108, Eyes in the shrine

 The shrine placed in the corridor reveals a deep dark red color as a whole.

The red color turns black, and it looks like black, with a faint hint of dark red.

In terms of style, it feels the same as those one-person-high shrines placed at the entrance of small shops.

This thing is usually a small pavilion used to place statues of gods and Buddhas and ancestral tablets. It is open, has no curtains, has an upper niche door, and a base below. It is a vertical rectangle regardless of steps. If you just look at the back, it feels like

Like a coffin.

At least the difference is not big.

However, this thing is very special, it is a supernatural item.

Su Yuan suspected that there was a ghost hidden inside.

Looking inside from the outside, it is a darkness that even ghost eyes cannot see through. It seems that there is a strange force blocking the prying eyes of ghost eyes. The darkness is so thick that it seems impossible to break away, making it impossible to reveal anything from inside.

I learned from a woman that this shrine is very special and cannot be moved or damaged.

Someone once tried to move it into the room, but the next day, the shrine appeared in its original location again, but the person who moved it lost sight of it and simply disappeared.

There are also people who have been foolish in despair and violently dismantled the entire shrine. However, after dismantling it, there was nothing inside.

By the next day, the shrine appeared unscathed, but the man who used force to dismantle the shrine died miserably. His whole body was torn into several pieces, and his internal organs were spilled on the floor.

Since then, no one has thought about the shrine, and it seems that it can only appear in a specific location.

This is obviously the curse of the evil spirit.

As for the method of using the shrine, it is somewhat different from the ghost cupboard. The trading principle of the ghost cupboard is to complete two requirements to achieve a transaction condition, which is an unequal transaction.

If the trader is too greedy and the Ghost Cabinet fulfills his request, the Ghost Cabinet will continue to make conditions to the latter, so that the transaction will continue and never stop.

Until one party can no longer bear it, but only people will suffer. Even if the rules are equal, given the gap between people and ghosts, it is destined to be an extremely unequal transaction.

But the shrine is different. The trading rule of the shrine is that if you put forward a condition, it will ask for the price first, and only after you pay the price first, will it meet your request.

It sounds like a disadvantage at first, but in a way, it's not.

At least it's not as deceptive as a ghost closet, two for one.

This is how the survivors figured out how to use the shrine, and their food and drinking water were provided by the shrine.

Normally, one person can be exchanged for food that everyone can eat within two days. By exchanging people for things and sacrificing one of the survivors, enough food can be exchanged. If you save a little on food, you can last almost the same.

One week.

A complete corpse is also acceptable, but it seems that lifeless things are less valuable and can only be exchanged for one day's worth of food.

This is why the number of living people in supernatural places is decreasing.

This is also the reason why everyone desperately wants to leave this hellish place. No one wants to be sacrificed in exchange for food.

Usually they usually vote to decide who will be the sacrifice, but not everyone is willing to die, so the conflicts between the survivors are increasing.

If it hadn't been for the middle-aged man shouting so loudly today, none of these people would have come out.

But Su Yuan would not think as much as they did. He wanted to try this so-called shrine now.

See if he can achieve his wish.

Following the method given by the woman, Su Yuan walked to the shrine, gently knocked on the door of the upper shrine and said, "I want to make a transaction."

When he said these words, Su Yuan opened his ghost eyes and peered inside. However, the next moment, a pair of eyes suddenly emerged from the depths of darkness and appeared in Su Yuan's field of vision;

These strangely appearing eyes were looking at Su Yuan who was looking inside through the hollow door.

The two pairs of ghost eyes stared at each other.

While you are annotating Li Gui, Li Gui is also looking at you.

Their eyes met, and the scene froze for a moment.

Mudd!

Su Yuan was startled and took a few steps back. This was an instinctive reaction. He knew that there was a ghost inside, but who would have thought that the ghost would look at people secretly and use ghost eyes to peek like him.

Don’t learn from the good ones, but learn from the bad ones!

When Su Yuan came to his senses and looked over again, the ghost eyes in the shrine were gone again.

But a piece of paper appeared on the base, with several twisted black fonts written on it.

"What are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"

This sentence again...

Su Yuan's expression remained unchanged, but he was slightly shocked.

If I remember correctly, the piece of human skin said the same thing back then.

These fierce ghosts who are suspected of possessing intelligence are all aliens among ghosts, but even they can't tell them apart?

Is it because of the system?

But when he thought of the system, Su Yuan almost forgot that he hadn't signed in yet, so he immediately thought in his heart:

"System, sign in for me!"

[Sign in successfully, get the item: scapegoat doll]

A scapegoat?

That's a good thing!

It is a weird doll that can move. As long as you put a drop of blood on the surrogate doll, and then let the doll move on its own, any evil ghost that attacks me will turn to attack the doll. Before the doll is killed, the doll will move.

All will be safe.

It's a pity that it is a consumable item and will be worn out easily. When the doll is worn out, the contents inside will leak out and it will lose its supernatural effect. It is a special consumable item.

Without any intention of taking out the rag doll, Su Yuan said: "Don't worry about me. I'm here to trade. Can I trade?"

After a while, the piece of paper at the base of the shrine was pulled back and replaced with another one, which still wrote in crooked font: "What do you want?"

Su Yuan stated his request without hesitation: "I want the things in room 4444."

This is what he thought. God knows how far into this strange place he has to go into that weird room. The risk he takes is too great, it takes too long, and he is very likely to face ghosts of unknown levels along the way.

Rather than taking such a huge risk, it would be better to just let this weird shrine help him get the things. He just doesn't know if this ghost is powerful enough to fulfill his wish.

As expected, the note was quickly taken back and replaced with another note.

"If you can't do it, please make another request."

Sure enough! This thing is not omnipotent!

Su Yuan suddenly realized that if this thing was omnipotent, he would directly wish to be side by side with the sun. He just didn't know if it would send him to the sky or pick the sun off and give it to him.
