Chapter 41: The Afflicted

Although the metal fortress is indestructible, it seems to contain a certain amount of toughness, although the huge impact force that appeared in that moment did not break through its defenses, it still caused its metal layer to appear exaggerated deformation, and the sunken pit looked like it was convex and extended outward inside the metal fortress, and it happened to be directly above Chen Xian's hands.

"Section Chief Chen, are you alright?!"

"Chen Xian!!"

"Chen Xian, you..... You okay? Are your hands alright? ”

Hearing the voice in his ears, Chen Xianben's still somewhat vague consciousness instantly condensed back, although his head was still a little spinning, but he was a lot more sober.

"Don't come here." Chen Xian said expressionlessly, although there were multiple bone wounds in his two arms, he still held on to the metal fortress, and constantly controlled the black light metal body to repair the area that was dented by the impact.

Under Chen Xian's control, the metal particles continued to regain their activity, and the sunken area contracted in reverse and began to return to its original appearance, a process that lasted about two seconds.

But Chen Xian didn't expect it.

At the moment when the protective layer of metal has just been restored, there is a bang!

There was another unstoppable impact from the top, and with this loud bang, the metal fortress sank down again......

"What the hell is ?!!?" Chen Xian's eyes continued to swell with blood, and his arms holding the metal layer began to tremble uncontrollably, and he wanted to take this opportunity to speed up and run out, but the impact of this instant attack made Chen Xian see the current situation clearly.

Something seemed to be eyeing them out there, and they didn't want to leave them alive at all.

"Old ..... Top dog...... It seems to be a hand ........"

Hearing Lu Yisheng's trembling voice, Chen Xian subconsciously glanced up, only to see that the deformation of the metal layer this time was more serious, and the outlines of those deep pits that were sunken down were also clearer, and they looked ...... Much like a giant fist print.

It was as if there was a giant staring at them outside, and whenever they wanted to run, the giant would wave his fist and tell them with absolute power that it was impossible to escape, and that they could only stay here.

"What to do??" Lu Yisheng looked up at the fist print, and his voice trembled, "This..... What a good thing that is! ”

"Even if we were to carry this thing together, we would be too slow to move." Xu Yanan was quite calm, but there was still a hint of panic in her eyes, perhaps this was the first time she had fallen into such a desperate situation, "If there is really something staring at us outside...... We didn't get a chance to run. ”

"Yes."

While speaking, Chen Xian had already let go of his hand, he gritted his teeth and kept rubbing the muscles of his arms to relax, every word he spoke seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, and his white face was also bulging with terrifying green tendons.

"Let's just run faster."

"Hurry up?" Xu Yanan was stunned, "Do you still have the strength?" ”

"Xiao Lu, take out the box in your bag, it's the ...... I gave you before I left," Chen Xian said.

Hearing this, Lu Yisheng first recalled for a second, and then hurriedly put down his backpack and found a notebook-sized metal box from it, which Chen Xian handed him for safekeeping before leaving, after all, only he was carrying the bag, and it was better to carry it in it than to carry it in his hand all the time.

As for what was in this box, Chen Xian didn't say, and Lu Yisheng didn't ask.

Taking the box from Lu Yisheng's hand, Chen Xian opened it without saying a word, and took out a utensil that he had never used before, the gift given to him by the Secret Bureau to express his sincerity.

The Afflicted.

"What is this?" Xu Yanan also came over curiously, looking at the mask in Chen Xian's hand, she was a little nervous, and she spoke carefully, "You don't plan to wear it on your face, do you?" ”

Before obtaining this anomalous artifact, Chen Xian had been wondering why this mask was called the Afflicted One, until he opened the safe that Chang Sansi used to place the mask...... Chen Xian got the answer.

This mask seems to be molded from a human face, with clear facial features and harmonious proportions, and the whole body is an extremely pure white, very soft to the touch, and seems to be very skin-friendly.

But that's just the surface of it.

The side where it touches the wearer on the inside doesn't look as comfortable.

The inside of the Sufferer's mask is covered with "needle awls", which are different from the main color, a color very similar to bronze, and should be made of some kind of ancient metal, the dense number of which makes people feel furious at a glance, and the terrifying shape only makes people think that this is some kind of torture instrument, not an anomalous instrument that can be used at will.

Chen Xian touched these needle cones with his hand, their surface was very smooth, and the tips of the needles at the top were also so sharp that they would accidentally cut their fingers if they touched it.

To be honest, Chen Xian was really curious.

Who within the Bureau of Secrets tried to wear this mask in the first place? Can these needle cones be pushed in the face? Won't be blocked by bones? Besides..... The inside of the mask is sealed with needle cones, and they are not afraid of being pierced in the eyeballs.

Chen Xian was silent from beginning to end.

After removing the mask from the box, he held the anomalous instrument in his hands and looked at it for a few seconds, as if in mental preparation.

"Don't." Lu Yisheng dragged Chen Xian for a moment, his face turned pale, "Boss, now you can't play with your life!" ”

"It's fine." Chen Xian said calmly.

Without waiting for everyone to persuade him, Chen Xian suddenly raised his hand and pressed this artifact, which was almost a torture instrument, on his face.

Those needle awls seemed to be the sharpest thing in the world, and after penetrating Chen Xian's skin tissue in an instant, they were inserted into Chen Xian's bones without hindrance, as casually as cutting tofu with a knife...... Of course, no matter how easily they penetrate, they would also bring Chen Xian an unforgettable pain, which was not the same as the pain caused by the black light parasite when it was parasitized.

The needle awl in the mask of the sufferer seemed to touch Chen Xian's soul, and the moment he put it on, Chen Xian only felt that every nerve in his body was thrown into the fire, and his soul was more like it was constantly torn apart by some kind of force, and the unbearable pain made Chen Xian can't help but snort in pain.

Chen Xian wanted to cry out in pain, just like he was parasitized by black light metal particles last time, but the current situation did not allow him to cry out in pain.

He knew what his role was on the team, and he knew everyone in the room was scared.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Chen Xianqiang held up a relaxed and calm tone, and tried to stand his body straight, only the slightly trembling fingertips could not be controlled...... He's done his best.

In the first two seconds, Chen Xian found that his visual ability had unexpectedly lost, but soon he found that his visual ability had returned to normal.

That's right.

Through the sealing layer of the mask, he could see everything in the outside world, even more clearly than before!

Chen Xian...... What's wrong with you......" Mu He looked at the blood that kept spilling under Chen Xian's mask, and the whole person was stunned, "You bleed...... Hurt?? ”

Hearing Mu He's words, Xu Yanan wanted to scold her if you were stupid!

That mask is not a good thing at first glance! Can you wear it on top of those needles without getting hurt?!

"Boss, your eyes ......"

"I can see things, it's okay, I can see ......" Chen Xianqiang endured the severe pain and said with a smile, "I can see it more clearly than before, it seems that this appliance is okay." ”

"What the hell is this?? Hurry up and take it off!! Xu Yanan was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to help Chen Xian take off the mask as he spoke.

But before she could touch Chen Xian, Chen Xian first stretched out his hand and gently held her arm, and then slowly put it down.

"This is an anomalous device that the headquarters rewards me for, which stimulates the production of adrenaline and dopamine in the body...... I'll tell you more about it, and you'll just think it's a stimulant. Chen Xian said with a smile.

The pain caused by the mask never disappeared, did not intensify or abate, like a living hell that constantly tormented the wearer...... At this time, Chen Xian completely understood the meaning of the name Sufferer.

However, there are losses and gains, and there will naturally be many returns as much as you pay, at least Chen Xian is now quite satisfied with the return that the mask has brought him.

This mask can indeed stimulate the activity of cells in the body, and the cells in the body that could be repaired extremely quickly were also stimulated at the moment, and the bones that were cracked by the previous impact were repaired almost instantly, and Chen Xian could clearly feel that there was some kind of power swimming in his body.

He only felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the fatigue of holding up the metal fortress for a long time was also swept away.

Without waiting for everyone to ask more, Chen Xian suddenly raised his hand to support the metal protective layer above his head.

"It's really much easier...... Chen Xian couldn't help laughing, and felt a little comforted in his heart.

At this time, he only felt that this metal fortress was much lighter than before, at least eighty percent of its weight had been reduced, which was a great joy for him!

"Xu Yanan, Xiao Lu, you bring Boss Wei and his family, I will speed up and take you out now, you must pay attention to keep up with my speed and don't fall behind, otherwise it will be troublesome......"

Chen Xian only cared about talking and didn't notice the abnormality behind him, if he looked back at this time, he would definitely find that-

Lu Yisheng, Xu Yanan, Wei Chenggong...... The three of them seemed to have seen some terrifying picture from Chen Xian.

At this moment, they were looking at Chen Xian with an extremely frightened look.

No.

To be exact.

It was looking at Chen Xian's gradually changing face.
