Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 146 Offerings
"That's about it." Baisu summed it up briefly, "Why don't you guys talk?"

"..." Qi Zhuyue closed her eyes tightly, not wanting to say a word.

All her strength was used to cover her mouth so that she would not spit it out.

She knew she was motion sick, so she had never been in the car of a teammate named Xia in the team.

But she didn't expect that she would experience something more exciting than motion sickness today.

An Xiangwen next to him adapted well. When he was mentioned for the second time, he quickly found the position of his burden, and also closed his eyes, letting the sense of weightlessness go up and down.

"So those statues in front attacked us because we were tied with red strings?" An Xiangwen thought hard, "The people without the red strings...should they be the ones who were not in the dream last night?"

The curly-haired young man babbled with his eyes closed. He said that he suspected that the red rope that bound him in the last scene in the square in his dream last night was the one on his wrist.

And the murderer who strangled people should be a new visitor to the temple today.

Baisu agrees with this point, that face was indeed not among the guests staying last night.

"And brother Bai, what do you mean by the mark?" An Xiangwen asked.

"You are being targeted." Baisu stopped at a high place and replied, "You may be selected as sacrifices."

"Sacrifice?" Qi Zhuyue's voice was muffled, a little vaguely heard through the palm of his hand.

"Yes." Baisu lowered her eyes, watching the statue below and reaping another life, "Sacrifice, what kind of sacrifice is it for the Buddha?"

The screams of human beings resounded below, Baisu waited for the statue to finish work, and then Shi Shi suddenly fell down, wrapped in white catkins with the statue deprived of mobility, he continued to jump while digesting.

"Buddha?"

"Ah, yes, I remember it was called—" Baisu recalled, "Hum Zhudamali na Mingcha Latuo, I should remember correctly."

The name was so awkward that neither An Xiangwen nor Qi Zhuyue could repeat it immediately, An Xiangwen was stunned and asked: "Brother Bai, how do you know..."

"Because I'm awake, the abbot has recited it at least six or seven times." Baisu stopped after eating the statue just now, "Here we are."

He threw the human being forward, but fortunately the height was not too high, no matter whether the two of them were caught or not, at most they would hit their heads.

Baisu let go of the human being, frowned and looked at the plaque hanging in the hall in front of him - the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

Did you find the Palace of Heavenly Kings after walking around like this?
The structure of the temple in the dream has completely changed, and the map I wrote down last night doesn't work either.

But come here, anyway, there is food here, Baisu thought for a while, and walked into the palace gate in front of him.

The two humans behind them followed immediately after alleviating the dizziness, and they also saw the words "Tianwangdian" hanging above their heads.

An Xiangwen was puzzled: "Brother Bai, didn't you mean to go to the square at the Daxiong Palace?"

Baisu's voice came from the front: "Should I send you directly as sacrifices? I have no objection, but I think it's better to go later."

"...What do you mean?" An Xiangwen asked.

Baisu's black head looked back from the gate of the temple, his eyes circled back and forth between the two humans, and then he said: "The sacrifices are fine, but there are still a lot of 'living' human consciousness."

"Compared to those humans I don't know, in my opinion—" Baisu tilted his head, "I still prefer the two of you as sacrifices."

He said the most cruel words with a flat expression.

"Haha... Brother Bai, are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm serious."

The black eyes looked at the human being seriously, without the slightest sign of joking.

The human laughed dryly, then wrapped his arms around himself aggrievedly, and hugged himself.

Oops, Brother Bai seems to be serious.

……

Baisu just circled around the Palace of Heavenly Kings.

The Palace of Heavenly Kings in the dream is probably the same as in reality, the only difference is that all those strange statues have disappeared, presumably they went out to chase after them.

Baisu opened the donation box and took a look, and there were blood-stained coins in it.

He thought it might be something like a ghost coin, so it was just a living person's money stained with blood?
The humans following him also saw this scene, and they shivered, whispering that it was a good thing they didn't invest yesterday.

Bai Li glanced at An Xiangwen, and said casually, "It's okay to invest money, but the red cloth strip was the one that did the most harm yesterday."

The human was stunned: "Huh?"

Baisu continued: "If there is no today's puja, you may be a little unlucky when you go back. The specific degree of unlucky... refer to the prayer you made."

Small wishes are unlucky, but big wishes cost lives.

Saying that, Bai Li glanced out: "You can ask Miss Qi."

An Xiangwen looked at the black-haired girl who was standing outside the temple door and refused to come in, she was shocked by Baisu's previous remarks about the sacrifice, and kept a considerable distance from Baisu.

An Xiangwen asked in a low voice: "Why do you ask Ms. Qi?"

Baisu replied, "She didn't hang up her prayer."

An Xiangwen seemed to have remembered that Qi Zhuyue, who was still wearing Wei Wenxue's appearance yesterday, came out from the banyan tree in a bad mood.

Do you want to ask?Just as he was thinking, An Xiangwen heard a word floating in front of him.

"The bones of devout believers, the life force and blood of foreign sacrifices."

"Brother Bai, what are you thinking?"

Bone, blood, vitality... What is his brother Bai talking about?

"Summon the ceremony of the Buddha's appearance." Baisu's voice was drowned in the back of the hall, "I saw it last night, the abbot is really interesting, the paper documents are placed... ah, behind the covered statue , I’m afraid outsiders won’t see the same thing.”

An Xiangwen: ... No, I don't think normal people can find it.

An Xiangwen wanted to ask where the masked statue was, why he didn't remember it, but before he could ask, a force came from behind him and pulled him out.

The black-haired girl stood at the door frowning, her complexion paled a few shades.

She grabbed An Xiangwen's cuff and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about the current situation?"

Qi Zhuyue knew that it was useless to ask An Xiangwen, he was just an ordinary person, and if he had to say it, he had a closer relationship with Baisu.

When she was questioning, there was the sound of dismantling in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and the lotus seat was vaguely lifted by a mass of white that was not human hands, and then the whole was wrapped and disappeared into the air.

Qi Zhuyue has seen this scene several times. During the time they stayed in the Palace of Heavenly Kings, several statues came to find them, and they were dealt with like this without exception.

Sacrifice, these two words still echoed in her ears.

She felt that Baisu knew a lot.

An Xiangwen was dragged short, he scratched his head and replied, "Just be a sacrifice... what else can I do?"

"There's no way we can save ourselves." An Xiangwen thought openly, "In reality, Miss Qi, you can still draw a gun. In a dream..."

An Xiangwen sighed, and then asked: "Miss Qi, do you think someone can save us from outside?"

Qi Zhuyue quickly glanced at the back of the Palace of Heavenly Kings, and replied: "It's possible, I called my colleague before entering the mountain gate of Fuzhao Temple, and he might come to investigate."

As for whether the anomaly can be detected, it's hard to say, but Brother Xia should be... pretty sharp, right?

Thinking that Xia Chengyin's persistence all along was actually correct, Qi Zhuyue couldn't help but sigh.

Hope someone in their department can find it.
