Chapter 381 - The Weeping Statue (2/2)
“I know” Liu Xianxian was closed to any advice She took another step and told the statue softly, “The man inside my heart, he also likes irl asked the question inside her heart, and she turned to focus on the statue’s eyes with anticipation If the statue wept, then she was right Liu Xianxian started to get nervous; she could even hear her own heartbeat
One second, two second…
Half ahappened The statue did not cry, and nothing scary happened
“The legend’s fake?” Liu Xianxian leaned weakly against the wall like her energy had been sucked out of her body Her hope morphed into a bubble and was popped Ma Yin stood behind Liu Xianxian—she see not to wish for any result, but it was because of that drive of hope Ma Yin patted Liu Xianxian’s shoulder lightly, but she did not kno to best console her roommate
“I’m fine” The trained smile appeared on Liu Xianxian’s face “This statue once appeared in your sister’s video You have to go and check whether there’s any clue regarding her disappearance I’ll be fine”
Ma Yin nodded She took out her phone to pause the video where the statue was on screen “The statue in the video is completely identical to this statue I only need to find out who this statue’s original owner is, and I’ll be able to find the killer”
She recorded the statue on her phone, not letting go of any details The camera moved from the statue’s chest to its cheeks The sense of familiarity in Ma Yin’s heart increased like she had done sootten so, Ma Yin put her phone away “The legend involving the statue is fake, but at least the appearance of this statue has proven so—the video that my sister sent me is real”
She stared at the statue before her Looking at that ugly face, an urge blossomed in her heart She reached out to touch the statue’s icy skin, and Ma Yin asked the question that had been troubling her “My big sister is dead, isn’t she?”
Disappeared and dead were two different things Even after so many year, Ma Yin still had some hope in her heart
After two seconds, Ma Yin shook her head “The legend is fake, so why a this? It’s just a story to trick children, and we’ve fallen for it”
She was talking to herself, but when she finished, the stench in the air grew, and the light froinally silent storeroo was knocking into the racks
Ma Yin sensed the change in the air, and she prepared to leave when Liu Xianxian yelled, “Xiao Yin! Look at his eyes!”
“His eyes?” Ma Yin understood it immediately and turned to look at the statue’s eyes Two lines of blood were flowing down the statue’s eyes The blood was thick and red, forreat contrast to the plaster-white skin
“The statue cried‽”
Ma Yin stood where she was, and soon, she was covered by fear “The statue will cry when it’s a truth, but when Liu Xianxian asked her question earlier, it didn’t respond”
The light was distorted evensound became more consistent
