Chapter 255: The Temple

The small sound was inconspicuous in the noisy temple, and was quickly drowned out by other sounds, but listening to Croft's ears made him stiffen in place.

Could it be that Medusa has never left?

Could it be that Medusa has always been by my side?

"Why, Thea, don't talk nonsense, apologize to this uncle...... I'm sorry, sir, my daughter is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart......"

A white woman who looked like the little girl's mother hugged the little girl and first reprimanded her daughter, and then apologized to Croft.

In her eyes, Croft is just a weirdo who dresses a bit like in a movie, how can there be a big sister behind his back, it must be her daughter who is lying.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Croft struggled to squeeze out a smile, his voice trembling slightly, "...... Can you tell your uncle, what does the big sister you said look like?"

"What's the big sister, it's all nonsense from my children, sir, please don't care. ”

The little girl's mother said first, an annoyed expression on her face.

There are so many people in the temple, if this strange man really had a big sister on his back, everyone would have noticed it a long time ago, but now no one has said it, it is clear that his daughter is lying and teasing this person.

She decided that she would have a good talk with her daughter when she went back and let her know that it was wrong to lie.

As she pondered, the little girl spoke, "Big sister is very beautiful." ”

Croft was stunned for a moment, and he immediately remembered that the little girl was still young and ignorant, how could he accurately describe the face of others.

So he half-crouched down, put his head at the level of the little girl's head, and said, half-pleading, half-pleading, "Do you see a snake in the hair of the big sister?"

"No, I don't. ”

The little girl thought for a while and said, "The big sister's hair is very beautiful, golden, so beautiful, but why does the big sister keep her eyes closed, she is sleeping, don't you want to open her eyes?"

Croft subconsciously tightened his collar, and even though the temperature in the temple was quite high, he still felt a cold wind blowing inside.

Is it Medusa? or is it not Medusa?

"Actually, my daughter is talking nonsense, don't care about this gentleman. The little girl's mother saw that Croft's face was suddenly a little wrong, and hurriedly stood between her daughter and Croft to separate them, so as to prevent this strange man from hurting her daughter.

Although this is not very likely in public, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

"Let's go. ”

Croft's voice was very soft, as if the voice was floating down from the sky, and if you don't listen carefully, you might think it's just your own hallucination.

"Get out of here, get out of here as soon as possible, without the slightest hesitation. ”

He put his hat on his head, raised the olive branch in his hand, and walked up.

Whether it was Medusa or not, it showed that he had been targeted by that kind of evil thing, and no one could save him except the gods.

Athena's temple was neither too numerous nor too few, and after a few minutes of squeezing in front of the idol, the priest of Athena's temple finally allowed him, a 'devout' devotee, to approach the idol of Athena, after explaining his identity as the oil controller and transferring a considerable amount of money to the priest.

"O Athena, the great goddess of victory, I am forced, and I don't want to, but if I don't put that thing next to your idol, she will kill me. ”

"Great Goddess, please protect me. ”

Croft knelt in front of the idol and whispered a prayer to the idol of Athena.

After that, he didn't move for a long time.

He was waiting, waiting for a miracle to happen.

The power of the gods was so great that she might know what was going on here, and maybe the next moment the miracle of the goddess would come and destroy Medusa and her curse.

Although in mythology, there are many different theories about the reason for Medusa's appearance, including the theory that Medusa was unclean and was cursed by the goddess to become a monster with snakehead, there are also the claims that Medusa was so beautiful that she was robbed of her beauty by the jealousy of the goddess, and there is also the theory that Medusa was a monster born after the union of the primordial sea god Phocus and his sister Krato, and was finally beheaded by Perseus and sealed her head in Athena's shield.

Regardless of the legend, there was a feud between Medusa and Athena, and Medusa's action of ordering him to put the snake hair statue in Athena's temple confirmed this suspicion.

- In any religious text, it is blasphemy to put an idol of a god in the temple of another god.

He believed that knowing that the enemy was planning to blaspheme her, the goddess would definitely make a move.

But he waited for a full ten minutes, and when the priest on the side impatiently urged him to hurry up, and other believers wanted to pray to the goddess, the miracle still did not come.

"The mighty, incredible gods didn't pay attention to me. ”

Croft also knew that the gods did not care about humans, otherwise Athens would not have suffered many disasters in history, let alone foreign invasions, but he couldn't help but complain at the thought that he might have the curse of Medusa on his body and that evil demon might be on his back.

O great Athena, the demons are blasphemous against you, why don't you cast your eyes on it, aren't the gods all omniscient and omnipotent?

Just when he was complaining in his heart, I don't know when, strands of black hair fell from behind him, and Croft's slightly bent back was suddenly pressed by some kind of weight with dozens of kilograms, and he involuntarily bent lower.

Something soft was squirming on his back, and he could clearly feel someone crawling down his back, soft and floppy like a snake.

Croft moved his body and opened his mouth again, trying to make a sound to remind others to pay attention to him, but, for some reason, he was completely unable to manipulate his body, as if his body was not his own at all.

A devotee praying to Athena suddenly bent over motionless, and this unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the temple priests.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly staring at him, and before he could realize why there was an extra woman in the man's body, he felt that his hands, feet, and even his head were unconscious.

A limestone color that spread rapidly through him.
