Rat 13
It rained all night yesterday, making the air a little humid in the morning. The backyard of the temple was a little cooler than yesterday, but as the game time was getting shorter, everyone felt even colder than before, and no one knew what would happen next.
Wang Qiang's body had disappeared at this time, as if it had been put away by someone. There were some traces around it, and there were many signs of being crushed on the wet road, but no one paid attention to it. Only Gao Xu took a few deliberate glances.
The fog in the front yard disappeared.
When they arrived at the front yard, there was a constant stream of people. When they looked back, they suddenly found that the backyard was shrouded in fog.
The temple today is as bustling as it was yesterday, with a constant stream of people praying in front of the Buddha Mother Hall.
"This temple is very popular!" Fang Yu exclaimed.
But Nanyu patted him on the back of his head and said, "Your head is really just a decoration."
Fang Yu pouted a little aggrievedly: "What's wrong?"
"This place looks very similar to yesterday." Gao Xu's silent voice came.
The music playing in the temple, the decorations seen when leaving the temple were the same as yesterday, and even the endless stream of people were the same.
"Brother, how did you find out?" Fang Yu felt incredible. Really in such a weird place, he once again expressed his contempt for his idiotic brain, and his envy for these people. How come they are all human beings, but some people's brains are so useful? It's really true that people will die if they are compared to others.
Nanyu whispered at this time: "I didn't notice anything." In fact, Nanyu patted Fang Yu just now to let him observe carefully. There is no point in saying out loud what everyone can see.
Yan Ke looked at Gao Xu, then pretended to casually fix her hair. It was really embarrassing. He didn't notice anything, but just felt that there were still the same number of people as yesterday.
"Um, Gao Xu, what do you do? Are you a college student? Which university?" Fang Yu didn't want to say anything envious, and then looked at Gao Xu with admiration.
Gao Xu swallowed his saliva and said with a hot face: "It's nothing, I'm just good at observation. I'm a doctoral student, not a college student."
Yan Ke looked at Gao Xu in surprise. Gao Xu was usually not good at speaking, but he was calm and had thick black-framed glasses. He looked like a top student at first glance. As for his appearance, it was just okay in Yan Ke's opinion. Due to lack of exercise, Gao Xu looked a little thin even though he looked 1.80 meters tall. Unlike Nan Yu, his body proportions were good. His long and straight body looked elegant against the black clothes, like a sharp and dazzling sword. Gao Xu was not even as good as Fang Yu. Fang Yu looked a little out of tune, but he was young and energetic, with the hot-blooded aura of a teenager. He was about the same height as herself, and he exercised a lot, so his body was not skinny. At first glance, he looked like a boy with well-developed motor nerves.
In Yan Ke's opinion, the looks of these three people are the type that are pleasing to the eye. Although Yan Ke looks sloppy, his aesthetic taste is still pretty good. After all, he has been working in society for a long time.
In fact, Fang Xu didn't want to say that he was a doctoral student. After all, some things would no longer be a secret once they were said.
"Where did you study for your PhD?" The person asking the question was Yan Ke. Mainly because he hadn't met anyone with such a high level of education since he graduated, and he was just really curious.
"Well, I'm in the research institute, not the university."
"Isn't it the top research institute in the country?" Fang Yu was also extremely surprised. This is a genius! !
"I guess so, but it's an affiliated research group inside."
Although Nanyu didn't know much about academic qualifications, he still felt that he was impressive, and his impression of Gao Xu improved a lot.
The temple was crowded with pilgrims. What was going on today? Was it really as Gao Xu said? It was the same as yesterday.
Yan Ke asked: "Where did you see them carrying the body yesterday?"
Gao Xu said: "It is in the corridor behind the Future Buddha. There are almost no people there and tourists are not allowed to enter."
"Really? Well, then let's go over and take a look and we'll know." Yan Ke said, but he was actually sighing in his heart. As a social idler who was busy with daily work and often unemployed, doing good things was not his style. But when he came here this time, he was shocked to find that everything seemed to be covered with a veil. His memory and experience seemed to be very insignificant compared to this strange experience.
More than ten years ago, when he first entered the strange game, he was still a teenager. The youth's passion and recklessness made him experience many things here, about growth, about loss, and about some emotional fragments that had long been difficult to find in his memory.
The current Yan Ke is no longer the fearless boy he used to be. Now he just wants to live, an ordinary life. Even taking these people to uncover the secrets or injustices of this strange temple is just for the sake of living.
Regarding the props on the game panel, he didn't want to use them at all until the critical moment, because his subconscious told him that using the props would have side effects. He didn't remember what the side effects were, but he still tried to avoid using them.
The rain was still on the ground, but it seemed as if it had been there yesterday. People passing by were discussing the Living Buddha.
At this time, Nanyu and his companions bypassed the tourists and came to the back of the Future Buddha Temple. This place was really remote. If Gao Xu and his companions had not come here by chance yesterday and just burned incense here, it would have been difficult to discover that there was a not-so-narrow corridor behind this temple dedicated to the Future Buddha, and at the end of the corridor was connected to a small room.
Gao Xu led the way here and pointed there. "We found Wang Zihan here yesterday. They changed Wang Zihan's clothes and covered him with a cloth before cremating him in front of the Buddha Mother Hall."
Yan Ke frowned.
Fang Yu sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, it's really dark under the lamp. If there is no wronged ghost, it must be the heaven without eyes."
Nanyu said: "The Buddha statues here have no charm, only the statue of Prajnaparamita has charm."
"Brother Nanyu, are you talking about consecration?" Gao Xu asked.
"Yes, it is the consecration ceremony." Nanyu nodded.
Yan Ke asked, "How did you know that only the Buddha Mother statue was consecrated?"
"I guessed it." Nanyu said without thinking.
Looking at the empty corridor, there is no one there yet.
At this time, several people in plain clothes came over, glanced at a few people, and then walked in.
Yan Ke quickly led a few people and pretended to be lost: "Hey, where is this place?"
"Yes!" Fang Yu responded.
Several people didn't pay attention to them and walked straight past them. They quickly found a blind spot and squatted down. After a while, they appeared carrying a bag and their clothes had changed.
Several people looked at each other, all confused.
"What's going on?" Fang Yu asked.
"He's a fake monk." Gao Xu said in a low voice.
"So is it still Wang Zihan's corpse today?"
Fang Yu asked again.
Nan Yu replied: "No, it looks like Zhao Lei's body."
It is known that the flow of time in the backyard is normal, and there is a phenomenon of time flowing back to a certain day in the front yard.
Monk Xuankong will not appear in the temple in the morning. After a few people looked at the time displayed on the game panel, [There are 34 hours left in the game. Please solve the problem as soon as possible.]
“In fact, this game panel doesn’t have any prompts. It just pops up suddenly to remind you of the time. The mechanical sound is a bit scary.” Fang Yu complained.
The other three felt the same way.
But Yan Ke saw that the game progress shown on the game panel was 50%, which was really a bit difficult to advance! !
There are still thirty-four hours left, but several people have to stay here for another night before they can return to the backyard. There will be less than twenty-four hours left tomorrow morning, and time is becoming more and more urgent.
"Follow me." Nanyu reminded everyone.
The crowd followed a few fake monks to the front yard of the Buddha Mother Temple. As there were too many people, they could only stand in the crowd and observe.
After everyone had been waiting in boredom for more than an hour, a familiar voice rang out on the radio. It was the voice of Monk Xuankong.
"This Xuankong is really punctual!" Fang Yu exclaimed.
The surroundings were already full of people, and they were all alive and well, just like ordinary people, but they felt even more terrified. Did Xuankong and the others not notice anything wrong? Or was it that the backyard was also traced back all the time, but they didn't notice it. However, after careful consideration, they found that it was not the case. There were two time and space flows here, the backyard and the front yard, but what was even more strange was that Xuankong and the others could actually come to the front yard and go to the backyard.
Yan Ke was a little doubtful at this time. He looked at Fang Xu: "Have you found any clues?"
Fang Xu thought about it carefully and nodded: "It is indeed strange that Xuan Kong and his people can leave the temple, go to the backyard, and come to the front yard. They must have some way to do it. These pilgrims seem to be the same people as yesterday, but they are different."
Nanyu was also curious and asked, "What's the difference? How did you find out that this is a daily cycle?"
"How should I put it?" Fang Xu pointed in a direction and motioned for them to look: "Over there, there is a place selling drinks. Someone left a deep mark there yesterday, but it disappeared. And over there, that place is a propaganda slogan hung by a temple, but it was not wet by the rain. Why is it the same as yesterday? The most important thing is the people. This group of people, yesterday, I observed that the mother and daughter would kneel down and burn incense at a little after ten o'clock. And over there, there is a Buddhist believer like an ascetic monk. He would cry during the cremation, but his behavior before that was pious. I was deeply impressed..."
As Gao Xu spoke, everyone fell into memories. It was indeed true.
"The reason why it rains here is because the weather is uniform. It falls on the ground without being affected by this place. The only thing that is different here is the weather. This shows that it is very likely that some force has caused a disorder in the magnetic field, which has led to a disorder in time and space."
Everyone felt it was impressive.
As Xuan Kong's voice came out from the loudspeaker: "Welcome the Living Buddha to heaven!!"
Everyone knelt and shouted: "Buddha bless you!!"
“Buddha Mother bless you!!”
