountering the blood of that tribesman.

If the painting had been handed down by his ancestors, and there was any secret to it, then it would have changed if it had been dripped on the painting with his blood.

Of course, there is another possibility that the painting was obtained by his ancestors from unknown places.

After all, hundreds of years ago, the kingdom fell, and the devil knows where exactly this painting came from.

If the latter is possible, then Mike has no choice.

So, Mike found a needle and pricked it in his fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it on the back of the painting.

At first, Mike wanted to drop on the front of the painting, but just as he was about to drip, Mike's grandfather's kind face appeared in front of his eyes, so he silently turned the painting over.

And when Mike dripped his own blood on the back of the painting, the back of the painting immediately changed, and some lines suddenly appeared on the back of the painting, which was originally a little yellow.

Vaguely, Mike seemed to see some people kneeling on the ground, as if they were worshipping something.

At this moment, Mike didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

It turns out that his ancestors are really not ordinary people.

There must be some secret to his ancestors, and it has to do with that mountain!

Mike looked at the picture that only showed more than one-twentieth of the picture, and gritted his teeth and punctured the other fingers, dripping blood on the back of the painting.

As the blood dripped down, a picture of a sacrifice appeared on the back of the painting.

In a trance, as the picture became complete, Mike seemed to see the painting come alive.

He saw that the people in this painting were moving, showing Mike how the ancients worshipped evil gods, and the fanaticism on the faces of those people was so clear that it made Mike shudder!

At this time, Mike saw that the person who was presiding over the sacrifice glanced at him.

“！！！”

Mike was startled, but when he came back to his senses, the back of the painting had changed back to its original yellowish appearance, and it had become ordinary again.

Mike stroked the painting, knowing that it was not a hallucination!
