Chapter 289: Conspiracy

I stared at the reflection in the stone wall for a long time, and felt very uncomfortable in my heart.

I was injured these days, and the curse in my body is constantly developing. Is it so serious?

And now I am very suspicious that the old high priest took advantage of the time to heal my wounds and find a way to speed up the development of the curse in my body.

It seems that I have to find a way to get my backpack back as soon as possible.

In my bag, there is a medicine given to me by Yu Chengyao, which can prevent the curse from developing.

However, just as I was thinking about how to speak, I found someone who felt very familiar to me passed by.

I looked up and saw that the person passing by was Qin Xiaolian.

I thought about it, but still wanted to say hello to her.

But what surprised me was that the woman glanced at me and turned out to pass with a very calm expression, without saying a word.

I was a little confused at that time.

I found that this woman didn't seem to be pretending. After seeing me, she showed a hint of curiosity, and then nodded to me politely and left.

I wondered if this woman was completely strange when she saw me?

Isn't this a bad thing?

I looked inside the stone wall again, my reflection, and pulled my face hard.

My appearance in that reflection was very real and didn't look like an illusion at all.

This made me unable to help but feel suspicious.

Am I just a shadow in the mirror, has I changed my appearance?

Or, my body has changed its appearance.

That's why Qin Xiaolian couldn't recognize me?

Although she and I had no love, we had a deep tangle and she couldn't recognize me.

Is this the result of the development of the curse?

Did I say that I have begun to disappear from this world?

Can you imagine that one day a person wakes up and finds himself becoming another person, and that kind of fear penetrates deep into the bones!

A great stream of confusion and fear caught me.

I couldn't help but take a few deep breaths and tried my best to calm myself down.

I was wondering if I had missed any important details, and maybe I could find some clues from my past memories.

But now, there seems to be no time for me to think about it.

Soon, I heard a voice coming from behind.

"You woke up, it seems that your body has recovered well!"

It was the voice of the woman Lieshanqiu, as cold as ever.

I turned my head and saw that she was still wearing a white robe from the temple, looking beautiful and charming.

"Why did I become like this?"

I pointed to the reflection in the stone wall.

Although I pretended to know nothing, now that my appearance has changed significantly, I can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so I just asked this woman directly!

After hearing what I said, Lieshanqiu's expressionless iceberg face, but rarely showed a touch of playful smile. She seemed to think this was an interesting thing: "Don't worry too much, this is just the first step in our plan. We will change your face when you are injured!"

"Have you changed your face?"

Her words made me completely stunned.

Can the face be changed?

I just felt a buzzing sound in my head, and it was difficult to laugh at and accept this fantasy reality.

Seeing that I seemed to be still dull and trying to accept the news, Lieshanqiu continued: "We have a last resort to doing this. You have to forgive us because you are a dead person. If you appear in the tribe again, you will inevitably need a brand new identity. This new face can bring you great convenience and even power."

Lieshanqiu's words made me smell the breath of conspiracy. It seemed that they did not change my face casually, but were very likely to give me a face from someone else.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that this face would bring me power.

What exactly did the old man and this woman want me to do?

"I know you can't accept this news for the time being. Your injury is just right. Why not come with me first and continue to recuperate for a few days before we talk about the next action."

As he said that, Lie Shanqiu signaled the maid to support me and began to walk through the corridor.

In this maze-like temple, we walked around for about ten minutes before I arrived in a new room.

"This is your new residence. You'd better not go around the temple. The maid Xiaolin will be responsible for your life. You can give her any instructions."

Lieshanqiu pointed to the woman in blue who was following me as soon as I woke up.

Then she turned and left.

I found that this woman was also a problematic thing. Along the way, she was making arrangements like this and that. I talked to her several times, but she arranged everything on her own as if she hadn't heard it.

That way, I seemed like a special prisoner.

This makes me feel bad.

However, now I have no way to resist her, so I have to pinch my nose and accept it temporarily.

After the woman left, I pushed open the stone door and entered my current room.

But I saw that the room was filled with various stone furniture and bone furnishings, and the whole room was covered with white.

As far as I know, white is a relatively noble color among savages.

At least the room she arranged for me was pretty good.

What I also care about is that I saw a brass-made mirror on the table!

I quickly picked it up and looked at my face.

What appeared in the mirror was no longer my former face.

Of course, if you have to observe slowly, you can also find many minor traces of the front face.

My chin was even more pointed, and I still had a tuft of goatee, and three narrow scars were added to my left face.

Some other subtle areas have also changed.

The muscles on the face may have been modified by toxins.

Many changes look very subtle, but countless minor changes combined have completely changed my face.

In fact, there are also so-called plastic surgery in the outside world.

But it still makes me incredible that these savages can do this.

I recalled carefully. During the period when I was sleeping in the medicine bowl, I often felt a burst of severe pain on my face.

They probably tampered with me at that time.

Maybe it was by those strange bugs, or maybe it was using other mysterious means.

I have no way to guess these.

But, I suddenly remembered something.

How long have I slept in that damn medicine bowl?
