Li Du squatted at the door and watched. The naughty children forgot the pain, and when they entered the house, they forgot what had happened at the door and ran over to watch.
As a result, when they ran to the black stone bricks, they would scream and then retreat in panic.
Because the cottage-style villa had a layer of stone on the ground, this was related to the living environment of the colonists at that time. When European colonists first entered America, they lived east of the Appalachian Mountains, such as Philadelphia and New York, where there were abundant stone resources.
As we all know, the upscale houses in medieval Europe were castles, integrated with mountain stones. When they first arrived in North America, the colonists still wanted to build castles.
However, they lacked sufficient financial resources, manpower, and materials. Secondly, because of the threat of the Indians, it was better to build villages and towns than to live in castles. Building a castle was too slow, took too long, and was easily destroyed by the Indians.
In the end, the cottage appeared, which was why these new types of villas, which were quite luxurious, had such a name. One reason was that they were originally born in villages and towns.
Of course, as now, the cottages were built against the mountains, because the villages and towns were built against the mountains for protection.
The cottages were not built entirely of stone, but the floors and walls were stone. The floor in the hall of the house was a layer of stone. Perhaps to distinguish the areas, a black stone was used near the door.
Lu Guan looked at the stone and asked, "Is it because this thing is radioactive? Can it cause death? "
"Make people hallucinate and think they have seen a ghost?" Firecracker asked.
Lu Guan nodded. "Yes, is there such a thing? But ghosts should have little to do with this stone. The Montana rancher didn't die here. "
Li Du, who was studying the black stone, was stunned. "Didn't he die here? Then how did he die? "
Lu Guan said, "He was hit by a car. He died a horrible death. He hit a truck …"
Hearing this answer, Li Du was speechless. "Then why did people associate him with this house?"
Lu Guan explained, "The ghost of the house is haunting him. Anyway, he was driving normally when he suddenly changed lanes and crashed into an oncoming truck. Apart from being possessed, who in their right mind would do something like that? "
"Or it could be a curse," Young Markelov added. "There's a legend in our hometown …"
Big Ma gave him another violent kick. "Don't say those stupid things about your hometown. Do you think the atmosphere here is not gloomy enough? Do you want to add fuel to the fire? "
"What exactly is this black stone?" Li Du asked.
He reached out his hand to touch the stone, and a numb feeling quickly spread from his fingers to his arm, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
Lu Guan panicked and said, "Ah, it's psychic, the boss is psychic. Where is the holy water I brought? Hurry up and give it to the boss … "
"Shut up!" Li Du retracted his arm and shivered again. He pointed at the stone and exclaimed, "There's electricity on this thing. It can generate electricity?!"
The others gave it a try, and sure enough, the group of people began to tremble.
Godzilla shook his numb palm and said, "Sh * t, this electric current is too strong."
"No wonder these naughty kids don't dare to step on it. It's because of the electric current, isn't it?" Big Markelov said.
Lu Guan said blankly, "How could this be? Where did the electric current come from? The stone itself is an insulator. It doesn't conduct electricity. "
Big Markelov said, "Silica is an insulator. In its natural state, the main component of the stone is silica, so it doesn't conduct electricity. But what if this is an ore? Like iron ore. "
It was common knowledge that iron ore conducted electricity.
Li Du remembered what the cleaner had said. Someone said that when the door was first opened, a few naughty kids entered the house, and then they didn't dare to go in.
The cleaner thought that they had disturbed the souls and attracted them out, but Li Du remembered that the water and electricity were cut off when the door was first opened, and they turned on the water and electricity when they cleaned up.
In other words, the electricity of the black stone did not come from itself, but from the circuit.
Li Du asked Young Markelov to pull the switch, and then he waved the naughty kids out again, and they could go in and out of the door.
Of course, at this time, they tried to use their hands to check, but there was no electricity on the black stone.
"Damn, I told you there was no ghost." Li Du couldn't help but swear.
Lu Guan hesitated and said, "But that's not right. If a wire touched the ground and caused the current to flow out, the switch should have tripped automatically. Otherwise, the circuit would have short-circuited in this case. Anyway, there shouldn't be any current. "
Li Du said, "That's the problem with the current."
Turning off the switch, the black stone had electricity again.
There was no doubt about that. It all depended on the actual situation. Li Du and the others were not electricians and were not good at it. They could only lay dry boards on it for the time being and find an electrician later to see what was going on.
They had just covered the black stone when Ah Ow suddenly looked up at the door, and then fiercely rushed out.
There was a voice outside. "Hello, is anyone here? Is anyone here? Whoa, step back, it's a big dog! "
Li Du whistled and Ah Ow ran back quickly. He went out and saw a somewhat dispirited young man standing at the door.
The young man looked like an otaku. His hair was messy like a bird's nest, his eyes were dull, his skin was pale, his body was fat, and his steps were weak. These were all characteristics of an American otaku.
"You are?" Li Du asked tentatively.
The young man pointed in the direction next door and said, "Oh, my name is Benedict Allen, and I live there. Who are you? Are you plainclothes police? Why has this haunted house been opened again? "
Li Du remembered the Toyota Prado he had seen during the day, so he said, "No, I am the new owner here and your new neighbor. Nice to meet you."
Hearing this, the young man gasped. "F * ck, you bought this house? Why did someone buy it again? D * mn, damn it! "
He said a few words in annoyance, and then added, "This is a haunted house, man. God, are you an immigrant? You must have been cheated. This house can't be lived in! "
Li Du laughed. "I know, but I don't believe there are ghosts in the world."
Benedict smiled bitterly and muttered, "Well, I don't believe it either, but that's the truth. Listen to me, man, you'd better get out of here and sell the house or something. In short, something has happened here, and five people have died …"
The last sentence made Li Du feel strange. "Five people? Isn't it four? "
Benedict sneered. "Of course not. I live here, and I know best. There are indeed five people, but few people know about the fifth person who died."
