Transformed into a heartthrob's simp, every day is a battleground.

Chapter 70 Danger, Danger, Danger

It was as if they felt the atmosphere wasn't scary enough.

The once pitch-black Cimu Hall was suddenly filled with lanterns, one after another, rising higher like Kongming lanterns. When Yan Xun looked up again, the lanterns had filled the entire Cimu Hall.

The tall, thin figure slowly turned around in front of Yan Xun.

He turned around very slowly, as if he wanted Yan Xun to see everything clearly.

When the person's body was halfway turned, Yan Xun finally saw the person's profile clearly.

He stared wide-eyed, as if he had died with his eyes open, his body was soaking wet, and one of his shoes was missing.

That was Yan Xun's own face.

He looked at Yan Xun, and a sudden smile appeared on his long-dead, stiff face.

'You're next.'

Yan Xun, holding the axe in his hand, said, "Playing tricks."

As he spoke, he picked up his axe and stepped forward, chopping off "himself" in a few strokes—the person's body seemed to consist only of bones, and after a few moves, Yan Xun chopped it into pieces, scattering them on the ground.

Some landed on the prayer mat and rolled around a few times.

At this moment, Yan Xun was already standing in the main hall of the Cimu Hall.

He held the axe in his hand, looking every bit like a blasphemous, unbeliever.

He looked up at the tall, golden statue of the compassionate mother. The children beside her were all staring at Yan Xun, while the compassionate mother above her head still had that pitiful look with her eyes lowered.

Yan Xun looked up at the golden statue of the Compassionate Mother Goddess.

The three heads and six arms underwent countless changes in his eyes, and finally, the golden statue of the Compassionate Mother Goddess seemed to be successfully summoned in an instant.

He came back to life.

He stretched out his arm and picked up the scattered pieces of "Yan Xun" from the ground—

'You are guilty.'

'You are guilty.'

His three heads spoke at the same time. Even though Yan Xun shouldn't have understood what language it was, he still understood the meaning of those voices.

It was a voice that could pierce through his head, instantly grabbing his head and putting it back into a juicer, as if to squeeze out his pitiful brains for Him to enjoy.

Pain, panic, sadness... all sorts of indescribable emotions flooded Yan Xun's mind in an instant.

Along with that explosive pain that could drive a person mad.

"Ha." Yan Xun lowered his head and wiped away the blood flowing from his nose.

His ears, nose, and eyes may be bleeding.

He felt a blood-red blur before his eyes, and the benevolent Mother Goddess above him instantly changed her appearance, her previous kind and gentle countenance gone; her mouth gaped open—

The mouth was actually on his chest.

Six arms stretched out like noodles, ready to grab Yan Xun.

Yan Xun gritted his teeth and finally took out the paper doll and threw it out.

—The paper doll instantly transformed into Yan Xun's likeness.

The Goddess Cimu seemed confused for a moment. Yan Xun wiped away the blood from his nose and smeared it on the paper figure that had become himself. Before the Goddess Cimu could react, he immediately left the main hall of Cimu Hall.

'return.'

'return.'

'return.'

The three heads made the same sound at the same time.

Yan Xun felt that his eardrums must have been destroyed, but the sounds were drilling directly into his head.

He looked up at the Goddess of Compassion again, and finally simply threw the axe in his hand away—

"boom!"

The thing hit Cimu Jin directly.

The sound of metal and stone resonated.

Yan Xun seized the opportunity to leave the main hall of the Cimu Hall.

He looked up at the lanterns overhead, which seemed to be everywhere, staring at him like eyes. He felt as if his head and body were being kneaded into countless pieces, and the pain was so intense that he wanted to die.

Finally, he smelled a very faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Then he lost all consciousness.

……

Gu Jia suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately stood up from behind the tree.

"Yan Xun is in danger."

Sun Zhao turned to look at the Cimu Hall, "Shall we go in together?"

This part wasn't shown in the movie; it only showed Sun Zhao searching outside the door without success, and then the timeline shifted to the next day.

It's obviously impossible to get through through the main gate.

Fortunately, the walls of the Cimu Hall were not high, and the two of them helped each other climb over into the Cimu Hall.

At this moment, only the main hall of the Cimu Hall still had burning candles and oil lamps; all the other rooms were pitch black... Sun Zhao glanced at the osmanthus tree in the Cimu Hall.

The strong, almost pungent, fragrance of osmanthus blossoms filled his nostrils.

The ground was also covered with golden osmanthus flowers.

Sun Zhao suddenly seemed confused, "...Were there osmanthus flowers in the Cimu Hall before?"

"It's not the season for osmanthus trees to bloom right now," Gu Jia said.

The Cimu Hall was not large. He glanced at Yan Yu's room and saw that it was also completely dark.

At this moment, only the osmanthus tree with its petals falling continuously and the two cautious intruders remained in the small Cimu Hall.

Gu Jia felt a little annoyed. He felt that he should have used props to follow Yan Xun into the Cimu Hall.

But he knew what Yan Yu was, so he was naturally worried that he would be discovered, and that Yan Xun's storyline would not be completed, and the punishment for the dungeon would be activated prematurely.

He originally thought that since Cimu Hall was so close to that tree, there wouldn't be any problems.

Although Yan Yu is terrifying, in the early stages of the film, the other party doesn't intend to do anything, so he will definitely be able to handle it successfully.

Sun Zhao turned on his phone's flashlight and looked around the Cimu Hall. He saw a broken water vat in the corner and stared at it for a few more moments. "How did this thing break?"

—The disappearance of those college students is related to this.

They were just lodging guests, so of course they wouldn't remember what the Yan family owned, let alone notice if there was an extra water vat in the corner.

In the movie, Yan Xun also went missing for this reason, but was eventually found in a small pond.

Gu Jia looked at the overly quiet main hall of the Compassionate Mother's Hall, and finally went inside.

Sun Zhao knew, of course, that the main hall of the Compassionate Mother Hall was extremely dangerous. After thinking for a moment, he followed her inside.

……

Inside a side room, Yan Yu "watched" all of this and said, "See, I already told you."

"They never had good intentions; they wanted to steal the treasure."

"Xiao Yan." He looked down at the unconscious Yan Xun with pity, "It's a pity you can't see."

"They are not good people."

"Outsiders are all liars."

……

As soon as Sun Zhao stepped into the main hall of the Compassionate Mother Hall, he looked at the golden statue of the Compassionate Mother behind the offering table.

The light inside the main hall was too dim, so he couldn't see the face of the villager from Wusheng Village who was worshipping him. He could only see the square boxes at His feet... and an axe?

Sun Zhao almost thought he was seeing things.

But he quickly realized that the object on the altar was indeed a wood-chopping axe.

"...This isn't a shop item?" He certainly remembered that this was an axe that cost 2000 points in the shop and was said to have a legendary bonus, but many players had bought it and found that the system was lying; it was just a very ordinary wood-chopping axe.

Yan Xun was just here! Sun Zhao immediately realized that something must have happened to him, otherwise the other party wouldn't have taken out an axe to deal with him.

Perhaps their commotion was too great, as it attracted unnecessary attention.

With a creak, the door to the side room of the main hall opened.

Although Sun Zhao didn't know what Yan Yu was, he knew it was definitely not human. He instinctively wanted to find a place to hide when Gu Jia suddenly said—

"Hide behind the Golden Body of the Compassionate Mother Goddess!"

He knelt down as he spoke, muttering, "I hope you won't blame me."

Before Sun Zhao could react, she climbed up to the golden statue of the compassionate mother behind the altar...
