Chapter 24: The Trapped Faceless Man
The faceless man of the City Lord's Mansion
It got dark very quickly, and Yuran and Emperor Shakuten also walked back to the City Lord's Mansion on foot, no matter which realm, power is always the mainstream, and Yuran couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You're staying next door to my dormitory tonight, and I haven't had any guests here, so there's no extra room, do you think?" Shakti said as he walked.
Yuran looked at the layout here, and like his people, both the ornaments and the layout showed that the owner was cold; The dormitories are mainly in cool colors, and apart from some necessary decorations, everything else is empty.
Shakti took Yuran to his place of residence, only reminded him to "go out as little as possible at night" and then turned around and walked away.
Tossing and turning, difficult to sleep, I don't know why, Yuran can't sleep at all, like a devil living in her heart, she has been encouraging her to let her out, but remembering the reminder of the emperor, she lay back on the bed, but under the struggle over and over, finally, she put on her clothes lightly and went out of the bedroom......
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion are strict, but, only, the courtyard of the Emperor's Sleeping Hall is unmanned, although it is next door, but the Xiran and the Emperor's Sleeping Hall are still quite far away, basically, they are the two extremes of the opposite direction, not next to each other at all, the only thing that can be counted as the next door is that they are in the same courtyard.
The night is quiet, and the dark can be, but because of the relationship between the eye of death, the real thing in the night is also very clear, and there is basically everything in the courtyard of the emperor, which is said to be a courtyard, but it is larger than the mansions of ordinary wealthy people, pavilions, ponds, rockeries, everything.
Bang Bang Bang Bang ......
A sound like an iron chain rubbing against the ground reached Yuran's ears, and the iron chain rubbed against the ground one by one, making a piercing friction sound, bang, bang, bang......, bang
Curiosity, Yuzen followed the sound, walked through the promenade, passed by the pond, and came to the vicinity of a rockery, and here, Yuzome could clearly hear the sound of the chain.
Slowly moving away lightly, Yuran was stunned.
What did she see? Behind the rockery is a huge silver cage of unknown material, square, and one corner of the cage is tied to a long silver chain, look along the chain, the other end of the chain is tied to the ankle of a man in black with a cape, the man at this moment, is lowering his head, aimlessly walking around the cage, every step he takes, the chain will make a rattling sound.
Under the purple moonlight, such a picture was formed behind the rockery, in a huge cage, a man in black with loose hair was tethered, and the man was repeating an action aimlessly; And three meters outside the cage, there stood a red-clothed girl with double eyes, the girl looked quietly, the cage was aimless, like a machine, the man in black who was walking in a circle repeatedly, countless emotions flashed in his eyes.
Bang Bang Bang Bang ......
In this quiet night, this is the only sound, if you listen carefully, you will hear the heartbeat of the sunset.
The time quietly left between the two of them, walking and stopping, and at this time it was already the moon, and the time had come. The man suddenly stopped walking aimlessly, and then suddenly came to the side of the cage where Yuzome was standing, his hands clutching the shaft of the cage excitedly, and then shaking it vigorously, revealing a face hidden by messy black hair.
Kicking and kicking, Yuzen subconsciously took a few steps backwards, and then stood firm, her heartbeat violent, reminding her of the facts in front of her. What did she see?
What kind of face is that? Maybe it should be called a face, after all, it is the shape of a human face, but the plain, paper-clean face, empty, he ...... There are no facial features.
Yuran looked at the black-clothed faceless man who was extremely excited at the moment, and wondered for a while, how could there be such a person in the courtyard of Emperor Shakti? Just as she wanted to get close to the man in the cage, a man grabbed her from behind.
"Didn't I remind you not to go out and walk around at night?"
His face was expressionless, his tone of voice was cold and indifferent, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked at Yuran like that, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"I ...... I just can't sleep. Yuzome avoided Shakti's gaze, and his eyes skimmed to the man in the cage.
"You're curious about him?" The affirmative question rang in Yuran's ears.
"Uh, no, I just got here by accident."
After thinking about it for a while, Yuran decided to deny what he was thinking, after all, this was the territory of the Emperor, and what he was going to do had nothing to do with him.
"It's okay to be curious, as for who he is, I don't know, I only know that he is locked here by the Demon Venerable, and he was already there when I woke up." Emperor Shaktien coldly said the origin of the faceless man in the cage.
And Yuran looked at the faceless man in the cage a few more times, because from the appearance of Emperor Shakti to the present, the faceless man in the cage has stayed quietly in a corner, curled up with his head buried in his knees, and made no sound.
"Do you still want to watch the moonlight unique to our demon world here?"
In the silence of the night, the cold and ruthless voice sounded again, the tone was flat, without a trace of waves, like a robot, without the moving tone of fairy music in the daytime.
"No, I'll be back."
Yuran greeted Shakti politely, then turned to leave.
And the emperor stood quietly where Yuran was standing, just quietly looking at the person in the cage, his eyes were very complicated, he felt that he didn't know himself anymore, he always felt that he was related to this strange faceless man, but he couldn't get in touch with it.
Why did the Demon Venerable lock it in his mansion? And why do you let yourself do so many strange things? And those words of today's day, everything, is so inexplicable, I always feel that I know the woman I see during the day, but I have no impression at all.
Since he woke up, everything he has done now is the instructions of the Demon Venerable, a woman in the human world, is it worth his painstaking arrangements for this? The more I thought about it, the more confused it became, and the color of those blood-colored eyes became darker and darker.
Deeply suppressing the restlessness of his body, Shakti turned away from the place where the faceless man had been locked and returned to the dormitory.
And just after he left, the faceless man raised his flat face, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down what should have been his eyes, dripping, and then turned into nothingness.
