Chapter 247: Sharing Resources
The handsome blonde boy spread his hands and looked puzzled. “What is a paper talisman? We have never used this thing here. We also have never seen it before.”
He hesitated for a while when he said the words ‘paper talisman’ as if he suspected what he said was wrong.
Hearing David’s words, the other hosts echoed, “Yeah, we’ve never seen it before either.”
After some discussion, it turned out that everyone in every country was using different things.
Lauren Torres used a paper talisman. A sword or a cross was probably used in other countries. In other words, the tools they used were different, but the effects were the same.
Lauren Torres shook her head. “That can’t be. I’ve used this paper talisman many times before. There was no problem in the past.”
After eliminating this factor, everyone started discussing again.
At this moment, a little boy wearing round-rimmed glasses who was about the same age as Lauren Torres spoke up. He was a year and a half older than Lauren Torres and had the same eastern face as Lauren Torres.
Little Nine had mentioned that he was the host of the neighboring country.
It had also mentioned that they were going to travel to that country together.
The young boy’s name was Pam.
The tool that Pam used was similar to Lauren Torres’s. It was something similar to the paper talisman, but it was a little wider.
Through the video, Lauren Torres could see the language of his country on the wall behind him. She could not recognize them at all. They were like worms, twisted and crooked.
His voice was also very cute, similar to that of Divine Nine.
“Did you say that blood was still dripping from the bloody handprint?”
Lauren Torres nodded.
“Yes, it’s been a long time, but the blood still hasn’t dried up.”
Pam frowned. “I’ve seen something like this before. It was last year, at the scene of a murder. There was no strange character in the surveillance cameras, but the bloodstains left at the scene didn’t dry up even after three days and three nights. After that, I received a mission.”
“What was going on then?”
“In general, it’s because the ghost’s obsession is too strong. The energy gathered in the blood is so strong that the blood won’t dry up.”
Lauren Torres was enlightened. “So it’s not because of something added!”
“We can’t rule out that possibility,” Pam said seriously.
“What happened after that? How did you complete your mission?”
“I found out the same thing as you. When I was about to look for the ghost, a knife suddenly started shaking violently.”
“I brought the knife home. After studying it for three days and three nights, I found out that the ghost’s soul was sealed inside the knife. It needed us to free it.”
It was sealed inside an object?
Lauren Torres recalled the scene back then. “But everything in the utility room was shaking. Which object would the ghost be in?”
Pam shook his head.
“I’ve never encountered such a situation. You may need to recite an incantation to each of the objects to find out.”
Lauren Torres’s heart skipped a beat. ‘How big of a project is this? There must be at least a hundred if not a thousand objects in the utility room.’
“What’s that incantation?”
When they first became the hosts, they would learn some basic incantations. These incantations could be broken down into many pieces. Basically, all the incantations could be arranged in different ways using these basic incantations. And they also had their own logic in the arrangement.
It was just like solving mathematical problems.
Therefore, when they encountered a higher level incantation, they would need to research it on their own.
If they were lucky, they might be able to find some information from ancient books.
Lauren Torres’s eyes were darting around. If there was a ready-made incantation, she would certainly use it.
Fortunately, Pam was very easy to talk to. He nodded and was about to write the incantation for Lauren Torres.
However, another host spoke up. It was a girl who looked about 17 or 18 years old. She looked heroic and cold. If not because of her long hair, Lauren Torres would almost think she was a boy.
“How can we casually share things like talismans? This is all our own work.”
If Lauren Torres remembered correctly, this girl’s name was Noa.
She did not seem to agree with Lauren Torres for being opportunistic. But Pam did not mind.
“Our mission is the same. It will make the world a better place. Sharing resources is not a big deal.”
