Chapter 41: The Mask

Lin Xixue heard the noise outside the house, and couldn't help but become irritable again.

She released her senses, followed the sound of suona all the way, and saw the long queue marching down the street.

Hao Hao soup soup, Ji Ji is unknown its number.

The people in the team, both men and women, were dressed in white and wore extremely exaggerated makeup.

The powder on his face was so thick that it seemed to fall into a flour bag, and the blush ran from his cheeks all the way to the back of his ears. The lips were not painted with rouge, but as if they had just eaten a carbon rod, and they were black.

At the head of the procession was a pair of boys and girls, each holding a square plaque, but the plaque seemed to be splashed with black paint, and the handwriting could not be read.

Behind the plaque is a person holding the coffin on the front and back, on the left and right, wearing a strange mask on the coffin, the mouth of the mask is crying, but the eyes are smiling, the nose is slightly wrinkled, and it seems to be a little angry.

It's as if the facial features with different expressions are roughly stacked and spliced together, creating an expression that is not at all like what a human should have.

The four coffin bearers worked together, carrying a huge coffin, and swayed forward.

He was followed by a man on stilts, but instead of the usual length of an inch, the stilts were more than ten feet high.

What's even more exaggerated is that even though the stilts have reached such a height, the sleeves of the people who step on the stilts have been dragged to the ground, and occasionally the night breeze blows, you can see two big sleeves hunting and flying.

The stilt walkers are several feet in a step, and in order to match the speed of the procession, they walk very slowly, shaking three times with each step.

It is not the first time I have seen Lin Xixue on stilts, but I feel that the person who stepped on stilts this time gives people a sense of incongruity.

And this suona blew so loudly that no one from the surrounding households came out to scold, which was really weirdly tight.

She noticed the strangeness of this team, and naturally did not want to cause more trouble, although the sound of suona made her upset, but she could only turn a deaf ear.

She was about to retract her sense, but the person on stilts suddenly tilted his head and met her sense.

This feels very weird, obviously there is no substance in the divine sense, so naturally there is no talking about looking at each other, but Lin Xixue is very sure, and the two are looking at each other together.

Then, the whole team stopped moving, and the sound of suona gongs and drums stopped abruptly, and they all tilted their heads to look at her.

Lin Xixue knew that she had been discovered, and she secretly said something bad in her heart.

She looked at the pair of black hole eyes on the street, only to feel creepy, and quickly took her sense back.

She took out the jade book, drew her magic sword, stood on guard, and began to think about whether to fight or flee next.

If you want to escape, you need to carry such a large box of silver and Bai Qing, but I am afraid that I will have a nosebleed if I can't fly far.

The details of the enemy are not yet clear, and I don't know whether the pursuit speed is fast or not, if he has a nosebleed by then, but has not yet run away, it will not be completely finished for this strange team to catch up.

Rather than fall into passivity at that time, it is better to strike first at this moment.

Although the empty eyes made her very uncomfortable, when she thought of this, she had to suppress her fear, jumped out of the window, and went straight to the strange team.

However, when she arrived here, she found that the streets were empty, and there was no shadow of suona and the team.

Although there was nothing on the street, Lin Xixue felt as if there was a howling wind, and she had goosebumps on her hands inexplicably.

Lin Xixuexing's eyes widened slightly, and her mind turned sharply.

Fang Cai himself used his divine sense to probe and saw this strange team, but at this moment, he was probing with his naked eye.

Could it be that these things cannot be seen by ordinary means, and can only be probed with divine sense?

She gripped the sword tightly, took a deep breath, and then released her consciousness again, just as she saw the pair of boys and girls pressed against her face, smiling and staring at her.

"I ......"

Lin Xixue was so frightened that she almost burst into a foul mouth, and stabbed with a swing of her sword, but the magic sword passed through the body of the boy and girl without hindrance, as if these things were incorporeal.

But what the hell is it?

Hope? Smooth?

But this is not right, if these things are the same as the master, they are all products of people after death, why does the master need a great witch blessing to manifest the world, but these things seem to be able to walk and move in the world independently?

The problems are accumulating more and more, and none of the problems she left behind have been solved, and now new puzzles are emerging, and the world is really unpredictable.

However, although the magic sword did not cut the entity, the phantom of this boy and girl seemed to be a little more transparent.

The entire team seemed to be frightened by this sword, and they all turned around, fleeing like the north of the city.

The coffin bearer in the team ran especially anxiously because he was carrying heavy loads.

One of them accidentally dropped the mask on the ground, but he didn't bother to pick it up, and disappeared into the scope of her divine sense.

Lin Xixue looked at the mask that fell to the ground, and her heart was even more confused.

Just now, the magic sword passed directly through the body of the boy and the girl, and she thought that these things were disembodied. But if these things have no form, why can this mask fall to the ground?

You must know that the black feather coat on her body can go straight through the ground.

It seems that besides her black feather coat, there are other things in this world that are in between the virtual and the real?

But why did the mask turn from virtual to real when it fell to the ground? What exactly is the law of transformation between the two?

She couldn't figure it out for a moment, and decided to try to see if she could pick up the mask first.

A delicate and pliable touch came from the fingertips, and the mask seemed to be made of some kind of leather.

Hey, it can't be human skin......

"You just ripped off the skins of those five homeless people, and now you are starting to be scared when you see the masks made of human skins?" Auditory hallucinations appear at the right time and sarcastically.

“......”

Lin Xixue ignored the auditory hallucinations, put the mask in her hand and twisted it repeatedly, feeling that this mask might indeed be made of human skin, so the pores on the surface of the human skin were carefully restored.

However, she studied for a long time, except for the special material, the rest of the functions did not come to a reason. What's so peculiar about this mask is that you have to wear it yourself to find out.

But Lin Xixue will not be reckless and put it on his face right now, the origin of this mask is quite ominous, at least he has to find someone to try it on first, if it is really not dangerous, then it is not too late to use it himself.

Lin Xixue put away her mask and looked to the north of the city again.

Just now, this team fled to the north of the city in unison, why is this?

Could it be that there is something else strange in the north of the city?

Lin Xixue had a headache, and her predecessor memory showed that since she was a child, whether it was worshipping Buddha and praying for wishes, or worshipping ancestors during the Qingming Festival, she had never encountered anything strange.

Why do you feel that this world is full of weirdness after you have crossed over?

In a town that was thought to be relatively safe, there was such a strange and chaotic thing, which contradicted the memory of the predecessor.

What's going on here?

Lin Xixue was trying to straighten out the contradictions between various information, but there was an exclamation not far away, and the direction of the voice was the previous Xu Mansion......
