Rat 10
As the night deepened, everyone was still praying anxiously while hugging the Buddha statue, keeping their nerves tense at all times. At this moment, everyone was in a desperate situation, and the shadow of death always hung over the only five remaining people.
Those ugly, twisted and weird monsters were still twisting under the Buddha statue, and there was a familiar smell of burnt disgust in the air.
The statue of the Buddha Mother is the statue of Prajnaparamita Buddha Mother, who has three faces and eight arms, wears a Buddha crown on her head, steps on lotus, and is alive with every step. Her entire body is plated with gold, and although the color has faded a little, it makes her look more solemn and prosperous.
It is slightly different from the common Buddha Mother statues that Yan Ke has seen on his mobile phone. Most of the Buddha Mother statues that can be searched have one face and four arms, with the arms clasped in front of the chest and the arms holding objects. The Buddha Mother statue with three faces and eight arms is very rare. The first feeling of the Buddha Mother statue is mysterious and solemn.
Nan Yu was very calm at this time. Fear and terror did not seem to shroud him. He did not say anything, but lowered his eyes in thought. Yan Ke took a casual glance and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was even more mysterious. When someone died in front of him, he could handle it very calmly and react quickly.
Yan Ke asked quietly at this time: "Aren't you afraid?"
Nan Yu opened his eyes, looked at him, and then smiled. This smile instantly made Yan Ke alert. He almost let go of his hand because of the dangerous aura.
Yan Ke looked at the extremely delicate face that he could see in the shadows in the darkness. It didn't look like a real person, but rather like a solemn statue of a god incarnated as a human.
"Are you the thirteenth person?" Yan Ke said unconsciously. At that moment, the surrounding environment seemed to take a step back, and the world seemed to freeze.
Yan Ke saw Nan Yu and smiled, "Are you scared by me?"
Yan Ke's suspicion of Nan Yu's identity increased at this time, but he adjusted his breathing and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Nan Yu did not reply to him directly, but said: "This time, it is indeed a bit difficult. If we are not careful, someone will die. But have you ever thought about the reason why these weird things followed us?"
At this time, Yan Ke reacted and thought of something.
He asked Tian Yixin, who had already panicked, directly, muttering, "I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to do that."
Yan Ke pulled Tian Yixin, who had been frightened to the point of losing her mind, and asked, "What did you find? What is it that is so attractive?"
Tian Yixin instantly shook off Yan Ke's hand and said with a crazy smile: "Why are you scared? Otherwise, you can die too."
As he was about to use the same trick again, his hands were clamped due to the size difference.
"I'm not targeting you, you're the one who's hurting us. What exactly is that thing? We've searched the entire backyard and still can't find any clues. What else did you take except the notebook? Is it the gold pendant with the Buddha statue that you're wearing?"
Yan Ke's sudden voice made the strange monsters, which were originally stagnant, roar excitedly. Fang Yu and Gao Xu dared not make a sound.
Nan Yu didn't say anything because he had already reminded Yan Ke that although Yan Ke didn't have a photographic memory, he was definitely not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart.
"What is the mission for this clearance?" Yan Ke finally asked what he wanted to ask.
"I've already said I'm helping those weirdos, why are you still targeting me?"
Under the solemn statue of the Buddha, the few people seemed as tiny as a drop in the ocean. They wanted to climb up strangely, but seemed to be afraid of something, and there was some unwillingness and anger in their roars.
"You didn't tell me the whole story. You are confusing the information. You want us to all die, and then drag it out until the time comes, so that you can take the Buddha statue pendant and leave here, and then gain something from it. Am I right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know, I don't know anything, it's none of my business." Although Tian Yixin was afraid, she didn't seem to be afraid of the weirdness here. She seemed to be afraid of Yan Ke and the others, the living people.
Tian Yixin suddenly pushed Yan Ke away with force. Taking advantage of the darkness and everyone's fear, Tian Yixin dodged Yan Ke's hand and jumped off the table nimbly. Those weird things did not hurt her, but dodged her the moment she ran in.
It was still raining outside. Yan Ke frowned, turned around and thought about it, but decided not to chase after him.
"What's going on?" Fang Yu had no idea what was going on.
Gao Xu said tremblingly: "We...the first day we came, she..."
Nanyu interrupted, "Hold the Buddha Mother statue tight. On the first day we arrived, Tian Yixin found a note and a pendant in the room where we slept. The note mainly tells the story of the Buddha Mother Prajna, and explains that the temple's faith is the Buddha Mother. Everyone knows this. The second point is that Tian Yixin found an object, which is just now..."
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Ke and said, "The Buddha statue pendant that Mo Fan mentioned, that pendant issued us a mission in a way that we don't understand, and asked us to help these strange monsters and redress their grievances. But these were all said by Tian Yixin, and we don't know whether they are true or not. But what we know now is that we are really in a strange game now, and the mission has been issued through the props in Tian Yixin's hand."
Yan Ke added: "We are all newcomers. If no one has concealed it, [Bajie] should have told us these rules in advance, but the game defaults to the person who gets the props being a member of our new team, so..."
"So she knows the rules, and knows how to use props to evade the punishment of the rules, and then keeps silent, allowing innocent people to die one after another?" Fang Yu's tone was a little excited.
"Fuck, what's her purpose then?"
Fang Yu and Gao Xu didn't understand Tian Yixin's behavior at all. Because she was a girl, everyone took good care of her, including Liu Anyu who died inexplicably.
"If she does nothing and waits until we all die, she can rely on the Buddha statue pendant to return to the present world without decrypting the code. This is my guess, but now it seems that my guess is at least half right." Yan Ke said to several people.
"So she is not afraid, but excited. Doesn't that mean she has an antisocial personality?" Fang Yu complained.
The four people could do nothing now and could only hold the stone statue and wait for dawn.
"If that thing was a dream, then it would explain why Tian Yixin suddenly sat up while sleeping for several nights. The key is that under the gaze of those weird monsters below, nothing happened. Now I know the reason."
Fang Yu suddenly realized: "I said, based on my experience of reading novels, the clues for the first copy of the infinite flow copy are basically given directly, unless you are reckless. Now I finally know why our difficulty has increased."
"We died in the copy and we will also die in real life. That woman really has an angel's face but a devil's heart." Gao Xu commented.
Nan Yu asked with some evil humor at this time: "You are not afraid anymore, why are you not crying?"
Yan Ke said helplessly: "Don't tease him, he's shaking like a sieve. Then we must not let her get what she wants, we will continue to investigate tomorrow."
The team started out with thirteen people, but in just a few days there were only five people left. Another person is rather selfish and can no longer be called a teammate. Now the four of them can only continue reluctantly, after all, their lives are at stake.
Yan Ke did not say anything more. This world was so strange and everything in the world could not be explained simply by good and evil.
Even if Tian Yixin indirectly killed everyone, it does not mean that she is born so vicious. She just has more selfish and greedy human nature. Now Tian Yixin seems like an unreasonable evil person. It may be because the environment here has magnified her greed and selfishness, and the dead people are warning her that what she did was right. If she didn't do this, I might be the next to die.
However, as a human being, she is so indifferent to life, which is what Yan Ke least wants to see. You know, the biggest difference between humans and other creatures is emotion and self-control. Indulging in human greed and ignoring the life of a senior sister who always protects her behind her back makes Yan Ke extremely opposed to Tian Yixin's behavior and even feels that this person is definitely not the same kind of person as himself.
You can ignore it, you can watch from the sidelines, but you can never take advantage of human weaknesses and become an executioner, using any means to achieve your goals, even killing people indirectly.
From the moment Tian Yixin decided to secretly keep the Buddha statue pendant, her hands were covered in blood.
Even though everyone didn't know each other at the beginning, Tian Yixin chose a path that was completely opposite to working together to pass the level.
The moment Yan Ke saw Tian Yixin, he felt strange, just because of Tian Yixin's eyes, the same eyes the girl had six years ago, the eyes disguised by a carnivore when hunting, vicious and cruel like a poisonous snake.
He looked into the darkness, where countless pairs of dark hands were still reaching out towards them. At that moment, Yan Ke decided that he must find out the truth of the matter within these two and a half days.
Unknown to him, Nan Yu had been observing Yan Ke's every move. This guy was really weird. He didn't quite understand Yan Ke's train of thought. He looked at Fang Yu and Gao Xu. The newcomers were just a burden, but he didn't expect Yan Ke was willing to take them with him. He was really a weird person. He looked fierce, not easy to mess with, and very sloppy.
Yan Ke's messy hair had long been tangled into a mess, and Nan Yu really wanted to help him comb out the weed-like hair and beard. For many days, he wanted to complain. He was tall and looked in good shape, as if he exercised regularly, but his beard was untidy and his hair was messy. It was still impossible to see the true face of this man, but his behavior and temperament were calm and steady, which made everyone believe him without knowing it.
Nan Yu glanced at Yan Ke for a few times. He handled things calmly and even in desperate situations, he was decisive and gambled his life. It must be said that apart from the outfit that looked like someone fleeing from famine, Yan Ke was full of a stable temperament.
Fang Yu's state at this time was tired and helplessly sleepy, and he yawned again and again. Led by Fang Yu, Gao Xu and he fell asleep drowsily while hugging the lotus base of Prajnaparamita.
The feeling of fear is like a leech attached to the bones, unbearable, but fatigue still finds its way into making people fall into sleepiness unconsciously.
In the chaos, a rooster crowed. Even though it was still dark, the strange monsters and shadows disappeared in an instant.
Yan Ke, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, and the gazes disappeared, along with the weirdness.
He loosened his arms around the base of the Buddha statue, stretched his hands, and woke up the others: "They have disappeared, wake up."
Fang Yu suddenly came to his senses, stretched his stiff arms, and yawned: "They're gone."
Nanyu nodded.
Gao Xu woke up in shock: "I'm not dead?!"
"Not dead yet, let's go." Fang Yu said.
"Go and see if the cafeteria is open. We have to eat in the morning." Yan Ke said in a normal tone, not thinking at all about being surrounded by monsters all night last night.
"Let's go and see if we can get through to the backyard."
Nan Yu said, "Maybe a certain plot point was triggered yesterday, which prevented us from going back to the backyard. Now that we are alive and yesterday is over, we should go see what's going on in the backyard."
