Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Sculpture
Too many short, rapid breaths seemed to raise the temperature in the church to a boiling point.
Su Yuan couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He should have turned pale with fear at this scene, but the strange heat made his cheeks flushed and his hair stuck to his skin. Su Yuan covered his mouth and nose with his hands and continued to back away.
As his mind became more and more confused, Su Yuan tried to distance himself from these people. He was caught off guard by the cold touch of his hand and his body trembled slightly.
His body instantly became stiff. When Su Yuan suppressed his fear and looked towards the hand, he found that he had actually retreated to the position of the statue and touched it.
The chill at the point of contact seemed to penetrate into the skin through the clothes. Su Yuan did not breathe a sigh of relief after figuring out the situation. Instead, the chill spread and made his scalp numb.
The place where it touches the statue is weird.
The statue did not give Su Yuan the texture that matched its appearance; although it was cold, it was exceptionally soft and delicate.
It clearly looks like it's carved out of stone, but the feeling of life it brings is more breathtaking than the most realistic doll skin.
It has the touch of a living person's skin, and also has the biting coldness of a dead person.
Su Yuan swallowed and looked up in panic.
Although the statue was not as tall as a person, it was not particularly tall either. But perhaps because the light nearby was too dim, Su Yuan was unable to see the statue's specific features.
Su Yuan's fingertips unconsciously grasped the hem of his clothes.
He couldn't help but have wild thoughts because of the strange touch.
What if the peculiarity of this statue lies not only in its material, but also in other aspects?
For example——
Su Yuan's heart was beating irregularly.
This statue can 'see'.
Su Yuan is currently unclear about the specific origin and peculiarity of the statue. Although he can remember the plot, he can only know some of the upcoming plots in advance. In Su Yuan's limited memory of the plot, there is no specific information related to the statue and this secret organization.
But without any plot support, Su Yuan could clearly realize that this sculpture that was treated reverently was not simple, and the reason these people treated it like this was closely related to his tears.
Su Yuan felt ashamed and scared because of the speculations that kept popping up in his mind.
He felt that these people were sniffing his scent and saying it was sweet and fragrant. It would be strange if the statue really saw it.
At the same time, he was afraid that the statue would be angry at his counterfeiting and deception.
His heart was beating uneasily, and Su Yuan looked up at the statue with his pale face, becoming more and more flustered.
Su Yuan bit his lip unconsciously. After staring at him for a long time with extreme nervousness, he chose to slide down and apologize as if to make up for his loss.
Even if Su Yuan could speak, it would be impossible for him to speak in such a weird atmosphere and attract other people's attention.
After thinking it over, Su Yuan fixed his gaze on the sculpture's right hand that was hanging naturally.
The height of the statue's right hand was just at the level of Su Yuan's eyes. After calming down, Su Yuan slightly adjusted his position and raised his arm. His sleeves slid down slightly to reveal a white section. Su Yuan drew on the palm of the statue's right hand with a slightly stagnant breath.
Even though he had expected it, the contradictory and strange touch still made Su Yuan's fingertips tremble.
The subtle feeling of friction continued to spread with every stroke Su Yuan made.
Su Yuan had not had the time to learn the words of this world, so he could not write "I'm sorry" directly on the palm of the statue. He could only apologize silently while drawing the lip shapes corresponding to the words.
Su Yuan wasn't sure if the statue was really sentient, or if it could recognize lip shapes like the protagonist.
He just wanted to calm down and paint the statue's palm as lifelike as possible.
He really didn't mean it.
When Su Yuan finished the painting, he was not sure whether his blood vessels or nerves jumped when his overly tense fingers relaxed, or whether he was having an illusion.
Su Yuan seemed to feel the palm of the statue tremble slightly.
With his heart in his throat, Su Yuan stared tensely at the palm of his hand. Hastily, he looked up at the statue which he still couldn't see clearly, then he fixed his gaze on his palm again as if to confirm.
In order not to miss any subtle changes, Su Yuan kept moving closer to watch in the dim light.
Fingers that hang naturally will naturally be slightly bent. Su Yuan paid too much attention to the palm of his hand. By the time he realized it, his slightly delicate chin was already resting on the slightly curved fingertips of the statue.
Su Yuan's face is not even as big as a normal person's palm, not to mention that the statue in front of him is several times larger than an adult.
As Su Yuan's chin rested on the statue's fingertips, a relatively enclosed space was formed. Su Yuan's rapid breathing quickly transferred his warmth. When the palm of the statue became a little stuffy, the statue seemed no longer cold.
Su Yuan, who was observing closely, didn't notice any subtle changes.
He moved his distance and compared it with his other hand, but still didn't see anything unusual.
Su Yuan couldn't figure out what emotion he was feeling, but he could only look away.
There seemed to be more sweat on his forehead. After wiping it, Su Yuan turned his eyes back to the people in front of him. His breath would not last long. After what happened just now, it had completely dissipated in the air. However, the scene in front of him did not make Su Yuan feel relieved. Looking at everyone who was still not satisfied, Su Yuan was made to retreat by their expressions of loss and recollection.
The thought of not wanting to experience the strange touch of the statue again stopped Su Yuan's behavior in time, allowing Su Yuan to stay where he was.
The abnormal panting sound had disappeared and the church was now very quiet.
It was not known whether it was because of their 'success' in their actions, or because of the reward he had just given them, but the gazes of these people were even more ardent, and the strong emotions surging in them made the entire church seem increasingly strange as it was enveloped by strange emotions.
Su Yuan didn't want to look at the expressions of these people, nor did he dare to have any interaction with the sculpture again. He stared at the ground in a daze. This time, he saw that the magic circle under the tear bottle was almost fading to the point of being invisible.
It seemed that the formation that he had summoned was about to become ineffective.
After being buffeted by a series of strange encounters, Su Yuan's sanity, which had disappeared for a long time, gradually returned. Looking at the formation, he did not feel much relief.
Even though he got through today, as long as these tears are here, there will be another one sooner or later.
So, he should destroy these tears that could point to him.
With this thought in mind, Su Yuan held his breath and carefully walked away from the statue towards the leading man again.
I don’t know if it’s because of the fear that made my senses dull, but when Su Yuan moved away from the sculpture, he felt the temperature behind him became colder.
With cold sweat on his back that made him tremble constantly and countless people in front of him staring at him with burning eyes that he could not control at all, Su Yuan was actually completely unable to withstand such a situation. It was only because he did not want to have anything to do with this place anymore that he was able to control his voice and move forward despite this weirdness.
But the pace was still a lot slower than normal.
After finally returning to the place where he first stood, just as Su Yuan was about to quickly pick up the bottle and throw it to the ground, he found that he was a step too late and his hands began to become transparent.
The moment the scene around him changed, Su Yuan had only one thought in his mind.
It’s over. There will be next time.
and--
It is very likely to be even more terrifying than today.
When he heard the sound of normal breathing, Su Yuan, who had returned to his seat in the card master's hall, felt anxious and at the same time couldn't help but feel annoyed for being a step slower.
When Su Yuan came back, the winner of the match between Yan Zhou and Li Zhou had just been decided.
Li Zhou stood exhausted on the stage, looking at the opposite side in shock and disbelief. Rarely, he did not pay attention to the gazes of the onlookers, but looked at Su Yuan.
Li Zhou immediately felt the regret and disappointment revealed by Su Yuan.
Was he disappointed that he didn't win and save the other person?
Li Zhou's hands, which were hanging by his legs and should have been powerless, suddenly clenched.
He betrayed the other party's trust.
The other party must be very disappointed in him.
*
After forcing himself to come back to his senses, Su Yuan recognized the situation in front of him.
He didn't get to see the fight between the protagonist and Li Zhou, but the extremely quiet venue, as if shocked, and everyone's shocked looks at Yan Zhou, told Su Yuan that the protagonist had won.
Su Yuan stood up and hurriedly walked towards the venue where the fluorescent blue film had been removed.
In the plot, after the protagonist's mental power overflowed into the key, although he killed the second group of pursuers, his body and mind became very weak.
Even though the people have changed now, the results should be similar.
Su Yuan didn't have the physical fitness to climb up directly, so he could only take the only staircase in the corner on Li Zhou's side. As soon as he stepped onto the competition stage, he felt Li Zhou's gaze following him.
"?"
Su Yuan failed to recognize the complex emotions of the red-haired young man at the moment, and only judged that Li Zhou was in a very bad and negative mood.
His eyes stopped on Li Zhou's clenched right hand. Su Yuan clearly saw that when he looked over, Li Zhou's fist actually clenched tighter.
Could it be that he felt too embarrassed and so got angry and wanted to beat up the "culprit"?
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat and the tip of his nose wrinkled under the mask.
Why, why are you so petty?
Su Yuan, who was worried about being beaten, pursed his lips as he walked past Li Zhou, patted his arm and motioned him to look at the wall in front.
There were words written on it. Although Su Yuan couldn't understand them, the friendly handshake scene next to it made Su Yuan guess that it was probably a slogan similar to "Friendship first, competition second".
Li Zhou felt guilty and regretful for the bad impression he had left on Su Yuan. When he looked over there in a daze, his eyes suddenly became red.
When he failed to meet the other party's expectations, the other party knew that the bastard would be angry afterwards, but he still insisted on coming up for him and comforting him.
"I don't deserve you to treat me like this." Li Zhou said in a hoarse voice.
Su Yuan, who was about to seize the opportunity to sneak over to the protagonist, said: "?"
