Chapter 400 Sacrifice Song and Castle 48
It was so quiet around them that they could hear their own breathing.
Until the two of them walked to the statue, nothing unexpected happened. If the heat on the offerings hadn't disappeared, they would have thought it was an illusion.
There are only two possibilities for replacing a cold offering. Either it has a microwave heating function, or someone comes here to replace it. Compared with the former, the latter is obviously more convincing.
However, if the offerings were human beings, then no one died today, so where did the offerings come from?
The scene in the fantasy world flashed before his eyes like a movie. Shi Jiu raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, suddenly feeling a headache.
Sometimes some things are most taboo, especially here, where anything is possible.
After seeing that vision, she realized that the sacrifice was a human being. This idea has been difficult to change. No matter what she considers, the starting point will be based on this incident.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in her mood, Qin Juan turned his head slightly. Because he was so close, the breath from his words lightly sprayed against her ear.
Shi Ji shook his head, took a step back unconsciously, and then raised his head to indicate to him to look at the statue.
The statues here are the same except that they are a little bigger than the ones outside, but one thing is strange. According to this height, no matter how good their eyesight is, it is impossible to see the facial features on their heads clearly.
But at this time, the two of them could not only see clearly, but even the lines on it were magnified several times before their eyes.
Looking at those expressionless facial features, Shi Jiu felt more and more strange as he looked at them. Even though he looked at them every day, there was always an unknown feeling of strangeness.
Just as her consciousness gradually drifted away, her eyes flickered, and a big hand suddenly blocked her eyes.
"Stop staring and look at something else."
Qin Juan's voice was a little deep, and he obviously noticed this.
The statue was illuminated by incandescent lamps, giving it a cold glow.
Shi Jiu looked away and glanced at one place with a cold gaze from the corner of her eye. She paused slightly and then looked away.
"I'll go over there and take a look." As she said that, she raised her chin towards the back of the statue.
This house is neither big nor small. It would be quicker for the two of them to separate. As for whether it is safe or not, that is not a consideration at all.
The space behind the statue is very small, and the distance to the wall is no more than the width of two adults.
Shi Yi stretched out his hand and knocked on the statue appropriately, and a dull sound immediately came out. It was solid, and there was no way there was anything hidden inside.
She brushed her fingers slowly, raised her fingertips and twisted them, then turned to look at the wall.
The walls here are different from those outside. I can't tell exactly what, but it is obviously very new here, as if a coat of paint has just been painted and hasn't dried yet.
This time she didn't strike directly, she just leaned against the statue behind and looked at the wall thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. At this moment, she suddenly tilted her head, her gaze fell on one spot, and her voice was low-emotion: "What do you think is in this wall?"
What responded to her was an increasingly quiet atmosphere.
"What did you find?" When Qin Juan came over, he saw her looking at one place vaguely, but if he looked carefully, he could find that most of her attention was on this wall.
Shi Yi looked away, her eyes regained clarity, and she exclaimed: "I'm looking to see if there's anything I can take advantage of."
"It should be easy to smash this wall down."
Qin Juan raised his eyebrows slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he knew what she was thinking. The offerings would not come for no reason. It could only mean that they were the ones from before. In this case, there must be a place to store them. (End of chapter)
