Big Bang Earth [Unlimited]
Chapter 4 Countdown Day 8
"We are people! Really people!"
The lovers repeatedly defended excitedly.
The remaining ten players spread out to the side one after another, keeping a distance from the couple.
During the stalemate, the morning sun poured into the windowless room.
"Its daybreak."
"If it's a ghost, can't you see the sun?"
The player looked at the couple. They were standing in the corner, just out of the sunlight.
"Fool! Are we human beings who don't know?"
The lovers seemed to be irritated by everyone's suspicion, and angrily dragged his girlfriend out.
"Let's go, let's leave by ourselves, so as not to be dragged down by these idiots!"
He opens the door.
The morning sun was shining right on him.
Next second,
"Roar--"
This man starts with the head, a little animalistic.
Yellow fur, black leopard spots, feline animal ears, clothes torn by animalization, and a long tail growing out of the caudal vertebrae.
He let out a bewildered roar, but what came out of his mouth at this time had turned into a beast's roar.
"Oh monster!"
His girlfriend was so frightened that she broke free from his claws, turned around and was about to flee indoors.
In a moment of desperation, the animal-like man jumped at her, opened his mouth wide, and bit his girlfriend's head.
The woman's scream disappeared in the mouth of the boyfriend who turned into a beast.
The beast opened its mouth in bewilderment.
"boom--"
The lady's body fell to the ground with a bang, with a deep row of tooth marks on her neck, and blood flowed all over the door.
The morning sun did not bring any warmth, bathed in the body, only the chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
"Swish, swish, swish" The killing sound of bidding shooting into the body of the beast, and the scream of the beast's wailing, became the background sound of the morning.
The blood, human blood, and animal blood all over the ground became the background color of the early morning.
The player's feet seemed to be frozen in place, not daring to move.
"The beast just now was a jaguar." Xie Bingyan was the first to recover.
Rolling up his sleeves to reveal the tattoos on his arms:
"His tattoo is the same as mine, a jaguar, also known as a jaguar."
……
"This is God's punishment."
The priest in black appeared silently under the eaves outside the door, just standing in the shadows.
His figure and shadow are naturally integrated, his expression is stiff, and his temperament is indifferent, making it difficult for players to tell whether he is a human or a ghost.
The priest in black followed the shadows under the eaves and dragged away the body of the jaguar and the female player.
He held one in each hand, and his seemingly thin body possessed enormous strength, easily dragging them away at the same time.
All the players watched quietly, silently, as if they were shocked.
When the figure of the priest in black disappeared from the player's sight, Xie Bingyan let out a long breath.
"The lady has a solid figure, at least sixty kilograms. The man weighed eighty to ninety kilograms before transforming into a beast..."
Guimia added: "An adult jaguar weighs between 180 and [-] kilograms."
"That is to say, he can carry at least [-] kilograms with one hand."
"This strength is nothing, I can also lift a [-]-kilogram beauty with one hand!" Charlie proudly showed off.
Xie Bingyan clapped his hands "clap clap" and smiled reservedly: "Excellent, then the priest will be handed over to you."
Charlie's face froze and he couldn't keep laughing.
The sun has completely jumped out of the horizon, covering the entire courtyard.
Players have new problems.
"Could these tattoos be a curse?"
A player with a jaguar tattoo turned into a jaguar after being exposed to the sun, and other players subconsciously hid in the indoor shadows after that.
But now it's almost inevitable.
Xie Bingyan stretched out a hand, shining in the sun, without any change at all.
"It doesn't appear to be."
"It should be a punishment for violating the rules of the game. Do you still remember what the priest said?" Ji Muxia also tested with his hands first, then walked out of the room and stood in the sun.
"God said that a slave should be loyal to his master and not run away."
Jin Doline and the couple had escaped, and so far, all three escaped were killed.
The rest of the players came out of the room cautiously.
Sure enough, everyone is fine.
This is a modest backyard that can only be seen clearly in daylight when the light is clear.
The buildings in the backyard are basically adobe walls, and on the walls are now dried and inedible dried corn and dried peppers.
The slave room on their side is earth-colored, while the other side is more ornate at first glance. It is painted light red with volcanic rock ash, and painted with incomprehensible clan totems.
Ji Muxia looked at the red totem, which was very similar to the tattoo on his arm.
Judging from the location and size of the house, it can be seen that important people lived there.
"Let's go take a look."
Xie Bingyan naturally followed, and Qin Jiao also followed.
Other players divided into different teams, some chose other rooms, and some chose the front temple.
During the day, the temple appears to be completely deserted.
There are no NPCs to arrange tasks, and there are no dangerous sneak attacks such as ghosts.
But every player dare not relax. The danger may be hidden in an unreasonable place just like the player who suddenly turned into a jaguar.
In front of the red house, Xie Bingyan took out a scalpel and was about to pry open the door, but was stopped by Ji Muxia.
"Be polite." Ji Muxia reached out and knocked on the door gently.
"Excuse me, is there anyone?"
"There must be no one there. I saw the priest go in that direction..." Qin Jiao pointed in the direction of the temple.
Sure enough, no one answered.
The door was not locked either. After the three of them easily pushed it open, they stepped in and locked it.
As for why no one was left to guard the gate, it was really too empty here, with no trees or agaves, so the suspicion of someone standing at the gate was even greater.
Moreover, no one is suitable to be a caretaker.
Leaving Qin Jiao behind, Xie Bingyan didn't believe that she would not leave the two of them behind and run away when she was in danger.
Xie Bingyan was worried about letting Qin Jiao and Ji Muxia get along alone.
And Ji Mucha is not suitable to stay.
Finally, the three of them entered the door together.
The room was dark, and there were thick curtains on the windows, and they drew the slits to let a dim light in the room.
On the stone table facing the door, there is a beautiful stone carving, more than one meter high.
It was a coiled snake-shaped sculpture. The body of the snake that should have scales was a piece of feathers, and a pair of wings grew near the head.
The surface of this stone sculpture is extremely mottled, with golden spots remaining on the uneven rough texture, only the obsidian vertical pupils of the binocular eyes are the only luster.
"This statue should be gilded, but the gold leaf was stripped away."
Xie Bingyan walked behind Ji Muxia: "Is this snake their idol?"
"This is the Feathered Serpent God, Quetzalcoatl, the protector of priests. As expected, this room is the priest's room."
Ji Muxia's hand stroked the tattoo on her arm.
He already understood that the tattoo on his body was Feathered Serpent.
"The tail of the Feathered Serpent represents death and rebirth, as well as infinity and eternity."
Xie Bingyan: "Does this symbolize time?"
"Not necessarily. The Aztecs had their own solar calendar, and there are also life books and calendar stones, and there are patterns of calendar stones on daily objects."
When Ji Muxia was speaking, he kept searching indoors.
The priest's room is equally simple, with wooden beds and clay pots, except for the exaggerated animal bones and feathers on the walls, it doesn't seem to pay much attention to enjoyment.
Ji Mucha found a clay pot. The orange-bottomed pot has black wavy patterns on the shoulders and feet, and complicated patterns on the pot belly.
"Look, this is what the Calendar Stone looks like."
"If it's to stop the time, could it be a timer? For example, if the clock stops the time, you just unplug the battery. If it's a clock tattoo, could it be that you killed the player..."
Qin Jiao rubbed his wrists murderously, "Or, smash this pot?"
"How could it be so simple..." Xie Bingyan looked at Ji Muxia hesitantly.
Ji Muxia searched the room and found many utensils with calendar stone patterns.
Qin Jiao was dumbfounded: "So much time?"
The utensils used in the priest's room are of course the best. The pottery pots have the most complicated patterns, and the stone tools are the most exquisitely crafted. There are too many utensils with this complicated calendar stone pattern.
"Just..." Qin Jiao knocked on the clay pot, such a fragile vessel is too easy to destroy.
"One does not do two endlessly..."
Xie Bingyan pushed his glasses and showed a devilish smile: "No, why do you have to do it yourself when there are ready-made thugs?"
"Isn't Charlie a wanted criminal? He just happens to use waste."
Qinjiao: ...
Ji Mucha: Suddenly I feel that Charlie is miserable...
"Ancient timers include gui watches, sundials, hourglasses, copper kettle hourglasses, etc. We can try to find real objects, such as the calendar stone. Let Charlie..."
The second half of Ji Mucha's words came to an abrupt end.
Just as he opened the door, the priest in black stood silently at the door, watching him and the three people in the room quietly.
Ji Muxia put his hand on the doorknob, and a cold sweat broke out from behind his back.
Because there was no guard at the door, the three of them actually listened to the movement outside, but none of them heard the footsteps.
The air seemed to freeze.
Ji Muxia stood at the front, Xie Bingyan and Qin Jiao stood behind him respectively, forming a triangle, facing the black-clothed priest first.
After a while, the priest in black moved.
He turned sideways to make way.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
As soon as the black-clothed priest moved, Xie Bingyan was already holding the scalpel in his hands nervously.
The black-clothed priest moved out of the way, Ji Muxia gritted his teeth, nodded his thanks, and walked past him bravely.
One, two, three.
The three of them walked past the black-clothed priest one after another, each with tense muscles, ready to attack the black-clothed priest at any time.
But the black priest did nothing.
He just reminded again that it was time to go back, so he stood at the door and watched the backs of the three of them quietly.
Ji Muxia felt like a light was on his back, his whole body was cold, his limbs were stiff as if he was a puppet, being controlled by his limbs.
After walking for a hundred meters, I looked back and saw that the priest in black had disappeared, and the door of the red house was closed again without a sound.
The three ran wildly, running back to the slave room before relaxing.
"He's leaving that way..." Qin Jiao leaned on the wall, panting in fear.
"Even people turning into beasts appeared, so what kind of scientific logic do you expect?" Xie Bingyan said angrily.
And the sky has already unknowingly, darkened again.
After being startled and tired, the three of them finally felt hungry. They casually took roasted corn and water from the clay pot to fill their bellies, and sat on the floor to rest.
Tonight is another dangerous night.
They have to recharge their batteries and wait for the night's hard battle.
Players came back from different locations one after another. After seeing someone in the room, they subconsciously lowered their voices and only communicated with their internal partners.
When the sky completely darkened and the waning moon rose in the sky, the black-clothed priest quietly appeared from the shadow of the door again.
"God says, keep the night indoors, and the wind shall not be seen."
No wind in sight.
Is this the rule for tonight?
Ji Mucha thought deeply.
Xie Bingyan whispered in his ear: "There are still two people who haven't come back."
Until the priest in black left, the two who returned late did not come back.
I don't know if something happened or if I escaped.
Before lying down to sleep, Ji Mucha and Xie Bingyan exchanged glances and looked at Charlie at the same time, then closed their eyes and went to sleep.
Just listening to everyone's shallow breathing, Ji Muxia knew that everyone was not asleep.
Waiting, waiting, the voice in my head came.
[The countdown has entered the eighth day~]
As soon as the sound stopped, there was movement at the door...
The lovers repeatedly defended excitedly.
The remaining ten players spread out to the side one after another, keeping a distance from the couple.
During the stalemate, the morning sun poured into the windowless room.
"Its daybreak."
"If it's a ghost, can't you see the sun?"
