Chapter 443: The Faceless Man
Sifa raised his head, poured the golden liquid in the cup into the bar, and swallowed it, only to feel a line of fire extending from his esophagus to his stomach.
He exhaled, took a few pictures of the change, stood up without saying a word, and was about to leave.
"etc."
The bartender quickly stopped him and said, "What are you doing?"
Xifa spread his hands: "Of course I'm going back to the hotel to sleep. You have lost the treasure map. It seems that this task is doomed to fail. I'd better save some energy and go back to sleep earlier."
The brown-haired and blue-eyed Cyril said helplessly: "Listen to me, although the treasure map is lost, I probably know where to find it."
"The White Bear Gang, the treasure map must be in their hands!"
White Bear Gang.
Xifa thought of those big guys from Feysac that he saw at the Champagne Manor yesterday, and then looked at the bartender, wanting to hear his explanation.
Cyril put down his glass and said: "The habitual thieves and thieves in Grand Town basically deal with the White Bear Gang. They will take the stolen things to the White Bear Gang to exchange for money, and the White Bear Gang will help them. Of course, they will charge a certain amount. 'handling fee'."
"So, if you can go to the old den of the White Bear Gang, you should be able to find that treasure map there."
Xifa straightened his back, smiled and said, "Then, where is the White Bear Gang's lair?"
...
It was getting dark, and Xifa appeared on the "Moon Boat Street" in the small town of Gran. There was hardly a pedestrian on this street, and the gas lamps on the side of the road were emitting a dim yellow light.
Fine snow powder falls lightly from the night sky. They fall on the window sills, on the treetops, and on the street lamps, forming handfuls of beautiful silver.
Xifa raised his head and looked at Building No. 12 in front. It was a three-storey building. According to Cyril, it was a rental building for various residents.
The White Bear Gang occupied the basement floor of the building, which was their den for selling stolen goods, and it was also where their 'vault' was located.
Xifa observed the situation of the downstairs for a while, and found that there was a balcony door on the second floor that was obviously not closed. He looked around and found no suspicious person before climbing to the second floor and getting in through the open balcony door.
Inside was an unoccupied room, very small and without furniture.
Open the wooden door, and you will see a corridor, at the end of which is the staircase.
Xifa came to the first floor and found the entrance to the basement floor. He took out the 'sleep' spell, infused it with spirituality, read the corresponding Hermes language, and threw the spell down.
He clearly felt that a force of 'sleep' was spreading down the stairs.
After a while, Xifa walked down the wooden stairs, and soon came to the bottom. At the corner of the stairs, he saw a figure.
That should be the guard of the White Bear Gang. He was lying on the ground with a revolver in his hand, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Just as Xifa was about to pass by him, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he picked it up with his foot and turned the Fusac man over. By the light of the gas lamp next to him, Xifa saw that the man was no longer breathing, and his eyes protruded, as if seeing something frightening.
call.
A cold wind blows from the front.
Xifa exhaled lightly, and weighed his current state. His shoulder was injured, and any movement of his arm would pull the wound, which would cause stinging pain and inconvenience.
Maybe I should quit, it seems that someone has already stepped in first, maybe it will be someone from the secret order.
Without knowing the number of opponents and the rank of the sequence, it is not rational to intervene hastily.
With a certain idea, Xifa started to back away, but before he could go up the stairs, he heard a strange sound not far from the corridor.
"Ho Ho."
It looked like someone was panting, and soon, Xifa saw a figure appearing in the corridor.
It was a man, in formal attire, with his back to Sifa.
From time to time, he twisted his neck and moved his lower arms. These movements made him make strange 'clicking' sounds, as if there were various parts in his body that would make strange noises when he moved.
The man standing there made a panting sound of 'ho ho', and then he walked backwards. While walking, he turned his head backwards. He seemed to have no bones, but his head was turned behind him.
Suddenly, Xifa saw a face full of granulation, but no eyes, no nose, no mouth!
He gasped.
What kind of monster is this?
Or, is this an out-of-control Extraordinary?
Let Xifa think about it when there is no extra time, the monster with no facial features and a granulated face suddenly quickened its pace and rushed towards Xifa.
Xifa immediately raised the 'Blood Praise' and shot him in the head.
This 'faceless man' didn't even dodge, let Xifa hit him, let his head explode, still turned his back to Xifa, and came towards him strangely and quickly.
Twist the two arms back, reach out and grab Sifa's neck!
boom!
Crimson flames erupted from the soles of Xifa's feet, propelling him into the air, making somersaults, and passing over the head of the 'Faceless Man'.
During this process, he saw that the clothes on the 'Faceless Man' were opened, exposing the chest and abdomen, on which there were mouths of various sizes.
Those things opened and closed, and there was a gasp of 'ho ho.'.
When it fell to the ground, Xifa stretched out his hand and pressed the ground, the light in the corridor suddenly dimmed, as if a black gauze curtain was opened to 'wrap' the space in the corridor.
Black house!
As soon as this ability was released, the 'faceless man' behind Xifa didn't move any further, and his head turned behind without facial features looked around.
Suddenly tearing off his own sleeve, the 'Faceless Man' opened one eye after another on the two arms. These eyes without eyelashes and pupils of different colors looked at different places, and even swept across Xifa's body. , are completely unresponsive.
Xifa took the opportunity to shake his left hand, and shook out a long whip of burning red flames from his hand. This long whip was brightly lit and emitted high heat, and the temperature was much higher than before.
With a flick of the flame whip, it swished towards the 'Faceless Man', bursting out flames, and split the out-of-control Extraordinary in half.
The body of the 'faceless man' who was 'torn' suddenly became thinner, turned into a broken paper man, and burned into ashes.
A flame that fell near Xifa suddenly rose up, and the 'Faceless Man' jumped out of the flame, and the many eyes on the two arms looked at Xifa in unison.
He has left the scope of the 'black room', he can see things again, and he sees Xifa!
He opened his hands, as if to hug Sifa.
His ten fingers sprouted granules like mushrooms after rain, and those granules quickly 'grow', turning into arms and palms.
Granules sprouted from those new arms again, and the granulation 'grown' into arms again. After repeated several times, a large net woven by hundreds of 'arms' covered Xifa.
