Chapter 67: Innocent Mask

I sorted out what the Mist Trustee just broke out.

The results were disappointing.

They are all herbs, daggers, ordinary equipment and other items.

Not to mention Elise, even the jade wheel was not exposed.

"Duke of the Kingdom, is there anything else we need to tell us to do?" A soldier from Wanye City came over and saluted.

I waved my hand and said, "It's all gone, there's no need to surround this place so tightly."

"yes!"

The mist believer has escaped our encirclement.

For a character who can stealth, it is not difficult to hide.

This sneak attack was a really successful sneak attack for him.

Not only did I lose two levels, but I also lost my most important partner.

I was a little upset for a moment, so I simply went offline and returned to the long-lost soul space.

"Hmm? You're back in the long night."

Xie Lan was meditating in the void. Seeing that I returned to the data void, she stood up to greet me.

I nodded, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I don't usually come out often. I'm worried that the scene will be very awkward when I meet Molten Iron Ji." Xie Lan said lightly, "And it's very interesting that I've recently meditated."

"You don't have to worry, because Elise... "I said slowly, "I've been taken away."

When Xie Lan heard this, he frowned and said, "What's going on?"

I informed Xie Lan about the events of my life during this period, including my magic practice and the escape of the fog believer afterwards.

After hearing my story, Xie Lan did not rush to express his opinions, but continued to sit and ponder for a while.

"First." Xie Lan finally spoke.

"Did you see something missing in this space?"

What's missing? Why did he ask like that?

I scratched my head, "Even if you say that, I will..."

wrong.

"You mean Black Mist?" I suddenly realized something.

After I completely absorbed the black fog that day, its body was sealed in a light ball like Xie Lan, and then placed it in this data space.

But now I don't see any light ball, that is,

The body of the black fog, that face is now wandering in my data space?

"That's true." Xie Lan showed a sensible look, nodded, and pointed behind me.

I turned my head and saw a face floating in the air.

A face that is a little different from the black fog I saw before.

That should have been a face without vitality, expressions and emotions, but now it is actually smiling.

It floated quietly in front of me, motionless.

I circled it and now it was more like a mask than a face.

Why does such a mask become the body of black fog?

I really want to ask it, but unfortunately it doesn't speak or express its wishes. I just float there and keep a smile, like a third-level observer in a lonely world.

"Since you can appear in this world, that is, this smiling face can do it too?" I turned to Xie Lan and asked.

Xie Lan shook her head, "I'm not very clear. The condition for me to come to this world is to rely on you, so is the Molten Tie Ji."

"And if it is, there is probably no way to come out like this. Maybe it will take a little help from you to let it come to this world."

I was a little puzzled, "Little help?"

"It's very much like a mask, right?" Xie Lan said, "Then, you might try wearing it."

"Anyway, its soul is owned by you now. It cannot resist you or hurt you. You will never be wrong when you try it."

After saying these words, Xie Lan closed her eyes again and entered a state of meditation.

"Mask..."

I stared at this strange smile quietly.

And it seemed to be staring at me.

...

The mist believer suspected that he had encountered a ghost and hit a wall.

After he successfully escaped from the cemetery, he kept trying to leave the Holy Lotus City.

But he found that no matter how he walked, he was always circling around the sacred tree.

Sometimes the city wall is close to him, but he just can't touch it at all.

Sometimes, the city gate was right in front of him, but the road he was walking turned open.

But these are actually understandable.

One thing he really couldn't understand was that once he forced himself to deviate from the road, used the shadow step to teleport to the guard guarding the city gate, and then walked straight out of the gate.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief because he broke the curse, he looked up and saw a towering tree in front of him.

When he tried to walk back to the city gate, he showed that behind him had turned into a city wall.

There is definitely a problem behind this.

The mist believer never believes in gods and monsters.

He believed that even if it was the heaven that caused the trouble, it would be human beings who would succeed.

Therefore, there must be something extraordinary that prevents one from leaving the city.

If you want to break this curse, you must solve the problem from the source.

For example, killing the person who prevented him from leaving the city.

But things are often simple to say but too difficult to do. The fog believer has no idea about who is trying to stop him, let alone cut off the source.

After the Mist Believers came to this game, they felt despair for the first time.

It is a kind of despair that can break through the dimensional wall and directly affect the player's own despair.

But despite this, there was an incredible smile on his face, as if something was about to be accomplished.

...

When Elise's soul is attached to my body, I can fully utilize the power of Industrial Morning Star. Because she is the original owner of this weapon, as long as she has her power, it can do everything.

So, what if the mask representing the soul of the Black Mist is worn by me?

Can I completely manipulate the essence of black fog?

Although it's just a speculation, I'm willing to practice it.

My mind moved, just like the way I used to communicate with Elise, and I ordered the mask in the same way.

A gray smile appeared in my hand.

Its expression didn't change at all, just kept watching me.

Taking a deep breath, I put on the mask.

For some reason, this mask is almost tailor-made for me, perfectly fitting my facial contour.

The mask stabilized on my face, and I opened my eyes and observed the new world for it through the mask's eyes.

The world in the eyes of the mask is almost the same color as its own, as it is as dark as the gloomy sky with thunderstorms.

The NPCs and players around them all look like illusory human figures in X-rays, and I am no exception.

Is this the perspective of black fog looking at things? It’s dark, like the end of the world.

No wonder it has such a strong desire to destroy. Even if I keep observing the world from such a perspective, I will have psychological disorders.

I snapped my right hand and the black mist jumped out of my fingertips and lingered on my index finger.

Now I feel like I am combined with the black fog. A wonderful feeling fills my whole body.

My mind can finely control every black fog. In my mind, they are thoughtful and conscious. Under my control, with just one command, they can independently fulfill all my requirements.

The npcs have already left and left, but in such a huge cemetery, I am almost the only one.

Well, no, there is someone walking towards me slowly. The distance is not far or near.

In the sight of the black fog, people have no faces, only a phantom. So I can't recognize the person's appearance.

So I took off my mask and the colorful world returned again, impacting every layer of my visual senses.

Strange, why did you take off your mask and no one was left?

I looked around but didn't see the person who had just walked towards me.

Putting on the mask again, the man appeared in my sight again, and at this time his distance was one step further away from me.

This time, I didn't take off my mask.

I finally understand what benefits this vision can bring to me.
Chapter completed!
