Haunted Places Live

Chu Yang glanced at Lynch strangely, but the latter greeted Professor Jiang familiarly, "Long time no see, how are you?"

Jiang Shitu struggled to get up from the oddly shaped recliner.His gray hair was disheveled and tangled, and his beard seemed to have not been shaved for a long time, but his body was thinned to a slightly exaggerated level. In the open nightgown, his legs exposed outside the shorts were like skeletons, and the joints looked terrifyingly large.He walked towards them a little slowly, looked at Lynch with an almost amazed look, and murmured, "I didn't expect...you really haven't changed at all..."

Chu Yang's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that this sentence had a deep meaning.However, Lynch didn't seem to be shy about anything, he smiled and opened his hands, "Yes, I said, I will always be like this."

Jiang Shitu shifted his gaze to Chu Yang, then looked at Lin Qi, suddenly sneered, turned his back and walked slowly towards a strangely shaped round table, "Is this your new toy?"

playing with...toys? !

Lin Qi turned his head and smiled consolingly at Chu Yang, then walked towards the unkempt old man with a weird temper, "Don't be so mean, doctor, he will spend a few days with you."

Jiang Shitu turned around suddenly, and cast a strange glance at Chu Yang, "He was also marked?"

"good."

"Oh. Are you sure how many days?"

"Well, we will prepare the ceremony for the new member's initiation and the stigmata acceptance ceremony as soon as possible, so probably only two days will be enough."

Jiang Shitu looked at Chu Yang, "How many days do you have?"

Chu Yang said, "Three days."

"Three days... that is to say, if the stigmata fails to accept, he will definitely die?"

Lin Qi didn't speak, and Chu Yang thought it was an acquiescence.

Chu Yang still doesn't know what the specific content of the ceremony is, and Lynch has been refusing to go into details. Even if he asked him what kind of thing would be parasitic in his body, Lynch's answer was simple and mysterious, " It's not us or you who choose them, they choose you."

If unsuccessful, he is devoured by the hounds.He didn't know what mood he was in at the moment, and he didn't even know whether he wanted the ceremony to succeed.

The doctor took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, took out a lighter and lit it, and glanced at Chu Yang, "What's your name?"

"Chu Yang."

"Chu Yang... I can't remember if there is anyone with the surname Chu among the big families of the Presbyterian Church... It seems that there is no one. It seems that you are not someone's descendant?" Jiang Shitu exhaled a puff of smoke and scratched it with his fingers His own nose, "How did you get marked? Did you also try to disrupt the order of other realities?"

Disrupt the order of other realities?He didn't know if they had entered the collapsing reality a few times before...

"The reality of the accident was largely an accident." Lin Qi glanced at Chu Yang, "I was also at fault, his observation ability was suddenly awakened by my formation, and it happened to be at a multi-observation point, so it was a bit The loss of control caused space fusion. At that time, the hound was hunting down another member of a small organization who was trying to enter another reality to disrupt the order, and it became a bit difficult to deal with... No way, he made a deal with the hound."

"trade?"

Lin Qi briefly described the process of the transaction, Jiang Shitu sneered, as if he had heard some extremely funny joke, looked at Chu Yang and said in a contemptuous tone, "I really shouldn't say whether you are kind or stupid."

A faint anger ignited in Chu Yang's heart, and he frowned slightly, but said nothing.Obviously this doctor has a bad temper, but when he thinks that he has lived in this spherical prison full of white all his life, he feels that there is really nothing to worry about.

"He doesn't like to talk? I don't want to live with a boring gourd for two days."

"He's just... a little shy."

Chu Yang glanced at Lin Qi who was talking for him, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Dr. Jiang, I'm not good at words. I've been bothering you for the past two days."

Jiang Shitu snorted, and waved his hand with a cigarette in the air a few times, "Anyway, the place is so big, you can use it yourself. The bed is mine, and you can sleep on the sofa." After speaking, he seemed to lose interest , Ignore them, sit back at the desk, open the lid of the laptop, pick up a certain book from the stack of books on the desk and start studying, typing a few words on the computer from time to time.

Lin Qi turned around and pulled Chu Yang aside, and said in a low voice, "I have to leave first to prepare for joining the club and accepting the stigmata. There are some procedures to go, you wait here for me, don't go out easily, it should be easier here Safety. If there is any problem..." He said, took out a white mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Chu Yang, "There is my phone number in it."

Chu Yang said, "I have a mobile phone."

"Your mobile phone cannot be used under special circumstances. This is a mobile phone owned by us Presbyterians, and you can't buy it outside." Lynch said, not forgetting to exaggerate in the exaggerated tone of a TV station shopping guide .Chu Yang smiled softly, took the phone over, "Thank you for helping me so much."

"You are my photography assistant. If you don't help me, where can I find someone as bold as you?" Lynch said, and suddenly moved his face closer.

Chu Yang was puzzled, "Why?"

Lynch pointed to his face, "I'm going to run errands for you soon, why don't you kiss me goodbye?"

Chu Yang's heart was beating slightly fast, and his face was hot, but he still pretended to be irritable and stretched out his hand to push Lin Qi's face away, "There are outsiders here, so don't make trouble."

"Is it okay when there are no outsiders?" Lin Qi teased, before Chu Yang made a gesture to kick someone, he quickly ran to the elevator door, and before leaving, he still didn't forget to turn around and blow him a kiss, "Don't miss me too much! "

Chu Yang rolled his eyes, smiled and shook his head.Turning his head to look at the old man who regarded him as air, he sighed softly.

These two days will probably be spent in embarrassment...

He actually had a lot of questions he wanted to ask the old man, because from the tone of his conversation with Lynch just now, they knew each other before?How did two people with such a big age gap meet each other?And he, a professor who studies ancient religions, why was he marked by hounds?However, the old man seemed to ignore him at all, and was busy writing something in front of the computer.He had no choice but to walk around by himself, figure out the location of the toilet and bathroom, and then drag his luggage near the oval sofa.

There is no kitchen here, maybe the food is delivered by the people above?

Who would have imagined that there would be such a strange space hidden underground in a quaint town.All the furniture here has no corners, and even the cabinets are octagonal, with a bulge on the top and a smooth connection to the ground below, as if growing out of the ground to ensure that all corners are greater than 120 degrees .At first glance, it makes people feel more and more like traveling through science fiction movies.

It's quirky, but well-appointed.In winter, the temperature in the house is still comfortable and pleasant.Chu Yang found Grandpa's diary from his luggage, and sat cross-legged on the ground.Lynch's papers are in the diary.On the plane, Chu Yang asked Lin Qi why he secretly took Grandpa's diary without telling him.Lynch's explanation was pretty much what he guessed.

"You obviously don't want to accept your grandpa's obvious real identity." Lynch said softly after taking a sip of the red wine that the flight attendant had just brought, "I knew from those tree branches, those books, and the sacrifice marks on the ground that he once belonged to The Presbyterian Church, and the observation level should not be low. However, since most of the multi-observers come from several fixed lineage chains, from the lineage chains that we know have four-level and five-level observers , I can’t find anyone with the surname Chu. So I want to know his real identity, and whether he has changed his name. In this way, the secrets about you can also be unlocked.”

"My secret?"

"Why did your power of observation go into a dormant state, how much potential do you have yet to release?" Lynch gently grabbed his wrist, "It's not accidental that these hands can play such a magical tune. "

Chu Yang lowered his eyes, his brows were filled with confusion, "Maybe it's a good thing to go into a dormant state. Are you sure you're not releasing something you shouldn't be releasing?"

"I'm sorry that I took your grandpa's diary secretly." Lynch looked at him seriously, "If you don't want me to continue to decipher, I won't touch it again."

Chu Yang looked at the endless sea of ​​white clouds rolling outside the window in silence. After a long silence, he finally said, "I see him take out this diary occasionally, and I always want to know what he is writing..." Especially in Before he passed away, he wanted to confirm now, was grandpa's death really a normal myocardial infarction?

Grandpa has too many secrets, secrets that he didn't have time to ask.

Lynch then laughed and said, "Okay, when it's all over, we'll figure it out together."

At this time, he carefully looked at Lynch's deciphered drafts, and couldn't piece together too much information with just a few words.In addition to that sentence, there is another sentence: The Elders will split... The conspiracy of the Chaos Temple...

Just watching, suddenly the elevator door opened, and the middle-aged man I saw outside just now came in with an incubator similar to a delivery box in his hand. He walked to an octagonal dining table and put the inside in a lunch box He took out all the dishes in the bowl, placed two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and then walked towards the elevator.Chu Yang thanked him, but he ignored him.

Jiang Shitu, who had been burying his head in writing, finally stretched out, put out the cigarette in his mouth in the half-full ashtray, and turned to him and said, "Eat, eat."

Chu Yang sat down at the dinner table a little cautiously. Out of respect for his seniors, he waited until the other party started to move his chopsticks before he picked up some potato shreds in front of him and put them in the rice bowl to eat.

"How did you and Lynch know each other?" Jiang Shitu asked, chewing on a chunk of beef.

Chu Yang roughly talked about how they met in the hotel, and Jiang Shitu snorted, "Do you know who he is?"

"He is a member of the Presbyterian Church, an investigator and an evangelist." Chu Yang said, and asked hesitantly, "How long have you known him?"

"How long...at least 30 years?" Jiang Shitu snorted as if he thought it was funny.

Wait... 30 years?

Chu Yang's eyes widened, "How is it possible? 30 years...was he born at that time?"

Jiang Shitu raised his eyebrows and looked at him amusedly, "You don't know?"

"Know what?" Chu Yang asked, but his mind had already thought of that old black and white photo.

The classic-looking British woman in the photo, and the boy who looked too similar to Lynch.

"The Lynch you know has been like this since I met him, and has never changed." Jiang Shitu said, picking up a piece of fish, and leisurely picked out the thorns inside with chopsticks, "He is his mother. The heir of Countess Mary, as long as he doesn't use too much star color to the point where he can't recover, he will remain in this state until the end of the world."

Chu Yang felt that he knew every word the other party said, but he couldn't understand the complete sentence.

Lynch... 30 years ago is what it is now?He will not grow old and die?

How can this be? !

"It's hard to believe, isn't it? I didn't believe it when I first found out about it. But...he is much older than me." Jiang Shitu seemed to find this fact very funny, and put the fish in his mouth while Chewing, while looking at Chu Yang's expression of shock beyond words with satisfaction.

Chu Yang hesitated, "I saw a photo, and I thought the person on it was his grandfather... There is a woman next to him, a British woman who looks like a classical oil painting, wearing a big skirt, her face And the veil."

"Ah, that should be his mother, Mary. Campbell, seems to be a certain British duchess, who has a certain royal blood. But he married an oriental man who knew witchcraft, so he gradually severed ties with the family." Jiang As Shitu said, he stood up, took out a notebook from his desk, flipped through it, took out reading glasses and put it on, "Ah, yes, it is Mary Campbell, a descendant of the Duke of Argyll, who later married The Orientals were later deprived of their royal titles, and it seems that they later became very famous singers, who were given the nickname Dame Mary. It was around 1919, and her singing was described as 'crazy sounds of nature'."
