Chapter 2 Exorcism
The wooden door that I had been leaning against before disappeared without knowing it, and was replaced by a green wall!
Jiang You stepped forward in panic and beat him with his fists. The cold wall became extremely hard.
"I knew it wasn't that simple!"
At this moment, his arm felt a twinge of pain. He lowered his head and pulled up his sleeve. The blood countdown on his left arm was about to return to zero.
"00:03:59"
“00:03:58“
“00:03:57“
“What happens when the countdown reaches zero?”
Jiang You took deep breaths continuously, trying to calm down. He turned and looked at the main hall behind him, "We can only go in and take a look."
He walked on the bluestone path and looked at the stone statues on both sides. Only then did he realize that none of these stone statues had heads, which made them look low. Judging from the clothing of the stone statues, they should be a Taoist temple.
No ash fell in the yard, as if there was a force that isolated the ash. Jiang You quickly came to the main hall. The door of the hall opened to the outside, and a Bodhisattva statue sat in the middle.
There is a statue of Bodhisattva enshrined in a Taoist temple?
The statue has sunken eye sockets, raised brows, drooped eye corners, an expression that seems to be a smile but not a smile, and half of the face is hidden in the darkness. There is no feeling of mercy at all, but it reveals an eerie and weird look.
The arm countdown had now entered the last minute. Jiang You entered directly without thinking.
He looked around and saw that there was nothing in the hall except the statues of gods. He looked at his arm and counted down, "03, 02, 01, 00."
Jiang You's heart suddenly tightened, but the surroundings were quiet. The expected horrific incident did not happen, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly!
This is! Suddenly, the sound of a cold instrument came to mind.
"Start sequence."
A text suddenly appeared in my eyes!
[Name: Jiang You]
[Lifespan: 30 (25)]
[Sequence: None (Promotable sequence detected, Exorcist Mage! Do you want to be promoted? 】
Jiang You was confused and tried to answer in his mind, "Yes!"
"Sequence: Exorcist Mage! Start!
Ritual: Survive the evil gaze for three seconds.
Ding.
The ritual is accomplished! Promotion successful. "
[Sequence: LV9 Exorcist Mage (1%)]
[Supernatural power: Exorcism (blood contains some power to exorcise evil)]
"Is this? A superpower?"
Jiang You guessed in his mind that everything here is weird, and there are supernatural powers. It seems that there is a way?
"Wait! What does it mean to have been watched by an evil thing for three seconds? No!"
Jiang You's scalp suddenly exploded and he quickly looked at the statue.
The statue's originally lowered eyes raised the corners of its eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jiang You's blood suddenly became extremely cold. He stood frozen in place, not daring to move. The cold sweat on his hands fell to the ground.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of my eyes.
There was only an empty throne in front of him, and the huge statue on it was missing!
A gust of cold wind blew behind him, and a huge shadow enveloped him, and he turned around.
The statue appeared behind Jiang You, and its hand made of clay sculpture was raised like lightning, grabbed Jiang You's neck, and lifted it up.
Jiang You's feet left the ground, and he was pulled down in front of the statue. He grabbed the arm of the statue and tried to pull it off, but the arm did not move at all. A pair of eyes with red paint were staring at him indifferently, and he could only hear the statue's throat. With a sound of "Gah! Gah! Gah!", the mouth opened directly to two-thirds of the size of the face, and a bright red tongue covered with barbs poked out from the depths! Licking on Chaojiang's surface!
"Are you going to die?" Jiang You thought desperately, "No, exorcist mage! Yes, blood!"
Jiang You bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, opened his mouth, and a ball of blood spurted out from the tip of his tongue. The idol couldn't avoid it and fell on the tongue and its face.
The blood was like red-hot charcoal, making a sizzling sound on the statue's face. A puff of green smoke came out, and it suddenly screamed in pain. Jiang You's arm was loosened, and he fell to the ground.
Jiang You took a few breaths and hurriedly ran towards the door.
He ran to the previous door and beat the wall, unable to find a way out. When he looked back, the statue had followed him, and his face was burnt black and hideous with blood! The huge figure brought a strong sense of oppression, approaching Jiang You step by step.
In the desperate situation, Jiang You felt fierce, his eyes widened with a fierce look, "Damn it! You want to eat me, right?"
Jiang You yelled, looking around for a handy weapon, and saw a broken stone statue not far ahead with a stone sword in his hand! His eyes lit up, he stepped forward and pulled it with his hands, and he actually pulled it off. He spat out a mouthful of blood at the stone sword and rushed towards the statue with the sword.
He ran in front of him, rounded his arms, and the stone sword roared out with a sound of breaking through the air!
Just when he was about to hit the target, the statue disappeared again.
Jiang You didn't even think about it. He turned his sword and stabbed behind him!
"puff."
Sure enough, the statue repeated its old tricks and was stabbed in the chest by Jiang You behind him.
Jiang You smiled ferociously and said, "What? Only these two?"
He turned around, pulled out the stone sword with force, leaving a hole in the chest of the statue, black gas came out, and then stabbed it towards the throat.
"Ding."
The blood on the sword had been exhausted by the previous stab, and it lost its power to exorcise evil and was blocked by the statue's throat.
The statue opened its mouth wide, and its tongue suddenly shot out, wrapping around Jiang You's body. The bright red tongue tip was about to crawl towards his face.
At the critical moment, Jiang You held the blade of the sword with his left hand and swiped it hard and quickly. The rough stone surface instantly cut a deep gash in his palm, and blood flowed out. Just when his tongue was about to enter Jiang You's mouth. , he struggled to pass the sword.
"puff!"
This time, it finally penetrated smoothly. The statue froze immediately, and the tongue wrapped around Jiang You fell down weakly. Jiang You turned his wrist and pulled hard!
A head flew high into the sky.
The statue in front of him suddenly fell down, and his whole body quickly became weathered and turned into a pile of powder.
Jiang You's face was pale, he was breathing heavily, and he was covered in sweat. He felt a sudden pain in his abdomen, fell to the ground, and spit out acidic water.
He lay on the ground and looked at the place where the statue of the god disappeared. In just one hour, what happened had a great impact on him. First, the city became dilapidated and deserted, then a countdown appeared on his arm, and then there was a blow. Follow the funeral procession of Suona, enter the ancient temple, awaken the sequence, and kill the statue!
All this makes Jiang You, an ordinary urban migrant worker, find it incredible.
"Maybe I'm no longer an ordinary person now."
Jiang You looked at his palm and saw a hideous wound across his palm, with the skin and flesh spread out to both sides.
A sharp pain in his heart kept torturing his nerves, but at the same time, his body warmed up, and a warm current penetrated into his body. He looked at the words in his eyes.
[Name: Jiang You]
【Lifespan: 30(25)】
[Sequence: LV9 Exorcist Mage (20%)]
[Supernatural power: Exorcism (blood contains some power to exorcise evil)]
After killing the idol, the progress of the Exorcist Mage increased from 1% to 20%, and I felt as if the power in my blood had increased.
"Can you absorb energy by killing the statue and use it for promotion?" Jiang You thought silently in his mind.
Suddenly, the world in front of him began to shake.
"earthquake?"
Jiang You stood up to leave, but the ground shook violently. As soon as he took a step forward, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell. He felt like the world was spinning and his vision went dark!
Jiang You suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly found himself sitting on the bus, with music still playing in his headphones. His body trembled, and he looked out the window. It was misty and rainy, and there were so many people walking by!
He turned on his phone, and the time was clearly displayed on the screen.
"19:30!"
"Is it just a dream?" Jiang You thought in his mind, and suddenly there was severe pain in his palm, and his face turned pale in pain.
Jiang You opened his palm, and a wound penetrated it, and blood was still oozing out.
At the same time, he found a bloody stone sword on the seat at hand.
"ah!"
Next to Jiang You, a woman who lowered her head to check her cell phone saw the person sitting next to her. His face was pale, his black hair was wet with sweat, and it was messy and stuck to his forehead. His palms were dripping with blood! She was so frightened that she screamed, Jiang You raised his head with eyes wide open, and the woman was so frightened that she stopped talking.
He tried his best to smile at the girl, "I accidentally fell down and cut my palm."
But there was a huge wave in my heart, "Everything before was true."
Just as the bus arrived, Jiang You hurriedly got off the bus, full of worries, called a taxi, returned to the hospital, and bandaged his palms.
By the time everything was done and I got home, it was already eleven o'clock in the night.
Jiang You had a bandage on his hand. He entered the door and turned on the light. He went to the water dispenser to get a cup of hot water, and then slumped down on the sofa. In the room, the dim lights flickered.
"The light bulb is broken?"
The lights in the room illuminated Jiang You's face.
A voice came from the kitchen, "Working overtime again today? I made you a midnight snack."
"Yeah, I got it!" Jiang You replied and started looking at the history messages on his phone.
Mobile phone company WeChat group.
Bi Lei: "Where is @Jiang Youren?"
Bi Lei: " @Jiang You has time to come to the company in the afternoon. There is urgent work, and everyone is here."
Bi Lei: " @Jiang You responded immediately after receiving the message!!!"
Bi Lei: " @Jiang You come to my office tomorrow!"
Jiang You's head was already dizzy from exhaustion, but after reading the news, he suddenly became angry.
"Fuck, call in sick and send your mother a message!"
Pick up your phone and start replying!
" @Bi Lei Aite, what is your father doing?"
" @Bi Lei asked for sick leave, did you know?"
“ @Bi Lei, fuck you, I’m done with this, go ahead and eat shit!”
Jiang You was furious in the company group. There were still people talking in the group, but now they all became quiet.
Jiang You let out the bad breath he had accumulated for a long time and felt comfortable all over. He threw away his phone and picked up the water glass to drink water.
Suddenly he frowned, "Huh? Why did the hot water you just poured become cold?"
He was confused and felt as if he had overlooked something important. He held his hair with his hands and thought hard.
A gust of cold wind blew. He looked at the window. The window was closed tightly. Where was the wind coming from?
Suddenly, Jiang You's brain exploded, "I work alone in the city and live alone! Who is that person in the kitchen?"
He quickly looked towards the kitchen. A black figure was cast on the floor, and the sound of a kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board could be heard from inside.
