Chapter 633 Hands and Eyes Imagery
This news spread widely in Inazuma, and people were filled with both awe and a hint of fear towards the statue.
Paimeng turned to look at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, what do you think? Should we go?" As for running more, Kong always ran as little as possible, so he gave the decision to the lazy Lin Feng. Paimeng knew that Lin Feng was usually more casual, and perhaps his decision would be more in line with everyone's wishes. There was a hint of inquiry and expectation in her eyes, hoping that Lin Feng could give a reasonable answer.
Lin Feng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He pondered over the various rumors about this "Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue". It was said that this statue was built by the Inazuma Shogunate to demonstrate the authority of the Raiden Shogun. Every eye of God built into it represented the disappearance of a power and the shattering of a dream.
After a while, he raised his head, his eyes sparkling with excitement, like two bright stars. He nodded vigorously, his tone full of anticipation, and said, "Let's go and have a look. I'm also curious about what a statue more important than Princess Egret looks like." As he spoke, he rubbed his hands unconsciously, looking eager to try, as if he was about to step into an unknown mysterious treasure world and explore the endless mysteries hidden in the depths.
Hearing Lin Feng's words and looking at his impatient expression, Kong shook his head helplessly. He had been looking forward to not having to go, but now his plan was completely ruined, so he could only go with them. He sighed secretly, thinking silently in his heart, who knows what new situation he will encounter on this trip. Every time he encounters such a new thing, it is always accompanied by various unexpected troubles, but looking at the expectant eyes of Lin Feng and Paimon, he couldn't refuse.
After reaching a consensus, the three of them, led by Thomas, walked towards the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue. Along the way, the buildings on both sides of the street were unique and full of the rich traditional charm of Inazuma. The wooden houses were arranged in an orderly manner, as if they were a perfect fusion of nature and human wisdom. The red lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight and pleasant sound, as if telling an ancient story.
Pedestrians came and went on the road, their steps hurried, their expressions showing a sense of busyness and fatigue. Occasionally, someone cast a curious look at these unfamiliar faces, their eyes full of doubts and inquiry. These looks made Kong and his friends feel their uniqueness as strangers, and also made them more curious about every detail of this mysterious country.
As they gradually approached the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue, the atmosphere around them began to become a little strange. The originally bustling streets gradually became quiet, as if time had slowed down here. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and only the footsteps of a few of them echoed in the empty streets. An invisible sense of oppression filled the air, like a heavy dark cloud, making people breathless, as if a pair of invisible eyes were silently watching them in the darkness, making their every move invisible.
After arriving at the location, the three of them were all stunned, with pure amazement on their faces. The Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed statue in front of them was too magnificent and beyond their imagination. It stood in an open square, dozens of feet high, like a towering mountain, reaching into the sky. The main body of the statue was made up of huge stones, and each stone seemed to have been carefully carved over the years, and was carved very finely, showing a superb level of craftsmanship.
The thousand hands are in different poses and lifelike. Some stretch forward, as if welcoming visitors from afar, or embracing the whole world; some clench their fists and hang down, as if they contain endless power, as if ready to burst out at any time to defend this land. The hundred eyes are embedded in various parts of the statue, emitting a mysterious and cold light, like the cold stars twinkling in the deep night sky, which makes people shudder.
Moreover, there are a large number of God's Eyes on it. They are densely distributed all over the statue, but because the statue is too large, those God's Eyes cannot be recognized without careful observation. They are like decorations, cleverly integrated into the overall structure of the statue.
Paimeng floated in front of the statue and suddenly shuddered. She hugged herself tightly and said in a trembling voice, "There is a solemn atmosphere around this statue... Most people won't come here." The atmosphere around the Thousand-Handed Hundred-Eyed Statue is too solemn, especially the oppressive feeling brought by the huge statue, which makes people breathless, as if there is an invisible force warning people not to approach easily. Most people probably don't even bother to come here, and this oppressive atmosphere makes people feel afraid.
After saying this, Paimon noticed the colorful decorations on the statue, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar it looked. She frowned, trying to recall, and constantly searching for related memories in her mind. "Hey, if you look closely... these are all..." Before Paimon could say her guess, Thomas directly confirmed it for her, "The Eye of God."
Paimon's first reaction after hearing Thomas' words was disbelief. She opened her eyes wide, her eyes opened as big as copper bells, rubbed them uncertainly, and took another careful look, as if she wanted to see through the statue. Then she pointed at the eyes of God on the statue in shock and said, "Eyes of God! What did you say? All those on the statue were confiscated because of the Eye Hunting Order?" It's no wonder Paimon was so surprised, because there were too many eyes of God. In Teyvat, the eyes of God have always been a rare thing. Each eye of God represents a person's special ability and dream. Seeing so many eyes of God at once, even Lin Feng's emotions fluctuated a little.
Lin Feng frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he became more and more curious about the story behind the Eye Hunting Order and the statue. He stared at the eyes of God, as if he wanted to see the truth behind them. How many people's dreams and hopes did these eyes of God carry, and why were they confiscated here and became part of the statue?
When Thomas heard Paimon say the name of the Eye Hunting Order, he nodded and showed an expression of "as expected", "You have indeed heard about the Eye Hunting Order." His eyes revealed a hint of complex emotions, including his expectation that they knew about this, as well as his helplessness and worry about the Eye Hunting Order itself.
Kong was very curious about the issuance of the Eye Hunting Order. The Eye of God was an important thing that could enhance a country's combat power and played a vital role in the development and defense of each country.
