Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 212 Mask

The car arrived soon. It was an inconspicuous residential building, which was very easy to find. Wu Xie felt that it might be the same as the one in Chengdu before, with hidden caves inside.

After knocking on the door, he found that the room was very dark. A skinny woman appeared from inside. At first glance, he couldn't tell whether she was a man or a woman. She was wearing very Chinese clothes and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Wu Xie didn't know what to say, so she showed Xie Yuchen's text message to her, and she said, "Master Hua, I understand."

Said to let him in.

As soon as he entered the room, he could smell a strong smell of stagnant room. The room was very clean, but it seemed that the windows hadn't been opened for a long time, and the light was very dim.

Wu Xie looked around and found that there was a huge makeup mirror on one side of the room, and all around were cabinets.There are also many things that seem to be in a hair salon.

The woman took out a box from the inner room and put it in front of him.

"It's something Master Hua'er gave you."

It was a thin ceramic box the size of a mooncake box. Wu Xie smiled wryly, opened the box carefully, and was stunned for a moment.

The box contained brocade, and on the brocade was a thin layer of something that looked like dough at first glance.But upon closer inspection, it was a human skin mask.

Although he has seen Yi Rong, this is the first time Wu Xie has seen a real human skin mask. It turned out to be such a food-like texture. He was amused, but he didn't know what it meant.

So Wu Xie asked the girl, "What does this mean?" But he found that the girl ignored him at all. He pinched the human skin and found it was quite strong, so he picked it up from the box and flattened it in front of him.

This flattening made Wu Xie break out in a cold sweat.He recognized whose face it was.

This is Uncle San's face.

Wu Xie understood what Yuchen meant.He understood it all at that moment, but he couldn't believe it.

He prepared a third uncle's human skin mask for him.He wouldn't be trying to show him Disguise.

He was thinking, let him wear it.

Wu Xie suddenly admired him very much. He was thousands of miles away, knew the situation here, and made the most accurate judgment.

He knew that no matter how hard Wu Xie tried, no matter how Wu Xie tried to find his old relationship, the whole thing would be irreparable. The third uncle's power in Changsha had completely collapsed and turned into countless small interest groups. people, able to direct them.

The only way is for third uncle to come back.

But the third uncle can't come back, so what should we do?

They, come to create a third uncle.

However, looking at this human skin mask, Wu Xie suddenly felt that a chill came up from the soles of his feet, making him tremble for no reason.

Wu Xie didn't know whether it was because of fear, panic, excitement or other emotions. In fact, at this moment, countless emotions in his body completely collapsed, and countless scenes appeared in his mind, some of which were three. Uncle, if he became the third uncle, facing everyone, and when he was alone, his mind would be confused.

At the same time, the faces of the little brother, Mengli, Fatty, and Aning kept interspersed in it.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment, Wu Xie immediately calmed down, his palms began to sweat, and he began to think about this issue calmly.

After a few seconds, he understood his choice.

There is no choice.

"How do you wear this thing?" Wu Xie asked the girl.

"If you are willing to wear it, I will help you put it on. The whole process takes four hours and can last for four weeks. Have you made up your mind?"

Wu Xiexin said that enough is enough, he just needs to rescue them: "Is it realistic?"

"Here, after I help you put it on, you can judge for yourself." The girl pointed to a reclining chair and asked Wu Xie to lie down.

Wu Xie walked over and lay down. She immediately covered his face with the human skin mask. At that moment, the words of the third uncle suddenly sounded in his ears:

Some masks are worn for too long and cannot be removed.

Wu Xie was in the toilet of the small hotel, looking at his face in the mirror.

For a long, long time, he didn't have any thoughts, he just looked at the person in the mirror.

That person is familiar, but he is not him.

It was a strange feeling, a mixture of "escape" and "fear".

He seemed to use this face to "escape" his fate as Wu Xie, but entered a "life" that was even more uncontrollable.

This uncontrollability is truly uncontrollable, including countless possibilities.

It is almost impossible for Wu Xie to predict what his future life will be like.

At first, even when he wasn't facing the mirror, he would tremble slightly.

It's much better now, a lot of things, at first you find it unacceptable, but once you accept it, that's all.

"I'm just giving you a skin. In addition to wearing this mask on your face, you also need to wear it on your heart." Before leaving, the girl looked at Wu Xie lightly and said this talk.

Wear it on my heart?Wu Xie looked at "Third Uncle" in the mirror, touched his heart, and wondered if Xie Lianhuan had been taught like this when he put on the mask of Third Uncle.

But after so many years, he has really put it on. What if the mask on his face can be torn off and worn on his heart?

Wu Xie took out a set of clothes from the closet. It was given to him by the girl. It was the kind of antique coat that the third uncle liked to wear.

Taking off his T-shirt and changing into that suit, Wu Xiexin said: Xiaohua's service is really thoughtful and fits perfectly.

Thinking of this, I sent him a text message: "Thank you." But there was no reply.

The moment he walked out of the door, Wu Xie deliberately straightened his back, reminding himself that after leaving this door, he is another person.

However, soon, he realized that he didn't need to be deliberate, as he walked on the road, his pace changed by itself. When he passed by the lobby, he looked in the mirror of his clothes and found that there was an unusual coldness in his eyes.

Some masks are worn for too long and cannot be removed.
