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

The main reason is Richard's disappearance and return. In the middle, Memphis, that is, Uncle Eisen, said to himself, "The wrong person has been arrested."

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

But the question is, why did the other party capture the captain and put the captain back?

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 finding.

Taking a step back, the captain was not captured, but he really discovered the law here and took Marlow back.

But when did the captain say so much before giving orders to the players?

Also explain, illustrate, and share concepts like a teacher is lecturing a student.

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

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

When you are ready to act at the end,

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

This seems a bit dark and humorous with ironic effect. As a person who can't even memorize the "Ordinance of Order" and imparts his own experience of messing up, when faced with a dangerous and strange situation, the captain actually began to pray to God?

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

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

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

so,

When the Sava 7 pistol touched the captain's eyebrow, Karen didn't hesitate at all. This was to prevent that kind of weird "disappearance" from reappearing, and he lost himself directly. For this reason, Karen did not Explain to Richard the real reason why he "goes and returns".

"boom!"

The gun went off. .

All teammates in front clearly saw that Karen shot their captain down.

The captain did not dodge, and a hole was opened in his forehead.

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

Not to mention facing a "living" 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 twist, as if a black hole appeared, sucking the captain's whole person 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 the gun was aimed at Marlow who was at the forefront of the team.

In fact, Karen is not sure whether he can hit the next second shot. Although he has practiced shooting for a period of time in the factory club of Fanny and Xiong, he still does not have great confidence in the use of firearms. Especially in emergencies, you can shoot by raising your hand temporarily, which is more of a test of muscle memory.

The most important thing is that Marlowe is at the front of the team, and Karen is at the back of the team. Not only is there a long distance between the two sides, but there is also a layer of white fog covering them.

"boom!"

Karen aimed at Marlowe in the head, but ended up hitting Marlowe in the shoulder.

However, Cullen played no problem, and the accuracy of this shot was admirable, mainly due to Marlowe's lack of cooperation, and he didn't use his head to take the initiative to take Cullen's bullets.

Mainly after the first shot, everyone reacted with stress and began to perform tactical evasive actions naturally. Besides Richard, all those present were experienced veterans. This is how Marlowe escaped. key.

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

Then,

Marlowe began to curse:

"Go! What are you doing, Karen!"

Karen's eyes narrowed;

Um?

Marlowe is real?

At this time,

A black beam of light appeared on everyone, shrouding everyone.

The surrounding scene was distorted, and everyone appeared in a closed space surrounded by black bricks. Above the ceiling, a leather whip was carved—the whip of order.

Everyone who appears here can only sit in their own positions, their bodies are bound, and there is a black diaphragm in front of everyone, you can see the people around you, but you can't communicate through voice , Here, it 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 is definitely guaranteed.

Karen knows where this place is. Although he has never been there, he heard Fanny and Xiong say that there is an interrogation room inside the Whip of Order. This interrogation room is very small, but it can simulate different scenes, which is a bit similar to Holographic projection in order to break through the psychological defense line of the person being interrogated.

When the two women were arguing in the room, Xiong scolded Fanny and said that she was going to tie Fanny in the interrogation room and change it to a square, and then she would ravage her hard!

However, Karen can't remember when she and others were "caught" into the interrogation room. The most important thing is that the interrogation room of the Whip of Order just changed the surrounding scene to set off a certain atmosphere. In fact, people are still standing in such a big In the room, it became only the surrounding walls, floor and ceiling, and he and others had traversed such a large distance before, and even took a train.

Karen pursed her lips, and he instinctively sensed that the deception didn't seem to end.

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

Karen saw two chairs leaning forward, sitting on Captain and Memphis. They looked very calm, because they were wearing masks, so they couldn't see their expressions, and they didn't try to make any limbs. 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 in front of the robe, and there were two black lightning bolts around the sword.

Black lightning is a common feature of the robes of the God of Order. 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 collect 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 this.

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

Everyone's eyes turned to the position 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 keep it in their hearts.

"Okay, bye."

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

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

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

Um?

Karen suddenly noticed the captain's posture. The captain was leaning back on the chair, and his body was slightly crooked. It is reasonable to say that if you sleep in this position, it would be more appropriate to put your hands on the arm of the chair or put your hem on the sides of the chair, but the captain's body is slightly crooked. No, his hands were folded in front of him.

This posture seems to give people a very awkward feeling. Karen stared at the captain's hand subconsciously, and found that a forefinger of the captain's right hand was 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 had not changed his posture since the crowd entered and sat here. He should also be sleeping like the captain.

Unlike the captain's casual sleeping position, Memphis sat upright with his hands in front of him, which was in line with his rigorous personality.

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

He knew that the two men wore a ring on the fingers of their left hands, and that ring was a mask.

Sleeping...rings...masks?

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

So where are you and the 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 involuntarily.

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

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

Karen thought that she had discovered the crux of the problem. With this knowledge, Karen felt even more strange when he looked at the sleeping state of the captain and Memphis.

If you compare this place to a cage in the world of consciousness, where we are all isolated, then what the two of them, Captain and Memphis, are doing now... escape?

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

No, they won't, they'll definitely find a way to do something, to take a few tries.

To try is... a mask?

Karen felt that in a short period of time, he could not completely figure out the specific relationship between these environments, but he didn't mind imitating the captain and uncle. After all, everyone has a mask.

At this time, Karen noticed that a person on the chair beside him was doing crazy sign language gestures to him. It was his cousin Richard. Richard now has a lot of desire to talk, but his sign language should not be surprising. He is making it up now.

Karen made a gesture to Richard with his hands folded to the side of his face, indicating that he was going to sleep, and asked him to find someone else to discuss the development of sign language.

Afterwards, Karen leaned back, curled her body as much as she could, and reached down and pressed the mask on her face.

This mask is the silver mask that Fanny purchased 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 world of consciousness should mark the existence of everyone. From accepting the task to entering the task scene, everyone should have been arranged. Everyone's existence should be for the controller of this world of consciousness. are known and established.

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

Not subject to monitoring or restrictions, and has a certain degree of freedom under the premise of not being deadly to attract attention.

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 forbidden space where Loya was placed last time, grandpa's mask is likely to play a special role in some aspects. Effect.

Fingertips, touching the ring, Karen chose Grandpa's silver mask.

When the mask was on, Richard just felt that Karen was sitting there motionless, as if she was really asleep.

Karen himself found that his surroundings had changed, the airtight environment was gone, his teammates were gone, and he was lying on a hillside.

Karen is very familiar with this hillside. When he looks up and looks forward, he can see the ancient castle of Ales. At the earliest, the entire team hibernated and waited here for a long time.

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

Why start here?

The two teams of Anthony and Kansai drove past here and entered the ancient castle. When they came out, they and others also went down the hillside and found their abandoned 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 where she was lying before, and murmured:

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

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

"Ah…"

Karen took a deep breath,

"So, what are you doing, testing artifacts?"

Thinking 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 very likely that the mission of this team and the other two teams this time is not about cleaning up Alai. The alien demon of Skull Castle, but was "tricked" into here to act as a white mouse for the experiment.

What about 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 come out.

In the real state of mind, you can keep as far away as you can. In this state, if you don't go in and see, you will feel sorry for yourself.

Karen began to walk down the hillside. When he was walking, he deliberately hid his figure, using the cover of night as much as possible 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 there was no figure in sight. Karen turned over and climbed directly.

When they landed, there was a little noise, and Karen bent down and squatted, looking around vigilantly.

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

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

"what!!"

"…" Karen.

But then, as if he didn't see Karen at all, he came out of the greenery with his arms in a swimming posture, walking forward with his feet as he swam.

Mouth muttering:

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

From beginning to 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 long been distracted.

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

Is it so deep into the play?

If my team didn't have the tone set by the captain from the beginning, if Mr. Memphis didn't point out that this was a hoax, and if he didn't have a fake captain who broke his last shot, would everyone in my team be like this, thinking that they are on time Swimming in the river?

Karen is very skeptical. After learning the truth, what should be done about the mental trauma of these people?

"Does it feel cruel?"

A familiar voice came from the window of the castle beside Karen. Karen followed the sound and saw the Captain... who was standing in the room looking at him.

"Captain, can you see me?"

Neo asked back: "Why, do you think you are already invisible?"

"I almost thought that was the case just now."

"Haha." Neo laughed dryly and took off the silver mask on his face, revealing a bloodless face.

Karen put her hand on her face and shook her head, he couldn't take it off.

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

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

"Oh, um."

Neo pointed to the direction in which the "fish" left earlier, 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, our religion at least won't be so outrageous. "

"Captain, did you find anything inside?"

"Nothing was found. The castle is full of psychological suggestions, like a horror-themed amusement park. Useful information may not be inside, but outside."

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

They went around to the back of the castle, UU reading www. There is a fountain behind uukanshu.com. The location of this fountain is very strange. It seems to be close to the outer wall behind the castle, so from the outside and on the hillside, the line of sight is blocked and cannot be seen here.

There is a statue in the center of the hot spring. A man is sitting on a chair, his right fist is against his chin, and he is in a contemplative state.

"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 stone tablet."

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

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

- Raniedal. 】

"…" Karen.
