"Name?"

"Wang Yan".

"age?"

"Just turned 18."

"gender?"

"Male? Seriously, officer, can't you tell?"

Inside the interrogation room, Wang Yan sat on an iron chair, his hands on the table, somewhat speechless.

"Next question: Explain why you were at the crime scene and how you discovered the body."

One of the middle-aged policemen ignored Wang Yan's teasing and continued to press him with a stern face.

Full of oppression.

If it were an ordinary high school student, they would probably be so panicked that they would be incoherent by now.

But Wang Yan did not.

After all, he had already died once three months ago.

After being hit and killed by a large object, I was transported to this world.

Having experienced something as absurd as time travel, he wasn't really scared by a simple police interrogation.

Besides, he didn't kill that person, so why is he panicking?

Wang Yan raised his head, his tone calm.

"The school is having a masquerade ball tomorrow, and I need to prepare a mask. Someone recommended that shop online, so I went there."

"After buying the mask, I wanted to get a lemonade, so I followed the lousy navigation into that alley and then I found the corpse."

The young police officer in charge of taking notes looked up.

"What exactly happened when you saw the body?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan began to recall that scene.

A dark alley.

Dilapidated walls.

A strange smell filled the air.

The musty, rotten smell was mixed with the smell of blood.

Beside the trash can, a fat corpse dressed in a cheap suit lay there quietly.

The corpse was clearly obese, but its abdomen had sunken in.

The weirdest thing is.

When Wang Yan unbuttoned his suit jacket, he found no obvious external injuries on his abdomen.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan slowly spoke.

"Male, around thirty years old, wearing a black suit, face up, and has a strong smell of blood. There are no obvious external injuries on his body, but his abdomen is abnormally sunken."

The young police officer paused abruptly, glancing at Wang Yan with surprise.

He hadn't expected that this high school student, seeing a corpse for the first time, would actually dare to go up and examine it.

The middle-aged policeman stared intently at Wang Yan and asked, "Why did you go through the body? Don't you know that disturbing a crime scene is also a crime?"

Wang Yan remained silent for two seconds.

"I thought there was still hope."

The middle-aged policeman squinted, paused for half a second, and then continued speaking.

"You're very brave."

Wang Yan smiled but didn't say anything.

Ten minutes later.

The investigation results are in.

The monitoring showed...

Wang Yan was indeed just passing by.

Furthermore, Wang Yan had no connection with the deceased, and the mask shop owner could also corroborate what Wang Yan said.

The suspicion has been completely cleared.

The middle-aged policeman closed the file.

"You can go now. Don't wander around lately, and don't go around talking about what happened today."

Wang Yan nodded and stood up.

"Thank you, officer."

After Wang Yan walked out of the police station.

The forensic doctor hurriedly pushed open the door and came to the two police officers.

"Team Leader Chen, the report is out!"

The middle-aged policeman frowned.

"explain."

The forensic doctor looked grim.

"All of the deceased's internal organs... have disappeared."

"There were no cuts, no tears, it was as if it had evaporated into thin air."

The interrogation room was deathly silent.

The young police officer seemed to realize something, and his face turned pale.

"Captain Chen, do you remember the deceased's social relationships? The file shows that he was unmarried and lived alone, but... but according to his neighbors, the deceased had a wife he had been married to for several years."

"Family members appearing out of nowhere, dying in a bizarre manner, without a single trace of murder—isn't this just like the case in the west of the city a couple of days ago... Could it be the work of a ghost?!"

Team Leader Chen rubbed his temples.

"Don't talk nonsense. There are no ghosts in this world. Continue to block the news and send people to continue investigating."

"The higher-ups have already taken notice of this matter, and a specialist will be sent down to handle the case soon."

……

The bus slowly drove through the city streets.

Wang Yan gazed out the car window, his thoughts drifting far away.

Three months ago.

He transmigrated to a world almost identical to his previous life.

He became a senior high school student at Jiangdong No. 3 High School.

Both parents are deceased.

Alone.

A standard protagonist template.

Of course, he also has the system that every protagonist needs.

【Rare Item Collection System】.

The function is very simple.

Find the strange object.

Collecting rare and unusual items.

Gain the ability to acquire rare items.

The problem is that, in those three months, apart from the day I first transmigrated, the system gave me two tasks.

[Final Mission: Collect one thousand rare items]

[Reward: Divine Power]

[New Player Quest: Collect Your First Rare Item]

[Reward: 1 chances to win a prize]

It then crashed like a computer, without giving any further warnings.

until today.

The system popped up a notification for the first time when he passed by the mask shop.

[A newly discovered Class D artifact has been detected nearby]

Coordinates have been sent.

[Item Name: Rage Mask]

Wang Yan then realized that the system's function of finding strange objects actually had a distance limit.

then.

He spent 500 to buy the mask.

And then.

That's when I encountered that strange corpse and was taken to the police station for questioning.

"We have arrived at Xingfu Community Station! Passengers, please disembark in an orderly manner!"

Upon hearing the announcement that the train had arrived at its destination, Wang Yan quickly got off the train.

After returning to the house left by the original owner's parents.

Wang Yan skillfully boils water.

Tear open the instant noodle packaging.

Three minutes later.

A simple dinner is ready.

After eating.

He closed the doors and windows.

He took the mask out of his bag.

The mask was entirely white, and its material was unknown.

It has a smooth, soft feel, like touching skin.

It's really creepy.

Just looking at it, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

His face began to unconsciously make the same expression as the mask.

This has never happened since he bought the mask.

Sensing the strangeness of the mask, Wang Yan no longer hesitated and directly activated the system.

Do you collect unusual items: the Wrath Mask?

"Yes."

next second.

The mask in his hand disappeared, and Wang Yan had a new mask in his mind that he could take out at any time.

Some information also appeared before Wang Yan's eyes.

[Successfully added to favorites]

[Collected Rare Item: The Rage Mask]

"The exploration range for strange objects is only 10 meters? No wonder this system wasn't triggered for the past three months!"

After making a remark, Wang Yan's attention was quickly drawn to the rare item upgrade coupon he had won.

"It can directly upgrade rare items below Grade A to Grade A?!"

That's a bit perverted!

Although Wang Yan currently has no concept of the classification of rare items.

However, judging from his many years of experience in writing novels and playing games...

A-grade artifacts are definitely far more powerful than D-grade ones.

Therefore, Wang Yan did not hesitate to use it on the only rare item he had.

In an instant, the mask of rage in his mind changed.

The angry face had vanished.

Instead, a bizarre mask, a mixture of dark gold and pale white, obscuring the face and bearing seven cracks on the forehead, was presented.

[Strange Object: The Seven Sins Mask]

Rating: A

"Wearing it grants power, allows you to absorb the Seven Deadly Sins to strengthen yourself, and influence others? That's incredibly twisted!"

Without thinking further, Wang Yan slowly put it on.

In an instant.

Power filled Wang Yan's entire body.

Even the world they saw had changed.

The obstruction of reinforced concrete has disappeared, replaced by countless thin lines symbolizing the seven deadly sins.

As long as Wang Yan focuses his attention on it, he will be able to know the seven deadly sins it has committed.

The arrogance of the boy upstairs: You think you can beat me with 17 cards? Pour Auntie a cappuccino!

The parent downstairs was furious: What do you mean by taking an exam? You only got 100 points in 6 subjects?

……

"Interesting, they even have the ability to gather information."

Feeling the extra information in his mind, Wang Yan was very satisfied.

If you use this ability, which isn't mentioned in the description, well, it might bring unexpected surprises.

However, compared to this minor accident, what Wang Yan cared about more was the power within him.

Wang Yan felt that he could kill a bull with one punch!

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yan grabbed the wooden chair next to him.

Squeeze it hard.

Click!

It shattered into two pieces.

"this……"

Upon seeing this, King Yan's breathing became rapid.

Simply wearing this mask has this effect.

What about the other abilities mentioned in the introduction?

He was somewhat impatient to start it.

next second.

The once calm lines of the Seven Deadly Sins surged into the mask on his face like a tidal wave.

Ten minutes later, all seven deadly sins within a 50-meter radius were absorbed.

Wang Yan collapsed to the ground.

I was drenched in sweat, my muscles ached, and I felt incredibly exhausted.

A system notification sounded.

[51 points of Original Sin have been collected]

【Strength +2】

[Speed ​​+2]

Constitution +1

The attribute bonus has been increased to 5.5 times.

Look at the prompt that appears on the panel.

Wang Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

His 51 points of original sin give him a 5-point attribute bonus.

This gave him twice the strength and speed of a normal person when he wasn't wearing the Seven Deadly Sins Mask.

But if you wear the Seven Deadly Sins Mask, then it's not just that.

Taking the strongest attribute right now, strength, as an example, after wearing the mask, it will reach a terrifying 15.4.

Fifteen times the strength of an average person.

What does that mean?

A casual punch is equivalent to a car crashing at full speed.

Wang Yan was somewhat startled by this increase.

The community he lives in now has relatively few people, so he hasn't gained many points of original sin.

If you choose to use the [Seven Sins Mask] ability in a place where a large crowd gathers.

How terrifying that would be.

At this rate of growth, won't he soon become a citizen of the motherland?

He didn't have time to be happy for long.

His stomach made a thunderous sound.

"Gurgle!"

A feeling of hunger swept over my entire body.

It was as if he hadn't eaten for seven days, and if he didn't eat soon, he would die in the next second.

Wang Yan's expression changed drastically.

I rushed to the box of instant noodles I had bought, and without even bothering to soak them in boiling water, I tore open the packaging and put them in my mouth.

After the remaining 10 packs of instant noodles were all eaten, the hunger only subsided slightly.

"I should have stocked up on more food."

Wang Yan cursed and rushed out of the room in a somewhat disheveled state.

We headed straight to the Shaxian snack shop outside the residential area.

"Boss, ten servings of duck leg rice."

Ten minutes later.

Wang Yan was still hungry after finishing his meal.

"Five more, please."

The way the boss looked at him changed.

It's like looking at a monster.

Wang Yan continued eating without expression.

Fifteen bowls of duck leg rice were eaten.

I'm finally not so hungry anymore.

But not enough.

To avoid attracting attention.

He also packed three more servings of duck leg rice.

I bought twenty steamed buns on a whim.

He ate a steamed bun as he walked home.

"The side effects of becoming stronger are too great; I'm still hungry even after eating so much."

Wang Yan spoke in a low voice and quickly walked upstairs.

I just arrived at the corner on the fourth floor.

The door to room 402 suddenly opened.

My neighbor, Brother Liu, came out carrying a bag of trash.

Seeing the exaggerated amount of food in Wang Yan's hand, he immediately burst out laughing.

"Wow, Xiao Wang, you've come back from fleeing famine?"

Wang Yan forced a smile.

"I'm a little hungry, let's buy more."

Brother Liu clicked his tongue twice.

"You're really something, kid."

"Your mom worked so hard at home preparing a whole table of dishes for you, and you still bring back so much takeout? Aren't you afraid of upsetting her?"

The air fell silent for a moment.

Wang Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"...What did you say?"
