Rat 8

After kneeling for a long time, the crowd followed the devout pilgrims and kowtowed a few times before standing up. The crowd returned to its noisy state, but something that no one had expected happened unexpectedly.

A few people struggled to make their way through the crowd and followed the people who were burning incense out, but when they arrived at the gate, they discovered something strange.

They couldn't see the gate, they only saw tourists burning incense and then disappearing as they walked.

Several people looked at each other.

Looking here, it's all high walls, and tourists will disappear when they walk here.

"A horror movie?" Liu Anyu asked.

"How can we do this? Any clues?" Fang Yu asked. Yan Ke and the others were obviously stunned. Are those people burning incense human or ghost?

"There is no other way now." Gao Xu said to the two of them, "It seems we still can't leave here." After saying that, he shook his head with a wry smile. Just now, Wang Zihan was burned to death as if he were a high monk or a living Buddha. This matter was so unreasonable and outrageous that it was unbelievable to talk about it, but it did happen.

"What should we do? It's still night time and we don't know where is safe." Yan Ke asked Gao Xu. After all, in his opinion, Gao Xu was still very smart.

"I don't know now. We still have to observe the taboos and look for clues. The key is that we don't know what clues we need to find. Are we all going to die in this weird temple deep in the mountains and forests?" There was some despair in Gao Xu's tone, and Yan Ke didn't want to continue asking.

Gao Xu squatted on the ground in despair, because he had no idea if he would be the next person to die. But he was very sure that it would be difficult for him to get out alive, just like Wang Zihan, who was killed and burned to ashes in public.

Fang Yu was also a little out of control: "I've already said that newcomers coming to this infinite dungeon world are just cannon fodder. Big brother, do you really have no idea?"

Yan Ke looked at Fang Yu and said helplessly: "You think so highly of me, thank you first, if it doesn't work, wait until most of the people have left and gather them together. It's not safe for us to disperse."

Yan Ke made a suggestion, which was adopted by everyone.

The temple was very popular, and a few people took the opportunity to take a look around the main hall. The main hall was dedicated to the "Mother Buddha", and the side halls were dedicated to Tathagata Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and Dipankara Buddha. The key point was that the equipment was very modern.

The Buddha statues enshrined in the temple are simpler than those on the Giant Buddha Mountain. The paint on their faces has faded a bit, and they look old and a bit majestic.

In front of the main hall of the Buddha Mother there is a row of small pagodas. The newest one in the middle is the relic they picked out from the fire. The most important thing is that there are a lot of incense in the incense burner, and the smoke of incense is everywhere.

As the group walked along, they didn't see any monks in the temple. This was really strange.

"It has completely overturned my outlook on life for the past 20 years." Fang Yu sighed.

"Yes." Tian Yixin agreed.

Most people had left, and a few of them were seen gathered together at once. As the number of people dwindled, they felt more and more depressed. They could not return to their rooms at night, and after a day of running around, they were cold, hungry and sleepy.

"I'm so unlucky. It's more unbearable now than those weird people standing at the head of my bed and staring at me." Fang Yu touched his belly.

At this time, the sky was dark, and the few of them could no longer contact those people as before. It was as if they were in another world. At this time, Yan Ke brought over a few plates of tribute, and he had already eaten them.

"Brother, you don't want to live anymore." Fang Yu asked.

"I'd rather die well-fed, otherwise I'll be cold and hungry. This roast chicken tastes pretty good and won't choke you. I got it from the vending machine over there. It took a lot of effort."

Nanyu touched it and said, "Why is this chicken so hot?"

Nanyu pointed to the fire and said, "Use the residual heat from the fire next to it. We can't go back to the wing room for now, so we have to think of a way."

Everyone was speechless. Yan Ke didn't care about the rules at all. He was a ruthless person.

"Will you eat? There's plenty." Yan Ke asked everyone, "You can't guarantee that you will survive tonight if you don't eat. We haven't found any clues yet. It looks like it's going to rain. It will probably be very cold at night, and we don't have any warm clothes."

Tian Yixin waved her hand: "I have a small appetite, it's okay if I don't eat."

Nanyu first broke off a chicken leg and started eating it. He hadn’t eaten meat for several days and it was really delicious.

Fang Yu saw this and asked, "Brother, does the rule of not eating after noon work?"

"It works, what's the matter?" Gao Xu also took a piece of chicken and ate it, crying while eating: "I'm going to die anyway, I don't want to be a starving ghost."

"Hey, don't say anything. It's okay if you choke to death. At least your body will be intact." After saying that, he also stepped forward and shared a piece of chicken.

Liu Anyu also stepped forward to take the things and helped Tian Yixin take them.

"How is your wound? Can you hold on?" Yan Ke asked Nanyu. Nanyu finally took off his mask, but everyone was focused on eating chicken and no one was paying attention to Nanyu. Nanyu had a cool and handsome appearance, and was really as handsome as he said!

However, at this moment, Nanyu's face was pale, and he looked indifferent and fragile.

"It's okay, I won't die for now. Are we missing one person?"

At this time, everyone remembered that a man named Wang Qiang had not been with them.

"Go look for it?" Liu Anyu asked Yan Ke.

Yan Ke shook his head: "If you act on your own to investigate clues, you will bear the consequences yourself. The current situation is that death is imminent for us. Since we are here, we must ensure our own safety first. Don't worry about not being able to eat chicken or something. These are tributes and may be able to bypass the taboo conditions."

"Yes, we have to ensure our own safety now." Fang Yu added.

Several people were resting in the main hall where the Mother Buddha was enshrined. The temple had now become exceptionally deserted and lonely, in contrast to the bustling scene during the day. The few people did not take it seriously and sat on their cushions waiting for the night to fall.

"It's really quiet here." Liu Anyu said, "I study in the library so that I can get a graduate degree or become a civil servant after graduation. Job opportunities are hard to come by now. I'm an introvert and not good at socializing, so I spend all day in the library, hoping to find a job or continue my studies after graduation. Who would have known that I would end up here in the blink of an eye."

Fang Yu said: "Who isn't? I thought I was trapped in a ghost wall. I was so scared that I almost couldn't hold it."

Tian Yixin said: "I'm not particularly scared, it's very exciting here."

Everyone looked at her, and Tian Yixin smiled: "Don't you think it's exciting? People die every day, and the next one might be me. When I think about this, I feel trembling with fear, but I also feel it's exciting."

"You have a stress disorder. Afterwards, you may not remember clearly what happened here." Gao Xu spoke at this time.

Everyone was puzzled by Gao Xu's words: "She is too frightened. This can relieve her stress. Otherwise, she might go crazy. She will go crazy because of the stimulation."

Nan Yu said, "But she's talking a little strangely now. Does she know what she's saying?"

Fang Xu answered Nan Yu's question: "She knows now, but if she can get out alive, it's not certain, and her memory may change to something she can understand and accept."

Yan Ke understood and said, "What it means is that what happened now has severely impacted her spirit, causing her to be in a trance. She feels stimulated, and it is the memory that helps her relieve the strange fear."

"Then are we going to stay here all night?" Fang Yu asked.

"Everyone has given almost all the clues, but the clues we have now are completely unable to support us getting out alive, so..." Fang Xu said.

"Actually, there is still hope." Yan Ke looked at Tian Yixin who was talking nonsense and said, "It's all with her. It depends on whether she is willing to share it with everyone."

Everyone looked at Yan Ke in confusion.

Liu Anyu also looked at Tian Yixin in confusion, and then looked at Yan Ke.

"If I remember correctly, Tian Yixin has violated Bajie's taboos more than once. Compared to everyone else, Tian Yixin, you still maintain the habit of dressing up. I have to admire you."

Tian Yixin said angrily: "What do you mean? You are a grown man, and you always target a girl like me. Do you think it's fun?" Tian Yixin's tone was extremely angry.

"【Bajie】One of them is perfume. You would rather apologize to Wang Qiang than stop spraying perfume. Although I understand it superficially, Sun Xiaofeng, Wang Liufu and the others all died because of touching the taboo. Only you survived. Moreover, the thing in your hand protects you, so you are not as afraid as others."

Tian Yixin obviously disagreed and said, "But I was just too scared. Fang Xu said I had a stress disorder, and I was just scared. Why are you holding a grudge? It's just that I was scared and pinched you at night."

Liu Anyu also spoke up for Tian Yixin: "Don't go too far. Don't put everything on it. This is targeting me!!"

"I remember on the first day, when everyone was making their beds, you suddenly got up in the middle of the night. After that, strange things started to happen in the room every night. Even if that thing is not with you, you must know something, which is why the strangeness in this temple has let you go again and again." Yan Ke asked in an orderly manner.

Tian Yixin suddenly burst into tears: "Believe me, he is slandering me, I know nothing."

At this time, Nanyu said: "The thing is indeed on her. It's nothing. I looked at it. It's a notebook that records some daily life in the temple."

Yan Ke looked at Nan Yu: "But you only saw the cover, and you didn't hold it in your arms when you slept, so how do you know it didn't come to you in your dreams?"

"Yes, I have the notebook, which records some daily life, but now it is left in the wing room."

At this time, Yan Ke took it out from his arms and said, "It's on me. I took it when I was arguing with you this morning. It's really nothing."

"You stole my things. No, you broke the rules. According to the rules, stealing is [Bajie]."

"But I was punished. They almost killed me at night. I didn't expect that you still don't want to talk about it now. You obviously know more clues. Are you the thirteenth person?"
