War Paradise

As soon as he stepped into the confines of the Assassin's Temple, the cold night breeze suddenly blew, causing the thinly-clothed "Young Master" to shiver.

"This place is a bit wicked..." Lin Chi said.

The four guards gathered around him with solemn expressions, the torches in their hands dispelled the shadows around him, and at the same time illuminated the plants growing in the yard.

In the courtyard in front of the Assassin’s Temple, the stone-paved path was full of dark blue flowers on both sides, which exuded a choking fragrance in the night breeze. It felt like taking an elevator with a woman spraying too much perfume.

"Young Master, I suggest you leave immediately." Shen Wenchong's tone was serious: "There is something wrong here..."

"It's okay, you think too much." Lin Chi raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the night sky.

The "limit state" can come in handy in this situation. Except for Moria, who was observing secretly, he did not feel the breath of anyone else.

In this temple, there is only oneself and guards. The weird wind is just a coincidence.

Lin Chi and the guards came to the gate of the temple and saw this wooden building in disrepair. The walls had long been decayed, and it looked like it fell down. The broken wooden door couldn't be locked at all, and it was hanging around Doorway.

"Turn out the torch and don't light this house." Lin Chi looked at the door frame that was about to fall.

It seems that even the assassin organization did not think about repairing this building. The interior of the Assassin's Temple is extremely dilapidated. The shattered wooden house in front of it is about to collapse, and even tramps will not live in it.

"Young Master, do you really want to go in?" Shen Wenchong asked in a low voice.

"Hurry up." Lin Chi said as he walked in.

Shen Wenchong reluctantly pushed open the broken wooden door first, and was the first to enter the Assassin Temple as a pioneer. The few people behind also filed in and watched the situation in the Temple vigilantly.

Moonlight cast down from the hole in the ceiling, so that the temple would not be completely dark. The floor under his feet seemed to be polished smoothly, and the refracted moonlight made Lin Chi's vision clearer.

Then, countless eyes lit up from the darkness by the wall, watching the few people entering the temple.

The guards instantly drew their short swords, ready to fight. However, everyone soon discovered that it was not the eyes of creatures that were watching them, but the glass beads inlaid on the wall.

"It's a horrible design." Lin Chi commented.

He stepped forward and had adapted to the dark eyes, and saw the wooden "human face" engraved on the wall and the glass beads inlaid in the eye sockets.

I have to say that these face carvings in the Assassin's Temple are very delicate, and even the crow's feet in the corners of the eyes are clearly visible. The more you look at it, the more you look crippled.

"I said, are these things really carvings?"

Lin Chi stood on tiptoe, stretched out a little fat hand, and stroked the cold cheek of the wooden sculpture: "Could it be someone who was cursed to death, whose face emerged from the wooden wall?"

"Young Master, don't talk about it anymore. Next...I'm not good at dealing with this kind of things." Shen Wenchong said tremblingly.

——Is this kid afraid of ghosts?

Noting Shen Wenchong's look of fear, Lin Chi couldn't help but want to tease him. But Lin Chi hadn't done anything yet, and a crisp sound suddenly sounded in the corner behind him:

Snapped!

"who?"

The two guards stopped in front of Lin Chi in an instant, and aimed their swords in the direction of the sound.

What came into sight were the broken branches in the corner, and... a black cat that stretched and slid against the wall.

"Young Master, can we go now?" Shen Wenchong said tremblingly.

"You can go out and wait. It's okay for me to be here alone." Lin Chi looked around and looked for things like idols under the "gaze" of the glass eyeballs.

The design of the temple is very malicious at first glance. At midnight, the faces on the wall are blurred. No matter where the visitor is standing, all the "eyeballs" seem to be staring at themselves.

In addition, Lin Chi also noticed that the corners of the mouths of all the carved faces on the wall seemed to rise slightly, revealing a "kind" smile.

Although their expressions are not terrifying on people, in the dead of night, facing hundreds of faces smiling at them, the terror index is undoubtedly soaring instantly.

"This architect knows well..." Lin Chi vomited.

"I just want to cut off his head." Shen Wenchong was so scared that he could not stand firmly.

"Don't be nervous, Shen Wenchong." Lin Chi said casually, coming to a statue facing the gate of the hall.

The wooden statue disappeared from the waist up, leaving only a pair of slightly bent legs and a short dagger hanging from the waist.

Judging from this familiar posture, the statue depicts a sneaking assassin. Lin Chi stepped forward and stared down at the base of the statue, using the moonlight to discern the two lines of Chinese characters engraved on the base:

"Dedicated to the laughing Reaper and the assassin's god."

"You assassinate the enemy, we reap the soul."

——Did this cargo cross from Sodom City?

When he saw this sculpture, Lin Chi immediately thought of the altars in Sodom and the Devil who was worshipped as a god.

He closed his eyes and tried to call the "gods" here in the same way he did in Sodom. But this time, nothing appeared.

Devil's whispers did not sound in his consciousness, and nothing changed in the temple. The legendary "God of Assassins" did not respond to Lin Chi's silent call at all.

——Could it be that this is just an ornament, the assassin commander is playing mystery?

However, when it comes to communicating with gods, there should be an expert.

"Put away the weapons, my subordinates are coming in." Lin Chi reminded.

In his consciousness, he contacted Holy Maiden, the vampire under his command. Two seconds later, a familiar white shadow appeared in front of the door of the Assassin's Temple.

"Don't come here!" Shen Wenchong shouted.

"Don't get excited, she is my person." Lin Chi said again, "put down the weapon!"

"Master, here I am."

Mooriya walked into the ruined Assassin Temple, stood in front of Lin Chi, raised the skirt and bowed slightly, "What do you need me to do?"

"I want you to help me contact the ‘god’ in this temple." Lin Chi pointed to the bust sculpture next to him: "Can it be done?"

"This place doesn't look like a god." Mouliya frowned and looked at the face sculpture on the wall: "I can't feel any breath."

"Try it, if not, forget it," Lin Chi said.

"Follow your orders."

After receiving Lin Chi's instructions, Mooriya stood in front of the bust and closed her eyes, slowly raising her head, her body bathed in moonlight.

After waiting for a while, noticing that Moria opened her eyes again, Lin Chi immediately asked, "Did you feel anything?"

"Nothing." Mo Liya shook her head.

Hearing this, Shen Wenchong, who had been standing next to him, finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, Molliya’s next sentence caused Lin Chi who was about to leave to stop again:

"I don't know how to describe it, but there seems to be some kind of ‘post station’ here?"
