Chapter 700 Painting Skin
The woman's scream disappeared in a short time, and there was only the sound of rain around. Lin Tianchu hid under the wall and carefully explored the house. Know yourself and know your enemy, and be undefeated in a hundred battles. Observe the means of faceless people. Maybe it can have some effect when you meet these monsters in the future. Lin Tianchu is not worried about the sneaker finding himself.
The light in the room was bleak. Through the wooden window, Lin Tianchu could see the back of an old woman. Her hands were stroking her head, and Lin Tianchu could not see it clearly behind. However, just as Lin Tianchu was surprised at what the monster was doing, the electric light in the room suddenly went out. Lin Tianchu heard the sound of stripping. In a short time, the hut became quiet, as if nothing had happened.
It's weird.
How could nothing have happened! Although I was injured and may have a slight cold, I would never have hallucinations. There were definitely a few sad screams in this house. It was a faceless person sneaking up on the villagers!
How can this old woman still sleep? ...No, is "she" still the old woman? No, if this dream is true, I may have found the truth that those villagers disappeared for no reason more than a hundred years ago!
This truth is a little cruel.
Previously, Lin Tianchu had some doubts. How could hundreds of people in a village disappear for no reason? Even if a hundred ducks line up to kill you, ordinary people will be numb. What's more, it is impossible to deal with the battlefield after the war without leaving a trace - unless it is not a person, but an organization, or an organized organization that cooperates in an orderly manner, otherwise it will not cause such a big tragedy. .
The scene in front of him undoubtedly gave Lin Tianchu another answer. The more than 100 villagers were not killed and slaughtered at all: they took the initiative to disappear by themselves, or they were slaughtered in another sense. When those people disappeared, they were not simple mountain people, but like the old woman in this room. Her body was still there, but her soul was changed. In other words, she is now a faceless person.
Just like the "painting skin" in Chinese mythology, the fox spirit in Liaozhai can become a human by drawing a human skin mask. Being some monsters in the Swan Lake can also devour the human soul and invade the human body and become human. In essence, there is no difference. Undoubtedly, the old woman in the room is dead. It is not a human who is sleeping now. Like the unlucky man who died under the fox spirit, Lin Tianchu can even imagine that when he gets up tomorrow morning, no one will find that the old woman has changed her soul.
What does a faceless man do when he becomes an old woman? Lin Tianchu didn't know what these guardians thought, but he was sure that the tragedy that happened in this mountain village more than a hundred years ago must also be related to the behavior of faceless people. Maybe at that time, he... um, or them? It is in this way that a village is slaughtered in one night. After all, no one will think that their loving mother, kind father, and filial children will take action on the people around them, right? Knowing people's face but not knowing the heart, the fortress is broken from the inside.
It seems that when he wakes up tomorrow morning, he should be more careful about the old woman living in the hut in the south of the village. Lin Tianchu smiled bitterly in his heart. He even suspected that there may be more than one faceless person. When they occupy the bodies of most of the villagers and launch a raid without letting a live escape, the tragedy of more than a hundred years ago will be repeated.
The prince's curse is about to begin again! - Or, it has already begun? The old woman is not the first, nor will she be the last. In the off-season of early autumn, the act of painting skin and changing the heart is the most difficult to be found, isn't it?
The hotel is not safe, and it is likely to have fallen... No, no, no, Lin Tianchu clearly remembers that his first dream happened in the hotel room, and the faceless woman who appeared there was not hostile to him! There are also faceless people who appear in Di Fei's dreams, which is the same! So it seems that faceless people are not all evil?
Lin Tianchu can't believe these conclusions. Now he is a little confused. Is the faceless man a guardian? Or, the faceless people in his dream are simply two different races? There is too little information to judge. This conclusion is undoubtedly very important. Lin Tianchu decided to go to the hotel to test it in person. Di Fei and the others are still there, aren't they?
......
After cleaning up his mood, Lin Tianchu quickly touched the hotel. What chilled him was that in less than five minutes, he heard three waves of screams, all of which happened in different houses in the village.
The iron door of the hotel was wide open, like a monster with a big mouth squatting there, which made people panic. After thinking about it, Lin Tianchu decided to take a detour from the backyard. He didn't know if there was anyone on duty in the lobby, whether that person had become a faceless person, or it was more reliable to go to the backyard to observe secretly.
I can't beat faceless people now, and there is no point in fighting for temptation, and the remote backyard is undoubtedly safer.
The hotel is a family-style hotel, so the backyard of the hotel is no different from the general rural courtyard. Except for the storage room for debris, it is the kitchen where the chef prepares to eat and the villagers' bedrooms. With a thunderbolt, Lin Tianchu found the stone steps in the woods, which were the stairs leading to the back door of the hotel. In the lens of the stone steps, Lin Tianchu found the lights that were obviously extinguished.
The light was still on, just like the old woman's house in the south of the village, but Lin Tianchu did not hear the screams. Stealing the window frame, Lin Tianchu found that the two figures were lying on the wooden table in the room in pajamas. Looking at their body shape and figure, it should be Mr. and Mrs. Deldo and Juliet.
Why did the owner of the hotel sleep in the bedroom when the door of the hotel opened? Coincidentally, the light was on and he slept on the chair next to the wooden table? It's not like they fell asleep... Are they dead or dizzy?
The wooden door couldn't stop Lin Tianchu. He simply made a clever effort. Lin Tianchu opened the not-so-so-strong wooden pin and gently squeezed in. The surroundings were very quiet, and there was no noise at all. Lin Tianchu paced carefully and touched the room.
"Deldo, Juliet, wake up!" Gently patting the two people on the shoulder, Lin Tianchu pressed his voice and whispered. The soft and warm feel made Lin Tianchu's mood relaxed a lot.
There was no response. It seemed that he was in a coma. Lin Tianchu frowned and was a little anxious. In the middle of the night, Lin Tianchu didn't know what had happened to the old couple, but he knew that it was very bad to leave them here. Not to mention whether there would be no faceless people coming to sneak attack, it was enough for the cold wind this night. He couldn't take care of them with them, right? He is going upstairs to explore Di Fei's room.
After thinking about it, Lin Tianchu finally decided to help the two couples to **. As for whether the faceless person will come, it will be life and death. Lin Tianchu can't control so much.
"Oh, it's really serious. I won't be so sick, will I?" As soon as his hand reached Deldo's waist, Lin Tianchu frowned and muttered that maybe he was seriously ill and had no strength. He couldn't hold Deldo, a half-hundred-hundred man.
After finally turning Deldo over, Lin Tianchu's eyes suddenly stared, and the bean-sized beads of sweat fell from his forehead and hit the floor with a crack.
Grass, this is not Deldo! Is this the body of a faceless person...?
Lin Tianchu took three or two steps in the back of his legs, and his heart poofed. Deldo, no, the faceless body rolled down from Lin Tianchu's arms and hit the stone table on his back... I actually touched the faceless person. No, this is not a faceless person. He seemed to be a soulless puppet without such a big movement. Wake up! No wonder I can't hold it. It turned out to be the hardest stone in the Alps.
Well, the guardian without a soul, what about his soul? It's not going to harm those villagers in the village, is it? No, no, no, they have occupied the bodies of Deldo and Juliet. There is no need for it! From this point of view, aren't these two people and the group of people outside the same? Are they guardians or faceless people?
The crux of the problem is not this. Whether they are good people or not, they don't have much to do with themselves. Tomorrow morning, I will leave with Di Fei and Elizabeth and leave that Elia here, damn old fox!
Lin Tianchu urged fiercely. By the way, Di Fei! If the target is not the villagers outside, the target of these two people can only be the passengers upstairs. Unfortunately, there are only three girls in the room on the second floor!
After thinking about it, Lin Tianchu opened the door and rushed to the guest room on the second floor.
