Through the opening was a square hole which held a wooden box around the size of a football. Han Sen pulled the box out, and the statue returned to how it had been when he first saw it.
Han Sen returned to sit in front of the statue. It didn't have the sense of life that it had possessed before. It seemed that the statue really had become what it was supposed to be: a statue. There were no further hidden meanings to its existence, and the gourd in the statue's hand didn't summon that feeling of familiarity that it once had.
"The statue really can only be activated once." Han Sen was looking at the wooden box. He thought to himself, "This is what the alpha of the Extreme King left behind. It cannot be anything lame, surely. It must be a deified weapon or something of the sort."
The box wasn't locked, and when Han Sen opened it up, he was given a shock.
