Chapter 381 Statue of Tears
When the situation was at its most dangerous, Liu Xianxian found the statue they had been looking for. It should be a very happy thing, but Ma Ying couldn't laugh.
She knew that there was a third person hiding in the warehouse, and at this moment, that person might be standing in a corner watching them.
to leave? Or take the plunge and try it?
"No, I still think it's too dangerous. Anyway, I already know the location of the sculpture. We can come over tomorrow, so there's no need to rush it." Ma Ying wanted to persuade her best friend: "Listen to me, let's go out first. "
"Just ask two questions, it won't take a few minutes." Liu Xianxian was a little stubborn, the man she liked had become a heart disease she couldn't get rid of.
Released her hand, Liu Xianxian walked towards the depths of the warehouse by herself: "It will be over soon, and soon I will know the answer."
She seemed to be stunned, and the tone of her words was a little strange.
"Liu Xianxian!"
Ma Ying was anxious, she wanted to leave, but she didn't want to leave Liu Xianxian here alone.
Holding the chair in both hands, she chased after her with gritted teeth.
The two girls came to the last row of shelves on the left side of the warehouse. Liu Xianxian pointed to the gap between the shelves and the wall: "The back of the shelf is hollowed out, and the statue is there."
Ma Ying was lying on the shelf, looking inside with the light of her mobile phone, she could see an ugly face in the depths of the shelf.
The plaster statue's eyes seemed to blink slightly as the light fell on the sculpture.
"There's only one statue in the entire warehouse. It should be this one." Liu Xianxian grabbed the edge of the shelf. "What are you doing? We've been looking for something for a few nights, so why don't you come and help?"
"I always feel that this sculpture was deliberately hidden behind the shelf." Ma Ying looked at the statue, she didn't know why, it felt a little familiar.
The two pushed open the shelf together, and a faint odor wafted out.
"Did you smell a stench? It seemed to come from the sculpture, kind of like... a corpse stench?"
"How could the plaster sculpture smell like a corpse?" Liu Xianxian walked up to the statue with her phone in hand, and the light shone on the statue's body.
This is an adult male sculpture,
Slightly bigger than normal people, without clothes, in good shape, but his face is extremely ugly, making people unable to bear to look directly at him.
Few sculptors would spoil their work so badly, unless it had a special meaning.
"It's engraved on the base, with an ugly face. It's exactly the same as the sculpture in your video." Liu Xianxian looked at the sculpture in front of her, her fingers trembled slightly. She finally found the statue and could figure out the problem that had been bothering her for a long time. .
The shelf and the wall are only over a meter wide, and the sculpture stands at the deepest point, like a devil with outstretched arms, ready to embrace a lost traveler.
Standing in front of the sculpture, the stench became stronger, but Liu Xianxian didn't seem to smell it. She folded her hands together, daring not to look into the sculpture's eyes, and lowered her head silently.
"in my heart……"
"and many more!"
Before Liu Xianxian finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ma Ying behind her, "After you think about it, ask again. It was said in that strange talk that the statue can verify the authenticity of a sentence. If this sentence is a fact, it will There are blood and tears, but if it is false, then terrible things will happen."
"I know." Liu Xianxian couldn't listen to any advice now. She took another step forward and said softly to the sculpture, "The person I like in my heart also likes me, right?"
In the closed and gloomy warehouse, the girl expressed her inner doubts to the sculpture, and she looked into the sculpture's eyes with great anticipation.
If the sculpture sheds tears, it proves that what she is saying is true.
Liu Xianxian became nervous involuntarily, she could even hear her own heartbeat.
One second, two seconds...
Half a minute passed and nothing happened in the warehouse.
There were no tears in the sculpture, and nothing terrifying appeared.
"Is the legend false?"
As if the strength in her body had been drained, Liu Xianxian leaned against the wall, all her expectations turned into a bubble and shattered.
Ma Ying stood behind Liu Xianxian, she had expected this result.
A lot of times people do something not for the result, but just for the thought of hope.
Gently patted Liu Xianxian on the shoulder, Ma Ying didn't know how to comfort her roommate.
"I'm fine." Liu Xianxian had that kind of trained smile on her face: "This sculpture once appeared in the video recorded by your sister, go see if you can find any clues, don't worry about me."
Ma Ying nodded, she took out her phone and paused the video where the sculpture appeared.
"The statue in the video is exactly the same as this statue. As long as I find out who the original owner of this statue is, I can find the murderer."
She took out her mobile phone and photographed the sculpture, without letting go of any detail.
The camera moves from the sculpture's chest to the cheek, and the strange familiarity in Ma Ying's heart grows stronger, as if she had done such a thing before.
"Did I forget something?" Ma Ying put away her phone after all the pictures were taken: "The weird talk about the sculpture is fake, but for me, the appearance of this sculpture at least proves one thing. The video I sent is real."
She stared at the statue that was close at hand, looked at the ugly face, and suddenly had an impulse in her heart.
Reaching out to touch the icy skin of the statue, Ma Ying asked a question that had troubled her for a long time: "Has my sister been killed?"
Missing and being killed are two different things. Even after so many years, she still has a trace of luck in her heart.
After waiting for a second or two, Ma Ying shook her head: "The strange talk is fake, how can the sculpture cry? Everything is made up by people. It's a pity that the two of us still believe it."
She was talking to herself. After speaking, the stench in the air seemed to have become a little thicker, and the light of the mobile phone began to distort. The most important thing was that there was a thumping sound from the originally quiet warehouse, as if something touched to the shelf.
Ma Ying noticed the abnormality. She raised her head and was about to turn to leave when Liu Xianxian, who was standing behind her, suddenly screamed!
"Xiaoying! Look at its eyes!"
"Eyes?" Ma Ying quickly realized something, she turned to look at the sculpture's face.
Two lines of blood and tears were slid down the corners of the sculpture's eyes, and the blood was thick and foul-smelling, in stark contrast to the pale skin of the plaster sculpture.
"The statue is crying?!"
Ma Ying stayed where she was, and soon she was surrounded by fear again: "The statue will cry when stating the facts, but when Liu Xianxian asked about the statue just now, it didn't respond."
The lights of the mobile phone were distorted, and the sound of thumping outside the door became clearer and clearer.
