The statue was dark blue, with four faces and twelve arms. A Skull Crown rested on his head, and a Skull Garland hung around his neck. He held another deity statue in his embrace.
The other statue depicted a woman, red from head to toe. Even carved in stone, she had the youthful air of a girl, which was decidedly strange.
She had three eyes. Though her expression was wrathful, a smile touched her lips. She held a Crescent Axe in one hand, while her other hand faced palm upward, supporting a vessel made from a skull. A staff was tucked beneath that arm.
The statue was indeed unusual-two deities joined as one.

The arrangement made it plain.
The skeletal pair were merely guardians! These two embracing deities were the true masters!

A chill rose from the depths of Luo Bin's heart.
"Mr. Xu..." Luo Bin began.
