Chapter 254 Murals and Masks

When Su Zi didn't wake up, his eyes were blurry for a long time before he saw clearly what seemed to be a dark rock wall above his head. On the rock wall, he could vaguely see some words and totems carved on it. He tried to recall it.

The place where I fainted was in the jungle. Why could I see the rock wall when I woke up? It seemed that I was in a cave.

Su Ziwei pushed himself to sit up, and the next second, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up from the ground.

He was indeed in a cave, but he was not alone in the cave.

There were many people standing around the cave, some standing next to him, and some standing farther away from him. They were all wearing strange clothes, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him!

"Ah!" Su Ziwei shouted in fright, "Who are you!"

At this time, a girl took a step forward. Su Zi did not recognize her. She was the girl who was hiding behind the tree by the spring waterfall yesterday. At that time, only half of her face was exposed, but it was only after seeing the full picture today that she realized that

The other side of her face was covered by a mask. And that half of the mask... made Su Ziwei feel familiar.

"You... are you residents of this place?" Su Ziwei was a little surprised. He remembered that the director said that the aboriginal people here are ordinary people, living a modern life, no different from them, they are just islanders.

But right now, these people are wearing strange clothes and have strange totems painted on their faces. It is obvious that they are not what normal modern people should look like.

The girl said softly: "My name is Soria, and I am a citizen of Meside Island." She turned back and pointed at those people, "They are all. Our ancestors have lived here for generations."

"But you..." Su Ziwei was a little confused, "Wearing..."

"This is our sacrificial clothing." Soria said, "Every year during this rainy season, we come to the ruins to offer sacrifices."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, and an old man on crutches walked forward. Su Ziwei didn't notice her just now, maybe she had been hunched in the corner. Now that he saw her, Su Ziwei was shocked... This

The old man wore a dark hood and a white mask hanging on his face. It was an expressionless mask... But... Su Ziwei was too familiar with this mask... This was...

"This mask of yours!" Su Ziwei shouted in surprise, "Where did this mask of yours... come from!?"

The old man who came forward laughed dryly and pointed at his face: "It seems that you really know this mask. I am the patriarch here, you can call me Amu."

"Why did you bring me here?" Su Ziwei's heart was beating wildly and his voice was hoarse and rough. Does the mysterious masked man he met all this time have anything to do with this place!?

The patriarch Amu said: "The reason why we agreed to your director coming here to film the show is because you want to come. We need your help, so we brought you here."

"Me?" Su Ziwei pointed to himself. He thought of those pheasants flying deep into the woods, those bonfires and traps. Were they just to lure him here?

"What are you going to do? You are in the same group with that masked man, aren't you?!"

The patriarch Amu waved his hand, and two burly men came forward from behind. Before Su Ziwei could say anything, they helped him up from the cold stone. Su Ziwei looked confused and whispered.

He said thank you, but his expression was still wary.

Eminem said: "You are the child chosen by our God. God said that only you can save us."

"Huh?" Su Ziwei suddenly felt that he was probably still dreaming, or that he had met some strange indigenous people, "What... God? What are you talking about?"

"Zoriya, take him in." Ammu turned his face to Soliya and said.

Soriya, half-masked, nodded and said to Su Ziwei: "I hope you can trust us. We want to show you something."

Su Zi was not dubious, so he stood up and saw Soria pointing to a cave deep in the cave. There were many candles burning at the entrance of the cave, which made the inside very bright.

"You will know if you come in with me," she said.

Who knows what is in the cave, who knows who these people are? If they are really with the masked man, what is their purpose? Su Ziwei has always felt that "entering the script" is passing into another person

The world, or the parallel universe, may have been caused by a certain scientific research experiment driving his brain, but now it seems that Siri is not a system, and this whole thing has nothing to do with the "experiment"? Why is it involved in national culture and

The “god” mentioned by the patriarch Amu?

Su Ziwei was confused and had been hesitating whether to follow Soria or not.

However, he wanted to know the truth too much and wanted to know why all of this happened...

Seeing Soriya looking at him with such expectancy, Su Ziwei gritted his teeth.

Just think of it as a dream.

Anyway, hasn’t he dreamed enough?

"I'll go with you."

Su Ziwei said and followed Soria. The islanders next to him suddenly chanted something, like they were praying or chanting a curse. Su Ziwei's heart was numbed by these voices.

But he had to speed up his pace to follow Soria.

When I got into the cave, I thought it would be cramped and difficult to walk inside, but I didn't expect that after walking a few steps into the bright cave illuminated by candles, I suddenly became enlightened. There are stone stairs here, and candlesticks with lotus petals are built on the walls on both sides.

Obviously, this is not a purely natural cave, but someone has lived in it. Maybe it is the islanders here...

However, before Su Ziwei had time to think too much, the cave had already reached the end. Soria raised one of the candlesticks and blew it gently. Suddenly, the entire cave was lit by hundreds of candles.

This is a cave with no exit, only four walls.

The walls are all covered with murals.

"This..." Su Ziwei stepped forward in surprise. These murals looked very ancient, like ruins. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Soria.

"Don't touch it," she said. "The ancestors disappeared just because they touched the murals." She pointed to one of the walls. One of the murals on it had fallen off and it was hard to see what it was.

This kind of mural paint cannot be touched, otherwise it will cause strong oxidation.

"What on earth...is going on?" Su Ziwei stared at the painting on the wall. On it, there were many little people painted. They were wearing masks. The masks were the same as those he had seen the masked person wearing.

The smiling face and crying face masks are exactly the same, and there are even masks with other expressions.

And these people are worshiping a black and gold mask.
