Chapter 17 Mask Face

The market spread from under your feet to the end of your sight, spreading a lively noise outside.

The oil lamps were quiet or moving, making the street look particularly bright, with the shadows inside. You could still hear some stingy gentlemen and ladies yelling loudly about who stepped on whom’s feet and who stepped on whom’s skirt.

It's still vivid.

There are all kinds of things on both sides, most of which are daily necessities and food. Yu Xing stepped forward and his eyes passed through the gap between people. He saw that there were vegetables that seemed very fresh on the stall. On the closest stall, the cabbage leaves were even stained with water droplets, which looked fresh and clear.

Carlodi followed Yu Xing and hugged his body in the light range of the oil lamp.

It was not only the two of them who used a hand-held oil lamp together. Looking at it, Yu Xing could see several pairs of people who used oil lamps together, either couples or brothers—and people who looked like mothers and sons.

Without exception, these people stood very close, as if afraid that the oil lamp would not shine on one of them.

However, these people couldn't see clearly the expressions of the expressions - because they were all wearing masks. All stall owners and buyers wore similar masks, and even their clothes had no characteristics, as if they were deliberately weakening their own characteristics.

Yu Xing thought about it, and the importance of oil lamps is self-evident. I am afraid that if you want to walk in this market, something terrible will happen if you leave the oil lamp, and the same is true for being recognized.

Interestingly, he and Carlodi now represent the hotel, so what about the other people? Where do they all come from?

"This tomato is good." Carlody suddenly said to a stall.

Yu Xing came back to his senses and looked at it. He found that the stall specialized in tomatoes. Several frames of red tomatoes were not small in size, and they were stacked together.

"So, I am now responsible for purchasing the food, clothing and expenses for everyone tomorrow?" Yu Xing turned his head and whispered to Carlodi.

"Well, buy a few tomatoes, Xixi likes to eat them," said Carlody.

Yu Xing paused for two seconds, actually thinking about why the money was in Carlodi, and Carlodi couldn't buy it by himself.

But this may be the procurement rules, after all, the oil lamp is in his hands now.

He squeezed to the stall, imitated other buyers, picked a bag of tomatoes, and asked Carlodi to pay.

"I want to eat the bread I ate today." Yu Xing said casually.

Carlodi was obviously very familiar with the market, and raised his chin when he heard this: "Bread is in front."

The two passed by many masked buyers.

During this period, Yu Xing deliberately stepped on the hem of a woman wearing a cake skirt.

"Oh! Be careful!" The woman just complained, patted her skirt after Yu Xingshe kicked, and left as if nothing had happened.

It looks... very undespicable.

"Newly arrived clothes! Only ten pieces!" The stall owner shouted at the stall in front, which briefly attracted the attention of the buyers.

However, it seems that everyone is mainly here to buy food. Most people left without interest after looking at the stall.

Yu Xing tentatively said: "Clothes? Can we buy them?"

"...Yes, Des bought it often." Carlody replied, "She likes to dress Sisy in a different way, and herself-oh, the bread is there, did you see it?"

With the dimness that covered half of his body and the mask that was covered tightly, Yu Xing raised his eyebrows.

Carlodi seemed to have not finished speaking, but changed the topic because he remembered something.

And he just said...Dais likes to dress up like a girl? This doesn't sound like a very bad relationship between a mother and daughter.

Yu Xing temporarily found something wrong, so he went to the bread stall to buy enough for two meals.

Then he sighed unintentionally: "The market is so lively, like the only gap in the closed space..."

The tone was filled with sighs and "joy", like a man who was cursed to never leave the hotel, suddenly found the only exception.

Carlodi glanced around and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid this gap is not as beautiful as you think."

Yu Xing: "Hmm? What does it mean..."

"ah!!!!"

Before he finished speaking, a heart-wrenching scream came from behind, and everyone stopped to look at the screams.

Yu Xing also turned his head suddenly. At this moment, he sensed a malice from behind.

It is a kind of malicious intention that floats out at will, and you can't tell who it is targeted. Sometimes it is more troublesome because the malicious intention is an indiscriminate attack.

Then he saw a place where people spontaneously spread aside and exposed a person who fell to the ground.

Coincidentally, the one who fell to the ground was the woman who had just been "accidentally" stepped on the skirt by Yu Xing. The fresh woman who had no hostility just now was lying face down at this time. The pale yellow cake skirt began to gush out from her waist and soon spread around.

Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and noticed that the oil lamp that the woman was holding tightly in her hand had gone out, the bottom of the lamp was obviously turned on artificially, and the tube containing the lamp oil inside disappeared.

"Here comes again, who is it?" someone asked in panic.

"That market murderer! How many more will he kill tonight?"

The fear in their words is not like a false act, it is like an ordinary living person encountering a murder case on the street.

Kalodi's mouth moved under the mask and whispered in Yu Xing's ear: "Don't panic, don't be too calm, the one who kills people is the masked face."

Everyone is wearing masks here.

However, when it comes to "mask face", Yu Xing can still react - this is the jealous resident in the hotel!

"He's looking for us every day, don't let him recognize him," said Carlody.

This sentence... actually exposed a lot of information.

Because this denies that the possibility of Masked Face coming for Yu Xing, although... Masked Face shouldn't have known that Yu Xing replaced Daisy tonight.

In other words...every night, Mask Face is looking for Dess and Carlody to kill them?

Mask-face wants to kill Daisy?

Several possibilities flashed through Yu Xing's mind instantly, and he vaguely grasped some inspiration, but he wanted to see the situation again, so he nodded gently: "I understand."

At the same time, Yu Xing quietly let go of his senses, sank into the market, and began to look for the malice that disappeared after only a moment.

There was some riots in the crowd.

Malicious intention emerged again.

Yu Xing curled the corner of his mouth and locked it in an instant, never allowing the other party to escape from his perception.

He said, "Why did Mask Face kill people in the market? Is it because I can't find us, so I attacked and tried my luck at will?"

"You're smart." Carlody didn't deny it.

"It's every day?"

"As long as... he didn't sleep in Dess' room, it would be every day."

Yu Xing: "Then he has never been caught? So many people can't do anything about masks? Is he so powerful?"

"...can't catch it." Carlodi symbolically knocked Yu Xing's mask with his hand, "Speak quietly, don't be heard... If you can catch him at night, you can kill him directly. The problem is that he is too good at concealing. He is a natural murderer."

"It sounds like Daisy has a hard time sleeping with him." Yu Xing suddenly chuckled, "I seem to understand a lot... She seems to be a woman who is not right."

Carlody frowned: "Don't mention her name, do you want to be discovered?"
