Chapter 102: The Investigator's Extra Story: The First Night (Part 2)
"In other words, this kind of witchcraft is effective at the same time?" Nick said in surprise: "I thought they were all like Strange. What are the witchcrafts like this? I will know how to deal with them in the future!"
"Many, most folk magics, Meishan in China, Black Mass in Russia, Black Witchcraft in Africa, and some witchcraft in Voodoo, including divine art! Divine art requires faith to exert its power, and it is also a kind of willpower. Whether it is Satan or Jesus, many of the mass magics used by their churches belong to this category."
Nick skillfully wore gloves. He wore a black dress and even a black sweatshirt with a hood. Chen Ang smiled and said, "Why are you wearing those things? Although you are bald, you are not reflective. In fact, you go out naked, as long as you don't turn on the light, no one can see you!"
"If you say this to me in other places, I will warn you about racism!" Nick pointed at Chen Ang.
"Where is this?" Chen Ang raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"Here!" Nick recalled the unpleasant experiences on the road here and cursed: "In Louisiana, this is already a friendly and friendly remark to black people! There are black people everywhere here, and the white people still look at me with his mother. I always ask myself in confusion, is the South not liberated yet?"
Nick raised the tactical flashlight in his hand and said, "Are you going out like this? I feel like two stupid thieves in the night tour!"
"Don't disturb them..." Chen Ang held up his flashlight and stepped out of the door. The dim lights in the corridor illuminated their blurry shadows. They walked down the first floor and began to search separately with the first floor lobby as the dividing line. Chen Ang used tactical sign language to tell Nick that he was on the left and on his right.
Nick used the flashlight and touched the left.
He actually had some doubts in his heart why Chen Ang asked him to come here? The two big guys of the Dignified Aggressive Shield and Saint Shield were exploring in an ancient (for Americans) house like second-rate detectives. He knew that Chen Ang seemed to be looking for something. They had a tacit understanding.
When some clues showed that the house and the owner of the house were strange, Nick had no reason not to play the previous game with Chen Ang.
In particular, some signs reveal a very important information. The secrets in this house are related to Voodoo.
Nick knew that among the five seals that gave ASCHUAN and Saint Shield a headache, there was one from Voodoo, which made Nick feel that it had nothing to do with the seal.
Nick pushed open the first door from the left of the porch and saw two figures in the dark room at the door. At first glance, he saw the black figure standing close to the door, which made Nick almost use his joint skills and twist its head, but soon Nick came to his senses and found that it was just two dolls, who were made of straw with pillow sets.
At a glance, there are still eyebrows and eyes, but when you look closely, it becomes even more terrifying.
The flashlight shone up from the bottom of the doll, and the light from bottom to top hits the face. Because of the uncanny valley effect and the shadow effect of the light, it looks very ferocious. In the dark old house, it is even more terrifying, but Nick is like seeing a familiar friend, clamping the doll's neck with his arms on his back, if it is still considered a neck.
Nick smelled the strange smell on the dummy. He leaned closer and smelled it a few times, then pulled out the dagger, opened the pillowcase and exposed the human figure of the straw baled inside. He stabbed the dummy with one knife and found that the scarecrow was covered with lime, like the dry internal organs of an animal.
There is also sulfur. What he just smelled was the smell of sulfur.
Nick searched the room quickly and carefully and found that there was nothing inside, but he found a few smaller puppets. He came to the next room. This time he was prepared, but when he opened the door, the dummy hanging at the door still surprised him. The dummy was wrapped around his neck and hung it through the ceiling light.
This time, the dummy was much more delicate. It was a plastic model with her hands twisted behind her and her neck was slanted. Nick had a strange feeling. This dummy seemed to be a little different from the one in the previous house. Although the dummy in the previous house looked like a dead object, this sentence was much more refined, but at first glance it actually gave Nick a feeling of life.
When he just opened the door, Nick swore as his identity as the King of Agents that he would never mess with the difference between a dummy and a corpse. He killed many corpses than ordinary people have seen.
But this time he got confused! He almost thought it was a hanging corpse, so he was shocked.
Nick observed the dummy carefully. The dummy he noticed had a unique vitality, in other words, artistic expression. At a glance, there was no difference, but Nick was sure that if he showed it to those artists, they could discover the vitality of the dummy. In other words, an ordinary dummy was just a prop, but this here looked like a work of art.
Works of art usually give people a vague feeling, showing something inner and living.
Nick noticed this kind of thing, and he saw the dummy's struggle, hanging in the air, struggling constantly. It was fearful and releasing inner tension. It appeared at the door, as if it was on guard against something. Then the thing opened the door and came in, and it was hung in mid-air, struggling and resisting this kind of thing.
Then it is swallowed, eroded by...!
Feeling this, Nick suddenly felt that the touch of his dummy had changed. He was no longer the stiff, elastic plastic, but cold and smooth, like a human skin without temperature. A strong odor came from his mouth and nose. Nick felt that the dummy he grabbed began to stick to him tightly.
Its hands began to grab itself!
But he still has time to observe this room. This is a room where someone has lived. There were traces of human activities not long ago, and countless tiny details show this.
Nick believed in his observation ability. At this time, his cold and slippery body had slipped into his chest, as if the corpse was soaked in water was taken out, and then he was stuck with him. Nick had felt the touch of various corpses, including men, women, old, young, burned, drowned, suicide, homicide, rotten, fresh!
At this moment, he had no fluctuations in his heart, and he even had the urge to hold it and sleep.
But his reason prevented him from continuing to do such a crazy move, so Nick had to put his big hand into the doll's hair, groping between the slender neck of the collarbone, and then twisting his hands slightly, twisting the plastic doll's head off. He grabbed the doll's head in his hand, making a random shot pose as if he was grabbing a basketball.
The big black man's hand can hold a basketball firmly in his hand. Compared to this, the head of a smaller woman is nothing.
He threw the doll's head out, bounced against the wall, and Nick took it in his hand again. He performed a shooting action immediately and dribbled the ball under his crotch, three steps into the blue, and a long three-pointer...
The doll's hair was wrapped around his hands, as if protesting something.
Chen Ang's voice came from behind him. His eyes looked at Nick with a bit of weird look at the pervert: "When are you going to play?"
"You've finished checking?" Nick said in surprise.
"I'm not as slow as you... interested." Chen Ang said: "Every room has puppets, of various materials, but there are traces of someone living in a room, and the puppets in that room are also a bit strange!"
Nick hung the head in his hand around his waist and asked, "What's strange about me too?"
"That was a leather doll, which looked like human skin in my experience!" Chen Ang said lightly.
Nick signaled the head of the doll tied around his waist and said, "I seem to be moving!"
"And..." Nick hesitated for a while, "It seems that something is looking for something in this room, and the dolls are like guards guarding these rooms. Once those things come in, they will catch the dolls, and the target they are looking for can escape. What do you think those things are looking for?"
Chen Ang smiled and said, "Of course it's the person who lives in the room...or something that is not a human!"
"Two people lived in a room!" Nick threw the doll's head and was squirming and crawling on the ground. This scene could scare people from a heart attack, but the two in the room didn't care.
"There are strange dolls in the room, and it seems to be protecting the people in the room. All dolls have traces of witchcraft. But the two rooms that have lived in people are the most different." Nick sneered: "Let's check the remaining rooms on the first floor!"
