nightmare out of control

After the suit, a set of clean pajamas was sent over.

An Mo's wound was bleeding too much, and he was very weak. I said that I would pay attention to the surrounding situation and let him rest at ease.An Mo trusted me very much, and he could barely believe that nothing dangerous would happen at the master's house in the suit. He closed his eyes and lay on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

I was afraid that he would still be in a light sleep as usual, so I poked him several times and he didn't wake up, so I breathed a sigh of relief and walked out the door.

I want to go see the mural on the top of the first floor again.

Those of us who study art can't stop seeing those weird and interesting pictures.Anyway, I'm idle now, and I won't have any other news if I wear that suit again. I've been asleep for two days and now I can't sit still, so I closed the door and walked down the stairs.

When I walked halfway up the stairs, I looked up. This angle was just right enough to see the panoramic view of the ceiling. Even though it was still a little blurry, I could still see a rough outline of the carvings and paintings on it.

The dim light made the shapes of the countless masks even more strange.When I saw this, I couldn't help but think, if it was a sculpture placed in the house, no one would put some ghosts and evil spirits in the house except for some too thin-headed celestial masters. In any case, some holy beasts that look gentle but domineering will be placed as sculptures to protect the house.And the carved figures on the ceiling have empty and terrifying eyes, as if warning outsiders not to enter the house.

Is it possible to control evil with evil?I said.

Resisting evil things with evil things is not uncommon in my previous world, but it is very rare. After all, it is quite unlucky for those ghosts and evil gods to be so weird at home.

But I can't tell which category the things on this carving and painting belong to. They are not evil in terms of evil, and they are not good in terms of goodness.The person in the painting has countless masked faces, not only the face, but also many masks scattered around the hands and surroundings, but his main face is expressionless, and the expressions of his other faces are also particularly exaggerated, such as For the expression "Hi", I saw a mask with a mouth almost reaching the corner of the eyes, which should be Xi, and "Nu" is the mask with wide eyes and wide mouth, as if it wants to swallow something.

I stared at the sculpture and thought deeply, and suddenly I noticed the sight of the person in the painting. The pupils of many faces on the painting seemed to be looking at me obliquely. I looked along and found that the original painting The person above looked straight at the direction of the door, and kept staring at it.

Weird, very weird.The owner of this villa really doesn't seem to be a good person, so it won't feel inappropriate to hang such a thing on the top of his head, and his every move is under their watchful eyes?I really can't see the state of mind at all.I propped my hands on the handrail of the stairs, propped my head and continued to look at the person in the painting.

The more I look at the main face of this person, the more strange it becomes. It seems... It seems familiar?

As soon as this idea came out, I was taken aback. Could it be that I have seen such a weird thing somewhere?But when I think about it again, it seems that it is not the case, because what I feel familiar with is not the whole sculpture, but only the main face of the person in the painting.I felt strange and squinted my eyes to carefully look at the other facial features of the mask in the whole painting. I found out that something was wrong - it turned out that all the faces of these facial features were different, and I was just fascinated by the exaggerated expressions. Fascinated, didn't notice this at first.

In other words, if there are a hundred masks in this painting, it means that there are a hundred different faces of people.But why do I feel familiar with the faces of these mask wearers?I looked at that face again with some doubts, and stared at it for about a quarter of an hour. I finally found a name that matched that face in my mind, but then I broke out in a cold sweat.

Because I found that this dull-eyed and expressionless face was very similar to Supervisor Dograll!

······

how come?This is a coincidence!I rubbed my eyes vigorously, and wondered if I missed the supervisor so much these days, and everything turned out to be the supervisor's face?

I also know that I am deceiving myself, because I don't have such a deep friendship with my supervisor.

I blinked a few times before I recovered. Finally, I found out that such a weird thing was the supervisor's face?This is completely a relationship that can't hit eight poles.I raised my head to see more clearly so as to deny my thoughts just now, could it be that my eyes were dazzled just now?

But at this time, a slight voice came from behind me. I hurriedly looked back, and saw that the suit had been standing at the stairs at some point, staring at me with narrowed eyes and a sly face. He saw I turned my head and bowed to me, and said: "Master X, what are you doing here if you don't go to have a good rest?"

I was a little surprised that this person was able to stand behind me without making a sound, which meant that the speed and gravity of the landing were controlled to a certain extent. It seemed that he was not just an ordinary butler, and his skills were uncertain. On top of Kerrs.

I calmed down, then pointed to the carvings on the ceiling and said, "When I just came up, I saw this wood carving by accident. I thought it was very interesting, but I'm fine right now, so I came here to have a look again."

The suit gave an oh, and walked down step by step to my side, looked up at the carved painting and said, "Then, does Mr. X see what this is?"

What do you see?I saw a supervisor... I thought to myself, but I still said: "Isn't it just a person with countless masks?" After a pause, I asked again: "But the style of this carving is weird. Really, I wonder why your master likes such a type?"

"Where is the weirdness?" The suit looked at me with a smile, and said, "The person in this painting can be said to represent our master. Naturally, we should respect him and place him in the most obvious place in our home."

I couldn't turn my head when I heard it, and I thought that I really couldn't keep up with the thinking of this suit. Could it be that they brought us here under the order of a painting? "Then on this painting—oh, who is your master? Give us a title, and we can thank him for helping us in times of trouble in the future."

The suit was silent for a long time, as if he still didn't intend to tell me anything, after a while he bowed to me again, turned around and walked up the stairs: "Master X should rest early."

"It's just a title, is it necessary?" I shrugged helplessly, and said to myself that even if you told me, I might not know you, so I don't mind telling you.So he also went upstairs to find Kano and the others.

"It's better that you don't know some things, although sometimes few people can understand such a private decision." Suit opened his door and said to me when he was about to walk in.He turned his head to look at me, and there seemed to be a deeper layer of emotion in his eyes. After a while, he said slowly: "The Emperor of Thousand Faces does not belong to any of your forces, he may harm you, of course It may also help you. Although some of you are the guests of the God Emperor, the God Emperor does not allow me to communicate with them too much, but I still want to give you a piece of advice. Our place is absolutely safe, but It's not a place to stay for a long time, if you rest properly, it's better to inform me to leave here earlier."

I ran to Kano's room, and when I entered, I found that these three people were actually hoeing the big D. I don't know who brought the cards, and they seemed to be having a good time playing.I felt a little helpless immediately, this thing is really an outstanding leisure and entertainment device across eras and planets.After being helpless, he remembered the business, and asked them if they knew what the role of the Thousand Faces God Emperor was.

The result of this question made me feel stupid. Hua Han and Kers shook their heads and said they hadn’t heard of it, while Kai Nuo just said that he had heard such a name when he was a child, but he couldn’t tell the specific reason. .

Hey, Shenhuang, with such a high-end name, it is unexpected that such a low-key person has never heard of Huahan, who has all kinds of news.As soon as I told them what I said about the suit just now, Hua Han said after hearing it: "This thousand-faced god emperor may be the name given to him by the Taoist priest. Over time, everyone has forgotten his own name, and they use the god emperor to address him." Its name. All I know is the news on the white road, just like Joe’s news that he takes a bath every few days and changes his underwear every few days, as long as he works hard, he can know it..."

When he was talking, I showed a disdainful expression when I heard it. Hua Han saw me and quickly changed my words: "But this emperor seems to be a member of the underworld. Our company has always avoided the underworld when we can, because There is really no reason to start any conflicts with those people. Since the Emperor of Thousand Faces was rumored when Kai Nuo was a child, it shows that he may be a force that has lived for a long time, but 20 years ago, the few of us still At an idle and playful age, I don’t even know Redemption’s name, so how did the God-Emperor know about us and extend a helping hand to us?”

Kers said: "Generally, masters are more neurotic, so let's leave it alone, why not dissect the name of the Emperor of God first." He turned to me and said, "The Emperor of Thousand Faces, I think if the Emperor of God is calling himself If so, the Thousand Faces, as the name suggests, should have a thousand faces."

"The carving on the top of the first floor is a person wearing countless masks." I nodded.

"I think this mask should be just a metaphor, mask... What can you think of when talking about masks?"

Each mask on the mural is the face of a different person. If the thousand-faced god emperor has countless faces, it means...

"Disguise technique..." I thought deeply: "This god emperor is a master of disguise. He has countless faces, and his skills must be quite superb!"

"That's right." Kers said, and then looked around us: "Think about it, have you ever met any friends who are particularly good at disguise?"

Almost decisively, several of us shook our heads one after another. I think Carter is a dog with thousands of faces, but it can only be transformed into various human forms in a dream. It is not the real place, so there seems to be no general idea relation.

In this way, Kers spread his hands: "Then there can only be one conclusion in the end - this Thousand-Faced God Emperor is not someone we know, he is a force completely separated from the two parties, to help us say Maybe it’s just because I think it’s fun—I said that experts are usually more nervous. But the advice that the suit gave you just now is somewhat contradictory. This is an absolutely safe place, but it’s not a place to stay for a long time. This sentence What it can represent is..." Kers tapped his head a few times with his fingers, and then said: "That is, we need to save up our energy as soon as possible, and then leave here earlier."
