Chapter 67: The Innocent Mask
I sorted out what the misty believer had just exploded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The results were disappointing.
It's all some herbs, daggers, ordinary equipment and the like.
Not to mention Elise, even the jade wheel didn't burst.
"Lord Protector, is there anything else you need to tell us to do?" A soldier from Manyo Castle walked over and saluted.
I waved my hand, "It's all gone, there's no need to wrap around this place so tightly." β
"Yes!"
The Misty Believers have escaped our encirclement.
For a character capable of stealth, it is not difficult to hide.
This sneak attack was really a successful sneak attack for him.
Not only did I lose two levels in the ranks, but I also lost my most important partner.
I was a little upset for a while, so I simply went offline and returned to the long-lost soul space.
"Huh? You're back for the long night. β
Xie Yan was meditating in the Void, and when he saw that I was back in the Data Void, he got up to greet me.
I nodded, "I haven't seen you in a long time." β
"I don't usually come out often, and I'm worried that the scene will look awkward when I meet Molten Iron Ji." Xie Yan said lightly, "And I recently found that meditation is a very interesting thing. β
"You don't have to worry, because Elise she's ......," I said slowly, "and she's been taken away." β
When Xie Yan heard this, he frowned and said, "What's going on?" β
I told Xie Yan what happened during this period of time. This includes my spell practice and the subsequent escape of the Misty Believers.
After listening to my explanation, Xie Yan did not rush to express his opinion, but continued to sit and ponder for a while.
"First of all." Xie Yan finally spoke.
"Did you notice something missing from this space?"
What's missing? Why did he ask?
I scratched my head, "Even if you say that, I ......"
Wrong.
"You mean the Black Mist?" I suddenly realized something.
After I completely absorbed the black mist that day, its body was also sealed in a ball of light like Xie Yan, and then placed in this data space.
But now I don't see any orbs of light, that isβ
The body of the black fog, that face is now wandering around my data space?
"Exactly." Xie Yan showed a teachable look, nodded, and pointed behind me.
I turned my head and saw a face floating in the air.
A face that was a little different from the black mist I'd seen before.
It was supposed to be a lifeless, expressionless and emotionless face, but now it's actually smiling.
It floated silently in front of me, motionless.
I circled around it and realized that it was more of a mask than a face.
Why did such a mask become the body of the black mist?
I'd love to ask it, but unfortunately it doesn't speak or express its wishes. Just floating there smiling, like a lonely third-person observer of the world.
"Since you can appear in this world, that means this smiling face can too?" I turned to Xie Yan and asked.
Xie Yan shook his head, "I don't know very well, the condition for me to come to this world is that I must be attached to you, and so is Molten Iron Ji. β
"And if it's going to be able to come out like this, maybe it's going to take a little help from you to get it to this world."
I was a little puzzled, "A little help? β
"It's a lot like a mask, isn't it?" "Then, you might want to try wearing it." β
"Anyway, its soul is now yours, and it can neither resist you nor hurt you, so it won't be wrong to try."
After saying these words, Xie Yan closed his eyes again and entered a state of meditation.
"Mask...... ? β
I stared silently at the odd smile.
And it seemed to be staring at me, too.
β¦β¦
The Misty Believer suspects that he has encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
After he managed to escape from the cemetery, he kept trying to leave the Holy Lotus City.
But he found that no matter how he went, he was circling the sacred tree.
Sometimes the walls were so close to him, but he couldn't touch them.
At other times, the city gate was in front of him, but the road he was walking turned open.
But it's all understandable.
One of the things he really couldn't understand was that at one point he forcibly deviated from the path, using the Shadow Step to teleport to the guards guarding the city gate, and then walked straight out of the gate.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief that he had broken the curse, he looked up to find that there was still a giant tree in front of him.
When he tried to walk back to the city gate, he found that it had become a city wall behind him.
There's definitely something wrong behind this.
Misty believers never believed in gods and monsters.
He believes that even if it is heaven that does it, it must be human beings who make things happen.
Therefore, there must be some transcendent being preventing him from leaving the city.
If you want to break this curse, you must solve the problem at the source.
Like killing the people who prevented him from leaving the city.
But things are often easier said than done. The Miscellaneouss had no clue who was stopping them, let alone cutting them off.
For the first time after arriving at this game, the Misty Believers felt despair.
It is a kind of desperation that can break through the dimensional wall and directly affect the player himself.
But despite this, he still has an incredible smile on his face, as if something big is about to happen.
β¦β¦
When Elise's soul attaches to my body, I can fully harness the power of the Industrial Morning Star. Because she is the original owner of this weapon, as long as it has her power, it can do anything.
So, what if the mask representing the soul of the Black Mist was put on by me?
Will I be able to completely manipulate the nature of the black fog?
It's just a speculation, but I'm willing to put it into practice.
My mind moved, and I gave the same order to the mask as I had done with Elise.
A gray smiling face appeared on my hand.
Its expression didn't change, it just kept looking at me.
Taking a deep breath, I put my mask on.
For some reason, this mask was almost tailor-made for me, and it fit the contours of my face perfectly.
The mask settled on my face, and I opened my eyes, observing the new world through the eyes of the mask.
The world in the mask's eyes was almost the same color as itself, gray and gloomy like a gloomy sky with an impending thunderstorm.
The NPCs and players around me all looked like illusory humanoids from X-rays, and I was no exception.
Is this the perspective of the black fog to see things, it is gray, like the end of the world.
It's no wonder it has such a strong desire to destroy. Even if I were to observe the world from this perspective, I think it would be a mental barrier.
With a snap of my right hand, a black mist leaped out of my fingertip and lingered on my index finger.
Now I feel as if I have become one with the black mist. A strange sensation pervaded my whole body.
My single mind and thought can finely manipulate every wisp of black mist, and in my mind, they are thoughtful, conscious. And under my control, they can fulfill all my requirements on their own with a single command.
The NPCs are scattered by this time, a huge cemetery, but I am almost the only one.
Well, no, there's a guy slowly walking towards me. It's not far, it's not close.
Under the horizon of the black mist, people have no faces, only a phantom. So I couldn't make out what the man looked like.
So I took off my mask, and the colorful world returned, impacting every layer of my visual senses.
Strange, how can you take off the mask and no one will be there?
I looked around, but I didn't see the man who had just walked towards me.
Putting on the mask again, the man reappeared in my field of vision, and he was one step closer to me.
This time, I didn't take off my mask.
I finally understand what this vision can bring me.
I laughed gloomily, with a wisp of black mist in my laughter.
