Predecessors

Chapter 22 Dead End

Lin Yi felt that the light hit his empty face like thousands of thorns. The fat black man took off his clothes, wrapped them tightly around Lin Yi's face, and walked forward holding his hand.He said firmly, "Uncle, let's go get your face back." The faceless people were afraid of the strong light, and could only watch them go away.

Lin Yi led the fat man to the secret room, "My face should be here." After the fat man locked the door, he immediately turned off the flashlight.Lin Yi felt that the tingling pain on his face disappeared a lot immediately. "You don't have to worry about me, just turn on the flashlight, in case they come again."

Hei Fatty said, "Uncle, I'm doing it to save electricity." In the hall just now, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yi's painful expression, and he wanted to smash the flashlight immediately.

The fat black man began to search carefully for the glass cover.He has good eyesight and can see clearly in the dark.

However, after the two searched carefully several times, they still did not see Lin Yi's face.The fat black man asked, "Uncle, are you sure you're here?"

Lin Yi nodded solemnly.He was sure his face had been taken.I came out with the faceless man just now, and my face was still immersed in the glass cover at that time.

There was a knock on the door by a faceless man.Lin Yi's heart tightened, now his face can't be retrieved for the time being, but he must save Fatty Hei's life no matter what. "You take the flashlight and go over to the gate."

The fatty black shook his head, "Uncle, I won't turn on the light until I get your face back."

Lin Yi slapped him, "Do you dare not listen to me?"

The black fat man smiled, "Well, from now on, I won't listen." He can't turn on the light. If the light is turned on, the person in front of him will die.

Lin Yi looked at him quietly for a while, "I beg you, go and turn on the light." Lin Yi knelt down, "This is the first time in my life that I beg for help. Promise me."

The fat man squatted down and gently stroked Lin Yi's soft hair.Finally, he kissed that empty but still beautiful face.Lin Yi's body softened, and he gradually fell down, "Why do you..."

The black fat man looked at the sleeping incense, "Uncle, you are really easy to be fascinated." Go to sleep, after waking up, you will find that everything is back to the original point.

The fat black man looked at the scalpel on the table, and he slashed at his face without hesitation. "Uncle, my face is ugly, I hope you don't dislike me."

Blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I'm still a little selfish. I want to give you my face. In the future, when you look in the mirror, you can think of me. A bloody face was covered After cutting it off, the fat man gently pressed him against Lin Yi's face.

Not long after, Lin Yi woke up. Seeing the empty face of the black fat man, he asked nervously, "Who cut off your face?"

The fat man said, "Uncle, I gave you my face so that you won't be afraid of the light."

Lin Yi saw his face in the mirror, it was that of a black fat man.Before he had time to say anything, the fat man pulled Lin Yi to open the door. The light from the flashlight made his face hurt, but he insisted on turning on the brightness to the maximum.The Faceless Man was quickly dispersed by the bright light.

The fat black man walked to the gate again.Lin Yi held his hand tightly, "Don't turn on the light."

Fatty Hei smiled and looked at Lin Yi, "Didn't I say that if Fatty Hei is going to die one day, don't save him."

Lin Yi widened his eyes and called out, "Wang Ji..."

Fatty Hei opened the gate without hesitation, and in an instant, the world brightened up.

As soon as the faceless man came into contact with the strong light, it melted quickly like a piece of lit paper.There was a pungent burnt smell in the air.

Lin Yi hugged Fatty Hei tightly, "Fatty Hei, Wang Ji, I won't let you die..."

The temperature of Fatty Hei's body became very high in an instant, so hot that Lin Yi's body seemed to be on fire.Lin Yi was soon fainted by the high temperature.

Fatty Hei pushed Lin Yi away with his last bit of strength. He felt his body was on fire, as if he was in a big melting pot, which was about to explode in the next second.He roared, and raging fire instantly surrounded his body, he struggled a lot, and soon lost consciousness from the pain.

At the same time, Mu Xiaofeng also became very restless. He ran to the next room and woke up Baishan and Yiwang.

Bai Shirt rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Who? Disturbing people's dreams."

Mu Xiaofeng said eagerly, "Something happened."

Relying on the induction between the human and the sword, Mu Xiaofeng led Baishan and Yiwang to the direction of the fat man.

In the narrow alley, there are traces of fire all over.

Yi Wang kicked the fallen wood, "The evil spirit here is so strong."

In a dark corner, a little faceless monster was trembling, and the white shirt grabbed him, "Where is the person who came yesterday?"

The little faceless monster trembled and said, "Don't kill me, I don't know anything."

Baishan said, "Say it or not, or I will kill you."

Little Faceless said, "The elder brought a new prey, but then it caught fire, so I don't know where it is."

On the empty ground, a scorched brown object attracted Mu Xiaofeng's attention.It flew closer and let out a mournful cry, "Master, master."

When Bai Shirt saw Fatty Hei's appearance, his heart instantly turned cold.The person in front of him didn't have a good skin, and his facial features couldn't tell the shape, but what was worse was that even so, the white shirt recognized at a glance that the person in front of him was the fat black man.

Yi Wang looked around carefully, "Strange, where did Lin Yi go?"

Lin Yi struggled a bit, but still couldn't open his eyes.He felt very tired, as if he had been asleep for a long time.His throat was dry, probably caused by excessive dehydration.

He You looked at him quietly for a while, "You're awake." He handed him a glass of water.

Lin Yi couldn't use his strength, he opened his mouth and let the water flow into his throat vertically.

He finally opened his eyes.What came into view was a slender and slender hand, and looking up, a pale man was looking at him.

A few broken words were squeezed out of the dry throat, "Wang... Ji..."

He Xu's eyebrows twitched, and he silently took back the water glass, "I'm not Wang Ji."

Lin Yi took a closer look, and the man in front of him had the same face as Wang Ji, but his temperament was completely different.His face was as pale as rice paper, with dark eyes and gorgeous lips. "then who are you?"

"Why should I?"

Lin Yi found himself lying on a stone bed with a thin quilt covering his body, "Where am I?"

He Xu smiled, as if ink marks had smeared on the rice paper, "My home."

Lin Yi asked anxiously, "Where is the black fat man?"

Why bother to say, "He's dead."

Lin Yi stood up abruptly from the bed. He remembered that the fat man had given his face to him, and said eagerly, "Give me the mirror."

Why need to conjure up a mirror, suspended above Lin Yi's face.

Lin Yi looked straight at the mirror, and the face printed there was not the face of the black fat man, but his own face.

Lin Yi hesitated for a while, suspecting that his experience in Faceless Country was just an illusory nightmare.But the burning pain in his body proved that it was not a dream.

He Xu put a wet towel on Lin Yi's forehead, and touched his face with his hands, "You were burned by the high temperature, I'm afraid it will take a while to recover."

Lin Yi shook off his hand, "Who are you?" Why do you look exactly like Wang Ji.

Why didn't he speak, and pushed the wheelchair away.He couldn't answer Lin Yi's question.Even if he said it, he wouldn't believe it.

Beautiful trees are verdant, exotic flowers are in full bloom, and a clear stream flows from the depths of the flowers and trees under the crevices of the rocks.The water droplets splashed from the clear spring on the stone wall fell into the pool, tick, tick...

After Zhao Liu shook off the sweet-scented osmanthus, he picked off the small branches and leaves, put it in the sun for a while, and put it in an iron box, adding it to the tea leaves to make tea for Hexu.

He Xu pushed the wheelchair out of the house, smelled the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and sighed, "Drink the light tea warm, the fragrance is nourishing."

Zhao Liu put the extra sweet-scented osmanthus into the pouch and handed it to He Xu, "Master's favorite is sweet-scented osmanthus."

He Needed to open the sachet, sniff it, and said with satisfaction, "Take the sachet and give it to the person in the house."

Zhao Liu said no more, and walked into the house with the sachet.He put the sachet on Lin Yi's bedside table.

Lin Yi didn't like the strong fragrance, so he threw the sachet on the ground, "Ask your master, when will you let me go?"

Zhao Liu lowered his head, "Mr. Lin, the master just wants Mr. Liu to enjoy the sweet-scented osmanthus."

Lin Yi sighed, "I want to talk to him."He doesn't understand many things.Why did he shut himself up here, and why did he look so similar to Wang Ji.

There was a sound of wheels rolling by, and Lin Yi saw from the window that He Needed to push the wheelchair past.He looked better than a few days ago, his face was full of radiance, and he looked more like Wang Ji.

Lin Yi shouted out the window, "Why, I want to talk to you."

He Needed to push the wheelchair paused, but did not speak.

Lin Yi shouted again, "Don't pretend to be deaf, answer me."

He Bi didn't look back, and pushed the wheelchair away.

The next day, Lin Yi saw Zhao Liu carrying an osmanthus tree to his window, and planted it in the dug earth pit.The sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus instantly spread throughout the room.

Lin Yi asked, "Why did you plant the osmanthus tree here?"

Zhao Liu said, "This is what the master meant." Yesterday, Zhao Liu returned the sachet that Lin Yi didn't want to He Xu. I love sweet-scented osmanthus, so I will plant the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in front of his eyes."

Lin Yi said disdainfully, "This is to retaliate against me for throwing away his sachet." No wonder he called him yesterday, but he pretended not to hear and left.

Why did he go around the yard, but still entered Lin Yi's room.Lin Yi was watering a pot of aloe in the house.He need to put the sachet on the table, "It seems that Mr. Lin will accept it only if I deliver it in person."

Lin Yi took the sachet and smelled a rotten smell. He opened it and found that the petals inside had turned yellow.

He need to laugh, "Yesterday it was still very fresh and tender, but today it has become such a ruined look."

Lin Yi frowned, "If you sincerely want to give it away, why don't you pick fresh flower petals and send it?"

He Xu rubbed his fingers on the handle, "There is absolutely no reason to take back what I gave away."

Lin Yi said helplessly, "Who are you?"

He Xu tilted his head, "It's just a disabled person with some magic power." Lin Yi glanced at his legs covered with a thin blanket, but didn't speak.

He Xu said again, "I keep you here because I like you. I hope you like me too."

Lin Yi said mockingly, "You are dreaming."

He Su smiled.A person who doesn't like the strong fragrance of osmanthus, if he faces the osmanthus tree every day, over time, he will feel that the fragrance of other flowers is bland.Habits are a terrible thing.He wants to make his own existence a habit of Lin Yi, an indelible part of him.

At dinner time, there was a table of dishes on the stone table. Lin Yi had been hungry all day, so he sat down on the table impatiently, but found that there were no bowls and chopsticks on the table.He said unhappily to Zhao Liu, "How can I eat without bowls and chopsticks."

Zhao Liu said flatly, "Mr. Lin, the master wants to have dinner with you tonight."

Lin Yi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Can't you give me a pair of chopsticks first?" Could it be that he has to wait until He Bi arrives before starting.

Zhao Liu said, "When the master comes to the table, the subordinates will definitely present you with bowls and chopsticks."

After a while, He Needed came pushing the wheelchair. He gestured, and Zhao Liu immediately set up the dishes.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him, "You are quite airy, so ask me, a guest, to wait for you for dinner."

He Xu smiled, "If I had given you the bowls and chopsticks earlier, I'm afraid you would not want to eat with me."

After Lin Yi put the food into a bowl, Xinxin stepped down from the table, "Now I still won't eat at your table."

He Needed looked at Lin Yi who was eating by the bed, and smiled kindly, "Yi Jun, why are you still acting like a child?"

Lin Yi silently stopped eating, looked up at He Xu, "What did you call me just now?"

He Xu didn't answer, put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl, and chewed slowly.Lin Yi stepped forward and snatched his chopsticks rudely, "Why do you call me Yi Jun?"

Why bother to say, "I can call when I want to. Is there anyone who stipulates that the word "Yi Jun" can only be called by Wang Ji?"

Lin Yi shoved the chopsticks back into his hands with relief, "I said, how do you know, it turns out that you are imitating Wang Ji."

He Xu's lips trembled slightly, and a surge of anger quickly ignited from the bottom of his heart.He let out a low growl, and the stone table was instantly shattered in half, and the dishes smacked all over the floor.

He Su pushed the wheelchair and approached Lin Yi, only to see his brows tightened and his veins exposed, no doubt he was really angry.Lin Yi took a step back involuntarily, why bother snatched his bowl away, and said expressionlessly, "Zhao Liu, go to the kitchen to add some food to Mr. Lin."

Zhao Liu hurriedly took the bowl, and at the same time thought to himself, he was afraid that Lin Yi would not be full, so why bothered to smack the table.It is thanks to the master that such contradictory things can be done.
