Chapter 52 The Night Fright (2)
"Archaeology?" Li looked at him in confusion, "Do you still understand this? I remember you are just a rugby player in college?"
James coughed awkwardly, "Of course it's not me personally. Are you interested in the Golden City of South America?"
"City of Gold? Ancient Inca Kingdom? Didn't the Spaniards snatch them all?"
"No, not that." James turned around and signaled to the two bodyguards. The two left and turned to stop others from coming.
James approached Lee and whispered almost in his ear: "It's the legendary capital of the Inca Empire: the White City. In the rainforest of Honduras, a Chicago research team used their laser mapping technology to find the remains of a large-scale residence there."
James couldn't help licking his lips, "Enrique said that the research team organized a scientific expedition team there to find the truth. Now he is looking for sponsorship. I plan to sponsor them. Are you interested? If you really find it, we will send it."
"Why are you looking for me? I don't believe you are short of money." Li stared at him with a smile.
Looking at Li's eyes that were so heart-wrenching, James shook his head in annoyance, "Okay, one is the formalities. I can't swallow such a big deal by myself. You did a good job in the South District. The agent you were looking for has been registered in the state government. Our cooperation between the two can be said to be the behavior of the Chicago government, which is easier to handle in the formalities. Another thing is that last time you became popular, you have many good players under your command. If you enter the rainforest, there will be no use, but elite players will play a key role. There are only a lot of good players I can trust, so I found you. How about it, do you do it?"
Li didn't answer immediately, thought carefully for a while, and looked at James and said, "Okay, in two days you can get a detailed information and let's discuss it ourselves." After that, he stretched out his hand to him, and James smiled and slapped him. Even if this matter was basically done, the rest was the details.
While the two were having a good time, a lady in the distance suddenly sneezes. She apologized to the man opposite and wrapped her fur scarf tighter. Then several ladies wrapped their coats tighter, and some men even buttoned up their suits.
The tall and strong James suddenly had a cold war and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, who turned on the air conditioner?"
Kossack also felt that he immediately ordered a bodyguard to light the fireplace. If the guests were frozen, it would be too rude. Li Ze cursed in his heart, that he was fascinated by the golden eyes. The whole room was so yin energy that he had to be reminded by ordinary people.
When Dana was tightly pressed behind her back, Kosak also realized something was wrong. He immediately turned his gaze to Li. Seeing that Li nodded to him with confidence, he felt relieved. Taking this opportunity, he walked up the steps and shouted to the guests who were a little turbulent: "Don't panic, please protect the ladies around you. I invited a good friend, and nothing will happen if he is there."
Before Kosak could introduce Li, the incident came. All the lights in the hall were gone in an instant, and some women were already screaming.
Fortunately, there were still many candles in the hall for emergencies. Li took out a talisman from his arms, shook it, and the talisman burned. In front of James and all the guests in the hall, the small fireball formed by the talisman paper circled the hall like someone held it, lit all the candles, and even floated to the roof to light up the candles on the decorative antique chandelier.
Light can bring people a sense of security and hope. Seeing such a wonderful scene, all the guests forgot their fear, and even some people applauded, and James' eyes lit up with the candle.
However, before they could slap their palms, a new change happened again. Everyone clearly heard a woman's crying from the second floor. The crying was so shrill and strange that everyone felt a little sad and fearful in their hearts after hearing it.
"Child, where is my child?" Then the voice said, and the fear in the hearts of the people present was even greater. Fortunately, there was no such thing as a ghost mother in the horror story of the Americans, otherwise I guess one or two people would have to be scared in the hall.
"The heaven and earth are natural, and the filthy qi is dispersed; the mysterious and vague in the cave is shining brightly; the power of the eight directions makes me natural; the spiritual treasure talisman is widely reported to the nine heavens." Li walked to the stairs while reciting the Taoist mantra and said to everyone: "Don't move around, I can deal with this evil spirit. As long as you don't run around, there will be no trouble. If you are hurt by running around, I will not be responsible."
After saying that, he stared at the direction of the second floor with his eyes tightly and slowly pulled Chi Xiao out of the palm of his left hand. When the guests saw this scene, their eyes lit up. Oh my God, his tall and tall figure and the holy sword that was drawn from his body were like a god in mythology. Of course, they were in a dangerous environment and automatically ignored the issue of skin color. Some guests had already started kneeling down and drawing crosses on their chests.
Finally, a shadow appeared on the second floor. A woman who seemed to be squirming on her body slowly walked out. She covered her face with disheveled hair, and turned her head to both sides as she walked, as if she was looking for something.
"Child, my child." The woman walked to the stairs and the person below gasped. The woman also carries 8 babies on her back, crawling around her.
The woman looked at the person below and showed her pale face. Her face was thin and haggard, but it was normal and not very scary. The woman drooped her eyelids and asked in her mouth: "Did you see my child?" while scanning the audience.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, some noble ladies even felt a little compassion. Oh, this is a poor person who lost his child.
Li opened his eyes wide and stared at her every move.
Suddenly, the woman stared at the direction of the fireplace with her eyes wide open and screamed. The harsh scream made everyone cover their ears in pain.
"My child! You dare to treat him like this. Children, kill all these people to avenge your brother." The woman's face began to twist, her half-closed eyes widened, and her eyes seemed to be coming out soon.
Li sighed in his heart, why are the enemies nearest all women, and they are all so strong? Is this announcing the arrival of the feminist world?
