Sequence adventurers roaming between two worlds

The sense of familiarity he felt, coupled with the astonishment in the other person's eyes when they first met and their act of saving him now, instantly confirmed to Leo:

This person was definitely someone the original owner knew.

Moreover, their relationship is unusual.

Who could it be...?

Looking at the figure's back ahead, Leo's eyes widened slightly: "No way..."

Meanwhile, ahead, the white-masked man who was defending against the attack noticed that the mask he threw had been dodged and caught by Leo, and his eyes immediately changed.

The Leo I remember couldn't have done that, unless...

Without a second thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Put on the mask; it will teleport you away."

"The church's hyenas are coming soon, you don't want to be captured by them, do you?"

Is the function of this clown mask teleportation?

Leo's heart skipped a beat.

He could indeed use the Primordial Mirror to leave now, but if his suspicions were true, leaving now would mean missing out on a lot.

Why don't you put on this mask first?

Even if there's a problem, with the Primordial Mirror as his trump card, he can find a chance to escape.

In a flash, Leo didn't hesitate any longer and put the clown mask on his face.

It's hard to describe how I feel at this moment.

It felt as if a layer of soft water was washing over my whole body.

His feet lightened, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

After Leo left, the white-masked man breathed a sigh of relief.

His gaze pierced through the cold white wall of fire in front of him, landing on several figures approaching from a distance, a cold glint in his eyes.

"I will remember this 'kindness' from the Church of the Sun, and I will surely repay it in the future..."

As the sound echoed, his body gradually disappeared.

When several members of the Church of the Sun arrived, all that remained was an empty old house with its entire front wall charred black.

"He still got away."

The man in the high-necked trench coat who was in the lead snorted coldly.

He stared at the old house in front of him, his eyes gradually narrowing: "It's this place again, once or twice, both times it happened around here."

"Could this be related to Leo, who disappeared two weeks ago?"

……

On the edge of the outer harbor district, in an abandoned hut a few kilometers away from the old house.

Leo's figure appeared out of thin air. At the same time, the clown mask on his face dimmed considerably, as if it had run out of energy, and fell off his face on its own.

Before he could catch it, the mask seemed to be pulled forward by an invisible force, and then landed in the hand of the white-masked man who had emerged from thin air.

Leo paused, his expression wary: "Who exactly are you?"

"We know each other, right?"

The white-masked man paused for a moment in response to his two questions, but instead of answering, he said, "You... have come into contact with the mystical side, haven't you?"

"If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't have been able to react in time."

Leo knew that the other person was referring to his performance when he dodged the clown mask.

"So what if I say yes? So what if I say no?"

Looking at the young man in front of him who resembled a "little hedgehog," the man in the pure white mask fell silent once more.

"call……"

After a moment, he seemed to have made some difficult decision:

"I am a friend of your father."

"I don't know which mystical organization you've been in contact with, but I must warn you to stop immediately."

"The seemingly harmless candy they offer is, most of the time, a deadly poison disguised in a sugar coating."

Leo didn't speak, he just stared at him intently.

"If you truly wish to explore the mystical realm..." the man in the pure white mask said in a deep voice, "then let me be your guide."

"How can I believe you?" Leo said calmly, "Not long ago, I almost died at the hands of a mystical organization. Luckily, I escaped."

The man in the pure white mask's eyes darkened: "I have no way to prove it."

Believe it or not.

"I can only tell you that for people like me... and people like you who are white, the best path to enter the mystical realm is the [Shadow] sequence."

"The remnants of the past are never favored by those in power."

He paused for a moment, then added, "However, being favored by the ruling party is never a good thing."

Favored by the ruling party?

Leo's mind raced, his expression turning cold and filled with the rage of being deceived: "The Thief Potion of the [Shadow Sequence]?"

"That bitch... she used this to trick me! She tried to turn me into the main ingredient for a potion!"

"Do you think I'll fall for the same trick again?"

Upon hearing this, the white-masked man's eyes dimmed further, but he said nothing. He simply took two items from his pocket and tossed them to Leo.

One was a thin book, and the other was a black crystal that Leo recognized quite well.

"This book contains the complete Shadow Sequence 9, the Thief's Potion recipe, and precautions."

"This black crystal is a transcendent material with the Shadow attribute, but there isn't enough of it. At least four more of this quality are needed to meet the requirements for potion making."

"Keep it for now, I'll keep looking."

"If you can come here once a week and find something useful, I'll come back for you."

After leaving behind his belongings and words, the man in the pure white mask turned around and walked his tall figure toward the door of the abandoned hut.

"Hey, big guy," Leo's voice rang out from behind. "We know each other, right?"

It's still the same question from the beginning.

This time, the other party also did not respond.

Only after the figure of the pure white masked man disappeared did Leo withdraw his gaze.

He had already guessed the identity of the man in the pure white mask.

Who in this world, besides family, would be willing to treat him so well and give so selflessly?

"Ha, you thought you were hiding it well...?"

Leo sighed with mixed feelings.

He never expected that his older brother, the tall, thin man who had always worked hard at the docks, would actually be a mysterious figure.

If that's the case, why was he unwilling to show it to his family, which led to the original owner being framed by Leona in his attempt to make contact with the mystical side?

He seems to be hiding something.

More doubts arose in Leo's mind, but since the other party was unwilling to speak or admit their identity, he could only "act" along with them.

If you don't even bother to "act" anymore and tear off the mask, then this connection will probably be completely severed.

Looking down at the book in his hands, and the dark fragment he had sold to the black market, which had now returned to his hands after many twists and turns, Leo shook his head with a wry smile.

"So, I've gotten another freebie?"

Compared to the notebook from Leona that Scott had, there was no doubt that the potion recipe given by his cheap older brother was more credible.

Furthermore, judging from what he just said, the Dark Shard can be used as the main ingredient for the Thief's Potion, but four more of the same quality and size are needed.

Leo looked at the manual in his hand, eager to open it and take a look.

Out of caution, he did not check immediately, but carefully left the abandoned hut and wandered around the outer harbor until he turned into a secluded alley.

——【Mirror Reflects Heaven and Earth】

In an instant, his figure disappeared from the spot.
