"I'll make you numb and sleep on you." - This is what Gu Mian actually wanted to say.
But he looked at the countless ferocious faces above his head, and then at the stool legs in his hands: "Okay, what do you want to play?"
"Doctor, you seem a little timid." The fat man looked at Gu Mian, but did not say this.
The faces above laughed.
When they laughed, all their faces twitched, and the entire tunnel wall above their heads moved, like waves of dark tide.
This laughter is very scary, and it is surrounded by 360 degrees, which makes people feel depressed and panicked when they hear it.
They then spoke: "Once upon a time, the noble me was tied here by the rioting low-class people. They threatened and killed me. My angry soul turned into a face and attached itself here."
"Over the years, I have killed countless people who have broken into this place, devoured them and stuck their faces on the walls, but day after day, I can no longer find which one my real face is. I only remember
It’s in this area”
"Now I no longer want to stay in this place. If you can find my real face and take me out for burial, I will tell you the password of my safe."
"The safe is in the office building outside. It's the largest and most luxurious office. It contains most of my assets, and of course some powerful weapons."
"But my patience is limited... You only have ten minutes. If you still haven't found my real face after ten minutes, then my patience will run out and your face will eventually be peeled off by me."
While the faces above were talking, Gu Mian walked forward some distance.
He originally wanted to find out how big the face was, but after taking a few steps forward, he found that the front seemed to be blocked by a transparent barrier and he could no longer move forward.
"You won't be able to leave here within ten minutes unless you find my real face." All the faces above their heads spoke in unison.
Gu Mian looked up and found that these dark faces had changed somewhat after speaking.
They became more three-dimensional, as if they were about to fall off the tunnel wall above their heads.
Gu Mian had a bad premonition.
He suddenly looked at the fat man not far away: "Get down!"
The fat man was leaning against the wall and shivering, but when Gu Mian shouted, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
The moment the fat man lay on the ground, the densely packed faces above them fell down from above.
They didn't fall directly to the ground with a "clack" sound, but hung slightly in the tunnel like a chandelier. They didn't seem to be able to move freely.
Densely packed human faces hung in the dark tunnel, reaching the height of Gu Mian's neck.
If he hadn't squatted down in advance, his head would have been buried in the darkness of his face.
The fat man lay on the ground and looked up. What he saw was a large number of faces. At this time, these faces were facing him, hanging precariously.
"Oh my god!" The fat man hugged his head: "What the hell is this! How can it still fall down?"
"Maybe we thought we were too short and couldn't reach the top of the tunnel, so we dropped down on our own." Gu Mian squatted on the ground and looked up at the dark faces.
After all, the theory is that the two of them should find the real face and take it out. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if they found it but couldn’t reach it?
"You only have ten minutes, and now the timer has started." All the hanging faces said.
"What should we do, doctor?" The fat man crawled on the ground and raised his head to look at Gu Mian.
Gu Mian touched her chin: "Actually, finding its true face among these faces is like finding maggots among mealworms, or bastard among turtles..."
The fat man raised his head and shouted: "What the hell are you talking about!"
"Shut up, is this the time to discuss this?" Gu Mian then said to herself: "It's like looking for maggots among mealworms, or bastards among turtles...it's quite easy."
Fatty said again: "Easy?"
As Gu Mian spoke, he took out the travel book he had tucked into his white coat, which they found in the library.
"Just now it mentioned, 'I, the noble one, was tied here by the rioting low-class people.' I knew it was something a noble person would say, so its real face should be albino... ahem, very white.
Very white."
When the fat man heard this, he looked at the faces above his head. They were all dark, and there was no face that was slightly white.
"I guess it's been dyed black after staying here for a long time." Gu Mian coughed and said, "You can see the original color after wiping it."
"So many faces here are wiped one after another?" The fat man lay on the ground: "I don't think ten minutes is enough..."
"That's not necessary," Gu Mian said, "He also said just now that his safe is in the office building outside. I guess he was originally a senior executive of this coal mine or something."
"And it also mentioned that his office is the largest and most luxurious, so he should be the person with the highest position in this coal mine base... Let me see..."
As Gu Mian spoke, he flipped through the travel book in his hand: "It says in it that the person with the highest position in the coal mine base is the director of the factory, and his name is Sean. There is a color photo of him next to it."
Gu Mian is now very grateful to the unit that sponsored the printing of this booklet. At least the photos of the people were printed in color, which saved them a lot of effort.
"Sean's eyes are light blue, let's look for light blue eyes first." Gu Mian closed the travel book in her hand.
If the printer had just printed the photos in black and white in order to save costs, then they would really have to wipe their faces one by one.
These faces are densely packed, but most of their eyes are dark brown.
There are not many light-colored eyes, and there seem to be only a dozen at a glance.
The fat man climbed up tremblingly, tugging on his sleeves as if he wanted to wipe the face of a person with light blue eyes next to him, but was stopped by Gu Mianhe: "You keep crawling, I'll do it."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately lay down on the ground.
Gu Mian's technique is very rough, and he can wipe a face in less than ten seconds. Of course, the wipe is not clean, but as long as he can see a general outline, it is enough. Anyway, now he also knows what the factory director Xiao Xiao looks like.
Already.
The fat man crawled on the ground and watched Gu Mian getting farther and farther away from him, and finally stopped at the center of the tunnel, standing on the railway track.
At this moment, Gu had a face with blue eyes hanging here. He stretched out his hand towards the face and wiped away the layer of dust on the surface.
It's a familiar silhouette.
This face almost perfectly coincides with the face in the color photo.
Gu Mian clasped the face with both hands: "I found it -"
At this time, the face in his hand suddenly showed a strange smile: "Yes, you found it, this is the only face I can move freely."
Before the fat man could understand what was happening, he saw Sean's face suddenly and rapidly getting bigger.
Rather than saying it grew bigger, it was better to say that it suddenly opened its mouth.
The mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing sharp teeth, occupying half of the entire face, and the nose and eyes were squeezed together and extremely distorted.
At this time, the real face did not fulfill its promise, but bit down hard on Gu Mian's head.
"Fuck!" The fat man rolled and crawled to run over.
But as soon as he got up from the ground, he saw an extremely strange scene.
