In the secret room of a secret base in New York, four figures stood outside a pool of ink-black water, with a somewhat respectful expression.

On the other side of the pool, on the other side of the wall, a red mask was staring at them, and the mask faintly released an eerie dark power.

This red mask is the consciousness incarnation of a dark powerhouse called Tara, who is the leader of the Dark Shadow Corps and a mysterious powerhouse from the dark dimension.

The four people standing on the other side are the other four fingers of the Hand Association, called Alexander Dela, Botu, Suwanda, and Murakami, and they are called the five fingers of the Hand and Lady Gao, that is, the five leaders.

These five leaders are located in five different regions of the world and have developed their own Hand forces, and with the power of Tara, they have developed a good scale in their respective territories.

But in normal times, these five leaders of the Hand would not be in contact with each other, so Lady Gao had been dead for so long without being discovered by them.

But also, Mrs. Gao didn't even leave a corpse, and she couldn't even pass on the cold news, so it was really difficult to be found.

Coupled with the fact that these five leaders were already elusive, Madam Gao's disappearance did not make her subordinates suspect anything.

If it weren't for Tara's consciousness this time and discovering Lady Gao's tragic situation, I'm afraid that the rest of the Hand Craft would have delayed Lady Gao's death for a while.

At this time, Tara was showing his divine power to his followers, and in the inky black pool, the water was constantly surging, and a dark force was constantly emerging, and a figure slowly condensed from the pool.

When they saw this figure, a trace of frenzy flashed in the respectful eyes of Alexander Draa and the others, because they knew that this kind of power comparable to resurrection could resurrect them even when they encountered accidents, which was equivalent to giving them the power of eternal life!

"Buzz!" Soon, Mrs. Gao's figure completely condensed, and she slowly straightened up from the pool in a black dress, her eyes staring at Alexander Della and the others.

"Welcome back, Mrs. Gao." Alexander Della and the others nodded at Mrs. Gao and welcomed with a smile.

"Let the master bother, it's the incompetence of his subordinates!" Madame Gao nodded, turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Tara's mask, and said in a guilty voice.

"What happened? How did you die? There wasn't much ripple in Tara's voice, and she asked lightly.

"There is a mysterious powerhouse who stole the power of the Black Shadow Corps, I don't know if he has a mask or what's going on, I'm investigating, and I died in his hands." Mrs. Gao said with a hint of unwillingness in her voice.

"In that case, let's go ahead and investigate. This is my assignment to the five of you, and you must take back the remaining masks, wherever they are! Tara's eyes looked at Alexandra and the others, and she said in a deep voice.

"Will complete the master's task! Go to the soup and go to the fire. Don't hesitate! Alexander Drake and the others immediately knelt on the ground and replied respectfully in the same voice.

"Well, you guys go out first, I have something to say to Mrs. Gao......" Tara said lightly and closed her eyes, Alexander Drake and the others glanced at each other, and honestly got up and walked out of the secret room.

“……”

"It took me a lot of strength to make this body, but fortunately, I have a body that can walk on earth." Tara looked at Madame Gao's body and whispered, and then a wave of consciousness completely took over Madame Gao's body.

And Mrs. Gao never resisted, not because she really admired Tara to this extent, but because this body of Mrs. Gao itself was not conscious, and it was just a scene for Alexandra and the others to watch.

It wasn't that difficult to resurrect a body, but it wasn't that easy to restore consciousness and soul, and at least a tall lady wasn't worth the price Tara had to pay.

And the information that Mrs. Gao said just now was just the information reported by Mrs. Gao before she went to look for Johnny Stone and others.

"Not bad, if I can recover more masks, then I can make this body even stronger......" Tara or Mrs. Gao nodded, and walked out of the room satisfied, conveying her orders for herself.

Immediately, countless members of the Shadow Corps and the Hand Formation began to scatter, searching for traces of the masks all over the world.

And at the same time, in the midst of a city full of darkness.

On the outskirts of the city, in one of the darkest places, in the Arkham Asylum, to be exact, Clark once mentioned to Robert.

There is a man in a retro suit, with a gentle face, kind eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth are raised to give people a sense of intimacy, playing with a blue mask in his hand, and the most peculiar thing is that this blue mask can actually speak!

"Put me on! With me, you will have the power to control the Shadow Corps, and you will be able to leave this place and regain your freedom...... Woo! Just as the demon-like blue mask opened its mouth to lure the man, the man took out a cigar out of nowhere and stuffed it into the mask's mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's so fun here, and there are so many interesting patients, all of them are talented, and they speak well, I love it here! How could you just leave? The man said with a chuckle as he looked at the blue mask and turned the cigar in his hand.

"The only thing I regret is that the guy who has the same mental illness as me, likes to wear black clothes and imitates bats at night, didn't come here, otherwise it would have been more fun...... You say, do you have what it takes to get him here? ”

"I ...... Whining! Woooooo Yes! The blue mask could not say a complete sentence under the churning of the cigar, and the whole mask was trembling slightly, as if it wanted to break out of the man's hand.

"You're kind of funny, little one...... Well, then give it a try! The man looked at the blue mask in his hand and was still a little cute, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he took out the cigar, and then put the mask on his face.

"That's right! That's it! Put me on, and when you wear me, you'll be able to have great power! This is the power that belongs to my General Ika! The voice of the blue-masked General Ika echoed through the room.

"But unfortunately, your body will also belong to me! Because when you put on the mask, the evil in your heart will be completely released, your kindness and conscience will be blackened, and I will completely engulf your mind, destroy your humanity, and make you a ruthless, evil and terrifying devil! Well? What's the situation? It's scary...... No! What did you do? Hurry up and stop! Not ......"

"It's funny, it's really an interesting little fellow, but it's a pity that I don't seem to have kindness and conscience! Is this the dark power? What a rich and sweet power! How much has my strength increased? I can feel my body improve countless times compared to before! The corners of the man's mouth lifted slightly, and he continued to speak softly with a hint of sickness in the voice of General Ika.

"It turns out that the stronger the evil thoughts in the heart, the stronger the power after incarnating into a demonic body? Hee-hee, is my heart so evil? All of a sudden, I really wanted to see if he was so evil in his heart......"
