Chapter 323 Mirror Lake Shrine

Chapter 323 Mirror Lake Shrine
"The blood rain carries a curse, but fortunately, this curse doesn't seem to be activated directly."

Lin Qiqi stretched her hand outside the umbrella, and there were a few drops of blood on her fingers.

The blood-colored water was particularly obvious on the white fingers.

"Even if there is no contact, will I still be cursed?" An Zhiyan asked.

At this time, she was a little envious of Lin Qiqi's career card.

[Soul Peeper] is really convenient, especially in this kind of scene with "yin and yang" attributes, Soul Peeper has a great advantage.

"If you don't get stained by the blood rain, you won't get stained by the curse." Lin Qiqi said.

"Then you..." An Zhiyan was stunned, then she reacted: "I see, one of the four of us needs to investigate the curse here, and you are the most suitable one."

Luo Xi didn't say anything. He saw that there seemed to be a lake not far away.

Fatty Qian didn't say anything either, mainly because he felt that none of the other three, except him, were easy to deal with.

At this moment, he felt like a weak chicken among a group of ferocious beasts.

They all held umbrellas to prevent the blood rain from touching their skin, but Lin Qiqi knew there was a curse and yet still took the initiative to get contaminated.

This mode of thinking obviously does not take 'seeking benefits and avoiding harm' into consideration.

On the contrary, this is more like a reasonable team mentality that requires someone to "sacrifice". After all, being cursed may not be a bad thing sometimes, and it may even be a necessary condition for triggering key plots in certain scenes. It is not beneficial to individuals, but beneficial to the team.

But it is rare to find someone who can keep his expression calm and not feel nervous.

"Seventh Brother is Seventh Brother, so awesome. I, Fatty, am convinced." Fatty Qian gave Lin Qiqi a thumbs up in his heart.

"The lake ahead should be the 'suicide lake' that Mao Ge and Ke Lan mentioned. It's a very dangerous place. Their advice is not to get close to it, let alone try to see what's in the lake."

At this time, Fatty Qian pointed to the lake over there and said something.

The lake in the forest park should be a tourist attraction, but because Liu Mao and his friends have been here twice, they had already told Fatty Qian about the dangerous spots and places where accidents are likely to happen in the form of a guide.

"You wait here!" This time it was An Zhiyan who spoke. She walked over with an umbrella. She had a good figure and holding the umbrella, she had an intellectual beauty, and her stern face could easily make people want to conquer her.

Her behavior is like "knowingly going there is a tiger."

She walked over, looked at the lake, then squatted down and stared at the lake motionlessly.

It seemed that there was really something in the water that attracted her attention.

Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi waited quietly.

No intention to interfere.

Fatty Qian was extremely anxious.

He felt that something was going to happen. Both Mao Ge and Ke Lan told him not to get close to the lake because it was dangerous. However, since what happened was different every time he got close to the lake, the strategy Ke Lan gave was not particularly accurate.

But knowing the danger, Luo Ju didn't try to stop An Zhiyan?

Do you have confidence in Annie?

Or, do you have a grudge against her and wish her death?
Two full minutes.

An Zhiyan was holding an umbrella, squatting by the lake, looking in motionlessly. Several times, Fatty Qian felt that she might dive into the water in the next second.

Finally, An Zhiyan moved, but she didn't fall into the water. Instead, she stood up and walked back.

His expression remained grim.

Needless to say, the more Fatty Qian looked at her, the more he felt that she was very similar to Luo Xi.

The look in their eyes is exactly the same as if they were printed from the same mold.

"The water in the lake is like a mirror, it can reflect what a person fears, but it is more like some kind of 'memory peeping' ability. For example, you will see someone you want to see, or something you fear, and the other person will lure you to jump in. In addition, there seem to be corpses in it. I guess once you fall into the water, you will be immediately pulled to the bottom of the lake. Maybe, if you are contaminated by the bloody curse, you will see other things, but I'm not sure."

There was a hint of disdain in An Zhiyan's tone.

It's like a college student looking at a first grade math problem.

I think it's childish and I don't want to bother with it.

"Also, I made another discovery. There is a platform over there, and there seems to be something hidden underneath."

"Let's go and take a look together." Luo Xi walked over.

According to what An Zhiyan said, there was indeed a wooden platform next to it with stairs that led up to a hill with higher terrain. It was the highest point here, and there was indeed something under the platform and the stairs.

A shrine.

It was made of wood. From the outside, it looked old and had obvious signs of aging. The base color was slightly red, probably some kind of mahogany. The shrine had a palm-sized, delicate wooden door that was tightly closed.

Can't open.

There was an incense altar in front, the size of a bowl, filled with ashes from burnt incense.

There were also dry, unused incense sticks and matches next to them.

Obviously, you can light the incense with a match, and then burn incense towards the shrine.
"This is the shrine in the park. Ke Lan said that there are many shrines in Shuhai Park. Each one is like opening a blind box. You can choose not to burn incense. After burning incense, you may find a shrine with different attributes, some good and some bad. Some can add good fortune, some will bring bad luck, some can get protection talismans, some will be immediately attacked by curses, and there are crisis warnings that need to be interpreted. It may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing, or it may be half good and half bad."

Fatty Qian said something at this time.

"In other words, it is a prop in the scene that can be chosen to be used or not. But there is an element of gambling. Did Ke Lan say whether the attributes of the shrine are fixed or random?" Luo Xi asked.

"It's fixed, and Ke Lan told me the locations of several good shrines and bad shrines, but he didn't tell me about the shrine here. He probably hasn't found it before!" Fatty Qian knew that this possibility was very high, because the location of this shrine was indeed hidden very deeply.

If An Zhiyan hadn't been so meticulous, she might not have noticed it.

"Let me try." Lin Qiqi prepared to step forward.

This time Luo Xi waved his hand to stop him. He picked up a match, struck it, took an incense stick, lit it, and shook it out with his hand instead of blowing it out with his mouth. He used his left hand to hold the incense stick.
Fatty Qian wants to speak.

Because according to his understanding and knowledge, this is not the way to burn incense.

Generally, three incense sticks are required, and both hands are needed to burn the incense.

Luo Xi's behavior feels disrespectful.

But on second thought, since Luo Ju was in charge, it would be better for him not to give blind orders. Besides, Luo Ju was knowledgeable, so how could he not know the routine of burning incense.

So, nine times out of ten it was intentional.

As the incense was inserted into the incense altar, the small door on the shrine creaked open.

It was pitch black inside.

"Luo Ju, be careful. Ke Lan said that if there is something like a black hole in the shrine, it is a curse."

Before Fatty Qian finished his words, Luo Xi saw a pale hand reaching out from the shrine.

He was very curious, because the hands continued to stretch out, one, two, and then the hair, as if a person was crawling out of the narrow shrine. But this matter itself was outrageous, the shrine was only 60 to 70 centimeters high, and there were hollows and external structures. In fact, there was only about 30 centimeters high, 10 centimeters wide and deep space inside, no matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for a person to be hidden.

But at this moment, a woman with jet-black hair really crawled out half of her body.

What’s even more interesting is that Fatty Qian and the others seem unable to see this woman.

"What did you see?" Luo Xi needed to confirm.

"What?" Fatty Qian was stunned, while Lin Qiqi and An Zhiyan both shook their heads.

really.

Luo Xi looked at the pale woman, or rather female ghost, wearing a bloodstained dress who was about to crawl out, and smiled.

"Is this the curse? I'm the only one who can see it, so that means this thing will only haunt me." Luo Xi roughly understood the meaning of the curse. He asked Fatty Qian to tell him about the information of the 'Curse Shrine', and Fatty Qian quickly repeated what Ke Lan and the others had discovered.

"If the cursed shrine is revealed after burning incense, you won't die immediately, but your life will enter a countdown. It is said that this thing will slowly possess the target. This process may take an hour or two. When the time is up, the target possessed by the curse will immediately commit suicide." Fatty Qian took a deep breath and said, "Luo Ju, you, you should have a way to resolve it, right?"

"We don't know yet, but even if there is, it must exist in this scene. Otherwise, if using cards like [Remove Curse] works, Ke Lan and the others would have explained it, because they must have tried it and it didn't work, and someone was cursed and couldn't get rid of it, so he committed suicide in the end."

Luo Xi thought of something very similar.

The 'suicide bug' in Tuntun Primary School.

In Luo Xi's opinion, both should be similar things, but the "curse" in this scene is not only visible to the possessed, but also makes normal people feel fear.

Apart from anything else, just the appearance of this guy, every detail touches the fear point of normal humans.

Unfortunately, Luo Xi, who possesses [absolute rationality], can easily suppress all negative emotions and desires. Things like fear, greed, face, and shame, which are meaningless to him, have long been discarded.

"So, the Grudge is just another form of the [Suicide Bug], which looks more scary. But the characteristic of the suicide bug is that it triggers death regularly, and there is no solution." After Luo Xi thought of this, he knew he had to hurry up.

"Someone is coming!" An Zhiyan made a gesture and pointed in a direction. Soon, footsteps were heard from that direction.

"This scene is really weird. Brother, we didn't make any preparations before, and we didn't get any information about this place. We just came in suddenly. Isn't it too hasty?"

"You coward, what are you afraid of? Each of us has a [Memory] as a backup. Even if we die, we can keep our memories on the next cycle day. And don't forget, I fought for you to get the [Memory]. You must help me with this. All of us didn't become amnesiacs because of Xiuling. Now Xiuling is in trouble. If you don't help her, are you still a human being?"

"Brother, you are right. However, this place is indeed quite scary. Hey, look, the surface of the lake is so smooth, just like a mirror. Hey? What is in this water?"

A few seconds later, there was a sudden splash and the sound of someone falling into the water was heard.
