Chapter 367: Her Face

Chapter 367 – Her Face

As soon as Saul made his move, he completely controlled the two infighting companions, and Mark and Kongsa looked over at the same time.

Mark’s face showed obvious uneasiness, while Kongsa’s eyes revealed an interested luster.

Kongsha winked at Saul, and the smile on her face grew even wider.

Saul only looked at it for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

There was one thing he wanted to ask just now, only to be interrupted by two infighting people.

“Apprentices who are here still disappear? Can death be confirmed?”

“Can’t.” Kongsa finally put away her relaxed expression, “Some people disappear after they die, while others suddenly disappear. But they all show abnormalities before they disappear. For example, Leon, he said he saw the exit, and then surprisingly tried to let Cassillo burn him to death.”

Mark pursed his dry lips, “I think he just wanted to relieve himself.”

Konza nodded approvingly, “Naturally, Cassillo disagreed, and then Leon ran off. I was worried that he was running amok and attracting elves, but just two steps after him, he disappeared behind a big tree. Heh, it’s like he actually found the exit.”

At this time the two people who were trapped seemed to be gradually coming to their senses. Especially Monroe, who whimpered lowly at Sol.

Saul then asked Komo to untie him, and Monroe, who had regained his freedom, really didn’t attack again.

On the other side of the room, Kashiro Koshi also stopped struggling, and seeing this, Saul also untied her.

Anyway, if they make any more trouble, they will be tied up again.

It’s not certain what shape they’ll be tied into next time.

Leaving the two alone, Saul asked Kongsa, “Since he disappeared, is it possible that he actually found the exit?”

“If the person who disappeared was the one who found the exit, then someone would have already sent the message back in the past six months.” Kong Sha was not hopeful.

Saul took another look at the mushrooms and other food held in Herman’s arms, “So you guys are just going to eat these?”

“It can’t be helped,” Kongsa hooked her mouth up, “The bodies have all disappeared.”

Saul’s heart was creeped out, he didn’t pursue the deep meaning of Kongsha’s words, and turned to ask, “Where did Leon disappear, I’ll go over and see if there are any other clues.”

Kong Sha squinted over, and Saul met her gaze without changing his face.

Monroe said in a muffled voice, “It’s no use, we’ve searched for all the people who have disappeared, and there’s not a trace of a clue.”

“It would be good for Saul to check it out, otherwise why did we invite him here specifically?” Monroe threw cold water, but Mark was the one who felt that Saul should be allowed to go over and take a look.

After all, this guy’s mental talent was indeed amazing.

Kong Sha let out a light laugh, her eyes narrowing as she turned back and pointed at a direction behind her.

“Over there, about 300 meters further after re-entering the forest. But the large tree where Leon disappeared is not inconspicuous, and I can’t remember exactly which one it was.”

“Good.” Saul nodded, then instructed the four people around himself, “Morton, you and Herman organize the food here, and continue searching the rooms here by the way. Anne, Agu, you two follow me over there.”

Under the watchful eyes of the remaining few, who were either wooden, worried, or complicated, Saul led Ann and Agu into the woods at the back of the meadow.

After entering the woods, Ann perked up a bit, she even walked to Saul’s side with her hands behind her back, craning her neck with a deliberate yet stiff smile on her face.

“Master, when you came in, you were obviously in a hurry to find a beautiful woman, why did you see a beautiful woman and leave without properly greeting her?”

Ann was flirting with Saul, but Saul didn’t look at her helplessly like before.

Saul walked forward quickly with no expression on his face, but his voice came through.

“Do you really think she’s good looking?”

Ann froze, not understanding why Saul suddenly asked that.

Saul turned his head slightly sideways and said to Agu, who was following him to his right, “Agu, you should know, or have seen, Kong Sha, right?”

Agu hurriedly said, “Yes, master, at one time, Kong Sha was also a regular visitor to the library.”

The silhouettes of the several people had already gone deep into the deep forest, and the large trees behind them blocked the line of sight from the grass.

Saul stopped.

“As far as you can remember,” Saul pointed to the bridge of his nose, “is Kongsa here above …… a woman’s face?”

Agu stopped with him, staring blankly at Saul’s nose, a slightly dazed expression on his face.

But soon, the trance turned into shock, and a drop of sweat ran down his forehead along his temples.

Only Anne wasn’t quite sure what was happening yet, but looking at the expressions on Saul’s and Agu’s faces, she knew that she was afraid that something bizarre had happened again. Before she could inquire, she heard Agu say in a slightly trembling voice, “Kongsha, Kongsha she clearly, clearly has no upper half of her face!”

Saul took a deep breath, then he continued to step forward.

“That’s right, the current Kongsha has a very good-looking face. I also felt that that face suited her perfectly at the first sight of her, and it was only at the second sight that I felt that something was wrong.”

The two Consciousnesses also felt creeped out.

At the time they saw Kong Sha, they still felt that Kong Sha was the most normal person among the four.

But now it was surprising to realize that her face had turned complete. And they didn’t notice the abnormality.

Saul whispered, “I’ve encountered something similar once. Obviously it was the first time I met someone, but I subconsciously took him as my brother.”

Kismet, Kongsa’s abnormality, is it related to you?

Saul didn’t mention Kismet to the Consciousnesses, and was both wary and unusually trusting of the only person who currently knew the diary’s details.

An finally realized what had happened at this time, and she rubbed her forehead, “So, was what we just saw the Kongsha who changed her appearance, or …… someone else?”

“Can’t be sure yet.” Sol also hesitated for a moment, “But her tone of voice and movements were consistent with the original.”

“Then could it be that your tone and movements for her speech were blurred?”

Saul had by now walked to the general direction that Kongsa had mentioned and began to scout around.

At the same time, he said in a rather certain tone, “No. Although my cognition was also affected at first, I regained all of my normal memories once I recalled Kongsa’s appearance.”

The reason why Saul was so certain, besides the fact that the diary didn’t show the alarm, was that he believed in his own meditative thoughts.

Although it is still unknown who put the erosion map into his meditation textbook, the meditation idea was practically made for him.

And the erosion chart itself is an interconversion of human and monster, with some dabbling in blurring and modifying consciousness. Thus having once recognized Kismet’s disguise, he was also quick to notice Kongsa’s abnormality.

“So what do we do next?” Agu asked Sol.

Whether it was a fight or an act, all their actions were under Saul’s command.

“Don’t act rashly yet. We haven’t figured out what’s happening to her, to the others ……”

Halfway through his sentence, Saul suddenly turned his head to look behind Ann.

Seeing Sol’s movements, Ann immediately realized that there was something abnormal behind her.

Just as she was about to crouch down to avoid it, she was grabbed by Saul’s shoulder, and the two of them quickly moved three or four meters.

“Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!”

Something hit the soil with a dull sound.

“Agu, did you see that?” Thor was still staring in the direction of Ann’s back.

“Yes!” Agu couldn’t be bothered to be polite at this point, “A lot of people suddenly appeared there just now!”

As Saul turned his head sideways to talk to An, his afterglow suddenly saw many pale figures appearing where a large staff tree had originally grown.

Those silhouettes had once appeared behind Mark as well.

But this time, although they still hung their heads low and their faces could not be seen, they all had their bows and arrows raised in their hands.

Ann’s reaction was already fast, she immediately thought that an enemy might have appeared behind her when she realized the change in Sol’s eyes, so she tried to crouch her body to avoid it.

However, she didn’t expect that not one enemy appeared behind her, but a large number of enemies.

They launched an attack on Anne, and the rain of swords drew an arc, stabbing at Anne’s back like a thunderbolt.

However, when the few people backed up to a safe range, all of those pale silhouettes disappeared.

Only a sound of arrows plunging into the ground remained.

However, when Saul went to look at the ground again, he didn’t see any abnormality, there were no traces left on the ground by the arrow attack, and there were no blades of grass that had been shattered.

The sound just now was as if it was an illusion.

“Hallucination?” Saul righted An in his arms and was pondering, when his eyes suddenly stagnated.

The lower edge of the wizard’s robe behind Ann’s back was unexpectedly torn by something with a long gash.
