Chapter 25: The Mask of Human Skin
Lao Jiang almost ran away and came out of Duanmulong's villa. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He was sitting in the car and couldn't calm down for a long time. Duanmu Long's words still echoed in his ears.
"Here's what I made based on what I already know. There are two Dr. Shen in this world, but this is only a matter of a short time, in order to maintain the balance of the two worlds, only one of the two Shen will stay. ”
"What do you mean to stay?"
"One of them will disappear from this world."
Lao Jiang braked the car abruptly halfway up the mountain, and the car made a sharp brake sound. Outside the car window, the dim streetlights hit the windshield, and you can see the darkness of the night beyond the lights. This world, this world, they in this world, including Ah Shen and Poker Face, are all real. Although they are incompatible, they are real.
Lao Jiang was sitting in the car, strong tiredness hit him, he remembered that when he was young, when he was not very sensible, Ah Shen seemed more mature and stable among their children. While they were playing and laughing, Ah Shen just watched silently from the side. When he was a child, Lao Jiang didn't like Ah Shen. Later, Lao Jiang moved out of the Ninth Ring District. encountered again, it was in college, Lao Jiang lost his parents, took on the affairs of the entire Fulong Gang alone, and had someone to take care of his life, but there were more and more things for him to make up his mind, and his spiritual weakness had nowhere to take refuge, until he met Poker Face. Poker had a calm and decisive face, and gave him great comfort and encouragement when Lao Jiang was flustered.
"Which one will die?" This is the only answer that Lao Jiang wants to know.
Duanmu Long did not answer him directly, but asked him instead, "What do you say?" ”
Lao Jiang chuckled in his heart, stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car flew out on the winding mountain road with a bang.
When Lao Jiang arrived at Pokerface's house, Pokerface was not alone in the house. There are also Ah Shen, Yu Yue, Zhuo Fan, and Ma Yisha. Everyone sat in the corner of the living room. What puzzled Lao Jiang was that the expressions on everyone's faces were the same. Poker Face looked cold, and he was alone in the single sofa in the corner. Not a word.
Seeing Lao Jiang coming back, Ma Yisha hurriedly rushed to the entrance, pulled Lao Jiang and whispered, "Where have you been?" ”
Old Jiang chuckled, like a beat missing. He deliberately avoided Mayisa's concerned gaze and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Ah Shen called Yu Yue, and Yu Yue called me and Teacher Zhuo. But since we've been here, we haven't said anything. Maisha said confusedly, stealing a glance at the deliberate silence in the living room, and her whole body was unnaturally stunned.
"So what can I do? I don't even know what's going on. In such a quiet atmosphere, Lao Jiang unconsciously lowered his voice when he spoke.
"You don't need to do anything, just tell us, who saved you that day?" Ah Shen raised his voice and asked loudly in the living room, as if he had deliberately said it to Poker Face.
After that night, Ah Shen was puzzled, and recalled the whole process of rescuing Lao Jiang, becoming more and more confused, and he urgently needed answers. He waited in the library every day, waiting for Pokerface to give him an answer, and finally waited for Pokerface, but Pokerface didn't say anything. He had no choice but to call Yu Yue. As soon as Yu Yue told Zhuo Fan about this, he also called Zhuo Fan and Mayisha to come, forming the current situation.
Lao Jiang looked at the poker face, and the poker face sat expressionlessly in the shadow in the corner, unable to see his expression clearly.
Lao Jiang finally stabilized his emotions after meeting Duanmulong, such a forced question came too suddenly, he didn't have time to think about it at all, squeezed out a smile, and pretended to be natural. "So that's what you're talking about. Do you remember Luo Jin? ”
"Luo Jin?" Zhuo Fan asked repeatedly, looking at Yu Yue.
Yu Yue leaned into Zhuo Fan's ear and whispered, "He is one of the four elders of the Fulong Gang. I was expelled from the gang a while ago because of things in the gang. ”
Actually, the man was him...... A man under his hand. "Lao Jiang's palms are sweating slightly, on weekdays, even if he faces the Fulong Gang, he has never had the panic he has now." Yes, one of my men. ”
Ah Shen didn't realize that Lao Jiang was unnatural, and he focused all his attention on Lao Jiang's answer. "Wasn't Luo Jin expelled from the Fulong Gang by you?"
"Speaking of which, this is our Fulong business for ourselves. I didn't want Poker Face to get involved, and it just so happened that Luo Jin also saw the news that I was trapped, so I found someone to save me in advance. Lao Jiang didn't want to continue to accept Ah Shen's questioning, and at the same time facing Ah Shen and Poker Face, what Duanmu Long said echoed in his ears, which made him feel very sad.
"If that's the case, why didn't you explain it at the time." Ah Shen is aggressive, and these days, he thinks of countless possibilities, and then overthrows them one by one. This process made him more and more confused, and he made up his mind to ask this matter clearly.
Lao Jiang was asked by Ah Shen's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to explain, but he knew that he had fallen into a flaw.
"Say no more." Pokerface's voice came from the corner, with a hint of hoarseness. He got up slowly, walked to a small cabinet by the wall, opened it, and took out a box. The box was placed on the coffee table, and everyone was puzzled by Pokerface's move, and they all came over to see what the box Pokerface took out was.
Poker Face opened the box, only to see that all the boxes were milky white or transparent latex masks.
Everyone was taken aback.
"It's ......"
"Poker Face ......" Lao Jiang wanted to stop Poker Face, according to Ah Shen's character, once he didn't figure out one thing, he would definitely ask again and again until the answer given was acceptable to him. When everyone knows about the existence of the human skin mask, will they question the true appearance of the poker face?
"Why are you preparing so much?" Unsurprisingly, Ah Shen asked first.
"You don't know who I really am." As soon as the poker face spoke, Lao Jiang immediately looked at the poker face. Staring at him, as if to ask him if he really decided to tell everyone who he really was. The same is true for Zhuo Fan, among these people, Zhuo Fan is the other and only one in the know besides Lao Jiang, until this moment, Zhuo Fan realized what the true identity of Poker Face meant, and he also looked at Poker Face with equal concern.
"I'm from Tufuzi, and these masks are a must." Poker Face said these words with ease, and he didn't need to think about the expression of these words at all, which had always been expressionless. So when he spoke, no one noticed that the poker face habitually touched the root behind the ear.
"Are you...... Tufuzi? Ah Shen repeated, seemingly surprised by the answer. Indeed, Ah Shen has conceived many explanations, but this one has not been thought of.
Yu Yue was also taken aback, she vaguely felt that these masks were very familiar, and something was about to come out of her mind, but she couldn't think of a reason.
Zhuo Fan looked at the poker face, and then looked at Lao Jiang, who was already stunned and didn't know how to react. He barely met Zhuo Fan's gaze. Seeing Zhuo Fan bow his head and smile quietly, he came back to his senses.
"Really?" Ah Shen turned to ask Lao Jiang, "So, the person who saved you that day was Poker Face?" Just a different face? ”
Lao Jiang nodded solemnly, "Yes, because he was afraid of being recognized, he wore a mask." In this way, it is impossible for anyone to find the poker face. ”
Ah Shen thought for a moment and nodded in approval. It's just that he suddenly realized something, "Then why, poker face skills have become so bad......"
Lao Jiang was stunned again. He hated himself for being asked repeatedly, just because reason had already been thrown halfway up the mountain after listening to Duanmu Long's words, and all that was left was anxiety and uneasiness.
"If I rescue Lao Jiang smoothly, what will Luo Yong do?" Poker Face continued to deal calmly, and he analyzed, "If I were Rayong, I would definitely take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people in the gang, even if someone disagrees with Rayong, I will not tear my face with him at this time." After all, Rayong can say that he listened to the words of the gang leader to protect him. However, after the last trouble, Lao Jiang escaped from the old mansion with great difficulty in front of so many people, so everyone will know that Lao Jiang was locked up by Rayong privately. Those who are not convinced have reason to oppose Rayong. ”
Everyone is thinking about this analysis of poker faces. Finally, Ah Shen nodded, "That makes sense." ”
"Because of this, I only need to rescue Lao Jiang from the house, and the rest is Lao Jiang's business." Poker Face gave Lao Jiang a look.
Lao Jiang hurriedly answered, "Yes, I heard that the Fulong Gang has now been divided into two factions, one is the user Rayong's people, and the other is the opponent of Rayong. Or the reason why poker face is thoughtful. ”
Ah Shen stood up nervously, "Since that's the case, then, what is your true appearance?" Can you show me? ”
Poker Face was stunned, it was the last thing he wanted to mention. He wears a mask, and it only takes a little inspection to know. He unconsciously moved his neck, "This is what I really am." ”
"What if you lie to us too?"
"I'll do it. If he even wants to lie to us, then he must be the protagonist of the next issue of "Ragnarok", poker face, there must be a lot of stories to share with us. Zhuo Fan chuckled, he walked over to the poker face and slowly stretched out his hand. Touch the skin below his neck. He was taken aback by the jagged touch on his hands. It was a completely different skin texture from his face, and below his neck, there was a clear dividing line, slightly raised, and the fingers were distinctly tactile.
Shen was impatient, got up from the sofa, and wanted to come and have a look.
"Ah, it's fine. I've checked, and he's really not wearing a mask now. This is what he really looks like. Zhuo Fan stood in front of Poker Face, patted Ah Shen's shoulder, and stopped him, "He won't be at home and still wear a mask." ”
"What Teacher Zhuo said makes sense." Mayisa, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said, "Pokerface is trusted by my grandfather and Grandpa Kurban, and I believe in him. ”
"Ah Shen, it's okay." Yu Yue reassured, "I believe in poker faces. She looked deeply into Poker Face and into his eyes, and deep in Poker Face's black eyes, there seemed to be a shadow that she couldn't see.
Yu Yue felt so at the time.
