Look directly at the Buddha Mother, when you see the face of this huge statue with your naked eyes.
Catherine shuddered all over.
Because she had absorbed the replica statues in the villagers' homes in advance, after passing through the strange caves along the way and being infected by the continuous sounds, Catherine's thinking was completely integrated at this moment.
Even if William held my hand, it would be useless.
Rice-sized bumps began to appear in her eye sockets, which quickly blossomed under the stimulation of the statue.
With the eyeball as the base, two gorgeous and moist blue flowers bloom quickly, replacing the role of the eyeball. The densely packed flower core in the center also creates a visual effect.
She also suddenly broke free from William's arms, took the initiative to walk to a cushion at the front of the temple, and knelt down to pray.
"Katherine!"
No matter how loudly William shouted, there was no response.
William was so anxious that he was sweating profusely in the face of the situation. He was even ready to carry Catherine on his shoulders and escape from here.
Buzz!
A wave of mental pressure came over me.
The corpses sitting on the cushions raised their heads and looked at William with their dazzled eyes, as if warning him not to touch the offerings of the Buddha Mother, otherwise he would bring disaster or curse upon himself.
William slapped himself on the head, trying to stay awake as much as possible and continued to walk towards Catherine.
Such a touching scene was naturally seen by the Buddha Mother, who became even more determined to use the two as sacrifices.
William took difficult steps, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the "flooded passage" leading to the temple, as if he was waiting for something to arrive.
Just as he was about to touch Catherine's arm, his peripheral vision finally caught sight of the ripples in the passage and the moving figures.
The next second, something shot out from the passage.
bullet!
William was prepared in advance and raised his right arm to block his head.
The bullet passed through the silencer and entered William's arm, hitting the surface of the bone and finally stopping.
Then, William used the familiar skill he had mastered since joining the organization - "rolling".
With the help of the half-meter sea water that overflowed the temple hall, he dodged the incoming bullets with a very smooth roll and landed steadily behind a flower man, using it as a cover.
Then he tensed the muscles of his right arm, and through regular muscle movements, he squeezed the bullet inside and forced it out.
call…
William, who was hiding behind the flower man, finally breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered, "You're so slow, there's almost no stairs to go down."
Flood channel
The investigator standing at the head of the team is named Wei Darong, 24 years old.
He once won the runner-up in the Linghai City Youth Shooting Competition. Later, he entered the Municipal Bureau for special training. He also has a semi-prosthetic metal round mirror inlaid on his face to improve his dynamic vision and concentration.
Logically speaking, you shouldn't miss a single-point shooting like this, where there's not much pressure.
However, during the time he spent deep in the cave, his overall condition deteriorated drastically due to humidity and water invasion.
When William blocked the first shot with his hand, he was visibly stunned, amazed at the other party's quick reaction. He obviously lacked confidence in the subsequent shots, and the other party rolled so fast that he failed to hit.
Just as he aimed at the flower man and was about to shoot through the corpse,
A huge hand suddenly came down and held down his hand that was about to shoot, and even the metal gun made a rattling sound.
The village chief, who was walking at the end of the team, had stood beside him without him noticing.
Bending over and moving the head,
The village chief's wrinkled and smiling face came up to the investigator who was about to shoot and said, "You can't shoot at the sacrifice, young man. If we anger the Buddha, we will all die here.
As far as the current situation is concerned,
The other party is a two-person team, and one of them has been chosen by the Buddha Mother to be the sacrifice. You only need to deal with one person, so there is no need to use this metal object, right
Moreover, if you capture this foreigner alive and hand him over to the city, you will be commended~ By then, Huahai Village will be completely stable, and you will be able to complete this investigation mission completely."
Only after Wei Darong nodded did the village chief let go of his hand.
There were four investigators on the scene, all of them were more or less tired due to the impact of the cave, and their legs felt like they were filled with lead, so they moved slowly.
At this time,
The village chief placed his hands on everyone's shoulders in turn, and some kind of sea cucumber structure inserted into the investigator's body, sucking away some of the sea water. Suddenly, he felt a lot more relaxed, and his condition increased from 50% to about 80%.
"Okay... I've helped you clean out some of the stuff in your body. My old bones have almost reached their limit, so I'll leave the rest up to you guys."
The village chief leaned against the passage, looking exhausted. Looking at the young investigators who entered the temple one after another, his heart was already filled with joy.
In his opinion, foreign teachers were a great help.
The Buddha Mother has been "malnourished" for some time, and the arrival of foreign elders will not only allow the Buddha Mother to taste something new.
At the same time, several high-quality sacrifices that have been cultivated in the urban area can be offered up, and their value is probably more than ten times higher than that of ordinary sacrifices.
At that time, the Buddha Mother will definitely be very happy and may even bestow greater blessings.
The temple showdown that is about to take place is more like a selection of sacrifices in the eyes of the village chief. No matter who wins or loses, the final outcome will be the same.
In his eyes, no matter who enters the temple where the Buddha Mother is, their fate is already determined.
Just as the village chief was immersed in the impending perfect ending and fantasized about accepting the gift of the Buddha and continuing to live for hundreds of years, the marine life in his body sensed something slightly.
As the sea cucumber on his back began to wriggle, the village chief suddenly looked behind him.
There was nothing but the sound of water dripping from the top of the passage and falling to the ground.
The village chief's current focus is still on the temple. Even if someone really comes to the cave passage, they are at most other investigators and will not affect the village chief's plan.
Temple
When the four investigators first stepped into the temple, they were also shocked by the layout here, especially the statue of the Mother Buddha, and an invisible pressure arose in their hearts.
Such a huge statue is rarely seen even in the urban area.
Just when they were preparing to make a quick decision, deal with the foreign old man and leave here quickly, the Buddha Mother moved!
A flower on the face of the Buddha Mother completely withered, which meant that the corresponding corpse had been completely sucked dry.
Poof! As if vomiting something, the completely dried up corpse, with even the bone marrow sucked out, was vomited out, and it immediately dissipated when it came into contact with the sea water.
Crunch! Crunch!
Root-like and intestinal-like threads grew out from the holes on the Buddha's face, entwined around Catherine, the special sacrifice, and dragged her up.
During the dragging process, seawater was still flowing out of the holes on the face.
Apparently, the Buddha Mother couldn't wait to taste this foreigner's special body.
Catherine's body was soon embedded in it, with only her head sticking out.
Facial implants have been formed.
Her scalp also showed obvious signs of movement. Just as her head was about to burst open like the other sacrifices and become a part of the Buddha,
Ka~The head cracked open,
However, what bloomed out were not flower petals, but octopus legs. More so, it was an oversized deep-sea octopus, and its tentacles actually wrapped around the statue's head in reverse.
Suction cups were firmly attached to it, as if absorbing the energy between the statues in reverse.
This scene made the investigators dumbfounded, and the village chief was so frightened that he stood up straight.
Only William, who was hiding behind the flower man, smiled.
He always believed in Catherine.
You have to know that Catherine comes from the largest arc sea in the old world. She is the only perfect experimental subject who escaped from the fish source. She is also an exception and a circus talent who became a deputy clown as an open source.
Therefore, the two of them were acting along the way, trying their best to appear weak and fearful, while also showing a certain strength so that the Buddha Mother would regard them as top-quality sacrifices.
What William needs to do next is to stop these people and buy enough time for Catherine.
No more hiding,
William stood up directly and took off his coat under the collective gaze of the investigators, revealing his perfect body.
Follow your inner rhythm, your throbbing pectoral muscles and invite the group to join in the wrestling action that follows.
Flood channel
The village chief was extremely panicked. He didn't understand why the foreign old man could still resist even though he had been planted on the face of the Buddha Mother, until he remembered some recent conversations with the investigator.
"Are they the so-called carriers of the disease? Can even gods... be infected?"
Just as the village chief was about to rush into the temple and tear Catherine, the giant octopus, off the face of the statue.
A cold murderous intent came from behind him, and the village chief even felt that he had been chopped into meat paste, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Turning suddenly,
In the passage that was empty just now, there was a mysterious man in a yellow raincoat standing, spinning an ordinary axe that was filled with murderous aura in his hand.
The lips under the hood of the raincoat moved steadily,
"I have been observing you for a long time. You should be the one who has received the most gifts here. You have lived for a long time, and your body has long transcended the category of humans.
It can even be called a 'messenger of God'.
I hope you can play with me for a little longer, and don’t die too quickly, village chief~"
"Who are you?"
As the chosen one of the Buddha Mother in the Flower Sea Village, the village chief has control over this sea area. Anyone who sets foot in the cave and comes into contact with the sea water will be sensed by him.
But even though the mysterious man wrapped in a raincoat was standing in front of him, he could not sense any breath.
It seemed as if the raincoat blocked everything, and it also seemed as if the murderous aura he exuded could wipe out everything around him.
At this time, the man took off his hood.
He showed a twisted expression that combined excitement, perversion and killing, and his tongue that had tasted countless sinful blood scraped lightly between his teeth.
He seemed to have smelled the evil in the village chief and was eager to execute him.
When he saw this face, the village chief's past memories were awakened.
Three years ago, newspapers, news apps, etc. in all major sectors were reporting on the same thing, with very clear profile pictures attached.
"The Immortal Killer?!"
