the last gentleman

Chapter 663
【10 minutes ago】

William and Catherine walked through the cave and stepped into the mysterious cave where the statue of the Lord God was sealed.
Instantly feel completely cut off from the outside world,

An uneasy, weird and gloomy feeling floats from the depths of the cave, and even faint laughter, singing and crying can be heard, small but real.

The cave has been artificially repaired, and the ground and walls have been leveled.
The strange thing is that the entrance of the cave and the woods outside are covered with yellow talismans, but inside the cave, there is no piece of yellow paper used to suppress evil, nor is there any hemp rope.

In addition, the cave passage is not straight but has a slight downward slope. Due to the proximity to the sea, water seepage is serious in the passage, and the humidity exceeds 100%.

The two of them only stood for a while, their whole body clothes were completely soaked,
I even feel that the water droplets attached to my body will continue to penetrate the skin. Even William's body is hard to resist. Once any water penetrates into the body, there will be a little "weakness", which will accumulate over time.

Therefore,

The investigators who came to the village did not really go deep into this weird cave,
In other words, they knew about the existence of Buddha Mother Huahai, and they also knew that such a deity would not be easily offended. Their investigations were limited to 'village stability'.

As long as it is confirmed that there will be no obvious tourist deaths in the village, they will report to the top, and Huahai Village will open again.

After walking for a while, William sat cross-legged, focusing on the abyss in his abdomen. As the abyss rotated, streams of water flowed out along the edge.

He was also relieved, feeling that the weight accumulated in his body was taken out.

Catherine is even simpler. Her octopus legs are exposed and attached to her thighs. If any moisture enters her body, the octopus legs will be expelled immediately.

It looks like running water while walking.

"It's really interesting, I can feel that there is a big thing in here! Not only these villagers, but even the investigators in the urban area are very afraid, not only approaching it easily.

William you drain the water a little faster, I can't wait! "

Under Catherine's urging, the two soon encountered the first fork in the cave passage, and there were three roads in different directions to choose from.

However, there was still a person, or a corpse, standing at the fork in the road.

The eyes have been replaced by flowers, holding a strange smile, raising his finger to the right passage, as if pointing the way for the 'visitor'.

"Catherine, is this direction?"

"That's right, the direction given by the dead man is correct, and the remaining god sense in my body also points to this direction. It seems that the other party really wants to meet us."

"Be careful."

William took the initiative to walk in front, stepped into the right passage first, and made sure that there was nothing wrong before letting Catherine follow.

Not long after the two walked by, they suddenly felt a chill coming from behind them and turned their heads at the same time.

I saw that the "flower man" standing at the fork in the road actually changed his posture,
No longer pointing the way, but beckoning,

The mouth that should have been stiff for a long time was still squirming, as if saying 'Welcome'.

In the next second, his mouth was completely opened, and the flowers packed inside gushed out crazily.

Such a strange phenomenon made Catherine uncomfortable, and she took the initiative to take a step to shorten the distance between William and William, and the octopus tentacles wrapped around William's arms were also wrapped a little tighter.

William wanted to play tricks and tease Catherine's fear, but in the end he didn't say it, but kept it like this.

Soon came another fork in the road,

This made William feel that the so-called cave was more like a man-made underground labyrinth, deliberately trapping Huahai Buddha in the innermost part.

Similarly, at this fork in the road, there was also a flower figure standing here, but he didn't raise his hand to point out the direction.

When the two stepped forward to check the situation,

Swish!The flower man suddenly turned his head, put his flowered face against Catherine's ear, and made a sound through the growth and friction of the flower in his mouth.

"Left~side~"

Catherine was so frightened by the sudden jump-scare that she almost cried out, and the octopus legs stuck between her thighs were completely stretched.

"Catherine, are you all right?"

"Ahem~ What's the matter? These things are not threatening."

"I mean, is this feeling of fear acceptable? Catherine, your [fear] shouldn't be this type?"

"Of course not. What I'm good at is nightmare phobia, not such weird things... I just walked in this liminal space for too long, and I feel a little uncomfortable mentally."

"It may also be because you, Catherine, have absorbed the replica god statue. The deeper you go, the more invisible you are affected."

Speaking of this, William quickly grabbed Catherine's palm, intending to relieve her mental discomfort through this simplest and most direct contact.

Catherine instinctively wanted to break free, but William held on tight,
After breaking free once, let nature take its course,
Facts have proved that the effect of holding hands like this is really good. The diversion of attention made Catherine calm down a lot. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, she even started to actively find topics.

"This fear mode is indeed good. When I return to the circus, I may learn from it to improve the effect of fear."

"Ah."

Next, every time you pass a fork in the road, you will get a reminder from the flower man. After passing through seven forks in the road, a lot of ocean water began to appear in the passage in front of you.

Crying, singing, and laughter also became clearer,
"Since we stepped into the cave, the inclination of the passage has always been downward. Our current location should be lower than the sea level, and the sea of ​​flowers may even be connected to the bottom.

The main statue is most likely at the end of this passage. "

"William, hurry up~ Let me see what the 'god' related to the sea in this world looks like, and how does it compare to me?"

Along the way, William also learned not to meditate, but to expel the sea water from his abdomen while walking.

When the two walked out of the passage, stepping on knee-high sea water, they suddenly became enlightened.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a strange cave, which is completely different from what William imagined.

An underground temple appears in front of you,

Four columns covered with flowers serve as the support of the temple,

The ground is covered with sea water half a meter high, and more than a hundred futons float on the water surface, keeping an invisible distance between them.

On these futons are sparsely kneeling drowned people, with blooming eyes, showing a pious posture even in death.

And the direction of the drowned person is exactly where the main statue is.

In front of them was a tripod censer floating on the water, with several sticks of burning tribute incense sticking out of it,

Behind it corresponds to a main statue with a height of more than 30 meters - "Flower Sea Buddha Mother"

The bloated and bloated fat body sat cross-legged on the lotus flower, with layers of fat, as if it was full of oil and water.The skin on the surface is extremely wrinkled. I don't know whether it is due to malnutrition recently or because of soaking in the sea for too long.

The gesture of the Buddha's mother is similar to that of the statues in the villagers' homes.

The left hand is knotted with the lotus handprint,

The right hand held the white jade bottle, but the inside of the jade bottle was filled with flesh and blood, and also covered with ring-shaped teeth, like a special living magic weapon.

keep looking up,

We will formally observe the difficult-to-describe [head] of the Buddha Mother, from which all the voices heard before come from.

The re-engraved statues in the residents' homes are simply carved with dense flowers on the face of the Buddha mother to represent her face.

In this underground temple, the face of the real statue is indeed covered with flowers, but each flower corresponds to a corpse.

Or,

There are densely packed 'holes' all over the Buddha Mother's face, and the size of the holes is just enough to fit a person or a corpse in 'longitudinal', or it is best described as a sacrifice.

The human body is completely stuffed in, leaving only the head outside.

With the passage of time, the head exposed on the face of the Buddha will fully bloom, and together present such a dignified appearance of "Buddha's face blooming".

When the flowers on the face wither, it means that the sacrifice has been sucked dry, and the corpses kneeling on the futon are the substitutes.

before,

When Huahai Village is operating normally as a tourist attraction,

This underground temple is crowded with people and incense is flourishing at all times. Not only are there kneeling people on every futon, but there are also a large number of "queuing people" floating in the sea.

They all 'can't wait' to be embedded in the face of the Buddha.

Catherine was also stunned by such a scene, how to absorb such a huge statue?
