5. Statue of the Evil God

I would never go in and suffer again, and in two hours I would marry Lamia. I must not allow my low-hanging happiness to be overshadowed once again.

I said, "That's too risky, especially since two people with high positions and extraordinary status, how can they enter such danger in person?" ”

"You're from outside, and you really don't know how boring it is to be in a black coffin," Michael said. I've racked my brains for a little excitement, and now it's a rare opportunity, and I can't wait for a moment. ”

Looking at him, he looks like a naughty boy who has found a new toy, and he can't be dissuaded.

Isn't this a great opportunity for me? These two are the most powerful of the powerful, the most senior of the high-ranking officials, they want to have fun, so I will accompany them to have some fun, why not?

I thought back to the scenes in Henry's mansion and thought I could handle it. Even if these two boys are controlled by the shadows, I can rescue them.

I don't think they have the courage to get to the bottom of it, and most of them will soon be scared half to death, and then give up halfway. All I have to do is let them in safely and leave safely, and when they have tasted the bitterness, the matter will be over, and they will be grateful to me.

Essentially, what they are looking for is just a little bit of talk to their friends.

What's more, they said they were going to give me a mysterious gift, which really made my heart flutter.

I said, "All right, but you'd better get ready and wear some body armor or something." "I'm sure the bullets won't work against those figures, and maybe they will end up hurting themselves, and they won't be used.

Michael laughed, "No, we've learned some self-defense techniques." ”

Their so-called self-defense techniques are mostly flashy tricks, but they are noble frogs at the bottom of the well, and they can say whatever they want.

I breathe a lot in front of the mansion, which is the breathing method taught by Ochide, which can refresh the mind and dispel fatigue. Then I reached out to open the door, but it didn't move. That's when I remember saying that the door would not be accessible until tomorrow morning.

Michael and Legang stared at me like judges. I was uncomfortable with my back – if I couldn't even open the door, would they think I was a liar by mistake?

Once again, I shook the doorknob and couldn't help but remember the situation not long ago, when life and death were on the line. It was as if I could feel my shadow wrapping around every nerve, every muscle, every inch of my spine, and the coldness that penetrated deep into my soul.

Michael exclaimed, "Shadow? Look! Legang, his shadow. ”

Legang didn't make a sound, but his breathing became heavier, like an alert wolf.

I saw my shadow stand up and push the door, and a shadow door opened back. I looked back at the two of them, Michael and Lesteel nodded, and we walked into the haunted house of shadows.

The room was as eerie and dark as it was when I left. Michael and Legang stiffened for a moment, unable to move, and let out a muffled whisper, like sleepwalkers, speaking incomprehensible and incoherent dream words. I saw their shadows wrap around their bodies like pythons, each drawing his own weapons—silver scimitars and swords—and stabbing them into their hearts.

I can move, I grasp their shadows with my shadow and force them apart. The two shouted in unison, swaying like tumblers.

Their shadows turned and slammed at me, and their skills were extremely powerful, the scimitar slashed horizontally, the long sword stabbed straight forward, I gave up resisting the long sword, and raised the dagger to block the scimitar, the long sword stabbed me in the heart, and the hardening potion saved my life. The scimitar shook my arm sore, and the shadow of the strangler grabbed me, and I kicked him in the door, and he threw me hard against the wall, and I felt like I had hit the steel plate, and my back hurt like a broken bone.

I got up from the ground, blood running from the corners of my mouth, but at the same time, I made an important discovery, I saw that their shadows were connected to each of them by a thin thread, and perhaps it was this thin thread that provided strength to their shadows.

I shouted, "Two waste shadows, you can't kill me!" "The shadow lunged at me, one graceful and changeable, the other agile and agile, as if I were facing two Lamias. I stepped back, keeping my distance from them, and they made a lot of moves at me, but the scavenger instincts made me better at dodging, and they almost hurt me, but they were a little short.

That's when my shadow finally got hold of it. I sent it to cut the thin thread that connected the body, and it did, and in this room, it seemed that only the shadows could cut the shadows, and in the next moment, the two shadows fell unbalanced, and their bodies spasmed violently, without a trace.

Michael and Legang stood still, and I saw drops of red blood on Michael's face, as if he was injured. But if you look closely, it doesn't look like a wound, it looks like red sweat! Michael gasped, wiped the blood with his handkerchief, made a fancy gesture, and smiled, "It's wonderful, Splendide." "It seems to be old French.

Le Gang nodded, "It seems that this control spell is no longer effective against us for the time being. ”

Michael said: "I almost died here, and this haunted house is so worthy of its name that even we almost fell here." ”

Le Gang said: "Is it Larsen? ”

Michael said, "It's indeed Larsen's spell, but it's much more sophisticated, I've never imagined anything like it, Remarquable." ”

Legang pointed at me and said, "This gentleman can fight against this Larsen's mystery." ”

I had no clue what they were talking about as "Larsen", but with my head held high and I pretended to be confident, it was the perfect time for me to become famous.

Michael laughs, "We've found a master master who is hidden. ”

I said, "You two, it's time for us to go, it's impossible to predict what else is going to be terrible." ”

"On the contrary, the show has just begun. His eyes gleamed as he walked towards the portrait of the woman.

In a moment, we were no longer in our room, but in a quiet meadow, surrounded by birds and flowers, and covered with thorns and roses, and a hundred meters away we saw an altar in which sat the woman in the picture, covered in blood, who died peacefully on her seat. In her hand, she holds a statue the size of an apple.

The statue was a girl curled up in a ball, delicately crafted but awkwardly shaped, as if she had been deliberately carved beyond recognition.

Michael began to tremble, and that was because he was so excited. He fell to his knees and shouted, "Statue of the goddess Ix! Oh my God, my God! Is there a statue of Iks here? ”

I was afraid that Michael would go crazy and asked Legang, "What's wrong with Mr. Michael?" ”

"He found the collection that haunted him," Legang said. ”

We've obviously been teleported to another dimension, but if we take the statue, we'll be able to go back.

Michael suddenly rushed towards the altar, and at this moment, more than a dozen shadows surrounded Michael. I was taken aback and hurried to the rescue, but it was too far away.

Michael screamed, and a blood-red armor appeared out of thin air, enveloping his head and body, and the shadow scythe slashed at him, but the armor was shattered, like flowing water hitting a rock. Michael stabbed his sword with a swift movement that outperformed Lamia, and he stabbed the three shadows in the vital point, which here appeared to be entities, screamed in pain, and knelt down.

My scalp was numb, and I was surprised, but I didn't expect that this seemingly weak boy was stronger than Lamia and Milse.

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded when I saw the change in Legang, who had become an upright black-haired wolf, with a human-like body and hair like a steel brush, quite similar to Vasilissa of the Sword and Shield Society. He raised his hand to the wolf and roared into the battle, tearing the black shadow apart with his claws. If Michael is both offensive and defensive, Legang is a pure saboteur, he attacks so fiercely that the enemy has not yet made a move, and has been completely destroyed by him.

More shadows killed them, Michael laughed, and pointed at the two shadows, who listened to his command and killed their colleagues. Le Steel became faster and stronger, like a black wind, and he flashed through it, crushing seven enemies in just a few seconds. Shadows emerge one after another, enveloping the two of them.

Michael said, "Longi, go get the statue, I suspect the two of us can't break the seal on the top!" ”

I carefully subdued the Eye of Odin to avoid being flanked, and as the Shadow was pinned down by the two of them, I had a smooth ride. When I came to the dead lady, she did not move and smiled serenely. I went to grab the statue, but it was just an illusion.

I couldn't figure out how the space shifted in this room, but it was similar to the door, and I let my shadow appear, and it touched the statue and took it from the lady's body.

In the next moment, the scene changed abruptly, and I saw a number of closed doors around the woman, and they disappeared in an instant, and we returned to the haunted house, where Henry's mansion was still dotted with black shadows, but to the extent that it was as bad as the mold that had been missed during cleaning, and it was not horrifying.

Michael dissipated his armor, Legang returned to his human form, Michael's face was covered in blood and sweat, and Legang was still calm. From this, I judged that Le Gang was a battle-hardened man who was far more accustomed to fighting than Michael.

Michael looked cautious and said, "Please allow me to take a look." He put on a pair of gloves and picked up the statue of Ix. He couldn't take his eyes off it, with a look of obsession, examining the artifact from all angles and details. He muttered to himself: "This is an antiquity from the Mayan civilization, the evil goddess of Ix, which has existed since the first millennium BC, it is genuine, and it must not be wrong." Splendide,Excellent! ”

I noticed a stir in the room, and I said, "Hurry up and take this statue away." ”

Michael said urgently: "Ignorant! What nonsense! The statue is very old, and as soon as it leaves the house, it is immediately weathered. ”

I said, "There's shadow protection on it, so it's not going to be that vulnerable." ”

Michael's expression was panicked and hesitant, and he said, "In case something goes wrong, how do you compensate?" ”

Le Gang said: "The statue is bound by the house, if it is kept for a long time, I am afraid that it will alarm more 'guards', and how much of your divine blood is left?" ”

Michael said, "Yes, yes. I have a way. He squeezed his palm, and blood flowed out, turning into a circle of red crystals that surrounded the statue. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Now, my two friends, let us leave quickly and return with a full load." ”
