Chapter 144: Masks and Masks
Chicken or egg?
There is no controversy in Building One.
It existed here before the Land of Light, and it stood on that land before the Demon Realm.
She had seen this on the title page of the album of Ben Sundial.
Two artifacts were sealed in this sea, namely the Mask of Vir and the Mask of the Soul Guide.
One day, a certain demon clan accidentally fell into this sea area and obtained these two artifacts, led the sea beast to occupy the first building, and began the long rule of the demon race over this sea area.
They built the castle on the first floor, and as more and more residents moved in, the castle was built higher and higher, and the masks and masks slowly advanced from the first floor to the current forty-eight floors.
Later, more and more things were taken from the demons, and the population became more and more dense, and the housing problem of Building 1 could not be solved, and the forty-eighth floor finally became a storage room for collectibles.
Day after day, the demons and sea beasts jointly guard the first building, and live a peaceful life here again and again.
This peace is shattered one day by a stubborn teenager who suddenly intrudes into it, and he threatens to challenge the myth of the bottom of the sea in the Land of Light. He rolled all the way up from the first floor, and he was invincible, and even the seven elders at that time were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.
With the glory of victory came, he immediately paid the price for his ignorance and impulsiveness, because there was no exit from Building One.
There was no one to solve his problems, he was facing the danger of being trapped in Building 1 forever, and he was so anxious that he turned over all the magic weapons and books in Building 1, and even locked on the 48th floor, but unfortunately he returned in vain.
This boy is Tingni.
Just when all the residents thought that Building One would change the system of the Seven Elders' management and become a situation where Tinny was the only one, the Elder who had been in charge of guarding and holding the Will's mask and the Soul Guide mask passed away.
Soon after Tingni arrived at Building 1, he found that there was an elder wearing a mask who would disappear for a while every day, and he followed the elder all the way to the gate of Building 1, and the elder suddenly disappeared here, but he couldn't find a trace.
With nothing to do, Tinny made a bold idea, which was immediately confirmed.
The two masks were returned to their places before the next bearer could be elected, and taking advantage of this gap, Tinny stole the two masks and left Building One.
"You're saying that Tinny ran through the gate under Gate 1 wearing a mask?"
The six elders looked at her like a monster, this Lila had already heard of it.
Only the person who holds the mask can go to the gate under the gate of Building One, and can leave Tower One to the world beyond the water, because he has an important vocation, and this legend is known only to those who wear masks.
"So, as long as you wait for the tide to rise, another gate appears under the city gate, and that is the exit?"
"No, it's the entrance to Building 2. Scorpion Brando corrected.
"Just Building Two?"
"Yes, find the owner of the whale fall there. Not to be outdone, Little Octopus Ishiju answered.
The elders nodded.
"The owner of the whale will tell me the way out?"
"No, you're going to take the entrance to Building 3 from his mouth. Salamander Seni shook her head.
Yue's face began to be gloomy.
"I've heard that Building 3 is a labyrinth. Harp Sponge Lila whispered.
"Wearing a mask is the right way. Hermit crab Hemi took Delilah's words.
"So, that is, take this mask?" Yue flashed out Will's mask.
"No, all you need is the Soul Channeler's face. Turtle Cellonia concluded.
It's good, everyone remembers it clearly.
"That's the way it is. "Jincangyu Changhou closed the case.
Boom!
- The sound of running out of patience.
She jumped in her chair in a fit of rage.
"Those strange settings, can't you just find someone to finish it in one breath?"
- That's all you care about?
The goat's face is black.
What she had in her hand was just a Vir mask.
"So what's the use of this thing?" she slapped the mask down the table, and the elders were startled, as if it hurt their faces.
"The existence of the Vel Mask can be said to be a substitute compensation for the holder. "Chang Hou said heavily.
"Compensation?"
Once the soul guide's mask is put on, it can never be freed, and it is the responsibility of his life. Although it can show the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the wearer, it is fake after all, and how can a simple depiction make up for the loneliness of losing face forever, as if to make up for the damage caused by this Will's mask.
She was stunned and slowly sat down from her chair, followed by a burst of laughter.
Oh my God, Tingni has been wearing a mask, it turns out that she is not playing cool, but she can't take it off after wearing it?
Hahaha......
Laugh......
"What's so funny about this!" The Seven Elders said in unison, "Do you know how much trouble Building One is facing without the mask?"
She waved her hand and laughed breathlessly: "I know, I know, the spirit can't be channeled." "Everything that could be plugged was stuffed, armor, utensils, and even the elders' rooms.
They stiffened and sat back in place.
"You know, how do you know again?"
"I can see them. "And the body can feel it, and the mouth can talk to them.
"So, you can communicate with them, and you know all about them. Lila asked.
She nodded.
Lila suddenly understood that what she had been talking about was the soul attached to the collection.
Above the forty floors, there are wandering souls everywhere, they are like a gentle breeze drifting around, and there is nowhere to go.
They were even more surprised.
"Do you have a way to get them out and back to bliss?" Chang Hou asked expectantly.
"Either way, it's a problem that needs to be solved. "The body has been dead for a long time, and the soul has returned, and they have a place where they have to go.
Is there a way?
It's just wonderful. If you enter Building 1 and become a resident of this building, you will never be able to leave, and it would be very pitiful to be trapped here after death.
The reason for this, they don't know, it may be because of the pressure of the deep sea, the curse of the gatestone, the force field around here, not to mention them, even the soul must not leave.
Masks are made for this.
"So your wish is to retrieve these two masks?"
"Yes. "Their attitude towards this is unanimous.
Then they sat in their seats, watching her take out a scroll of leather-like material and a quill from somewhere, and begin to write on it, with a strange atmosphere, and they even felt a chill down their backs.
Towards the end, she wiped it, and the contents of the reel were all gone.
"It's too late. She pushed the leather and groaned in annoyance.
What? What is too late?
"The mask must wait until the wearer dies to be freed, and he looks like he has a long time to live before Tinny dies. β
The lifespan of demons is very long.
"In that case, can you kill him?" the six elders said utterly.
Who could kill him? Why don't they try!
"Or let him come back to fulfill the wearer's obligations?"
The light bulbs above the elders' heads were all lit, and I had heard that many creatures of the deep sea had their own lumines, but was Delilah serious?
No matter how old you are, sometimes you will say something naΓ―ve.
"It's almost impossible to hold on here, because there are so many spirits that the castle can't hold it. Isn't it gradually closed to the public above the thirty-first floor?"
How did she know again?
"I guessed, looking at your expressions, it seems to have guessed correctly. β
"The souls of those demons whose grievances have not been eliminated, we all have a blockade. Changhou explained, "Things haven't gotten to the point where you think. β
Really? she snorted.
They stared at her suspiciously, and gradually developed a feeling of love and hatred for her.
This kid is more difficult than Thunder the Trickster, she knows so many things, how does she know?
"You should have noticed that the number of sea beasts that can successfully eat the demons under the gate monument is decreasing, and the resistance of the demons who are sent to the castle is getting stronger and stronger, even if the two are combined, they cannot be completely integrated. That's why Saini's half-man and half-woman appeared, and so did Yang, "The work of management is becoming more and more difficult." The position of an elder is a beautiful scenery, and it bears a vital responsibility in essence, but it cannot be relaxed at all. β
Yes, yes, they are exhausted by it.
Does it all have to do with the spirits squeezing here?
"If this continues, the defense of the One Building in the Land of Light will collapse. β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Brando glared at her fiercely, and as soon as the words came out, even he felt powerless.
"It's a lot more serious than I expected. She sighed, her head hurting, "Since this matter involves the spirit world, we can only find the little Yama king to solve it." β
"Why are you looking for Hades?" asked Brando, knowing it.
"Otherwise, where do you think the spirits have gone? She yelled uncontrollably.
Rubbing his temples, he stood up and walked to the door, only then turned around: "I'm going to go to sleep, and by the time I get up, you'd better have already written a letter of introduction." β
"A letter of introduction?"
"Yes. β
"To whom?"
"The owner of the whale fall. "Do you need to say it? She has to go to Building 2 and ask the owner of the whale to show her the way at once, so that she doesn't have to stay there again.
"How is that possible? We don't have the right to make him do anything. The elders panicked.
"You may not realize how serious the situation is. In short, I'm sleepy, so I'm out of company. β
"Actually......" Changhou paused, and stopped talking.
"We've been out of touch with him for a while. Celonia finished speaking for him.
She put her hand on the doorknob and stopped, turned around with a smile and asked, "Excuse me, how long is the burst?"
"Fifty years. β
"Seventy. β
"No, it's been almost two hundred years. β
......γ
They can't remember, the corners of her mouth twitching.
Do these old things have long memories, smooth and supple skin, and young faces just pretend to look good?
