Chapter 5: The Cracker

"Not so long ago, there should have been people living here."

Mu Ziyi wiped the table, looked at the spotless fingers, and said, "At this point, everyone should be vigilant. ”

"I don't think it's an evil spirit, right?" Guo Wenxuan also seemed to notice this, "Evil spirits never clean. ”

"In fact, in this place, humans are just as terrible as evil spirits." Dong Xie pointed to their respective masks and said, "Gray is the lowest mask, and anyone with a high mask can easily order us. ”

Dong Xie's words made everyone's faces change.

"But ......," Gao Yiyu said timidly, "we don't have to follow this kind of rule, right?" ”

Mu Ziyi walked to the window, looked outside, and said, "I'm afraid...... It's not that simple. ”

After thinking about it, Dong Xie asked, "This morning, the shopkeeper forced us to help him move the goods, and we didn't immediately carry out his order at that time, did any of you feel any discomfort?" ”

"No ......"

"I don't feel like this......"

"We are also not driven by any coercive force," Dong Xie muttered after thinking for a while, "Is it just similar to the caste system, where people with low-class masks obey unconditionally?" ”

"Let me summarize my current opinion." Mu Ziyi and the others talked about it almost completely, turned their heads, looked at everyone, and said, "Judging from the current situation, I can basically deduce that no matter what the reason, everyone in this place always wears masks outside. Along the way, I didn't even see a single person who didn't wear a mask. Whether it is a child or an old man, there is no exception. ”

"Outdoor ......" Dong Xie admired Mu Ziyi's very rigorous view of the problem, and in this regard, it was somewhat similar to Xia Li, "You mean, indoor ......"

"When we went to Mrs. Smith's house earlier, she must have just taken off her mask, and when she put it on in a hurry, it was a little crooked, and then adjusted it a bit." Mu Ziyi stretched out a finger, "So, at least indoors, it should be possible to take off the mask." Of course, I don't think the word interior is accurate enough, to be exact, it should be in a private residence, you can take off the mask. In public places, like those shops, no one has ever taken off their masks. ”

Only in private residences can the mask be removed...... Outside, the mask is never removed......

"One more point." Mu Ziyi picked up the rental contract she had signed with Anna before: "In this place, there is no household registration system, and people don't even have identity certificates. Signing a rental contract doesn't even require something like a legal ID. This is really strange. ”

In fact, when they were preparing to rent a house before, they were also worried about the issue of identification. However, when they called and asked what they wanted to bring to sign the contract, Mrs. Smith replied that she didn't need to bring anything. Even, Anna does not ask the tenant for any information at all, including their name, age, occupation. When signing a contract, you only need to press your fingerprint, and you don't need to sign it.

At this time, Gao Yiyu said again: "I really don't understand, why do everyone wear masks? Just to distinguish classes? The caste system in India is practiced, and there is no need to wear a mask or anything like that to identify yourself. And wearing a mask all day long will cause a lot of damage to the skin, right? At the beginning of this year, after wearing a mask for a while, I already had a rash on my skin. ”

Mu Ziyi stretched out another finger, "This is another problem I noticed." The mask is not just a so-called proof of class, but also a point of ...... This place allows everyone to live by hiding their identities by default. People can wear masks and hide their identities, even if they are evil, as long as they are not caught red-handed, no one knows who is behind the mask. ”

This makes everyone have a strong sense of weirdness in their hearts.

All the people are wearing masks, and in this state, it will definitely have a huge impact on law and order. When you put on the mask, not only do you not see your appearance, but even your voice changes, and you can't tell your gender and age at all.

"The mask must have some kind of supernatural power." Dong Xie then said, "The Blood Word mission allows us to take off our masks, so I'm thinking that we must find a suitable time to take off our masks. I'm worried that if I wear a mask all the time, will there be some ...... too"

"You, you're afraid of wearing a mask?" Gao Yiyu was obviously the least timid, and his voice trembled with fright, "No, it won't be, right?" ”

For a moment, there was a dead silence in the room.

They know almost nothing about this place.

And in this room, there are no books, maps or anything like that. Therefore, there is no way to know all the specific information about this place.

Intelligence, in the Blood Word mission, can be said to be life.

During the day, they visited many places, but all the shops only sold food and daily necessities, and after looking for a long time, there was not even a single bookstore.

"So what do we ...... next?"

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the door on the first floor!

Several people's faces changed.

They quickly walked downstairs, and by this time, there was already a voice outside the door.

"Please, open the door, I, I don't want to die!"

Listening to the voice, it doesn't seem like an evil spirit.

But how could Dong Xie open the door easily. He walked to the door and asked, "Who are you?" Why are we opening the door for you? ”

"Please, the Black Corps are going to arrest me, and when I am caught, I will be sent outside the Black Wall! I don't want to go there, I don't! I'm going to die! ”

Then, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

"He's there!"

"Don't let him run!"

"Ah, damn it!"

Then I heard the footsteps of the man fleeing.

Then......

"Bang!"

A gunshot suddenly broke through the silence.

"Ahhhh Then, screams came from outside the door.

Not long after, there was another knock on this door.

"We are members of the Black Corps! Open the door! Open the door! ”

The other party has a gun!

Obviously, if you don't open the door at this time, the consequences will be self-evident.

Dong Xie had no choice but to open the door.

Either way, the other party doesn't look like an evil spirit. Since it is human, it can still communicate.

Outside the door, there were several gray-masked men dressed in black corpse uniforms.

At this time, a man with the same gray mask was dragged by several members of the Black Corpse Team and forcibly tied him up.

"Help...... Get me a doctor...... Help......"

He must have been the one who knocked on the door just now, and it seems that he was shot in the leg.

"What is the relationship between this Ripper and you?" The member of the Black Corpse Team said coldly: "It is a felony to harbor the Cracked Face, are you his relatives?" ”

"We don't know him!" Dong Xie hurriedly explained: "We are tenants who have just rented this house, and we have just moved in today. ”

"Renting?" The members of the Black Corps sneered: "This kind of house, there are people willing to rent it?" What about contracts? ”

Mu Ziyi immediately handed the contract to the members of the Black Corps.

"Give him morphine! I don't want to keep listening to him screaming here, it's noisy! ”

At this time, the person who was tied up was treated with a simple wound, and then someone pulled his sleeve and injected him with something.

After the injection, the man gradually calmed down, and he pleaded, "Please, I don't want to go outside the black wall!" I, I really can't help it, my sister and I were surrounded by a couple of red-masked people, and then, they were going to do that to my sister...... I can only ...... if I take off my mask."

Then, one of the Black Corps members punched the man's mask.

What made Dong Xie feel strange was that this punch was so powerful that he didn't knock the mask down.

"You can only take off your mask at your own residence. Unless consent is obtained, a person facing a high mask cannot take off the mask, even in his own home, and these are absolute laws. Taking off the mask without permission is such an end. Once your mask is torn, you can't escape anywhere, even if you change your mask. ”

"Big brother, please, please save me......" The man known as the Facebreaker hugged the black corpse member's thigh, "I, I don't want to die......"

"Your mask will crack completely in a few days." At this time, a member of the Black Corps on a horse said to him condescendingly: "When that time comes, will your fate be better than death?" ”
