Rebirth begins at Skull Island

Chapter 58
As soon as Ai Li and the others entered the gate of the compound, they saw a well-dressed, curly-haired, smiling middle-aged woman standing at the gate of the villa not far away, waiting for them.

"Wow! My dear sister!"

Ellie got out of the car as soon as she saw the woman, walked over happily, kissed her face, and hugged together.

Aaron also followed and followed the same steps.

When it was Rhodes' turn, he looked at the woman hesitantly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The face-to-face ceremony is a kind of etiquette, which Rhodes knows, but he has never been exposed to this kind of etiquette for so long.

What?

Just when Rhodes was hesitating, the woman opposite spoke ahead of time.

"This lovely man is Rhodes, right? Nice to meet you."

After finishing speaking, she bent over and leaned over, and leaned on both sides of Rhodes' cheeks.

"Welcome to my home, I hope you have a great weekend."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and held Rhode's hand without any psychological grudges.

"Thank you, Aunt Sally."

Ok.

Rhode responded with a smile, and then followed Ellie and the others into the villa.

The decoration inside the villa is elegant and simple, which is a bit different from what Rhodes imagined before he came in.

He originally thought that people who love antiques and collect them will decorate their homes magnificently, but unexpectedly, this is really just his original thought.

"Aunt, uncle! You are here!"

Just when he was curious, a crisp voice came from the stairs, and Rhode followed the voice.

Blonde hair, fair skin, delicate facial features and a curvy figure, all combined together, even wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans cannot hide her beauty.

However, Rhodes doesn't like green apples.

So he ignored Aaron's teasing eyes, and said silently in his heart, Erika Momoya, The Bridge is not long, Yi Tianhai, Nozomi Aso.
"Are you Rhode's cousin?"

A clear voice sounded in front of Rhodes, he raised his head, and his eyes hit him head-on.

Blue eyes, slim waist, long legs
It's a pity that it's not spectacular enough, much worse than Ellie.

Bad review!

"Well, hello, Cousin Betty."

In the United States, many people like BBQ when they gather with relatives on weekends and have lunch at noon, so Rhodes is no exception.

Uncle Robinson and his wife, uncle Kent's family, brother Najib...

A bunch of relatives get together to chat and brag, and Rhodes doesn't like to be with a bunch of wretched relatives who like to tease him for no reason.

Simply, taking advantage of being busy, I went to the backyard of the house alone, a courtyard with an area of ​​at least tens of meters, and chose an angle where I could directly see the sea and waited and watched.

"How about it, isn't my house nice?"

Just when Rhodes was fascinated by the sea view, that clear and ostentatious voice sounded inappropriately behind him.

"It's not bad, but there are too few people around and it's not lively enough."

What Rhodes said is also true. Aunt Sally's house is located on a mountain, and the surrounding forests are very green, but there are too few houses.

Looking around, the buildings in sight are no more than one hand.

"Do you like excitement? Brother Rhodes..."

The tone of the last two words is a bit heavy. It seems that Cousin Betty wants to emphasize something, but does it have anything to do with him?

"I like it. Isn't it important to have a strong breath of life? This is a desolate place, and no one will respond to calling for help."

Rhode's words made Betty very unconvinced. Originally, she just wanted to find a sense of superiority in this cousin, but she didn't want to be picked on if she didn't find the superiority.

This irritated Betty, who was very concerned about the enjoyment of material life, and couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Why are you calling for help! This is a wealthy area of ​​Long Beach, surrounded by guards and patrolling! The security aspect is fundamentally different from ordinary civilian residential areas!"

General civilian residential areas?
Are you talking about your own home?

Rhodes turned his head and glanced at his pretty little cousin, holding his head high, looking very proud, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

After all, she was just a 14-year-old girl.

Rhodes rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly said in a strange tone:

"Cousin Betty, do you know that there is a magical knowledge in the far east."

"What knowledge?"

"B."

"What's that for?" Betty asked confusedly, not understanding the meaning of these three words.

"To put it simply, it is to bury people." Rhodes turned around, facing the sea, and pointed to the nearby hills and trees, "Based on the surrounding terrain, find a place with a good view to bury the dead."

"What's the point of doing that?"

"It seems that it can have a good influence on my descendants, but I don't know what kind of influence it will be." Speaking of this, Rhodes suddenly pointed to the hills not far away, "I think the scenery over there is good, there are mountains and mountains. Water is suitable for burying people, and there may be corpses buried for hundreds or thousands of years underneath."

After finishing speaking, Rhodes glanced at Betty beside him, and found that the latter's face was not very good, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he felt that this was not enough, so he continued to speak:

"Some ancient people still like to bury their family members and relatives with them after death. Many of them are still young people, and they are dragged and buried alive like this. Tsk tsk...it's scary to think about it."

"Gudu..."

Rhodes heard the sound of swallowing saliva coming from his ear, and he could guess Betty's expression without looking.

"People who are buried alive have great grievances. Such souls will not go to heaven, nor will they be accepted in hell. They can only wander around the world, waiting for opportunities to hurt those good-looking people."

"For... why do you want to hurt a good-looking person..."

"Because..." Rod suddenly turned around and stared at Betty, saying word by word: "Because they want good-looking people to go down and accompany them! It's dark, cold, and lonely down there..."

"what!!!"

Betty couldn't stand it anymore, she yelled, turned around and ran into the house!

After all, he was still a child.

Rhodes disdainfully rolled his eyes at the disappearing figure, and continued to focus on the distant sea.

At noon, before eating, a table of people gathered together, holding hands and praying.

Little cousin Betty is also there, but her face looks a bit unwell.

Rhode didn't know what to say in the prayer, so he could only follow behind the crowd, drooling as he watched the table full of food and drink.

After a while, when the prayer was over, Sally, who was seated first, looked at the crowd with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few treasures here, please come and enjoy them first!"

As he spoke, he lifted a metal box with complex patterns from his side.

Open it and carefully take out the contents one by one.

Hand mirrors, pocket watches, coins, bracelets...

A bunch of small things can be seen directly in general, although the appearance of these things is full of sense of history.

Wait, what is that?
statue?

Rhode's attention was immediately attracted by a barely recognizable humanoid figurine that Aunt Sally took out at the end.

　Today's new book list is gone, and the collection is no longer available.

　　Uncomfortable, out of state.

　　But I will adjust! !
　　These two chapters are too much!
　　Let's start a new story!
