Chapter 154 Lust
"Hi, hi, hi! Here I come!"

"Family members who haven't followed the live broadcast room, please follow us, thank you. Please cast your free popularity vote, thank you very much..."

In front of the Four-Faced Buddha statue in the town center, a young man in a dark blue checkered suit held a camera in his hand. He was calm and articulate, without any pause.

Compared to the amateur Jiang Han who broadcasts live irregularly, the eldest lady Xia Chong who has nothing to do after eating and comes to have fun and seek excitement, and Xiao Ke and Tang Xin who can make money by acting cute and flirting in front of the camera with their innate advantages, the 'Shenzhen No. 1 Affectionate', known as the Affectionate Brother, is a dedicated professional anchor.

He broadcasts regularly 366 days a year, and only takes leave during major festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year's Eve. He even skips Qingming Festival and Zhongyuan Festival. Even the exercise he insists on doing is to stay healthy and avoid taking sick leave.

Commenting on current affairs, following hot topics, doing tough jobs, taking advertisements, and even directly selling goods... As long as the money is in place, he can do anything, and nothing he does is average.

In fact, there is no need for the affectionate guy who is in the upper middle level of the industry to work so hard. His income can even be considered financial freedom for a single man, but unfortunately, the guy who has elderly parents and young children to take care of is not a single man.

A dad in hospital, a kid in school, a pregnant wife and a mom who’s crazy about buying health supplements.

…and then there is the sentence that follows: he is so broken that he doesn’t even dare to get sick.

Brother Shenqing took a deep breath and put on a sunny and cheerful professional smile: "Okay, let's look up. Do you see it? Yes, we have come to the center of this deserted town. The famous Qinzhou's first unfinished project in recorded history, the six-legged, eight-armed, four-faced Buddha, is right behind me."

Turning the camera, a bright white moon passed across the screen and finally stopped on a broad Buddha face with a round forehead. This was one of the faces of the Four-Faced Buddha, facing west.

The Buddha's face was cold and covered with dust. Years of wind and rain had made the Buddha's features gradually blurred, and his expression could not be seen clearly. There was only a deep crack extending from the corner of his left eye to the base of his ear, like a bunch of overgrown vines attached to it.

"Although I knew it was big before, I still had to get closer to see it... It's really huge."

Brother Shenqing approached the bottom of the Buddha statue. Not to mention the Four-Faced Buddha itself, even the lotus platform under the Buddha's butt was taller than him. When he looked up, he could only see the Four-Faced Buddha's dark chin - it was just after nightfall, the moon was high in the east, and the west side of the Buddha was not illuminated and was pitch black.

"Amitabha, I am just trying to make a living, please don't blame me, Buddha."

Brother Shenqing faced the Buddha statue, bowed, and then turned on a strong flashlight, shining the bright light on the four-sided Buddha statue that was as high as five or six stories, so that the audience in the live broadcast room could see it clearly.

The image of the Four-Faced Buddha, which is seated cross-legged in the center of Zanju Town, is very different from that of the Buddha in film and television dramas. It is neither as bare-chested and big-bellied as Maitreya, nor as tall and square as Sakyamuni. Instead, it is closer to the general impression of Arhat or Vajra, who is tall, mighty, and strong.

However, such a ferocious body sat quietly on the lotus platform in a calm posture that could be described as 'serene', with its six legs folded, eight arms restrained, and four Buddha faces with eyes lowered, as if in deep sleep.

Brother Shenqing thought for a moment and said, "Old viewers know that I don't believe in Buddhism. But in the month when my wife was about to give birth to her first child, I went to the famous treasure temple 'Guichen Temple' in Qinzhou to burn incense and pray for blessings. There, I saw a four-headed and eight-armed guardian deity statue.

Just like this four-faced Buddha, it has four faces and eight hands.

However, the appearance of that guardian deity is completely different from this Four-Faced Buddha.

The four faces of the guardian gods were all ferocious, with fangs, as if they were ready to eat people. Each of their eight hands held eight different instruments: vajra, sword, etc. They were not as peaceful and kind as the four-faced Buddha in front of me.

After Brother Shenqing finished speaking, he glanced at the four-faced Buddha statue illuminated by the strong flashlight.

The clothes on the Buddha's body are extremely gorgeous, with carved scales and feathers, and embellished with jade and gold. The craftsmen of Zanju Town have fully displayed their exquisite skills on this huge stone, and have tirelessly piled up all kinds of exquisite, complicated and gorgeous techniques on it, making the entire Buddha statue magnificent.

It is obviously just a stone, not coated with gold, but it gives people a feeling of "golden and magnificent" and "majestic", like a palace.

"How can I describe this feeling? It's like a girl who has put on careful makeup, put on a costly wedding dress, and then put on an exquisite and beautiful fur coat, and wrapped herself in an evening dress decorated with sequins, wrapping herself up like a dumpling... all ten fingers are covered with rings, a pile of earrings weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms have stretched her earlobes very long, and her upper and lower lips are studded with two rows of sparkling lip studs..."

Deeply affectionate brother murmured to himself:

“It’s gorgeous, it’s stunning, but it’s also… weird.”

Gorgeous, extremely gorgeous.

Exquisite, exquisite to the extreme.

"Oh, sorry, I lost my composure a bit." Deep Affectionate Brother quickly recovered from his strange absent-minded state and showed a professional and hearty smile to the camera:

"The view from here is not good. I'll go find a building that I can go up to and show you the full view of the Buddha statue, as well as the north side without the facial features."

As he spoke, Brother Shenqing took the equipment and left the lotus platform at the feet of the Four-Faced Buddha, walked across the small bridge and went towards the house - the Four-Faced Buddha was located in the center of a large dry pool, with four bridges leading to the outside. Brother Shenqing didn't know why the craftsmen in Zanju Town built this pool, perhaps to facilitate the disposal of construction waste?
But now the pool is dry, and there is a deep pit full of gravel underneath. If you fall in, you will probably be in trouble, so you have to be careful when crossing the bridge.

After walking down the small bridge, Brother Shenqing walked around the open space where the Four-Faced Buddha was located and found a well-preserved red brick building. The frame of this building was cast with reinforced concrete, which was much stronger than the old houses with civil structures in the town.

“We should be able to go up here.”

Brother Shenqing pushed open the rusty iron door and shone a strong flashlight on the stairs inside the house. They were also made of concrete and there were no obvious signs of aging, so they were safe to walk on.

Reassured, Brother Shenqing slowly walked into the brick building under the watchful eye of the Four-Faced Buddha behind him.

The building was dark and empty. When I shone the flashlight I could see the wall directly. It was just an empty room. It seemed that the owner had moved away all the furniture and other belongings when he moved.

...But the quartz clock on the wall was not taken down and was still hanging there, and the hands had stopped long ago.

Brother Shenqing walked into the room with a flashlight. The room was filled with a dry, sour, and musty smell. To be cautious, he did not hold the handrail, but walked up the stairs from the side close to the wall.

He was wearing leather shoes today, which matched his suit perfectly. The hard soles of his shoes knocked on the tiled stairs, making a crisp clicking sound.

The first floor, the second floor, Brother Shenqing went all the way up. It seemed that the live broadcast room was also affected by the quiet atmosphere in the room, and there were fewer barrages.

The night in the deserted town was very quiet, so quiet that the only sound one could hear was one's own breathing, which was suppressed by the clattering sound of footsteps, making it hard to breathe.

"Da-da-da."

Suddenly, a crisp sound broke into his eardrums and echoed in the empty building. Brother Shenqing suddenly opened his eyes wide and his pupils contracted.

Is there anyone upstairs?!
"Da-da-da."

The sound became closer and louder, and this time it was clearly heard. Someone was coming down the stairs from upstairs.

Brother Shenqing subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away. In principle, he really didn't believe in any monsters or demons, but at this time, principles could be changed.

Just as he took a step, a pink light suddenly flashed across the phone screen. Someone rewarded him with a 'Dream Park'.

This is the second most valuable gift on the live streaming platform. The first one used to be a rocket. Later, with the development of the live streaming industry, more expensive gifts came into being. A "dream park" is worth 1314521 yuan. The message from the rewarder is: "Don't be scared, go up and take a look!"

The affectionate brother hesitated.

Then, the second fantasy amusement park appeared on the screen.

'Money is not an issue, understand?'

"...The boss is awesome!"

Brother Shenqing didn't even have time to look at the boss's name. He turned around and walked upstairs.

"Da-da-da-da--"

The crisp footsteps were getting closer and closer. Looking at the small patch of light in front of him illuminated by the strong flashlight, Brother Shenqing felt a chill on his back. Even the dry and musty smell that permeated the dark building became stronger and more pungent.

Is it an illusion?

Turning the corner of the stairs, the crisp footsteps stopped abruptly. The door on the roof was open. The cold moonlight was cut into a square shape by the door frame, casting a slender shadow on the stairs.

Brother Shenqing looked up and saw a pair of white stockings that were tight on his flesh.

"Xiao Ke? Why are you here?" Brother Shenqing's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, it was just a false alarm.

The person standing upstairs was the anchor who had gone with him into Zanju Town for the adventure. His online name was 'Xiao Ke Can't Sleep Enough'.

Xiao Ke didn't say anything. She lowered her head and smiled sweetly at Brother Shenqing. She walked down the stairs with a light step, bringing a gust of sweet fragrance.

"Where's your phone? Aren't you live streaming?" Brother Shenqing felt a little surprised when he saw Xiao Ke walking towards him with empty hands.

But Xiao Ke had no intention of answering his doubts. A sweet smile still hung on her delicately made-up face. She took two steps at a time and threw herself into the arms of her affectionate brother like a young swallow returning to its nest.

"Oh my god." Brother Shenqing almost couldn't hold his phone.

Xiao Ke has a slim figure and is not tall, but she is plump where she should be. Her soft touch feels like a plush doll filled with cotton in his arms, so soft that this old married man's scalp numbs.

"You, what are you doing!..."

Brother Shenqing hurriedly blocked the camera with his hands, his mind in a state of panic.

He didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. He held the flashlight in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, and both hands were raised high for fear of placing them in places where they shouldn't be. This is the excellent risk avoidance awareness of a mature man.

However, his tolerance was met with the other party's further advances. A slippery touch came from his chest. It was Xiao Ke kissing his collarbone. A soft little tongue slid up along his neck, and teeth gently bit his earlobe.

The affectionate brother felt his whole body soften and he no longer cared about all these things. He lowered his hands that were raised high and pushed her away with all his strength.

"What are you crazy about!" Brother Shenqing yelled.

He was not a virgin who would be carried away by a romantic encounter, and he was very alert to schemes like honey traps. The fellow anchor's insane throwing himself at him brought him not excitement or thrills, but fear.

It's still being broadcast live now. If the camera hadn't been blocked just now, he couldn't imagine what would have happened.

My eldest son is still in school, my father is still in the hospital, my wife is pregnant with our second child, and the mortgage on the school district house has not been paid off yet... Any problem in my work would be a burden that this family cannot bear.

But Xiao Ke didn't seem to care whether he could bear it or not.

Xiao Ke, who was pushed away, turned a deaf ear to the affectionate brother's roar. Her face still had a sweet smile that seemed to melt even honey. Her small clove tongue licked her wet lips lightly, and her two small hands hugged the man in front of her again.

"Come on..." A soft voice came from her throat.

"What the hell are you doing!" Brother Shenqing was so angry that he didn't dare to let go of his hand that was covering the camera.

Looking at the woman getting closer and closer, he could already imagine what a miserable scene was going on in the live broadcast room.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

The affectionate brother took two steps back, his back pressed against the wall. The crazy Xiao Ke followed him like a snake, her soft body pressed against his chest and abdomen, not caring about the intimate contact of sensitive parts.

"Come on..." The gentle voice floated softly in the stairwell, as if carrying some unspeakable magic that made people feel weak and numb.

The affectionate, chauvinistic man was very resistant to hitting a woman, and he subconsciously wanted to run away, but the girl's arms were already tightly wrapped around his waist.

Those hands were so slender and soft, and to a healthy adult man they seemed so thin that they could be torn apart with a single pull. But at this moment, when they were wrapped around the affectionate brother's waist, they were as hard as two twisted steel bars.

Hard and cold.

...cold.

The familiar wet touch slid from his chin to his mouth. Xiao Ke stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips. Suddenly, Brother Shenqing's mind went blank.

What shocked him so much was not how erotic the wet kiss with Xiao Ke was, but her body temperature.

She had no temperature.

The girl's body was soft and cold, like a piece of silicone that had been refrigerated in a refrigerator. She stuck to his body softly, and a seductive voice floated out from her lifeless mouth: "Come on..."

Brother Shenqing’s whole body was stiff, he raised his head stiffly, and the moonlight without a trace of warmth filled his face.

Through the open door at the top of the stairs, he saw a huge, shadowy face, with eyes downcast and mouth relaxed, and a deep crack extending from the corner of His eye to the base of His ear.

The Four-Faced Buddha sat quietly in the middle of the dried-up pool, looking at a man standing stiffly in the stairwell without saying a word.
