Chapter Eleven: Ghosts in the Forest
What special period does Xing Tianyu think of?
"What you said is that 'they' are coming back, right?" Xing Tianyu asked with some suggestion.
The ancient summoner spirit seemed a little surprised when he heard this. It looked at Xing Tianyu with a scrutiny look, "It seems you know something."
"Haha, just a little bit." Xing Tianyu didn't say much, but asked Sivia, "So which one should we start with?"
"Let's start with mine first." Sivia said. "It's easy to start first and then difficult to do it."
The two set off. Of course, before leaving, they did not forget to introduce Sam and the ancient summoner spirit to each other, because before the two people's mission was completed, the two guys still needed to stay at Sivia's house for a while. Instead of teleporting with magic, they set off in Sivia's Hummer.
Two days later Plitt Town:
This town is located in a very remote area of Iowa, which is completely different from a big city like New York. Before we arrived at the town, the surrounding natural environment began to gradually become fresh and green, with green fields and forests everywhere, making Xing Tianyu clearly realize that he was entering a remote area.
As soon as they entered the town, Xing Tianyu found that the atmosphere in the town seemed to be a little wrong. The two of them stayed in the hotel first and then started to investigate. The most convenient target for investigation was naturally the hotel owner. However, when the two came to the bar, they found that someone seemed to have taken the lead.
Two guys in black suits were sitting at the bar and teasing the hotel owner. One was tall, thin, with glasses, the other was a little short and strong. The tall guy was posing in a romantic style, "Beauty, we just came to this town. Can you give us some advice?"
The boss lady looked at the two of them with a bad expression, "What are you two?"
The tall and thin man introduced himself, "My name is Simon, he is Charlie, and we are suspense novel writers. Recently, I heard that there have been many bizarre events around here, so I want to find inspiration."
The boss lady showed a hint of sneer on her face, "Are you a writer? Why not talk about what books you have written before? Maybe I have read them?"
The two of them immediately showed an awkward expression, and Simon said, "Well, we have just started writing and have not published any works." Charlie on the other side patted his shoulder, stopping Simon's poor lies. He took out a golden document from his pocket.
"In fact, we are FBI, and there is one thing you need to cooperate with the investigation."
The boss's face suddenly became solemn, with a hint of instinctive vigilance, and said embarrassedly, "It turns out it's FBI, so what do you two want to ask?"
"We heard that some supernatural events have occurred nearby. Is this true?"
The boss lady nodded, "There are some strange things, I don't know if it's considered a supernatural event. I guess someone is probably playing pranks. People rumored that there is a god living in the nearby forest, a pagan god worshipped by Indians, or an ancient ghost living in the forest. In short, it's very mysterious. If you take food into the forest and have good luck, you will find an ancient altar. If you put food on the altar, the pagan god will appear. If it accepts your gift, in return, it will fulfill your wish.
This rumor suddenly emerged in recent years, and it was spread vividly. Of course, there is a little trick here. After you put the food on the altar, you need to hide secretly. When it comes out to eat, you suddenly jump out and say that it has stole your things, so that it can only realize your wish."
The boss lady was very knowledgeable, but at the end, she smiled again, "Of course, these are just ridiculous rumors. I am very familiar with the forest. I often go there when I was a child. There are no pagan gods or altars, only coyotes and deer. If you are not lucky, you can meet bears or something."
Simon frowned, "So how did that rumor come about?"
The boss's wife shrugged, "Who knows, maybe someone made it to enhance the tourism industry and attract tourists."
The two fbi arrow bosses said this and could only nod their heads and leave.
Xing Tianyu and Sivia looked at each other and realized their thoughts. It seemed that the so-called Indian god should be the prayer elves. The two FBI questions saved the trouble of both of them.
The two walked on the streets of the town. Sivia looked at the empty and quiet streets and suddenly couldn't help asking, "By the way, if the prayer elves are so effective, should we just make a wish? After all, our ultimate goal is to summon the Lamp God, and the purpose of summoning the Lamp God is just to make a wish."
Xing Tianyu didn't expect Sivia to say this, "With that being said, the prayer elves should not be as strong as the magic power of the Lamp God, right?"
"But we don't have to share our wishes with others."
"Let's see if it can really realize its wish. Don't forget that the ancient summoner spirit said that the prayer elves would distort human wishes." The two said, and suddenly the ruins of a house appeared in front of them. A group of residents of the town were plundering something from the ashes, and the two fbi were also there.
"What are they doing?" Xing Tianyu asked at a child next to him who was riding on a bicycle and supporting the ground.
The child looked him up and down, then looked at Sivia, showing a lustful expression that was completely inconsistent with his age.
"Fifty dollars."
"What?"
"I'll tell you or show me your breasts to me," said Sivia in the next half.
Sivia laughed without being angry when she heard this. She bent down and gently touched the child's hair. Just as the child showed an expression of enjoyment, she suddenly grabbed the child's neck.
"There's a hundred dollars here. Before I squeeze your brain out of your nostrils, tell me everything you know."
The child's face turned red when he was pinched, and he was so scared that he hurriedly said it all like a cannon.
"They were looking for gold. Old Henry had a lot of gold. It is said that he had met the god in the forest and made a wish to become a billionaire. As a result, when he returned home, an archaeological team came to the town. It turned out that there was an ancient Mayan ruin in this town, and his house was located on the top of the ruins. The archaeological team dug up many Mayan gold vessels from under his house. However, Old Henry hid some secretly. Then a few days ago, Old Henry suddenly caught a fire, which may be caused by drunkenness. Then Henry was burned to death. Everyone was looking for the gold hidden by Old Henry, a group of fools, so the government would not leave the gold."
Xing Tianyu thought to himself that this was the case. As soon as Sivia let go, the child turned around and ran away. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away the one hundred dollars.
"It seems that what the ancient summoner spirit said is true. The prayer elves twisted their wishes and killed those who made their wishes."
Sivia shook her head: "It may not be, maybe it's just a bad luck. Many people who have made fortunes have died of misfortune. I think we can ask more people. Since there is such a legend, I believe that many people must have made wishes in the forest."
"Good idea." Xing Tianyu nodded, and the two of them started inquiring while walking.
However, it seems that the people in this town seemed a little vigilant about this matter. After asking several people, they were vague and unwilling to talk in depth. Without any trouble, Xing Tianyu had to use the method of staring again.
"Tell me, who else in your town has met the god in the forest and made a wish." Xing Tianyu asked at the baker in his forties in front of him.
The baker fan glared for a while, "Let me think about it, oh by the way, I really deserve the rumors about this. There is an old man named MacDonald. He said that he had met the god in the forest. He wished that he could live two hundred years old. He had not died yet after living at the age of 138. He could not stand up even if he was old. He lay on a bench every day to bask in the sun, but he could not die. However, he seemed to be more painful than death. Because he lived too long, his sons and grandsons, all his peers were gone. Now he lives with his great-grandson, but it seems that his great-grandson is about to die."
The baker shook his head with emotion.
"There is another woman. She raised a dog when she was a child. The dog was almost dying. One day, she also met the god in the forest. As a result, she made a wish that her dog would be with her forever. As a result, her dog survived, and the bigger it grew, the more fierce it became. Moreover, this dog was very cautious and did not allow anyone to contact the girl. As a result, the girl was in her forties and still had no relationship. The woman was named Joanna. She often wandered in the forest, wanting to find the god and take back her wish, but it seemed that it was a long time.
Of course, these are just what I heard of, they are all rumors that have been a long time ago. I only heard of them after I came to this town. I can't say whether it is true or false. However, I have indeed seen those two people, that old man MacDonald, the woman named Joanna and her fierce old dog.
