Chapter 228 Face Painting
Chapter 228: Face Painting

"Do not touch me!"

Lu Guo slapped Jiang Li's hand away, and a huge chill enveloped his body.

Who is this?
Why did Jiang Li's face suddenly turn into his?
Who the hell is this man!
Lu Guo held his head, feeling a splitting headache.

This face clearly gave him a sense of familiarity, but strangely he couldn't remember who this person was.

"Lu Guo..."

Jiang Li called out in a low voice. She was also frightened by Lu Guo’s strange behavior.

Why did he become so scared after taking a look at himself?
Is it possible that... my face is weird?

Jiang Li reached out and touched his face, but didn't feel anything unusual.

Lu Guo hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Li.

A neutral face appeared before him.

Lu Guo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's back to normal... Jiang Li's face has returned to normal...

But when he thought of that familiar yet unfamiliar face, Lu Guo was like a frightened bird.

"go back……"

Lu Guo murmured that he no longer wanted to stay outside the village.

"What did you say?" Jiang Li didn't quite hear what Lu Guo said suddenly.

"I said go back!" Lu Guo suddenly felt a little annoyed. This damn mission was nothing like what he had expected.

Logically speaking, the mission officially started early this morning, and the mission was carried out in the village. There should be no illusory phenomena outside the village.

But he was wrong.

The abnormality of this village is not caused by the fog, but the village itself is full of weirdness!
He should have thought of this earlier...

Yes, Bai Yanliang and the others should have known it a long time ago. After all, the illusory phenomenon occurred before they reached the village.

The bodies of the five people that floated away in the river were the best evidence.

It's ridiculous that he still holds on to the stubborn idea that it's safe outside the village before the mission even begins.

"Don't keep wandering around outside the village. We need to go back... go back and find them."

Lu Guo's attitude was very firm and he already felt uneasy.

Weird things happened right next to me, I can't stay in this place anymore...

Jiang Li didn't say anything. In fact, she had no idea what was wrong with Lu Guo. He suddenly started yelling and his emotions were somewhat out of control.

Based on her understanding of Lu Guo, he was not that kind of person.

However, if Lu Guo insisted on entering the village now, she would have no way to refuse. After all, she was more afraid of being alone than seeing ghosts in the village.

……

in the room.

After Xu Zhifei said that his body was rotting, the atmosphere began to become very strange.

Yu Wenxuan kept a slight distance from him. Although he didn't say anything, his attitude was very clear.

Bai Yanliang also remained silent. He was thinking.

Xu Zhifei's transformation began after she saw her own face on the shroud.

Then, her body turned invisible and began to decay.

This made Bai Yanliang come up with a very bad guess.

That is, when she saw her own face on the shroud, could it be that she had been cursed?

The effect of that curse was to make her completely disappear and die.

If that's the case... then the problem must be with the shroud hanging at the door.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the yard outside the door. Yu Wenxuan and Bai Yanliang immediately tensed up and moved closer to the window, ready to break through and escape at any time.

Then... in the courtyard outside the door, the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and it sounded like... there was more than one person.

Yu Wenxuan pressed his body against the door and looked out quietly through the crack.

After seeing the people coming, he relaxed his guard a little and said, "It's Lu Guo and Jiang Li."

The door was opened.

An old man in a cloak appeared outside the door.

"Go in."

There was something unmistakable in her old voice.

Lu Guo and Jiang Li glanced at Bai Yanliang and Yu Wenxuan in the house, immediately thanked them, and went into the house.

Then the door was closed again.

Step... step... the footsteps are getting farther and farther away.

The strange old man left again.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to stay outside the village until the early morning before entering the village?"

Yu Wenxuan glanced at the two of them, but didn't pay much attention to them.

Lu Guo looked a little strange, as if he was being chased by something, and said hurriedly:
"There's a problem! There's something wrong with this village!"

"Everyone knows this. Can you tell us something we don't know?" Yu Wenxuan asked while sitting on the bed and crossing his legs.

Lu Guo didn't care about his attitude. He swallowed and said, "Just now, when Jiang Li and I were circling the village, I accidentally glanced into the village and saw... a person, a man!"

"Oh? Do you know him?"

Yu Wenxuan asked with interest.

“I… I don’t know him!” Lu Guo looked very strange. “I can’t explain it clearly. I’ve never seen that face before, but I feel inexplicably familiar with it.”

"When I saw that person, I turned my head subconsciously. By the time I realized what was happening, he had disappeared. Then, I heard Jiang Li calling me, and I looked up..." At this point, Lu Guo glanced at Jiang Li again, "The face of Jiang Li at that time was his, that stranger..."

Jiang Li widened her eyes. On the way back just now, Lu Guo had been very silent and never talked to her about these things. She had no idea that so many strange things had happened in such a short period of time.

After listening to Lu Guo's story, she finally understood why Lu Guo looked at her with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Her face unexpectedly turned into the face of another person she didn't recognize at all...

Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Li also got goose bumps.

Face, face again.

After listening to Lu Guo's words, Bai Yanliang had a question.

He suddenly looked up, stared at Lu Guo, and asked, "Think carefully, you are sure that it was a stranger, but you have a strange sense of familiarity, right?"

Lu Guo nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Bai Yanliang took out a notebook and started writing and drawing on it quickly.

Several people focused their eyes on him, wanting to see what he had thought of.

At this time, Jiang Li wrinkled his nose and asked, "There is a faint odor, do you smell it?"

As soon as Bai Yanliang stopped writing, he felt Xu Zhifei's hands were shaking violently.

"Look, isn't it like this?"

Bai Yanliang interrupted Jiang Li's curiosity and raised the sketch in his hand towards Lu Guo.

Lu Guo looked at the notebook in Bai Yanliang's hand. After seeing the person drawn by Bai Yanliang, he almost screamed. Fortunately, Yu Wenxuan stopped him.

"It's not exactly like that, but that's how it feels! How did you do it?"

Lu Guo looked at Bai Yanliang in disbelief. How could he draw this strange person just by his own description?
Although this person looked different from the one he had met, the feeling he gave Lu Guo was exactly the same.

Although it's strange, it feels strangely familiar...

Bai Yanliang put down his notebook and said, "It feels very familiar, but I don't know where I have seen it before. It's actually very simple, because I drew this person based on your appearance."
