Chen Ang’s choice apparently made Luke’s lawyer somewhat surprised. He carefully observed Chen Ang for a while before they started talking: “Of course, Mr. Constantine. This master key can open all the doors of this house… ”

Chen Ang didn’t seem to react, still smiling: “My request is abrupt!”

“But who will have a plot for this house?” Luke lawyer said with a smile: “This house may have been valuable in the past, but it is very old. It has lived for more than four generations. We don’t have the money to guarantee this big house, so it’s already ragged, and here is a country town – it’s not worth it!”

Nick interrupted: “But in this old house, there must be a lot of antiques! It’s a very valuable thing! So this key can’t be given to him…”

Luke lawyer said with a slight smile: “The two are worthy of trust, and the two hundred thousand heritage can give us a lot of help – we are leaving after we are going to get the estate, we are getting older! We need better medical and pension conditions, and with that money, we plan to move to New Orleans.”

“Moreover, all the antiques were collected by us and placed in a house in the attic. There was a door in this house that could not be opened with a master key only one after another.”

Chen Ang no trace of politeness received the key, thanked: “Thank you for your generosity, and your conversation is really enjoyable. You are a knowledgeable and talented person, for the history and changes of the town, you Just like witnessing it. I am very interested in history. This house has a long history. It is like a gallery of time, some old times styles and features, which are very well preserved here… Have a look at it?”

Lawyer Luke welcomed: “After eating dinner, you can browse freely. It is too old! In addition to history, nothing is there!”

Several people leaned in front of the fireplace and chatted for a while. They used dinner at the restaurant. The dinner was a chickpea with mashed potatoes. It was a classic country style. After dinner, Luke lawyers said, “I am used to eating.” After a long night of supper, you know – the habit of the countryman, the nightlife here is very boring, usually sleeping very early!”

Chen Ang and Nick looked at each other and nodded and said that understanding – the gap between the American city and the country town is very serious, the international metropolis sings night and night, has a developed nightlife, but the country town is simple and boring, The traditional Puritan lifestyle still dominates here, although the country towns are now dominated by entertainment – ​​young people’s parties and entertainment are no worse than the city.

But the couple is very traditional – they are traditionally like the most conservative American Puritans.

Some of the hunchback hostess brought Chen Ang to the room where they were resting. The room was on the second floor, and the door opened a faint smell of mildew. The house was quite big, although it was somewhat moldy, it was clean. Chen Ang touched the table and there was no gray at all.

This is rare, this is a big house with 30 houses.

And Chen Ang came suddenly – he had an afternoon before Nick, without any prior notice.

Everyone who lives in a big house knows that it is unrealistic to maintain the house for a long time. The kitchen without fire habits will fall into gray. As long as it is not used, the corners of the sleeping bedroom will be dusty. Young people’s room, let alone two widowed middle-aged couples.

How can they have the energy to clean up more than 30 rooms? – This should be covered with white cloth everywhere, and most of the unused rooms will be sealed up.

Chen Ang puts his luggage and goes to Nick. Nick lives next door to him. When he first stepped in, he found that it was also very clean – there was a musty smell, but there was no dust, even if there were no corners.

Nick didn’t talk about Chen Ang suddenly calling him here, but like chatting, naturally from Chen Ang, some of the information about the owner of this house, their ingenuity, exchange of a lot of information, but Very natural, and at the same time, the content of oneself is not disclosed.

It is enough for the eavesdropper to know nothing.

“There are many portraits and sculptures of religious symbols, including the Virgin, the Son, and some Bible characters.” Nick played with with a smile: “You should be very interested!”

“I’m even more curious…” Chen Ang pointed to the top of the big bed in Nick’s room, the thing hanging from the right ceiling, it was a button with a button, about the size of a doll, the doll’s The other parts of the face—the nose and the mouth—were painted with graffiti-like brushes.

“How do you feel when you are lying in bed and open your eyes and look at this thing?”

Nick was not afraid, but Chen Ang said that he was still curious. He lay back, a black bald head fell on the bed, his eyes were facing the doll’s position: “It’s pretty cute…if I There is a daughter. I will play with her with the doll, you know that I will be the kind of father who can put down the body and have good affinity.”

“You have to have a daughter first!” Chen Ang is not salty or weak.

“And, before you have a daughter, you must have a wife first, but you don’t…”

Nick lay on the bed and said: “I just went to the toilet. Can you imagine? This big house doesn’t even have a mirror! I was curious and asked the woman who brought me over. She said: The mirror is the door. , will let you see bad things, want to live alone in such a place, it is best not to see the mirror. So…”

“So she sneaked over your luggage?” Chen Ang calmly said.

“She has very light hands and feet, but I can still find it… It’s not easy for me to want to marry me.” Nick said: “Sound, she also turned your luggage. But the secret of our people will not So easily found… is she looking for a mirror?”

“What the superstitious old man is doing is possible!” Chen Ang does not seem strange.

“And you smell it?” Nick rushed his nose and climbed up to sniff. He turned his head and said to Chen Ang: “There is a faint smell here… There are many kinds of odors, and I am very familiar with this kind. The relaxed expression on Nick’s face gradually changed. His eyes were sharp at this moment, but this feeling quickly disappeared.

He became a black man who likes to be funny.

Chen Ang walked around the house. He used his feet to pick up the ground floor. He used the white and red powder to draw two lines under the street stall, blocking the door.

“Does this have any special meaning?” Nick asked.

“Salt can block evil damage, and the red brick powder has the effect of blocking the enemy’s approach in Haitian witchcraft.” Chen Ang licked the white powder and easily determined that it was salt – and it was still unfiltered. The coarse salt, red brick powder is somewhat difficult to judge, but fortunately he is familiar with the mysterious culture of various countries and regions.

“We usually use cinnabar!” Chen Ang put down the carpet.

“It’s useful for cinnabar, or salt and red brick.” Nick curiously asked: “I have never seen you doing a case! I want to say that when I saw your resume, I was really startled.”

“It’s useful in the hands of experts. We follow the rules…”

“Hey! Tell me the truth!” Nick said: “Now we are partners, aren’t we? Tell me some secrets about your industry!”

Chen Ang helplessly said: “Okay! I said something… In folk witchcraft, there is a principle that is important – there is a letter, no faith, no! Some magic depends on energy, like Kama Taj, The mages collect energy and make energy into weapons, so I say they act according to the rules. But there are some magic, they rely on faith to play.”

“The wizard’s will let it take effect!”

“So at that time, the will of the subject is also very important. Once you don’t believe in witchcraft, its formidable power will drop greatly, because world is material, witchcraft is conscious, and consciousness can act on consciousness. But it is difficult to act on matter.”

“So, strengthen your beliefs.”
