Chapter 36: The First Mask!
"You know so much about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor being robbed. So, from what perspective are you telling this story?"
"As a participant?"
Chen Ye laughed, "Yes, you’re right. I am one of the twelve tomb raiders."
"I don’t want to say too much about the specific situation. You all just need to know that out of the original twelve tomb raiders, only one is left now."
"Today, several masks have changed hands countless times."
Cheng Haixing nodded, "Okay, we won’t hold you accountable for stealing from tombs. But we need you to tell us where one of the masks is now."
"We can only believe what you say when we actually see the other masks."
Chen Ye grinned, "Sure."
Since you are in such a hurry…
I suggest releasing the mask early.
"System, begin evolution."
。。。
Donghai City.
On the road.
Jiang Quan, who was patrolling on the road as usual, suddenly received a phone call.
"Hello?"
A crisp female voice suddenly came from the phone, "Where were you last night? You didn’t answer the phone or reply to messages?"
Hearing the woman’s voice, Jiang Quan paused for a moment, "Wasn’t it your mom who asked me to check on your grandpa yesterday?"
"I left in a hurry and forgot my phone," the woman’s voice came again.
The woman’s voice came again, "Did you go? My mom was waiting for you at the hospital all night."
Jiang Quan seemed to remember something, "Oh, at the hospital?"
"What then?" the woman on the phone questioned.
"Darn it, I spent the night in the mountains yesterday," Jiang Quan said speechlessly, "So it wasn’t your grandpa?"
Woman, "…"
Woman, "Come back alive and well!"
Jiang Quan, "I’m on a mission, we’ll talk later tonight."
Woman, "You…"
Without letting the woman finish, Jiang Quan hung up the phone.
He gently touched the small wooden sword at his waist, then directly threw away the urn in his hand.
"Ah, what a wasted night."
At that moment, Jiang Quan’s phone rang again.
"Hello?"
A steady man’s voice came through the phone, "Zheng Yi, where are you?"
Jiang Quan, "I’m on patrol, what’s up, master?"
"Put aside your current task. Starting today, you have a new assignment. Come back to the office."
Jiang Quan, "What kind of assignment?"
"It’s something you’re good at."
。。。
Night fell.
Inside a narrow street in Donghai City.
A young man was surrounded by five big men in a corner, his face covered in blood. "Remember, if you don’t pay back the money within three days, next time we’ll break one of your arms!"
After their threat, the five burly men left the narrow street.
The young man, leaning against the wall with a face full of despair, muttered, "These idiots… I wish I could just die."
"Stupid reality…"
The young man slowly stood up, using the wall for support and staggering like a cripple.
There was no life left in the young man’s eyes; he was ready to die.
However, he didn’t dare to fight back against those men because they wouldn’t kill him, but rather continue to beat and torment him.
Instead of enduring their endless torture…
It would be better to end it all by myself.
The young man thought like this, when suddenly a mask fell from the sky and hit him on the head!
"Oh… even the heavens are against me?!"
The young man’s eyes turned red, and he kicked the mask away fiercely!
And the next moment, a strange low whisper echoed in his ears!
"Little one, you have quite a temper."
"Who made you so angry?"
Hearing that whisper, the young man instantly got furious, "Who?!"
"Who is speaking?!"
The soft singing came again, "Are you looking for me, little one? Didn’t you just push me away?"
Upon hearing this, the young man finally realized, "Mask?"
The mask let out another unsettling hum, "Hehe, it’s me, little one. Why are you so troubled? Is someone bothering you?"
Is the thing speaking a person or a ghost?
Or is someone playing tricks?
The young man felt a surge of anger rising in him, completely ignoring these.
"Are you laughing at me too, even you, something neither human nor ghost, want to laugh at me?!"
As the young man was about to step on the mask, what the mask said next made him stop in his tracks.
"Haha, teasing, maybe think about why people tease you, is it because you are weak?"
"The winner becomes the king, the loser becomes the loser, it has always been this way throughout history."
The young man’s eyes turned red, "What can I do, things haven’t been going well for me after graduation, those people are all idiots!"
"Everyone looks down on me, excludes me, those idiotic leaders make things difficult for me, just because they think I am an easy target!"
Mask, "Have you ever thought why they bully you?"
"Do they face their kings the same way they face you? In the end, it’s just that you are not strong enough."
"Young man, if you do not become the king, a hundred kings will rise up, and you will only be subject to others, serving as a slave and being ordered around."
"So why don’t you become the king?"
"If you are willing, I am willing to assist you and wish you become the king."
Become the king?
The young man’s eyes suddenly became confused, "Can you help me become king?"
Mask, "Of course, it depends on whether you have the ambition."
The young man slowly picked up the mask, "What should I do?"
Mask, "What is your name?"
The young man replied, "Wang Chan."
Mask, "Wang Chan, hmm, good, put me on your face, I will lend you my power, help you to…"
"…become king!"
Become king!
Wang Chan’s eyes turned red, and he forcefully put the mask on his face!
In the next moment, the mask suddenly released countless black energy, rushing into his body directly!
His body began to expand, his size growing, bones lengthening, and muscles bulging layer by layer!
In no time, Wang Chan’s height increased to two meters!
His body and muscles became extremely developed, ripping through his clothes!
Even his hair grew down to his waist!
He stood there with wild hair, like a madman!
And at that moment, Wang Chan felt an unprecedented power filling every part of his body!
"This!"
"This power?!"
"This feeling… I feel like I can control everything!"
"Hehe, hahaha!"
"Heaven has eyes, I will repay them double for all the grievances I have suffered!"
Wang Chan’s eyes turned blood red, his skin gradually becoming pale like a dead person.
But he completely ignored it!
At that moment, countless figures in black suddenly emerged from the shadows!
They also had blood-red eyes, their bodies seemed to be made of black mist, appearing unreal and ghostly.
The right arm of these figures in black was a huge scimitar, appearing very broad, while the left arm was extremely slender, like it had not developed properly.
"Who are these people?"
The voice behind the mask spoke again, "Ghost Shadow Corps, they are your warriors and your sharp blades, able to help the new king achieve greatness."
"Remember, the key to controlling them lies in uniting and working together."
