My God Raising Game

Chapter 2 The Headless Buddha
The main hall was dark and damp, with dark green mold growing in the corners.

"I...I'm hallucinating?"

The internet celebrity with the face of an internet celebrity clung tightly to the arm of her rich second-generation boyfriend.

That's clearly self-deception.

Everyone looked at the headless Buddha, which meant they had all heard it.

"There's something dirty!"

The female office worker gasped, her legs, encased in black stockings, trembling with fear.

"What the hell, are you playing tricks?"

The muscular man cursed and wanted to go check the headless Buddha statue, but he stopped after taking only one step. His gaze swept over the office worker, the delivery guy, and Lu Jiuling.

Be cautious in your actions.

First, find a cannon fodder.

The office worker was thin, with dark circles under his eyes behind his glasses. He couldn't have worked overtime for three or four months straight to get to this extent. He looked like a corporate slave who had been beaten down by society and had resigned himself to his fate.

The delivery guy is strong and healthy, let him go.

There is one high school student left.

When Song Xue saw the thug who didn't look like a good person staring at the boy next to him, she quickly pulled him aside: "Don't look, you'll be targeted!"

Lu Jiuling didn't look away, but narrowed his eyes and met the muscle man's gaze.

Most people have a tendency to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. When faced with such scrutinizing eyes, they will generally choose to avoid it, thinking it's better to do less trouble.

But Lu Jiuling knew he couldn't do that.

Including myself, there were five men and three women, making a total of eight people.

On the men's side, the muscular guy was strong and obviously the best fighter. In addition, he was very polite to the rich second-generation youth. Once they teamed up, they would have the ability to suppress anyone.

The muscular guy is clearly smart; if he can win over just one more man, he'll have absolute power.

Lu Jiuling noticed a detail: the muscular guy only glanced at the delivery guy, which meant that the other party thought it would be easier to deal with him and office workers.

It's obvious that if I don't act like a hothead, I'll definitely be sent to be cannon fodder.

Quit?

That would definitely get you a beating.

"Ha, youthful arrogance!"

The muscle-bound guy was indeed planning to pick a cannon fodder between an office worker and a high school student. Now, looking at Lu Jiuling's tough gaze, he was clearly a bit of a hothead, so he could only make do with the office worker.

"Hey!"

The muscular man yelled at the office worker, "Go check out what's going on with that headless Buddha statue!"

"what?"

The office worker was taken aback, then shook his head: "Why should I go?"

The muscular man didn't answer. Instead, he strode over, grabbed the man's hair, and swung his large right hand, like a fan, to slap him hard across the face.

clap clap clap!
After the fight, the muscular guy pushed the office worker in front of the headless Buddha statue.

Song Xue was so frightened that she clung to Lu Jiuling's arm.

boom!
An office worker fell to the ground, and his glasses fell off.

"Say one more word and I'll kill you!"

The muscular man pretended to kick him: "Go now!"

The office worker learned his lesson after being ripped off, picked up his glasses, put them on, and cautiously walked toward the Buddha statue.

"Sir, if you want to leave, you still need to inspect the Buddha statue!"

The rich kid played the good cop at the right time, reassuring the office workers.

The office worker walked up to the headless Buddha statue and began to inspect it.

"You're lucky, otherwise you would be the one getting beaten up."

Song Xue patted Lu Jiuling's arm, let out a long sigh, and whispered, "Don't look him in the eye next time, that kind of person is very fierce!"

"..."

Lu Jiuling was speechless.

Are you a naive and innocent girl with a brain full of sugar frosting?
If I had listened to you and hadn't bared my teeth, I would be the one inspecting this eerie Buddha statue right now!
Where's my head?

Give me back my head!

Another roar.

The office workers seemed to have been bitten by a demon, and they staggered backward in panic.

This time everyone heard it clearly; the voice was indeed coming from the headless Buddha statue.

"What is this?"

The female office worker nervously swallowed and looked at the door again.

She couldn't wait to leave this awful place.

My head... is gone!

As the headless Buddha wailed, with a creak, the tightly closed doors of the main hall suddenly opened, as if pushed open by an invisible ghostly hand.

Without a second thought, the female office worker turned and ran out.

Her high heels clicked crisply against the ground.

Others quickly followed.

Once outside the main hall, everyone froze on the steps.

The cold moonlight shone on me, feeling as cool as if I had been touched by the hand of a dead person.

Frightened, Song Xue moved closer to Lu Jiuling and clutched his clothes tightly.

After descending the steps, you enter a large courtyard enclosed by red bricks and green tiles.

Because of years of neglect, the foxtail grass growing on the wall swayed in the wind, as if summoning the souls of the dead.

Besides the overgrown weeds, there were also Buddha heads scattered all over the courtyard.

These Buddha heads are made of bronze, stone, wood, and even expensive jade; they depict fear or weeping...

Even though they rotted on the ground and were covered in cobwebs, the expressions on each Buddha head were still incredibly lifelike, as if they were real heads that had just been chopped off, their expressions still vivid.

This scene is too eerie.

"Fuck!"

The muscleman exclaimed, feeling as if a snake had crawled across his spine, giving him goosebumps!
"What the hell is this place?"

The female office worker's voice was already trembling with sobs.

"There's a door over there!"

Song Xue pointed.

Delivery drivers and office workers had already run over.

"Come on!"

The internet celebrity with the pretty face pulled her boyfriend along. No one needed to be urged; in this eerie place, nobody wanted to stay a second longer.

Song Xue ran a few steps, then noticed the high school student hadn't kept up. She turned back anxiously and asked, "What happened to you? Did you hurt your foot?"

"Stop running around and wasting your energy; there's a good chance you won't get out!"

Lu Jiuling felt that the key to escaping this place lay on the Buddha statue.

The delivery guy is really fit; he overtook the office worker in less than ten meters and rushed to the wooden door first.

He pushed hard a few times, and with a bang, the door was pushed open.

There was another courtyard outside, also overgrown with weeds, but there was no Buddha head on the ground.

The delivery guy glanced over and, finding no danger, noticed a door on the opposite wall. He immediately stepped over the threshold, wanting to go and take a look.

But as soon as he stepped over the threshold, his head suddenly exploded with a bang, like a hot water bottle being run over by a truck tire.

Brain matter mixed with blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere.

The office worker following behind got sprayed in the face, his glasses were blurred, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He fell to the ground with a thud and kept shuffling backward with his hands and feet.

"what!"

The female office worker and the internet celebrity let out shrill screams, their faces contorted in agony.

"Shut up!"

The rich second-generation heir shouted, worried that the two women's shouting would attract something unclean.

"what?"

Song Xue gasped, covering her mouth, and instinctively turned to look at Lu Jiuling.

He was absolutely right!
"Let's go find the Buddha's head."

Lu Jiuling began to wander around the courtyard, searching for the headless Buddha's head.

Song Xue followed behind, and the thought of the delivery guy's head exploding made her gag.

The muscular man turned around and glanced at Lu Jiuling.

This kid,
That's interesting!
"It seems the key to getting out is finding the head of that strange Buddha statue in the main hall!"

The rich kid glanced at the main hall and then called out to Lu Jiuling, "Hey buddy, anything found?"

This high school student seems to be intelligent.

"no!"

Lu Jiuling replied.

"Waaaaah, what do we do now?"

The female office worker burst into tears. She hadn't expected that after leaving the main hall, she would be trapped in this courtyard filled with Buddha heads.

"What else can be done?"

The rich kid cursed irritably, "Looking for Buddha!"

Everyone got moving.

"Aren't these Buddha heads too small?"

The internet celebrity recalled the headless Buddha's body, which was over ten meters tall: "Its head must have been bigger than a bull's head!"

"Let's find something that's similar and try it out!"

The muscleman found the largest Buddha head and ordered the office worker, "Move it into the main hall!"

"Why me again?"

The office worker protested: "I was the one who did it!"

He wasn't stupid; if the Buddha head he sent didn't match, he might die.

"I think you're asking for a beating again!"

The muscular man sneered.

"It's time to let that high school student do it!"

Office workers fight for their rights: "I'll try again next time!"

"You're a useless piece of trash without any testicles, how dare you compare yourself to them?"

The muscular man mocked.

Everyone saw the wooden door and ran, but the high school student didn't, which means he had already anticipated that he couldn't escape, showing that he was smart.

What's more, even though the delivery guy's head was blown apart, he remained calm, which shows he's very brave.

Unless absolutely necessary, the muscle-bound man wouldn't get into a conflict with this kind of person, so he naturally continued to exploit this weak and easily bullied office worker.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and deliver the Buddha head!"

The internet celebrity with the face of an impatient person urged him on.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the office worker could only compromise: "I can go, but I'll find the Buddha head myself!"

"You have five minutes!"

The rich kid raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and checked the time.

……

"Do you think this one is it?"

Song Xue half-squatted down, examining a stone Buddha head.

"do not know!"

Lu Jiuling's words were concise and to the point.

"That's right, the head of the headless Buddha must have some distinctive features!"

Song Xue deduced and continued her search.

The temple was as quiet as a mass grave at midnight.

Song Xue was scared and tugged at Lu Jiuling's sleeve: "My name is Song Xue, I'm a senior in high school, what about you?"

"Lu Jiuling!"

"690?"

Upon hearing the number, Song Xue couldn't help but smile, asking, "Why did your mother give you such a name? Is there any meaning behind it?"

"Want to know?"

Lu Jiuling countered with a question.

"Uh-huh!"

Song Xue nodded quickly, waiting for Lu Jiuling to answer.

"I'll tell you when we get out!"

Lu Jiuling had no time to chat with Song Xue. He looked around and his gaze fell on the main hall. After hesitating for a few seconds, he went back.

Song Xue wanted to continue asking questions, but when she saw Lu Jiuling return to the main hall, she was startled and quickly ran a few steps to grab him.

"Don't go, it's dangerous!"
