The 'accidental' palm mask is larger than a regular palm, like an adult's palm covering a child's face, completely covering William's forehead, eyes, and nose, leaving only the mouth outside.

When this palm-structured mask is fully formed on William's face,

Even the black treemen who rule the settlement. Lord Karimus was in a thick cold sweat from his trunks, and instinctively leaned back, if it weren't for the deep roots of his legs and feet, he would have taken a few steps back.

"Why are there masks of such shapes? The masks of all the people who are contemplating the mask should be of the same shape, except that the strips that make up the mask are different.

Moreover, the abyssal strips formed by this guy can be so thin, thinner than the roots I condensed at the beginning, and the number is several times more, and there is an indescribable feeling, as if something is dominating this face.

There is only the limit of open source, why can it be done to such a point? ”

As Lord Karims continued to gaze at the youth, he even slowly saw some unrealistic images,

First, I saw a pale arm on the young man's shoulder,

I saw a smiling skull roll down on the young man's side,

Immediately after, more and more illusions of the dead stuck to the young man's back, and the final stacked scene was even taller than his giant tree's body.

But in a blink of an eye, these images are gone.

The young man at the foot of the tree, who had already completed the condensation, did not move, as if he was quietly feeling the process, and also seemed to be suppressing the killing intent and thoughts that had grown madly in his body, or was reconciling with 'himself'.

He sat for three days and three nights, during which time no one dared to approach.

On the fourth day, William, who was sitting cross-legged, finally made a move, moving his body and slowly forming a standing position.

Hold the back of your neck with one hand and rotate your head in a full circle...... The sound of click~click~ cervical spine echoing in the square area.

"Ah, really...... That's great! This is the essence of the abyssal condensation, through the virus's reproduction of the body's optimal genes, through the form of a mask to show the true and best side of the individual.

Seeing the abyss in such a state is enough to see sincerity.

You say yes, William. ”

"Yi Chen, is this what you're for? Influencing the condensation process in the form of memory implantation, so that my consciousness can attach to the mask and exist at the same time as me. ”

"Admittedly, that's one of my goals...... But, William, you also have to admit that this is definitely the most perfect and most suitable mask for us.

Only by coexisting can we bring out the fullest potential of this body.

Don't worry, I'm not a ghost before, and the most basic self-control can still be done. I will honestly assist you in completing the important things that come next, and complete the path you have been thinking about day and night. ”

"It was better to do so."

"Let's hurry up and start the next step~ See the so-called [Tour]."

The above exchange seems to be a conversation between the two,

In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, William is talking to himself,

This kind of self-formed dialogue also invisibly exudes a more specific social phobia, and no one dares to step forward at all, for fear of being accosted suddenly.

William, wearing the mask of the Abyss, took the initiative to walk towards the black tree man, who also slowly stabilized his torso, calmed down and asked as a gatekeeper:

"You've finished condensing the surface, and you're ready to start the tour according to the rules...... However, it is recommended that you take a day off in the settlement, and those who condense the face can enjoy the highest level of service in the settlement for one day for free. ”

"(Easy) Oh? Is there such a service, which is to provide me with some women with good faces and mutations in the lower body, preferably legs and feet.

If you have any trouble, please call me a few more, and then arrange a school scene, it is naturally best to be able to wear a school uniform!

We're here to get down to business, don't waste your time! After three days of resting enough, I hurried to embark on the road of pilgrimage and meet the abyss.

Oh, that's right! As long as we can establish contact with the abyss, or even fully control the abyss, we can play as we want when the time comes, and we can directly follow my XP to direct the lesions.

Well, then trouble Lord Karims to start the pilgrimage to the abyss. ”

The black tree looked at the mentally ill teenager in front of him, and he actually had a little fear, and social phobia actually grew in the veins of his trunk.

Faced with the request of the young man to embark on the road of pilgrimage, he did not say anything more.

Click~ As the bottom of the trunk slowly cracks, a road that stretches down to the bottom of the deep roots is revealed.

Just when Yi Chen's controlled body couldn't wait to step into it, William suddenly seized control with strong willpower and stopped at the root pass.

Looking up at the top of the tree,

"Lord Karims, there should be precautions or conditions for the pilgrimage, right?"

When William said this, the gatekeeper realized that he had forgotten to explain the relevant matters of the pilgrimage, which was one of his main responsibilities as a gatekeeper.

"Ahem! That's right, the pilgrimage is a necessary process to meet the abyss.

The so-called "pilgrimage path" is an absolutely dark path with no concept of direction, and only the condenser who is pious enough to walk in the right direction in a processional manner.

Even the slightest distraction will deviate from the direction and never reach the abyss.

As the journey progresses, the mask grows, and if the mask does not reach the edge of the abyss despite the mask completely enclosing the head, it is considered a failure of the pilgrimage.

By doing so, you will remain here forever and become a slave to the abyss. ”

"Is it religious, very broadly conditional...... Okay, I see. ”

"Good luck then."

Lord Karims's attitude was much better at the moment, and he even forgot the disrespect of the young man before.

William stretched out his hand to hold on to the opening of the tree root, not knowing if it was his own delusion, feeling that he could crush the lord's tree root with his bare hands in his condensing state, and even touch the lord who had completed the path head-on.

When William came up with this idea, Lord Karims was also cold in his crotch.

The lower part of the trunk was resolutely reinforced, and several spikes rose from the soil and hovered around.

"See you later, Lord...... Don't worry, I'm not going to lose control yet. ”

William reached out and gently patted the roots of the tree, and a leap fell into it.

Beneath the trunk was a slide woven from ancient roots, longer than William had imagined, and the only thing that was certain was that the abyssal was growing in concentration as it progressed, getting closer and closer to the tenth abyss.

During the ride, the two strands of consciousness exchanged again.

"William, I'll take care of the rest of the tour."

"Why?"

"Because I am more religious than you in this regard, I had certain beliefs during my lifetime, although these beliefs did not have much effect."

"Is there a memory I haven't inherited?"

"No, no, no~ it's just a matter of cultural influence, and the place where I live has related concepts such as pilgrimage and pilgrimage...... And William, you never seem to believe in these things, you only believe in yourself above all.

Leave it to me, I'm not going to joke with my future.

Look at me, I'm not just going to kill people, I'm also very good at these so-called 'pious' things. ”

"Okay."

William did not deny Yi Chen's words, it is true that he does not believe in any gods, he has only believed in himself all along.

At this moment, he took the initiative to relinquish control of his body, and Yi Chen completely controlled his body through the abyss mask.

Ten minutes passed, and finally slipped out of the root passage.

Unlike the black candle lighting between the settlements and getting a black and white picture, there is only endless darkness below, but it is nothing to Yi Chen, who is used to small black houses.

Without borrowing small grapes for lighting, any release of light is an act of impiety.

Yi Chen, who had always been crazy and irritable, quieted down in the darkness, stripped off all his clothes and left only the existence of a mask.

The chin is adducted, the tongue is intertwined, the chest and the back are contained, and the heart is humble.

Stand on your feet, kneel down, fold your palms, and arch your hands in front of you.

In the dark, a Taoist ritual learned during life is carried out in the dark with a very standard process - [three bows and nine knocks].

But

Yi Chen's performance is a personal enhancement version, and each knock will smash the door deep into the ground,

By the time the nine prostrations were completed, the entire facial bone had been shattered, and the palm of the hand used to cushion the forehead had been smashed into a bloody blur.

After completing the first round of prostration, Yi Chen slowly got up and stepped between the grooves formed by the prostration, and entered the second round of prostration.

This way of moving seems extremely slow, and it has only taken less than thirty meters to move in an hour.

But...... The abyssal aura below became more and more intense with Yi Chen's kowtow.
