"Masks, masks...... Kiriha, the mask is on your face!!"

Xiao Ling's words frightened the forest-colored young man into a slap, and he slapped him on the face, touching it up and down, "Where, where??"

"Ah, it's gone......" Xiao Ling couldn't help but rub her eyes, and what she saw was the panicked face of Tong Ye with a slap print, "It's so strange, I obviously saw you wearing that half-crying and half-laughing mask just now...... You should have seen it, right?"

She looked at Xiao Ye and Xiao Jie, trying to get a nod from her partner, but she was greeted by two increasingly dull faces.

"Xiao Ling, it's on your face!" Tong Ye stepped forward with a big stride and grabbed Xiao Ling's shoulder.

Xiaoling: "......"

Boom –

Half a minute later, everyone staggered up, Xiao Jie grinned and rubbed his head that he didn't know how many times he had been hit, "Xiao Ling, it's too exaggerated to directly release the impact of mental power......"

"Because it's terrible......" Xiaoling asked cautiously with a look of wanting to cry without tears, "Is it still there?"

"It's gone. Confirming that the strange mask had left anyone's face, Saya breathed a sigh of relief, and froze as soon as her gaze turned to the crowd, "...... It's over there. ”

The other three immediately turned their heads sharply, almost flashing their necks together.

Not far away, in front of a fast-food restaurant, two women in professional formal attire walked by, talking and laughing, and seemed to be walking on their way to work. The black-and-white crying and laughing mask was attached to the face of one of them, and it looked very weird.

Before they could consider whether or not to go over and give a reminder, the mask flashed, floated onto the other person's face for a few seconds, then blurred slightly, shook and began to look for the next target.

During this time, the two of them still talked and laughed as usual, as if they had never seen a hideous mask appear on each other's faces.

"Let's catch up and take a look. ”

As soon as the golden retriever boy beckoned, the four members of the expedition team immediately followed and rushed into the crowd.

The half-crying and half-laughing mask flickered in the air, stopping on the faces of passers-by for a few seconds from time to time, and no one except Xiao Ye and the others noticed the creepy anomaly. The mask traveled much faster than a person's footsteps, and disappeared after a short period of time.

The four of them reluctantly stopped in the crowd. Kiritha pursed her lips, "It seems that we are the only ones who can see the mask, and no one else reacts to it - but that's fine, so as not to cause panic." ”

"Well, what are we going to do next? We have to go to the subway again...... Well, let's go back to Pokémon Center first. Before she could finish speaking, she saw the wrinkled expressions of the other three companions, so she had to quickly change her words at a speed that was very similar to that of the guerrillas.

What they saw and heard at the subway station at half past six in the morning was indeed too terrifying, and they needed to be sorted out.

Since they went out too early, it was just after eight o'clock when they returned to the Pokémon Center, which was far from the time for their lunch break. In the past, the golden retriever brothers and sisters would immediately say, "Since there is still plenty of time, we might as well have a fight", but today is very quiet - anyone who has experienced a suspected full team annihilation and full resurrection can't get up their spirits, just want to go back to the room and fall asleep.

No, you can't sleep - if you dream about a masquerade monster again, I'm afraid you'll really have a psychological shadow.

Walking to the door of the Pokémon Center, the group unexpectedly saw Xiaotian just push the door out of the house. Everyone who had experienced a "vicious battle" was suddenly separated from each other, and only then did they realize that it was actually just the time to start their activities after breakfast.

"Iceberg boy, it's early. Xiao Jie greeted Xiao Tian with a smile, and his half-raised hand suddenly froze in the air.

Xiaotian is a person with a very regular schedule. Going to bed at ten and waking up at six is a habit he has maintained for many years, and he has long since needed an alarm clock to wake up. And when he woke up at the right time, as always, he and his father stared at the other three empty beds, staring at each other with eyes that were not too awake.

As early as Honglian City, Xiao Tian had a basic understanding of the living habits of several other people. Xiao Ye will get up on time in the early morning like him, although Xiao Jie and Xiao Ling's work and rest are very casual and not military families, but on the whole they are still within the scope of normal people, they will not sleep until ten o'clock in the morning, and they will not jump up at five o'clock in the morning.

The quilts on the other three beds, however, were neatly folded, and there was not the slightest residual heat on the sheets, and it was evident that they had left at least twenty minutes before.

I couldn't understand it, and Xiaotian didn't call immediately to ask. After breakfast, after saying goodbye to his father, who was out on business, he was about to go out to the field to replenish the Pokémon food, when he saw the other three people who left prematurely plus Kiritha who lived upstairs.

"Early. Xiao Tiandao, "Why do you ......?"

Why do you get up so early?

Before he could say this, he saw the rapidly changing expressions of the four people opposite. Xiao Tian was slightly stunned, and the blonde boy in his field of vision had already taken a few steps forward and grabbed his shoulders hard. A slight dull ache came from his shoulder, and he saw that those clear azure eyes were filled with angry fire.

"Bastard, what do you want to do!" the young man's voice was a little hoarse, "I warn you, if you dare to hurt him, I will never let you go!!"

Then, Xiao Jie saw that the mask that had shed blood and tears trembled slightly, detached from Xiao Tian's face, and suddenly rose into the sky, submerging into the distant buildings.

"Do you want to run away again? Xiao Jie almost muttered through gritted teeth.

Saya looked in the direction in which the mask had disappeared, and the spire of the castle that caught her eye suddenly reminded her, "The direction it is going in may be the library!"

The other three were stunned, and almost immediately made the same action - releasing their own flying Pokémon.

"Let's chase!"

The red dragon was the first to flap its wings, and the rest of the Pokémon followed suit, chasing the path of the mask's departure.

The direction they were chasing was not wrong, and when they flew over Champions Square, the sharp-eyed Xiaojie also saw the crying and laughing mask flashing in the air. However, then the mask disappeared again, and the expedition team was yelled at by Junsha before they could stare around the field.

Flights were forbidden in the skies over the Place of Champions and the Hall of Champions - they forgot about it in their own hurry.

Remembering that they were first-time offenders and had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes, before one of them could perform a pitiful wallowing roll, Junsha magnanimously decided not to seize their pilot's licenses first, and only verbally criticized them and sent the imps away.

The frightened imps who kept their pilot's licenses hurriedly bought a bottle of cold drink to suppress their shock, and then sneaked into the National Library of the Alliance under the Hall of Champions, trying to find the shadow of the crying and laughing mask in it. It's a pity that this time not only did they not see the mask on anyone's face, but they also didn't dig out a small card with a mask or anything like that from the book, and they still didn't gain anything from tossing until it was close to noon, Xiao Ling only felt that if the crying and laughing mask saw their futile actions all day today, maybe it would be difficult to turn into a laughing and crying mask.

"This masked bastard is so tormenting......" Xiao Jie sighed as he moved his already stiff shoulders.

"But at least now we have new information. Kiriba flipped through his notepad that he had already listed his priorities, "That mask will appear on people's faces from time to time, and we are the only ones who can see it." ”

Moreover, I always feel that the appearance of the mask is very similar to seducing us, what does it imply, and what is its purpose......

"No matter how you think about it, it thinks it's playing with us, otherwise why just let us see it?" Xiao Ling puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, "and...... Isn't it threatening us when you're in front of the Pokémon Center? ”

If they only saw the mask appear on Xiao Tian's face for a short time, they might not have shown obvious abnormalities. However, when the hideous half-crying and half-laughing mask trembled and shed bloody tears, Xiaojie, who was standing at the front, couldn't bear the fear and anger in his heart at all.

They have fully seen the strangeness of the masked monsters, and they have suffered enough. Those two dazzling blood tears were like saying "Your friend's life is in my hands" - if it were Xiao Ling's words, he might have been so angry that he punched Xiao Tian's nose.

"Anyway, let's have a combat meeting after the lunch break. In the expedition team, only Xiao Ye was calm, smiling at his friends as always, "We need to determine the direction of our next move." ”

If at first they started their investigation with half curiosity, now they have to go on after being chased to the shelves - otherwise the endless nightmares and the headaches that get worse every day will make them love God.

"That's right, let's first summarize the information we got today. Xiaojie scratched his hedgehog head, "So many things have happened all of a sudden, my head has become a mess." ”

"Brother, your head is usually a mess. ”

“…… I didn't say hairstyle!"

The familiar Pokémon center is magnified in the field of vision. The Golden Retriever siblings stopped discussing whether there was a chance to see the masked monster in their dreams and send it flying during their naps, and instead focused on the sumptuous lunch at the Pokémon Center.

"Ah, I'm so hungry - I think I'll be able to eat a day's worth of food today. ”

"After all, we had breakfast too early. ”

Xiaojie walked in front with a smile, and when his finger touched the door, a thought suddenly popped into his head.

Am I ...... Forgot something important?

And his movements were always faster than his thoughts, and before the electrical signals in his cranial nerves could run back and forth, his hand had already pushed the door open.

And then...... Not only Xiao Jie, but he stiffened in place with the three people behind him.

The silver-haired boy was leaning against the pillar by the door, his eyes down, and the cold air was oozing all over his body. Looking at the way he looks, he may have been standing here like a large ornament for a long time.

The boy raised his ice-blue eyes, and the chill in them caused Xiaojie to swallow back all the jokes he had tried to save the atmosphere.

"I need an explanation. ”
