Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 312 The Second Mask

Although Mus had learned some basic fighting skills, they were no match for a madman like Cat's Eye who had accumulated experience through actual combat.

Moreover, Cat's Eye definitely uses a mask and has downloaded martial arts or similar skills.

What would happen to a newbie who's only been working out at the gym for a few days and then goes and provokes a veteran who's just retired from the special forces?
Without needing anyone to say more, Mus knew his own limitations very well.

He went up there just to deliver the food.

However, Mus wasn't entirely without options.

While 1208 and Cat's Eye were locked in a fierce battle, he used the moonlight to search for someone in the dark forest.

With exceptional eyesight and keen hearing.

He successfully pulled the unconscious Nata out of a pile of dead leaves.

Musk grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up in his hand: "Cat's Eye! Stop it if you don't want him to die!"

That loud shout really worked.

Seizing the opportunity, 1208, who was at a disadvantage, punched Cat's Eye in the face again.

The spikes formed from the armor sliced ​​open his right cheek.

Through the crack, you can clearly see the cat's white molars.

Not to be outdone, Cat's Eye grabbed 1208's right hand.

In a trade of injuries, a wound more than 20 centimeters long was left on 1208's right shoulder.

1208 dared not use its armor to take the hit head-on, and could only endure the blow.

The two men separated quickly after sustaining injuries.

Cat's Eyes was wary of Nata in Mus's hands.

1208 simply didn't want to fight Maoyan to the death; if they could avoid a fight, it would be best to just stall for time with words.

When he saw that the cat's eye had actually stopped, Mus was overjoyed.

It seems that Nata is indeed very important to Cat's Eye, and bringing him here as a hostage is a wise choice!

Cat Eyes gripped the knife in his backhand, staring at Mus with a gloomy expression.

The wounds on his face began to heal at a visible rate.

Although it wasn't fast, it could return to its original abnormal state in just over ten seconds.

But at least now we can't see his teeth.

Cat-Eyes' expression shifted between chilling coldness and maniacal laughter: "Do you know what you're doing?"

"Heh, this guy must be important to you, right? I'm not some kind of devil. As long as you surrender, I promise I won't do anything to him, otherwise..."

With a smirk, Mus grabbed Nata by the neck.

Can't you at least say some normal, unpretentious lines?
Ai Liang, standing in the sky, stared speechlessly at the scene below.

On one side is Cat's Eye, fighting a bloody battle alone, and on the other side is 1208, a large group wearing eerie black armor, and Mus and his group who have taken hostages.

And that's coupled with the lines Mus just said.

Even a different person might not be able to tell who the real villain is.

But then I thought about it again, and it seemed like there wasn't a single good person among those present.

1208 was also stunned by Mus's shameless behavior.

But he was a straightforward person after all, and he didn't care if the methods were a little dirty, as long as he could complete the mission.

Only Cat's Eyes acted like a lunatic, alternating between anger and maniacal laughter.

He seemed to have been driven mad with anger.

"Bastard!!!" A furious shout echoed through the forest.

But the roar did not come from Cat's Eye, but from 1209 behind Mus.

Fully armed, 1209 stared intently at Cat's Eyes with bloodshot eyes as he walked step by step to Mus's side.

"Is the effect of the Corruption Bomb... over...?"

The cat-like eyes stared at 1209 with a half-smile.

At this moment, 1209 was extremely angry.

As mentioned before, the degree of armor erosion is calculated based on the number of times it is damaged.

Each time it is activated, it will be subjected to a powerful erosion.

1209, hit by the Corruption Bomb, had its armor malfunction and needed to be restarted.

Equivalent to his erosion level, it increased significantly for no apparent reason.

For these people, the degree of erosion is like their lifeline.

It would be strange if 1209, with his volatile temper, wasn't furious at suddenly taking such a big step toward a mental breakdown.

He will probably have to spend the next six months in the lab after this mission ends.

With 1209 joining the battle, the situation instantly reversed.

One 1208 can go toe-to-toe with Maoyan, so adding another 1209 would make it a sure thing.

Moreover, he still has hostages who can distract Cat's Eye.

Three against one, the advantage is in my hands!
Mus was extremely confident.

Cat's Eyes looked at 1209, which had restarted its armor, then at 1208 on the other side, and at Nata in Musk's hand.

The gloomy expression on his face gradually faded, and a morbid, maniacal laugh began to emerge.

Mus felt a jolt in his heart as he looked at that familiar smile.

Previously, Cat's Eye always gave him an extremely awkward feeling, like a red-faced, thick-necked butcher trying to play the role of a refined scholar.

But now, looking at the sickly smile on Cat's Eyes' face.

Mus felt that the familiar cat's eye had returned.

Just then, black mist suddenly gathered on Cat's Eyes' face.

A mask, half-crying and half-laughing, covered his face.

1208 whispered, "This is a mask representing the disciples..."

But before he could finish speaking, what happened next was like a bucket of ice water being poured over 1209's head, even though he was almost blinded by anger.

Because a second mask, which could never have appeared, appeared in Cat's Eye's hand.

Moreover, this mask represents the crying face of the Thousand-Faced Man.

1208 and 1209 were immediately horrified.

Cat Eyes raised his hand to put it on his face.

Even if Cat's Eye is a mask, using two masks at the same time is extremely dangerous.

This is not a simple matter of one plus one equals two; if you are not careful, you will be completely corrupted by the mask and nothing will be left.

However, conversely, if Maoyan successfully survives...

His fighting power has more than doubled.

As soon as the crying face mask appeared, 1208 and 1209 didn't hesitate and rushed towards the cat's eye.

But they were still a step too late.

Two muffled thuds.

1208 and 1209 were both sent flying backwards.

As the saying goes, one second is heaven, the next is hell.

Musk, who was carrying Nata, swallowed hard.

Cat's Eye, not far away, was completely shrouded in black mist.

It looks like the protagonist has gone mad and gone into overdrive.

"Heh...hehe...uh hahahaha!!!"

Cat Eyes covered his face and burst into loud laughter.

"Finally, that annoying voice can go away!"

Cat Eyes stroked the mask on his face: "It seems that taking this risk was worthwhile. How should I thank you, my old friend?"

Looking into that frenzied gaze, I recalled the scene when I confronted Cat's Eye.

The past figure and the present cat's eye have finally completely merged together.

The person in front of him was the Cat's Eye he knew!
1209 stared at the cat's eyes shrouded in black mist and gritted his teeth, saying, "A masked man should only have one mask! Where did he get a second one?!"

"And the second mask is...the mask of a thousand faces...just who is he?"

1208 followed behind 1209 and questioned Mus.

Mus was also innocent; he had only just entered this bizarre world and had only just heard the word "mask."

Who knows what masks are?

However, Mus was not a stupid person, and he recalled the basic science he had learned from Ai Liang.

He had a bold guess.
