    When Wei Dong saw the so-called Master Wu for the first time, he almost screamed out, his body softened, and Ke Xun was able to hold him back in time: "Stretched, that's a mask."

    Master Wu wore a slightly old dark cotton robe, a pale mask, a pair of crescent-like eyes, and a laughing mouth that cracked to the ears. These were the black ink like the bottom of a pot. There are some black radioactive lines around the eyes, as if the eyes are emitting black rays. These lines are all over the mask. It is worrying that the mask will be split by these sharp lines at any time.

    "Master Wu's eyes are like a torch." Although people's attitudes are not humble, but their expressions worship Master Wu extremely.

    Wei Dong finally suppressed his accelerated heartbeat, but still couldn't calmly look at Master Wu-especially the pair of eyes with countless black rays, really "gazes like torches".

    I was afraid of something. When Master Wu walked past Ke Xun Wei Dong, he slowly stopped, and his masked face approached, seeming to be "looking at" the people, especially the curved dark eyes and Black mouth, the endless dark abyss inside seems to be able to suck people in.

    Finally, Master Wu nodded slightly and continued to walk slowly towards the place where the corpse was.

    Wei Dong's soul was frightened, desperately trying to calm himself down, while Lu Heng leaned against Wei Dong's body.

    Wei Dong wiped his cold sweat: Fortunately, the turnip didn't follow, otherwise he would be scared on the spot.

    Lu Heng was in cold sweat and couldn't wipe it off. Now I want to ask the old members, do such terrifying NPCs often appear in previous paintings? And how did the old members live so many paintings without being scared into neurosis.

    Ke Xun is also afraid. It is not the strange mask of Master Wu, but... This world seems to have fixed and unbreakable rules. The members have names in this world. This must not be groundless, but more like Is preparing for the next role play.

    Master Wu's status seems to be high, so what is the status of this group of people in this world? What tasks will be assigned? If you violate the rules, what punishment will be imposed?

    At this time, everyone on the second floor was silent, and even the entire building remained silent. People religiously left the right of voice to Master Wu.

    Everyone bowed their heads slightly, and Ke Xun had to go to the village to do what the customs did. They lowered their heads slightly, but their ears stood up to listen to the subtle movements.

    Master Wu lifted off the white cloth covering the deceased. Perhaps the cloth was too old, and even the rustling voice became mature and dull, as if he did not want to attract the attention of unrelated people.

    "Master Wu," an unfamiliar voice sounded, seeming to be someone guarding the corpse. "The murderer is despicable and cruel. He not only stabbed the deceased with several knives, but also disfigured the deceased. The deceased is good at playing the piano, and the murderer can Cut off all his finger bones, it was extremely cruel."

    Master Wu didn't speak for a long time, and the supervisor also silenced.

    The rustling sound of the old cloth sounded again, seeming to re-cover the cloth on the deceased.

    The steward couldn't help saying: "Master Wu, we all suspect that Xiao Hu did it. Because the marriage failed, he started to kill..."

    "I don't have any, Master Wu wants to call the shots for me!" Xiao Hu's arguing voice echoed in the Loucheng, like a passionate line in a stage play.

    Another unfamiliar voice sounded quickly: "Don't bother Master Wu, the adults are looking into the eyes of the dead."

    Ke Xun couldn't help but raise his head slightly, because he was tall, and the others had their heads down, and he was able to see the situation on Master Wu's side-the entire body of the dead was covered with white cloth, Master Wu's tall body was like a shrimp Bowing down the same way, the masked face seemed to look at the corpse through the white cloth.

    Master Wu watched it for a long time.

    "The murderer is a woman." Master Wu finally spoke, perhaps because of the cover of the heavy mask, the sound seemed to be made by someone covering his mouth, very strange.

    Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly someone said, "That's Xiao Hu's concubine! She must be jealous of Xiayu! She did it!"

    Gradually, the voices of consonance came one after another, like the wind blowing into the poplar forest, causing a loud and crisp sound—"This woman is too vicious! She is jealous of Xiayu's beauty! Jealous that Xiayu can play the piano!"-"Huh, now She buried herself in it too! The Chu family will not let her go! Our Lantern Brigade will never let her go!" — "The people in the Fluorite Brigade are all black-hearted! They can't see the light!" — — "Tell her out, our light brigade is not easy to bully!"...

    There was a strange sound, and everyone shut their mouths.

    The sound was like flicking an egg shell with your fingers, and the sound was very clear in everyone's ears, the sound was not loud, it was more like an alternative whisper.

    Ke Xun's eyes had been fixed on the Master Wu, and couldn't believe that Master Wu was tapping his chin with his fingers—the chin of the mask.

    "The woman will have retribution," Master Wu said.

    Perhaps it was the magical deterrence brought by the "chin knocking". People stopped talking about it. After watching Master Wu leave respectfully, no one would say anything more about this time. At most, they would say-"The light will bless Xiayu, let She rests in peace."

    Soon, the "Death of Xiayu" was no longer fresh, and people scattered and rushed.

    Xiayu's body was still covered with white cloth and guarded by several people.

    Ke Xun had no reason to stay here anymore, so they went upstairs along the steps when they came.

    Lu Heng walked at the back, leaning on the handrails of the stairs, and then reluctantly went upstairs forcefully. Wei Dong pulled him up: "It's not night yet. There will be no accidents during the day, don't worry."

    It's okay if you don't listen. Lu Heng softens his feet when he hears this: "At night, death will really happen? It will definitely happen?"

    Wei Dong was silent, just pulling him upstairs.

    Fang Fei walked in the front and said nothing.

    Ke Xun: "You are not a good person. Going downstairs to see the corpse is not your point of interest."

    Fang Fei turned his face to look at Ke Xun.

    Ke Xun: "You may have found something and you are eager to go downstairs for verification."

    Fang Fei's black eyes swept across Ke Xun, and looked down at the bracelet on his wrist.

    Ke Xun: "Is it related to that Master Wu?"

    Fang Fei nodded and took off the earthenware bracelet in his hand: "I wanted to go back and talk about it. Since you thought of it in advance, let's take a look at this."

    Ke Xun took this broad and rugged bracelet, saying that its simplicity is good, and it is rough, just like a beginner's joke, it is not even round enough: "It's really ugly."

    Fang Fei: "..."

    "Fuck, Kerr, you also have a boyfriend, where is the girl's bracelet?" Wei Dong's tone was like scolding Jia Baoyu.

    Ke Xun didn't hear it, and he wore the bracelet solemnly, with his fingers resting on the inner circle of the bracelet: "Is there a word here? It seems to be a simple one-faced character."

    Wei Dong: "Fuck you Shao Ling upper body?"

    Fang Fei looked around at no one before nodding, "It's a "witch" character."

    Perhaps the character'Witch' is very special in this world. The other three were surprised. Wei Dong recalled the terrible scene when Master Wu approached him just now: "No wonder he watched us for a long time, and finally nodded at us. Seems to be... met a colleague? That means hello?"

    Lu Heng squatted behind and said: "Did he nod his head at the time? I thought he was laughing... His head trembled..."

    "..."

    Fang Fei: "Let's go back first, what did Mu Yiran say? Where do we go to meet?"

    "Just where we just came in, the room next to the corridor should be the place the world has arranged for us. Let's go back to the room first. Brother Qin Hao Wener and they went to step on other floors and they should be back too." Ke Xun looked at In a gauze lamp next to it, a flame as big as a fist flickered, beautiful and terrifying.

    Fang Fei smiled faintly, some of them couldn't believe that Ke Xun only met Mu Yiran just now, and after a few whispers, they negotiated so many things.

    "How many floors did we get off just now?" Lu Heng looked at the huge rectangular patio and the rooms that looked almost identical on the upper and lower sides. "What if we can't find it back?!"

    There is comfort in Wei Dong's tone: "We are on the ninth floor, next to the stairs, with a crow painted on the lantern at the door."

    "Touch the wood." Ke Xun's voice came from above the stairs.

    Wei Dong subconsciously touched the wooden pillars of the stairs: "That's a crow. I can't distinguish between crows and other birds if I do art? Although it is not blacked out, the figure and head and mouth are definitely crows. !-Lu Heng, what's wrong with you?"

    "My moa..." Lu Heng was crying without tears.

    "……Sorry."

    "Fortunately, it's not that serious. It's mainly moa's beak..." Lu Heng tried his best to distract, not to think about such uncomfortable things. "Yes, there is one more thing, I want everyone to keep it secret."

    Both Ke Xun and Fang Fei slowed down and looked at Lu Heng, who was slightly pale.

    Lu Heng: "Just now, about Xiayu's disfigurement by the murderer and the cutting of her fingers, I don't want Sheng Nan to know that she seems strong, but actually very fragile. Please everyone."

    Everyone didn't say anything, it was tacit approval.

    Wei Dong and Lu Heng walked behind and couldn't help saying, "Do you want to chase her?"

    Lu Heng smiled bitterly: "You can see it all."

    "It's quite obvious."

    "It's a pity that she didn't agree. She had been hurt and she didn't believe in feelings anymore." Lu Heng's weak voice was firm, "I went to study photography because of her. I didn't know anything about this before, and I wasn't interested. "

    Wei Dong looked at the camera hung on Lu Heng's chest. Walking in the crowd just now, people seemed to be familiar with this object. That is to say, in this world of indistinguishable ages, the camera already exists.

    Lu Heng's whistling voice came again: "I... just secretly photographed Xiayu."
