"We have more than one deity statue here; others have gone elsewhere to worship."
Standing at the side, a man offered an explanation to the tourists' confusion.
The people around them suddenly understood.
They had not thought too deeply.
Indeed.
Encountering such a famed attraction spot, they naturally wouldn't anticipate any problems arising.
This included Adam, who wouldn't have guessed anything was wrong here, even after observing the whole setting unless he had already had previous suspicions.
Everything appeared to be perfectly normal.
Under the guidance of the priest, they successively moved forward to worship in front of the deity statues.
However, throughout this process, the nearby priest looked on in silence, not leaving their side.
It seemed as if he were monitoring them.
Adam silently observed these events unfolding, closely inspecting the whole process.
A young man is the first to step forward.
