Chapter 21 The Land of No Faces

The night hung down from the 24-story building, and the whole building was pitch black, as if absorbing all the light in the world.The moon in the sky disappeared, and there was not even a single star. The moisture slowly infiltrated the air, spreading out a terrifying atmosphere.

They walked into the tall building, which was also pitch black.The mixed air was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol, and the fat man heard the voices, screams, and footsteps of all kinds of people.The fat black man asked the white shirt, "Is there no light here?"

Baishan said, "Forget about your eyes for now, try to experience the real world with your nose, ears, and hands."

The white shirt handed something to the black fat man, and the black fat man felt like a wine glass, "I don't drink." The white shirt said, "This is not wine, it's fruit juice." The cold liquid was shaking in the glass, and the black fat man raised his head to drink It is tasteless like boiled water.

An arm wrapped around the fat man's neck from behind, and a thin female voice came, "Are you alone?" The fat man shook off her hand, "Go away." The woman smiled, "It's a pity It's too dark here, I can't let you see me, or you would have knelt under my skirt." The fat man said, "Go away, stay away from me."

Suddenly, the deafening music sounded, and the people fell into a carnival, twisting their bodies to their heart's content.In the absolute darkness, people tore off the fig leaf, revealing their naked desires.

The fat black man was constantly pushed by the crowd.He called out, "White shirt." There was no response.

Wrapping his hands around the fat black man's waist, "Little brother, I caught you again." It was the same thin female voice.Fatty Hei wanted to shake her off, but found that he was so limp that he couldn't use his strength.He suddenly thought of the colorless and odorless liquid that the white shirt handed him. There was something wrong with that glass of water.

The woman's hand slowly moved up from his waist, and finally moved to his neck.She laughed and scraped the fat black man's flesh with her sharp nails, like a disgusting mosquito biting his neck. "Get your dirty hands off of me."

The woman's voice became sharper, "You think I'm dirty? Well, I'll make you dirty to the end." She kissed the fat black man's neck, and the fat black man struggled feebly, sympathizing with himself for his troubles Difficult neck, might as well pick it with your nails just now.

The woman's hands kept wandering around the fat black man, one hand lifted his clothes, and the other reached into his pants.The fat black man couldn't bear it anymore, a force burst out from his body, and threw the woman to the ground.

The woman quickly got up from the ground and pounced like a fat black man again.The fat black man ran away.The woman roared, "Catch him." The people next to her stopped dancing and pushed the fat man to the ground with all their strength.Fatty Hei felt that his hands and feet were caught and he couldn't move.

The woman touched the fat black man's face and kissed him on the lips.The fat black man turned his head to one side and sneered, "I warn you, get off of me." With the last of his strength, he fumbled something out of his trouser belt.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shone in the darkness.

The fat black man held a flashlight in his hand, lighting up the boundless darkness.Those who held down the fat man ran away one after another.The fat man pointed the flashlight directly at the woman. Under the light, her face was as flat as a piece of white paper. Where the eyes, nose, and mouth should have been, there was only a blank space.The fat black man shone the flashlight on the other people, and found that none of them had facial features, and their faces were empty.

Lin Yi heard the sound of closing the door, woke up from his sleep, looked to the side, and the black fat man was gone.He put on his clothes and quickly followed.

Lin Yi followed the white shirt and the black fat man into several corners, and finally saw them stop in front of an inconspicuous small door.He just wanted to stop the two of them, but found that they had already entered the door.He quickly followed into the door, only to find that the two of them had disappeared.

Lin Yi walked along the path and walked out of the huge hole.

Lin Yi looked at the black tall buildings in front of him, and he thought of an image in his mind: the night was thick, like black and cold blood flowing from a rotting corpse, winding and covering the sky and the earth.The tall buildings are blurred by the darkness, and from a distance, they look like bloody faces.

He entered the house and saw people dancing wildly in the dark, a trace of worry welled up in his heart, "Black fat man, black fat man."

"Lin Yi, why are you here?" Bai Shan stopped him.

Lin Yi immediately blamed, "How can you bring your child to this kind of place?"

Baishan smiled, "I just brought my children to the bar to see the world."

Lin Yi said, "Where is he?"

Baishan said, "He's dancing there, I'll take you there."

Lin Yi followed, halfway there, he felt something was wrong, the black fat man was so clumsy that he couldn't dance.He is lying to himself.Lin Yi quietly hid a silver needle between his fingers, "Who are you?"

Baishan sneered, "Lin Yi, don't even think about leaving if you come today."

Before Lin Yi's silver needle could fly out, it fell down.The man in front of him is not in white shirt.Black fat man is in danger.

The fat black man kept waving the flashlight.Those faceless people are afraid of light, so they only dare to surround him from a distance.The fat black man was anxious, the battery wouldn't last long.The faceless man saw that the light was dim, so he boldly approached the fat man.

The only way to solve the dilemma is to find the light.

The fat black man took a flashlight and looked around, only to see solid walls on all sides, without a single window.He walked forward slowly, looking for a place where the light could pass through.Seeing him walking forward, the faceless man didn't back down, and the distance between the two sides was one step closer.

The black fat man blinked, "Do you hate this thing, I can turn it off, as long as you let me go."

The faceless man whispered, and after a while, he made way for him.The fat black man didn't walk towards the passage, but walked towards the place where the faceless people were most densely surrounded.Every time he took a step there, the faceless people gathered tighter.

The black fat man swept in that direction with a flashlight, and found the electric switch on that wall.As long as the switch is pulled, the electrical system of the whole building can be restored.

"White shirt" carried Lin Yi into a secret room.I saw that the room was full of transparent glass covers, which were filled with water, soaking each face.

"White Shirt" regained his true appearance, and turned out to be a faceless man.He looked at Lin Yi's face obsessively, and said to himself, "What a fresh and refined face." He opened the tool box, and there were scissors, tweezers, cotton swabs and other operating tools in it, all of which were not needed in the face peeling operation. Lack of.He sprayed a burst of water mist on Lin Yi's face first to coagulate the blood and prevent bleeding during the excision.Then he took out the knife and slashed at Lin Yi's face.

Soon, Lin Yi's face was completely cut off.The Faceless Man is satisfied with keeping his face in the glass cover, which is definitely his most satisfying masterpiece.

After the effect of the medicine wore off, Lin Yi gradually woke up. He stared at the faceless man defensively, ready to poke him into a sieve with a silver needle at any time.The Faceless Man smiled kindly, "You don't have to be afraid, we are all your own people." Lin Yi shouted, "Who is your own person." The Faceless Man kindly handed Lin Yi a mirror.

Lin Yi was stunned, he had no face in the mirror.The faceless man pointed to one of the glass covers, and he actually saw his own face inside.Lin Yi rushed forward and hit with all his strength, trying to retrieve his face, but the glass cover remained motionless.

The fat man swore, "If you let me go, I'll turn off the flashlight." The faceless man didn't move, watching his every move closely.

The fat black man said to the faceless man closest to him, "Come here, I'll give you the flashlight." The faceless man hesitated for a while, then walked towards the fat black man.When he walked to his side, the black fat man suddenly turned off the flashlight.It was dark again all around.A large group of faceless people immediately rushed towards the fat black man.

In the darkness, the black fat man slipped away silently from behind.That poor faceless man seemed to have become his own scapegoat, being torn apart frantically by his own compatriots.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the fat man quickly approached the gate, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the light would be restored here.

The faceless man in the room came out and said to the fat man coldly, "Do you really want to turn on the light?"

The black fat man smiled triumphantly, "Aren't you afraid of light? If the whole world is full of light, you won't be able to live soon, right?"

The Faceless Man said, "Look carefully at who the person next to me is."

Lin Yi's voice lost his usual calmness, "Fatty black."

Fatty Hei was shocked, and he shone the flashlight on Lin Yi.Even though Lin Yi lost his face, the fat man still recognized him at a glance. "Uncle, your face?"

Lin Yi tremblingly said, "Turn on the light. As long as you turn on the light, you will be saved."

The fat black man lowered his hand from under the gate, but he couldn't.He couldn't possibly sacrifice the life of the man in front of him.

The faceless man laughed, "If you turn on the light, your uncle will die with us." Lin Yi raised his voice, "Turn on the light." The fat man didn't move.

The faceless people found out that they had been deceived, and rushed towards the fat black man one after another.The fat black man pointed his flashlight at the faceless man, and they slowed down in fear.Fatty Hei wanted to grab Lin Yi's hand, "Uncle, come with me."

With a snap, the battery died, and the light of the flashlight struggled to go out.The faceless people no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the fat black man like a group of zombies, trying to tear him into pieces.

Fatty Hei felt that Lin Yi held his hand, which was cold, as if he had lost the temperature forever.The fat black man shed tears, "Uncle, do you know that I love you."

Lin Yi's voice trembled, "If you really love me, turn on the light."

The fat man said, "Uncle, I won't turn on the light."

"why?"

The fat black man took out something from his pocket, "Because I still have spare batteries." The flashlight emitted a brighter and stronger light than before, forcing the faceless man to back away quickly.
