Chapter 233 Human Blood Candle, Four Claws
[No young couple can escape my eyes, no! How dare you say you are not in love! 】
【Qi ~ Master ~】
[Punctuation genius upstairs]
[Oh my, wasn’t it someone who was afraid of ghosts not long ago? Now everyone is rushing to get ahead.]
[This may be the legendary... love makes people brave doge]
[I've only seen people act like a spoiled child and ask others to do things for them, but you two are the first to act like a spoiled child and ask others to do things for you first.]
[Otherwise, why do you say that the CP I’m supporting is a fairy-like item? Hehehe]
[The young couple whose hearts and eyes are full of each other]
[Okay, both of you don’t come in, I’ll go ahead first! 】
[Okay, okay, Dayi upstairs, send this CP sister off]

Qi Gu was not easily deceived by Lin Hanzhi's beauty this time. His expression was cold and he said, "It's very dangerous inside. The situation this time is different from before."
The ghosts that had appeared before were just minor incidents. Compared to this one, they were nothing.
"I know." Lin Hanzhi blurted out. It was because he knew that he wanted to walk in front of Qi Gu.
Qi Gu had no special training in physical skills, so it was inevitable that he would appear exhausted when dodging attacks. It was also easy for him to lose his advantage or get injured when faced with a sudden attack.
Qi Gu was injured, and it would take a long time for him to recover. Unlike him, he has become accustomed to it and his body has adapted to the relative frequency of injuries. Even his recovery speed is faster than others.
Just as Qi Gu was thinking with a grim face about how to convince Lin Hanzhi, he had already put his palms on the shabby and faded mahogany double doors. With a light push, the heavy wooden doors creaked and opened to both sides.
There was no dust left on the wooden door, it was spotless, obviously due to being washed by the sea water during high tide.
There are rarely any windows in the main halls of temples, so the inside of Haigong Temple is so dark that it looks like it has not been exposed to sunlight for many years, and it is as dark as a black hole that can swallow all light.
However, in the darkness, there were two faint, swaying candle flames, barely illuminating the area near the altar, allowing people to clearly see a wooden clay statue on the altar. Although it sat in an inappropriate manner on the altar, its strange shape did not reveal any divinity, and it looked completely like an evil ghost.
Under the altar is a stone altar with its left and right sides tilted upward, giving it a strong religious feel.
Further ahead is a candlestick of varying heights. If all the iron sticks were filled with candles, there would be a hundred candles. At this moment, the only light source in the Haigong Temple comes from here.
In the center of the highest candlestick, there were two candles burning slowly and emitting the smell of incense.
The two candles looked like new, only a little bit burned, as if someone had just come to offer sacrifices.
[Hiss, someone just came to this temple? ? ? 】
[Think positively, don’t be afraid, it may not be a human, but a ghost]
[This candle... the more I look at it, the weirder it gets. It seems like the candle oil dripping from it is much redder than that of ordinary candles. If I remember correctly, many red candles sold on the market are white inside, with just a layer of red on the outside.]
[…The little girl who was using the scented candle blew it out helplessly]
Tick. Tick. Drops of melted wax dripped down the candle body and the iron frame, and finally fell into an iron plate of the same size as the iron frame placed on the ground. When the hot wax met the cold water, it immediately made a hissing sound and solidified in the cold water.
An indescribable stench emanated from the hall, which had not had air circulated for a long time, like the smell of rotting seafood, meat, incense and candles mixed together.
Lin Hanzhi looked at Qi Gu and said, "If I remember correctly, the Haigong Temple has been abandoned for a long time, but looking at the burnt part of this candle, it seems that it was just lit a few minutes ago. It's as if when we were listening to the story outside just now, someone was offering sacrifices to Haigong inside, or maybe this candle..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly swung out the bone blade, pinched it between his fingertips, picked up the bright red candle with the blade, and then threw it at the wall outside the door. The weightless candle flew forward for a long time when he threw it, and landed directly on the low wall.
The next moment, the red conch, which had been dead silent, began to wriggle frantically, climbed onto the corpses of its own kind, and then swarmed towards the red candle, starting to eat it in a crowded manner.
When they finished eating, they retreated like the tide.
The fact is already very clear. This candle is made of a mixture of human flesh and blood. As for the worshiper of this candle, of course, there is no one else to think of except the ghost from the crew.
Evil ghosts are extremely selfish creatures, but this ghost is very loyal to Hai Gong, which is really rare.
Qi Gu suddenly asked: "What do you think Hai Gong's ability is?"
Lin Hanzhi's expression was stern: "You mean... if that's the case, then it makes sense. But if that's really the case..."
[The most annoying riddle segment]
[The main reason is that we can’t understand what they are saying now, so it’s better to wait until the end to reveal it all at once, it will be more enjoyable to watch it all in one go]
[So this candle is also made of the flesh and blood of the previous victims? 】
[What kind of master of homemade handicrafts? Hai Gong was imprisoned for too long and had no time to spare, so he started to develop a side business.]
[If you are really bored, you can actually buy some materials for the civil service exam. You will become more obedient after doing a set of brain teasers.]
【? A road never imagined before has opened up.】
[Guguzhizhi's face suddenly became very serious. What happened? 】
"Be careful!" Lin Hanzhi suddenly swung out the bone blade, and with a flash of silver light, a strange creature that looked like a crawling hand with four claws was nailed to the ground.
The thing had a hard feel and skin-like texture, was about the size of a baby's palm, and crawled very fast. Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw more claw-shaped shadows quickly crawling out from the darkness and attacking everyone.
There were so many of them and they came from all directions. Some of them even hid on the beams and jumped down onto people's heads, making it hard to guard against. Soon, several people were overwhelmed.
It’s not that we can’t win, it’s mainly because there are too many of them, it’s like fighting cockroaches, there’s an endless supply.
Moreover, their reproductive ability is also similar to that of cockroaches, that is, when you see a cockroach in the room, there may be thousands of cockroaches lying in the corner.
Qi Gu tried to draw talismans, but every time he made a few strokes he would be interrupted by four claws that popped out from some dark corner.
Fortunately, he was not injured. The bone blade hidden in his sleeve flew out automatically and actively resisted the four claws that emerged from all directions like flowing water, buying him some time.
But it's still a bit reluctant.
"What on earth are these?!"
"I have a feeling that it wouldn't be a good thing if they crawled on me! Take it easy!"
"Is it my illusion? I feel like they really want to crawl into my brain." Mu Xingchen pulled the ties on his hoodie and wrapped his head tightly. One of the four-clawed creatures was lying on top of his head, constantly grinding his hat with its sharp claws.
