Song Jiang told Meng Zhe the life story of the mute ghost in detail. Of course, he deliberately omitted the details of tongue cutting and skinning, but it still made Meng Zhe frown. After Song Jiang finished telling everything, he Then he said in a deep voice, "Is it worth suffering so much for a ghost who just met by chance...?"
Song Jiang smiled naively after hearing this, "Actually, I regretted it as soon as I felt the pain, but it hurt so much that I couldn't even remember what the secret code I agreed with you was!"
Meng Zhe became very angry when he heard this. He was about to give him a few words of reprimand so that he would remember it in the future, but was interrupted by Song Jiang, "Why do you think the last invitation to the gods failed? I saw that monster." The claws are sticking out from the totem image."
Meng Zhe thought for a while and said, "The problem should be with the saint who plays the drum. According to the saint selection system you saw, it is best for the girl to be a teenager and still not able to speak. This is obviously a mistake. Showing the purity of the saint, there may be something wrong in this aspect, which ultimately led to the failure of the summoning."
After Meng Zhe finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the totem image again. It seems that in addition to trapping the ghost of an unjust death, this painting should also be able to summon the carrier of the ancient evil god "Horovo", but not Did those ancient people try again after that failure? And was it successful? !
In this case, Meng Zhe could not let this totem image continue to be displayed everywhere, so he turned to Song Jiang and said, "Let's take this one away now?!"
"Hmm...ah? Isn't this stealing a painting? What if we are discovered?" Song Jiang refused.
After hearing this, Meng Zhe looked at the mute ghost standing silently and said, "Then do you still want to help him? If you don't take this painting away, he will be taken to another place for exhibition in a few days. We can’t just follow all the way, right?”
Song Jiang heard the same thing, but he felt that it was not appropriate to take it away so rashly, so he said with a troubled face, "Isn't there any reasonable and legal channel?! How about we buy the painting from the organizer?"
"You're paying for it? Besides, this is a worthless fake in their eyes. If you rashly pay for it, maybe you'll make them think that this painting is a rare commodity and they won't want to sell it easily?" Meng Zhe said angrily.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Song Jiang to express his position, he casually took off the totem image, and then with a wave of his hand, an identical totem image appeared on the wall, leaving Song Jiang stunned...
"If you make a fake one, your secret will be revealed sooner or later!" Song Jiang said nervously.
But Meng Zhe said indifferently, "Anyway, they thought it was fake... I just helped them restore the authenticity."
Then the two of them returned to the car with the totem statue. Song Jiang, who had never been a thief before, looked uneasy and kept looking back, fearing that their actions would be discovered and chased...
Meng Zhe said calmly, "Why are you panic?! What will happen if I am seen?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly walked over with a flashlight. Meng Zhe was so frightened that he stepped on the accelerator and drove the car quickly away from the scene...
Then I heard the man with the flashlight shaking his head and saying, "Why are drivers so stingy these days? Isn't it just a few dollars for parking? He can run as fast as robbing a bank!"
In this way, the two of them drove back to the library overnight with the human skin totem statue. When Song Jiang slowly unfolded the totem statue in front of Lao Xu, he was so shocked that he pushed up his glasses and said, "It's really a human being." Made of leather…”
When Ah Fu heard this, he climbed up on the counter on his hands and knees and said with surprise, "Is this what the mute ghost was attached to that day? I didn't expect it to be his own skin!"
Song Jiang said with a headache, "The problem now is how to help the mute ghost find his sister Mei Duo..."
After hearing this, Ah Fu smiled and said, "This is simple... let Sister Li Meng check it out. As long as the name has a surname and origin, it shouldn't be difficult to find out."
But Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "It's not that simple... I think this mute ghost and his sister have special status, so the underworld should not be able to find any information about them." At this point, he looked at Song Jiang and said, "And you just I never thought about why the high priest told the mute ghost that he was about to meet his sister before he died? And why didn't he draw a human skin totem before? He just came up with the idea of using his skin to draw it after the mute ghost found his sister. Woolen cloth?!"
Song Jiang said with a confused look, "It should be that his sister has already died, so killing him is equivalent to sending him to reunite with her sister. This may be a lie told by the high priest to comfort the mute ghost. As for why he met Only after seeing the mute ghost did I think of using him to make a human skin totem statue, then I would have to ask the high priest himself to find out."
"No, the high priest had a distinguished status at the time. There was no need for him to lie to a slave like the mute ghost who was bound to die. There must be another meaning behind what he said... and the reason why he used the skin of the mute ghost to draw the totem image must be It should also have a certain relationship with his sister." Meng Zhe said thoughtfully.
Song Jiang sighed after hearing this, "It's a pity that we now know too little information about the tribe where the mute ghost belongs, otherwise we would know what happened after the deity ritual failed."
At this time, Lao Xu suddenly turned to look at Song Jiang and said, "Can you describe in detail what the psychic drum, which is crucial in the ceremony, looks like?"
Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "How should I put it? That drum is not big. The drum head is about ten centimeters. A girl can completely control it. It is somewhat different from the traditional drum. Although it also has two sides, But I don’t know what kind of material the drum body in the middle is made of, and it is sunken instead of bulging... There are also some strange incomprehensible words on the drum body. The most important thing is that the sound of its knocking seems to be able to Penetrating the heart. The mute ghost's soul had left his body at that time and he had no consciousness. But when the drum sounded, his consciousness was instantly pulled back, so I could see that there was something trying to crawl out of the totem statue. That scene.”
After hearing this, Lao Xu nodded and said, "That's right... If I guessed correctly, that psychic drum should be the legendary Ajie drum that can connect the two realms of yin and yang."
"What kind of drum is Sister Gu?" Song Jiang asked with a surprised look on his face.
Lao Xu sighed and said, "You don't want to know what it is made of... because the production method is quite cruel, and it is something that modern society cannot even imagine."
