The man stood up slowly and looked quietly at the motionless cat-headed doll on the ground. His eyes were calm and showed no emotion at all.
After a long time, he lightly flicked his fingers, and almost instantly, a dark black shadow climbed out from the ground, like a black flame without temperature, covering and devouring Wan's corpse, and soon disappeared with the corpse.
.
Wan ceased to exist, and disappeared from existence, as if it had never appeared before. Even the impression in everyone's mind has become a lot blurred, but it is difficult to detect the difference.
At the same time, Jian Wugui in the distance seemed to have come back to his senses, looking at the man who suddenly appeared with a solemn expression.
The people behind him had different expressions, and Lu Zhan was even more confused, staring at the masked man in a daze, as if he was a little confused.
This is a man in black wearing a mask.
The clothes seemed to be completely condensed from dark shadows, only pure black, like beating flames, between illusion and reality, making the masked man's entire body appear ethereal.
The mask on the face is completely pure white, forming a sharp contrast with the dark clothes. The deep black texture spreads on the mask, seeming to extend from the clothes, subtly changing at all times.
The man gave people a rather strange feeling. They seemed to have seen this guy somewhere before, but it was hard to remember.
It felt like I suddenly remembered a very important sentence at a certain moment, but even though the sentence was already on my lips, I couldn't remember what it was. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Only Lu Zhan knew clearly that the person in front of him was none other than Bai Mo, the tombkeeper who had disappeared for a while in Equality Paradise!
Seeing that he looks completely different from before. Both his expression and aura are completely different. He must have really woken up... and will not return to his original state.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan suddenly felt a little sad for some reason.
"Who are you? Where is that doll?"
At this moment, Jian Wugui, who was standing at the front, took the lead in asking questions. This man was extremely strange, and his aura seemed to be there. He could hardly detect the other person's true and false status, so he secretly became vigilant.
"He's dead."
The man's tone was unusually calm, as if he were a machine that could only speak, making the most basic statement about the incident without any emotion.
What makes people feel strange is that his voice seems to be changing all the time, making it difficult for people to remember his true timbre.
"Of course I know he's dead."
Having said this, Jian Wugui paused for a moment, first turned around and glanced at Ling Wei coldly, and then said in a low voice, "But where is his body?"
"Corpse? Of course he's dead too."
What does it mean that a corpse is dead? Can a corpse still be dead?
Jian Wugui frowned slightly, but before he could speak, the masked man opposite continued: "As for who I am... I have many names, you can call me 'Wu', I am a play friend."
"Doll's friend? Is Wan the name of this doll..."
Everyone was stunned at first, and then fell into thinking.
The masked man said calmly: "I have answered your question, so, can you answer me - how did you die?"
Everyone was speechless, not knowing whether to answer or how to answer.
In fact, the answer to this question is what they want to know.
To be precise, they had no idea why Ling Wei suddenly went crazy and fired at the doll. Although it was not explicitly stated, they and Wan were barely allies before. Ling Wei's move could be described as extremely stupid.
Xu Han had already snatched the weapon from Lin Wei's hand and controlled it. Seeing Jian Wugui looking at her, she nodded, increased her strength in her hand, and asked: "Do you know what you are doing?
"
"Of course I know."
Ling Wei's expression was quite calm, and he didn't look like he was being controlled or mentally disturbed. There seemed to be nothing unusual about him.
In other words, what he did just now was entirely his own decision.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he asked: "Do you still remember the purpose of our coming to Equality Paradise?"
Xu Han frowned and looked at him without saying anything.
He Shang became impatient, slapped this guy on the forehead, and said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it clearly. If you don't have a reasonable explanation for this, don't blame me for being harsh."
The panic in Ling Wei's eyes flashed away, and he quickly calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "What is Yan Luo doing? Is he trying to vent his anger on me for a forbidden creature? Our position has been very clear before, we are enemies
Bar."
He Shang sneered and said: "The enemy will come later. At least for now we have a cooperative relationship. If you kill him now, who will you let handle the hell passage? You!"
This is what makes him most angry.
He cursed and said, "And even if we are enemies, since the other party is upright, there is no need for us to be careful. Maybe we can get more information, but you actually carried out a sneak attack at a critical moment?"
The more he talked, the angrier he became. He felt it was extremely ridiculous, and he kept scolding the people in Dongyang City as weirdos.
Xu Han and Lu Zhan both looked ugly, not only because He Shang scolded them harshly, but also because they were also confused by Ling Wei's actions.
"I think it may be the first time to face such a forbidden creature, so everyone has overlooked one thing."
In the face of the scolding, Ling Wei looked indifferent and said slowly, "Forbidden creatures are forbidden creatures. They have a natural opposition to us, and they even take pleasure in killing humans! Have you forgotten that there were so many in the Equality Paradise before?
Are there any human corpses? That guy did it all!"
"As for the talk about hell, the existence of hell may be true, but the so-called crisis measures are all just talk! Who can guarantee whether he is actually plotting against us secretly?"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Ling Wei continued, "You must know that both the door and the hell passage originally existed in Ping Ping Paradise, and Wan is suspected to be the person in charge of Ping Ping Paradise, so the opening of the passage is absolutely inseparable from him! You are actually so
If you believe what he said, you are obviously bewitched!"
After a moment of silence, Jian Wugui asked: "In other words, are you sure that this doll must have evil intentions towards us?"
The seriousness in his words stunned Ling Wei for a moment.
You must know that the Director of the Parliament's Adjudication Department has always been the most active person on the front line of the restricted area. His attitude towards the creatures in the restricted area is very decisive. That is to kill to stop killing. People who are not our species will never tolerate it. I didn't expect that now he would
Ask such a question.
Ling Wei thought for a while and replied: "Even if he doesn't have any evil intentions, he definitely doesn't really want to help us."
"Yeah."
At this moment, Jian Wugui suddenly remembered what Wan Wan said when he was seriously injured and dying after being shot by Ling Wei.
After suffering such a fatal blow, instead of feeling pain and anger, the guy seemed a little excited and relieved.
It's like... it's like he's happy that humans have such powerful weapons.
Jian Wugui didn't know if this was his illusion, but he knew very well that what the guy in front of him said was not a reason to attack the doll.
The decision-making power on the spot has always been in his hands. Selling hastily against his orders is a wrong decision, let alone facing such a key figure.
At this moment, a terrible roar sounded in the Equality Paradise, as if it resounded in everyone's ears, which made everyone's expressions darken——
The sound came from the hell passage.
You must know that due to the efforts of playing, these roars temporarily disappeared, but now the sounds reappeared after the player died, which is enough to explain certain problems.
"Now there's a problem."
Jian Wugui looked at Ling Wei, who was becoming a little uneasy, and said with a cold voice, "So... do you have any way to prevent those things from coming?"
Ling Wei's expression changed, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we don't kill him now, we will meet him in the future, right?"
"Don't forget, we are here to prevent the expansion of the restricted area! Our mission is to find and destroy the black crystals in the restricted area, and the black crystals happen to be in Wan's body, so we can't escape from it.
The ending, isn’t it!”
"Of course we remember that."
Lu Zhan said, "But you seem to have forgotten that even the information you said was obtained from Wan's mouth. Why don't you think this information is a trap?"
None of the people present were stupid, they were all Qin Chu. Ling Wei's motive for killing the doll was not sufficient, just like why he suddenly came to Equality Paradise.
Ling Wei gritted his teeth and said: "In short, the life and death of that doll is not important at all. What is important is whether the restricted area continues to expand and whether it will threaten the safety of Dongyang City!"
There is a sense of justice and awe in his words.
While everyone was talking, no one realized that they all subconsciously ignored the masked man standing in the distance.
He is like a dispensable existence, real and illusory, and no one can notice it without making a sound.
And he indeed didn't speak. He just stood there quietly, listening to everyone's arguments, turning a deaf ear to the roars coming from the passage, and not paying attention to the traces of Heina hiding in the dark.
Suddenly, he spoke.
"I'm not interested in the reason for your dispute, but from your words, I have found the person who killed my friend."
The words were calm, and there was still no emotion, just a simple statement.
"what you up to?"
Hearing this, Jian Wugui felt awe-struck, roughly understood what the other party meant, and quickly stood in front of Ling Wei.
Ling Wei made a big mistake, but it was also an internal matter between them and could not be left to unrelated parties.
But then again...since this guy wearing a mask is a friend of the game, is he also a creature in the restricted area?
If you add in the sudden appearance of hell and the missing luminous black henna, Equality Paradise is clearly just a C-level restricted area. Why is it so lively?
The masked man did not answer, but said calmly: "The black crystal in your mouth should be very precious, right? Just in time, I took him out of the corpse he was playing with."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened his palm in front of everyone. In his hand was an irregular black cubic crystal, which looked ordinary and had no special aura.
Everyone looked at it intently, and then became a little confused. They didn't know what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
The masked man looked at Ling Wei: "Who can tell you the truth? I admire this gentleman's integrity. In order to prevent the expansion of the restricted area and for the better future of mankind, he actually killed the enemy at the risk of being questioned by you.
"
However, although he spoke words of praise, his emotionless eyes made Ling Wei feel extremely scared, as if he was being stared at by evil spirits from hell.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Jian Wugui frowned. He couldn't tell that this guy was being weird, so he asked directly.
"To show my approval, I decided to hand over this black crystal to you... But I have a small condition?"
"What conditions?"
"In order to show the greatness of this gentleman, I hope he can exchange himself for this black crystal."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned, not expecting the other party to actually make such a request.
Ling Weiwei was shocked, and quickly backed away and said, "Absolutely not, who knows whether this crystal is true or false, and who knows whether the so-called crystal information is true!"
At this time, he actually overturned the arguments he had made before.
Perhaps sensing everyone's embarrassment, the masked man continued to offer conditions: "In exchange, I can also help you deal with this black channel."
"If the black crystals are not dealt with, the restricted area will continue to expand, completely covering the outside land, and more and more monsters will appear. Believe me, as long as I want to hide, you will never find the existence of the crystals.
.”
"Are you threatening me?" Jian Wugui held the scabbard and said coldly, "What if I say no?"
Ling Wei behind him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, Jian Wugui had no intention of abandoning him.
At this moment, the masked man gave the answer.
"In my case, there is no 'no' option in your answer...the transaction is established." His voice showed ups and downs of emotions for the first time, and was unusually cold.
After the words fell, Jian Wugui suddenly felt his hand sink. He lowered his head and found that there was a black irregular crystal in his hand.
I didn't expect this thing to be so small and heavy...
Such an idea came to him subconsciously, and he quickly realized something was wrong and quickly retracted his thoughts.
But it's too late.
When he turned around, he saw that Ling Wei behind him had disappeared and appeared in front of the masked man. His whole body could not stop trembling.
Jian Wugui was shocked and quickly flew closer.
Xu Han was suddenly stunned for a moment. She looked down at her empty hands and found that the cannon she had just taken away from Ling Wei had disappeared and appeared in the hands of the masked man not far away.
"I still admire your greatness and your sacrifice of life for righteousness."
The masked man stared at Ling Wei, with a sarcastic compliment in his mouth, and without giving the other party a chance to speak, he coldly pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Following a loud noise, Jian Wugui stopped and looked forward subconsciously.
In front of the masked man, Ling Wei's upper body was blasted with a huge hole, and he was bleeding.
He knelt on the ground, with the fear of death still remaining on his face.
