Chapter 17: The Mask of Human Skin
"Really? Then why does your phone keep turning off? Wang Xinyi's eyes widened, obviously a little unconvinced.
Every time Lin Fei performs a task, his mobile phone is turned off, which Lin Fei also has a rhetoric.
"I'm in a hurry, so I forgot to bring it, maybe it's out of power!"
"Is that so?"
With a huge chest, Wang Xinyi stared at Lin Fei as she spoke, as if she wanted to say something, but she joked with a male teacher in the office: "Oh, our Teacher Xiao Wang cares about Teacher Xiao Lin enough, I didn't see Teacher Xiao Wang so anxious for five days last time I went on a business trip!" ”
In a word, Wang Xinyi's face suddenly turned red, but she lowered her head and picked up the lesson plan to go to class.
Lin Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, he is not a fool, Wang Xinrong means that a fool can also see it, but Lin Fei can't think about men and women at present, and he can only pretend to be confused.
At this time, Lin Fei's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up and looked at it, he found that it was a fat man.
In the private room of a restaurant, Lin Fei sat there drinking tea, while the fat man, Gu Xiaolin, and Luo Xin sat opposite.
In the real world, it is not the first time that Lin Fei and the fat man have met, but it is the first time with Gu Xiaolin and Luo Xin. Originally, it was best to meet in the room of the Demon Chapter World, but now that Lin Fei had stepped into the fourth floor, it was impossible to 'go downstairs', so they could only choose to meet in the real world in the future.
Lin Fei thought about it a lot, and felt that it didn't matter if the fat man knew his true identity. The fat guy must have guessed who he is, after all, his own place was arranged by this guy, if he didn't know it again, the fat man would not have been so popular in officialdom, and he would have been played to death.
As for Gu Xiaolin and Luo Xin, after a long period of contact, they can definitely be trusted.
That's why Lin Fei decided to meet the four of them and get to know each other officially by the way.
What's more, Lin Fei suddenly had a feeling. In the world of demon chapters, contractors can't trust each other at all, so they have to be on guard all the time, but sometimes, they also need friends, and if they don't have any at all, then this kind of life is really boring.
The fat man already knew Lin Fei's identity, so he wasn't too surprised. However, after Gu Xiaolin and Luo Xin found out, they were dumbfounded one by one.
"You...... You are ......" Gu Xiaolin, as a policeman, naturally knew about the case committed by Lin Fei, but now she will not come to arrest Lin Fei, not to mention, Lin Fei killed the Wang brothers, and he also eradicated the evil and eliminated the harm for the people.
"Teacher Lin!"
And Luo Xin was frightened, and almost stood up in shock, if he hadn't seen the fat man and Gu Xiaolin, he might have thought that he was in class.
"You're still a teacher?" Gu Xiaolin stared at Lin Fei very curiously, pinching her chin with her fingers and looking up and down, but she really couldn't imagine how this strongman who killed monsters was like chopping melons and vegetables.
"What's so surprising about this, the fat man is still a government official!" Lin Fei laughed.
"Fat uncle, then I will leave my future work to you!"
"Fatty, are you familiar with our director?"
This time, it should be a fat man in a cold sweat.
"Okay, no more nonsense, you know that I entered the fourth layer, don't you have anything you want to ask?" Lin Fei glanced at the three of them and asked in a deep voice.
The fat man and the others naturally had something to ask, and Lin Fei changed the topic at this moment, and the three of them began to ask nonsense. Because the questions were too messy and messy, Lin Fei didn't hear a few at all, so he could only stop the three people and tell him instead.
"I suggest that you go directly to the fourth layer after you reach level 9, because there are many of them on the fourth floor, so we may not necessarily be divided into one, and I am currently on the fourth layer of the L word. When entering the fourth layer, there will be a mission, which is a little more difficult than what we have encountered before, but there are more opportunities, and in addition, you must also watch out for those contractors of the fourth layer, they are more dangerous than monsters! Lin Fei slowly told what he knew.
For these three people, Lin Fei didn't hide anything.
"That's basically what it looks like, remember, try to improve your strength, I have a few ways to trigger hidden missions, you all remember it, go and try it. Also, if you get runes, be sure to put them away, that thing is very powerful. Also, I heard that Xiao Lin you got a star array? ”
Lin Fei also listened to what the fat man said, Gu Xiaolin triggered a task and obtained a golden quality barbarian long sword, and the long sword had a star array engraved by the barbarian ancestor. This undoubtedly brings great possibilities to this weapon, if a set of powerful runes is assembled, then with this weapon alone, Gu Xiaolin can meet the gods, kill the gods, meet the Buddhas, and slaughter the Buddhas.
At this moment, Lin Fei also told a few people about the knowledge of runes and star arrays that he had mastered, and asked them to pay attention to them during the mission. As for the hidden mission, Lin Fei told them about the incident of Emma, and told them that if they could, try to have a good relationship with the people in the mission world, because maybe they can get unexpected benefits from them.
The small party dispersed after a meal, and Lin Fei returned home and entered the demon chapter.
The room was still the same, but Lin Fei knew that the door was no longer the lower three floors it used to be. He made an appointment with the crossbowman and the white robe, and they met in the public square on the fourth floor at this time today. As the so-called three gangs of heroes, they obviously formed an alliance when they entered the fourth layer for the first time, and in addition, Lin Fei also wanted to see what the difference was between the fourth layer.
Holding the doorknob, with a slight pull, the door to the room was opened.
Lin Fei took a step, and in the next second, he was in a very huge square.
It's just that there are not many people around, only about 100 people, and it naturally looks sparse in this square that is about the same as a football field. And Lin Fei felt that something was wrong for a moment.
And Lin Fei's appearance attracted the attention of many people.
"Look, it's another guy with no 'logo', and he's wearing a helmet, and he looks like a newcomer!"
"Do you want to catch him?"
"This is in the brood, you are not afraid of death, go and move him now, and maybe this guy is not weak!"
"So what, the level of the newcomer is only level 9, how strong can it be? When the time comes, follow him into the mission, and it is not at the mercy of others. ”
Discussions like this are endless, and Lin Fei feels as if he is an animal in a zoo, being watched and judged by others. Moreover, almost all of the people who spoke seemed not afraid of being heard. Lin Fei noticed that these swaggering guys all had a button-sized metal sign on their chests, on which was written the word 'Lord' in gold.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone.
There are also many contractors with a vegetable face, wearing a collar, and following behind the contractors with metal plaques with the word 'Lord' hanging their heads.
Lin Fei finally knew at this time that something was wrong.
None of the contractors wore anything to cover their faces. Are they not afraid of being seen in the real world and recognized?
In the previous mission, except for Boss Song wearing a full helmet, the other two did not wear anything to cover their faces, Lin Fei felt strange at that time, and now it seems that it is really a puzzling place.
And at this time, a person approached Lin Fei quickly. Lin Fei immediately noticed it, turned around to look, but found that it was a man he had never seen before.
Lin Fei, who was still a little wary, was stunned after the other party said something.
"It's me!"
"Crossbowman?" Lin Fei recognized the other party's voice and had seen the other party's true appearance, but it was definitely not the appearance of the person in front of him.
"There's no time to chat, the current form is not very good, follow me first!"
"What are you going for?"
"Be a human skin mask!"
After the crossbow man finished speaking, he led Lin Fei through the square and walked in front of a person.
This person was extremely short and stocky, and there were many open boxes in front of him, which were full of tools that Lin Fei did not recognize. And after Lin Fei approached this person, he got a hint.
"Beautician Angie!"
"Dear friend, you only need to spend some 'time' to make a makeover, trust my technology, your time will not be wasted!"
When Anji saw Lin Fei, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
Seeing the crossbowman on the side nodded, Lin Fei also nodded.
Soon, a virtual panel appeared in Lin Fei's sight. There are dozens of faces with different looks on it, and in addition, there are thousands of shapes of facial features that can be combined and matched.
"You can generate a random appearance or customize it, but remember, each contractor can only have one human skin mask, and even if it is lost, it can only be made exactly the same as the last time, so be careful when you choose carefully!" Angie's timely reminder.
Lin Fei probably understood what was going on, no wonder there was no one covering their faces on the entire four floors, because they were all wearing human skin masks.
And the crossbow man also became a whole person because he wore a human skin mask. Moreover, it seems that this kind of 'beautician' is only available on the fourth floor.
So Lin Fei began to choose his 'new face' seriously, and the process took less than five minutes before Lin Fei confirmed it.
"It takes 12 hours to make a human skin mask, do you want to continue?"
The prompt appeared, Lin Fei still had a lot of time at the moment, and it took only 12 hours. So I chose to continue. The clock was reduced by 12 hours, and the beautician Angie began to quickly make a human skin mask.
In about ten minutes, the mask was handed over to Lin Fei.
This human skin mask is indeed a thin layer of human skin, with a soft texture, really like human skin. Looking closely, the face that Lin Fei had just chosen was sketched on it, lifelike.
"Obtain an item: Human Skin Mask."
"White quality, support items, can be equipped, provides 0 armor. function, you can change the face, durability 35. Durability is irreparable, reduced to 0, and it needs to be recrafted! ”
"Is it ready to be equipped?"
Lin Fei naturally chose to equip it immediately, and when he saw a flash of white light, the mask in Lin Fei's hand turned into a ball of light and burrowed into Lin Fei's helmet. For a moment, Lin Fei felt that there was an extra layer on his face, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"Now, you can take your helmet off!" The crossbow man said on the side, in fact, he also wanted to know what kind of face Lin Fei had chosen.
Lin Fei listened, but he stretched out his hand and took off the helmet.
Suddenly, a rather ordinary face appeared in front of the crossbow man. The crossbow man's face at the moment can be said to be very ordinary, much inferior to his previous appearance, but Lin Fei's new face is even more ordinary. In the past, Lin Fei could be described as handsome, but at this moment, he could only feel that he was ordinary and featureless, and he belonged to the kind that could never be found again if he was thrown into the crowd.
However, if you look closely, you will also find that the proportion of these facial features is also quite harmonious, and after looking at it for a long time, it can have a unique charm.
"I can't see it, you still have this kind of aesthetics, to be honest, are you a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts?" The crossbow man praised it heartily. Lin Fei's special skill that could turn into a crow and an angel had already surprised the crossbow man quite a bit, but now it surprised him again.
There is a mirror next to the beautician Anji's booth, Lin Fei nodded with satisfaction after taking a look, this face is simply natural, and it is impossible to see that it is fake at all. Then he seemed to think of something, and said, "What about the white robe?" ”
"By the way, I almost forgot, come with me! The white robe is there selling the items he picked up from those three contractors last time! The crossbowman said at this time.
The last time Song Boss and the three people died, it was the spoils that were packed up by the white-robed and crossbowed men. Lin Fei completely forgot about this stubble because of Minako's yes, and only reacted when he heard the crossbow man mention it at this moment.
Following the crossbow man, Lin Fei soon came to an area full of stalls, but as soon as he walked over, he saw a group of people around there.
"Little Niangpi, I see that you are not wearing a logo, you should be a newcomer from the lower three floors, right? How about it, go with my brother, I will ensure that you eat and drink spicy! ”
Far away, I saw a man in animal skin armor talking to a woman dressed in white. He also had a metal plaque with the word 'Lord' written on it on his chest, and behind him, three contractors with collars stood in them.
Even if the crossbow man didn't say anything, Lin Fei could recognize that the woman in white was in a white robe.
Because her characteristics are too obvious, one is that she likes to wear a white hooded cloak, and the other is that her figure is very tall, although her face is different, but Lin Fei can still recognize this. Of course, the murderous aura emitted by the crossbow man on the side also proved Lin Fei's guess.
"Why do some of the people here wear metal plates and some people wear metal collars?" Lin Fei asked the crossbow man at this time.
The latter said: "I also just knew, do you remember the three miscellaneous pieces in the mission?" They said that let us be their slaves, it turns out that the system practiced in this fourth layer is slavery, and those who wear metal plates with the word "master" are slave owners, and those who wear collars are slaves! ”
