When the captain suddenly disappeared and returned with Marlowe, Karen noticed something was wrong.

The main reason is that Richard disappeared and returned. In the middle, Memphis, that is, Uncle Eisen said to himself: "The wrong person was arrested."

Next, the disappearance of Memphis also confirmed this point. The other party should really have caught the wrong person.

But the question is, why did the other party want to release the captain after he captured the captain?

Did the captain catch the wrong one too?

So, Captain and Richard are on the same level?

Karen believed that even Richard would not agree with this determination.

Taking a step back, the captain was not taken away, but he really discovered the pattern here and took Marlow back.

But when did the captain say so many words before giving orders to the team members?

Also explain, explain, and share concepts, just like a teacher giving a lecture to students.

What the captain prefers to do is to give the most direct orders in the most concise way with a whistle in his mouth.

You don't need to know why you are doing this, just do what I tell you to do.

When finishing up and getting ready for action,

The captain also praised the great **** of order.

This seems to be a bit of black humor with ironic effect. As a person who can't even memorize the "Order Regulations" and imparts his own experience in making up things, the captain actually started to pray to God when faced with a dangerous and weird situation?

If there are outsiders present at ordinary times, and everyone sits down to drink coffee and chat in a polite manner, it is normal for the captain to talk about such a scene, but now, it seems very contrary.

As for the last "Captain, can I take off my mask?"

On the contrary, after Karen was convinced that the captain was fake, he made a joke by the way.

so,

When the Savoy 7 pistol touched the captain's forehead, Karen didn't hesitate at all. This was to prevent that weird "disappearance" from reappearing, and he lost himself directly. For this reason, Karen didn't even Explain to Richard the real reason for his "going and returning".

"boom!"

The gun went off. .

All the teammates in front clearly saw that Karen killed their captain with a single shot.

The captain didn't dodge, a hole was opened in his forehead.

When this hole appeared, Karen felt slightly nervous. After all, the captain held a different position in the hearts of all the players, including Karen himself.

Not to mention facing a "live" captain, even throwing darts at the captain's photo will bring a kind of pressure.

Fortunately, the next moment, the captain's body began to distort, as if a black hole appeared, sucking the captain's entire body into it, and this was obviously an effect that a single Sava 7 bullet could not have.

On one side of Karen's figure, the whole person broke away from the queue, and pointed his gun at Marlowe, who was at the forefront of the queue.

In fact, Karen was not sure whether he could hit the second shot. Although he had practiced shooting for a period of time in Fanny and Xie's factory club, he still didn't have much confidence in the use of firearms. Especially in sudden situations, when you raise your hand to shoot temporarily, it is more a test of muscle memory.

The most important thing is that Marlowe is at the front of the line, and Karen is at the back of the line. There is not only a long distance between the two sides, but also a layer of white mist to cover them.

"boom!"

Karen aimed for Marlowe's head, but ended up hitting only Marlowe's shoulder.

However, Karen shot no problem. The accuracy of this shot was commendable. The main reason was that Marlowe didn't cooperate and didn't use his head to actively catch Karen's bullets.

The main reason is that after the first shot, everyone had a stress response and began to take tactical evasive actions naturally. Besides Richard, they were all experienced old players. Marlowe avoided it by this method. The key.

However, the shoulder where he was shot still ignited a black flame, which was the effect of bullet enchantment.

Then,

Marlowe began to curse:

"Fuck! What are you doing, Karen!"

Karen stared;

Um?

Marlowe for real?

At this time,

A series of black beams of light appeared on everyone, covering everyone.

The surrounding scenes were distorted, and everyone appeared in a closed space surrounded by black bricks. On the ceiling above their heads, there was a leather whip—the Whip of Order.

All the people who appeared here could only sit in their own places, their bodies were tied up, and there was a black diaphragm in front of everyone. You could see the people around you, but you couldn’t communicate through voice. , here, is as quiet as death.

Fortunately, after seeing the symbol of the Whip of Order, although everyone was extremely shocked by what they had experienced before, at least their hearts stabilized.

As members of the Whip of Order appear in the room engraved with the Whip of Order, safety must be guaranteed.

Karen knows where this place is. Although he has never been there, he has heard from Fanny and Xie that there is an interrogation room inside the Whip of Order. This interrogation room is small, but it can simulate different scenarios, which is somewhat similar to Holographic projection in order to break through the psychological defense of the interrogated.

When the two women were arguing in the room, Xie Cao scolded Fanny and said that he would tie Fanny up in the interrogation room to change the scene of a square, and then he would **** her hard!

However, Karen does not remember when he and others were "caught" in the interrogation room. The most important thing is that the interrogation room in Whip of Order just changed the surrounding scenes to enhance a certain atmosphere. In the room, it became only the surrounding walls, floor and ceiling, and I and others had crossed such a large distance before, and even took a train.

Karen pursed his lips. He instinctively sensed that the deception didn't seem to be over yet.

What you see in front of your eyes doesn't look like real reality.

Karen saw the two chairs diagonally in front of him. The captain and Memphis were sitting respectively. They looked very calm. Because they wore masks on their faces, they couldn't see their expressions clearly, and they didn't try to make any physical gestures. actions to convey information.

At this time,

A figure appeared in the center of the room. He was wearing a black robe with a sharp sword embroidered on the front of the robe. There were two black lightning bolts around the sword.

The black lightning is a common feature of the Cult of Kosmos' robes. As for the sharp sword, it should represent a specific department, but Karen doesn't know what the function of this department is.

"Please rest assured, your safety can be guaranteed, and your mission has been successful. Please sit here for another five hours. After the five hours are over, you will leave here safely to receive your mission rewards.

After you leave, someone will come to sign a non-disclosure agreement with you, and you will get some extra rewards for it.

I know, this process may be a bit boring, so, you learn from your captain and sleep here. "

Everyone turned their attention to where the captain was sitting. It seemed that the captain was really sleeping.

It's a pity that although everyone is confused now, because they can't communicate, they can only hold it in their hearts.

"Okay, goodbye."

As soon as the voice fell, the figure of the priest disappeared immediately.

Karen felt a little funny, what is going on here, isn't it a cleanup task, how did it get here?

What's even more ridiculous is that the captain is actually sleeping...

Um?

Karen suddenly noticed the captain's posture. The captain's back was leaning on the chair, and his body was slightly tilted. It stands to reason that if you sleep in this posture, it would be more appropriate to rest your hands on the armrests of the chair or hang your legs on the sides of the chair, but the captain No, his hands were stacked in front of him.

This posture seemed to give people a very awkward feeling. Karen stared subconsciously at the captain's hand, and found that the index finger of the captain's right hand was just pressing on a knuckle of his left hand.

Where is the ring?

Karen seemed to realize something, and immediately looked at Memphis who was sitting on the chair next to the captain. Memphis hadn't changed his posture since everyone entered and sat here. He should be sleeping like the captain.

Different from the captain's relaxed sleeping posture, Memphis sat upright with his hands in front of him, which fit his rigorous personality.

But Karen found that Memphis' fingertips were doing the same movements as the captain.

He knew that these two people were wearing a ring on their left fingers, and that ring was a mask.

Sleep...ring...mask?

Karen licked his lips and re-examined the surrounding environment. Five hours was almost the time of the last resettlement, so he had to wait until the next resettlement if he wanted to go out?

So where are you and others now?

Hypnotized?

But it is much more real than hypnosis, and much more delicate than dreams.

This feeling is more like forcibly integrating your spirit into a new environment, and everything makes you involuntary.

Therefore, if we say "go out", it does not mean that the restriction is lifted, leaving this gate, but the return of spiritual consciousness...

Then, I and others are still in that unreal world of consciousness!

Karen thought he had discovered the key to the problem. With this understanding, Karen felt even more strange when he looked at the sleeping state of the captain and Memphis.

If we compare this place to a cage in the conscious world, we are all isolated here, then what the captain and Memphis are doing now... escape from prison?

As the first two people who were quarantined here, as the two most powerful and knowledgeable people in the team, would they be willing to stay here forever?

No, they won't, they will definitely find a way to do something, to try something.

Trying is... a mask?

Karen felt that he would not be able to fully understand the specific relationship between these environments in a short period of time, but he didn't mind imitating the captain and uncle, after all, everyone had masks.

At this time, Karen noticed that a person on the chair beside him was making sign language gestures frantically towards him. It was his cousin Richard. Richard now has a lot of desire to talk, but his sign language should be unsurprisingly He made it up now.

Karen made a gesture of folding his hands to the side of Richard, indicating that he was going to sleep, and asked him to find others to discuss the development of sign language.

Afterwards, Karen leaned back, curled up his body as much as possible, and stretched out his hand to press down on the mask on his face.

This pair of masks is the silver mask that Fanny bought together last time, but in the ring, she still has two masks.

One is Mr. Pavaro, and the other is the silver mask left by Grandpa.

Karen guessed that this conscious world should mark the existence of everyone. Arrangements should be made for me and others from accepting the task to entering the task scene. For the controller of this conscious world, everyone's existence should be are all known and certain.

So, on this basis, if you can temporarily add an unmarked identity, is it equivalent to becoming an existence that should not exist in this conscious world?

Not subject to monitoring and restrictions, and under the premise of not doing death to attract attention, there is a certain degree of freedom.

Which mask to choose?

Karen instinctively wanted to choose Mr. Pavaro's mask, but considering that he used his grandfather's mask to enter the restricted space where Luo Ya was placed last time, it is likely that this mask of his grandfather will play a special role in some aspects. Effect.

Touching the ring with her fingertips, Karen chose Grandpa's silver mask.

When the mask was put on, Richard only felt that Karen was sitting there motionless, as if she had really fallen asleep.

As for Karen himself, he found that the environment around him had changed. The airtight environment disappeared, as did his teammates, and he was lying on a hillside.

Karen was very familiar with this hillside. When he looked up, he could see Ales Castle. In the earliest days, the whole team had been dormant and waiting here for a long time.

Karen sat up and touched the ground on both sides of her body with her hands.

Why start here?

The two teams of Anthony and Kansai drove past here and entered the old castle. When they came out, they and others also went down the hillside and found their discarded vehicles on the road.

This location seems to be the starting point of everything?

But what is the reason for the starting point?

Karen stood up, looked at the place where he was lying before, and murmured:

"In reality, all of our bodies are actually lying here?"

If you insist on choosing a place where the conscious world and the real world meet, it seems that this is the most suitable place. The sudden darkness of Ales Castle does not only mean that the castle itself is shrouded in darkness, it is more like the sight of yourself and others is blocked. shaded.

"Ah…"

Karen took a deep breath,

"So, what are you doing, testing the artifact?"

Reminiscent of what the person in the secret room said, "Your mission is completed" and "Sign a non-disclosure agreement to receive additional rewards." It is not the strange demons of Castle Castle, but was "tricked" into this place to act as a white mouse for the experiment.

What about the captain and Uncle Eisen?

They should also "wake up" here, but they shouldn't stay here forever, so where did the two of them go now?

The answer, in fact, has already come out.

In the real state of mind, you can keep as far away as possible from the ancient castle. In this state, if you don’t go in and take a look, you will feel sorry for yourself.

Karen began to walk down the hillside. While walking, he deliberately hid his figure, trying his best to use the cover of the night to make his movement unobtrusive.

He didn't go through the gate of the castle manor, but came to the wall on the west side of the castle manor. There was only a row of green plants inside the wall, and no one was seen. Karen turned over and climbed up.

When it landed, there was a slight sound, and Karen bent over and squatted, looking around vigilantly.

After confirming that no one was there, Karen stood up and prepared to walk towards the castle.

But at this moment, a person jumped out of the green plant behind Karen. After this person came out, he yelled directly.

"ah!!"

"..." Karen.

But then, as if he hadn't seen Karen at all, he came out of the green vegetation, his arms in a swimming posture, and his feet moved forward while swimming.

Muttering:

"I'm a fish swimming in the river of time, fish, fish!"

From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Karen, and he didn't know if he really couldn't see it or because he was in a state of ecstasy and had no other thoughts.

Karen thought for a while, and seemed to remember that this person seemed to be a member of the two teams who had come to his team as an exchange.

Is it that deep into the drama?

If your team didn't have the tone set by the captain from the beginning, Mr. Memphis pointed out that it was a scam, and he didn't have the captain who killed the fake with his last shot, then would everyone in his team be like this, thinking that he was on time? Swim in the long river?

Karen was very suspicious. After learning the truth, what should these people do with their mental trauma?

"Do you think it's cruel?"

A familiar voice came from the window of the castle next to Karen. Karen looked around and saw the captain standing in the room looking at him.

"Captain, can you see me?"

Neo asked back: "Why, do you think you have become invisible?"

"I almost thought it was just now."

"Hehe." Neo laughed dryly, took off the silver mask on his face, revealing a face without blood.

Karen put his hand to his face, then shook his head, he couldn't take it off.

The captain took off his mask and changed his identity, and he himself changed his identity by wearing a mask.

"I've seen you wear this mask before, and I thought the silver mask looked better, so I asked Fanny to order a batch of silver masks for all of us to use."

"Oh, um."

Neo pointed to the direction where the previous "fish" left, and said, "Did you feel sorry for him just now?"

"It doesn't count."

"It's good to get used to it. In order to study bacteria, the Wien government also injected bacteria into local people for observation in the name of free vaccinations.

Compared to those, at least our divine religion will not do so outrageously. "

"Captain, did you find anything inside?"

"I found nothing. The castle is full of psychologically suggestive designs, like a horror-themed amusement park. The useful information may not be inside, but outside."

Neo flipped out of the window and motioned for Karen to follow him.

They went around to the back of the castle~lightnovelpub.net~There is a fountain behind it, the location of this fountain is very strange, it seems to be attached to the outer wall behind the castle, so from the outside and the hillside, the line of sight is just blocked. Not here.

There is a statue in the center of the hot spring. A man is sitting on a chair, with his right fist resting on his chin, and he is meditating.

"Who is he?" Karen asked.

"Oh, I was about to ask you that question."

"ask me?"

"Because you mentioned this name in front of me not long ago, if you don't believe me, take a look at this stele."

There is a stone tablet next to the fountain, and Karen walked over to look at the words on it:

【I want to go back in time at all costs, just to go back to the day you went into the sea.

— Ranierdare. 】

"..." Karen.
