Inside the homestay,
Catherine has not played with her cell phone for a long time.
When William went to the beach for a tryst with the proprietress, she immediately went to the restaurant area and found the replica statue carved by the village chief.
This mass-produced statue, which carries a little divinity, is naturally not as good as the 'Fertility-Giving Guanyin' absorbed by William, but in Catherine's opinion it is delicious enough and has other uses.
Once absorbed, it may be possible to locate the position of the main statue based on the connection between the statues.
Unlike William who put the statue into his abdomen and was absorbed by the abyss,
Catherine adopted a more intuitive method. She first smashed the statue with her tentacles. In addition to the broken stones, there was a large amount of dead flesh, flower petals, fish bones, shells and other rotten mixture inside the statue.
Catherine was not disgusted, but was pleasantly surprised! She just wanted to absorb the evil things in this world, to gain power different from the old world, and to reach a higher position.
Malignancy grows in the body,
Catherine ate these disgusting things directly with the remaining white rice and enjoyed them.
A weak and unknown energy that did not belong to the plague spread rapidly in the body, even trying to tear Catherine's flesh apart, but it was quickly suppressed and transformed into her own.
When Catherine opened her eyes, she found that one of her two broken octopus legs had grown back, and there was a puddle of water on the ground.
His face flushed, he gasped for breath,
He lay on the bench with a satisfied look on his face.
At this time William returned,
Catherine did not hold back at all, instead she put her legs on the table and said with a slight breath: "Huh~ It's really extraordinary~ Just a replica makes me so satisfied, I really look forward to the corresponding main statue behind it.
If I can really absorb it, I will definitely be able to bring back the evil energy from another world, and then maybe I can kill Art."
Catherine, who was originally somewhat charming, instantly revealed her murderous intent. The tentacles growing from her back twisted wildly like a deep-sea banshee.
"Can you sense the location of the main statue?"
"Very weak, but I roughly know the direction."
Catherine pointed the direction with a tentacle, and William immediately jumped onto the roof to observe.
Because of the huge commotion caused by the "over-the-shoulder throw" just now,
The city investigators who were changing shifts also rushed to the scene. The direction they came from was exactly the same as the direction given by Catherine, which was enough to indirectly prove that the cave was there.
Catherine quickly followed and saw the body parts floating on the shore.
"William, you really don't know how to be gentle with women. Such a beautiful lady boss was torn into pieces by someone else. I wonder which force was greater, compared to when you threw me in the circus."
"You're still holding a grudge~ It was just a joke at the time, I won't fall again next time."
"What do you mean by holding a grudge or not? I was just saying it casually. I'm not angry. Anyway, you have strong tastes. You like stimulating and deformed individuals like sisters.
I've said before, as long as you can help me improve my deep sea skills, I can cooperate with you in any way I want, and I can even record the whole process."
"Let's go~ Now is a good time to act. A large number of investigators have been lured away, and perhaps we can directly sneak into the secret cave where the main statue is."
Just as William was about to go around, a figure climbed onto the roof. It was Xiaofang, who was supposed to be sleeping.
"I'll go too~ maybe I can help you."
"It's going to be very dangerous this time. Are you sure you want to go with us?"
"Well... I'll help you one last time, just to repay the favor."
William did not refuse. After all, Xiaofang's ability would be of great help in the subsequent covert operation.
The three of them chose to move quickly on the rooftop area, but they had to be careful not to make any noise so as not to disturb the villagers living inside.
This time Catherine carried Fangfang on her back. After all, with her characteristics, she didn't need to jump on the roof. She could just extend her tentacles to connect to the opposite roof. Her soft octopus legs didn't make any sound.
William uses precise body control to bend his knees at a constant speed and press down his ankles when he jumps and lands, providing enough cushioning to make the landing without any noise.
In this way, the two soon arrived at the edge of Huahai Village. There were no buildings in front of them, and instead there was a dense jacaranda forest area.
"Sure enough, the cave where the main statue is placed is set outside the village... Xiaofang, are there any investigators in the woods?"
"Yes, but you just need to keep going. With me here, they won't encounter us in this maze-like forest area."
"good."
With these words, William naturally felt relieved. Then Catherine was responsible for leading the way, and they used the induction between the statues to head to a cave hidden somewhere in the forest.
"Hmm? There's a yellow talisman hanging in the forest..."
After walking a short distance, the group found a number of old yellow talismans tied to the branches in the forest with red ropes. Judging from their age, they did not seem to have been done by the investigators, but rather tied there by the villagers themselves.
The deeper you go, the higher the density of the yellow talismans.
About twenty minutes later,
After walking the last short uphill section, we finally saw the cave. Bursts of cold air flowed out from it, and the temperature nearby was 10℃ lower than other normal areas.
There were four investigators wearing breathing masks wandering around at the entrance of the cave. Each of them exuded a different aura, as if they each represented a different god.
There are dense hemp ropes at the entrance of the cave, and yellow talismans are hung on them, acting as a seal.
The next step was the most troublesome moment. William made his suggestion: "I will lead these guys away, and Catherine, how about you take the opportunity to sneak in alone?"
"No~ I don't want to go to such a dark and damp place alone, and it looks quite weird. I, a little girl, will be very scared.
Besides, I don't want to owe you a favor.
Since we have decided that this Flower Sea Village is our last stop in this world, why not just let go and kill the four people in front of us?"
"It's not that easy... Even if we can fight two against four, the noise will attract other investigators. Once the situation gets out of hand, the things hidden in Huahai Village can still reap the benefits. It's really not worth it."
"What should we do then?"
"I have a plan~" Xiaofang raised her arms, "I'll lead these adults away, and you just go in quietly~ Don't worry about me, as long as I'm in the woods, they can't catch me.
It’s just that we may not be able to meet again, so brothers and sisters must be careful.”
William squatted down and gently stroked Xiaofang's head with one hand. This was indeed the best way at the moment, and William did not choose to refuse.
"We may meet again in the future. Before that, Xiaofang, you must live well."
"Don't treat me like a child. Mom and Dad said that you have to be responsible when you're out there. You guys go hide. I'll lead them away quickly, or the others will come back."
"good."
Soon, a gust of cold wind blew past the cave entrance, and the four investigators guarding here all looked in the same direction.
A little girl wearing a rabbit mask appeared in the woods and waved at them in a very strange way.
"Lin Dong, go and take a look."
A tall man accepted the arrangement and rushed over suddenly, with the shadow of a tiger even appearing behind him, trying to take the little girl down directly.
Unexpectedly, after he rushed into the woods, he disappeared in an instant, and his breath was gone too.
The little girl still stood there and waved.
The investigator, realizing that something was amiss, stopped acting alone and prepared to surround the little girl from different angles.
Just as the three of them left the cave entrance and stepped into the woods, two figures quickly entered the cave.
The yellow paper and hemp rope used to seal the cave entrance and suppress evil spirits actually had no effect on the two people.
The moment the two of them stepped into the cave,
The sounds from the outside world completely disappeared, as if it was completely isolated from the outside world, and the scene inside made William pause for a moment.
"This... It seems that it is not the statue that has social phobia, but the villagers are afraid of this thing. Whether it is the yellow talisman in the forest or the seal constructed by hemp rope and yellow paper at the entrance of the cave, they were all set by the villagers.
On the one hand, they want to limit the evil nature of the Flower Sea Buddha Mother, and on the other hand, they want to borrow the Buddha Mother's divinity and the flower sea environment to gain the greatest benefit from it.
Really greedy... "
