Chapter 312 My Wish 34
System 5488: [After testing, you are fine. 】
The problem is this dilapidated temple.
System 5488 was a little worried that its own cabbage would not become the next Gao Shuya.
Once you enter the temple, you will be completely brainwashed and even forget your own identity. The only thing you want to do is to be a fanatical fan of the evil god.
Yu Ke tried to restrain herself, but the urge to go in only grew stronger.
It's over. She hasn't even entered yet, but she already feels that it doesn't matter even if it hits her waist.
She turned her head to look at the others. They were still debating whether or not to go in. They were very cautious and had many concerns.
This is what a normal player should do.
But Yu Ke couldn't wait any longer.
She was about to say that she would go in alone first when she suddenly heard the familiar sound of waves.
Not only her, but others also heard it. Everyone's eyes focused and looked behind them.
The sea water, which had not come up for a long time, spread into their field of vision again.
Although the sound was much smaller than before and the speed of surging forward was also much slower, it was indeed approaching the players little by little.
"Oh my god, the ghost is still there!"
Hua Wenxiang looked around, trying to find a suitable escape route.
In his opinion, neither the dilapidated temple nor the sea water is a good thing, so there is no need to choose between the two in the garbage dump.
Don't get involved with any of them.
However, Hua Wenxiang looked around 360 degrees and realized with heavy heart that this dog game really only allowed them to choose one of two options in the garbage dump.
The dark and thick sea water had surrounded them at some point, slowly eroding inwards with the ruined temple as the center.
And its end point is where the players are.
Dai Ningzhen: "Come on, we have no choice now, let's go into the temple."
As soon as she heard that she could enter the ruined temple, Yu Ke's attention was instantly diverted from the sea, and she controlled the small flying carpet to stop in front of the door of the ruined temple.
After Dai Ningzhen went down, Yu Ke quickly put away the props, took two steps at a time, stepped over the threshold without hesitation, and entered the dilapidated temple.
“Hey!”
The people behind didn't expect Yu Ke to go in like this. They didn't try to stop her and just looked at each other helplessly.
Hua Wenxiang narrowed her eyes, "Why do I feel like she's a little... horny?"
Bai Song: "...What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them."
Dai Ningzhen had witnessed the changes in Gao Shuya before and after she entered the temple. Seeing that Yu Ke's performance seemed a little strange, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
I'm going to have PTSD about the temple.
The three of them stood at the temple gate, looking around but did not move a step.
Yu Ke, who was already inside the temple, didn't care whether they came in or not. Her mind and eyes were filled with the debris on the ground.
This dilapidated temple is the same inside and out. Outside, it is overgrown with weeds, and the brick walls have collapsed, giving it a desolate look. Inside, the pillars are crooked, the incense burners have fallen over, and the whole place is in ruins.
The statue that was originally enshrined was also broken into pieces, leaving only a pile of rubble scattered on the ground.
Yu Ke was stunned, feeling empty inside, and she always felt that this scene was totally different from what she had imagined.
But what kind of scene did she imagine?
She couldn't speak again.
“This was once a temple.”
The old lady's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Yu Ke's thoughts. She turned her head and saw the old lady kneeling on the dusty ground.
"Decades ago, the village developed, and factories were built one after another. Everyone made money, built new houses, repaired roads, and their lives became better and better."
“There are fewer and fewer people coming to worship.”
Yu Ke couldn't help but ask, "What god is enshrined in this temple?"
The old lady's eyes were blank, as if she was reminiscing about something. After a while, she shook her head.
"I don't know... I forgot. We all forgot."
"Factories discharge sewage into the sea. So much dirty water is discharged every day. As more and more factories are built, the amount of dirty water increases."
"From one day on, the color of the sea water changed. It became like the dirty water, smelly and black. No one dared to go to the sea anymore."
"But some things just don't exist if we ignore them."
"People were dying one after another. Everyone was scared. They said the sea gods were angry and were punishing us."
"The factory was smashed and it was forbidden to reopen, but it was useless. People still died."
The villagers were in fear day and night, and the evil god then made a request, asking everyone to move away from their original location, build a temple for it, worship it every day, and offer human sacrifices every year.
Yu Ke: "Was this temple destroyed by the evil god?"
The old lady did not deny the evil god's words. A strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was mocking him, but also with an inexplicable sadness.
“It was someone who smashed it.”
"They are unwilling to bear the consequences of their own sins, and they come to pray to God when they get an advantage. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
“When they didn’t get a response, they demolished the temple, saying there was no God in the world, so it would be better to demolish the temple and have an extra piece of land.”
"After that, the True God appeared."
Good and bad fortune have no doors, but are summoned by people. If you have evil thoughts, evil will come to you.
“It’s all retribution, it’s all retribution…” the old lady murmured in a low voice: “Those who survived are also monsters, those who resurrected are also monsters, they are all monsters.”
Yu Ke pursed her lips, her little head in a mess.
She wanted to know more about this dilapidated temple, but the old lady obviously knew nothing.
System 5488: [Baby, don’t worry about those things, just ask about the things related to the main quest, let’s clear it first! 】
Yes.
I almost forgot the mission.
"Granny, who am I?"
The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Yu Ke, who was still radiant even though she was in a desolate and dilapidated temple, and sighed.
"I've said this, don't you understand?"
"Who would be willing to be the annual human sacrifice? If no one is willing, then we can only find someone from outside."
They lure unsuspecting outsiders here, or simply abduct them by force.
"You have such an outstanding face, I want to leave it to my son."
"As a result, you resisted fiercely and always wanted to escape, but you were so incompetent that you could even break your brain while running."
"I originally thought it was God's will, allowing you to forget the past and stay here peacefully, but who would have thought..."
The old lady was interrupted by a noisy sound at the door before she could finish her words.
Hua Wenxiang and the other two, who had been hiding outside the door and were overly cautious, suddenly rushed in.
“It’s coming, it’s coming!”
"Boat! Buy a boat!"
Yu Ke looked behind them and was immediately shocked!
The black sea water has flooded to the entrance of the temple!
No wonder Hua Wenxiang and the others finally agreed to come in.
"Be quiet, the sea water can't come in for the time being."
The old lady spoke in a cold voice, suppressing the strange cries of Hua Wenxiang and the other two.
After hearing what the old lady said, several people were stunned, and finally shut their mouths. They looked back and found that the sea water had indeed stopped outside the temple gate and was motionless.
The temple was clearly in tatters and had holes everywhere, but it still kept the sea water out.
