Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 422: Long Talk (Part )

Your original name was also Xia Shou?

Also called Xia Shou...

Xia Shou...

Xia Shou's mind seemed to have an echo, repeating Shangguan Yan's question several times. The amount of information contained in it was so huge that it almost made him stop thinking.

What is the relationship between Shangguan Yan and the predecessor of the same name in Death Note?
Xia Shou's eyes fell on the crying and laughing mask on the table, and all the information about this mask was quickly connected in his mind.

The predecessor of the same name in Moonburn Village, who wore a crying and laughing mask.

In the recollection of [Reaching the pinnacle in no one’s place], the nameless person also possessed that crying and laughing mask.

The people of Moonburn Village were unaware that his predecessor of the same name was called Xia Shou, but they were able to recognize Dorian Gray's pocket watch and draw a portrait of the Weeping and Laughing Mask.

However, Ximen Qing called the man who went to Yuezhuo Village Xia Shou.

But this man called Xia Shou didn't seem to think he was Xia Shou, because in the letter he sent outside the village, his final apology was:

[I'm sorry, Xia Shou, I didn't succeed.]

I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…】

Then in the recollection, the Nameless Man spoke to the Crying and Laughing Mask, calling the Crying and Laughing Mask "Xia Ge", and after the Nameless Man first put on the mask, he showed fighting power that was inconsistent with his own ability.

Xia Shou's pupils dilated slightly, and he suddenly understood the weirdness of the predecessor with the same name in Yuezhuo Village!

Why didn't he connect the latter incident with the former one?

Among all the successive holders of the Death Note, there is no predecessor with the same name, and there is no Xia Shou among the predecessors. Rather, there is someone among the predecessors who holds this crying and laughing mask, and this crying and laughing mask is Xia Shou!

If nothing unexpected happens, this crying and laughing mask can replace the wearer's personality after being put on, and have a similar effect to that of a descent of spirits. The personality that replaces the person's personality has the same name as him.

Judging from this discovery, Shangguan Yan may know the secret of the mask.

Does she feel that... there is some connection between herself and the personality in this mask?

"Is this question so difficult to answer?" Shangguan Yan asked.

Xia Shou adjusted his sitting position and pretended to be dumbfounded: "This is my original name. Is there anyone else named Xia Shou?"

"Yes, an acquaintance of mine." Shangguan Yan stared at Xia Shou and admitted it frankly.

There is absolutely no intention to cover up.

Xia Shou swallowed and became a little panicked.

He felt like he was about to be pointed at with a bayonet. Was he really going to be "told the truth" this time?
"How about this mask?"

“It’s quite artistic.”

"Would you like to try it on?" Shangguan Yan handed the mask in his hand to Xia Shou.

"No, it looks fragile." Xia Shouwan declined.

"I'll let you wear it." Shangguan Yan repeated.

Xia Shou smiled very reluctantly and reached out to take the mask.

What will happen if you put on this seal?
To be honest, if he could avoid wearing it, Xia Shou wouldn't want to wear it at all.

But this time it seems he has no choice. Can he still turn against Shangguan Yan?

Others may not know, but Shangguan Yan knows that he has some hidden cards. He would probably be forcibly held down even if he overturned the table on the spot, and his fate would be even worse.

"Minister, can I... not wear it?" Xia Shou requested sincerely, looking weak and helpless like a death row prisoner on the execution ground, begging the executioner not to chop off his head.

"I think it suits you very well." Shangguan Yan did not hand the mask to Xia Shou, but put it directly on Xia Shou's face.

The mask is on!
The moment the mask was put on, Xia Shou got goose bumps on his back, and a chill called fear attacked his skin.

The cold mask fit his face almost perfectly, and through the two eye holes, he stared straight at Shangguan Yan. It seemed... nothing happened?

A hint of disappointment flashed across Shangguan Yan's eyes, then he took the mask back and looked up at Alice who was floating behind Xia Shou.

She suddenly changed the subject, as if giving up on continuing to dwell on this sensitive topic, and instead talked about this mission.

“I have some clues about the mastermind behind this mission.

The mastermind behind this is somewhat related to the person I know who has the same name as you. He is most likely the named person, named Zhe.

It's just a hideous and ferocious one."

Xia Shou tried his best to control the changes in his expression.

Perhaps the information that cannot be obtained from the Death Record Notes can be obtained from Shangguan Yan.

For some reason, he felt that some things were slowly beginning to coincide with each other. The Death Notes, Shangguan Yan, and his ex with the same name were all related.

There seems to be a considerable overlap in their social circles.

However, Xia Shou never thought that the Zhe would actually be the named person.

What is the concept of a named person?
They are the ones who are chosen to ascend into the kingdom of God and escape from the mortal world. They are truly transcendent.

Such an existence actually sent him such a letter in Genyuanhai's dream.

A signatory actually used the term "respectfully submitted" in the letter.

"You don't have to worry too much. The real body of the named person will not appear in the world. This is a law set by God, so it can only be a projected human body, and it is not invincible.

Moreover, each named person's human body has different characteristics. According to needs, it can appear in various forms. The upper limit of abnormal level is generally level six."

"Level six...Oh, that's okay." Xia Shou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xia, I think you still don't quite understand what a level six transcendent represents.

But what you said is right this time, the level 6 of the named projection is indeed acceptable.

When it comes to aftermath, human bodies are easier to deal with than level six transcendents.

Although their human bodies are at level six, their use of supernatural powers will not cause the magic power to leak.

The essence of the escape of cursed energy is that the container is unable to contain the powerful abnormality. Of course, this situation will not occur to the named person.

Their human bodies will not lose their cursed power after death.

Therefore, if you want to deal with a named human body, you don't have to be timid, just think about how to destroy it.

However, the general control bureau will not think about eliminating human bodies unless necessary.

There is no need to provoke the Named Ones. The Named Ones are not like Gods. They still have emotions similar to humans in many cases.

The monster I just mentioned should be classified as a very aggressive type."

"Why do you think it's him?" Xia Shou asked cautiously.

"Because he has eaten the named owner of the Forest Horse and has the remains of the named owner. He is the only one who can use this kind of thing as a reward." Shangguan Yan said lightly.

Shangguan Yan was very confident when he said these words.

But in fact, she was just guessing.

After all, she didn't know those people particularly well.

The current conclusions were inferred from their past conversations with Xia Shou.

When Xia Shou was there, they were all very nice to her. Although she was always cold, they treated her very well, even the one with a very bad temper, Zhe.

But after Xia Shou died, no one showed up again.
