Chapter 66: The Mask
"Is there still green?" Xiao Yi looked at the barren scenery outside the window and sighed.
"Yes, for example, on your manor, or where there are containments." 9425 tracts.
"Why?" Xiao Yi asked suspiciously.
"We don't know exactly why, we only know that most of the survivor camps are set up close to special containment facilities, or that the camp itself is a containment object." 9424 tracts.
"Then we are going to the camp today to detain the containment, is it to destroy the camp?" Xiao Yi said with a look in his eyes.
"No, the camp itself is a containment or a nearby containment that doesn't do much harm to the survivors, and the danger is generally very low, only plants grow near the shelter, and there are underground rivers passing by. The items we are going to contain today have already devoured many survivors, and we have received a report from the traveling merchant that it is a containment object that has suddenly appeared in the camp, and the danger level is high, and it must be dealt with, otherwise the camp will disappear. 9424 said.
When Xiao Yi heard this explanation, he understood the reason for the appearance of the survivor camp, so he said: "Whether the danger of the camp's containment will increase, I mean growth."
"Yes, it doesn't have to be, it can be as short as a year or as long as three years, the survivors have to change camps, otherwise you know the consequences, what does a dangerous containment represent." 9425 looked out the window at the flying yellow sand road.
The three of them fell into silence, and the time passed unconsciously, Xiao Yi was pondering, the shelter he owned was also a prop, and there were no words that could be upgraded in the system's explanation except for the pen.
"Explain to the system, what's going on?" Xiao Yi asked in his heart.
"Solution, the props that have been optimized by the system, or the props in the mall, except for the high potential, the rest of the items have no upgrade characteristics, and some props in the outside world have been affected by the atmosphere of the Cthulhu Mythos all the time, resulting in undirected mutations, so, it's not the upgrade you said, but a pathological mutation." System Channel.
A camp gradually appeared in front of him, and a few shadows could be faintly seen shaking in the camp around the sparsely scattered houses.
"Ahead is our goal for today, Camp Summerland." 9424 tracts.
"By the way, since you're a new investigator, the relevant documents haven't come down yet. However, some of the investigator's benefits can still be enjoyed, first of all, you can choose a containment object, and you can receive 1 white stone per day, which is the kind of thing that can briefly fight against the unknown whispers at night. After saying that, 9425 clicked a few times from the front of the box on one side, and three metal boxes appeared.
"System, why doesn't the identification page appear?" Xiao Yi asked in his heart. He had just tried to use the system to select a containment object, but now the system was not responding, so it was a matter of luck.
"Solution, this is a box derived from high-level containment, and with the current capabilities of the system, it cannot penetrate high-level containment." No sound came out of the system, but a line of text appeared in front of Xiao Yi's eyes.
"I'll go, other system appraisal is the basic ability, but the ability to come to you is insufficient......" Xiao Yi complained directly in his heart.
But when Xiao Yi's right hand swept over the middle box, there was a throbbing in his heart, whether it was excitement or fear, he didn't know, but at this moment, a strong uneasiness surged in his heart, as if to warn him not to choose this box.
Just when Xiao Yi was about to open his mouth to reject the box in the middle, his eyes were in a trance, his consciousness suddenly broke away from his body, and the sound of broken chains sounded in his mind.
"System, is it really okay to release the crazy personality in advance?" KP Impermanence said in a slightly uneasy tone.
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth rose slightly: "In the middle, he pointed to the box in the middle."
"Are you sure...... This containment object...... The danger is not low, although ......," 9424 said in a solemn tone.
"That's it, doesn't danger also represent opportunity? Besides, in this wasteland world, it's not dangerous. Xiao Yi said with a smile.
9425 felt that Xiao Yi's temperament changed instantly, at first he brought people a sense of restraint and stability, but now he is only crazy and dangerous, just like a madman, especially the weird smile on his face.
9424 clicked a few times on the middle box, and there was a flow of data, and the box slowly cracked, revealing the contents inside.
I saw that in the frozen glass box, there was a worn-out mask, the mask was full of cracks, the material seemed to be wooden, but the surface had an unknown metal texture.
The mask gave people an ordinary feeling, as if it was just a toy that was discarded at random, Xiao Yi bent down and looked down at the mask carefully.
Suddenly, through the black pupils of the mask, he saw that there seemed to be a pair of glasses looking at him, some animals, some humans, and some unknown species. The smile on the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth became bigger and bigger, and he reached into the refrigerator and slowly took out the mask.
"Stand back, keep a distance of 2 meters, and be ready to contain SCP2-218, Character Mask." 9424 took a few steps back in an instant, and pulled out the gun path on his waist. At the same time, 9425 took out a new metal box from a box, took out a pair of white gloves from a dark box, put them on his hands, and looked at Xiao Yi's situation with some trembling.
"It's okay, isn't it that you haven't put it on yet?" As he spoke, Xiao Yi put the mask on his face.
"Damn, I haven't explained the precautions to him, he actually put on a mask recklessly." 9425 said nervously.
The moment the mask touched his skin, Xiao Yi felt an inexplicable warmth, like the warm sun on a spring day.
Xiao Yi's own consciousness suddenly woke up in his mind, although he still couldn't control his body, he could feel what was happening in the outside world, and said a little nervously: "You...... You're the second personality, right, similar to the schizotypic personality of the criminal policeman Xiao Yi's character card, right? ”
"No, I'm you, you're me. You'd have died in the mod without me, and I've saved you twice. A somewhat frantic and somewhat morbid voice came to mind.
After the mask was put on completely, a scene appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, even the personality in his mind was seen.
"It was an ancient tribe that fell a meteor from the sky, and the tribesmen polished a black stone mask......
The picture changed instantly, the masked primitive tribal leader was fighting with a giant beast, blood stains were everywhere, and finally the tribal leader's eyes were bloody, and the giant beast was killed.
Then there was a firelight, a large bonfire, on which the masks were offered with blood, and below were people who were prostrate.
There was a sudden sound of fighting, which was on a battlefield, and a general in gold armor was constantly fighting with a mask......
The picture finally changed into an altar, several people in black robes who couldn't see their faces clearly kept saying something around the mask, one by one non-human species were sacrificed in front of the mask, the blood of various colors was mixed and absorbed by the mask, and suddenly a golden light flashed, and a short sword was inserted in the mask, and the runes on the short sword flashed, and in an instant the mask appeared cracks.
The mask then strangely vanished in place, falling from the sky in the wasteland. ”
"Now for the sanity point confrontation judgment: 99/99 Normal Success
Due to being in a state of madness, sanity is worth temporarily fixing, and the will confrontation is 90/92 Normal success
Successfully withstood the test of the mask, obtained the right to use the mask, and the first seal was opened. KP said in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"System, I need to know its properties now." Said the crazy personality.
"Data-based start-up...... Resisted by unknown factors, whether to consume 20 correction points and forcibly digitize. The voice of the system came.
Consumption
The mask suddenly trembled, as if it wanted to fall off Xiao Yi's face, only to see a hand forcibly holding down the mask, 9425 wondered: "Did it succeed...... Xiao Yi, do you hear me? ”
"It's okay, I'm feeling fine, it's just that this mask seems to dislike me a little bit and wants to leave, do you think I should put it down?" Xiao Yi's tone became a little crazy.
"Let it go...... Why put it, since it's your choice, it's yours. 9424 suddenly thought of something, and said relaxedly, and put the gun in his hand back on his waist.
