Chapter 673: The Shrine in the Wooden Cabinet
Chapter 673: Chapter 673: The Shrine in the Wooden Cabinet"Do you guys still remember the game background mentioned that people here often offer the best room to guests, and that best room is actually where they worship their deity?" Tian Kunwen said, "As for which specific god they worship, it’s unclear, but it’s said that the deity’s statue is placed inside a wooden cabinet."
"Has nobody opened it to take a look?" Yi Pei asked.
"Most of those who opened it disappeared," Fu Danhong said. "Two players at the guesthouse disappeared last night as well. Tian Kunwen and I went to check, and those two families had already been through three rounds of interrogation, and one had died. They refused to speak and insisted that it must be divine retribution for offending the deity."
"With this groundwork, other players also dare not open the cabinet to see what kind of deity is actually being worshipped inside."
So after
Aside from the Cannibal Player, it couldn’t be guaranteed that people in this county didn’t eat humans.
A look of disgust appeared on several players’ faces, and Yi Pei said, "I don’t think that’s likely; there are mostly old and young people here, and those of capable age are less than a tenth. Some families don’t even have a young person."
"It’s not surprising, in such a remote place with locals who keep muttering about their gods, if I were a young person, I wouldn’t want to stay either," Wei Xian said.
"I’m going back to rest," Xu Huo said, as his arm wound started acting up again and a thin sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I’ll go out after I’ve eaten," Fu Danhong folded her arms and saw the guest out.
Xu Huo turned and headed to his room, Yi Pei caught up with him and handed him a potion, smiling and saying, "You seem pretty badly injured; this is a powerful potion, it might be useful."
"Thank you," Xu Huo took it, then said, "Could I borrow your voice recorder to listen to it."
Yi Pei cheerfully handed it to him.
"Let’s go have dinner together," Wei Xian called out to her.
They all left together, and Xu Huo closed the door to his room. Only after checking the room did he start playing the recording.
As Yi Pei mentioned, regarding the religious history of Sifang Palace City, the locals couldn’t articulate a reason, and whenever asked about the deities they worshipped, they would deflect the question, apparently truly unaware.
This contrasted with the manager’s statement.
The residents avoided discussing deity worship, whereas the manager claimed their worshipped deity could protect the locals from humiliation.
Xu Huo didn’t believe that deities would be so idle and so interfering; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a knock on the door the night before.
However, no matter how the disappearances happened, they seemed to be related to religion, which is to say, related to the deity’s statue... His gaze swept across the wall carvings, and then successively shifted to the peephole on the door and the mirror in the washroom before he dialed the front desk and ordered a set of small mirrors from the manager.
