Chapter 247: The 'Faceless Man' Appears! The Feast... Begins!

~7 min read 1,354 words

The sudden change made the three people present shudder endlessly.

"Cough!"

Xue Yong felt the sharp pain from his face, tears streaming down.

He struggled to open his eyes to look at the "Faceless Man" in front of him, endless fear erupting in his heart.

"Run!"

Xue Yong shouted, immediately stomped on the floor twice, and disappeared by turning invisible.

Lai Siyao came back to her senses upon hearing this and immediately used her talent to strengthen her speed.

She was fast, but the "Faceless Man" was faster!

Only to see a blurry afterimage flash by, and Lai Siyao, who had just run out of the door, was grabbed by the hair and thrown backward violently.

Due to inertia, her whole person lost weight and flew up, her back parallel to the ground, then hit the wall of the security room heavily.

"Bang!"

The bookcase shook endlessly, and dust fell like a torrential rain.

Lai Siyao spat out a mouthful of blood, her face listless.

The scalp area was swollen, and it wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying the force of the "Faceless Man" was.

Su Yang guessed that it could even be on par with the "Butcher" in his prime.

"Why can you seize her body? Where is she?"

The "Faceless Man" didn't move, suddenly reaching out to grab toward the left.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, only to see her palm in a grabbing state, as if grabbing a ball of air.

"Let me go!" Xue Yong's hoarse voice came out.

The next moment, the "Faceless Man" raised her arm and smashed it toward the ground with force.

"Boom!"

Just once, and Xue Yong was completely silent.

Su Yang looked at this extraordinary combat power, his heart shaking greatly.

Qin Weiyang's original physical fitness and combat experience were both top-tier.

Now that the "Faceless Man" had possessed her, her strength had gone up another level.

Not only was she faster than Lai Siyao, who had "speed enhancement."

She could also accurately grab Xue Yong, who was "invisible."

"Su Yang, think of a way!" Lai Siyao shouted.

If the battlefield were in the underground passage, he might have a way to rescue them.

But there was the most fatal problem right now—

Even if the "Faceless Man" was cleared, it would randomly possess someone else.

In other words, if Su Yang saved Qin Weiyang, there would also be a risk of being "infected."

However...

If hard tactics didn't work, then use soft ones!

Thinking of this, Su Yang glanced at the "air" that was alive or dead, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Drag her down!"

As he spoke, Su Yang pulled out his folding knife and rushed toward the "Faceless Man."

At the same time, Lai Siyao swept out, grabbing the "Faceless Man's" hands at an extremely fast speed.

However, before she could succeed, a huge force suddenly struck.

"I can't hold on..." Lai Siyao said with all her might.

As soon as the words fell, the "Faceless Man" threw her away with a flick of her hand, smashing the bookcase to pieces.

Su Yang seized the opportunity and stabbed her in the thigh.

Just as the blade was about to touch, a huge force like a wave crashed into his chest.

"Pfft!"

Su Yang spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his sternum crack.

The attack failed, but there was no hesitation or fear on his face, only a smile.

"You fell for it."

The "Faceless Man" was about to teach this ignorant guy a lesson.

But her body suddenly went soft, falling to the ground like a boneless shrimp.

Lai Siyao struggled to get up and saw this "horrifying" scene, slightly stunned.

"How did you do it?"

Su Yang stroked his chest, propped up his upper body, and pointed: "Anesthetic."

Lai Siyao looked in that direction and saw a long, thin needle tube stuck in the "Faceless Man's" thigh.

"Can this thing anesthetize strange objects?"

"Things from the prison didn't say they could only anesthetize players," Su Yang said weakly, then lay down straight and fell unconscious.

"Su Yang!" Lai Siyao was shocked in her heart and hurriedly stepped forward to check his injuries.

When she pulled up his clothes, she couldn't help but gasp.

Only to see his chest full of bruises, a black-purple patch, and his sternum slightly sunken.

It wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying the force contained in that kick was.

At this moment, Xue Yong's "invisibility" talent disappeared.

Revealing a miserable appearance.

His face had already swollen into a pig's head, one arm hanging down, and he slowly stood up.

"Dorm check time is almost here, don't worry about him."

"But..." Lai Siyao's eyes were filled with worry.

"He's already like this. Do you have a way to bring him into the dormitory?" Xue Yong shouted.

Lai Siyao bit her lower lip and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Xue Yong added fuel to the fire, "You can't even save yourself, don't be stupid."

As he spoke, he took out the small box containing the key from Qin Weiyang's pocket, and then came to Su Yang's side, taking out the half-key from his pocket.

"The loser doesn't deserve to have the key, but... I will walk this road to the end in his place."

Xue Yong just wanted to pull out the diary, but found that Su Yang was holding it tightly, motionless.

"Damn it!"

He gritted his teeth, tore the diary apart, grabbed a few pages randomly, and ran away as if fleeing.

Although Lai Siyao couldn't bear it, she thought of her own situation and the consequences of being found missing during the dorm check.

So she turned and left.

A few minutes later, following the broadcast sound from the dormitory.

Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light appearing in his pupils.

"Just as I thought, you finally did it after all."

He climbed up from the ground, folded the remaining few pages of the diary, and tucked them into his pocket.

He then looked at the "Faceless Man" lying to the side.

To be precise, it had now turned back into Qin Weiyang.

Her beautiful face had her eyes closed, her eyebrows furrowed into a "chuan" shape, as if she were having a nightmare.

Su Yang picked her up and slowly walked out of the security room and down the mountain.

Along the way, he looked at the mottled bloodstains mixed in the soil and couldn't help but look down at the "Sleeping Beauty" in his arms.

"So the root of the 'Faceless Man' was hidden in the key..."

He had originally thought about how to "send" the key out in a reasonable and logical way.

The plan was to pretend to cooperate, "reluctantly" send out half the key to show sincerity.

Who would have thought that the "Faceless Man" had already possessed Qin Weiyang.

Appearing without warning, catching everyone off guard.

"No... the warning had already appeared," Su Yang recalled what happened in the morning.

Qin Weiyang appeared with inexplicable stomach pain symptoms.

Perhaps as early as last night, she had been infected with the root of the disaster.

If luck had been a little worse, the "Faceless Man" would have been him.

It's hard to imagine what the outcome would have been if he had been possessed.

Although he lost an anesthetic, the result was good.

"Now... the key and diary are in their hands. Will the Guardians continue to let them hunt for treasure, or will they find a way to make a move?"

"Tang Hui hasn't made a move yet; did he know long ago that the 'Faceless Man' would possess someone?"

Thinking of this, Su Yang curled his lips.

From the beginning of this game, the high-ranking Guardians firmly grasped the source of information.

They had many ways to figure out the secrets of this school.

While the treasure hunters below ran around like headless flies.

Like clowns performing in a circus, for people to watch.

But from now on—

"It's time for you to leave the stage too..." ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
