Chapter 359 - Chapter 359 Chapter 355 Thousand Faces Appears
Chapter 359: Chapter 355: Thousand Faces Appears? Chapter 359: Chapter 355: Thousand Faces Appears? Fang Xiaocao and two others lay on the sand dune, using binoculars to keep watch on Little Luban and Drilling Mouse.
Suddenly, the two individuals appeared in the binoculars, and they were quickly discovered by the camp.
About four or five men armed with rifles swarmed up and surrounded Little Luban and Drilling Mouse, pointing their rifles at them. Faced with the dark muzzles, the pair didn’t dare make any sudden movements and obediently rolled off the camel, submitting to their search.
After searching them, the men tied up Little Luban and Drilling Mouse and escorted them into the camp.
“Damn it!”
“Little Luban, they won’t be in danger, will they?”
Witnessing this scene, Fang Xiaocao exclaimed in alarm.
“Not for the time being!”
Taotie said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Taotie’s expression was somewhat grave.
Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.
“Taotie, what’s wrong?”
Fang Xiaocao asked, puzzled.
Seeing Taotie’s expression, Fang Xiaocao suddenly had a bad feeling.
“There won’t be any danger, will there?”
Fang Xiaocao felt a bit apprehensive.
“The people down there are from the Blacklist, and they’re not from New Province…”
Taotie paused mid-sentence.
“Then where are they from?”
Fang Xiaocao asked instinctively.
“If I’m not mistaken…”
“One of them looks like a guard of Thousand Faces!”
Taotie spoke in a heavy tone.
“What?”
Upon hearing the name “Thousand Faces” again, Fang Xiaocao blurted out an involuntary cry of shock.
Thousand Faces!
The very person Fang Xiaocao dreamed of killing.
Hot Noodles had sent a message once, saying that after that trip to the mountains, Thousand Faces had replaced one of her close friends and left with the group.
And in Fang Xiaocao’s reasoning, the person replaced by Thousand Faces was probably her good sister Zhi Qi!
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain the drastic change in Zhi Qi’s behavior before and after the event!
Now that Taotie had mentioned the name Thousand Faces, Fang Xiaocao was both shocked and furious.
“Taotie, are you sure?”
Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath, suppressing the rage and intent to kill swelling in her heart, and asked in a stern voice.
“Almost certainly!”
Taotie gazed fixatedly at the individual in question and replied.
Fang Xiaocao fell silent.
Her clenched fists signaled the turmoil within–extremely disturbed.
Inside her, a volcano of feelings continued to accumulate energy, ready to erupt at any moment.
“Taotie!”
Fang Xiaocao called out in a deep voice.
Taotie was taken aback and looked at Fang Xiaocao.
Seeing Fang Xiaocao’s grim face, Taotie showed a look of surprise.
Then he said in a serious tone, “At your service!”
“I want Thousand Faces dead!”
Fang Xiaocao uttered each word deliberately.
“He must die!”
Taotie bared his teeth in a fierce grin.
Clang–
Taotie drew the knife he was carrying on his back.
He held a knife in each hand, rubbing them against each other.
A grating sound of friction filled the air.
“Princess Your Highness, I’ll go and kill him!”
Taotie declared in a deep voice.
Before the sound of his words died away, Taotie’s entire body boiled with murderous intent; his eyes turned blood red, and his whole being’s aura transformed from human to that of a ferocious beast.
Fang Xiaocao’s will became the path for Taotie’s charge. If Fang Xiaocao wanted Thousand Faces dead, Taotie would take his life even at the cost of his own!
Seeing Taotie like this, Fang Xiaocao smiled.
Patting Taotie’s shoulder, Fang Xiaocao smiled and said, “With you here, I can be at ease. Thousand Faces will definitely not leave this desert alive, but before that, let’s not rush. We need to make sure whether Thousand Faces is actually down there or not!”
Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Taotie sheathed his twin blades, and his rising aura gradually subsided.
“Princess Your Highness, I’ll go down and grab that guy, and ask where Thousand Faces is.”
“Only their personal guards and the high-ranking members of the Blacklist know the whereabouts of Thousand Faces. I don’t have the clearance to find that out. If that guy doesn’t expose himself, even if he is right in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to tell,” Taotie said, showing a look of helplessness. In the Blacklist, no one was more mysterious than Thousand Faces, except for the boss of Blacklist himself.
Moreover, the only reason Thousand Faces was less mysterious than the boss was because the Blacklist’s internal rules required Thousand Faces to report every identity change to them. Otherwise, with the untraceable Face-changing Technique of Thousand Faces, who could be more mysterious!
Up to now in the Blacklist, except for the boss and the higher-ups, even someone of Taotie’s rank couldn’t confirm if Thousand Faces was a man or a woman.
Fang Xiaocao shook her head: “No need!”
“I have a way to find Thousand Faces!”
Fang Xiaocao stated confidently.
Which made Taotie look dumbfounded.
“Princess Your Highness, you have a way?”
Taotie was bewildered.
So many masterful disguise artists in Jianghu had attempted to unveil Thousand Faces’ disguise, all coming with enthusiasm and leaving in disappointment.
Had Princess Your Highness become so capable?
To actually be able to see through Thousand Faces’ disguise?
Taotie didn’t dare say it, but he felt that Princess Your Highness was bragging.
“Of course I have a way!”
“I received a message that during the operation when Gemini died, Thousand Faces disguised as one of my friends and left the mountain with us. If I just go down and check if my friend is in the camp, wouldn’t that confirm whether Thousand Faces is there or not?”
Fang Xiaocao revealed her plan.
“No way!”
Taotie immediately objected.
“This is too dangerous!”
“Thousand Faces knows me, my appearance would give us away; I can’t rest easy if you go there alone,” Taotie said somberly.
Taotie felt Fang Xiaocao was playing with fire.
Wasn’t this like walking into a lion’s den?
In the Blacklist, Capricorn was the most eager to kill Fang Xiaocao, followed by Thousand Faces.
Now that Capricorn was dead,
Thousand Faces became the first!
The reason for Thousand Faces to kill Fang Xiaocao was simple: revenge for Gemini.
Thousand Faces and Gemini were good friends.
It was said that Gemini had once saved Thousand Faces’ life.
Gemini was also the only person in the Blacklist who wasn’t a high-ranking member but could easily contact Thousand Faces.
“If I say it’s okay, then it’s okay!”
Fang Xiaocao said with determination.
“How can one capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair?”
“With you protecting me in the shadows, even if it’s a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, I can confidently make my way through!”
Fang Xiaocao reassured with a smile.
“Princess Your Highness, your trust in me makes me happy, but I’m not confident in myself,” Taotie said, not agreeing as he usually would but stubbornly as a dead pig not fearing scalding water, resolutely disagreeing with Fang Xiaocao taking a risk.
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
Fang Xiaocao didn’t know what to do with Taotie.
She couldn’t beat him; he wouldn’t listen to scoldings.
When Taotie becomes obstinate, he’s even more shameless than stealing a Kasaya.
Fang Xiaocao was at her wits’ end with him.
“I’ll go!”
“I’ll just say those Drilling Mouse guys are mine, I’m going to look for them.”
“If I can’t manage, then Liu Yishou will go. In any case, you can’t go!”
Taotie stated adamantly.
“You…”
Fang Xiaocao was truly at a loss!
It really is a headache when your subordinates are too strong.
“Alright then!”
“You go by yourself; Liu Yishou and I will wait here for your signal. Here are the photos of a few of my close friends; go down and see if any of them are there. If one is, then that person is very likely to be Thousand Faces.”
Unable to persuade Taotie, Fang Xiaocao had to compromise, taking out her phone and showing the photos of Zhi Qi, Su Wanqing, Yun Luoshu, and Wen Shi.
