Chapter 276 - 277: The Face on the Back of the Head
Su Nian sat back down. After a moment of thought, she made another request.
"Can you take off your hat? I want to see the back of your head."
The moment Su Nian said this, the people in the comment section couldn’t hold back anymore. Most were praising her for being incredibly brave.
After all, a normal person would feel sick to their stomach just from a single glance at such a disgusting scene, yet Su Nian wanted to take a closer look.
An indescribable look of joy erupted in the man’s eyes. He had seen so many doctors.
This was the first one who had ever asked to see the back of his head.
Many had been scared off right at the beginning. Only Su Nian had stuck with it until now.
And she was still so resolute. His tone was filled with surprise, even a hint of eagerness.
"Yes, yes, of course! I’ll take it off for you right now!"
The man spoke as he eagerly pulled off his hat.
Perhaps because he had waited so long for this moment, his movements were surprisingly practiced.
But the instant the hat came off, it triggered another round of screams from the fans.
[Holy crap, what is that? That’s so disgusting!]
[AHHHH! Help me, I need a pair of eyes that haven’t seen this!]
The man carefully turned around, seemingly intending to let Su Nian get a good look at the back of his head.
But this turn also gave Su Nian’s fans a clear view of the situation on the back of his head.
A strange face was growing there, and right now, its eyes were wide open.
The eyes were completely red, with no whites or pupils. But even though they were solid red...
...you could somehow feel that it was looking right at you through them.
The sight was so bizarre that it made the fans jump in fright.
After all, his other face—his real one—was normal. You could say that out of his entire body, only his face remained unchanged.
However, looking at the faint shapes of faces beginning to emerge on his neck, one could guess that in the near future...
...if he couldn’t find a cure, his own face would also become covered in these dense clusters of faces.
Su Nian looked closely. The face started from behind his ear.
It was as if it had grown there naturally, and more importantly, the face seemed to have a consciousness of its own.
Seeing Su Nian now, it even made a motion akin to tilting its head.
Through those blood-red eyes, Su Nian could sense that it seemed curious about its surroundings.
The situation was so strange that for a moment, Su Nian didn’t know what to say. But after a brief, careful thought...
...she took out a yellow piece of talisman paper and slowly began to paint it with vermillion.
This was the first time Su Nian had ever drawn on a piece of talisman paper with such intense concentration.
Meanwhile, a look of immense surprise shone in the man’s eyes.
He had originally thought this was all just for show, but as Su Nian drew on the talisman paper...
...he vaguely felt the strange things on his body begin to shrink back.
’Could it be that I’ve really met an expert who can cure me this time?’
His eyes filled with anticipation.
The netizens also began to express their astonishment.
[This streamer is really something else. She’s not just unafraid of this scene, she actually has a way to deal with it.]
[If this isn’t a Heavenly Venerate, then what is? She’s literally my god!]
[I have to say, Heavenly Venerable Bailian is the GOAT. She can do anything.]
[Oh my god, this guy is so lucky.]
[I can only say, if I were a doctor and saw those faces, I would’ve pissed my pants in fear. It’s just too freaky.]
[It’s not just freaky, it’s also disgusting. Genuinely disgusting.]
[Yeah, we feel this way just watching through a screen. I can’t imagine facing it in real life. I’d faint on the spot for real.]
"So? Master, do you have a way to fix this?"
The man’s tone was cautious and probing. He had been on the verge of despair, but now someone who seemed able to help him had suddenly appeared.
He was like a drowning man about to die, grasping at the last straw.
His voice was filled with joy, caution, and disbelief.
"I do, but we have to test it first."
Su Nian said, continuing to solemnly draw on the talisman paper.
As soon as the vermillion talisman paper was finished, Su Nian held it over a flame to burn.
As the smoke began to rise, everyone saw a plume of red smoke drift directly toward the man’s face.
The moment the smoke touched the man’s body, he let out a sudden, blood-curdling scream.
"Streamer! Streamer, something’s wrong! Can you stop?! My body hurts so much!"
The pain must have been unbearable, as the man’s expression twisted in agony.
Su Nian looked at his body and shook her head.
"It’s fine. Endure it."
The man stood there, gently enveloped by the smoke.
The smoke was only swirling lightly around his body, yet the man looked as if he was about to pass out from the pain.
He dropped to the ground, squatting there, unable to recover for a long while.
"Okay... Okay! AHHHHH!!!"
His voice trembled as he looked at Su Nian, his eyes pleading for help.
He even struggled to move closer, wanting to blow out the talisman against Su Nian’s wishes.
But strangely enough, though it was just a small piece of talisman paper, it had been burning in Su Nian’s hand for two or three minutes without going out.
A continuous stream of smoke drifted toward the man.
The blood-red smoke began to dissipate as soon as it made contact with the faces on the man’s skin.
But soon, the next wave of smoke would drift over, continuing in a ceaseless flow.
The man looked as if he was about to pass out from the pain. He stubbornly remained crouched on the ground.
He was unable to react for a long time.
The pain was about to shatter his will, yet the small piece of talisman paper was still burning.
It continued to produce a large amount of smoke, and it was clear to the naked eye that Su Nian’s smoke was truly effective.
Upon contact with the smoke, all of the faces suddenly opened their eyes in unison.
In that instant, every single face opened its eyes and stared at Su Nian.
But Su Nian only gave them a calm glance before deftly flipping the talisman paper over.
She continued to burn it, letting the blood-red smoke swirl toward his body.
This time, the faces on the man’s body let out a synchronized shriek.
The face on the back of his head, in particular, let out a blood-curdling scream.
The sound was utterly bizarre. The man was in extreme agony, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
[Damn, that made me shudder all over!]
[Streamer, you’re seriously amazing!]
[This guy doesn’t look like he’s acting. He’s shaking all over from the pain.]
[Why do I get the feeling these faces are like parasites, trying to resurrect themselves using his body?]
