Chapter 110 Weird Disappearance

A few days is enough for Gu Chen to master the newly acquired ability.

So now even if the mask is taken off, everyone will only think that Gu Chen is very beautiful, but they will not forget to breathe and heartbeat because of it.

Seeing Gu Chen coming down, the captain of the guard walked over, he looked at Gu Chen with a flash of surprise, and then asked:

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Let the carriage stop for a while, and let's rest where we are."

Gu Chen smiled at him.

The captain of the guard was stunned for a while, and said in a rather embarrassed way:

"This...it seems not good for us to stop here. It's still raining today. If the young master feels tired, we can walk this way first. I remember there is a village near the exit. We can..."

"Can't you?"

Gu Chen didn't wait for the captain of the guard to finish speaking, he just tilted his head to look at the captain of the guard, and asked softly.

The captain of the guard was silent for a while, even his breathing stopped for a short time, then he nodded immediately and said:
"I'm going to tell them to stop."

The captain of the guard sent an order, and all the servants and guards who were marching also stopped.

Some of these people were dissatisfied with this. Driving on a rainy day is already very uncomfortable. They are not as good as the young master and lady sitting in the carriage. They all want to hurry through the woods to reach the village town for a rest.

As a result, Gu Chen asked everyone to stop now. Although these guards did not dare to talk back to Gu Chen due to their status, they were still dissatisfied in their hearts.

However, all the dissatisfaction in these people's hearts disappeared the moment they saw Gu Chen.

They looked at Gu Chen, with only Gu Chen's figure in their eyes, nothing else.

At this moment, their thoughts changed in an instant, and the previous complaints were gone, replaced by an inexplicable sense of honor.

Protecting Gu Chen seems to be the most honorable thing for them at this moment. Even if Gu Chen lets them stay here in the rain, they will never have any complaints.

The attendants stopped, and Yue He, who was riding in front of the team and followed the leader, also walked in front of Gu Chen.

When Yue He saw Gu Chen, he was also momentarily stunned.

When I saw Gu Chen today, he had a mask on his face, which made Yue He wonder why Gu Chen did this for a while, but Gu Chen didn't say anything, and Yue He couldn't ask.

But now seeing Gu Chen's appearance under the mask, Yue He instantly understood everything.

Although Gu Chen's appearance is still the same as before, at most there have been some insignificant changes in details, but Yue He feels that there will never be anyone more beautiful than Gu Chen in this world.

Be it a man or a woman.

If one has such an appearance, then it is reasonable to wear a mask. After all, such an appearance has transcended gender. If it is not covered up, it will cause riots no matter where it goes.

Yue He thought in his heart, but he didn't forget his purpose of coming to Gu Chen. He paused and asked:
"Ning Shun, what's the problem? Are you tired?"

"A little bit, and, I feel something is wrong."

Gu Chen looked at the back of the convoy and asked Yue He:

"Brother Yue, were there so few people when we came out?"

"Ok?"

Yue He didn't understand, so he looked behind the convoy. After a brief glance, Yue He said:
"Aren't these people when we came out?"

"... But in my feeling, we should have more people."

"It's your illusion."

Yue He looked at the team behind him a few more times, and said to Gu Chen.

He didn't feel that there were few people, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong. He thought it might be Gu Chen's illusion.

But Gu Chen didn't think so.

Although Gu Chen didn't remember how many people were in the convoy before, and now he really can't tell if there are fewer people, but Gu Chen believes in Hei Simou. Since Hei Simou said that there are fewer people, then the convoy must have fewer people.

The people in the team are not aware of this, probably because some weirdness has changed their common sense.

Although this matter is outrageous, Gu Chen can only explain it in this way now.

Seeing Yue He's disbelief, Gu Chen let out a breath slowly, and said in a faint tone:
"Brother Yue, you don't believe me."

"..."

As soon as Gu Chen's words came out, Yue He was immediately speechless. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just said seriously:
"...I'll have someone check it out."

Seeing Gu Chen's expression, Yue He didn't know why but chose to believe it.

In other words, no matter what Gu Chen said now, even if Gu Chen said that the sun in the sky was square, Yue He would believe him.

It has nothing to do with reason or logic, as long as Gu Chen says it, he will believe it.

It's not just Yue He who thinks this way, but other people do think so too. Even after searching around and finding that there are not many people, these people discuss and join forces and decide to 'lie' to Gu Chen.

"Master, there are indeed fewer people."

The captain of the guard said to Gu Chen seriously.

Gu Chen looked at him in surprise, and then asked:

"How many less?"

"Uh... less... how many? Young master, how many do you think are missing?"

The guard captain asked cautiously.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Gu Chen's mouth twitched, then he shook his head helplessly, counted the number of people and said:
"There should be less... more than three, right?"

"Master, you feel right, but there are more than three missing."

"..."

Gu Chen didn't know what to say right now.

He could clearly feel that the guy in front of him didn't notice that there were fewer people, but because Gu Chen said that there were fewer people, he felt that there must be fewer people, and echoed all Gu Chen's words.

It even sounded a bit like flattery, but Gu Chen felt that it was a kind of unconditional doting rather than flattery.

They don't want to disappoint Gu Chen, don't want to make Gu Chen sad, they will do everything they can to satisfy any of Gu Chen's thoughts.

I re-examined my own powers again, [Increased likes and dislikes] and [Shameless Bride] combined, can actually exert such a level of magic power, it seems that we should be careful when using this skill in the future.

Otherwise, this ability can easily make people get lost in the pursuit of everyone. If he loses his reason and normality because of this, and lives only to seek the pursuit and love of others, then Gu Chen is probably not far from death.

Looking at the people who had joined together to 'play games' with him, Gu Chen sighed softly, then smiled at everyone and said:
"Now that you know that there are fewer people, you should be careful not to lose any more people. Everyone should look at each other. It is best to connect each other with ropes."

"Understood, master."

Everyone's morale was high, although no one noticed the decrease in the number of people in the team, but they were willing to believe Gu Chen's words, and therefore cooperated with all his actions.

Let everyone get ready, after a short stay, the convoy set off again.

This time, in addition to asking everyone to tie ropes on their bodies, Gu Chen also asked them to report the number at regular intervals to confirm the number of people.

"one!"

"two!"

"..."

"25."

"26."

After walking for a while like this, nothing seemed to happen.

But suddenly, Gu Chen stopped again, and suddenly looked behind him:

"Finally, count again!"

"...23...Master, what's wrong?"

The person at the end asked in surprise, he was number 23 at the end of the line, and there was no one after him.

But Gu Chen clearly remembered that at the beginning of the counting, the person at the end should be '26'.

Three more people missing?

Gu Chen couldn't sit still at the moment, he immediately ran to the back of the line, looked at the guard who reported 23, and at the same time his eyes fell on his waist.

Just now, at Gu Chen's request, everyone had ropes tied around their waists, and for the person at the back of the line, the rope should be completely wrapped around his waist, and there would be no extra piece at the back.

But now, the waist rope of No. 23 has some slender ropes extending from the back. These ropes are dragged on the ground, covered with muddy water, and it can be seen that they should have been dragged for a certain distance.

But No. 23 in front of him didn't seem to notice anything.

"Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Gu Chen stared straight at the man and asked.

The man was stunned, scratched his head and said:
"Master, I don't think there is anything wrong..."

"Is this rope like this before?"

"That's right, sir."

"What about the people behind?"

"Is there anyone behind..."

No. 23 continued. Originally, he wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Chen's increasingly gloomy face, he immediately closed his mouth and changed his words:
"I...I may have misremembered, young master, maybe..."

"enough!"

Gu Chen scolded the man to shut up.

Meaningless echoes will only interfere with judgment. Of course, Gu Chen knows that these people are now completely self-centered, and they can open their eyes and talk nonsense in order to please themselves.

But sometimes, such a situation will make it even more difficult for Gu Chen to judge whether it is his own problem or the woods really has a problem.

Gu Chen didn't ask this person any more, the situation was urgent, and he didn't care about that, so he immediately called the guards and took out the banknotes and handed them to him:
"Let everyone write their names on it!"

"Master, that...I...I can't read..."

The captain of the guard looked embarrassed.

Ordinary civilians don't have the right to read and write. Reading and literacy is the privilege of the children of those aristocratic families. Although the captain of the guard knows his name and can recognize his own name, if he is asked to write, it will be a bit embarrassing for him.

"You say it, I write it!"

Gu Chen said decisively.

Everyone immediately came forward and said their names to Gu Chen one by one.

Gu Chen took a brush and wrote word by word, recording everyone's names.

Fortunately, during this period of time, Gu Chen has been following the teaching phenomenon to learn to read and write the Four Books and Five Classics, and practice calligraphy every day. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to write such beautiful calligraphy.

After recording everyone's names on the paper, Gu Chen and his party set off again. Gu Chen returned to the carriage and sat down, looking down at the names in his hands from time to time.

After another half an hour or so, Gu Chen looked at the note full of names in his hand again, and suddenly fell into silence.

There were three missing names on it, and what was even more frightening was that although Gu Chen knew that there were three missing, he couldn't remember their names no matter what.

"...Hei Si Mou is right."

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Chen was finally sure that Hei Si Mou's feeling was correct.

The number of teams is indeed decreasing.

They are disappearing inexplicably.
