Chapter 36 Who Is Staring at Me

The interior of the temple is connected to the outside world.

The crooked roof is full of mottled traces of decay, some stones in the corners have cracked into pieces, the paint on the door has peeled off, and some tiles on the roof have fallen off, with fragments of light shining in.

As soon as you enter the temple, the dim scene, the fireflies of rotten wood blown in by the wind flicker faintly, exuding a smell of decay in Huicheng. The ground is full of slates eroded by corrosion and wind ash, and it smells more like a rough piece of land than a temple.

After Chen Shu entered, he did not see the old Buddha statue, but on the altar covered with dust, there was a clay statue of a cat - it was a real cat, with an elegant body and a slender figure. The clay sculpture was made so beautifully that you could see the smoothness of its hair.

A pair of cat eyes seemed to come alive, and it was unclear what color it was, but when you looked straight at it, it seemed that it was also staring at you.

It can only be described as lifelike.

The interior of the temple was full of dust, mottled and decadent atmosphere, as if it was abandoned and forgotten at the end of time, with no one to inherit it, and only the years quietly passed.

It seems that no matter what kind of place it is, as long as it is in the temple, people will subconsciously quiet down.

Especially after the arrival of the divine era, temples and Taoist temples seem to have naturally brought a bit of heavy divinity, so ordinary people will not roll around in such places at all.

The team of more than 70 people basically kept quiet at this time.

It’s also strange to say that this temple doesn’t look big from the outside, but when you get inside, although it’s dilapidated, it looks much more spacious.

I don’t know if it’s because of this thing itself, or if it has awakened some strange properties.

"According to speculation, this relic is a temple built specifically for cats in ancient times."

"It's just that the ruins are incomplete, so we can't know more about the truth for the time being."

Chen Shu suddenly had many ideas about cats in his mind:

"Cats are given different status and symbolic meanings in different cultures and different periods. In ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped as gods, regarded as patron saints and protectors. People often mummified dead cats for worship while respecting and loving cats."

"In the ancient Roman Empire and medieval Europe, cats were regarded as the embodiment of evil and demons. Because their black fur was regarded as an ominous sign, they were persecuted, slaughtered, and even burned."

"In the ancient times of China, rat infestation was a common problem in farmers' production, and cats, as mouse catchers, helped solve this problem to a certain extent. Therefore, cats were considered useful "labor forces" in rural communities in some areas."

However, building a temple for a cat is a bit ridiculous no matter how you think about it.

It can only be attributed to the fact that anything can happen in the ruins.

But Chen Shu, who was standing quietly by the side, felt a strange feeling in his heart that became stronger and stronger - he had a strong premonition.

Someone was looking at him.

As a far-sighted person, he was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes, and this feeling would never be wrong.

He just looked around in this slightly empty temple, and his perspective ability was almost at its limit, but he did not find the source of this gaze.

Until he looked at the clay sculpture on the altar.

For the first time, Chen Shu encountered an object that his eyesight could not penetrate, as if he was facing a ball of invisible and intangible air. Even if Chen Shu tried to use his eyesight to the extreme, his current eyesight was far from being able to observe the world with molecular weight, and he failed in the end.

It was like an illusion.

Chen Shu seemed to see a flash of humanistic mockery in the eyes of the clay cat, as if it was mocking Chen Shu's overestimation of his own abilities.

No, it's not an illusion!

Gods don't have illusions!

At least as a far-sighted deity, Chen Shu did not think that he would have illusions when seeing something with his own eyes.

So, this thing is alive? !

Deity?

Evil spirit?

Warcraft?

Chen Shu analyzed it frantically in his mind, but he could not get the answer. He was just secretly shocked, but his face did not show any abnormality. Instead, he turned his eyes to other places.

No matter what this thing is.

Chen Shu knew that he could not deal with it for the time being.

Just thinking about the years this guy has lived, you can know that it is not easy to deal with.

So, it is better not to mess around. If it makes a big news, it will be too bad.

But.

The more Chen Shu did not look at Him, the more excessive his gaze became. No matter where he stood, he could feel the obvious gaze.

Chen Shu: You are pestering me, right?

But he now has a more strange thought in his mind, that is, why did no one find it before?

For more powerful divine masters, it is not difficult to sense this kind of gaze.

If it was really sensed, this ultra-small ruins should not be rated this low.

It can't be because of the appearance, right?

Or is it because I am a god?

The following time.

Chen Shu completely experienced what it meant to be on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, and like a fishbone stuck in the throat.

Fortunately, until they left the temple, nothing unusual happened, which also made Chen Shu breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked back at the temple with lingering fear. At this time, he only felt that this so-called hill was more and more like a tomb.

"I won't come again."

He thought secretly in his heart.

He returned along the original route.

Still nothing unusual happened.

The ruins were always in daylight, regardless of day or night. No matter how curious you are, you will be exhausted in fatigue and monotony. On the way back, the crowd was silent for a long time.

Even many teenagers were disappointed. The "exploration" they had imagined in their hearts turned into a spring outing in the end.

However, until they were about to leave the ruins.

Something went wrong.

"Daju..."

"My Daju is gone!"

In the crowd, a girl from another class cried.

Daju was a pet cat she raised. It looked overgrown and fat. She brought it with her because she heard that it was a ruin with the name "Wanmao Temple".

But she didn't know when it got lost.

When she asked her, she couldn't remember it clearly. She just remembered that she had been holding it in her arms.

For a pet cat, of course, it was impossible to go to the trouble of looking for it. Besides, the pet cat was in such an environment. I'm afraid it would be in danger.

In the end, it delayed the crowd for three or four minutes, and they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Looking at the girl crying and several girls around her comforting her, Chen Shu just felt noisy.

He even wanted to go up and give her a big fight.

Because.

He looked at the "lost" fat orange cat, which was standing at her feet with its head tilted, and its cat eyes were staring at him with a strange meaning.

However, no one saw it.
