Chapter 68: Strange Puppet Doll
The Persona Society itself specializes in dealing with mysterious events, and Shen Suxian naturally knows something about these old religions, so he immediately recognized them.
Su Bai nodded: "Well, according to my understanding, in the old times, this kind of idol was called Guanyin, and those families who had no heirs for many years would often go to worship Guanyin, praying that God would give them children......"
"After the child is born, the grateful parents will go to Guanyin to make a wish......
His voice changed, his tone changed abruptly, and his expression was heavy: "Of course, that's just an ordinary situation. I'm thinking now, if there were unpredictable changes in the entire old era, if this "Goddess of Mercy" really worked, would the child really be a "person"? ”
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's still ...... What could be more terrifying? ”
There was a dead silence in the living room.
Shen Suxian obviously understood the strangeness in it.
It is almost conceivable that a lover who dreams of relying on his child to ascend to the throne will not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to invite all kinds of folk rumors to his home, without taboos, day and night.
Soon after, she finally got pregnant, but instead of the lovely fetus she had been waiting for, she was a terrifying ghost fetus that brought death......
It is impossible to know what happened after that ghost fetus thousands of years ago, but this strange relic in front of them is the enemy they are currently facing.
"You mean the entrance to that chamber is right here?" Shen Suxian immediately guessed.
"That's right."
Su Bai moved an iron stool from the side, stepped on it, and cautiously reached out to touch the shrine.
The candlestick was held in place, and making sure it couldn't be moved, he reached out and touched the statue of Guanyin.
He fumbled for a moment, and soon noticed that the bottom of it was somewhat loose, and immediately twisted it slightly.
"Click!"
"Tom!"
A piece of floor suddenly bounced up in the corner of the ground, revealing a gap that was especially noticeable in the quiet environment.
Shen Suxian and Lin Wanqin immediately walked over and turned over the floor, revealing a narrow path leading to the basement underneath.
Shen Suxian didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but glance at Su Bai with an unexpected gaze.
Originally, she thought that he was just a talented researcher, but she didn't expect that his psychological quality was so strong, even surpassing many field staff!
"Su Bai, your credit this time is not small, I will report your credit in detail in the report summarized afterwards, and there will be a reward you deserve!"
After she finished speaking, she took the lead in bending down and walked down, followed by Lin Wanqin.
Su Bai didn't expect her to say this at this time, but now that time was pressing, he didn't think much about it, and immediately jumped off the stool and followed.
After entering the secret door, you can see that the path that extends down is uneven, the potholes are full of mud, and some places are still seeping water, which is a miracle that it has not collapsed for so many years.
It shouldn't have been dug up by professionals, but it looked like it was dug up by myself.
Fortunately, the trail was not long, and after spreading down for some distance, a small, unlocked, narrow door appeared in front of me.
After pushing the door open, the sudden light caught several people off guard.
It was a small room with an area of more than ten square meters, and there were two white candles lit on the walls, and the jumping light of the fire dispelled the darkness around it, but the air was also extremely dull, as if the oxygen content was not sufficient.
"Got candles? Someone? ”
The three of them walked in one by one, carefully examining the underground chamber.
The walls of the chamber are made of some laterite bricks, and the gaps are not filled, but they are also tightly pressed by the soil in all directions, and they are impermeable.
But what is really terrifying is that there are more than a dozen puppets in this room, large and small, all dressed up very well, like real people.
And it was here that they saw the dolls' puppets for the first time.
In the center of the room was an old, dusty table of eight immortals, sprinkled with sawdust and carpenter's knives for carving, as well as an iron paint pan and paintbrush, the paint on which had not yet dried.
A finished doll puppet resembling a toddler sits on the table, as if it had just been completed.
At first glance, it is beautiful.
Whether it is facial features or expressions, they are all lifelike, and a pair of blue eyes seem to be really innocent and ignorant children, curiously looking at the three people who entered the basement.
But it's also the only doll puppet here.
"What a cute doll ......"
Lin Wanqin whispered, trying to get closer, but was stopped by Su Bai reaching out.
"Wait, something must be wrong."
Obviously, the hostess here has such a deep obsession, but the entire ruins can only see this hidden doll puppet, and it is so realistic.
If you think about it with your toes, you know that there is a problem!
Shen Suxian took a step forward with a calm expression: "I'll take a look, even if something is wrong, I have the ability to protect myself." ”
Su Bai glanced at her unexpectedly.
This woman......
What hole cards are still missing?
She walked cautiously to the table of the Eight Immortals, and there were no accidents along the way, she hesitated for a moment, and reached out to pick up the doll.
"Nothing has changed?"
This was somewhat beyond Su Bai's expectations.
At this time, Shen Suxian suddenly said: "This doll is a little strange. ”
She turned around and showed the doll in front of the two of them.
Su Bai saw its appearance completely, only to find that although it was perfectly shaped, only the arm of his right hand was missing.
The notch peeked out of the garment, as if someone had cut it off and taken it away, leaving only the mutilated one-armed doll.
Su Bai was puzzled.
"Is it emulating the goddess Venus of the old days? But what parent would want their child to be born with a disability......"
Shen Suxian said again: "In addition to missing an arm, its skin is also very strange. It doesn't feel like wood, but it's smooth and warm, as if it's ...... It's like human skin! ”
"Skin puppets?"
It's getting weirder and weirder.
However, after careful observation, it can be found that the puppet is not wrapped in human skin, but only the upper part, and the lower part seems to be unfinished, from the soft and smooth skin of human skin to the feel of wood in an instant.
"This skin is very strange, it's not sewn from the back, but it looks like it grows on its own......" Shen Suxian frowned.
Su Bai pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Is it possible that it is evolving?" ”
"You mean...... Is it slowly growing human skin and turning itself into a real child? Shen Suxian was a little surprised by his speculation.
