Chapter 61: A Mystery Within a Mystery
I want to ignore it, I don't want to let myself behave in any way, after all, some gods are very realistic, and those eyes will give people the feeling of being stared at.
But the feeling was too strong, like a pair of eyes full of chill and gloom, looking at me inexplicably, and I didn't know why I was aroused with an irresistible anger and resistance, and I looked up directly at the statue under the black veil.
Just by looking at it, this idol made my heart tremble, because I was no stranger to it at all, wasn't this the idol I had seen with Shen Jingyun when we were exploring the little black house?
The doll enshrined in bloody entrails.
I don't think I'll ever forget that little dark room, that horrible memory, the first exercise of my endurance.
Now, the statue of the god has been magnified countless times, and it is the one in front of me, but I have a strange misty feeling that I can't see its appearance clearly, and I only remember that pair of gloomy eyes, which are infinitely magnified in front of my eyes, forcing me to look at me, trying to suppress me.
And I, at that moment, seemed to have forgotten the passage of time, and also forgot the environment I was in, and there was an unyielding indomitable in my soul, and I actually looked at these terrifying eyes fiercely! In front of me, how can it arrogantly want to suppress me? I bit my lower lip! I don't know where this deep thought came from.
This eye contact seems to have passed for a long time, and it seems that it is less than a second, just like a long game, and like a master's move, just for a moment, I don't have any concrete and real feeling, only feel that it is a game of will and strength.
"Holy Maiden?" At this moment, the voice of the red-clothed elder suddenly sounded in my ears, and I was awakened from this hallucination.
I don't know how much time has passed, and I was worried about how to explain it to the red-clothed elder, when suddenly I felt that the idol above seemed to smile at me mysteriously, and its appearance was ...... For the first time in my heart, I felt such fear, and I almost screamed, but I forcibly held back, and my lower lip bit painfully.
I think I'm going to be exposed, it's a completely uncontrollable accident, it's a split second thought.
Unexpectedly, the red-clothed elder took the initiative to use his misunderstanding to relieve me, and he turned to the so-called Protestants and said, "Have you seen that? The piety of the saint is just a worship, and she shed the purest tears in front of God, which is the feeling that only God can have when her heart is touched and she feels it all the time. ”
I was speechless, I did feel the so-called God, but ..... My heart was full of heaviness and doubts, and I couldn't breathe, but I couldn't express them here. Instead of the reminder of the elder in red, I didn't know that I was in tears, so I reached out and touched it quietly, and it was indeed tearful.
I'm sure I didn't have any emotions in my heart, except fear and doubt, which could only be explained by the dreamlike game just now, my eyes were so tired, or I bit myself so much that I burst into tears.
I didn't say anything, smiled slightly, and stepped aside, and when I looked at the idol again, it was back to normal, still hidden by the black veil, and I couldn't see anything.
Then, the congregation began to worship reverently, and I kept playing that horrible smile in my heart...... Once, the first time I saw this idol was in that little dark room, it was placed on top of a head, dirty and indistinct, and I did not dare to look at the idol for the first time because it was the first time I had encountered such a terrible thing, so the impression left was blurred.
But I don't know why, I dared to reach out and pick up the statue at that time, but I was called by Shen Jingyun to interrupt me carefully, and then it should have been Shen Jingyun who took the statue, because I was entangled by Xu Lili's ghost at the time, and I can't remember the details clearly. I only remember that in the end, it should be the small black house that was blocked, and Shen Jingyun didn't mention the little black house again, let alone the mysterious idol.
I thought I had forgotten the details of the idol, after all, what it looked like was only a vague impression on me, but when I saw the "deity" of this idol today, I immediately matched it with the puppet in the little black house, and I was very sure that they were the same idol.
Strangely, such a huge statue, gorgeous and clean in front of me, I still can't see its face clearly, but a pair of its eyes appear in my mind.
It was only just now that it smiled at me mysteriously, which made me suddenly feel frightened, and I also remembered that in the little dark room, the puppet seemed to smile mysteriously at me...... But this laugh is naturally not the point of my fear, because I can already bear it, and the point is ...... I clenched my palms, and before I knew it, a cold sweat was dripping from the side of my forehead.
Why is the eyebrow and eyes of that god statue slightly similar to me and Lin Ruolan! I didn't want to be similar to that idol at all, I didn't expect that "it" was actually a woman, wearing Southeast Asian-style clothes, looking evil, in some places it no longer looked like a human, but like a combination of a lizard and a human, and its face was very thin, even more terrifying.
But such an evil god, he can still see that his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to me and Lin Ruolan, why? I asked myself to be an authentic Chinese, and I never had any Southeast Asian ancestry.
As for Lin Ruolan and I, everyone who has seen us knows that we look similar, although we don't look like twins, we can still see that we are blood relatives.
I, Lin Ruolan, the evil god, and this holy woman...... What kind of connection is there between them? The key point is that I can also rule out that this saintess is from the Lin family.
The more I think about it, the more chaotic I become, I can't figure it out, I keep telling myself to calm down, and sometimes I can put things I don't understand first, and the point is not to let myself be disturbed.
At this time, the elder, who had finished worshipping with the people, came up to me and said, "Holy Maiden, we can go to the Son of God." ”
"Okay." Fortunately, this calmness kept me from losing my temper, and I responded to the elder with a calm and calm expression, and let him lead the way and leave the temple.
And as I was leaving, I was glad that I had been so quick that I chose to let the elder lead the way, and it turned out that the door to the next courtyard was hidden in the walls on both sides of this idol, a secret door, and if I hadn't been careful, I would have been exposed here.
I sighed with joy and stepped through the secret door, but at the moment of stepping through the secret door, a sinister laugh suddenly sounded behind me, and with pride.
Who is making such a laugh at this time? I didn't want to pay attention to it, but this laughter lingered in my ears, like someone behind me, I turned around sharply, and found that the girl behind me rolled her eyes, and the weird smile on the corner of her mouth had not disappeared, wasn't this girl the one I just saved? How did she ......
As if noticing that I was looking at her, the girl's expression suddenly returned to normal, and when she saw my confused and somewhat frightened eyes, she couldn't help but become nervous, shrunk her neck, and called out carefully: "Holy woman? ”
It's not acting! She doesn't know?!
I feel like I'm walking into a chessboard, just being played with, being watched all the time, but I can't find a way out of it, I want to ask, you didn't laugh just now? But he couldn't ask, didn't dare to ask, and still held the shelf of a saint, pretending not to know.
"Big sister." At this time, a somewhat timid and frightened voice sounded in my ears, my hand was scratched a little painfully, it was the little girl who had always regarded me as the last to rely on, and when she arrived here, everyone was not afraid, but she was still afraid.
And just now, wasn't this little girl also confused? It seems that the child is always more sensitive, and I can tell from the strength with which she holds me that she instinctively feels that something is wrong.
I have no way now, the only thing I can keep is calm, only in calm, maybe I still have a chance to find a way out, so I calmly comforted the little girl and said, "It's okay." ”
The little girl asked me inexplicably, "Big sister, you won't leave me, will you?" As she spoke, her eyes flashed with hope and longing.
I didn't dare to look at those eyes more, and my heart was soft, so I could only say, "No." ”
The elder led the way in front, and he didn't care about the bits and pieces of details in the back, and after I walked and said no, I don't know why I glanced at the little girl again, and she actually smiled sweetly, very relieved.
Once again, I didn't dare to face such a smile, and walked silently, walking through a dim passage at the door, and arrived at the courtyard on the second floor.
There is no sacred atmosphere in this courtyard, but it is very beautiful, with the unique style of Southeast Asian architecture, the splendid decoration, all kinds of totems that I can't understand, like the residence of a king.
The most special thing is the courtyard, where a large number of flowers bloom just right, the kind of flowers that I have never seen before. Each one of them looks very beautiful, more gorgeous than peonies, more colorful than roses, but the whole piece doesn't feel beautiful, much worse than Zuoqiu's garden.
After all, Zuoqiu's garden is purple and red, colorful and colorful, and the flowers here are only red, and the red is gorgeous, but it is like a piece of blood.
Moreover, the flower did not smell at all.
Except for me, everyone who walked here was shocked by such a scene, and obviously became demented, and I don't know if this will happen to sensitive children? But at the thought of the little girl's heavy trust, I did not dare to look at her again, for I could not promise. I just feel that she is still holding my hand, so tight, there should still be a trace of sobriety in my heart, right? This makes me glad.
At this time, the elder had stopped in the main room of the house, knelt down reverently, and shouted into the room, "Godson, all the people you want to meet have arrived. ”
