1270 Assassin Field
As soon as he stepped into the confines of the Assassin Temple, the cold night wind suddenly blew, causing the thinly clothed "Young Master" to shiver.
"This place is a bit evil...... Lin Chi said.
The four members of the guard gathered around him with solemn faces, the torches in their hands to dispel the dark shadows around them, and at the same time illuminate the plants planted in the courtyard.
In the courtyard in front of the Assassin Temple, the stone path was lined with dark blue flowers, emitting a choking scent in the night breeze, making it feel like an elevator ride with a woman who had been sprayed with too much perfume.
"Young master, I suggest leaving immediately." Shen Wenchong's tone was serious: "Something is wrong here......"
"It's okay, it's that you're thinking too much." Lin Chi looked up at the dark clouds in the night sky.
The "limit state" is where this comes in handy. He didn't feel anyone else's breath except Moria, who was secretly observing,
In this temple, there are only himself and his guards. The strange wind was just a coincidence.
Lin Chi and the guards came to the door of the temple, only to see that the walls of this wooden building in disrepair had long been decayed, and it looked like it would fall down when it was pushed, and the broken wooden door could not be locked at all, hanging at the door.
"Put out the torches, don't set this house on fire." Lin Chi looked at the door frame that was about to fall.
It seems that even the assassin organization did not think about repairing this building, the interior of the Assassin Temple can be described as extremely dilapidated, and the dilapidated wooden house in front of him is about to collapse, even the homeless will not live in it.
"Young master, do you really want to go in?" Shen Wenchong asked in a low voice.
"Hurry up." Lin Chi said that he was about to walk in.
Shen Wenchong had no choice but to push open the broken wooden door first, and as the pioneer, he was the first to enter the Assassin Temple, and several people behind him also rushed in, vigilantly observing the situation in the temple.
Moonlight poured through the holes in the ceiling, keeping the temple from being dark. The floor under his feet seemed to be polished smooth, and the refracted moonlight made Lin Chi's vision clearer.
Then, countless eyes lit up from the darkness of the wall, watching the few people who entered the temple.
The guards instantly drew their short swords and prepared for battle. However, it soon became apparent that it was not the eyes of the creatures that were staring at them, but the glass beads embedded in the walls.
"It's a nasty design." Lin Chi commented.
He stepped forward, accustomed to the darkness of his eyes, and saw the wooden "face" inscribed on the wall, and the glass beads embedded in the eye sockets.
It has to be said that the carving of these faces in the Assassin Temple is very finely carved, and even the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are clearly visible. The more closely you look at it, the more mad it looks.
"I said, are these really carvings?"
Lin Chi stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little fat hand, and stroked the cold cheeks of the wood carving: "Could it be someone who was cursed to death, and his face emerged from the wooden wall?" ”
"Young master, don't say any more. Next...... Not good at dealing with this kind of thing. Shen Wenchong said tremblingly.
- Is this guy afraid of ghosts?
Noticing Shen Wenchong's scared look, Lin Chi couldn't help but want to tease him. But before Lin Chi could make a move, a crisp sound suddenly sounded in the corner behind him:
Syllable!
"Who?"
The two guards stood in front of Lin Chi in an instant, and aimed their swords in the direction where the voice came from.
What came into view were broken branches in the corners, as well as ...... A black cat stretched and slipped away against the wall.
"Young master, can we go?" Shen Wenchong said tremblingly.
"You can go out and wait, I'll be fine here." Lin Chi looked around, looking for something like a god under the "gaze" of the glass eyeballs.
The design of the temple is very malicious at first glance, and at midnight the faces on the walls are blurred, and no matter where the visitor stands, all the "eyeballs" seem to be staring at themselves.
In addition, Lin Chi also noticed that the corners of all the wood carved faces on the wall seemed to be slightly raised, revealing a "kind" smile.
Although their expressions are not terrifying on people, in the dead of night, in the face of hundreds of faces smiling at them, the horror index undoubtedly soars instantly.
"This architect knows very well...... Lin Chi complained.
"I just want to cut off his head." Shen Wenchong was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still.
"Don't be nervous, Shen Wenchong." Lin Chi said casually, and came to a statue facing the gate of the hall.
The wooden statue disappeared from the waist up, leaving only a pair of slightly bent legs and a short dagger hanging from the waist.
Judging by this familiar pose, the statue should depict an assassin on the go. Lin Chi stepped forward, stared down at the base of the statue, and struggled to identify the two lines of Chinese characters inscribed on the base with the help of the moonlight:
"To the laughing Grim Reaper, and to the gods of the assassins."
"You assassinate the enemy, and we harvest the soul."
- Did this cargo cross over from the city of Sodom?
When he saw this sculpture, Lin Chi immediately remembered the altars in Sodom City, and the demons that were worshipped as gods.
He closed his eyes and tried to call out to the "gods" in the same way as in the city of Sodom. But this time, nothing appeared.
There were no demonic whispers in his consciousness, and nothing changed in the temple. The legendary "God of Assassins" did not respond to Lin Chi's silent call at all.
- Is this just an ornament, and that the Assassin commander is playing tricks?
However, when it comes to communicating with the gods, there should be another connoisseur.
"Put away your weapons, my men are coming in." Lin Chi reminded.
He consciously contacted his vampire saintess, and two seconds later, a familiar white shadow appeared in front of the door of the Assassin Temple.
"Don't come here!" Shen Wenchong shouted.
"Don't get excited, she's my man." Lin Chi said again: "Put down your weapon!" ”
"Master, I'm coming."
Mo Liya walked into the dilapidated Assassin Temple, stood in front of Lin Chi, lifted her skirt and bowed slightly: "What do you need me to do?" ”
"I want you to help me contact the 'gods' in this temple." Lin Chi pointed to the bust sculpture beside him: "Can you do it?" ”
"This place doesn't look like any god." Moria frowned and looked at the face carvings on the wall, "I don't feel anything. ”
"Try it, if not, forget it." Lin Chi said.
"Do as you command."
After receiving Lin Chi's instructions, Mo Liya stood in front of the bust statue and closed her eyes, slowly raised her head, and her body was bathed in the moonlight.
After waiting for a moment, noticing that Moriya opened her eyes again, Lin Chi immediately asked, "Did you sense anything?" ”
"Nothing." Moria shook her head.
Hearing this, Shen Wenchong, who had been standing next to him without moving, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Mo Liya's next sentence made Lin Chi, who was about to leave, stop again:
"I can't describe it, but it seems like some kind of 'post station'?"
