American Celestial Master

Chapter 4, Ghost Domain

Everyone also looked at Sheriff Anderson.

Sergeant Anderson hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well, this is actually not a secret. If you can still access the Internet now, you can find relevant information.

Previously, perhaps in the nineteenth century, Congress passed an act allowing—more precisely, mandating—state governments to coerce Indians into accepting modern civilization.According to this act, government personnel forcibly entered Indian tribes, took away children from the tribe, and sent them to Indian boarding schools established in accordance with this act to receive 'civilized education'.The Omak Indian Agricultural Boarding School is one such school...”

"My God!" exclaimed a white teenager, "I thought only Canada had a school like this! Forcibly entering someone's home and taking their children from their parents? This... this is simply fascism! Hitler couldn't be worse!"

"Actually, we were the first to adopt this approach, and the Canadians learned from us." Sergeant Anderson said.

"Shameful!" said the white boy.

Sheriff Anderson ignored him and continued: "This school was probably established in the last few years of the 19th century. Its history is almost as long as Washington State. At that time, neither the federal government nor the state government There is no money to support such schools, so they are basically handed over to religious institutions everywhere as charities.

This school is run by a religious organization called Temple Gate.At that time, the purpose of its establishment, at least the apparent purpose, was to let the Indians master the technology of growing wheat.Turn them from hunters into farmers.

But..." At this point, Sergeant Anderson smiled bitterly, "The Gate of the Temple owns a large piece of land here. After they established this school, they let those Indian children in the name of imparting agricultural technology to the Indians. Work for them in the fields.

According to some legends, many Indian children died due to fatigue, malnutrition, and various diseases caused by poor sanitation, just like the Canadian school that was reported not long ago. "

"God, such atrocities are carried out under your banner, have you seen it?" Katie also said.

"Doesn't the federal government and the state government bother?" asked another Latina teenage girl.

"Angelina, the federal and state governments at that time would not care. They were the promoters of this tragedy. And at that time, Indians were not recognized as American citizens. The American government at that time was not the same as it is now ’” said the white teenager who denounced the American bill as fascist at the beginning.

"This school has existed for more than half a century, and it was not until the 60s of the last century, shortly after the Civil Rights Movement began, that the school was destroyed by a fire.

The cause of the fire has never been known.There are rumors that the children at the school rebelled and lit the fire, others that the fire was started by a lightning strike.Of course, some people suspect that this is the evidence that some people destroyed the money before running away.In short, the school was burned to the ground, and all the people in the school were dead, at least on the surface. Sheriff Anderson continued.

"The school burned down? Then we now..." Katie was so frightened that she almost cried.

"Yes, the school burned down a long time ago. Everyone in the school died in the fire. At least neither the government nor the police found any survivors.

Later, it was abandoned and the land was taken back by the state government. Later, some foreigners bought the land from the state government and turned it into a farm.However, it is said that the farm is often haunted by ghosts, so those outsiders later sold the farm to other outsiders, and later heard that someone asked an exorcist to perform an exorcism ceremony, and nothing happened here... Recently, I heard that the farmer has changed again. "

At this time, Li Weimin's face turned pale.

"Sheriff, that farm might not..." Li Weimin said.

"Yes, it's the farm we were at during the day today. Only older locals know about this legend." Sergeant Anderson affirmed his guess.

"Sheriff, do you know that's all?" Lin Qiusheng asked.

"Yes, that's all," said Inspector Anderson.

"Okay." Lin Qiusheng nodded.Then he turned to other people and said, "According to the hexagram just now, it is still very dangerous for everyone. If you don't pay attention, you will die. Everyone has heard what Sergeant Anderson said just now. Let me do it next." I will briefly talk about my analysis, and then put forward a few suggestions for your reference.

First of all, we are no longer in the original time and space.At this point, you can look at your mobile phone. Whether it is Starlink or GPS, there is no signal. "

"Huh?" Someone quickly took out the phone.

"Really, the Starlink is not connected, and the GPS is gone."

"Even the Beidou is gone!" He Changrong (farm employee) next to him also exclaimed.

"You may know 'Silent Hill', whether it's a game or a movie." Lin Qiusheng continued, "Using the concept in it, we have entered an 'inner world'. The existence of an 'inner world' means that it is still There are rules. If you find the rules, generally speaking, you can guarantee your own safety to the greatest extent. You may even find a way to leave the 'inner world' in the end.

The "Inner World" was formed probably during the fire in the 50s.This other world is also like the one in 'Silent Hill', full of pain and hatred.This, I totally feel.So it must be full of danger and murder.Don't feel safe just because the wall keeps those beasts out.

I have a keener sense of such dangers than any of you.Here, perhaps an unintentional move by you may lead to danger, so before you take any action, you'd better consult me.Of course, as a professional, I receive a fee for consultation. "

Having said that, Lin Qiusheng reached into the Taoist robe, fumbled for a while, and took out a few business cards.Then I distributed it to several people next to me, and said with a smile: "This is my business card, and it also indicates the fee standard for my consultation. I am a person who speaks honesty. Although the current situation is critical, I am also in fact. In the monopoly position, but my charging standard remains the same. Twenty dollars per question.

Consider that credit cards and online payment methods cannot be used here.I only accept cash. If you don't have cash, I can lend it to you and give it to me after you leave this ghost land, but the price will go up a bit, forty dollars per question. "

"If I want to ask you for advice, I will definitely choose the way of borrowing money from you." Sheriff Anderson said, "That way, if I fail to get out, you won't get the money."

Lin Qiusheng did not speak, but opened the suitcase, took out a compass, looked down, took two steps to the left, lowered his head, looked again, then returned to the original place and took two steps to the right , looked down, then closed the cover on the compass, returned to the original place and said to everyone: "I guess we are now in the echo of history, that is, before the big fire. I don't know the exact time when the fire happened , but until the fire starts, we are safe.

The most important thing for us now is to take advantage of this safe time to explore this secret realm.Take it easy, everyone. Excessive tension or fear can easily cause unnecessary trouble.But don't worry, with me here, at least before the fire, as long as you don't do anything that violates the taboo, there will be no problem. "

"Okay, we'll all listen to you." Sergeant Anderson turned to the others. "Everyone, when we encounter something we don't understand, we should listen to experts. Who is in favor of it? Who is against it?"

"Me." said the white kid who just spoke, "I can listen to you most of the time, but when it comes to my life safety, I have the final say. If you want us to take risks, you can We must explain the reason clearly to us. Because my father said that although experts know a lot, experts often deliberately deceive and harm people.

Just like at the beginning of this pandemic, that bastard Fauci told us that nothing would happen in the United States; then he told us that although there is a pandemic in the United States, we don’t need to wear masks; then He told us that maybe we should have worn masks, but we didn't have them; and finally he said that we should have worn masks, but it's too late.

My knowledge is limited, but I really can't trust the experts completely. "

"I can only promise that I will try my best to explain it to you as time and conditions permit. You must know that it has taken me many years to master something, and it is impossible to explain it to you in such a short period of time. "Lin Qiusheng said, "Of course, when it comes to your life safety, the final decision is yours.

Plus, boy, you're absolutely right to be concerned about the experts, Fauci is a bastard.But you can't believe it blindly. At least, when we are in the same boat and the stakes are high, experts are still worthy of trust.I don't ask you to trust me unconditionally, anyway, I don't charge money when I send orders, so trust me a little bit. "

After Lin Qiusheng said the above words with a smile, he said to everyone: "I have a talisman here, you stick it on your body, and you can avoid the detection of all kinds of ghosts in the campus before the fire starts.

However, I want to warn you that it is taboo not to try to interfere with what the ghost is doing.The actions of the ghosts you see at this time are unchangeable history. Your intervention is useless and will lead to unpredictable results.Before the fire, this practice is an absolute no-no.Whoever violates, I can only give up on him.Understand? "

Everyone nodded solemnly.

Lin Qiusheng took out another stack of talisman papers from the suitcase, and said to Sheriff Anderson:
"Sheriff, I believe in the self-control of you and your subordinates. But these children... children are children after all, so I hope you can assign someone to take care of them."

"I know. You are very considerate." Sergeant Anderson turned around and assigned a police guard to each of the semi-old children.

Katie glanced at the big male policeman standing next to her, and really wanted to ask if she could be replaced by that female policeman, but she kept her mouth shut because she couldn't just assume the gender of others.

Lin Qiusheng handed over the talisman paper in his hand to others.

"Stick it to your body." Lin Qiusheng said.

Katie took the talisman paper and pasted it on her forehead without saying a word.

"Put it on your chest." Lin Qiusheng said.

"Ah? Isn't it pasted on the forehead? I think Qiqi is pasted on the forehead." Katie said while taking off the talisman paper from her forehead and pasting it on her chest.

"Qiqi is an undead creature, but you are not." Lin Qiusheng laughed.Lin Qiusheng was actually very satisfied with Katie's words, because it made the atmosphere much more active and made everyone's sense of fear drop a lot.

"Let's go." Seeing that everyone had pasted up the talisman papers, Lin Qiusheng said to everyone, "Start from the house over here—according to my intuition."
