Chapter 990 Mask (Two in one, please subscribe!!!)

"Yes, people wearing masks." Ye Sheng nodded and said, "Some of them are wearing masks of humans, some are wearing masks of beasts, and some are wearing masks of monsters that we have never seen before. Compared with those deadpools, the postures and behaviors of these masked people are more like humans."

"Do those people have reason?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I don't know if they are rational or not, but at least they have wisdom." Ye Sheng said, "Those masked people surrounded me. I saw pairs of golden pupils under their masks. They were human eyes, different from Deadpool's snake-like pupils. But those eyes were full of empty light. I don't know if they are still conscious."

"What did those masked people do to you?" Nuonuo asked immediately.

"Let me think, at the beginning they were chanting something I couldn't understand. It wasn't human language, it was a bit like dragon script, but it wasn't exactly the same as the dragon script I knew before." Ye Sheng knocked on his head, trying to remember more things from his messy brain. "I can't learn that kind of language, but the more they chanted, the more confused my brain became, and my consciousness seemed to be sinking. I knew I couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so I used up my last bit of strength to break out of their encirclement, but I had just experienced a battle with Deadpool and didn't have much strength left, and those masked men were more powerful than I thought. I bumped into them like I was hitting a copper wall and an iron wall. I couldn't rush out at all and fell to the ground. I could only let them chant around me. In a trance, I seemed to see ghost fire and thunder."

"It sounds like a cult ritual," Finkel commented.

"Yes, it's like I was brainwashed, a complete brainwashing in the physical sense. I have never felt such power before. It's more terrifying than the 'hypnosis' of teacher Masashi Toyama." Thinking of this, Ye Sheng couldn't help but shudder. "The feeling of waiting for consciousness to fall into sleep is really too uncomfortable. It's completely different from the feeling of sleeping. It's like there's a vortex in the brain that wants to tear your existence and consciousness into it. The brain feels like it's going to split apart."

"And then you lost consciousness?" Nuonuo looked into Ye Sheng's eyes and asked, "Brother, do you remember anything else? Besides those masked guys surrounding you and chanting spells like charlatans, did they do anything else? And what about Odin, did you notice what state Odin was in?"

The questions that Nuonuo asked were very crucial, because she wanted to know how Odin controlled other people's consciousness. Such a profound power must be either the power of words or some tools. It must be related to Odin himself. It is definitely not as simple as just finding a group of charlatans to dance around one person and cast spells... What Ye Sheng saw was most likely just a trick. Odin wanted to divert his attention through those masked guys. There must be some details that Ye Sheng did not notice.

"Odin... I don't know. At that time, those masked men surrounded me so tightly that I couldn't see Odin at all. I only remember that my consciousness was very heavy and I didn't have the strength to use the 'snake'." Ye Sheng pondered and suddenly seemed to remember something. "Oh, by the way, Odin seemed to have been saying something during this period. His voice was like thunder, as if it fell from the sky."

Nuo Nuo, who had been quietly listening to Ye Sheng's narration, suddenly grabbed Ye Sheng's shoulders and said excitedly, "Is Odin talking... Brother, are you saying that Odin was talking when you lost consciousness?"

"It should be, but my head was too dizzy, and I couldn't hear a word clearly." Ye Sheng said uncertainly, "He seemed to be speaking Longwen, or something else. I'm not sure if it was a language I had never heard of. It's really not a memory that people want to remember. Thinking about it now, it feels like a nightmare."

"I know, Brother, the situation at that time must have been terrifying and painful for you, but we are now trapped in the Nibelungen." Lu Mingfei patted Ye Sheng's shoulder and showed him something. "Do you remember this? What else can you think of when you see this thing?"

Ye Sheng's eyes moved. Lu Mingfei showed him a mask that looked like a black crow. The mask had a sharp beak and black feathers that were shiny under the light, as if they were plucked one by one from a living crow and then carefully sewn together. Except for the two eyes that were hollowed out, the mask was flawlessly made and could be called a work of art worthy of being collected in an art gallery.

Ye Sheng's expression changed constantly, his eyes were wide open, staring at the black crow mask, obviously recalling some bad memories.

"This mask..." Ye Sheng spoke slowly, a little hesitant.

"I got it from you." Lu Mingfei said, "When I saw you, you were wearing this mask, Brother Ye Sheng."

Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo both stared at Ye Sheng's eyes and face, paying attention to the changes in his emotions... It's not that they were afraid that Ye Sheng was hiding something from them, but just because Ye Sheng couldn't remember something didn't mean that his brain didn't remember it. The subconscious mind couldn't lie.

"I remember this mask." Ye Sheng exhaled slowly and said, "I remember this mask was worn on someone else's face when I first saw it."

"Wear it on someone else's face?" Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo were both stunned. Ye Sheng's words once again surprised them.

"Yes, they were the guys wearing masks, and one of them was wearing this mask." Ye Sheng said slowly, "When I was about to lose consciousness, this person suddenly approached me and came in front of me. My vision went dark, and I didn't know what happened next. When I opened my eyes again, I was in this movie theater, and I saw you all gathered around me, discussing the Hulk and the Black Widow."

"In the comics, the Hulk and the Black Widow are really having an affair!" Finkel suddenly became excited, but at this time everyone's attention was obviously not on who was having an affair with whom in the superhero comics.

Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo looked at each other. The situation was somewhat beyond their expectations. According to Ye Sheng's description, this crow mask first appeared on someone else's face. Those masked people surrounded him, and when he lost consciousness, the crow mask suddenly approached him... Then when they met again, it was Ye Sheng wearing this mask, attacking Lu Mingfei, and he was obviously unconscious.

And now Ye Sheng regained consciousness.

  So there are probably two things that can be confirmed. First, this mask can be recycled. Second, the method of controlling others is not only related to Odin’s own abilities, but may also be related to these masks!

"When you said you saw me, I was wearing this mask." Ye Sheng was not a fool. Of course, he could imagine that someone put a mask on his face. Ye Sheng looked at Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo and asked, "So what was I doing when you saw me?"

Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo looked at each other. Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell Ye Sheng the truth: "I had just filled up the gas tank, and you actually jumped out from the gas station and wanted to kill me with a knife."

"I know that these wounds on my body were not caused by the fight with Deadpool, nor were they caused by those masked guys when I lost consciousness. If they wanted to hurt me, there was no reason for them not to kill me." Ye Sheng smiled bitterly, "They were caused by the fight with you, right?"

“I’m sorry, Brother.” Lu Mingfei showed a guilty expression, “You were wearing a mask at the time, I didn’t know it was you, I tried to communicate with you, but you didn’t respond to me…”

"No, no, no, I don't mean to blame you." Ye Sheng sighed, shook his head and said, "Alas, I should be the one to apologize. If I hadn't been so arrogant and rashly accepted this mission, none of these things would have happened. I was controlled by the enemy and almost hurt my junior brother. Fortunately, you didn't get hurt, otherwise I would really be ashamed for the rest of my life." "It's not that serious, senior brother, I'm fine." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice, "But Mr. Shao's car was almost scrapped."

"What?" Ye Sheng didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Oh, by the way..." Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered about Chu Zihang. He originally wanted to ask Ye Sheng, but then he remembered that when Chu Zihang disappeared, Ye Sheng had been controlled for who knows how long, and he probably wouldn't get anything out of him, so he changed the question.

"Brother, when you were controlled, you lost all consciousness, right?" Lu Mingfei looked at Ye Sheng and asked, "Have you ever heard of, or seen anywhere, the name 'Chu Tianjiao'?"

"Chu Tianjiao?" Ye Sheng thought about it and shook his head decisively, "No impression."

"Okay." Lu Mingfei sighed, but he was not too disappointed. After all, this was expected. Ye Sheng had been controlled almost since he entered Nibelungen and only regained consciousness now. He had no time to explore the city at all.

What’s more, Chu Tianjiao was the person who disappeared seven years ago.

After Lu Mingfei and the others finished asking questions, Ye Sheng also had a lot of doubts: "How long has it been since I entered Nibelungen?"

"Three weeks." Lu Mingfei said truthfully, "To be precise, it's three weeks and two days. Today is the third day."

"What!" Ye Sheng's eyes widened. This answer was completely beyond his expectations. "Three weeks have passed!"

He originally thought that only a few days had passed, but this time was too long. Even if it was an ordinary mission, he shouldn't have been out of contact for so long. He hadn't contacted Aki for such a long time. God knows if she would be looking for him all over the world.

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Aki won’t worry about you.” Lu Mingfei saw Ye Sheng’s worry and took the initiative to comfort him, “Since you entered Nibelungen, it’s like your existence has been erased from this world. Before entering Nibelungen, Senior Sister and Brother Feichai had forgotten about you…”

Lu Mingfei explained to Ye Sheng the strange rules of this Nibelungen and the fact that he had been forgotten before, and Ye Sheng's expression became more complicated.

"In other words, Aki has forgotten me?" When Ye Sheng asked this question, he looked like a dog on the street.

"It's just temporary, ha." Lu Mingfei encouraged, "As long as we get out of Nibelungen, everything will return to normal. Don't worry. Think about it from another perspective. At least Senior Sister Aki won't be worried about you during this period, right? This is a good thing."

Ye Sheng thought about it and felt that what Lu Mingfei said seemed to make sense. The most urgent task now was how to get out of Nibelungen. If he was trapped here, it would be useless to think more.

"Is there no way to contact the college?" Ye Sheng asked.

"We can't help it. This Nibelungen is unknown. Even in the real world, the elements of this city are completely disordered, and the communication equipment can't contact the satellite signal." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said, "We can only rely on ourselves, and we came here for other things besides saving you."

  "Other things?" Odin's figure flashed in Ye Sheng's mind. He wondered if Lu Mingfei was here to kill that "god"-like guy?

However, if it was Lu Mingfei, Ye Sheng felt that it was not impossible. After all, Lu Mingfei was the only "S"-level student in Kassel Academy and the most popular candidate for the next dragon-slaying leader. He had solved the crises in Bronze City and the capital's subway. Even Principal Angers said that he was born to slay dragons... If there was anyone who could really kill that "god-like" existence, Ye Sheng felt that there was a high probability that that person was Lu Mingfei.

"It's for Chu Zihang." Lu Mingfei explained, "Seven years ago, a man named Chu Tianjiao mistakenly entered Nibelungen. That man was Chu Zihang's father..."

Lu Mingfei told Ye Sheng what happened to Chu Tianjiao and Chu Zihang seven years ago in the most concise language, but he silently concealed some of the discoveries in Chu Tianjiao's cabin, such as Chu Tianjiao's investigation and the relationship between that man and the secret party.

"So, Junior Brother Chu is also trapped in this Nibelungen, and so is his father?" Ye Sheng was a little surprised. "I didn't expect that he had such an experience. No wonder he has always been a little withdrawn."

Lu Mingfei thought that Chu Zihang's introverted personality had little to do with his experience. This guy has been like this since junior high school. But you, Senior Brother Ye Sheng, had a childhood experience several times worse than Chu Zihang's, but you actually became such a cheerful and steady man. It's really surprising.

"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother, those guys wearing masks you mentioned, Senior Brother and Sister also encountered their sneak attacks." Lu Mingfei said, "But they were all killed by Eri. These masks were taken off their faces. Are they the same as what you saw at that time?"

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei took out a stack of masks from somewhere and showed them to Ye Sheng one by one.

"Ah... yes, I remember that." Ye Sheng was a little surprised, "They were all killed? The Eri you mentioned is..."

Ye Sheng's gaze subconsciously fell on Eri. For this unfamiliar name, there was only one strange girl present whom he had never seen before.

"Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to my wife." Lu Mingfei held Eri's hand and said to Ye Sheng, "This is Eri, my wife."
