Chapter 376 The Magical Mask



The top floor of the Wujian Restaurant was originally a ruin. After the tremor, it was as if time had turned back. The collapsed building was restored to its original state, and the dilapidated streets became clean and tidy.

Xia Tianqiong blinked twice and suddenly found herself standing in a modern city.

At first, it was completely empty, like a dead city.

But a few seconds later, some blurry human figures appeared on the street, gradually turning from blurry to real, and finally becoming living people.

These people were either shopping, chatting and laughing, or they were in a hurry, like working people rushing to work.

At the same time, cars, trucks, and buses began to appear out of thin air.

The whole city instantly came alive.

Xia Tianqiong stood in the middle of the road, but neither pedestrians nor vehicles could see him; they could even pass right through him.

Clearly, these are just some kind of illusion, not the real environment.

Next, the flow of time suddenly accelerated, and pedestrians moved faster than cars.

Spatial rifts began to appear in the city, and a large number of strange creatures poured out, causing countless people to die tragically. However, some lucky individuals became ghost hunters and fought against the strange creatures.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people remained in the city, until finally even all the ghost hunters were wiped out.

The city became a ghost town again, and then, with the erosion of time, the roads cracked, the buildings collapsed, and it became a wasteland.

Xia Tianqiong remained standing still, without moving an inch.

Witness firsthand the process of a city transforming from prosperity to ruins, and experience firsthand the struggles of countless people before your eyes.

A slight stirring within me, before I could fully savor it, suddenly the surrounding environment changed.

In the blink of an eye, I found myself standing in an ancient city, surrounded by people dressed in ancient costumes.

Similar to before, under accelerated time, an ancient city was mysteriously invaded and turned into ruins.

Scene changes like these occur constantly.

It includes modern cities, ancient cities, and futuristic cities full of technology.

As Xia Tianqiong watched, she became engrossed in it without realizing it.

He gradually forgot who he was, as if he were one of the people in those images, personally experiencing rebirth and death again and again.

Countless people struggled to survive, countless people died screaming, and countless bizarre creatures were killed and turned into nothingness.

While Xia Tianqiong was in this strange state, Hu Qianjiuyue remained calm and seemingly unaffected.

She looked at Xia Tianqiong with great interest, then suddenly sighed, "Such good talent, it's really a bargain for that Jun Shisan guy."

She watched for a while longer, but finding it utterly boring, she tore through the space and left.

Three days later, the changes at the Wujian Restaurant suddenly disappeared, but Xia Tianqiong stood there with lifeless eyes, as if he had lost his soul.

...

At this moment, some changes are quietly taking place in the capital.

Su Chen woke up on the single bed in the shared apartment, wearing only shorts, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as I went in, I saw shampoo spilled on the sink, running everywhere.

He was immediately angry, because his roommate had used his shampoo and hadn't even closed the cap properly afterward.

He turned and shouted at the bathroom door, "You didn't even tell me you used my shampoo! You should have closed the lid properly after you finished, it's all leaking out!"

No sooner had I finished shouting than I heard an impatient voice from the opposite room, "What are you yelling about so early in the morning? It's just using your shampoo, I'll buy a bottle tomorrow, you can use it as you like."

Su Chen pursed his lips, thinking to himself that he had said this many times, but he had never seen the other party buy it.

He didn't bother to argue, and then started washing up and getting ready for work.

After washing my hair, I went to get a towel and found a mask on the towel rack.

It is pure white, like mutton fat jade, with a faint halo.

"They can't even afford to buy shampoo, they just buy useless things."

His roommate is a cosplay enthusiast who often buys all sorts of strange costumes and accessories, which doesn't surprise him.

The mask is so well-made that I couldn't resist picking it up to take a closer look.

At first glance, it is incredibly realistic, as if it were copied from a human face, with even the eyebrows and eyelashes clearly defined.

Su Chen found it amusing and casually placed the mask on his face, wanting to see what he looked like wearing it.

As soon as the mask was put on, it immediately stuck firmly to the skin and couldn't be pulled off.

Moreover, the mask slowly wriggled and transformed into his likeness.

"What the hell is this?!"

Su Chen panicked immediately. This was the apocalypse, invaded by strange creatures. Could this thing be some kind of strange creature?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, but even more so, I felt angry.

He believed that his carelessness was all because of his roommate.

If his roommate wasn't a cosplay enthusiast, he wouldn't have mistaken the mask for his roommate's, much less wear it on his face.

No, it could also be his roommate's, and the other person deliberately left it there to harm him.

Suddenly, a lot of thoughts popped into his head, and the more he thought about them, the angrier he became, his anger boiling over.

"Damn it! You've ruined my life, I'll kill you first."

Su Chen cursed and stormed into the kitchen, grabbed a cleaver, went to his roommate's room, and kicked it.

With a loud bang, the old wooden door was kicked open.

He hadn't even realized that he, so thin, possessed such great strength.

A young man in his twenties sat up abruptly in the room, staring at him in astonishment.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Su Chen rushed forward and slashed at the neck with his knife.

Still not satisfied, he mounted the young man and began wildly slashing with his knife.

Four or five minutes later, the room was filled with splattered blood, and a headless corpse lay on the bed.
