Chapter 280: Mask(1/2)
Shen Li's compromise was somewhat unacceptable to Bai Chi. Shen Li had always advocated pursuing the root cause of a certain problem, but now she has given up on her own initiative. Does this mean that the issue that the few people are discussing now has some influence on the future path? Very serious clue?
Before Bai Chi could speak, the wretched man shook his head and said, "I've already pointed it out. I don't think we should run away."
Shen Li looked at the wretched man with some resentment, but under his sharp gaze, she still compromised. Now the problem has been made clear. Those envoys sent to China by Himihu were obviously looking for or refining something. thing.
Even if Shen Li intends to avoid this topic, Bai Chi will reveal this speculation when the time comes.
The wretched man breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Shen Li and said:
"You have more knowledge in this area than we do. You must have thought of some possibilities just now, right?"
Shen Li didn't speak, but her face was a little flushed. This made Bai Chi secretly sigh even more that this woman was not as ordinary as she seemed on the surface. Shen Li had always felt something strange about Bai Chi.
Whenever she encounters danger, she will always show the attitude that a woman should show. But when she encounters something incredible, she will always attack it from the other side.
I don't know if Bai Chi feels right or not. Shen Li's depth in the city should be comparable to that of Liu Wei.
But now that there is a wretched man in front of him, Bai Chi is too embarrassed to ask any more questions. A wretched man should be able to handle it, Shen Li Youyou said: "Let me think about it!"
Bai Chi and the wretched man did not speak. Liu Wei slowly turned around as if it had nothing to do with him, and quietly looked at the stone carvings in front of him.
There was silence for about two minutes. Shen Li took a gentle breath and said:
"The reason I didn't let you continue discussing this topic just now is because we may have touched on something very scary now."
Bai Chi was instinctively surprised. This kind of problem can be big or small. If he encounters something terrifying, it means that the words of the person who claims to be 'Bai Chi' have been verified, and if it means another layer of meaning, it means that the four of them are approaching the end. puzzle.
Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, Bai Chi does not want it to happen. Because of his special status, if it is really the latter, then several people will face their respective destinies again, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the man behind the scenes will be Death. Because his goal has been achieved, and Bai Chi does know the final candidate for the answers to these mysteries.
Having said that, it was Bai Chi's random thoughts after all. I don't know when this problem that bothered Bai Chi will come to an end. He stretched out his hand and slapped his face bitterly, and the crisp sound startled the wretched man.
The wretched man turned around and looked at Bai strangely and asked, "Boss, don't tell me that you were swatting mosquitoes just now?"
Bai Chi smiled bitterly and said awkwardly: "It's okay. I was distracted just now. Let's continue talking."
"Oh." The wretched man glanced at Bai Chi suspiciously, then turned his gaze to Shen Li and asked, "What do you mean by the 'scary thing'?"
Shen Li pushed the hair from her forehead behind her ears, looked at the wretched man and said, "This problem can be big or small, but I feel it is not as simple as what we are encountering now."
Bai Chi instinctively cursed secretly. The wretched man turned his head and glared at Bai Chi, signaling Bai Chi not to speak. Then he continued to ask Shen Li: "For example...?"
Shen Li took a deep breath and said:
"One of us is a fake..."
Bai Chi jumped up in an instant. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for three years. This kind of thing of letting others dress up has left a psychological shadow in Bai Chi's heart. When Shen Li said this again, Bai Chi also Very shocked.
For a moment, the four people fell into silence. At this time, Bai Chi could clearly hear the panicked heartbeats of several people.
Who is pretending? Baichi doesn't know who to suspect, but recalling Liu Wei's unbelievable look in his eyes, Baichi finally turns his attention to Liu Wei standing in front of the stone sculpture.
But what surprised Bai Chi was that Liu Wei was not surprised at all by Bai Chi's gaze. On the contrary, he looked at him with a look that Bai Chi couldn't figure out.
Bai Chi looked at Liu Wei intently and was about to question him. Just as he was about to speak, he felt that the fiery gaze of the wretched man behind him had locked onto him.
In an instant, Bai Chi made thousands of assumptions in his mind, and finally confirmed one, that is, the wretched man suspected that Bai Chi was the person he was pretending to be.
Damn it, this is a big deal...
Bai Chi cursed secretly in his heart, turned his head suddenly to look at the wretched man, and said:
"What the hell do you mean? Are you still doubting me now?"
The wretched man looked at Bai Chi without any evasion, and said vigorously: "Boss, it's not that I doubt it, but that you were really not with us at that time."
Bai Chi glared at him dissatisfied, looked at Shen Li and asked:
"What is the problem between me and you that you want to talk like this?"
Shen Li looked at Bai Chi inexplicably and asked:
"What did I say? I just made an assumption, and I didn't say your name!"
Bai Chi was rejected, his face turned almost sallow, he stared at the wretched man and said, "Do you really want to doubt me?"
The wretched man said without any emotion: "It's not that I want to doubt you, but the situation forces me to do so!"
Bai Chi scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Well, what do you want to do to calm down?"
The wretched man slowly walked up to Bai Chi and said, "I want to see if you still have a mask on your face!"
Subconsciously, Bai Chi touched his face. It was still his own. Even if the wretched man saw it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Taking his hands away from his face, Bai Chi said, "Look, it's not a big deal!"
The wretched man smiled lightly and said, "I was afraid that if you didn't want to do it, you would offend the boss."
Bai Chi glanced at the wretched man and said, "Is there anything I don't want to do? If I promise, what should I be afraid of?"
The wretched man shook his head without saying anything. He stopped in front of Bai Chi and gently touched his face with his hand. I don't know why, but seeing the wretched man's hand getting closer, my heart suddenly became complicated.
Bai Chi secretly thought that it was just a verification, and he was the real Jin Zicong, there was nothing to be afraid of.
With this kind of comfort, Bai Chi felt much better. The wretched man's hand had already touched his face. At this moment, his hand was very cold, just like the feeling when the mysterious man touched his neck at the beginning.
I don't know why, in Bai Chi's eyes, the figures of the wretched man and that person slowly overlapped. It seemed that they were the same person.
During this period of random thoughts, the wretched man's hand had already touched Bai Chi's neck. Bai Chi suppressed his random thoughts and must not show any weird expression at this moment, otherwise even if the wretched man didn't notice anything, his expression would be Will betray himself.
"Are you ready?" the wretched man asked gently in front of Bai Chi.
Bai Chi frowned and nodded: "Hurry up, be careful I change my mind."
The wretched man said "Okay" and slowly applied force on his hands. In an instant, from the corner of his eye, Bai Chi saw that his face was slowly being torn apart by the wretched man's movements. At the same time, his face hurt. It also stung her heart, and at this moment, Shen Li also let out a hysterical exclamation.
I don't know why, but Bai Chi was surprisingly calm at this moment, as if the person the wretched man was tearing apart was someone who had nothing to do with him.
But Shen Li's exclamation completely shattered Bai Chi's idea. The pain on his face mixed with Shen Li's scream, as well as the wretched man's gradually dilated pupils, all indicate that Bai Chi's current status has reached a level that makes them afraid. extent.
The pain on his face continued to increase as the wretched man tore him apart, and the next moment Bai Chi's heart became more complicated.
Before meeting them, the mysterious man tore off the ghost mask from Bai Chi's face. His true appearance had already appeared at that time, but now, he still wears a mask on his face...
Bai Chi didn't know whether he should scream out in surprise, but Shen Li's screams suddenly stopped in an instant. Through the wretched man's gradually dilated pupils, Bai Chi suddenly saw his own face from within those black eyes.
The panic in my heart suddenly reached the point where I couldn't attach it. On Bai Chi's face, there was a mask exactly like his own, and underneath this mask, it was still Bai Chi's face.
He raised his hand and pushed the wretched man away with all his strength. That hand firmly pulled the mask on his face. He heard a "tearing" sound, and a burning pain radiated from his face.
The wretched man was pushed back half a meter by Bai Chi, and his posture was still the same as when he was tearing off the mask. In his hand, he still held an almost transparent mask.
It was this kind of mask again. Bai Chi gagged and almost vomited it out.
The wretched man shook his mask a few times and asked quietly: "Boss, is there something wrong with you?"
Bai Chi touched his painful face and looked at the mask in the hands of the wretched man. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shen Li's face slowly became normal, and Bai Chi suppressed the confusion in his heart and asked:
"I don't know, maybe someone deliberately designed this situation."
The wretched man glanced at Bai Chi, threw the mask to the ground, took a look, turned to Liu Wei and asked:
"What do you think this is going on?"
Liu Wei glanced at the stone sculptures and corpses beside him, breathed a deep sigh of relief, slowly closed his eyes and said slowly:
"I can't tell. This matter should be inextricably linked to the time when he disappeared."
The wretched man did not speak. Bai Chi calmed down for a while, leaned down and picked up the mask that he just threw on the ground. There was no color on the transparent mask. Under the bright light of the lamp slave, Bai Chi could see clearly at this time, this so-called mask. It's just a piece of transparent skin.
There are no facial features, it's like a thin film covering the face.
Bai Chi subconsciously stroked one side of his face with his hand. He didn't feel anything when he was wearing this piece of leather just now. He wasn't sure if there was anything else on his face now.
The wretched man seemed to see what Bai Chi meant. He stretched out his hand to confirm on Bai Chi's face, nodded and said, "No more, just throw this away!"
Bai Chi nodded and turned to look at Liu Wei. There was no emotional change, and it seemed that Bai Chi's identity had been determined.
Folding the transparent mask in his hand and putting it in his pocket, Bai Chi breathed a heavy sigh of relief, looked around and said, "Now that things have come to this point, I feel that there is nothing more to delve into."
The wretched man and Shen Li did not speak, but just glanced at Bai Chi. Liu Wei coughed at this time, motioned the three of them to look at him, and finally looked at Bai Chi and said:
"Ever since you fell from the coffin, a thoughtful person has noticed you. Everything you have experienced may have been deliberately designed by that person."
Bai Chi understands this question. If it wasn't directed at him, why would he do so many tricks on himself?
However, Bai Chi didn't say it out loud. Everyone knew the problem. There was no benefit in breaking the window paper. On the contrary, Shen Li seemed to have discovered something at this time. She grabbed the wretched man's arm and shook it, saying:
"No, I feel like we have reached the bottom of the cave. Why haven't we found the ancient ruins they mentioned yet?"
This question is not a question at all, Baichi replied:
"Although we have reached the bottom now, we have been inside the ancient ruins since we entered the forest here."
As soon as this sentence came out, not to mention Shen Li, even the wretched man and Liu Wei were stunned for a moment. They looked at Bai Chi, as if they were waiting for Bai Chi to give an explanation.
This is the first time Baichi has experienced this kind of scene. In the past, they played this role, but now they have evolved into themselves.
Looking at the eyes of the three people, Bai Chi said softly: "Everything in the abyss does not appear by chance. Although the city we have experienced has only one ancient building in the middle, have you noticed that the Yamatai Kingdom at that time It’s impossible to send only single digits of people here, there should be many talents.”
The wretched man slapped his forehead and said:
"It seems like this, but..."
Before he could speak, the topic changed, and the wretched man said nervously: "Boss, don't irritate me, don't tell me, that ancient building was not built by the people at that time?"
To be continued...
