Chapter 956: Masked Man

The masked man watched him silently for a long time.

"Then tell me, what is the future like?"

"The future?" Chen Ling paused for a moment. "Soon, a world war will break out, the global population will drop rapidly, and when the war subsides, a gray world without color will drag the earth into the abyss... Three hundred years later, the human population in the world will not exceed one hundred million, and they will all be scattered in nine domains."

"A gray world without color?"

Hearing this description, the masked man was obviously stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing."

The masked man's gaze toward Chen Ling changed a bit. He hesitated for a long time before waving his hand to disperse the dark clouds above Chen Ling's head.

"Do you believe me?" Chen Ling asked.

"Not really." The masked man replied indifferently. "If the thundercloud gathers for too long, those 'White Hands' will soon notice this place, it's just for insurance."

After saying that, he reached out to Chen Ling.

"What?"

"My bell, give it back to me."

Chen Ling looked at the bell in his hand, and after a brief hesitation, he shook his wrist and swapped the bell and the magazine back.

No matter what, the masked man was also a friend of Senior Xiao Chunping, and as a member of the "White Hands," he was willing to risk his life to save himself from the siege... This showed that this masked man valued friendship quite a bit. Since he saved himself, Chen Ling couldn't really steal his treasure.

The masked man looked down at the bell that had returned to his hand, his tense body relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but ask:

"How did you do it?"

Chen Ling didn't answer immediately. After scanning the masked man a few times, he asked back, "Aren't you also a twisted Drama God Path? Can't you do it?"

Chen Ling clearly remembered that before he left the era archive last time, this masked man said, "Your Drama God Path is actually twisted too"... Chen Ling had remembered this sentence until now, which was also the reason why he wanted to return to the archive as soon as possible.

For a long time, Chen Ling thought that his twisted Drama God Path was strange and unique. He was eager to know if there was a second twisted Drama God Path in the world.

"No... I'm different from you." The masked man shook his head. "My situation is more complicated..."

"What a coincidence, my situation is also very complicated."

"I can see that, two souls trapped in one body, this situation is rare."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's pupils shrank slightly!

Even Yao, who had always been hidden in the deepest part of his mind, couldn't help but let out a soft sound of surprise.

He actually saw it??

You have to know, even the Ninth-Rank Demigod, the King of Silver, didn't notice Yao's existence... What on earth is the background of this masked man in front of him?

"Don't look at me like that." The masked man shrugged. "My God Path is a combination of 'Drama' and 'Witch,' and my perception of the soul is relatively keen... I discovered it the first time I saw you."

"A combination of 'Drama' and 'Witch'?" Chen Ling frowned. "Are you a Dual God Path??"

"Not really... I said, my situation is more complicated."

The masked man was about to say something more when the roar of propellers approached from a distance, and pale, bright searchlights swept across the wilderness and forest, as if carefully looking for something.

Chen Ling and the masked man turned to look at the same time!

"Didn't you say they wouldn't be able to find us in the short term?"

"That's definitely not my problem, either you've been tracked and locked onto by them! Or there is a Divination God Path constantly calculating your position!"

The roar of the propellers made the surrounding leaves dance wildly, and the hurricane blew the hair of both of them up. As the pale searchlight approached them straight, a sense of crisis surged into Chen Ling's heart again.

"Run!" The masked man dragged Chen Ling and ran wildly into the distance.

Seeing this, Chen Ling pointed at the helicopter in the air.

The next moment, the helicopter's pale searchlight exploded, and even the speed of the propeller rotation began to slow down, and the plane couldn't control its slow descent...

"B-103 signal lost, confirm 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending is at the target location."

"Why is Shen Nan with him?"

"The reason is unknown, but the order from above has been issued to wipe out the 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending. If Shen Nan obstructs repeatedly, he can be shot dead together."

"The action must be fast, that person's tracking range is limited to Shanghai. If they are allowed to leave the Shanghai area, it will be difficult to locate them again."

"Received."

After the first helicopter was forced to land, black shadows flashed across the sky one after another, rushing in the direction where Chen Ling and the other had left.

……

Shanghai.

A certain telephone booth.

A faint current sound rang in the receiver. Yang Xiao had one hand on the surface of the phone, listening intently to something.

Outside the telephone booth, Lu Xun was wearing a mask and a duck-billed cap he got from somewhere, pacing back and forth, looking at Yang Xiao in the booth from time to time, trying to see Chen Ling's situation from his expression changes.

A few minutes later, Yang Xiao hung up the phone temporarily and pushed the door out.

"How is it?" Lu Xun walked up and asked immediately.

"The good news is that he has escaped from the first wave of encirclement."

"And the bad news?"

"He is being tracked... Before he leaves the Shanghai area, people will continue to hunt him down."

Lu Xun's expression was a bit ugly.

"...It's all my fault." Lu Xun sighed long. "If I hadn't invited him to Shanghai, if it hadn't been to save me from those people... he wouldn't have fallen into such a dangerous situation."

"You can't say that, who would have thought that those people from the 749 Bureau would suddenly predict that he was some 'Ghost Mockery' World-Ending..."

Yang Xiao comforted Lu Xun. He knew that with Lu Xun's personality, he absolutely couldn't stand others falling into misery because of him. And perhaps because everyone's attention was attracted by Chen Ling, now no one cared about Lu Xun who escaped from the laboratory...

The two stood on the street of Shanghai in the middle of the night, watching the traffic drive by, a sense of confusion and powerlessness surged into their hearts.

"...No, there must be another way to help him."

Lu Xun finally couldn't help it. He took out his mobile phone from his arms, found a phone number, and walked straight into the telephone booth.

"What are you going to do?"

"Call the director of the 749 Bureau."

"Him?" Yang Xiao's first reaction was to shake his head and press Lu Xun's hand. "You forgot that you were caught by them for experiments. Now that they haven't come to find you, you still dare to contact him yourself?"

"I guess Director Sun doesn't know about my imprisonment." Lu Xun replied calmly.

"Yang Xiao, I have been working for the 749 Bureau for a long time, and I know many of their high-level officials. Director Sun is not that kind of person... The reason why I was willing to give my blood samples before was because I trusted Director Sun's character."

"...This is too risky."

"Only by taking risks now can we save Director Chen."
