"Knock, knock, knock!" With a few knocks on the door, Bai Yujing glanced outside and saw an ordinary Neon youth dressed in a white coat. His attire and hairstyle all hinted at this style.
"Who is it?"
"It's me. Didn't you call me for help? I'm here!" The young man casually pushed the door open and walked in.
Bai Yujing immediately said, "You just came over so hastily? Shouldn't we arrange a secret meeting in a crowded market? By the way, do you have anyone following you?"
"Have you watched too many spy dramas?" The other person looked at Bai Yujing with a foolish expression.
The man didn't introduce himself; instead, he tossed a passport onto the table. A plane ticket was tucked inside the passport. "Here's a ticket for five o'clock tonight. Get ready!"
Bai Yujing picked up the passport and looked at the man, wondering if he had made a mistake. Did he really think he could leave by plane in his current situation? He would probably be recognized as soon as he stepped outside.
"Don't you think arranging for a boat to leave quietly on a dark and windy night is more reliable?" Bai Yujing suggested.
The ordinary youth yawned. "Neon has already implemented customs restrictions. All ships capable of long-distance travel must undergo multiple approvals to leave the port. Any potential disturbance will attract a lot of attention, so don't even think about it!"
The passport bore the words "Japan," along with its national emblem and the English word "Japan." Bai Yujing examined it; it belonged to a man named Hiroshi Harada, who was tall and in his thirties, sporting a small mustache and wearing glasses.
"This doesn't look like me at all!" Bai Yujing said.
"Of course, it requires some skill!" The man stood up and took out a plastic bag from his backpack. Bai Yujing was surprised to see an unexpected item inside: a human skin mask.
Bai Yujing suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Wow, is there really such a high-end thing! Can I ask what you do?"
"I mainly work on preparing models and lighting in the production team, and occasionally I do some special effects makeup. As for my name, you don't really need to know!" The man put on gloves with a calm expression, but his words carried an air of arrogance.
"I see, I see. So it's a secret, right?"
After putting on the gloves, the man took out the Mask from his bag. "This is called sculpting makeup, also known as modern disguise art. It's not something very advanced, but I stayed up all night to rush this for you. The process of making this Mask is quite complicated; you can only find someone with similar body features to try it out. Fortunately, I have experience; for an average person to make one of these would take at least ten days."
Bai Yujing felt like a layer of oil had been applied to his face, which was somewhat uncomfortable. Then the man brushed a few strokes and affixed the Mask to Bai Yujing's face. After completely securing the Mask, he made some adjustments to the details and finally asked Bai Yujing to close his eyes. It seemed he applied some material around the eyes, mouth, and edges—areas that are prone to revealing flaws—before finishing with foundation to refine the details.
When Bai Yujing opened his eyes, a mirror stood right in front of him. Looking at the person in the mirror, Bai Yujing was startled; he seemed to have aged over ten years in an instant. His eyebrows had become thinner, his eyes slightly smaller, there were some wrinkles on his forehead, and he sported a small mustache.
"Wow, this is really impressive!" Bai Yujing marveled. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into another person; it was almost unimaginable that even those familiar with him might not recognize him now!
Bai Yujing suddenly felt secure about this plan. He picked up the plane ticket from the table: Air China's flight at five o'clock in the evening from Narita International Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport.
"By the way, we're still missing one thing!" The man looked at Bai Yujing's appearance as if searching for any missing elements. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly retrieved a wig and placed it on Bai Yujing's head.
Bai Yujing stood up and looked left and right in the mirror, nodding in approval. "Thanks, brother!"
"Don't mention it. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Hu Team Leader instead. I wasn't planning to get involved in this matter; it was Hu Team Leader who personally requested me to do this for you. Remember that you owe him a favor!" The man began packing up his things and stated the facts to Bai Yujing.
The one who always supported Bai Yujing was none other than Hu Ying himself. This time he used his personal connections to help Bai Yujing out, so Bai Yujing indeed owed him a favor. He nodded and replied, "I will remember that; don't worry!"
"Leave, and remember not to miss your flight tonight. Also, make sure your face doesn't come into contact with water. If you want to take it off, just soak it in water for one or two minutes!" After saying this, the person left without any intention of staying. Bai Yujing had originally wanted to invite him for a cup of tea!
Bai Yujing took the subway to the airport, setting off right after lunch and arriving at four o'clock. Along the way, no one noticed anything unusual. However, upon entering the airport, Bai Yujing saw quite a few police officers and even spotted his own portrait posted at the entrance, which made him feel a bit nervous.
Since the peak period during National Day had already passed and it was now mid-October, there weren't many people in the airport. The crowd in the Departure Hall moved back and forth, but it lacked the chaotic atmosphere of a market.
Bai Yujing wore a hat and a beige wool coat, paired with fitted casual pants and leather shoes. His tall stature and a small mustache gave him the charm of a handsome uncle. While sitting in the Departure Hall playing on his phone, several young women from Neon pointed at him. Bai Yujing initially thought he had been recognized, which made him feel quite anxious.
"Passengers for flight ca6704 please..."
As it was time to board, Bai Yujing slung a small backpack over his shoulder, having checked in all other items. Just as he stood up, he heard someone shout from behind: "Hey, you there! Stop!"
Bai Yujing immediately stiffened and turned around to see a very familiar beautiful woman walking towards him, followed by two men in casual suits.
