“Sure enough, he still hasn’t gotten out.” In the Psychic Town, Lin Chu in this timeline sighed.

She had been wandering around the outskirts of the town for several days, but no matter how hard she looked, the edge of the town was shrouded in thick fog, leaving no space at all.

Lu Yanli seemed quite calm. Lin Chu had no idea what he was thinking. She had a feeling that Lu Yanli didn't want to go out at all.

Could it be that he feels it is safe here, and although there is no one here, there is nothing strange either, so he refuses to go out

But she wants to go out.

After not showing her body for such a long time, who knows what happened outside? Zhuang Ci and his friends didn't know that the faceless woman had died, and perhaps she was still wandering in an unknown time and space.

Moreover, she had a very strange feeling towards Lu Yanli. Although he had never shown any ferocity, Lin Chu still felt a vague sense of fear towards him. Sometimes he smiled at her and did nothing, but Lin Chu felt goose bumps all over her back.

This is not right.

During this period of time, Lin Chu had been wandering around the town alone under the pretext of looking for a way out. Her real purpose was to find out Lu Yanli's life trajectory over the past three years.

What happened in the past three years? Why did Lu Yanli change so much

Unknown to her, Lu Yanli was sitting in the basement, leisurely watching Lin Chu running around on the surveillance screen in front of him.

I hope she doesn't end up like Yu Huaiyao and see things she shouldn't see. Otherwise...

Lin Chu had already arrived at the power station in the town. Lu Yanli had told her before that the circuits of the entire town were broken, and he could only repair several generators by himself to generate electricity in a small area. Lin Chu didn't doubt it at first, and followed his instructions not to go out at night, and stayed in the room to rest.

A few nights passed, and nothing seemed to have happened in the outside world.

If it was really an electrical problem, she hoped to repair the power station and turn on all the lights at night. She wanted to know what dangers there were at night.

A few years passed, and the inside and outside of the building were covered with thick dust. Lin Chu covered his mouth and nose, walked through the courtyard and long corridor, and entered the dim building complex.

There is only a small river in this town and there is no way to generate electricity, so the power station in the town is not a hydroelectric power station. Lin Chu searched for a while and felt that it was more like a thermal power station.

In this case, if we find the fuel, maybe we can continue to generate electricity.

The induction light had been off for a long time. Lin Chu put on the mining lamp cap, turned it on, picked up the fire axe he had found from somewhere else, and slowly walked towards the main factory area.

Just like the outside world, it had a grey texture. Under the light from the mining lamp, dust was everywhere, some of it floating into her eyes. Lin Chu had to squint and step back until the dust dispersed a little before she stepped in.

It seems that no one has visited for a long time.

The mining lamp turned around in the spacious boiler room, and Lin Chu found something wrong.

Why do these devices seem to have been damaged? There are no signs of heavy impact or high temperature burning on them.

Who destroyed the power station? Was it the townspeople? Or was it Lu Yanli

Lin Chu slowly moved forward holding the axe.

Yes, it was all man-made damage, and all the equipment was unusable. It was so old that there was no clue at all.

She looked around, even checked the toilet, but still found nothing. She slowly backed out, planning to look somewhere else.

Before leaving the house, the mining lamp accidentally shone into a certain place, and Lin Chu immediately stopped.

There was a piece of paper pressed under the damaged machine in the room. Lin Chu shouldn't have cared about it, but the corner of the paper sticking out from under the machine looked brand new and white, and it didn't look like it had been stored for years. She paused, but still walked in.

In the monitoring room, Lu Yanli sat up straight.

What did Lin Chu discover

He didn't think he had revealed a flaw, because he would never leave any evidence. So, who left the things that Lin Chu saw

In order to create a completely uninhabited and non-eerie psychic town, Lu Yanli copied the future town with a jade pendant and did not hesitate to kill all the remaining population in the town.

He said he had been in the town for three years, and he had really lived there alone for three years. The flow of time inside and outside was different, so he just had to wait until Lin Chu entered.

Could it be that the original person left some clues here and he didn't find them

On the screen, Lin Chu gritted his teeth and lifted up a worn-out machine. He pulled out a piece of paper with his toes, loosened his grip, and the machine fell to the ground, splashing heavy dust that covered the camera he had installed.

He vaguely saw Lin Chu pick up a piece of paper through the dust, but he couldn't see clearly what it was.

Only Lin Chu knew.

The moment after seeing the above text clearly, Lin Chu was unable to suppress the turmoil in her heart. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and then quickly calmed down.

On the screen, Lin Chu looked at a piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball and threw it aside, as if she was just making a fuss by picking up a piece of waste paper.

Although it seemed that there was nothing wrong, Lu Yanli still felt something was wrong.

Is it really just a piece of waste paper

Lin Chu walked out calmly, with veins bulging on her hand holding the fire axe. She tried to remain natural under the surveillance so that Lu Yanli would not notice anything unusual.

calm.

No matter how terrifying Lu Yanli was, he was just a human being, and as long as he was a human being, he had weaknesses. Moreover, his weaknesses were completely marked on the paper.

The most important thing now is to escape from this town and then - stop the cultural festival.

She walked back from the power station with a very natural look on her face, and explored other places along the way. As always, she did not return until darkness fell.

As he stepped into the door, Lin Chu suddenly thought of a question.

Why did she suddenly think of going to the power station? This thought was just like a sudden thought that came to her after someone controlled her. And the person who controlled her thoughts, could it be...

"You're back?" Lu Yanli sat at the desk with his back to her, painting. There was some food on the table, just enough for one person, which seemed to be left for her.

Lin Chu didn't take the time to eat, but came behind the other person.

"Are you painting?"

Lu Yanli was coloring, and this time he didn't hide away like before, but let Lin Chu come to the desk to watch. He hummed in response, and Lin Chu tacitly agreed and picked up the painting to look at it.

It’s a strange painting.

In the picture, a tall girl is sitting on a mountain that is no higher than her waist. She is wearing a skirt and has her head tilted back, looking as if she is crying.

The reason why she used the word "look" was because at the back of her head, the human skin of a woman in red covered most of her head. The human skin had long arms and legs, and was wrapped around from front to back, and tied into a knot behind the tall girl's head, leaving only a small half-open mouth of the girl, who seemed to be screaming.

The skin of the person in red is semi-transparent, and you can vaguely see the distorted facial features of the girl underneath.

"What are you drawing?" Lin Chu immediately recognized that the girl with her face wrapped was the Faceless Girl.

Lu Yanli didn't even raise his head: "Dream."

"Dream? Have you ever had such a dream?" Lin Chu couldn't believe it. Seeing that Lu Yanli didn't seem to answer her at all, she hurriedly looked at the picture below.

The girl in the second photo seems to have shrunk a lot. On the contrary, the skin of the girl in red has become much thicker.

In the third photo, the human skin floated away, with a happy smile on his face. In contrast, the girl sitting at the bottom of the mountain had no facial features on her face, and she sat there blankly.

Lu Yanli was currently painting the last picture, a girl without facial features walking in the mountains, with two huge eyes staring at her from above. The girl was smiling, but it looked very uncomfortable.

Lin Chu turned the paper over, and his eyes were not smiling at all. Both corners of his eyes were raised, and his eyes were full of malice.

"Why did you draw such a picture? No, why did you have such a dream?" Lin Chu put the fire axe by the door before entering. At this moment, she stepped back quickly, holding the axe heavily in her hand.

"Lu Yanli, who are you?"

Lu Yanli sat there motionless.

"Good question. I also want to know who I am." He slowly stood up and walked upstairs under Lin Chu's vigilant gaze. Just as he was about to step into the corner of the stairs, Lin Chu heard the other party say something.

"Maybe I'm not a human?"

The world outside the town.

Lu Yanli, who went to look for Zhuang Ci, had no idea what had happened. He just wanted to find Zhuang Ci as soon as possible to verify his idea.

He and Zhuang Ci had been working together, but now they couldn't find each other. Even if they hacked into the radio station and played the city-wide broadcast, it was useless. Lu Yanli was determined and made another wish to the statue.

Even if it costs him a price, he doesn't care so much.

The price is nothing more than other people's lives.

On the other hand, Zhuang Ci strayed into a strange realm.

She walked on a road filled with light gray fog. There was no one around her. She had been walking for a long time, but still couldn't find the end. She didn't know where she was going or what she was doing, she just kept moving forward on this road.

She seemed to hear some sound, and when she raised her head again, the mist in front of her eyes seemed to dissipate a little, and she could vaguely see the black tunnel ahead.

Oh yeah… the tunnel!

He is here to find the Faceless Woman!

Zhuang Ci's chaotic mind suddenly became clear. She thought she was exhausted, but the moment she saw the tunnel, she regained her strength and ran.

The long dark tunnel was completely silent. Zhuang Ci walked forward silently, not knowing how much time had passed. When he opened his eyes again, the light was bright and everything was clear.

Zhuang Ci saw Lu Yanli, who was walking towards him. He seemed to be standing on the street of an unfamiliar city, with no one around him.

"Lu... Lu Yanli?" Zhuang Ci was still a little unbelievable. She forced herself to regain her consciousness. "Where is this? By the way, have you found any clues?"

"Found it. I think I can go back now."

Zhuang Ci felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense, so she didn't ask anything and obediently followed him forward.

"How do you get back? Have you found the way back?"
