Several people began to grope in the temple, and Qiu Xuan's eyes kept paying attention to the Buddha statue on the high platform in the center. Maybe it's a psychological effect, or maybe it's because she's seen too many terrifying scenes, and she always feels that the eyes of the Buddha with a peaceful face and low eyebrows above are turning with their movements.

In all fairness, although it is not known which mythological system the statue is carved from, it is very rare to have a normal and benevolent Buddha statue in such an environment. He looked exactly like a serious Buddha except for some angry-eyed Buddhas, peaceful, compassionate, bowed and merciful, always kind and loving to every person who stepped into the temple grounds.

But it was precisely like this that made Qiu Xuan feel disobedient.

Because from the time they stepped into the temple to the time when they were driven out of the hall by the villagers, this whole temple gave her the feeling of being depressed and killed, and even with a breath of death. Because of the necromantic space, she is very sensitive to this kind of "qi", even if there are bright red and festive scenery everywhere, it can't hide the rancid death gas that has been coming from below.

"Why do you always stare at the Buddha statue?" Shen Jingxue noticed that Qiu Xuan was distracted, and asked casually and took a look. Originally, it was just a casual glance, but this glance made him pause in place, and his face sank.

"What's wrong?"

"You've been staring at it and you haven't noticed?" Shen Jingxue said in a very slow and soft tone, as if saying it loudly would disturb something. "It's watching us."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qing suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, looked back at the Buddha statue and slowly retreated, ready to leave at any time. Qiu Xuan frowned, although most of the previous senses were psychological, but because she had been paying attention, she remembered very clearly that from the moment they stepped into the temple gate, the Buddha statue had been obediently staying in the same place, both the eyes and the expression on the face were the same as when they came, and there had been no change.

"What do you see?" Qiu Xuan took a step back and asked Shen Jingxue softly as well. I saw Shen Jingxue slowly move a few steps to the left with a solemn face, and after moving away, the expression on her face became even worse.

"Its eyes are moving, don't you see?" Shen Jingxue said in a low voice, "Wherever we go, it will see it." ”

If it weren't for the problem with his ability to see, Qiu Xuan really didn't see the Buddha's eyes moving.

“…… Could it be that you are mistaken, I didn't see it moving. Ye Qing stood at the threshold, looked at it carefully, and said.

Shen Jingxue roared, "So you don't know it's looking at you now!" ”

These words not only gave Ye Qing goosebumps, but Qiu Xuan touched the cold hair on his arm and couldn't stand it. "Let's get out of the way." She said, "Don't stay inside and talk about it anyway. ”

The rest of the people agreed, and when they completely left the confines of the temple, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and eased up again.

Shen Jingxue wrinkled her eyebrows, "How is it possible, you haven't seen it, is it just me?" ”

Qiu Xuan looked at Qin Jiuyuan, who patted the wall ash that was stained on his clothes, and said indifferently: "I also saw it, its eyes are indeed moving." ”

Qiu Xuan was silent for two seconds before suddenly speaking. "Wait, are you sure we're seeing the same Buddha statue?"

“…… What I saw was a kind-looking Buddha, with his eyes lowered, all covered in gold, and his hands seemed to be holding a ...... A spike? I'm not sure, but it seems that no god has a nail in his hand. Ye Qing was the first to speak.

Qiu Xuan's interface, "It's just a spike, I should see it the same as you." ”

At that moment, hearing them say this, Shen Jingxue's expression was wrong.

"What I see...... It is a bodhisattva of a woman. ”

"There was nothing wrong with it at the beginning," Shen Jingxue's brows furrowed extremely tightly. "I feel that my face is also very compassionate, but the Bodhisattva is holding a piece of cloth in his hand. But next...... It was when I asked Afu why she was staring at her that the idol began to change. The corners of its mouth, which had been slightly pulled down, began to rise, and then, its eyes rolled and began to look at us. ”

Qiu Xuan subconsciously turned back and glanced at the place of the temple, but they had already walked out of the road at this time, and when they turned back, they could only see a piece of black light.

But based on Shen Jingxue's words, she could probably imagine that the female "Bodhisattva" was squatting on the shrine, holding a piece of red cloth in her hand and smiling strangely at them, her eyes rolling in her sockets staring at everyone who entered the temple.

Qin Jiuyuan also acquiesced relatively cooperatively, "What I see is the same. ”

So, now among the four people, they see two completely different gods.

And according to what is this divided, is it the same gender?

The tailor shop owner said red cloth, what does it have to do with the Bodhisattva they saw in Shen Jingxue's hand.

Before the sun set, they rushed back to the small bungalow where they lived.

When the half of the executioners who had gone out to look for clues returned, the other half were sitting silently eating with the student group. The scene looked very weird, everyone was mechanically picking up the food in their hands, except for the sound of swallowing, there was a dead silence, and I didn't know what it was like a pyramid scheme.

Ji An was stunned, found Chen Ming in the grilled rice team, sat down and asked quietly, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Ming sighed silently, shook his head, and obviously didn't want to say more, thinking that there was some unpleasant friction between him and the students.

It's just that two people didn't come back.

By the time they had finished their supper quickly and silently, and it was completely dark outside, people began to realize that something was wrong.

There were a total of eight executioners in charge of finding clues in the village that afternoon, in addition to Qiu Xuan's four-person team, there were also two two-person teams. Ji An's group came back after them, but the remaining two have not come back until now.

Chen Ming's face was very ugly, "Where did they go?" ”

"The widow we went to, the tailor's shop where Afu and they went, those two should have gone to Orion's house." Ji An thought for a moment, "When we were separated in the afternoon, I seemed to see the two of them walking towards the end of the village. ”

"But didn't the villagers say that bad things will happen when you go out after the sun goes down?" Now at night, the executioners were not very afraid to let the students stay in another room by themselves, so for the time being, they were mixed in the group, and one of the female students was afraid to speak. "Will they have ......?"

Everyone's faces are not good-looking, but no one wants to go out and find those two people in this situation.

Only waiting.

If you can't wait for a long time at night, the end is basically doomed.

Chen Ming sighed, "Then let's exchange clues first, and you can't just sit here and waste time." ”

"I'll start with that," Ji An began. "When we passed, the widow did not let us in, saying that it had an effect on her name. But in fact, according to the information we have heard, she often stays with the men in the village, both married and unmarried. Then we asked her why she had the dead student's bracelet, and she told us she didn't know about it, and that the bracelet was bought from a stall. ”

"So we found the stall again, and the owner of the stall said that the jewelry was only taken from the corpse, and no one cared about it after all."

"How can they do that!" After hearing this, a student was filled with righteous indignation, "Xiaoqi's bones are not cold, it's just too much!" ”

"That villager is quite bold," this is the opinion of the executioner. "The skin of that corpse has been stripped off in its entirety, and it dares to look for the jewelry it is wearing."

Next to the executioner who was talking, Misabeth, the only complete newcomer, looked at him with a grimace and sat away from everyone with a trembling face, as if it would have some immunity.

This is the clue that Ji'an has them, or it can be said, this is the clue they are willing to tell.

Shen Jingxue glanced at Qiu Xuan, who motioned to him indifferently, so the man cleared his throat and also picked and chose to tell the four of them what they had encountered in the afternoon.

Qiu Xuan noticed that when Shen Jingxue was talking, several girls in the student group were peeking at him. After all, most of the executioners here look fierce and difficult to mess with, and this relatively gentle onmyoji has already shown good knowledge and professionalism when he visited the tomb this morning.

They should really be shown what Shen Jingxue looked like when she was working with the tailor shop owner in the afternoon.

Shen Jingxue only mentioned that the decorated marriage hall in the temple was not allowed to enter, and did not mention the matter of the Buddha statue. The mere fact that the couple was getting married a week later was enough to get the executioners to take notice, and they decided to explore the grave in the course of a week, lest anything go wrong.

Soon, it was late at night.

Those two people still haven't come back, although they don't say it on the surface, in fact, most people know in their hearts that they may not come back. Chen Ming brushed his hair and glanced at the depressed crowd.

"Let's all sleep together tonight." She said, "But one house definitely can't fit so many people, and my proposal is that everyone is disrupted and divided into two batches, and if something happens, call next door, so that it is safer." ”

Indeed, after the kind of thing that happened last night, they couldn't have let the students live on their own. Otherwise, if you die at this rate, it won't be long before you will be wiped out.

There was no opinion from the students' side, so the executioner's team was divided into two groups as in the afternoon, and the two teams were mixed in the students' team and divided the rooms.

Qiu Xuan and the four of them were still together, and at the same time, there were also members of Ji An and his team in the afternoon in this house.

"Chen Ming," out of kindness, when the other group returned to the bungalow next door, Qiu Xuan stopped the woman. "Tell you executioners who had a 'dream' last night, especially the girl who didn't get out of the coffin last night. I suspect it's going to happen tonight, and there's a good chance that death is real death. There is something unclean in the auditorium where the coffin is placed, so watch out for yourself. ”

Chen Ming was silent for a moment, "I know, thank you." ”

None of them were going to sleep in a small room alone today, and it was better to lay on the cold and hard floor than to die alone in the room. There were twelve people in their room, and the floor was spread from the doorway to the end of the corridor, and I didn't know if I thought they had strayed into some village morgue.

“…… Sister, can I sleep with you? ”

may be because there are only two girls in this team of executioners, Qiu Xuan and Ye Qing, and soon a girl in the student group found her. There was that girl as the beginning, and after a while, Qiu Xuan was surrounded by groups.

"Hmm...... Since we are exactly six against six people, I recommend sleeping one by one. Qiu Xuan thought for a while, "How about you draw two people to my left and right, and then lie down like this?" ”

"Yes." "Agreed."

Most people readily agreed, and only some didn't know what they were thinking.

"Why are you putting a stinky face everywhere?" Taking advantage of the last bit of time, everyone washed up and changed clothes, Qiu Xuan sat next to "some people" and felt a little funny, and asked half-jokingly.

The man, who said that there were some people, was actually only one person, and he glanced at her, "We don't have to sleep with them like this. ”

"Yes, but it's safer. If we are dragged into a dream and die, then we can't do anything, but in other aspects, we can at least adjust the remedial strategy in time. ”

The man stopped talking.

It seems that they don't want to stay outside for too long, even these aboriginal students, they wash and change clothes very quickly, as if they will be dragged away by something behind them if they are too late. Everyone went into the bunks according to the divided beds, Qiu Xuan patted the shoulder of the person next to him, and got up to go to bed.

"Be careful tonight."

Qin Jiuyuan suddenly spoke, and Qiu Xuan raised his hand at him. "I'll send you a message to wake me up if necessary."

In the hidden darkness of the night, the pure black rings at the base of her fingers were so deep and heavy that they seemed to absorb the darkness around her.

……

Sure enough, it is not something they can take the initiative to fall into "dreams" at night.

Qiu Xuan squinted her eyes and sat on the chair, and the cold wind with a huge temperature difference in the middle of the night stabbed her face.

She was forced to sleep again tonight. Originally, she was lying on the floor and wondered if she would be able to avoid entering this inner world if she didn't fall asleep, but a few minutes later, a similar situation to the first night reappeared, and she couldn't control it at all, and she fell into a deep sleep.

For now, the plot of each night is cohesive.

Qiu Xuan was wearing the same fiery red wedding dress and was tied to a modified motorcycle, and in front of her, the hideous abstract graffiti on the gas mask seemed to grin at her.
