Chapter 81 The Erased Facial Features
"Knock knock knock! Knock knock!"
The knocking continued, three long knocks followed by two short ones, which was very unlucky.
Whenever there was a knock on the door, the patterns that Lin Yuan had covered behind the door would melt away like snow meeting the sun.
But as soon as the knocking stopped, Xiwen climbed up again.
The two supernatural phenomena have created a strange dynamic balance, and the ghostly thing knocking on the door is clearly unable to get in.
This level of intensity truly baffled Lin Yuan.
Something's not right, something's not right.
Lin Yuan frowned, then suddenly noticed something and his ears twitched.
This hotel is a chain hotel, and the soundproofing is not bad, but he clearly remembered that there were still shows in the town at midnight.
It's also a unique program in Taiping Ancient Town, and tourists who come here enthusiastically participate.
While I was waiting, I could hear noise coming in from outside the window.
But now, after the knocking sound, the sounds suddenly disappear, instantly muted.
"Knock knock knock! Knock knock!"
Another knock sounded, the same three long and two short knocks, but this time it clearly didn't come from the doorway.
It's a window!
Lin Yuan didn't need to turn around; he could sense the supernatural presence outside the window simply by looking at the patterns on the screen.
Not just windows.
Walls, ceiling, floor...
A barrage of knocking sounds came from all directions, even in places where there were no doors.
The theatrical patterns covering the entire room dissolved and melted away with the simultaneous knocking.
"What...what the hell is this thing?"
Li Fei's teeth were chattering, his eyes filled with terror. "It...they...they...they're in!"
laugh!
The room was completely dark; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Lin Yuan snorted coldly and banged the Ghost Bell hard.
Boom!
The dull chimes rippled through the air, spreading outwards.
The lights that had been off above their heads suddenly came on, allowing Li Fei and Zhang Xiao, who had just woken up, to see their surroundings.
people!
A dense crowd of people!
The fairly spacious bedroom was now packed with people, some even defying the laws of physics by "standing" on the walls, parallel to the ground.
Even on the ceiling, there were many people "standing" there.
But these people don't have normal human faces; they're all wearing masks.
These masks are painted with all sorts of facial features.
The characters depict joy, laughter, anger, and cursing... as well as skulls, ghosts, and other forms, making it quite complex.
Zhang Xiao only glanced at it before fainting again.
Li Fei suddenly looked at his hand, where he and Zhang Xiao had bought a mask from that strange street.
This mask, and the masks on these people's faces, are clearly the same style.
but.
This mask... wasn't it left at that boutique hotel and not brought with me?
When did this mask return to my hands?
As he looked at the mask, the facial features on it seemed to come alive; the painted eyes moved strangely and stared straight at Li Fei.
"Holy shit!"
As if struck by lightning, Li Fei flung the mask away, but it seemed to have an elasticity, bouncing back even faster after hitting the ground and covering Li Fei's face.
"what!"
A painful scream rang out, as if his entire face was being sliced by countless sharp blades. Li Fei could no longer care about taking care of Zhang Xiao and rolled around on the bed, clutching his head in his hands.
Lin Yuan quickly walked to the bedside and reached out to grab Li Fei's face.
He was very strong, and no matter how much Li Fei struggled, he couldn't break free from Lin Yuan's control.
The next moment, Li Fei's body stiffened, and he fell completely silent.
The performer removes the mask!
Lin Yuan raised his hand and removed the mask covering Li Fei's face, but his pupils shrank when he saw Li Fei's face clearly.
"Th-thank you..."
Li Fei struggled to sit up, thanked Lin Yuan, and then picked Zhang Xiao up again.
He was in a lot of pain; his whole body felt like it was falling apart.
Strangely, my face, which looked like it had been slashed by countless knives, no longer hurt at all, and even felt a cool, comfortable sensation.
Very strange.
However, he didn't care, as long as his girlfriend wasn't hurt.
"Xiaoxiao, you're awake? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Seeing his girlfriend wake up again in his arms, Li Fei quickly put on a bright smile.
However, when Zhang Xiao woke up and saw him, her eyes widened instantly.
What I found there was not the usual fondness or dependence, but rather an extreme, lucid fear.
fear?
Why do I feel this way?
"what!"
Zhang Xiao screamed and pushed Li Fei away, shrinking into the corner of the bed in fear, her eyes almost overflowing with terror.
Perhaps because she had already fainted several times from fright, she did not faint this time.
"Xiaoxiao, it's me, Li Fei..."
Li Fei, at a loss, wanted to comfort her, but as he tried to get closer, Zhang Xiao screamed, "Don't come any closer! You're not Li Fei! You, you're a ghost... Did you kill Li Fei? It was you, it was you... Waaah..."
Li Fei was stunned on the spot.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly took out his phone and opened the built-in camera.
When he saw his own face on the phone, he froze on the spot.
"My...my face..."
He raised his hand with trembling hands, and Li Fei on the phone also raised his hand, but the face he touched was no longer whole.
It wasn't that it suffered a knife-like cut that disfigured it beyond recognition; rather, something disappeared.
One eye, a nose, and two-thirds of a mouth...
It's like a painted face that the artist has erased part of, leaving the painting incomplete.
"ah!!!"
The phone fell to the ground, and Li Fei cried out in pain.
Just then, a large hand grabbed his hand and pressed the mask that had been removed onto his face.
The difference is that this mask has many more theatrical patterns on it, which can temporarily suppress the mask's supernatural power.
"If you don't want to die, keep quiet."
Lin Yuan snorted coldly. He didn't have time to pay any more attention to Li Fei, as the ghostly things around them were still there.
It should be a ghost slave.
The room was filled with masked people who fell completely silent with the chime of the ghost bell.
If it were a ghost, it wouldn't be possible to suppress it so easily.
It's a ghost slave!
At a glance, there are more than a hundred ghost slaves here.
The clothes they wore included those from this era, those from decades ago, and even those from the Republican era.
They included men and women, and people of different heights.
Lin Yuan raised the Ghost Bell again and struck it heavily.
"Thump!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
