I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 85 "Face": Li Jun in Reality? Sister Hong?

Why is it a faceless person?

Lin Yuan was puzzled, but his hand was already on the faceless man's face.

Since you don't have a face, then I'll give you one!

Colorful patterns crawled onto the faceless man's cheeks, quickly outlining a bizarre mask. Everything went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.

A moment later, Lin Yuan withdrew his hand.

The faceless man standing in front of him now had a theatrical mask on his face, which was very similar to the one on the face of the mirror actor.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems I'm becoming more and more proficient in controlling the patterns."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction. He vaguely saw a hint of "joy" in his eyes, which made him pause for a moment and instantly realize that something was wrong.

His vision seemed to be obstructed.

At the same time, the faceless man's neck suddenly twisted ninety degrees, facing Lin Yuan's direction, and the face painted with theatrical patterns seemed to come alive, revealing a strange smile.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan can no longer see it.

His vision was completely restricted; everything in front of him was pitch black, and something was covering his face.

Oops!

Lin Yuan didn't know what had happened, but he was certain he had been attacked. He immediately rang the ghost bell, one ring after another, the eerie sound spreading outwards.

Under the influence of the supernatural, Lin Yuan's vision became like that of a light bulb that had been interfered with.

When the bell rings, it will briefly return to normal.

When the bells stop ringing, darkness will return.

But every time his vision returned, he could see the faceless man whose face he had covered with theatrical patterns getting a little closer to him.

Especially the faceless man's hand, which was already reaching for his own face.

Like a frame-by-frame animation, it revealed an indescribable eeriness and terror, and Lin Yuan could feel the "shock" and "anger" in his heart.

Whenever this emotion arises, the eerie thing obscuring one's vision seems to grow even thicker, and the time that the bell can buy becomes shorter and shorter.

mood?

Did my emotions become nourishment for this unknown vengeful ghost?

Recalling the blurry mask he had seen on his own face before, and the various emotions on the mask, Lin Yuan had a crazy and bold guess in his mind.

Perhaps this is the face the faceless man has been searching for?

A "face" that requires the emotions of a specific person as nourishment to be completed?

This "face" is almost fully formed, so he's here to take it away?

Lin Yuan did not run away. Now that his vision was obscured, even the curse of the Mirror Actor was suppressed at this moment, and the Ghost Bell could not be effective.

Running away now would only expose your back to this ghost, and you'd only die faster.

Fortunately, he still had one red ghost candle left. Taking advantage of the moment the bell rang, Lin Yuan took out the red ghost candle. The bell rang and the vision went black instantly.

The next moment, the bell rang, and his vision returned. He saw the faceless man slap his hand, sending the red ghost candle flying.

"We got tricked! Next time we come, we'll definitely tear this ghost street apart!"

Lin Yuan felt an uncontrollable surge of anger. At this moment, the mask on his face had fully taken shape, no longer blurry, but transformed from an illusion into a real mask.

The theatrical patterns that Lin Yuan had covered on the faceless man's face had completely melted away, sliding off like water droplets without leaving any trace.

He grabbed Lin Yuan's mask and removed it seemingly without much effort.

Lin Yuan remained standing in the same spot, but his face was gone, just like the faceless man before him. He had nothing left but a complete human skin without any facial features.

The faceless man turned the mask inside out and put it on his own face.

Even though his head shape was very different from Lin Yuan's, the mask automatically adjusted itself the moment it was put on, adapting to his head and blending in to become his facial features.

The faceless man has gained a face.

This face displays a rich array of emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, happiness—all these emotions are presented one by one, before finally receding and becoming calm and numb.

Looking at it vaguely, this face bears a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Lin Yuan.

He stood there quietly for an unknown amount of time, then suddenly turned his head to look towards the direction outside the archway, as if something there was attracting him.

Just as he was about to walk over, Lin Yuan's faceless corpse suddenly rang the ghost bell.

Boom!

The faceless man, now with a face, stopped, turned around, and came to Lin Yuan's corpse. He took the ghost bell from the corpse's hand, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

The smile was radiant, but upon closer inspection, it revealed an unsettling eeriness.

It was as if this wasn't a person laughing, but rather a ghost mimicking a human's laughter, especially those eyes—empty, lifeless, devoid of any normal human emotion.

After that, he walked into Taiping Ancient Town and disappeared in no time.

The old corpse left behind was also rapidly weathering away, eventually being blown away by the wind and disappearing without a trace, leaving only an oil lamp, a few unused white ghost candles, and a red ghost candle that had been knocked away.

As time passed, the once deathly silent streets were suddenly filled with the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing.

It was like returning to the human world from hell.

The streetlights on the street also brightened up, and the fog was no longer thick. There were two people outside the archway, which was originally empty, but now there were two people, namely Li Fei, who was holding Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao is still unconscious, and it's unknown when she will wake up.

Li Fei was very anxious until he saw the oil lamp and red and white ghost candles that suddenly appeared on the ground. He was stunned on the spot. After a while, he hurriedly went forward to pick up these things and then quickly left the place.

Several minutes later, the one-eyed old man, Boss Liu, the laundry woman, and the faceless man arrived.

"That woman died."

The one-eyed old man suddenly spoke, glancing back at the direction of Ghost Street, then at the faceless man, "I think I know how to get your face back."

The faceless man gestured excitedly, "Where?"

"Let's wait for an opportunity. After all, Ghost Street has its own rules, and we can't break them."

……

"Brother, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

When Lin Yuan opened his eyes, he saw his younger sister, Lin Yue, with tears in her eyes.

The girl had visibly large dark circles under her eyes and was extremely agitated. She threw herself at him, crying, "Brother, didn't you say you were better? You lied to me, you big liar!"

Lin Yuan coughed painfully, "Easy, easy, I'm being crushed!"

Lin Yue was too tired. After Lin Yuan woke up and confirmed that he was alright and not talking nonsense, she fell into a deep sleep.

This is a special care ward, with two other beds in the room, both of which are for accompanying persons, so that Lin Yue can get a good rest.

Only then did Lin Yuan have the mind to look around.

ward?

hiss!

Could it be that they've gone back to that hospital?

Lin Yuan gasped. If it weren't for the fact that the sky outside the window was dark and he wasn't feeling well, he would have wanted to run away right now.

Yang Fan, that old bastard, is a real scoundrel.

I went to him for treatment and earned a registration fee for him, but he actually chased after me with the hospital's security guards, trying to send me to a mental hospital. How despicable!

"Brother Lin, you should rest well and not move around too much."

Peng Anxiao came in carrying a takeout bag. When she saw Lin Yuan trying to get out of bed, she rushed over with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm fine. You're here too? What happened? Can you tell me?" Lin Yuan suppressed his agitation and asked in a deep voice.

Peng Anxiao put the takeout bag on the table and started talking about what had happened earlier.

After losing money on Kangjin Mountain, they came down the mountain. As a result, Lin Yuan suddenly fell ill and fainted. These are all things that Lin Yuan still remembers.

Most importantly, what happened next.

"We called for emergency help, and paramedics arrived quickly. We haven't gone back yet; we've been in the hospital in Kangjin City for four days now."

As Peng Anxiao spoke, his brows and eyes betrayed his deep worry.

Lin Yuan immediately noticed something was wrong and jokingly probed, "Four days? I was unconscious for four days? This ward is special. Xiaoyue shouldn't have enough money for me to stay in such an expensive ward. Could it be you? I didn't realize An Xiao was such a rich girl. How much is it? I'll pay you back."

Peng Anxiao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? I'm not some rich girl. This is indeed a special care ward, and it's quite expensive, but we're staying here without paying... well, not for now."

"What do you mean by not taking any money? And you live here too? Are you forced to live here?" Lin Yuan frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.

He suddenly looked around and sure enough, he found a camera above his hospital bed pointing directly at him, flashing a red light, clearly indicating that it was in operation.

Meanwhile, in a room no more than fifty meters away from the ward.

The layout here is unusual; it's clearly not a hospital room, nor does it resemble an office. It's more like a surveillance room, and the image on the monitor screen is Lin Yuan waking up.

"The target has woken up, its ecological characteristics are stable, its emotions are stable, and its observation is very keen. It has already noticed that something is wrong."

The staff member sitting in front of the monitor said calmly.

Behind him stood a square-faced man, nearly forty years old, but with an exceptionally upright posture and an air of competence.

His gaze was sharp, as if he could see through Lin Yuan's thoughts through the camera. "Since he's awake, let's make contact. I also want to know if his special abilities are related to those things."

After straightening his clothes, the man strode out of the monitoring room, followed closely by two men and a woman.

These three men shared the same distinctive aura as the leader, making it easy to guess at a glance what they did or what they had done in the past.

"It seems I've dragged you into this."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, feeling a deep sense of guilt.

Peng Anxiao lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said softly, "No, no, if it weren't for Brother Lin accompanying us, Xiaoyue and I wouldn't have been able to come on this trip."

lie!

Lin Yuan understood, but he didn't point it out, nor did he get angry.

If he gets caught up in some inexplicable incident, he'll feel resentful. Peng Anxiao is just Lin Yue's college classmate and best friend, not anyone to Lin Yuan.

"Those people should be here soon. Go and get something to eat."

Lin Yuan got out of bed. There was nothing wrong with his body. In fact, he felt quite refreshed. That feeling of being a little superman was still there.

Suddenly, he turned and glanced at the window of the ward.

His reflection was on the glass, and nothing seemed amiss. Just then, his ears twitched as he heard a series of footsteps approaching rapidly, but he didn't look closely.

After he turned his head, "Lin Yuan" in the window remained in the same position, with strange facial features appearing on his face, and his eyes seemed to come alive, staring intently at Lin Yuan's back.

A group of people quickly arrived at the ward door. The moment Lin Yuan saw the leader, he froze, his eyes fixed on the newcomer, and uttered a name:

"Li! Jun!"

Ok?

Upon hearing Lin Yuan mention his name, the man's eyes sharpened instantly, but he seemed unsurprised, simply standing at the door and saying, "Lin Yuan, let's talk."

"it is good."

Lin Yuan readily agreed, then turned to Peng Anxiao, who was looking down, and said, "Take good care of Xiaoyue. If she wakes up, tell her I felt a little stuffy and went out for a walk. I'll be back soon."

"understood."

Upon hearing Peng Anxiao's response, Lin Yuan followed the man and his group out of the ward, where he also met two other men and a woman.

They weren't familiar faces.

But is it a coincidence that Peng Anxiao is involved, and is it also a coincidence that Li Jun is involved?

Lin Yuan's heart was in turmoil, and he felt a strong sense of unease, which was directly reflected on his face, making it clear to the people opposite him.

"Don't worry, Lin Yuan. You may have noticed that this world is a bit different, including yourself. We came here to talk to you about this. Come on, let's go sit in the lounge over there. Don't worry about anything happening here. This hospital is our partner hospital, and many of the facilities are specially made. Nothing will happen."

The man's voice softened slightly, and he glanced back.

The only woman stepped forward. With her short hair, she looked dashing and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, Lin Yuan. My name is Chen Hong. I'm two years older than you. You can call me Sister Hong."

Sister Hong?

Lin Yuan suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Chen Hong.

Chen Hong subconsciously took a step back, and a blush immediately spread across her face. It wasn't from shyness or fear, but from annoyance and resentment.

She's no young girl; she's been through a lot. Yet, she was intimidated by a single glance from someone two years younger than her who only had ordinary work experience.

What will my teammates think of me?
