A shadow covered by dark rocks appeared in front of Wujiu, as if he was immersed in the deep sea, watching the light and shadow on the sea.
That illusory reflection was Liu Mu. Behind Liu Mu, there was Nie Chongshan standing proudly in the low sky.
Although Liu Mu had never seen the degeneration of Wujiu Evil, when the dying Bai Wu touched the mask, the consciousness of those who had a karmic relationship with Bai Wu merged in an instant.
At this moment, Bai Wu's ability to multitask was pushed to the limit.
The moment he touched the mask, he seemed to be in multiple worlds at the same time.
…
…
A few minutes ago.
There is a lake in the dead and desolate mountain village.
This lake is called Zao Lake. It has nurtured this mountain village for hundreds of years, and it has also buried countless histories and strange stories in the village.
The biggest weird thing is the water ghost in the lake.
The village outside the lake was filled with deathly silence. Death never stopped here. For seven hundred years, the people living in the village seemed to be experiencing one cycle of death after another.
Until one day, a little girl came to the village. She was wearing a red long skirt with several black lines on the edge of the skirt.
She looked innocent but her eyes were empty. In her hands she was holding a bunch of huge black balloons. If you stared at those balloons for a long time, you would occasionally see strange eyes.
Since this little girl came, there have been fewer strange incidents in the village.
She has become the patron saint of the village.
The only one who can defeat the evil in the lake is a more evil existence, and Hong Yin is such a being.
Ever since they joined forces and killed the traveler, Nie Chongshan fulfilled his promise and brought Hong Yin to this deserted village.
But she could never find the feeling she wanted in the deserted village. No one here was like her grandmother.
With the closure of the well, the boundaries of various areas were opened again... Hong Yin stayed here forever.
She originally thought that she would never be able to leave here, and that she would remain here, fighting against the strange existence in the lake, forever and ever.
Until the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and a familiar shadow appeared.
"Brother, why are you here?"
…
…
Food city.
The moment he saw the red blood mist, Bai Wu felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken.
When the huge Hydra appeared in the blood mist, he suddenly thought that the cause and effect that had been changed in the telephone booth was false.
Gu Hailin is already dead. The former captain of the Seventh Team led a heroic charge with one man against a thousand others, and all the elite members of the coalition forces were killed.
The masked monster never came, and even if it was just a lie, the legend of the shelter never reached Gu Hailin's ears.
These thoughts instantly popped up in his mind, but as the notes popped up in his eyes, at that moment, Bai Wu understood everything.
He had never expected that he would see Gu Hailin again here...
"You came."
"Are you waiting for me?"
"We are waiting for you."
Outside the phantom, looking at the scene in the blood mist, Bai Wu suddenly became speechless.
"Ninety years... Have you found a shelter?"
This question, full of vicissitudes, made Bai Wu unable to tell the truth—there was no shelter at all, and the man named Gu Qingyu had never led people out of the tower.
The silence of the white fog seems to explain a lot of problems.
Just when he thought that his request for help would be rejected, the huge figure in the blood mist said:
"It seems that we are needed to build the shelter."
The blood was slowly becoming hotter, and as twenty-four figures riding on black flaming horses rushed into the shadow, Bai Wu suddenly understood.
For these guys who have waited for ninety years and are willing to transform themselves into evil, the refuge is no longer an empty lie.
This is their long-cherished wish that they will spend their entire lives to achieve!
If there is no shelter, if the masked man they saw ninety years ago was just a lie - then create a shelter!
…
…
Outside the tower, Violet Manor.
Seeing the evil bones in the shadow, Violet said:
"There's a familiar smell about you."
Time was running out, so Bai Wu chose to explain his identity in the most efficient way. He took out the boat ticket.
When the little girl in the purple room saw the ticket, her eyes widened.
"Time is running out. Don't mind the changes in my appearance. I have found your father. His name is Zhong Xu, right?"
"Bring him to me! Bring him to me!" Violet's eyes were bloodshot because she opened them too wide. She waved her hand.
In the three-choice dilemma left by Cain, the chainsaw in the long box seemed to be inspired by something and appeared in Violet's hands.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"It's just right. I'm here to fulfill my promise. But I can't bring him to see you. He is the most evil and powerful creature I have ever seen. I can only take you to see him, and you may die in his hands." Bai Wu did not lie.
Violet smiled a childish smile that sent chills down one's spine:
"Well, either I kill him or he kills me."
Looking at this creepy smile, Bai Wu finally understood what it meant to hate someone to the core.
…
…
Outside the tower, unknown area.
Suddenly he appeared in a place that looked like a museum. Bai Wu was a little dazed because he had never been to this place before.
It wasn't until he saw a beautiful figure that he suddenly realized.
Originally he thought that the only person he could rely on was Hong Yin, but Bai Wu never expected that someone he had only met once would be chosen by the mask.
"You look... somewhat familiar."
The woman's voice was somewhat seductive. She was not deliberately being seductive, because no matter who saw this face, they would not care about her voice.
"Chen Shuyue, I need your help."
Beyond the shadow, the owner of this museum is none other than the beauty with a mole, Chen Shuyue.
Time was running out, and Bai Wu didn't plan to communicate with Chen Shuyue slowly like he did when he persuaded Li Zi.
After hearing these three long-lost words, Shen Shuyue was not surprised, but smiled strangely:
"I haven't heard this name for a long time. Where are you going to invite me to go? Do you know what happened to the last person who invited me to go somewhere?"
Bai Wu didn't know, and he still didn't know that the traveler was dead.
Hong Yin, Jing Eduo, Nie Chongshan, and Chen Shuyue, the four of them joined forces to kill the traveler.
The one who contributed the most was not Nie Chongshan, but Shen Shuyue, who could not be killed no matter how hard he tried, and even gained more enemies the more he killed.
"I don't know, but I want to invite you to the place where you were born, Li Zi... I'll be waiting for you there."
It was somewhat different from what Bai Wu had expected. When Shen Shuyue heard about Li Zi, she did not show the expression he expected. She just raised her eyebrows with a playful look in her eyes:
"It's another name I haven't heard for a long time."
Bai Wu felt a sense of crisis... Chen Shuyue seemed different from Li Zi, and he couldn't read Chen Shuyue's mentality for a moment.
"Let's go. Although some things are long gone for me, we should still put them to rest."
…
…
In the endless darkness, there are occasionally extremely faint and tiny points of light flashing.
They cannot bring any light, but only appear occasionally in this area.
If Bai Wu had not come into close contact with these firefly-like creatures, he would have even thought that he had appeared in the starry sky.
There were no notes in his eyes.
Regardless of what he saw or not, the Eye of Prell seemed to have disappeared, and his consciousness spread out. Bai Wu, who was multitasking and seeking help from several areas, encountered such a situation for the first time.
There seemed to be some extremely terrifying existence in the darkness, suppressing the sequence and entries on Bai Wu.
Under normal circumstances, the phantom can last for one minute, but Bai Wu felt that an invisible force was disintegrating the phantom.
Bai Wu felt a great sense of crisis in his heart. Or it could be said that he had never felt such a sense of crisis before.
He suddenly felt as if he had come before some extraordinary being, and he heard the sound of chains...
An extremely strong sense of oppression came over him, and even though he was in another world at the moment, he felt suffocated.
There are cracks on the mask!
Bai Wu didn't dare to delay, he quickly cancelled the link with this area.
Although there is no fear in my heart, there is great confusion.
Who is in this place that looks like a starry sky? Is the chain dragging because it is imprisoning someone
Who on earth had this karma with him? Why did the mask bring him here
Time was running out, and Bai Wu didn't think about this question for long.
More and more people entered the shadow, but this grand gathering was not over yet.
…
…
Baichuan Middle School.
When the white fog appeared beside Jiang Yimi, Jiang Yimi was reading a book and the little black cat was calling happily.
"Uncle, you, you... you really came to see me!"
Looking at the white mist in the shadow, Jiang Yimi was not unfamiliar with it. She had seen this form of white mist when dealing with the principal.
Bai Wu feels a little ashamed...
The little girl seemed to have some misunderstanding about him. He did want to come and see her, but he never had the time or the opportunity.
Now he finally came... but he came here because he was beaten and bleeding, and he came here to ask for help.
Jiang Yimi also noticed immediately that the uncle's body was in tatters. The bones that were strong enough to pierce through the principal's body had cracks, and many bones were even broken. His wings were also completely shattered.
Her joy vanished in an instant.
“I’m in some trouble… I need help.”
"Walk!"
The little girl didn't think much and rushed directly into the shadow.
…
…
Outside the tower, the swamp.
The masked man found himself waking up and appearing next to Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu again.
He was completely dumbfounded:
"We must be bound by karma, otherwise why do I keep running into you guys?"
Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu were a little confused. It was clearly the first time they saw this masked man, so why did he say he always encountered him
The masked man did not explain. He has always been a carefree person. Although a senior once said that in order to survive in the apocalypse, one must look three steps ahead, but the youthfulness in his heart has always prevented him from changing certain habits.
But no matter how thick-skinned he was, he knew now that there must be a cause and effect for him to wake up and meet these two people again and again. There was something strange going on.
Just when Nie Chongshan was about to challenge the masked monster again, the masked monster was also about to repeat the previous script, jogging to shake them off and go back to sleep...
Something unexpected happened.
The space began to distort, and a huge shadow appeared. In the shadow, Nie Chongshan saw an evil figure that looked quite similar to himself - Bai Wu.
Although Bai Wu's evil form is a skeleton demon and no bones can be seen on Nie Chongshan's body, their appearance is indeed extremely similar.
They all have broken bone wings, demonic horns, and the spikes on their foreheads, elbows, and knees make them look extremely powerful.
Bai Wu had never seen Liu Mu's appearance, but the note that popped up in his eyes made him understand in an instant that this person was Liu Mu.
He was about to explain what happened, thinking that maybe it was because of Liu Mu's karma that he came here - when he caught a glimpse of the masked man on the other side.
If Bai Wu was surprised that Gu Hailin and the others survived with the awareness of becoming evil, then the remarks of the masked man in front of him... shocked him.
“Lin…Lin Rui?”
The masked monster was also stunned. In the evil state, Bai Wu's voice had changed slightly. He had never seen Bai Wu in this state before, but he recognized the broken mask in Bai Wu's hand!
There are only two people who can possess this mask and call out their own names!
One is the person who gave him the mask seven hundred years ago! The other is a dying man whom he met by chance during his journey...
The masked monster took off his mask decisively. The crying boy in Food City seven hundred years ago had lost his youthfulness.
Although he did not age, there was a long, narrow scar on his face and he was missing one of his ears.
During the long journey of time and space, many things have changed, and he has forgotten many people.
He no longer remembered the girl he once liked, and had long forgotten the people who had bullied him.
He even began to forget his own name... because no one had called him by that name for so long, so long.
But he never forgot the image of the masked man putting the mask on his forehead with a gentle smile on his face on the streets of Food City seven hundred years ago.
“You are… you are… the masked man!
”
Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu didn't understand why the masked man called the person in the shadow the masked man. What puzzled them even more was that -
The masked weirdo who was acting so nervous just now is actually crying
Even Nie Chongshan and Liu Mu did not understand how much significance this reunion after seven hundred years of separation had for Lin Rui.
Past memories reappeared in Lin Rui's mind, only that day seven hundred years ago was always like yesterday to him!
"I am just a symbol. When I appear in this city, maybe people will have hope again. But what happens after I leave? Maybe soon, they will mock the faith in others' hearts again. After all, we can't be saved by others every time."
"This world is dying little by little. There are still many places where even more twisted and evil monsters are wreaking havoc on cities, and there are still many weak humans waiting for salvation. I'm sorry that I can't follow you all the time, so you have to become stronger. Be calmer and more composed in the face of danger."
“Don’t be afraid of evil and despair, face it with courage and wisdom. The process may be long, but when you are able to adapt, you will be a hero.”
"I'm handing this mask over to you. From today on, you have to take on the responsibility of protecting them. Can you do it?"
These conversations appeared in Lin Rui's mind and he had never forgotten them in seven hundred years.
Bai Wu looked at Lin Rui, and he suddenly felt a little dazed.
It turns out that the child from seven hundred years ago really became a hero!
It turns out that in this infinitely random world, I have so many causes and effects.
However, time was running out and Bai Wu could not express his feelings. Bai Wu said:
"Captain Liu, I'm Bai Wu. Wujiu is in danger... I need your help!"
A series of questions emerged in Liu Mu's mind, but when he heard that Wujiu was in danger, he didn't ask anything and walked straight into the shadow.
The shield is like this. When the sword needs it, it will never hesitate.
Nie Chongshan also walked in, but it had nothing to do with Wujiu, it was just because Bai Wu aroused his interest. Lin Rui would not shirk responsibility, when Bai Wu said he needed help, he had already entered the shadow.
…
…
Color field, fifth floor of the fortress.
In the huge fifth floor, the empty battlefield suddenly became crowded.
One after another, huge vortex-shaped phantoms condensed on the battlefield, and the space seemed to be distorted into a series of doors.
The moment these doors opened, Bai Wu didn't know what would happen in the future.
But at this moment, even without relying on the Eye of Prell, he could see a future—the first victory of mankind over the rulers!
