Chapter 0385: Can’t Really Cry!
With the Skull Crushing Hammer in hand, Chen Ge walked up to the statue as he looked into the statue’s eyes and asked the first question.
”You are able to verify the truth of each of my next words, right?” Chen Ge’s question wasn’t particularly challenging, and he wasn’t going to make things difficult for the statue.
Stopping in front of the statue, he waited for half a minute, and the statue still didn’t have any reaction.
”What’s going on? Why isn’t it shedding any tears?” Chen Ge turned back to look at Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian, and both girls were startled when they realized that Chen Ge had turned around.
”It can’t be! We just tried it, there’s no problem with this sculpture.”
They were underground, surrounded by darkness, and the only bright light came from their cell phones.
Ma Ying wanted to see the situation on the sculpture’s side clearly and held up the phone with one hand, but just as the bright light shone on the sculpture, she seemed to suddenly realize something and violently pressed the bright light of the phone down again.
She anxiously apologized to Chen Ge, “I understand your rules, I didn’t see your face, I don’t know what you look like, I didn’t see anything! And I won’t tell anything about this place!”
The line of sight was frozen on the bloody and hideous murder weapon, and Ma Ying couldn’t wait to throw her cell phone away.
People were the chopping board for the knife, and I was the fish, she was worried that she would be silenced by Chen Ge because she knew too much.
In the underground corpse transportation passageway at around two in the morning, first she bumped into a ghost, then she was chased by a group of monsters bouncing like fish, and finally she encountered this terrifying man. The series of fatal blows had completely stunned Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian, their minds were blank, and now they just wanted to get back to the surface as quickly as possible.
”Exterminate?” Chen Ge switched sides for a moment, “Your worries are not unreasonable.”
Hearing his words, the two girls almost cried out.
”Alright, I don’t mean to blame you guys.”
Chen Ge resumed standing in front of the statue again, he had Yin pupils and was able to clearly see the blood traces left in the corners of the statue’s eyes, “Was the question I just asked too difficult?”
While he was studying the statue, Liu Xianxian, who was hiding behind Ma Ying, slowly calmed down, as she listened to Chen Ge’s voice, she vaguely felt that it was a bit familiar, and resembled a person she remembered.
”Impossible, how could he appear in an underground corpse transportation channel at two in the morning? It should be a case of mistaken identity.”
Chen Ge didn’t bother with the two girls and walked around the sculpture with the skull crushing hammer, “It seems like there is a stench coming from the sculpture, I really want to open it up and take a look.”
He stood in front of the sculpture once again, “I’ll try a simpler question this time, I hope you can think clearly before answering.”
Chen Ge pressed the repeater switch and raised the skull crushing hammer in his hand, “Do you believe I can smash you to pieces in less than a minute? If you don’t believe me, then I’ll try it now.”
Rustling electric currents sounded in Chen Ge’s backpack, and only a few seconds passed before two lines of blood and tears flowed out of the statue’s eyes.
”Looks like the legend is true.” Chen Ge smiled with satisfaction.
Hearing his laughter, the two girls behind him both winced as they looked at the statue in the darkness that was cornered by Chen Ge, and for no apparent reason, a trace of sympathy arose.
”The Pen Fairy can foretell the future, but it’s only fifty percent accurate, this sculpture is able to judge the truth or falsity of a sentence, if I combine it with the Pen Fairy’s ability, then won’t I be able to get one hundred percent accurate information?” Chen Ge hit on the idea of this sculpture, “Carrying it out like this definitely won’t work, letting those two girls help carry it will be hard enough, put it here for now.”
Tears of blood hanging on his face, the sculpture looked somewhat pitiful.
Only after Chen Ge turned off the repeater did it stop shedding tears.
”Tonight isn’t exactly unproductive.” Chen Ge turned around and shouted at the two girls, “In your school’s weird story about the sculpture, is there a limit to the number of questions?”
”Number of questions?” Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian thought Chen Ge was ready to leave, who knew he would ask such a question, “It seems like there isn’t.”
”No limit on the number of times?” Chen Ge came into the spirit, the sculpture had been staying underground, so he must know this place well.
He put away the skull crushing hammer, and as if he had a clear conscience, he very gently wiped away the tear tracks on the sculpture’s face.
”Alright, now I’ll ask you the second question.” Chen Ge looked at the sculpture’s ugly face, “The monster that was hidden in this room before came from the underground corpse vault, right?”
A few seconds later, blood-red tears flowed from the corners of the sculpture’s eyes.
”Very well, the third question, there are people or other monsters even more terrifying than me in the underground corpse vault, right?”
The blood tears didn’t stop, and the scene made both girls cover their eyes in misery.
”Fourth question, someone is secretly helping those monsters in the underground corpse vault, right?”
The sculpture’s tears seemed to have run out, and its strong desire to survive caused it to squeeze them outward a little.
”It seems that my previous guess was good, this underground corpse vault is not simple.” Chen Ge was also clear that the sculpture was about to die and asked one last question.
”Think clearly before answering, this last question is crucial.” Chen Ge slowly spoke, “The president of the Weird Talk Association is the Yan team of the city precinct, right?”
It seemed that the words Weird Talk Association had a special meaning to the sculpture, after hearing these four words, the stench on its body instantly disappeared, as if the spirit on the sculpture dissipated.
”Can’t say? Could it be that this sculpture was placed here by the Weird Talk Association? The underground corpse vault is also related to the Weird Talk Association?” Chen Ge came closer, and he ran his fingers across the sculpture’s eye sockets, where the last drop of blood and tears that were about to flow out remained.
”It seems that Team Yan and the Weird Talk Association really don’t have anything to do with each other.” Chen Ge touched the sculpture’s head, “It’s been hard, but I have to give you a heads up, the members of the Weird Talks Association have lost their humanity, it’s dangerous for you to follow them, it’s better to abandon the darkness and let me protect you in the future.”
The statue was unresponsive, and Chen Ge didn’t force it, he tried to lower the statue to the ground.
Looking in from the base, the statue was hollow.
”The Pen Fairy is able to foresee because there is a stern ghost hosted on it, and this statue appearing abnormal should be related to the ghost as well.”
Chen Ge put his hand inside the statue, “There’s a lot of space, I originally thought that a corpse would be hidden inside the statue. No, there must be something wrong with this statue for it to be hosted by ghosts and monsters, and although there is no corpse inside, that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t contained a corpse before.”
He was talking to himself, not even considering the feelings of the others present.
Beside them, Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian were now panicking in their hearts, they felt that the man in front of them was picking out a place to hide the corpses.
”Tonight’s harvest is already great, let’s leave first.” Chen Ge stood up and helped the statue up, “The statue said that there are people even more terrifying than me in the underground corpse vault, so with my current strength, it shouldn’t be enough to complete that three-star trial mission.”
