Chapter 5 Face Cracker

"Someone should have lived here not long ago."

Mu Ziyi wiped the table, looked at her spotless fingers, and said, "Everyone should be more vigilant about this."

"I don't think it's an evil spirit?" Kuang Wenxuan seemed to have noticed this, "Evil spirits can't clean the house."

"In fact, in this place, humans are as scary as evil spirits." Dong Xie pointed to their respective masks and said: "Gray is the lowest mask. Anyone with a high-level mask can easily order us."

Dong Xie's words made everyone's expressions change.

"But..." Gao Yiyu said timidly: "We don't need to abide by such rules, right?"

Mu Ziyi walked to the window, looked outside, and said, "I'm afraid... it's not that simple."

Dong Xie thought for a while and asked: "This morning, the shop owner forced us to help him move goods. We did not immediately follow his order. Did any of you feel any discomfort?"

"No……"

"There is no such feeling..."

"We are not driven by any coercive force," Dong Xie thought for a while and murmured: "Is it just similar to the caste system, allowing people in lower class masks to obey unconditionally?"

"Let me summarize my current views." Mu Ziyi waited for everyone to finish talking. She turned around, looked at everyone, and said: "From the current situation, I can basically infer that no matter what the reason is,

For the same reason, everyone in this place wears a mask when outdoors. Along the way, I have never seen even one person without a mask. No matter they are children or old people, there is no exception.

"

"Outdoors..." Dong Xie admired his mother Ziyi's rigorous approach to problems. In this regard, she was somewhat similar to Xia Li, "You mean, indoors..."

"When we entered Mrs. Smith's house before, her mask must have just been taken off, and after she put it on in a hurry, it was a little crooked. Then she adjusted it." Mu Ziyi held out a finger, "So

, at least indoors, you should be able to take off your mask. Of course, I don’t think the word indoor is accurate enough. To be precise, it should be in private residences, you can take off your mask. In public places, like those shops

Inside, no one ever took off their mask.”

Masks can only be taken off in private residences...but outdoors, masks must not be taken off...

"One more thing." Mu Ziyi picked up the rental contract she had signed with Anna: "In this place, there is no household registration system, and people don't even have identity certificates. You don't even need a legal ID card to sign a rental contract.

Something like that. This is really strange.”

In fact, when they were preparing to rent a house, they were worried about the issue of identification. However, when they called to ask what they needed to bring to sign the contract, Mrs. Smith’s answer was that they didn’t need to bring anything. Even Anna

The tenants are not asked for any information at all, including their names, ages, and occupations. When signing the contract, only fingerprints are required, no signature is required.

At this time, Gao Yiyu said again: "I really don't understand why everyone has to wear a mask? Just to distinguish between classes? The caste system in India does not require wearing masks to mark oneself.

Identity. And wearing a mask all day long will cause great damage to the skin, right? At the beginning of this year, I just wore the mask for a while, and my skin already broke out in a rash."

Mu Ziyi stretched out another finger, "This is another problem I noticed. The mask is not only the so-called proof of class, but also... this place allows everyone to hide their identity by default.

Life. People can wear masks and hide their identities. Even if they do evil, as long as they are not caught red-handed, no one will know who is behind the mask."

This makes everyone feel a strong sense of weirdness.

Everyone wears masks. In this state, it will definitely have a huge impact on public security. After wearing a mask, not only can the face be invisible, but even the voice will change, making it impossible to distinguish gender and age.

"The mask must have some kind of supernatural power." Dong Xie continued: "The Scarlet Mission allows us to take off the mask, so I am thinking that we must find a suitable time to take off the mask. I am worried that if we keep wearing the mask,

Will something happen..."

"You, are you afraid of wearing a mask?" Gao Yiyu was obviously the timidest, and his voice trembled with fear, "No, it won't happen, right?"

For a moment, the room fell into dead silence.

They know almost nothing about this place.

And no books, maps or anything like that were found in this house. Therefore, there is no way to know any specific information about this place.

Intelligence, in the Scarlet Mission, can be said to be life.

During the day, they visited many places, but all the stores only sold food and daily necessities. After searching for a long time, they found no bookstore.

"Then our next step..."

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the door on the first floor!

The expressions of several people changed.

They quickly walked downstairs, and at this time, there was a sound outside the door.

"Please, open the door, I, I don't want to die!"

The sound doesn't sound like an evil spirit.

But how could Dong Xie open the door so easily? He walked to the door and asked, "Who are you? Why should we open the door for you?"

"Please, the people from the Black Corpse Team want to arrest me. After I am caught, I will be sent outside the Black Wall! I don't want to go there, no! I will die!"

Then, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside.

"There he is!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Ah, damn it!"

Then I heard the man's footsteps running away.

then……

"boom!"

A gunshot suddenly broke the silence.

"Ahhhh!" Then, a scream came from outside the door.

Not long after, the door was knocked again.

"We are from the Black Corpse Team! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

The other party has a gun!

Obviously, if you don't open the door at this time, the consequences will be self-evident.

Dong Xie had no choice but to open the door.

In any case, the other party does not seem to be an evil spirit. Since it is a human being, it can still communicate.

Outside the door were several gray-masked men wearing Black Corpse uniforms.

At this time, a man with the same gray mask was dragged by several members of the Black Corpse Team and forcibly tied up.

"Help, ah, ah... find me a doctor... help, ah..."

He must be the person who knocked on the door just now. It seems that he was shot in the leg.

"What is the relationship between the Face-Splitting Man and you?" a member of the Black Corpse Team said coldly: "It is a felony to harbor the Face-Splitting Man. Are you his relatives?"

"We don't know him!" Dong Xie quickly explained: "We are tenants who have just rented this house and just moved in today."

"Rent a house?" A member of the Black Corpse Team sneered: "Is there anyone willing to rent this kind of house? Where's the contract?"

Mu Ziyi immediately handed the contract to the members of the Black Corpse Team.

"Give him morphine! I don't want to hear him screaming here all the time. It's too noisy!"

At this time, the tied man's wounds were briefly treated, and then someone opened his sleeves and injected him with something.

After the injection, the man gradually calmed down and begged: "Please, I don't want to go outside the black wall! I, I really had no choice. At that time, my sister and I were surrounded by several people in red masks.

Then, they are going to do that kind of thing to my sister... I have to take off the mask to..."

Then, one of the Black Corpse members punched the man's mask hard.

What made Dong Xie find it strange was that the punch was so powerful that it didn't knock off the mask.

"You can only take off your mask in your own residence. Unless you get permission, even in your own home, people facing high-level masks cannot take off their masks. These are absolute laws. Taking off your mask privately will be the result. Yours

Once the mask cracks, you can't escape anywhere, even if you change another mask, it will still crack."

"Brother, please, please save me..." The man known as the Face Splitter hugged the thigh of the Black Corpse Team member, "I, I don't want to die..."

"Your mask will completely crack in a few days." At this time, a member of the Black Corpse Team on horseback said to him condescendingly: "When that time comes, your end will be much better than death.
