Chapter 68 Strange Puppet Doll
The stranger meeting itself is a specialized in handling mysterious events. Chen Suxian naturally also had some understanding of these religions of the old era and immediately recognized them.
Su Bai nodded: "Well, according to my understanding, in the old era, this kind of god statue was called Guanyin for the Send of Children. Those families who had no children for many years often prayed to Guanyin for the Send of Children, praying that God would give them children..."
"After the child is born successfully, the grateful parents will go to Guanyin to fulfill their wishes and burn incense..."
As soon as he changed his voice, his tone suddenly changed, and his expression was heavy: "Of course that's just an ordinary situation. I'm thinking now that if there were unpredictable changes in the whole old era, what if this "Send to Guanyin for a child" really worked, then would the child sent to him be really "human"?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Or...what is more terrifying?"
The living room was silent.
Chen Suxian obviously understood the strangeness.
It is almost imagined that a lover who dreams of taking advantage of his children will invite various folk rumored Guanyin to his home at a huge cost. There are no taboos and worship them day and night.
Not long after, she finally got pregnant as she wished, but what was in her belly was not the cute fetus she had been waiting for for a long time, but the terrifying ulterior motive that brought death...
What happened after the ghost ulterior motive thousands of years ago is no longer verified, but now this strange ruin in front of them is the enemy they are facing at the moment.
"What do you mean is the entrance to that secret room is here?" Chen Suxian guessed immediately.
"It should be true."
Su Bai moved an iron stool from the side, stepped on it and carefully reached out to touch the shrine.
The candlestick was fixed and was sure that it could not be moved. He reached out to touch the statue of Guanyin.
He fumbled for a while and soon found that the bottom was loose, so he immediately twisted it slightly.
"Click!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly a floor bounced up in the corner of the ground, revealing a gap, which was particularly obvious in a quiet environment.
Chen Suxian and Lin Wanqin immediately walked over and flipped over the floor, and a narrow path leading to the basement was indeed revealed below.
Chen Suxian didn't expect it to be so smooth, and couldn't help but look at Su Bai with an unexpected look.
Originally, she thought he was just a talented researcher, but she didn't expect that her psychological quality was so strong that she even surpassed many field staff!
"Su Bai, you have made a lot of contributions this time. I will report your contributions in detail in the report summarized later, and you will receive the rewards you deserve!"
After she finished speaking, she bent down and walked down first, with Lin Wanqin following closely behind.
Su Bai didn't expect she would say this at this time, but now time is tight, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately jumped off the stool and followed behind.
After entering the secret door, you can see that the path extending downward is not flat, with potholes full of mud, and some places are still seeping water. It is a miracle that it has not collapsed for so many years.
It shouldn't have been dug out by professionals, but it seems like it was dug out secretly by myself.
Fortunately, the trail was not long. After spreading down for a distance, a small, unlocked narrow door soon appeared in front of you.
After pushing open the door, the sudden light caught several people off guard.
It was a small room with an area of more than ten square meters. Two white candles were lit on the walls. The jumping fire dispelled the darkness around it, but the air was also particularly dull, and it seemed that the oxygen content was not sufficient.
"There are candles? Someone?"
The three of them walked in one by one, carefully looking at the underground secret room.
The walls of the secret room are made of red clay bricks, and the gaps are not filled, but they are also pressed tightly by soil from all directions and are airtight.
But what is really terrifying is that there are more than a dozen puppets in the room, all of which are all dressed up very well, and they look like real people.
And it was here that they saw the doll puppet for the first time.
In the center of the room was an old dusty Eight Immortals table, which was covered with wood chips and carving carpenter knives, as well as iron pigment plates and paintbrushes. The pigments on them had not dried up yet.
A puppet that has been completed looks like a toddler is sitting upright on the table, as if it is a work of art that has just been completed.
At first glance, it is exquisite and charming.
Both facial features and expressions were vivid, and her azure blue eyes seemed to be really innocent and ignorant children, curiously looking at the three people entering the basement.
But this is also the only doll puppet here.
"What a cute doll..."
Lin Wanqin whispered, and wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Su Bai.
"Wait, something is definitely wrong with this thing."
The hostess here obviously has such a deep obsession, but only this hidden doll puppet can be seen in the entire ruins, and it is made so realistic.
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that there is something wrong!
Shen Suxian took a step forward and looked calm: "I'll go and see. Even if something is wrong, I have the ability to protect myself."
Su Bai glanced at her unexpectedly.
This woman...
Any other trump card not to be played?
She walked carefully to the Eight Immortals table step by step, and there was no accident along the way. She hesitated for a moment and reached out to pick up the doll.
"Nothing happened?"
This was a bit beyond Su Bai's expectations.
At this time, Shen Suxian suddenly said, "This doll is a bit strange."
She turned around and showed the doll in front of the two of them.
Su Bai saw its appearance completely and realized that although it was perfect in shape, it only lacked the right arm.
The gap above was exposed from the clothes, as if it had been cut off and taken away, leaving only this broken one-armed doll.
Su Bai was confused.
"Are you imitating the old goddess Venus? But which parent would want their children to be born with disabilities..."
Shen Suxian said again: "In addition to missing an arm, its skin is also very strange. It does not feel the texture of wood, but it is very smooth and warm, just like... it is like human skin!"
"Human leather puppet?"
It's getting weirder.
However, after careful observation, we can find that the puppet is not covered with human skin. It is just the upper part and the lower part seem to be not completed yet, from the warm, soft and smooth human skin to the feeling of wood.
"This skin is very strange. It is not sewn on the back, but it seems to be grown by itself..." Shen Suxian frowned.
Su Bai pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Is it possible that it is evolving?"
"You mean... it is slowly growing human skin and turning itself into a real child?" Shen Suxian was a little surprised at his guess.
