her left eye is unusual

Chapter 486 Chapter 1 Mysterious Village [-]
The old village head subconsciously passed Su Xin and looked at the big tree behind her...

Despite the rustling sound above, the ground was empty.

Is it too late?Or are they outside the sentient beings?
The village head waved his withered hand and interrupted Su Xin: "To be honest, we haven't... made a mask yet, but if you can stay here for two more days, maybe you can have one."

"That's right." Su Xin replied.

Their original plan was to come and return today, because they were afraid that something unimaginable and difficult to deal with would happen in the tranquility of this village.

At this moment, Zhixiang interjected: "Village Chief, don't you have a lot of masks on this tree? Can you take one down and let us have a look?"

In fact, Su Xin also thought of this point, but she remembered that Su Qin wrote in that travel note: the masks hanging on the trees are used by the villagers to pray for blessings.

Since it is something to pray for blessings, there is no reason to take it off casually.

But then she thought again, she had never seen or heard of people hanging masks on trees to pray for blessings. At this moment, looking in the direction of Zhixiang's finger, she saw the mask closest to them.

Hanging from the end of a thin branch, there is not even a trace of a rope.

Su Xin looked up, and with the shaking of the branches and leaves, she finally saw the whole shape of the mask.

Indeed, there is no sign of a rope, but a slender branch grows from the petiole, and the mask hangs from these branches.

Inexplicably, I felt a little panicked.

Although the world is full of wonders, it is the first time I have seen a mask growing on a tree.

At this moment, there was only a light "click", and a mask fell off the branch, and then fell lightly.

The white mask fell in the air lightly, like a very light leaf.

This scene happened so suddenly, the old village head was also very surprised.

He looked at Su Xin and the others, swept his eyes back and forth several times, finally landed on Su Xin, and asked solemnly: "Who are you guys?"

Su Xin was also taken aback by the strange scene in front of her just now, and when she heard the question, she replied: "Village Chief, do you think we can take a step to talk?"

Subconsciously glanced at the villagers surrounding them, they all looked at them curiously and unexpectedly.

Taking a step back, even if these villagers suddenly rioted, Su Xin was not afraid, but she was afraid that what she said would be a bit abrupt, which would cause misunderstandings and conflicts.And it seems that the village head has enough authority here, and it is enough to communicate with him alone.

The village chief fixedly took a look at Su Xin. Although she looked like a very young girl, she had a sincere expression and a calm and introverted temperament exuding from her body, so she nodded to the villagers who were also a little at a loss. Everyone turned towards Su Xin. Xin and the others looked suspiciously, then looked at the mask on the ground, and then dispersed.

Su Xin then said: "Today I really did not intend to offend Guicun, and please forgive me. To be honest, three years ago, our friend went to Guicun, took back the mask from here, and then disappeared inexplicably. It’s like suddenly disappearing from the world, so I came here specially this time to find out what’s the reason behind it.”

Because the discipline in this village is too strong, Su Xin doesn't think that undercover investigation will get more information than direct inquiry.

The village chief sighed and said, "I don't think you are ordinary people, but if you want to know more, then go and see for yourself."

After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back and stooped away.

At this moment, Su Xin looked back at the mask that fell to the ground just now, and Zhixiang was about to climb up the stone platform to pick it up.

Su Xin hurriedly called out: "Don't move."

Zhixiang froze for a moment and asked, "What?"

At this moment, the mask seemed to be blown by an invisible wind, and it floated lightly to his hand.

And Zhixiang picked it up casually.

It was too late for Su Xin to stop, she suddenly thought of a word: God's will.

Zhixiang fumbled for the mask lightly, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he was pleasantly surprised: "That's right, that's how it feels, I'll try it on."

As he spoke, he put the white mask directly on his face.

There are no rubber bands or ropes, but the mask fits perfectly on the face.

Su Xin looked at it, showing a terrified expression. The light mask seemed to be alive. It squirmed and adjusted its size, and it became more and more suitable for Zhixiang's face...

Almost subconsciously, Su Xin stepped forward and tore off the mask.

Under the mask, Zhixiang's face also turned pale, but his expression seemed to be excited and puzzled, not the paleness that seemed to be frightened at all.

He asked Su Xin puzzledly: "What are you doing? Why did you take it off? I think it's very comfortable to wear, and I don't feel any inconvenience at all."

Su Xin gave Shi Feng a wink, and the latter stepped forward and pulled Zhi Xiang: "From now on, don't walk three steps away from my side, and don't touch anything casually."

Seeing the serious expressions of the three of them, Zhixiang defended innocently: "No, no, that... I just tried it on my face. You don't think I will disappear inexplicably, do you?"

Shi Feng: "Whether you disappear or not has nothing to do with us, but since we are a team and together, I will try my best to ensure your safety. Of course, if you still insist on going your own way, you will leave me now within three steps." In addition, I promise that I will not interfere with any of your words and deeds."

It is one thing to protect others, but it is also necessary for others to appreciate it.

This is the usual style of the Zero Detective Agency—never force it!
Zhixiang was upset, he looked down at the distance between himself and Shi Feng, subconsciously took a step closer, and asked in a low voice timidly: "Is this... is this distance three steps?"

After this episode, several people walked around the village under the leadership of the villagers.

The mask taken away by Su Xin gradually turned into a soft white cotton-like thing in her hands, and then slowly softened, dripping to the ground like white glue, and blending into the soil.

But in the whole village, except for the big tree and the mask in the middle, everything else is normal.

The wide land in the middle grows seasonal food and vegetables, and various wild fruits and other things grow on the surrounding mountains. Villagers often go to the mountains to cut firewood and collect fruits, so it is barely enough for the people in the village to live.

Most of the village is young and middle-aged and children, except for the village head, there are only two or three old people who look like 70 or [-] years old.

Passing by a house, Su Xin saw a gray-haired old woman combing the hair of a teenage girl.

While combing his shriveled mouth, he muttered inaudible and incomprehensible words, his eyes were full of love and reluctance.
