Chapter 167

Putting down the notes, Locke glanced at her and said casually: "Current mainstream scientific research has indeed not discovered the existence of real witches and magic.

However, some things may indeed be considered magic in ancient times. For example, people worshiped thunder and lightning in the past, but now its principles have been scientifically analyzed. "

"You mean Himiko used some natural phenomena or scientific principles to disguise herself as a powerful witch?" Laura asked.

"This is my speculation, and it is also a judgment based on my identity as a scientist." Locke said solemnly:

"Occultism is interpreted in the American dictionary as the study of the supernatural, and almost every civilization has its own myths and legends.

And occultism has been constantly deriving and dying. The earlier occultism was closely related to religion, such as the so-called alchemy or alchemy, which was later discovered to be chemistry.

Theology once said that the human body does not circulate, but with the development of modern medicine, this statement has also been proved to be false.

The ancient mystic scholars often mastered some technologies that people didn't understand at that time, and through the packaging of gods and gods, they were regarded as representatives of gods.

In my opinion, occultism and science are one.

Science is an ever-evolving subject. Now we have deciphered many mysteries in the past. Similarly, now we feel that unknown and mysterious powers may be deciphered by science in the future. "

"You're right." Laura nodded, agreeing with Locke's judgment.

Looking at Laura who was limped by him, Locke thought to himself, waiting for Laura to see the real magical power in the future, recalling what he said, he didn't know how he would feel.

"It's a pity that I only found these from my father's research. There is no record about Queen Himiko's tomb." Laura said again: "Did you gain anything there?"

"I also just contacted a private investigator to investigate in Japan. If your parents really went to explore Queen Himiko's tomb, they would definitely have contact with the local people."

Locke said slowly: "If there is any relevant news, I will definitely notify you."

"Okay." Laura nodded: "I'll look for the things left by my parents and see if I can find more clues."

With that said, Laura stood up from her seat and picked up the notes, but an accident happened.

Laura accidentally twisted her foot, and the note in her hand flew into the air, and the paper in the middle flew away.

Locke subconsciously reached out to catch the notes and scattered papers flying towards him, but then he found that Laura's eyes followed his movements.

This surprised Locke very much, because the speed he unintentionally used was definitely something that people could see clearly, but Laura's eyes rolled accordingly, indicating that she at least saw some.

Then Laura took the notes steadily at the moment when Locke was stunned.

"Lock, you..."

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Laura looked at the paper in Locke's hand and the notes in her hand, and she was stunned: "How did you do it?"

"I react quickly." Locke explained, handed the paper to Laura casually, looked at her and said, "Your reaction speed is also good, has it always been like this since you were a child?"

"Huh?" Laura asked a little puzzled: "Is there, you are faster than me. I only saw you grabbing those papers, but I couldn't fully see your movements."

"Didn't you also catch the notes?" Locke raised his eyebrows, paying attention to Laura's expression, and asked again: "Have you always been like this before?"

"Isn't it normal to be able to catch one?" Laura was a little confused: "This is a subconscious reaction. When I was young, I watched circus performances and learned how to catch the ball.

But after trying it all afternoon, I could only catch four balls at most, which was incomparable to those performers who caught five or six or even seven or eight balls at a time. I felt so difficult at that time. "

"So that's it." Locke said with a smile, "Are you interested in playing a game with me? It's very interesting."

"What game?" Laura showed an interested look.

"Do you have a kitchen here?" Locke asked.

"Of course, come with me." Laura led Locke to the kitchen of the manor.

"Here you are." Locke and Laura stood opposite each other, and handed her a fruit knife face to face.

"What is this for?"

"You look at me, don't look at other things, now try to throw this fruit knife in the air and catch it with a catch game," Locke said.

Although it might seem dangerous to do so and be easily injured by fruit knives, but Locke is next to him, so naturally there will be no problems.

Then there was Laura looking at him, throwing the paring knife up, and catching it as it came down in a circle.The action is obviously unskilled.

Locke has been paying attention to Laura's eyes. When the fruit knife fell, she really didn't look at it, but she caught the handle of the knife firmly without any reluctance.

"Then it's time to move on to the next step," Locke said.

"Okay..." Although there was some danger just now, Laura felt a strange excitement, her heart beat faster, and she had some expectations.

"Very good, let's start." Locke said, took the fruit knife from Laura's hand, and threw it up without looking, just looking into Laura's eyes.

The fruit knife circled above the two people's heads, and Laura's hair stood on end. After a pause, she instinctively moved away from looking at Locke, and slightly raised her head to look at the fruit knife.

Locke paid attention to Laura's every move, and saw that she turned her eyes almost the moment the fruit knife fell. This reaction speed may not be as fast as his, but it is much faster than ordinary people.

This kind of reaction speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people anyway.

Then Laura caught the handle of the paring knife just before it slid across her cheek.

"Great!" Locke smiled and applauded.

"Ah!" Laura exclaimed in surprise, and then looked at the fruit knife in a daze.

"Sure enough, you are very talented. In terms of reaction speed, you are much higher than ordinary people."

Locke sighed, no wonder he was able to become the future Goddess of Destruction of the Ruins, and escaped from death many times. This talent is indeed outstanding, and even Minty can only achieve it through years of training.

But Laura was clearly not professionally trained.

"Come again!"

Laura seems to have been opened the door to a new world by Locke, constantly playing the game of throwing knives and catching knives.

"It's almost ready at this stage." Locke watched her play for a while, then smiled and said: "I think we can try to go further."

"Going further?" Laura's eyes lit up, with some strange excitement.

Locke originally thought of throwing the fruit knife directly at Laura, but felt that this would make a bad head, so he found a tablecloth to wrap the fruit knife to block the blade, calculated the speed, and then threw it at Laura .

"Wow!" Laura yelled, reaching out to catch the fruit knife flying past her, the whole movement was amazing.

Looking at the fruit knife in her hand, Laura showed a smile on her face: "This is really exciting."

"It's interesting." Locke said with a smile.

"You can do it too." Laura suddenly thought of something and looked at Locke.

"Of course!" Locke nodded with a smile.

"Look at the trick!" Laura suddenly yelled, and threw the fruit knife in her hand at Locke.

No need to follow the trajectory, the moment Laura threw the fruit knife, Locke had already calculated the speed of the fruit knife, stretched out two fingers, and clamped the fruit knife.

"Wow, you are amazing." Laura smiled and clapped her hands, "Come again, come again!"

So the two played the game of throwing fruit knives at each other. After a while, after she got used to it, she was a little dissatisfied with the excitement.

"Shall we take the tablecloth off?" Laura suggested.

"No, you are still far away." Locke shook his head: "It will be bad if you hurt yourself."

"Come on!" Laura said coquettishly: "Just try it, you know, I react very quickly."

"Why don't we test it." Seeing that Laura was showing signs of floating, he decided to pour cold water on her: "You reach out."

"Okay." Laura stretched out her hand confidently.

Locke held the wrapped fruit knife in his hand and said to Laura, "I'll hit you and hide."

"No problem." Laura also knew this game. She had played it with her classmates at school before, and every time she won, no one wanted to end it with her.

But at the next moment, she exclaimed, she wanted to hide, and thought she was dodging, but in fact, there was pain in the palm of her hand.

"Now I know you are still far behind." Locke joked with a smile.

"No, come again, I don't believe I can't avoid it." Laura pouted and stretched out her hand again.

"what!"

"Wow!"

The next result was pain in the palm of her hand one after another. Looking at the smile on Locke's face, she felt more and more unconvinced, and couldn't help but rushed towards Locke.

Locke was taken aback for a moment, seeing Laura's expression, he also knew that he was going too far, so he didn't dodge. Watching Laura rush over and jump, her legs directly wrapped around Locke's waist, she opened her mouth and bit it. Locke's shoulders.

Feeling a pain in his shoulder, Locke raised his eyebrows, this little girl is a bit harsh.
