Chapter 650 Masked Face
The market spreads from the foot to the end of the sight, spreading a bustling worldly hustle and bustle.
The oil lamps were either static or moving, making the street extraordinarily bright. There were shadowy figures inside, and you could vaguely hear some shrewd gentlemen and ladies shouting about who had stepped on whose feet, and who had stepped on whom. skirt.
It is quite lively.
There were everything sold on both sides, mostly daily necessities and food. Yu Xing stepped forward, looking through the gaps between people, and saw what looked like fresh vegetables placed on the stalls. , the cabbage leaves are even stained with water drops, looking fresh and clear.
Carodi followed Yu Xing closely, shrouding his body in the light of the oil lamp.
They were not the only two sharing a portable oil lamp. Looking at it, Yu Xing could see several pairs of people sharing the same oil lamp. They were either lovers or brothers - there were also people who looked like mother and son.
Without exception, these people stood very close to each other, as if they were afraid that the oil lamp would not shine on any of them.
It's just that the expressions of these people cannot be seen clearly because they are all wearing masks. All the stall owners and buyers were wearing similar masks, and even their clothes had no distinctive features, as if they were deliberately weakening their own characteristics.
Yu Xing thought thoughtfully, the importance of the oil lamp is self-evident. I am afraid that if you want to walk in this market without the oil lamp, something terrible will happen, and the same will happen if you are recognized.
Interesting, he and Carlodie now represent the hotel, but what about these other people? Where do they all come from?
“These tomatoes are pretty good.” Kalodi suddenly said to a stall.
Yu Xing came back to his senses and looked around, and found that the stall specialized in tomatoes. Several boxes of red tomatoes were quite large and round and stacked on top of each other.
"So, I am now responsible for purchasing everyone's food and clothing for the whole day tomorrow?" Yu Xing tilted his head and confirmed to Kalodi in a low voice.
“Well, buy some tomatoes, Xixi likes to eat them.” Kalodi said.
Yu Xing paused for two seconds. He was actually thinking about why the money was in Kalodi's and Kalodi couldn't buy it himself.
But this may be some kind of purchasing rule, after all, the oil lamp is in his hand now.
He squeezed to the stall, imitated other buyers, picked out a bag of tomatoes, and asked Kalodi to pay.
“I want to eat the kind of bread I ate today.” Yu Xing said casually.
Carodi was obviously very familiar with the market. He raised his chin when he heard the words: "The bread is in front."
The two of them walked through many buyers wearing masks.
During this period, Yu Xing deliberately stepped on the skirt of a woman wearing a cake skirt.
"Oh! Be careful!" The woman just complained, patted her skirt after Yu Xing kicked off, and left as if nothing had happened.
Looks...very non-violent.
"Newly arrived clothes! Only ten pieces!" shouted the stall owner from the stall in front, briefly attracting the attention of buyers.
However, it seemed that everyone came mainly to buy food. Most people took a look at the stall and left without interest.
Yu Xing tentatively asked: "Clothes? Can we buy them?"
“…Okay, Daisy always buys it.” Carlodie replied, “She likes to dress Sissy up in different ways, and she herself—oh, the bread is right there, did you see it?”
Yu Xing raised his brows through the darkness covering half of his body and the tight mask.
Carody seemed to have not finished speaking just now, and changed the subject because he remembered something.
And he just said... Daisy likes to dress up Sissy? This doesn't sound like a sign of a very poor mother-daughter relationship.
Yu Xing temporarily tolerated what he discovered was wrong and went to the bread stall to buy enough for two meals.
Then he sighed as if unintentionally: "The market is so lively, like the only gap in a closed space..."
There was exclamation and "joy" in his tone, like a person who was cursed to never leave the hotel and suddenly discovered the only exception.
Carlo Di glanced around and said expressionlessly: "I'm afraid this gap is not as beautiful as you thought." Yu Xing: "Huh? What do you mean..."
"ah!!"
Before he finished speaking, a heart-rending scream came from behind, and everyone stopped and looked at the place where the scream came from.
Yu Xingye turned his head sharply. At this moment, he sensed a kind of malice from behind.
It is a kind of maliciousness that spreads out randomly, and it is not clear who is targeted. Sometimes this is more troublesome, because the maliciousness is an indiscriminate attack.
Then, he saw a place where people spontaneously dispersed to the side, revealing a man who had fallen to the ground.
Coincidentally, the person who fell to the ground was the woman whose skirt was "accidentally" stepped on by Yu Xing just now. The lively woman who had no anger just now was lying face down, with the light yellow cake skirt starting from the waist. Blood gushes out and quickly spreads around.
Yu Xing squinted his eyes and noticed that the oil lamp tightly held in the woman's hand had been extinguished. The bottom of the lamp had obviously been opened artificially, and the tube containing the lamp oil was missing.
“Here he comes again, who is it?” someone asked in panic.
“That market murderer! How many more will he kill tonight?”
The fear in their words didn't seem fake, it was like ordinary living people encountering a murder case on the street.
Carodi's mouth under the mask moved, and whispered in Yu Xing's ear: "Don't panic, and don't be too calm. It's the masked face that kills."
Everyone here is wearing a mask.
But 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 us,” Kalodi said.
This sentence...actually reveals a lot of information.
Because this denies the possibility that the masked face is coming for Yu Xing, although... the masked face really shouldn't know that Yu Xing replaced Daisy tonight.
In other words...every night, Masked Face is looking for Daisy and Kalody to kill them?
Maskface wants to kill Daisy?
Several possibilities flashed through Yu Xing's mind, and he vaguely grasped some inspiration. However, he wanted to see the situation again, so he nodded lightly: "I understand."
At the same time, Yu Xing quietly let go of his senses, disappeared into the market, and began to look for the malicious person who only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.
There was some commotion in the crowd.
Maliciousness resurfaces.
Yu Xing curled his lips and locked him in an instant, never letting the other party escape his senses.
He spoke: "Why are the masked faces killing people in the market? Is it because they can't find us, so they attack randomly to try their luck?"
“You are very smart.” Kalody did not deny it.
“Every day?”
“As long as...he's not sleeping in Daisy's room, that's every day.”
Yu Xing: "Then he has never been caught? So many people can't do anything with a masked face? Is he so powerful?"
"...Can't catch him." Kalodi tapped Yu Xing's mask symbolically with his hand, "Keep your voice down, don't be heard.... If you can catch him at night, you can kill him directly. The problem is, He's so good at hiding, he's a natural killer."
"It sounds like Daisy has a reason for sleeping with him." Yu Xing suddenly chuckled, "I seem to understand a lot...she seems to be a woman who doesn't mean what she says."
Carodi frowned: "Don't mention her name, do you want to be discovered?"
"It's okay, Kalodi." Yu Xing tilted his head, grabbed the oil lamp and suddenly walked to one side, "What if I catch him."
