When Zhang Chen walked into the single bathroom, he washed off the sweat on his body.

The maid standing at the bathroom door to wait for Zhang Chen, as well as the two maids at the door of Jin Geng and Jia Xin, condensed at the same time, and quickly turned to a certain direction in the endless corridor and bowed deeply.

A slender black man wrapped in a black and white striped robe dragged across the floor, with a slender body and regular striped marks on his face, walked slowly from the end of the hallway, each step resonating with his surroundings. It was this man who built the entire palace sealing enchantment, the strongest third incarnation of Nayarathotep recorded in Jia Xin's book, the Black Pharaoh.

Tipu raised his palm slightly, signaling that these maids did not care about their arrival, and kept their posts normally.

As Faceless came to the door of Zhang Chen's room, the palms of the cuffs floated, and the door slowly opened inside. The chandelier that radiated a bright light was not turned off when Zhang Chen left.

Faceless quickly walks into the room and the door behind him closes on its own, and the light switch on the wall closes itself under the watchful eye of Faceless.

"Click!"

What had been a dazzling light in the room suddenly turned into darkness, except for the moonlight that came in through the window in the middle of the room.

However, at this moment, the faceless face, who was staring at the whole room, had a furrowed expression of surprise on his face, and he walked to the center of the room in the moonlight, and then stretched out his arm from the cuff for the first time.

On some of the old and withered arms, the index finger slowly becomes straight, and the index finger simply has long, sharp, curved black nails.

Faceless bends his body slightly, and with his curved and sharp nails, he begins to carve some strange sigils on the floor.

When the engraving was completed, the sigils branched out from the surroundings and spread wildly in all directions, until they filled the entire room, and a smell of black magic permeated the air, as if sensing or searching for something in the room.

"Sure enough...... I didn't expect 'it' to appear at this moment, because it smelled the breath of this new Azathoth? Or is there another reason? ”

Faceless brushes the ground with the palm of his hand. The area of the spell that had been carved with the fingernails had been smoothed out, and the room was back to normal in an instant, except for a small fragment of a black suit that had appeared in the faceless palm.

It was the last method that Zhang Chen came up with when he fought with the faceless man before, and when he slapped the essence blood into the opponent's body with one palm, the clothes that were cut by the spatial shock caused by the shock had originally dissipated and annihilated, but now they were restored by black magic.

"Trouble...... If this thing kills Zhang Chen before I finally plan it. It would have ruined my whole plan. However, it is also an excellent opportunity, just as 'it' exposes its true nature, and it can also be completely wiped out with the help of last resort. ”

"To ensure Zhang Chen's safety, the black woman is naturally the best means."

The faceless facial expression calmed down and quickly turned to leave the room, leaving no trace.

…………

"Hiss ......"

The filamentous hot shower was on Zhang Chen's body, which was a little thinner than before, and the whole person had been under the hot water bath for half an hour, and his body had always maintained a standing posture, and the water slid down his heels to the sink.

"The Faceless Man's body structure is very strange, but it is indeed physical. However, the Origin Essence Blood mixed with my liquid ghost qi didn't have any effect on his body. First of all, it is certain that its body is definitely not flesh and blood, and it does not even have a trace of relationship with flesh and blood. ”

"Most importantly, the pure ghost energy in my body is a latent affinity when it is involved in the faceless man's body. The reason is most likely because the ghost in my body and Nyaratotip are both made by Azathoth, and the affinity brought by the same origin. But why does the Faceless Man who attacked me make me feel that although this person is related to Faceless, he is not the one who is instructed by Faceless. ”

"If you really want to kill me. Why create a presence that must rely on shadows, in many moments it is an excellent time to do it. Jia Xin already knew about it. Presumably I'll be told some useful reasoning information when I flee tonight. This faceless man has been eyeing me once. Then there may be a second, a third case. ”

During the nearly half hour bathing time, Zhang Chen had been in a state of soul meditation, recovering the feeling of overdraft caused by the previous soul load.

"Go back to your room and rest, wait quietly for Jia Xin's actions at two o'clock in the morning tonight, and leave this place to get rid of the faceless man."

Zhang Chen dried his body with a bath towel. Return to the room accompanied by a maid. When he pushed open the door, Zhang Chen felt something unspeakably strange, but after a careful search, he didn't notice any signs that someone had come inside the room.

Looking at the time indicated on my watch, it was only 20:00 at night, and there was still a long way to go before the expected time limit for action.

"Use this time to restore the overdraft of the soul. The room should be safe and sound, and if the Faceless Man comes to the door again, all you have to do is keep the lights on. ”

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged on the big bed and continued to meditate on his mind to speed up the recovery of his soul from fatigue, the matter of the true ghost aura in his body could only be put aside for the time being, and it was too dangerous to let his consciousness wander away from his body during this time.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

During Zhang Chen's meditation, he had no clear idea of the flow of time, and I don't know how long it had been, and a knock on the door pulled Zhang Chen back to reality from his meditative state.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Chen thought that the maid had something to inform him.

"A distinguished guest has been allowed to come to your room, is it convenient to come in now?" The maid's elegant voice came from outside the door.

"Distinguished guests? Could it be Jia Xin...... Or is it a green ghost? Zhang Chen frowned and looked at the time on his watch, meditation had only passed for more than two hours, and now it was only 22:20, and there was still some time before the expected action.

Zhang Chen was a little surprised, who was able to get the permission of the faceless and came to the room to meet him.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Chen personally went to open the door, but Zhang Chen's guess was completely wrong, who knew that the person standing at the door was Wang Yizhi, who kept a certain distance from him during the dinner.

"Yizhi, how are you?"

Wang Yizhi put her index finger on Zhang Chen's lips and whispered, "Go in and talk." ”

Immediately, Wang Yizhi gently took Zhang Chen's palm and quickly walked into the door, the maid at the door couldn't help revealing a slightly envious look in her eyes, but Wang Yizhi didn't look at the maid at all, and closed the door with her backhand and locked it.

"Yizhi, why are you here? Did Faceless let you spy on me? ”

Although Zhang Chen was a little worried about Wang Yizhi's situation, but now this situation coupled with the maid's previous description, the reason why Wang Yizhi came here is obviously to obey the orders of the faceless, as for the purpose, most of them may be surveillance, but in Zhang Chen's opinion, Wang Yizhi's arrival may have other purposes.

However, in this way, when the estimated time and Jia Xin and the others escape from the palace, there will inevitably be problems

"Yes, otherwise I would not be able to make contact with you without the orders of the Faceless Himself in the Inner World." Wang Yizhi answered truthfully.

"Are all my conversations with you under faceless surveillance?" Zhang Chen asked.

"This faceless is a requirement imposed on top of my original constraints, so I have a request for him. During the time I monitor you, there will be no monitoring of any conversation between us and any behavior that takes place, except that I am not allowed to disclose any information about the restrictions on my personal side. ”

However, Wang Yizhi's sentence contains a deep meaning.

1. This action was not formulated very early without face, but was temporarily arranged by Wang Yizhi just now or not long ago.

2. Wang Yizhi emphasized the 'relevant restricted information', which shows that Wumian may know some things, and specially asked Wang Yizhi to come to Zhang Chen here.

"What I told you, do you need to report it to Nyarrathotep?" Zhang Chen confirmed it again.

"No, I'm just here to spy on and make sure you're safe."

"Ensuring a safe ......"

Wang Yizhi has expressed her meaning as clearly as possible, and Zhang Chen also roughly understands Wang Yizhi's meaning from the last four words 'ensure safety'. In this way, Nyarrathotep took the initiative to arrange for Wang Yizhi to ensure his safety, apparently learning about Zhang Chen's attack.

The most important point is that the faceless man that Zhang Chen encountered was not under the control of Nayarathotep.

"Tonight, Jia Xin will arrange for us to escape from the entire palace." Since the information told to Wang Yizhi was confirmed earlier, Naiarathotep would not know about it, so Zhang Chen directly said this matter.

"With Jia Xin's thinking ability, he must have thought that tonight would be a sleepless night, and I guessed that you would escape from here, but I will follow you all the way to ensure safety, after all, Faceless did not ask me to ensure that you must stay in the palace."

Wang Yizhi showed her attitude on the surface, and she would not stop Zhang Chen and the others from escaping tonight, but she would always follow Zhang Chen.

"When do you expect to act?" Wang Yizhi asked.

"Jia Xin's expected time was two o'clock in the morning, and I don't understand why he chose a later time." Zhang Chen told him without concealment.

"Two in the morning? Did this guy have insight in such a short period of time, along with the best time? ”

"The best time? What do you mean? Zhang Chen was a little puzzled.

"This is a forbidden topic to talk about, and I can't tell you about it, otherwise it will immediately provoke the forcible surveillance of Nyaratotip. It's just that this point in time involves the weakest phase of the two key figures, and is suitable for you to escape. In terms of problem analysis and insight ability, Jia Xin is much superior to you, and learn more from him. (To be continued......)
