Several members of the Black Corpse Team blocked Roger, Nicole and Dong Xie.
"I have put on the blue mask." Roger changed the mask inside the tent. The tent set up can be regarded as a "temporary residence", and the mask can be changed inside.
"Even so..."
"If we don't go to the front line in person, what's the point of the existence of us corpse chasers? Get out of the way. In this profession, I have long been prepared to sacrifice my life at any time."
When Dong Xie heard these words, he respected Roger a lot. No matter what, not everyone can sacrifice their lives.
"An...Mr. Andolfo," one of the team members continued to persuade: "It's really too dangerous. So many members of the Black Corpse Team will be gone in the blink of an eye!"
"Get out of the way... I am wearing a blue mask now. Do you want to disobey me?"
Roger's character is obviously more stubborn, and it is impossible for him not to know the danger ahead, but he still insists on moving forward.
Not long after...
They arrived at the outermost edge of the guard post.
In the outermost area, wooden piles were erected one after another, and white masks were placed on each wooden pile. Any foreign spirit approaching would be spatially transferred to other places by the white mask.
It can be said that this place is completely impregnable.
Originally, here, one or two members of the Black Corpse Team were stationed at each wooden stake. If the situation changed, a signal flare would be fired to notify the camp.
The footprints on the ground have been covered by new heavy snow.
No one knows what happened here.
Roger also wore a white mask and a blue mask at the same time. If there were supernatural beings around, he would not know it. However, he didn't have any perception now.
"This does not conform to the behavior of supernatural beings." Roger became more and more puzzled: "If he really invaded, why did he leave so quickly?"
Nicole also looked around and said: "Mr. Andolfo, why don't we go back first. If it doesn't work, we have to jointly bear the responsibility for the corpse chasers. It is impossible for the Silver Council to kill all the corpse chasers."
Execution?"
"Xia Ya, do you really think... we can escape unscathed?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you know...mutated supernatural spirits?"
When Nicole heard "mutation", her body suddenly trembled.
"My grandfather mentioned it to me...but he and I never talked about it specifically."
"If it is really a mutant spirit, even if we want to escape, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."
Then, Roger suddenly said something again.
"My family is a family of corpse chasers. Back then, my grandfather followed His Majesty Mengla, the King of the Golden Mask, on the final expedition outside the wall."
When Dong Xie heard this, he immediately became energetic.
It is a fact known to everyone that Mengla, the King of the Golden Mask, is missing outside the wall. Only a handful of those who followed him on the expedition returned to the wall alive. The specific details of that expedition have so far been banned by the government.
Ordinary people don't understand it at all.
"That time... there was a mutated spirit." Roger continued: "However, even mutated spirits will still be frightened by the golden mask."
"Then...His Majesty Mengla, he..."
"If the people from Char's Council really got information about the Golden Mask and sent us to take it back, even if we go back, the people from the Silver-faced Council will never open the city gate and let us return. As long as we can get the Golden Mask
, they won’t mind how many of us die.”
"What if someone snatches the golden mask outside the wall and puts it on?" Nicole said anxiously, "As long as he puts on the golden mask, he will become a king!"
"So there must be people sent by the parliament in the team, and they will definitely make sure to bring the mask back."
At this time, Dong Xie asked: "But how can the council ensure that the people they send in will not take the Mo Mask for themselves?"
"There are many ways." Roger obviously knew the dirty work of the government. "The Black Corpse Team is an independent department on the surface, but there are always people secretly sent in by the government. The government has always adopted some orphans, brainwashed them from an early age, and used them to
Drugs control them and turn them into dead soldiers without personal will."
"Drugs???" This was obviously the first time Nicole had heard of this kind of thing: "The government uses drugs?"
"In this expedition, there will definitely not be a few people from within the government who have sneaked in. In fact, our every move should be known within the wall at all times."
"Then we can only...find the mask? If we can't find it, the council would rather we die outside?"
Nicole couldn't believe the government would do this.
"That's not the case. It's not easy to train corpse chasers. At least they won't let all the corpse chasers die. But at least, the government needs us to do our best to search. If we can't find them, we can return to the city wall.
"
Having said this, Roger continued: "We cannot return to the city. We must continue to fight."
Nicole immediately expressed her objection: "No, at least send someone back to contact the parliament?"
"How long does it take to go back and forth? And you don't really think the government will respond to you, do you? This is obviously because the parliament represented by James sent us out as scouts to obtain masks. Even if we can't seize the gold
Mask, but also bring back information that satisfies the council."
After hearing what Roger said, Dong Xie had to admit that what he said did make sense.
But why did the evil spirits disappear after they invaded? Is it because of the restrictions in the apartment? Or is it some other reason?
No……
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
The evil spirit should now hide himself under the mask and blend into the team.
In the next expedition, the fangs will be exposed.
"Xia Ya, actually I'm worried about something."
"Worried? What's going on?"
"Your Majesty Meng La... the former King of the Golden Mask, if he dies, then he will become a Face Melter. And in this way, he will probably become the most terrifying alien spirit. The Golden Mask is too special
After his death, no one knows whether he turned into a Face Melter or a more terrifying alien spirit."
In the wind and snow, everyone is worried.
And no one knows what will happen next moment.
This unknown fear weighs on everyone's heart.
Dong Xie also realized something. The Nicole and Roger in front of him were probably evil spirits wearing masks.
The dormancy of these evil spirits will give them the most terrifying blow at the critical moment.
"However," Dong Xie asked again at this time: "Is the golden mask really unbreakable? It is also possible that His Majesty Meng La took off the mask before his death, and then the mask broke? After all, if it were me,
I would rather die than become a strange spirit."
Andolf explained to Dong Xie: "Actually, this statement is not accurate. It should be said that even if the golden mask is cracked, it can be quickly repaired. In the past, the golden mask once broke during the fight, although the breakage was very small.
It soon recovered automatically, but at that time, everyone's masks were shattered at that moment and then repaired automatically. Most people don't know that this happened because of the golden mask. But if the golden mask is destroyed, then the wall
All the masks inside will be shattered. This proves that the golden mask must still exist in this world!"
