Chapter Ninety-Five: The Fifth Man
I deliberately fiddled with the golden mask in front of the sick man, who immediately said, "Many years ago, the man surnamed Sun did give me the golden mask. Scar knows about it. At that time, the two of them took me to the cave together, and before giving me the golden mask, they said a lot of unclear things. ”
I interrupted, "What did they say?"
The sick seedling thought about it desperately for a while before he said: "Scar said: Can you do what you want?" The surnamed Sun said: If it doesn't work, you have to try, we have no way out. How many more days can we live? That thing can't be done, let alone becoming an immortal, it's hard to even want to die. Try it, live or die. ”
At this time, the sick seedling changed his words and said, "Later, they spoke in a low voice, and I didn't hear anything again. After that, the person surnamed Sun put a mask on me and asked me to pretend to be Jin Daxian. ”
"I later found out that the surnamed Sun and Scar still had a golden mask in their hands, so I pretended to listen to them, and I did whatever they told me to do, more obedient than a dog. ”
"They came to me with a gold mask at first, but then they saw that I was becoming more and more obedient, and they didn't even wear a mask at all. I finally found an opportunity to arrest them, trying to force them to hand over the remaining Golden Masks and tell them how they came from. ”
When the sick seedling said this, he unconsciously showed a blank look in his eyes: "No matter how I forced them at that time, they refused to say." I simply used the Golden Mask to try to keep them under control and make them tell the truth. Who knows, they all fainted at once. When they woke up, it was like they were all a different person. ”
I said in a deep voice, "What do you say?"
"What do you mean......" the sick man squeaked for a moment, "so to speak! ”
"Just like the things that the surname Sun told you, I dare say, more than eighty percent of them are made up, but he has always said them as if they were true, and the same is true when he told me. At the time, I wondered if their heads had been replaced. ”
I couldn't help but frown. According to the sick seedling, Old Man Sun and Scar should still have a memory in their consciousness, once they want to tell the secret of the golden mask, that memory will replace their original consciousness, so that even if someone peels them and cramps, they don't want to get the truth about the golden mask from their mouths.
But where did that memory come from?
Could it be that someone could force a memory into them? This is a little too strange.
I asked in a deep voice, "Why did you do it to Old Man Sun's grandson?"
"He came to me first!" said the sick man, gritting his teeth, "If he hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have killed him." After I put a spell on the boy, I knew that the man surnamed Sun was going to come to me. I've been hiding near you just to see what he wants to do. They tried to kill me, so I killed them all. ”
The cold in the eyes of the sick seedling overflowed: "After I killed them one by one, you entered the Pingtian Sea, and I followed up." ”
I frowned again, "Didn't you introduce us to Pingtianhai?"
The sick seedling shouted: "I don't even know what this place is, what are you doing here?"
I asked sharply, "You don't know where Ping Tianhai is, how do you know how to run to the second floor?"
"When I came in, I felt like I had to run this way, like someone was calling me home, and I had to come back. ”
When I didn't know what to ask for a while, the sick man stretched out his hand: "I have said everything you asked me to say, you can return the mask to me! Please, I can't live without a mask!"
"Then you don't need to live. "I stood up and fired four shots at the sick seed, who was staring at the golden mask in my hand until he died.
I stood up and fiddled with my mask and said, "Friends nearby, shouldn't you come out to meet?"
Lu Xinyao exclaimed in a low voice, "You said there was someone nearby?"
"Not only people, but also wearing gold masks. I said coldly, "Sick Yangzi pretended to be Ye Xun, and the two of them were judged before and after, especially after we were trapped, they were even more stupid than pigs." Do you believe that a person's personality can be so contrasting in an instant?"
I said in a deep voice: "The biggest flaw in False Leaf Xun is in speed. At first, we couldn't catch up with the fake Ye Xun, and then I couldn't catch up with me when I was holding a person, such an obvious contrast, it's hard not to see the flaws. That's why I wanted that friend to come out and meet him. ”
Soon after I finished speaking, there was a round of applause inside the cave, and a man in a golden silk robe and a golden mask walked out slowly: "Yes, it did not disappoint me. ”
The other party's golden mask is clearly a middle-aged man with a majestic face and slender eyes, and this is the only mask I have seen so far that does not have any other elements added, and looks more like a rubbing of a human face.
I couldn't see the other man's face, but I could tell from his size that I had never seen this person before.
He is supposed to be the fifth person to hold the Golden Mask.
Lu Xinyao raised his two guns the moment the other party appeared. I gently pressed Lu Xinyao's arm and said to the masked man, "Who is your friend?"
"Friend?" said the other man, clasping his hands behind his back, "I haven't heard that word in years." But it doesn't hurt you to call me 'friend.'" ”
The mask said: "You are looking for the person named Ye Xun, right? I can tell you bluntly that Ye Xun is in my hands." If you can get seven golden masks, you can ask me to exchange them for Ye Xun. I'm waiting for you at the Black Wind Pass. ”
"Wait a minute. I asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by having seven masks?"
Mask humane: "It's literal. There are seven Golden Masks, each with different functions. Takeo Takahashi's mask is an illusion, and the mask of the sick seedling is a control ...... Didn't you already guess that?"
The masked man knocked on his mask and said, "The mask is in my hand, and Ye Xun is also in my hand." If you want to bring back the real Ye Xun, it's best not to think about anything else. You're a smart man, so you don't need me to say anything, do you?"
Sure enough, the effect of some masks should be to replace or tamper with other people's memories, if the other party changes Ye Xun's memories and makes him treat me as an enemy, even if I find Ye back, I can't escape the tragedy of fratricide.
I looked at each other and said, "Where are Old Man Sun and Old Devil Ito?"
The masked man smiled: "How to find someone and how to grab the mask is your business, it has nothing to do with me, I only look at the results." ”
The masked man turned around and suddenly turned back, "I need to warn you that you better move faster, there are only two days left until the night of the blood moon." Before that, if you can't get the other two masks, Ye Xun will definitely die. ”
I stared at the other party's mask and clenched my hands behind my back into fists: "Before I rush to the Black Wind Pass, if Ye Xun makes any mistakes, I will let you die without a body." ”
"Hehe, you can do it!" the masked man strode backwards into the cave with his hands behind his back.
Lu Xinyao said in a low voice: "Do you want to follow?"
"It didn't work. I shook my head slightly and said, "If he dares to show up, he won't be afraid of us following." Now even if we snatch Ye Xun back, we will only snatch a body back, and there is no meaning. Exit first. ”
Lu Xinyao followed behind me and said, "What are your plans?"
"Follow the old devil Ito. They're still going down the trench, and we're going to run into them sooner or later. "I always have a feeling that the appearance of the fake leaf is to stop us from moving forward. At that time, there must have been some clues in the trench, but before we could find any clues, we were disrupted by the false leaf Xun.
Now that we rush over, maybe the original clues have long been lost, but we will definitely be able to keep up with the old Ito devil.
I could guess that the Ito family must have continued along the trench, but I didn't expect that the originally straight trench began to zig in a counterclockwise direction after about two or three kilometers past the Xiong Camp Camp, and the further forward it went, the more rounded the arc of the trench became, and finally it turned into a circular deep pit.
I pointed to the two guards standing on the edge of the trench: "One for each person, I ......"
"Don't move. Lu Xinyao waved his hand lightly, and silently lurked in the direction of the two people.
Those two guards are horns of each other, Lu Xinyao will definitely alarm the other party, she won't let me follow, in case it ......
When I was worried about finding out the box cannon to prevent accidents, Lu Xinyao suddenly appeared behind a person like a ghost, stretched out his hand to cover the other party's mouth and nose, and his hand quickly swept through the other party's throat.
Lu Xinyao's right hand knife was thrown into the air before it was completely withdrawn, and the bayonet more than a foot long flew several meters and suddenly pierced the throat of another guard. Before the other party's exclamation could be heard, it turned into blood foaming from the throat. Lu Xinyao seemed to have already figured out the location, and the guard who was stabbed to death by her flying knife actually stuck to the trunk next to him and slowly slid to the ground after taking two steps back, except for the sound of the knife piercing the other party's throat, there was no sound enough to alarm others.
I was stunned, but Lu Xinyao squatted in the grass and beckoned to me. I hurried to the other party's side, and Lu Xinyao had already felt all the bullets on the guard's body: "Why do I think something is wrong." The samurai of the Ito family are all mercenaries, and there should be at least two bright and two dark four people to guard the normal sentry post, how can they only leave two bright sentry posts?"
"Let's see. "Lu Xinyao and I lay on the ground together and slowly moved forward a few meters, only to find that there would be a huge sinkhole at the end of the trench.
