Why were they all staring at him like that?
Suddenly, Xie Lian heard a whisper from the side.
âSo similar..â
âItâs not just similarâ¦itâs the exact same!â
âIs it really him?â
Someone bluntly asked, âYou areâ¦that prince?â
Out of habit, Xie Lian started to say, âIâm notâ¦â
Yet, before he could finish, he realized that the white silk that he used to cover his face had been undone. In this moment, the thing that had him completely tied down was that exact white silk. His face was now fully exposed in front of the crowd before him.
Xie Lianâs heart felt as if it was dangled by a single thread, but he steeled himself and met those gazes.
He didnât know if it was just his imagination, but he saw a tinge of suspicion stirring inside the looks that they gave him. But at least, perhaps due to the imminent danger at hand, those eyes didnât bear any hatred or anger as he had feared. However, in the next second, a wave of inhuman howls sounded from outside the temple.
Xie Lian whipped his head around and discovered that the source of the howl came from the Face Disease infectees that he had previously knocked down. They had somehow regained their footing and their number had increased. Hand in hand, they circled outside of the Crown Prince temple while chanting. One couldnât tell if they were performing a horrifying ritual or whether they were purely dancing as the crazed demons they were. The crowd inside the temple huddled together in absolute terror. A young child broke out in tears and the parents took him into their arms while covering his eyes and ears. Every face in the room was stricken with horror.
âWhat do we do? What do we do?â
âWould these people be able to break inâ¦â
âEven if they donât charge in, since theyâre so close, would we also get infected?...What will we do if we accidentally get infected?!â
Xie Lian fought against his bindings, but wasnât able to loosen them in the slightest. It seemed that this white silk had already been tampered with, and had probably been injected with spiritual power.
With veins visibly seen on his forehead from the continuous struggle, he roared, âWhite No-Face!â
No response came, instead an icy-cold hand patted his head. Xie Lian froze, goosebumps rising. The scene that he saw as he turned his head made him paralyzed.
No wonder the people below him were giving him strange staresânot only was his face exposed, but White No-Face was also seated right behind him, in the darkness.
In front of such an eccentric character dressed in white robes, no one dared to let out a single breath, let alone move carelessly. As a result, White No-Face barely regarded them as anything and, under everyoneâs watchful eyes, he helped Xie Lian up.
Xie Lian came up to a sitting position from where he laid. Sitting on top of the altar, it seemed as if he was a bound, living statue. Aside from moving his eyes and neck, he wasnât able to do anything else.
