More than 700 years ago, in the streets and alleys of Shicheng, a life-and-death escape initiated by monsters and humans unfolded.

When they saw an idiot stop running away as if he had given up on himself, and even took the initiative to attract the attention of the monster, some of the students in the group were ecstatic, and some of them had a sour nose.

But no one stopped.

Whether it was simply because they didn't want to die, or because they didn't want to live up to someone's wishes, they didn't stop running.

The lizard-like monster outran them, and the group's only hope was to run into some difficult terrain and hide—and then hope that the monster would find new prey.

When he was running wildly, someone had a hunch that they might soon hear Lin Rui's wail, or maybe they would ...... He didn't even have time to wail?

Just as they were thinking this, a strong sense of vibration came.

Cheng Shishi, who was running at the front, suddenly fell down without paying attention, she subconsciously turned around and saw an incredible scene.

The huge tremors continued to come, making the entire street feel as if it had suffered a slight earthquake, and everyone thought that a more powerful monster had appeared, and subconsciously looked back because of fear.

Then everyone's expressions were the same as Cheng Shishi's, frozen in astonishment.

The giant lizard, being grabbed by the tail by a strange man in a mask and black robe, grabbed it with brute force, and kept repeating the beating motion!

They didn't know the pain the lizard endured, but looking at the cracks in the ground as they collapsed, they understood how terrifying the masked monster's power really was—

The power that made the earth tremble was actually caused by a human being!

The Lizard Fall prepares to let out a high-pitched, piercing cry, a rare entry for sound waves.

But before the voice could be heard, the masked monster predicted the action, obviously a human hand, but like a disemboweling sharp axe, it easily broke through the defense, directly penetrated the lizard's throat covered by armor, and ripped off its vocal cords.

This bloody scene made the students frightened, but there was a strong joy of life!

They just felt that what was in front of them was too shocking.

"It's ...... Could this be ......" Fat Bo couldn't believe his eyes.

"How is it possible, the Mask Freak really exists? That stupid ...... Lin Rui, what he has always believed, turned out to be true? ”

"It's too strong, is this a hero! It's so strong, wow! Brother Shui raised his bat and expressed his excitement. It's as if he's forgotten that he's the one who mocks the masked freak the most on weekdays.

Watching the lizard being crushed and defeated, and the mask that everyone was familiar with, they finally believed that a miracle had happened!

Lin Rui burst into tears, and at this moment he excitedly wanted to hug Bai Wu's thigh to see if he had seen a hallucination because he was about to die.

Until the lizard's body emitted a bloody stench, until Bai Wu turned around, stretched out another clean hand, and pulled Lin Rui up.

He was finally convinced that the masked freak had really appeared!

"You...... Are you really ...... Is it really Mask Monster? ”

Lin Rui was trembling, looking even more frightened than seeing the evil fall, but he was not afraid, but he was so excited that he couldn't restrain his body.

"It's like a fake. Let's go over and talk to your friends. Now this city is very dangerous, and if you want to live, you have to learn to save yourself. ”

Lin Rui only felt that everything was so unreal.

This kind of luck is not for everyone.

The feeling of being saved by the things you believe in is probably like all the bitter memories like frost and snow, suddenly all turned into golden sunshine.

Bai Mist can understand the overflowing happiness in this child's heart.

In his previous life, he also liked to watch Ultraman, although every time he was abused by his father, he repeated the name of the monster in his mouth.

At that time, he also hoped that he could be saved.

He still remembers one time, because he couldn't bear the sadness of not being recognized by his father, he made a phone call.

It was the phone number of the Space Guard in the tokusatsu drama - an empty number that couldn't be reached at all.

This is really a strange thing, obviously at that time, under the teaching of his father's perversion, he was already better than many of his peers.

Obviously, he knew in his heart that some things didn't exist, but he still made a phone call. I can't say why, I don't know what I'm looking forward to.

This is also one of the few more childish behaviors when he was young.

Many later events also showed that no one would come to save themselves. Only by constantly fulfilling his father's requirements, enduring and even getting used to all kinds of pain and suffering.

Then look for an opportunity to stay away from that man.

There was no one to redeem him in childhood. The young man also had no one to redeem him.

But he can understand this feeling of being redeemed.

……

……

The next thing is that a group of people rushed over excitedly, everyone because they were saved, because they saw an incredible existence, and they had a lot of questions to ask.

For example, why the masked freak disappeared in previous years.

Bai Mist didn't know the reason, how did he know the reason why there was a weird guy who liked to wear a smiley mask who appeared for a while and disappeared for a while.

Deep down, he leaned toward the death of the masked freak.

But to this group of students who were not much younger than him, Bai Wu still told a white lie:

"In a distant place that you don't know, there are people who need me to protect more, I just went far away."

This lie easily deceived everyone, and Lin Rui was moved, because the hero never slacked off, but was just doing something similar elsewhere.

He was glad that he hadn't let go of that childishness.

The truth is actually cruel, but there is no need for the truth here...... What builds this world is just an obsession.

After answering many questions, White Mist knew that the world would soon dissipate.

History has not been rewritten, but at least in this phone booth world, he hopes that this ordinary teenager can live as much as possible.

They asked so many questions, but no one said thank you to Lin Rui. It seems that Lin Rui rushing up to block the monster is not worthy of respect.

Because the real masked freak appeared, and easily dismantled the crisis. So even with that fool's efforts, it became cheaper.

Thinking of this, Bai Wu patted Lin Rui's shoulder:

"Today's hero is not me, if it weren't for you standing in front of everyone and shouting loudly, maybe I wouldn't have rushed here. You are brave enough to remember your determination to die for your friends today. ”

"I'm just a symbol, I'm in this city, maybe people will have hope again, but what about after I'm gone? Perhaps it won't be long before they mock the faith in the hearts of others. After all, not every time, we can be saved by others. ”

White Mist took off his mask:

"The world is dying, there are still more twisted and evil monsters wreaking havoc in the cities, and there are still many weak humans waiting to be redeemed. It's a shame I can't follow you all the time, so you have to get better. Be calmer and more composed in the face of danger. ”

"Don't be afraid of evil and despair, but face it with courage and wisdom. It may be a long process, but when you can get used to it, you'll already be a hero. ”

The face behind the mask perfectly fits people's fantasies about heroes.

At this moment, Bai Mist's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, and he gently pressed the mask on the young man's forehead:

"I'll hand over this mask to you, and from today onwards, you have to take responsibility for protecting them, can you do it?"

The humble boy grew up at this moment, as if all the luck of his life had been exhausted, and he should have taken the mask handsomely, but he still couldn't help but nod his head and shed tears.

At the same time, Bai Wu found that the eyes of the people around him had also changed towards Lin Rui.

At this time, they realized that when everyone was thinking about their lives, it was Lin Rui who stood in front of them.

Once again, the things in the scene dissipate like puzzle pieces. This means that Lin Rui's obsession has dissipated.

White Mist didn't know if this teenager would be able to lead this group of people to live, after all, they didn't have the qualifications to go to the tower.

According to the objective laws of history, they will eventually die.

But at least from this moment on, in the parallel world of the phone booth, he has become the successor of the masked monster, regardless of strength or weakness, only determination.

When the consciousness is about to break away from this world and return to the phone booth, the eyes begin to play again:

Is there a necessary connection between me and the universe? Is there an end to the universe? Is there a length of time? Where does the past time disappear from? Where does the time of the future stop? Is the question I am asking at this moment the same question you just heard? Cause and effect are very interesting things, because we don't know if we have inadvertently changed the cause or changed the effect~ But it is certain that if we change the cause, the effect will also change. 】

It's another strange conclusion, but it doesn't matter, he's used to the style of his eyes.

White Mist's consciousness quickly returned to reality.

In reality, the phone booth became transparent little by little, gradually disappearing, and he once again solved a complete call, but what lingered in his ears was not the sound of phone calls around him.

It's Yin Shuang's whisper:

"White Mist...... How did the phone booth disappear? ”

"Awake? The game we are playing now is called Gold Medal Customer Service, and the person on the other end of the phone will ask us for help, or have some problems, as long as their needs can be solved, the phone booth will disappear. ”

Bai Wu was still carrying Yin Shuang, Yin Shuang's white and slender arms were wrapped around Bai Wu's neck, and her consciousness had not yet fully awakened. It's like the pain of memory, and there are some remnants.

Bai Wu didn't care, and prepared to go to the next phone booth.

"Tell me about what you encountered on the phone."

It was not Bai Wu who made this request, but Yin Shuang, who originally wanted to ask Yin Shuang what kind of phone call Yin Shuang answered.

But the lady came first, and while carrying Yin Shuang on his back, he used extremely concise language to talk about the things encountered in the two phone booths.

Yin Shuang listened to the story that Bai Wu had just experienced, and her eyes were complicated.

"Is that so...... Hopefully, in the world of phone booths, they will die well. ”

"Well, that's it, it's strange, why don't these phones ring all of a sudden."

After Bai Mist solved the first phone call, many phones rang together, which felt like accidentally giving a beggar a copper coin on the side of the road, and as a result, a large group of beggars swarmed in and demanded that he be okay.

But after solving the second call, Bai Wu found that all the phones around him were not ringing.

The eyes didn't give an answer, and he couldn't guess the reason for this kind of thing, so he and Yin Shuang began to walk forward.

Fortunately, he was also more curious, who Yin Shuang talked to on the phone, so he asked:

"The negative attributes in you have been removed, and now I have time for both of you."

"Thank you."

"Listen to you, what happened on the phone? It felt like I was badly injured. ”

"Actually, it's nothing...... Dreams, some of the feelings will be more real, and after waking up from a nightmare, there will be palpitations for a while. ”

Without waiting for Bai Wu to continue to ask questions, Yin Shuang said:

"White Mist, are you really amnesia?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Is it because of some painful experience when I was a child, because I don't want to recall it, so I lost my memory?"

"I'll tell you a joke."

"Jokes?"

"Well, do you know Meng Po soup?"

"What do people drink before they are reincarnated after death, and can they forget everything in their previous lives?"

"Yes, that's it. Meng Po had worked in the underworld for countless years, and one day she didn't want to do it anymore, so she told her boss Yama Luo that she wanted to resign. Yan Luo said, thank you for your hard work, you have worked for so long, drink a bowl of soup, and after drinking, go to the personnel office to go through the resignation procedures. As a result, after Meng Po drank the soup, she forgot that she was going to resign, so she kept circulating, living like a model worker for countless years. ”

"This ...... It's not funny, it's cold. ”

白fog says:

"It's hard for people to realize what they've forgotten, I'll do a magic trick for you to forget the five hundred tas you owe me."

"When did I owe you five hundred tas?"

"You see, the magic works, and you've forgotten it."

This time Yin Shuang smiled.

Bai Wu also laughed:

"I don't like to talk to people about my past, how can I talk about things that I don't have? I really don't remember what I was going through before. ”

This sentence is not an absolute lie, at least the memory of this body, Bai Mist does not have.

God knows how this nine-point beautiful shell got mixed up with the little beggar's sake, and was finally sold to the casino as a slave.

Yin Shuang thought back to the content of the phone and hesitated how to tell Bai Wu.

They still had plenty of time, and from a long distance, with the help of a powerful companion, he heard the sound of the phone.

Bai Wu was looking forward to where the next phone call would take him, and the first two calls seemed to indicate that this was a port city that was about to be completely abandoned.

And the port is the landing point of the Ark plan for countless people in the era before the tower.

Wen Hao and Lin Rui also match the timing point, but one is a child who boarded the ship and was abandoned by his parents, and the other is a student who did not have the opportunity to board the ship and followed a group of friends to wander around the city to search for survival resources.

Why exactly they became phone booths is still an unknown mystery. You'll have to answer more calls to find out:

"By the way, what exactly did you get? Say it and I'll help you analyze it, and maybe you can find the problem in this area as soon as possible. ”

尹沙 says:

"You let me down, I don't need to carry it."

Bai Wu put down Yin Shuang, he felt that Yin Shuang's attitude was weird, Yin Shuang looked at Bai Wu, and subconsciously thought of the words of the perverted middle-aged man-

White Mist, you are really a failed work. Is that the father of White Mist? If yes...... The white fog must have been very uncomfortable at that time, right? Perhaps this sentence hurt him more than those pinprick sticks.

She was afraid of evoking Bai Wu's bad memories, but after a few considerations, Yin Shuang felt that this phone call was very strange, no matter from all angles, she should tell Bai Wu and let him analyze the reason.

So after a few seconds of silence, she whispered:

"I got a call from you."
