The Blue Adventures

We Will Leave Together

"You mean, he is the one who kidnapped you?" Pang Zi

Wu Xie nods

"And.. and he is the mastermind of all of this?"

Wu Xie nods again

Pang Zi, "..."

Wu Xie got curious about his reaction, "What?"

"I just got goosebump right now, if what that Mr.Octopus said is right, then we are already dealing with a monster or probably alien this whole time"

What he said is not wrong since they didn't know who he really is, or how much he has lived, but there is something that is bothering Wu Xie, 'Mr.Octopus??'

He turned around and are shocked to see what is behind him, his heart almost jumped out of his heart, there is a thing that is peeking out its head, watching them carefully as if it is afraid to disturb them

Wu Xie pointed at it "That.. that"

"It's okay.. this one is harmless" Xiao Ge said, Wu Xie look at him for a while and nodded. Wu Xie just sigh, 'Yes, how many weird things have I seen in my life, adding one would not make any difference'

"Continue on, I did suspect that he is somehow not a human at all, since he has probably lived much more longer than Xiao Ge and probably longer than your ancestors" Wu Xie said looking at Xiao Ge expression which still show nothing.

"THAT LONG? Isn't he an alien then!!" Pang Zi suddenly raise his voice, which earns a slap on the head from Wu Xie telling him to keep his voice down

"Not sure, but I think his life is somehow connected to this place, if not he will have gone out long ago" Wu Xie said

'That makes sense' Pang Zi thought

"So the heart you talking about, what is it?" Pang Zi

"He told me that when he is being sacrificed, they dug his heart and presented it into the altar, so I just guess that it must have something to do with his heart. And moreover I suspect something, do you still remember the statue that we saw back then at the chamber" Wu Xie

Pang Zi and Xiao Ge nodded

"I think that is his true face" Wu Xie said carefully, because he is still not entirely sure about this, but the probability for it to be true is also quite high, since Yu Qin already had a broken heart with his family and villagers at that time, he would possibly build this statue and makes others worship him.

"Oh.. so now he makes the people worship him?" Pang Zi makes a sarcastic remark about that

"Yes.. but the point is, there is something weird in the statue before, I never think that it is important, but thinking about it now, it might have been a clue. You remember that that statue is extending his right hand as if it is offering his hand towards them, giving mercy towards its worshipper, but thinking about it now, it must had held something before, but then it was moved somewhere safer" It is not weird for a statue of God to be extending their hand as if giving something or trying to help the weak, since it is made by the belief of the people at that time, and it has a lot of variety, there are some statue that are made like that.

"How can you come to that conclusion?!" Pang Zi

"Blood" Xiao Ge said

"Yes, I keep on thinking what is that, but now I am sure that that blood must mean.." Wu Xie becomes silent and looks at Xiao Ge weirdly

"WAIT... if you have noticed it why didn't you tell me!" Wu Xie, but Xiao Ge just flash him a look, Wu Xie becomes speechless and continued

"I thought that the design of the rooms is unique because it resembles marble patterns that are connected together, and the design was invented after the Shang Dynasty, so I said, this place must have been refurbished right? At first, I thought it is not weird since the ritual to worship God before has a long history, so having blood near the altar is not uncommon, so I didn't suspect anything, but thinking right now, the design is indeed a bit weird" It is like they might filled it with a pool of blood and let it dry, but that is also not that weird because the tradition of sacrificial back then is much crueler compare to now, they believe in superstitious being more and can do anything about their belief.
