Chapter 44: Faceless Man

"Haha, these cute children are really polite."

"The Lin family is indeed a wealthy and distinguished family hundreds of years ago. Although the family is now in decline, it provides a good education for the children."

"Children are reflections of adults... mirrors of the world..."

“They must be taught well so that they can show good character.”

"As the saying goes, love comes from the heart. Only children with good personalities can become cute!"

The old woman selling chestnuts was chattering to herself as she watched the faceless child leave. Then she pushed the cart and continued to lead the way.

Relevant information gradually emerged in Chen Ye's mind.

That’s right!

These children should be the "faceless people".

When they are minors, their faces do not have any organs, but they retain their naturally clean state.

In the process of growing up, the "faceless man" will absorb several different personality traits, thus giving birth to different "personality masks".

The appearance of the mask will depend on the character.

Some powerful "faceless men" can even accommodate more than a dozen personas.

They pride themselves on being able to accommodate more masks.

"Grandma, do you know what that kid kicked... that ball...?"

Chen Ye originally wanted to use the word "human head".

However, he suddenly realized that the old woman selling chestnuts had previously emphasized that these were not human heads, but "fruit seeds", and then changed her rhetoric.

Although he has a lot of identity occupations, characteristic items and strategy information in his mind...

However, the situation in Linjiang City seems to be very different from the final version of the internal beta, as if it has been updated several times. Not only are there blood-colored mobile phones and the rules of equal exchange, but there are also many new gadgets that have never been seen in the game before.

The old woman selling chestnuts smiled and shook her head:

"How can I, an old woman, understand the new trends popular among young people?"

"I only know that this kind of fruit seeds seems to be a newly popular item in Yong'an Market recently, and it represents a new trend in the planting industry."

"As long as you sow seeds, all kinds of strange faces will grow... Although I don't understand what's so interesting about this, many young people who pursue trends like these unique things."

"Especially for faceless people, they are very dangerous in their early stages of growth. If they are not careful, they will be contaminated by the 'fallen personality'."

"I think... this fruit seed should be a toy bought by their family for their children. You see, they can't speak, laugh, or cry. They have the cleanest personalities and are the best matched with the children. There is no trace of them. Risk of contamination and degradation of character.”

"If you are willing to buy one for them, haha, given the hospitable and polite nature of this family, they should be very happy."

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. He never expected that this thing that looked like a human head would be the latest trendy product in this city?

However, after carefully analyzing this passage, Chen Ye found that there was quite a lot of information in it!

The old woman selling chestnuts was obviously hinting at the gift she was giving.

Since the "Faceless Man" comes from a well-known family, the family is very strict with rules, so he should be a relatively easy-to-reach person, at least not too evil.

Following etiquette is the way to get along with them.

as well as……

Since this family pays attention to courtesy, if you can do what you like, you will get a valuable "return gift".

"When we go to Yong'an Market later, we can pay more attention to these trendy items." Chen Ye thought to himself.

Of course, the premise is that the price cannot be too expensive.

After all, I still have enough money to buy a trolley, and my budget is still quite high, so the remaining copper coins may not be enough.

"Selling chestnuts..."

“Fresh roasted chestnuts!”

Amid the vague shouts, the old woman selling chestnuts continued to push her pushcart along the dark and damp old street, all the way north.

Midnight, twelve o'clock.

Dang, Dang, Dang! ! !

There was a sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by the tinkling of bells, coming from nearby.

A convoy suddenly drove from the crowded road ahead.

There were about a dozen people in the convoy, including men, women, old and young, carrying a majestic sedan.

Several tall, burly and powerful men stood barefoot on the ground, carrying bronze sedans on their broad shoulders, and walked forward slowly.

The faint scent of rouge powder floated faintly from the sedan chair.

Chen Ye's eyes moved and he noticed that there was a strong black and yellow aura flowing above the motorcade, but it was different from Miss Squirrel Fish. This dark yellow color is not gathered, but diffused in all directions, gathering noble aura from all directions. The person who comes must have a good status.

A few big men at the front of the motorcade just landed on the old woman selling chestnuts...

Suddenly, a sharp and angry voice came from the sedan:

"See no evil!"

The big men quickly turned their eyes away from the old woman selling chestnuts and walked with their heads lowered.

The convoy actually took the initiative to avoid Chen Ye and the two of them and took a long detour...

When he passed by them, Chen Ye clearly noticed that the driver's body was shaking slightly and there was fear on his face.

"Is it that scary?"

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He became more and more curious, what was the identity of the old woman selling chestnuts?

This convoy has a good background, and the owner of the car has a distinguished status and must have a good background. He must take the initiative to make way for the old woman selling chestnuts.

At the same time...

Chen Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Midnight is indeed the time when this city really comes alive."

Many beings that cannot be seen during the day have already appeared at this moment.

If it weren't for the old lady selling chestnuts and the old man playing the erhu, midnight would be the most dangerous time, and he would also come into contact with the most ghosts.

After passing this convoy, he didn't encounter any ghosts along the way. Only occasionally a few ordinary residents with numb expressions passed by, but nothing happened.

Just then, a vegetable market appeared in front.

The scale of the market looked very large, almost covering a large block.

From the entrance of the market, in the dark outline, rows of stalls continued to extend into the depths, and there was no end in sight.

In the dark vision, only the blurred outline and some human figures could be seen, but what was inside could not be seen.

"Young man, if you come to the vegetable market for the first time, you'd better read the rules here."

The old lady selling chestnuts said faintly.

At this time, Chen Ye turned his head and found a sign next to the entrance of the market.

The words above are bright red, like twisted and wriggling blood, and are still clearly visible in the dark——
