Daomu Biji: Restart

Book 1: Chapter 147

In many cases, making human skin masks was similar to making wonton wrappers. Good human skin masks were very particular about the materials used, but I had learned some temporary techniques from the girl Xiao Hua used. Since the materials were so precious, they used flour and a special herbal fiber to practice making masks of each other during their training.

At first glance, a mask created with this kind of material made you look like a ghost, but with the help of makeup, a hairstyle change, and the cover of darkness, you could get away with it for a short time.

I quickly used my materials to make a mask of Sashas face, put makeup on the mask, and then stuffed heightening pads into my shoes. I grabbed the nail puller and then used an app on my phone to cut out all the useful words in the recording just now in case I needed to use them as backup.

Then, I left the room without hesitation, went up to the fourth floor, and passed through the corridor full of people. Whenever someone greeted me, I nodded. I went straight to Sasha's room and opened the door with the key I had taken from him.

I was relieved to find that there was no one else in his room. If someone had been in there, then all I could do was leave. I drew all the curtains, dimmed the lights, and locked the door as fast as I could before going into the room and starting to pry the nails up. After I got to the fourth board, I found that there was soundproof cotton behind the board. I tore it away and saw an even thicker quilt.

I slowly tore the quilt open and finally saw the secret passage behind. I listened carefully, but there was no one in the passage at this time.

I tore a big hole in the quilt and climbed through. I was standing on a very simple staircase made of wooden pegs. The whole passage was like a chimney. Some places had turns and some were horizontal, but the place where I had entered was upright.

There were no lights in the passage. Even though there were quilts firmly placed everywhere, Xiao Hua mustve been afraid of light leaking into other people's rooms. Since it was so dark, I relied on my hearing and found that no one was in the passage.

I climbed all the way down to the bottom and came out of the passage. I found a cave, which I figured had to be located right beneath the tulou. There was a very faint light here, so I could see that the cave was circular. It was also full of rescue, diving, and rock climbing equipment, but no one was there.

In the center of the cave, I saw a well surrounded by stones. When I walked over to it, I found that it was a hole just big enough for one person to fit through. This had to be the entrance to the calling spring. I listened carefully and could hear voices beneath the sounds of the spring. Someone appeared to be working below.

This was the legendary calling spring that was so small and hidden.

I looked around, feeling ecstatic. At this time, I didnt know why no one was in this area or why Xiao Hua had sealed the whole passage with quilts, but I ignored it and focused on sorting through all the equipment. I picked out a few hiding places and then called Fatty on my phone. I muted his side, plugged the phone into a portable charger, and then hid it in a piece of equipment.

After that, I climbed back out. At first, I forgot which room I came in from, but I finally found Sashas room after feeling around. I quickly put the board back to cover the hole.

Everything went so smoothly that I gave myself a thumbs up, feeling that my intelligence had really recovered. I looked at my watch. I wanted everyone to get ready to go as soon as possible. We would wait in Sasha's room until the people below changed shifts, and then sneak into the calling spring. When I went down, I would have master control.

I unlocked the door without any hesitation, but before I could leave, the woman who looked like A Ning instantly appeared. Before I could react, she entered the door and locked it behind her. She wrapped around me like a snake, pressed me up against the wall, and tried to kiss me.

I instinctively avoided it. I happened to be in the shadows, so she couldn't see me clearly, but I definitely saw her. She became angry and asked, "Why didnt you open the door?" I was just about to speak, but I immediately held back. I wanted to get my phone, but she would definitely notice since we were so close to each other. She suddenly took off her shirt and said to me, "Old Jiao is taking a nap. We have two hours. Havent you been holding back a lot?"

She suddenly leaned in again, but I grabbed her head and reflexively knocked it against the wall.

I didn't end up knocking her out. Maybe I held back because she was a woman. She touched her head and looked at me in horror, "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"

I pulled Sasha's cigarettes out and put one in my mouth before saying, "Get lost, I'm sick of you." With the cigarette in my mouth, my voice sounded muffled.

She looked at me and took two steps forward. I shrank back and she suddenly sneered, "Youve got guts. Just wait."

I made a screw you gesture and she stormed out. I counted to three and then immediately left and rushed back to my room on the third floor. When I rushed into the room, I saw that everyone was ready. Fatty raised a washbasin in his hand, which was full of smoking objects.

I was ready to wreak some havoc.
