Chapter 121: I'm curious
It is certainly not correct to think of animate statues as living beings, in fact they are neither living creatures nor living creatures, they are merely animate, and if there is a real analogy, this thing may be closer to machinery.
So when Fu Ji Xianli removed the head of this stone statue, it still maintained a considerable degree of vitality...... Manaka Aoi's accusation seems to be in the right place, and dismantling limbs is a more correct choice.
Fortunately, Fu Jixianli can still make up for it, but he just starts in a different place - in fact, this kind of dissection of opening and closing, Fu Jixianli himself is still relatively familiar.
Taking advantage of the stone statue falling to the ground, Fu Ji Xianli dismantled its limbs one after another, and finally this thing was quiet...... Objectively speaking, in this case, it is definitely not possible to continue its activities.
"Feeling...... It feels like a crab peeling...... I'm kind of craving hairy crabs. After disassembling this thing in a short period of time and controlling the movement it emitted to a certain extent, Fu Jixian said as he pinched his left arm.
Although the main force is not his limbs but "tentacles", he should have a fast heartbeat, or a fast heartbeat, and a high blood pressure or blood pressure, so there was a faint tingling sensation in his arm again.
But his thinking is still very divergent, how does this situation and this situation be associated with eating crabs, can doing this kind of work stimulate appetite?
"Lijun...... Go back and see a psychiatrist, or sooner or later you will suffer from severe pica. "Aoi Manaka definitely didn't expect that this situation would stimulate the appetite of some people.
She walked more cautiously to the stone statue, which had been broken into several pieces, and after examining the section for a moment, she said, "The section is like a broken stone, but if you look closely, you can see that there seems to be a bone texture inside." ”
Aoi put the stone statue back into a rough human shape again, and then asked Fu Jixianli, "How is it, does this person look a little familiar...... I mean, the clothes on this statue don't look familiar. ”
Judging the identity of this craggy stone statue by its appearance is a little too unrealistic, but it is still wearing clothes...... Even though the clothes were in tatters, if you followed the clues, you could still see something.
"Familiar? It's really familiar, this kind of 'beggar's version of equipment' is commonly found on homeless people and street fighters. In fact, Fu Jixian didn't see anything.
Manaka Aoi had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, call up the photo he had just taken, and then take out a physical photo from his pocket, "How about it, let's look at it now." ”
The second photo she took out was a photo taken by Zhu Xingchi before coming to this village.
"The color of the jacket and pants matched, and the style of the clothes ...... It also seems to be unanimous. Fu Ji Xianli looked at the photo, then checked the torn clothes on the stone statue, and after comparing them with each other, he came to this conclusion, "In other words, is this stone statue the same Mr. Zhu Xingchi?"
It seems that he went through a big adventure before he died. ”
After almost confirming the identity of this person, Fu Jixian Li picked up its head and put it back.
"So this person came to this place because he was particularly interested in abnormal things and strange stories?" While speaking, Fu Jixian was about to search the stone statue, and after three pats and two pats on the stone statue, he touched a square object.
"It's his phone, it looks like it's saved well, but it seems to be out of battery." Fu Ji Xianli fiddled with the phone that wouldn't turn on, and then handed it to Aoi Manaka.
"I hope there is a little record left in this mobile phone, although we can already guess what the general situation is, but the details can be clarified or try to figure it out, so that we can explain to the client." Aoi Manaka put her phone away and said so.
Coming to the ancient well, the process of finding Zhuxingchi was actually relatively smooth, although there was a big battle with the stone man, but this small accident was nothing.
"From a commission perspective, we seem to have done the job...... Sister Aoi, how is it, do we still want to move forward? Fu Ji Xianli asked at Manaka Aoi.
Aoi Manaka took a picture of the stone statue again, and said, "There's no need for that, we can go back." In this kind of uncharted territory, the right thing to do is not to be driven by curiosity and unrestrained inward exploration, I think you must be able to understand this truth.
Not dabbling in areas that you don't understand at all is a responsible approach to your own life.
For example, I'm asking you now, Lijun, if you came here by yourself, do you still recognize the way back? ”
"I remember the direction we came, but ......" Fu Jixian glanced over there, then looked up to see that the round spot of light like the sun was above his head at this time.
"Looks like I'm running out of direction."
Facts show that in the face of such a problem, Fu Jixian can only keep shaking his head.
"To operate in this environment, at least I need eyes with spiritual vision, and even if I have such conditions, I won't go too deep."
Fortunately, Aoi Manaka knows the way, although I don't know how she knows the way...... Well, I hope it's not just fate.
"So now we're going back?"
Curiosity will definitely be curious, because this environment is full of unknowns and mysteries, but Fu Jixian will definitely not be impulsive when he should be rational...... It's not impossible for this kind of exploration to continue, but there is almost a ninety percent probability that he will lose his own life, and with all such simple choices, he still knows how to weigh it.
"Yes."
At this point, the two of them were about to go back, but at this moment, the stone head that Fu Jixian placed on the shoulder of the stone statue suddenly rolled twice for some reason.
Immediately afterward, the spike-like thing in its mouth suddenly flew towards Fu Ji Xianli like an arrow, and there was something like an earthworm attached to it, or it should be said that this was the "tongue" of the stone statue.
But everything is no longer the same, after being attacked suddenly, Fu Ji Xianli had already taken precautions against this, and his tentacles quickly pulled this thing down, "It's really a unique mouthball, I didn't expect it to be able to move after being dismantled like this...... If you want to check a man's mobile phone or computer hard drive, his reaction will often be so big. ”
Then, without saying a word, he directly ripped off the "tongue".
Unlike the toughness of the limbs, this thing broke into a few knots when it was pulled casually, but something strange happened, after the neck was broken, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the "throat" of the stone head, like a strong wind blowing through a small wind hole.
Fu Ji Xianli looked at the half of the "tongue" pinched by the tentacles, then at the face of Aoi Manaka, and then at the head on the ground, then he threw the "tongue" away, and then kicked the stone head that still made a sound away with a "foot".
"I don't know what's going on, but I know what we're going to do next."
Fu Ji Xianli said to Manaka Aoi like this, although his expression looked serious, but at this time, there was actually a little innocence in his eyes...... Well, he certainly didn't mean to complicate things.
"I know what you know to do and what to do, so ...... You can do that. Aoi Manaka was helpless, she said such a string of tongue twisters.
So Fu Ji Xianli walked to Zhenzhong Aoi and hugged her, and Sister Aoi even stretched out her hands very cooperatively...... What to do is definitely worth it or not to hug her, this is just a "precondition"...... Next, I saw Fu Ji Xianli's body suspended in the air, and then moved towards the direction guided by Aoi Manaka at a strange high speed.
It's like a floating ghost.
There is no doubt that the only thing they should do at this point is to "run away".
Anyway, how did the octopus tell it to move in advance, and how Fu Jixian moved at this time, this is the general nature of the tentacle monster.
Running and running, Mazhong Aoi patted Fu Ji Xianli on the shoulder, "Lijun, you look back." ”
Fu Ji Xianli followed and turned around, and then he saw the silhouettes of human figures densely appearing in the mist, thinking that all of these figures would be as hard as stones, so Fu Ji Xianli ran faster.
"It's okay, stop, close your eyes and climb up."
Fu Jixian closed his eyes very obediently, and after seeing it, he naturally wouldn't be disturbed by vision, and he didn't know why, anyway, he really touched the vertical wall next.
Fu Jixian breathed a sigh of relief so that he could crawl back to the ground.
"Sister Aoi, I have a bad premonition."
"What?"
"According to you, this kind of place should be called 'Dream of the Old Gods', right, I always think that I will come back to this kind of place sooner or later."
I don't know why, Fu Jixian did vaguely have such a feeling.
"You think too much, I promise that after a good night's sleep, there will be no such delusion." Manaka Aoi didn't seem to care about such a thing, after all, she had already encountered a similar environment, and she belonged to an experienced person, "I thought you were worried about whether those stone statues would climb up with you."
Now I'm a little skeptical of what I said...... Is the staircase on the wall of the ancient well for the priest to go down with the sacrifices, or for the things below to go up? ”
“…… If so...... Could we have poked a big basket? ”
"No, there is no 'we', I should say that you may have a big basket."
"Sister Aoi, why do you say such hurtful words, shouldn't we share honor and disgrace?"
The two of them quickly climbed to the ground, not caring about the nonsense they had just had, they were really worried about whether the stone statues would follow, and the small village certainly did not have the ability to withstand such an "attack" - it felt like those stone statues were at least something that only chariots could deal with.
So after the two returned to the ground, they did not choose to leave directly, but stayed here, worried about accidents.
Until it was almost dawn, nothing had happened, it was very quiet outside, and the whole village was sleeping quietly, so Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi also put their minds at ease and returned to the inn at dawn.
It's almost dawn, and there is no need for the two of them to sleep.
…………
After charging the phone slightly, it turned on normally.
The password must have a password, but after Aoi connected this phone to the portable computer he brought, he didn't have much trouble directing the contents of the phone.
"Sister Aoi, why are you so skilled in this kind of thing?"
"Li-kun, do you think this is a difficult thing?"
"Forehead ......"
Fu Jixian thought about it ideally, and it didn't seem to be very difficult for those who understood.
After a little inspection, Aoi Manaka found some text files in it, so she began to check the photos on her phone.
From the photos of the village, it looked like normal landscape photos at first, and then suddenly one of the photos became a picture of the brother and sister with a very weird wooden sticker, life-size puppet.
"This should be the sacrifice prepared at the 'Stone Hunting Sacrifice', and these two people really touched it secretly." Aoi Manaka said.
Fu Ji Xianli nodded.
Some of the photos that follow are some of the photos taken on the night of the festival, and judging from these photos, the festival really had that atmosphere.
And then there are some close-ups of the ancient well, including the inside of the well.
At this end of the photo, Aoi Manaka and Fu Ji Hyunri glanced at each other and then began to examine the remaining video files.
In the first paragraph, the first thing that caught their eyes was a car.
"Alright, let's stop here, and then we should turn back...... We're gone, but we're not, haha. ”
The view of the phone's camera has been fixed on the car, but a man's voice has been heard.
The environment in the frame is relatively dark, indicating that the video should have been recorded late.
The person who spoke should be Zhu Xingchi, and then Zhu Xingxian's voice also came out, but because of the wind and the fact that she was a little far away from the radio range of her mobile phone, she didn't hear what she was talking about Fu Ji Xianli and Zhenzhong Kui didn't hear clearly.
"It can't be helped, the locals have been forbidding tourists to approach the well, and there is obviously an up-and-down road there, so it's exciting to think about what is going on down there...... Hopefully, the footage we shoot will have a corresponding value.
Okay, we're ready for a special quest. ”
Then the phone was picked up, Zhu Xingchi's face flashed away, and then the picture was cut off...... That's it for the first video.
"Sure enough, it is self-defeating, I can only say that if I don't die, I won't die." In addition to saying this, Fu Jixian didn't know how to evaluate the other party's behavior at this time.
"Curiosity kills cats." Aoi Manaka seems to have the same opinion.
But just as they were about to move on to the next video, there was a commotion outside.
Before you know it, it's getting dark.
Someone was running outside.
"Early in the morning, what's wrong?"
"Oh no, there seems to be an accident at the shrine......"
