Chapter 103 The Resurrected Statue

Sun Hang picked the statue's nostrils with his fingers with some evil taste, and immediately, that strange pleasure also appeared in his own nasal cavity.

"Is it just a synchronization of senses, or is it..."

A slit of a blade extended from the tip of Ji Erqijiuliu's finger and lightly scratched the face of the statue.

Sun Hang could feel the texture of the front end of the blade cutting through the skin, but there were no scratches on the statue's face.

At first Sun Hang didn't feel anything, but two seconds later, a slight burning sensation came from his cheek. Sun Hang reached out and touched it, and his fingertips were immediately stained with bright red blood.

"Can the attacks I received be transmitted to me?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. "A rule-based weirdo?"

But if it is a monster, why is my devouring ability completely ineffective against it?

Sun Hang thought about it, and stuffed the head back into the groove behind the statue. But as soon as he put it in, he felt suffocated, his vision became blurred, and the whole world began to spin...

When he took the portrait out of the groove again, these strange visions disappeared instantly, as if everything was just his illusion.

"…Do I have to carry this head with me forever?"

Sun Hang's gaze suddenly moved to the headless Buddha statue.

What would happen if the Buddha's head were put back in place?
Will he change back to his original Buddha appearance, or...will he become the Buddha sitting in front of the altar?

Sun Hang does not believe in religion. In his opinion, whether it is the gods and Buddhas believed in by Orientals, the God believed in by Westerners, or the Lord believed in by oil men, they are all spiritual sustenance invented by humans.

Sun Hang glanced at the white mycelium that spread throughout the hall...

In a sense, these fictional religions are not even as reliable as those cults that believe in weird things.

At least, the weird things that the latter "believe in" do exist in reality.

The mycelium gathered at Sun Hang's feet and lifted him to the same level as the Buddha's shoulders. He carefully looked at the fractured parts of the Buddha's neck and head and found that they matched perfectly - that is, the head with his face did belong to this Buddha statue.

Exhaling slowly, Sun Hang carefully straightened the twisted steel bars and then connected the head.

Looking at the Buddha statue sitting on the lotus pedestal which had the same face as his own, Sun Hang always felt it was particularly weird. He couldn't help but have an urge to smash the statue to pieces.

However, before putting his impulse into action, Sun Hang was very cautious and tried the knife again - this time, a wound appeared on the face of the statue, while Sun Hang's own face was unharmed.

Although the scratches on the statue's face "healed on their own" in less than two seconds, the voodoo doll-like curse was finally lifted!

Then why is Sun Hang being polite to it?
Ji Erqijiu Liu immediately turned into a giant hammer and smashed it down on the Buddha statue! Just as the huge hammer was about to touch the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue suddenly opened its eyes, raised one hand, and forcibly resisted the giant hammer.

"Alive?" Sun Hang looked the Buddha statue up and down - although the Buddha statue had its eyes open, its eyeballs were just two cement balls, without pupils, and without the charm of a living thing.

The huge hammer immediately liquefied and flowed through the fingers of the Buddha statue, wrapping up the raised arm of the Buddha statue in the blink of an eye. The next second, the arm of the Buddha statue was crushed into countless cement blocks of different sizes and scattered on the ground.

Ji Erqijiu Liu took advantage of the situation and pursued, condensing into the shape of a spear, which directly pierced through the heart of the Buddha statue - assuming that the Buddha statue had a heart and that it was in the same position as a human's.

But before Ji Erqi96 could transform again, the broken arms of the Buddha gathered together again, grabbed the part of the spear that remained outside, and pulled it out of the body little by little.

"The injuries are no longer transmitted to me, but I have the ability to recover myself?" Sun Hang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Why are there only these troublesome abilities..."

It is a good thing for Sun Hang to encounter a strange creature with special abilities, but the premise is that he can use this ability for his own benefit. Long before he connected the Buddha statue's head back, Sun Hang tried to use mycelium to "devour" the statue, but to no avail.

The devouring ability of Taotie essentially devours the strange virus carried by the strange creature (this is a more popular name among the people, and the official scientific name of the Xiazhou Federation is "meme"). But the problem is that there is no meme on this Buddha statue - it is just a large piece of stone, a large piece of cement mixed with steel bars!

Ji Erqijiu Liu quickly broke free from the Buddha's hand by liquefying. Its volume suddenly expanded, breaking the Buddha statue into pieces from the inside. Then it turned into several rapidly rotating thick iron chains, beating the cement blocks into finer powder.

But even after being beaten into powder, the Buddha statue continued to reshape itself again and again, and gradually climbed down from the lotus platform, approaching where Sun Hang was.

Not only that, its recovery speed is also getting faster and faster - at the beginning, it took four or five seconds to gather the fragments after being shattered into pieces, but now, those fragments have not even fallen to the ground, they have already flown back to the place where the Buddha statue was destroyed, and in the blink of an eye it has been restored to its original state.

"Bang!!"

The Buddha statue slapped down with a palm, and Sun Hang dodged and retreated quickly. The bluestone slabs on the ground were immediately shattered, and the flying fragments hit Sun Hang's face fiercely...

"Wait a minute? Am I seeing things?" The moment this thought came to his mind, time in Sun Hang's field of vision seemed to freeze. He could clearly see the trajectory of the flying particles in the air, and also clearly see some tiny scratches on the face of the Buddha statue.

The places where the scratches appeared were not hit by debris, they seemed to appear out of thin air...and the most crucial point is that these scratches did not recover on their own.

The flow of time returned to normal. Sun Hang rolled up and looked at the face of the Buddha statue at first sight.

Those tiny scratches are still there!
A bold idea suddenly popped up in Sun Hang's head.

He pulled out the military dagger issued to the hunters from his waist and stabbed it into his own abdomen without hesitation!
There was no pain, no bleeding, and Sun Hang couldn't even feel the dagger in his body - even though the dagger had sunk to the hilt.

Instead, the Buddha statue not far away suddenly staggered, and there was an obvious pause in its movement... A deep knife wound appeared on the abdomen of the Buddha statue.
