After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

His eyes were now filled with an undisguised fear.

Beneath this deep-seated fear, however, lies a faint glimmer of hope.

The root of all this lies in the Buddha head that appeared out of nowhere in Chen Zhuo's hands!

It was a Buddha head with its eyes closed. The golden body on the surface was slightly damaged, and some parts were covered with moss, but it still could not hide its original solemnity.

From the flat cross-section of the Buddha's head at the neck, it is easy to determine that this Buddha head should be the lost head of the Buddha who is making a vow.

As the Buddha looked at the Buddha head, his voice suddenly became sharp, filled with disbelief, fear, and unease.

"This, this Buddha head...shouldn't it disappear along with the game when it ends?"

Why! Why is it in your hands! How did you even bring it out?!

Lei, who was standing to the side, turned his head and stared intently at the Buddha head in Chen Zhuo's hand, his face full of curiosity and shock.

He also wanted to know why Chen Zhuo had the strange head that had appeared just a few days ago.

Want to know what kind of game the Buddha mentioned is?

It seemed that from the moment he stepped into this palace, the course of events completely deviated from all his previous understanding.

Chen Zhuo did not answer its question. Instead, he held the Buddha's head and slowly walked towards the Buddha of Vows in the center of the hall.

His steps were slow, but with each step he took, the eerie atmosphere of the entire hall trembled.

As Chen Zhuo approached, the Buddha subconsciously shrank back, seemingly afraid of the Buddha head in Chen Zhuo's hand.

Chen Zhuo stopped when he reached the foot of the lotus platform, looked up at the seated Buddha statue, and slowly spoke.

"Don't you want to find your true head, possess a complete body, and become the true Buddha you've always dreamed of?"

Although his tone was calm, it carried an irresistible allure, exactly the same as the tone with which the Buddha had tempted him earlier.

Looking at the scene before him, Lei took a deep breath and could only smile bitterly to himself.

If he were to go back and tell the other members of the branch that the Buddha of Fulfillment, who had caused all the members of the Dachang City branch a headache all day, had actually been seduced by Chen Zhuo, probably no one would believe it.

This isn't some kind of eerie manipulation; it's clear that Chen Zhuo has this eerie creature completely under his control.

Chen Zhuo stepped onto the lotus platform step by step, getting closer and closer to the Buddha who was fulfilling his vow.

But even when he stood in front of the Buddha statue, the Buddha remained frozen in place, showing no intention of resisting.

Its gaze was fixed on the Buddha head in Chen Zhuo's hand, and the longing in its eyes grew stronger and stronger until it was almost overflowing.

It wasn't until Chen Zhuo raised his hand and handed the complete Buddha head to its neck that the Buddha suddenly came to its senses.

"Wait a minute! I almost fell for your trick!"

It reacted instantly, gathering all its eerie energy in an attempt to resist.

But it was all too late.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Zhuo unleashed an invisible, eerie aura that swept towards the Buddha of Fulfillment in an instant.

The blood-red Buddha head that had formed around the neck of the Buddha, before it could even utter a scream, suddenly dissipated into a cloud of blood mist.

The previously restless and eerie aura subsided considerably as the blood Buddha head dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhuo raised his hand and gently placed the complete Buddha head in his hand on the neck of the Buddha of Vows.

The moment the Buddha's head touched the golden body, a soft golden light quickly spread out.

The gruesome fracture on the neck healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a short while, the entire Buddha statue was as good as new.

The Buddha's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, the previous ferocity and seduction gone, leaving only peace and compassion.

It slowly lowered its head and nodded slightly to Chen Zhuo under the lotus platform, its voice gentle, filled with deep apology and gratitude.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid my evil intentions would have led to even more killings."

This humble monk feels deeply ashamed of the crimes he has committed.

Chen Zhuo nodded slightly and pointed to the two sides of the hall, where the Buddha statues of various shapes were integrated with the walls.

"It's not too late to repent now. The people you sealed inside the Buddha statue are still alive."

Upon hearing this, the Buddha immediately clasped his hands together and chanted, "Amitabha!"

Its eerie aura instantly subsided, and the eerie domain that had enveloped the entire Lotus Temple also completely dissipated at the same time.

On the stone walls on both sides of the main hall, cracks appeared on the surface of the Buddha statues, and then the golden bodies began to peel off layer by layer.

One by one, unconscious people slid out and fell onto the soft prayer mats.

Seeing this, Lei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense all day, finally settled down completely.

He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and called the team members guarding outside the temple to come in and arrange for them to evacuate the rescued victims.

"Listen up, everyone! Immediately arrange vehicles to take all these rescued people down the mountain and check their physical condition one by one!"

Just as everyone was busy evacuating, a young woman who had just woken up looked at Chen Zhuo.

She was stunned for a moment, then her face lit up with surprise, and she quickly ran towards Chen Zhuo.

"Chen Zhuo? Is it really you? Didn't you disappear? How come you're here? Are you also trapped inside the Buddha statue like me?"

As she spoke, the woman's gaze fell on Chen Zhuo's eyes, and the surprise on her face gradually turned into worry.

She opened her mouth, about to ask him what was wrong with his eyes, when Lei, the captain beside her, interrupted her.

Team Leader Lei stepped forward, blocking the woman's path, and asked with a serious expression.

"Young lady, please calm down."

"What is your name? What is your position? What is your relationship with our Consultant Chen?"

The woman paused for a moment upon hearing this, then subconsciously took a step back and nodded slightly to Captain Lei.

"Hello, my name is Lin Wan, and I am Chen Zhuo's high school classmate."

I heard he had gone missing before I graduated from high school, and I was so excited to see him now that I lost my composure.

"You saved us, didn't you? Thank you so much!"

She recalled the way Captain Lei had commanded her earlier and instinctively assumed that he had saved her, so she quickly bowed to him gratefully.

As for Chen Zhuo...

In her view, Chen Zhuo, like them, was a victim trapped in the temple by that terrifying headless Buddha statue.

They were even the first among their group to be trapped; otherwise, why would they have been missing for five years?

Lei smiled upon hearing this and waved to Lin Wan.

"Don't thank me, I don't have that ability."

Lin Wan froze upon hearing this, her face filled with confusion: "Huh? Who is that?"

Lei turned to the side and pointed at Chen Zhuo, who was standing to the side.

"He's the one who saved you all!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Zhuo and asked respectfully.

"Consultant Chen, what should we do next?"
