During the mission, it is inevitable to encounter fellow explorers.
For ordinary people, meeting a mystery seeker may be considered a blessing when something strange comes.
But for the explorers on the mission, meeting their colleagues is not necessarily a good thing...
Because there is not only competition among the explorers, but also many people will covet the mysterious heritage and divine materials of their peers.
Therefore, there are many explorers who have been hacked during their missions.
As for meeting a colleague by chance during a mission, there is also a set of slang in the exploration industry.
To use the metaphor of colors in a roulette wheel, if you encounter well-intentioned colleagues, you can call them "scarlet letters."
If you encounter the kind of insidious person who stabs you in the back, it is undoubtedly a "black letter".
However, it is not possible to directly tell whether it is a "red letter" or a "black letter" from the opponent's state and mask.
At this moment, when Sean discovered that an explorer had also entered the "Clown House", he felt a little nervous——
It's not that he has no faith in human nature, it's just that they have no spiritual power now...
No matter what role the other party plays, he doesn't like this passive situation.
After all, there are quite a few potential blackmailers who may remain in good faith due to the deterrent of strength.
And there are many scarlet letters swaying, and when the "time is right", they may also commit murder and seize the treasure.
Sean and Yueguang knew this well, and stood up quickly after seeing each other.
Olivia helped Father Taylor, whose legs and feet were not very flexible.
"We have Father Taro and Olivia..." Although they have no spiritual power, their hand-to-hand combat abilities are pretty good.
"Moonlight and I both have guns..." Moonlight carried Sean's M1920 revolver.
"Even if the other party really sees that our spiritual power has reached the bottom...
"If they dare to take action, we can bite them hard..."
Sometimes, as long as you have the ability to "take a hard bite", the other party will weigh in and restrain themselves.
Ta, tap, tap...
The leader walked into the corridor first.
Porch lights illuminated their masks and figures.
The leader of the team walking in front was wearing a special combat leather jacket with iron-colored chains and buckles, making him look strong and capable.
The mask on the face is a silent, scarred, and chiseled face, with a faint red flame burning on it.
That flame symbolizes something unyielding.
"The remnants of the destroyed legion." A rather special Queen-level mask.
According to legend, the "remnant soldiers" are all burdened with some extremely painful memories, and they will be extremely powerful in their revenge actions.
And the flames on this mask are not just an illusion...
That flame will produce a burning sensation that is less severe than an actual burn.
Only those who are determined can wear such a mask.
Following the remnants was a "Black Death Doctor" wearing a beak mask. He was a Jack-level man wearing a black cloak, symbolizing the yin energy of death surrounding him.
The third person in their team is a "dark chess piece".
That man was hiding in the shadows of the remnant soldiers and the Black Death Doctor.
If it were Jack's same level, it would be difficult to notice the existence of this hidden chess piece.
In the eyes of Queen-level Sean and Moonlight, this kind of hiding is meaningless.
"A Queen leads two Jacks..."
"On paper, they are weaker than us." Sean couldn't let down his guard. Under the blue mask, he looked directly at each other with fearless eyes, as if to say: "If you have any ridiculous ideas, that's your choice." Put yourself in danger.”
The remnant soldiers walked over looking a little unscrupulous.
His boots thumped with each step.
Not good…
Sean narrowed his eyes.
Generally speaking, the more polite way to meet is to keep a safe distance.
Walking straight over like this... there's something wrong with the other party's condition.
Sean's hands were still exposed to the air in a friendly gesture.
At this moment, the somewhat weak spirit has already grasped the carbine.
The remaining soldiers reached an obviously dangerous distance - the distance between the two sides was only about one meter.
Sean just stood steadily, seemingly observing the other person's words and deeds.
The other party put his hand into his leather jacket and took out one...
A metal barrel with a buckle.
With a crisp sound, the remaining soldier opened the metal copper buckle.
He turned the mouth of the tube to himself, put his fingers in, fiddled with it for a long time, and took out a star-shaped cookie from the tube.
The cookies are also garnished with dried blueberries.
His rough fingers twisted the cookies and handed them over.
"It's for you." Can Bing's vocal cords sounded as if they had been burned, making them unbearably rough. "Please eat."
This, this?
Sean was in a daze.
Is this an expression of kindness?
Sean reached out his hand in confusion and took the five-pointed star cookie.
You can feel its crunchiness with your fingers - the little iron cylinder has a good seal.
Behind the remnant, the Black Death Doctor turned his long beak to Sean: "He likes the star-shaped ones best - it seems he likes you."
Sean held the biscuit and stared at the remnant soldiers in front of him with some wonder.
There's something special about this guy's way of expressing "love"...
After observing carefully from such a close distance, he discovered that the edge of the residual soldier's mask was deeply attached to his face.
This means that he is a "person who gives up his true appearance".
Among the ranks of the Explorers, there is a group of people who have become crazy for various reasons and choose never to take off their masks again.
This is true for the "unique book collector" in the Queen-level library, and the same seems to be true for the "remnants of the destroyed legion" in front of him.
Some people get so involved in acting that they forget about themselves.
Some people do it because they don’t want to go back to their daily lives…
There are also people who show their determination in this way because of some things that they have worked hard to remember.
In short, "giving up your true appearance" is a slightly pathological choice that requires huge sacrifices.
However, they can get unexpected rewards for such sacrifice——
Their functions will become purer and they will definitely be the best in their class.
The spiritual power is also purer than those of the same level.
The only thing to worry about is that they are mentally different from ordinary people.
Under some special mental attacks, it may become more unstable.
From this point of view, the other party’s behavior of giving cookies to me as soon as they met...
That’s understandable.
Sean took out a stick of Yellow Arrow chewing gum from his invisible stomach pouch—a new gadget that had just appeared in a glass jar in the grocery store. Sean originally planned to buy it for Aaliyah to try.
Passing the chewing gum to the other party's hand, Can Bing smiled: "Fruit flavored. I like it."
Behind the remnant soldiers, the Black Death Doctor shrugged: "Okay, since our boss likes you...
"You guys look a little tired, let's try something exciting..." His voice became mysterious because he was deliberately lowered.
Just as Sean was about to ask, the other party had already taken out two small glass test tubes from his cloak.
The test tubes were filled with blue liquid. The Black Death Doctor shook the two test tubes violently with both hands, and then flicked off the corks with his thumbs...
The blue liquid quickly evaporated into a blue atmosphere.
After inhaling the faint blue air, Sean felt that his spiritual power began to grow like boiling.
Can Bing peeled off the wrapping paper of the chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth, grinning while chewing.
