Holding the Jade-faced Guan Yin again, Mo Zhu’s body proved her words.
She had personally taken this Goddess of Mercy statue out from under the bed board of her old house in Qingyuan Village. It had been in her pocket the past few days when she was in the car. Apart from feeling a little cold, it gave Mo Zhu the feeling that it was no different from ordinary jade accessories.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhu seemed to have recalled something and frowned slightly. Back then, when Old Man Guo decided to take her as his disciple, she seemed to have heard the old man mention that her natural constitution was cold and abnormal. Maybe it was because of this that the jade-faced Guan.
Yin could not affect her.
Seeing that Mo Zhu did not have any strange reaction after holding the Goddess of Mercy statue in her hand for so long, Huo Xuan vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He took out a few tissues from the tissue box on the table neatly and folded the tissues together before placing them in his hand.
Then, he said indifferently to Mo Zhu, “Xiao Zhu, try putting it in my hand again.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Mo Zhu nodded obediently and placed the jade-faced Guan Yin statue on the thick stack of tissues in the man’s palm. She didn’t expect that the moment Huo Xuan’s palm touched the Guan Yin statue, he immediately felt the discomfort he felt previously. His blood
instantly turned cold.
Huo Xuan endured for a few minutes with his face pale. Only when he felt that his body was about to collapse did he ask Mo Zhu to take the Goddess of Mercy away.
Through this experiment, he could already conclude that this thing was an evil entity. If he directly came into contact with it, his physical discomfort would increase with time.
“This thing isn’t as simple as it looks. There must be a big secret behind it. Find a secret place and keep it there. Before you find out the truth, don’t tell anyone.” Huo Xuan had a serious expression as he instructed Mo Zhu worriedly.
Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu looked up at the Guan Yin statue again and asked with a frown, “What exactly is this?”
Huo Xuan had always had a calm and unhurried image in front of Mo Zhu. Now that he had suddenly became serious due to the Goddess of Mercy, she felt a little surprised.
It seemed like the secret behind it wasn’t simple. Otherwise, Huo Xuan wouldn’t have reminded her so seriously.
Shaking his head lightly, Huo Xuan raised his hand and knocked on the desk as he said thoughtfully, “I don’t know what this is either. So far, I’m sure that it will affect the health of ordinary people. Although your physique is special and you might not be affected much, as long as there’s a possibility that it
might endanger your life, we have to be careful!”
‘When Mo Zhu heard this, she instantly put on a serious expression and nodded in agreement. “Alright, I understand.”
After saying this, Huo Xuan seemed to have thought of something and he said with a grave tone, “Previously, when I was investigating the Huo family’s business, I accidentally found a special case that happened in Beijing more than twenty years ago. At that time, the crime rate in the villages around
Beijing was several times higher than in the past. When the police went to investigate, they found that the villagers who committed those crimes had a common illness, and there was something wrong with their mental health.”
“I still remember that this matter had caused a huge uproar in society back then. When the case was closed in the end, the media gave the conclusion that there was a psychological problem with them. However, there was some news that said that those people were affected by something, First, there was
a problem with their bodies, then their brains were controlled by someone. It was only because they had no choice that they ended up hurting others.”
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows, looked up at Huo Xuan and asked indifferently, “You suspect that this thing is related to this case back then?”
Huo Xuan nodded and continued what he had just said, “This isn’t the end of the matter. Ever since the police couldn’t find any more useful information and announced the closure of the case, those people had been brought back to the village by their families and locked up for treatment. About ten years
later, these villages simultaneously had a bizarre homicide case. Overnight, all the villages in Beijing related to this incident were wiped out by a fire. Not a single old man or child survived.”
After a pause, Huo Xuan tidied up his thoughts and added, “I suspect that this matter has something to do with the jade-faced Guan Yin statue in your hand. The reason why your grandmother repeatedly emphasized to you to watch it before she died should be because she doesn’t want this thing to fall
into the hands of someone with ill intentions and repeat the tragedy of the past..”
