Chapter 28 The Face Under the Bandage

Lin Zhenzhen was stunned, and her tears stopped all of a sudden. She subconsciously touched her face. The bandage had a slightly rough texture, and because it was wet with tears, it felt cold.

The tears that flowed were clearly scalding hot, but the heat was quickly absorbed away, leaving only a cold face.

It was a bit uncomfortable. The bandage was wet and dry, sticky and stiff, and stuck tightly to my face.

But, how can we solve it?

Lin Zhenzhen tried her best to forget the face she saw in the mirror every day, but she couldn't help but think of that extremely disgusting face every day.

Her stomach churned and she felt like vomiting.

But he couldn't vomit anything out and could only retch.

Now, she felt nauseous again.

She lowered her hands from her face and covered her stomach instead.

Her back was hunched, with an arc that was too thin.

The shoulder blades on the back seemed to be about to pierce through the thin layer of flesh, looking sad and pale.

"……Do not."

Lin Zhenzhen's throat rolled several times before she finally uttered a word vaguely.

But it was a clear refusal.

……

As expected, Xiao Xiao sighed.

Although he never thought that Lin Zhenzhen would do as he said, he could not help but hope so.

I really thought too much.

However, in fact, it is very difficult to convince Lin Zhenzhen, but it is also very easy.

"Do you want to heal your face?" Xiao Xiao asked softly, his voice gentle, but with an inexplicable temptation.

"I do!" Lin Zhenzhen blurted out without thinking.

How could she not think about it? She thought about it day and night, every minute of every day.

But what's the use of just thinking about it?

Lin Zhenzhen became even more depressed.

During this period of time, Lin Zhenzhen became irritable, sensitive, fragile, and even a little neurotic.

Not only herself, but also her parents were exhausted by her.

She felt like she was going to break down.

"If you want to, why don't you want to try?"

"I told you I might be able to fix your face."

"You shouldn't give up hope."

"Now you can only trust me."

Xiao Xiao's words were not very tactful, but they directly pointed out the bloody facts.

Lin Zhenzhen is currently in a desperate situation, so she should not give up any hope, even if this may be only a one percent chance, but she must give 100 percent of her energy to it.

Temporary pain may be exchanged for "spring flowers blooming" in the future, so why not give it a try?

“.…..” Lin Zhenzhen’s voice was so vague and thick that it was hard to hear what she said.

But her rapidly trembling eyelashes revealed some of her inner pain and struggle.

"You can think of this as a doctor's consultation."

"I am a doctor and you are a patient. Don't be afraid to seek medical treatment."

"Your face can't stand any delay."

"This is already the worst situation, what are you still worried about?"

……

Xiao Xiao spoke one sentence at a time, and every time he spoke, Lin Zhenzhen trembled slightly as if she was frightened.

“.…..Okay.” The voice was barely audible, but Xiao Xiao, who had been paying attention to Lin Zhenzhen, heard it clearly.

A relieved smile appeared on Xiao Xiao's face.

Finally it makes sense.

"Do you need my help?"

Lin Zhenzhen shook her head.

His slightly trembling hands were placed behind his head with a bit of uneasiness.

Xiao Xiao didn't urge him.

He believed in Lin Zhenzhen. Since she had made the decision, she would not run away.

……

The bandages were untied one by one.

Lin Zhenzhen's face gradually appeared.

It can't even be called a human face. The face is covered with horrifying black and purple pimples, how can you even tell what the facial features are?
Moreover, as the bandage slipped off, a foul odor spread out, which was so nauseating.

Xiao Xiao's face twisted for a moment, but soon returned to being expressionless.

He even took a few steps forward and bent down to get closer to the face.

……

Even though Lin Zhenzhen agreed to remove the bandage, she felt like she was being forced by Xiao Xiao.

She looked up at Xiao Xiao with a bit of malice.

The man with bad intentions was waiting to see Xiao Xiao get into trouble.

However, Xiao Xiao who suddenly approached her made her feel embarrassed.

Under the gaze of those deep and calm eyes, her whole body stiffened. She had a feeling that she was exposed, which made her feel helpless and scared.

I was a little confused. Wasn't he afraid? Wasn't he disgusted?
Such a face?

She vomited every time she watched it, and every time she watched it, her inner despair deepened.

She didn't know how many mirrors she had broken.

The sharp edges, the flashing cold light, the bright red blood, and the shattered lenses reflected her hideous face like a demon.

She began to have nightmares, endless nightmares.

In the dream, there seemed to be an unknown bird chirping, as if it was crying and laughing. The bone-chilling cold gripped her entire mind. She could not struggle, and there was no hope of calling for help. In the end, she could only let herself fall into the abyss and be swallowed by the darkness.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at Lin Zhenzhen's face carefully.

The black air seems to be getting thicker...

He still remembered the last time the black energy attacked him. The palpitations at that time were still unforgettable. Although he didn't know what happened, it seemed that it didn't cause any harm to him in the end.

But you can tell from the looks of it that it's not a good thing.

Xiao Xiao was extremely cautious and approached Lin Zhenzhen's face cautiously.

The black gas was surging, constantly flowing in and out of the lumps.

The bumps revealed by the occasional dispersal of black air were bigger than the last time I saw them. They were a deep purple like black. The skin on the bumps was stretched so tight that it was almost transparent. A hint of blood seeped into the deep color, making people worry that they would burst at the next moment.

Xiao Xiao remembered the yellow pus that flowed out when Lin Zhenzhen scratched the pimple last time. It was smelly and sticky, and it couldn't be more disgusting.

The black gas seemed to be stimulated by something and gradually began to boil.

Xiao Xiao subconsciously wanted to step back, but he seemed to remember something and his body did not move, but his eyes became more profound.

There was a faint golden light in the dark eyes, like a swimming fish, swaying its body nimbly and shuttling in Xiao Xiao's pupils.

The golden light became stronger and stronger, gradually occupying Xiao Xiao's entire eyeball.

The black energy suddenly shrank, as if it had been frightened or threatened by something, and had to retract all its claws and fangs.

Even the lumps that were trapped were exposed.

Lin Zhenzhen's face became clearer.

If this is true, there must be some changes in myself that I am not aware of.

Although Xiao Xiao was eager to study this confirmed speculation, Lin Zhenzhen's matter was the most important at the moment.

However, in this case, Xiao Xiao felt more confident.

Does this mean he has a certain ability to protect himself? With the addition of the Demon Mirror, he should be able to handle most situations, right?

Xiao Xiao straightened up, it was indeed a monster causing trouble.

I just don’t know what kind of monster it is?
Xiao Xiao’s current understanding of monsters is still very limited.

He once again regretted not bringing the Demon Mirror with him. He always felt that the Demon Mirror would tell him something.

It seems that it will happen again.

……

"I'm sure."

"But some things are still unconfirmed. I need to go back and check."

"I'll come back this afternoon."

Lin Zhenzhen had no objection to this. She had already seen it once. Not to mention watching it again, it didn't matter if she watched it a few more times.

However, she seemed to be hesitant to speak, wanting to ask but not daring to.

She was extremely anxious and scared.

But Xiao Xiao looked gentle and calm, and didn't say anything crucial.

Her violently beating heart made her mouth dry.

My throat seemed to be stuck with something and I couldn't make any sound.

She opened her mouth helplessly, and her face became even more ferocious.

"I'll tell you what I think when I come to see you this afternoon."

After leaving these words, Xiao Xiao left.
