Chapter 556 Pilgrimage

The 'accidentally formed' palm mask is larger than a regular palm, just like an adult's palm covering a child's face. It completely covers William's forehead, eyes and nose, leaving only his mouth outside.

When the mask of this palm structure is fully formed on William's face,

Even Lord Karimus, the black tree man who controlled the settlement, was sweating thickly from the tree trunks. He instinctively leaned back. If his legs and feet had not turned into deep roots, he would probably have retreated. A few steps.

“Why are there masks of such a shape? All the masks of people who condense their faces should be of the same shape, only the strips that make up the masks are different.

Moreover, the abyss strips formed by this guy are actually so thin, they are even thinner than the strands I condensed back then, and the number is several times greater, and there is also an indescribable feeling, as if this There is something in Zhang Mask that dominates.

Obviously the only limit is open source, why can it reach this point? "

As Lord Karimus continued to stare at the young man, he even slowly saw some unrealistic pictures.

 First I saw a pale arm resting on the young man’s shoulder,

I saw a head with a weird smile rolling down on the young man’s side again.

Following this, more and more phantoms of the dead stuck to the young man’s back, and the final stacked up scene was even taller than his giant tree body.

 But in a blink of an eye, these images disappeared again.

The young man who had finished condensing his face at the foot of the tree did not move at all. He seemed to be quietly feeling the process, and he seemed to be suppressing the murderous intentions and thoughts that were growing crazily in his body, or he was making peace with himself.

He remained seated for three days and three nights, during which time no one dared to approach him.

On the fourth day, William, who was sitting cross-legged, finally made some movement, moved his body and slowly assumed a standing posture.

Hold the back of your cervical spine with one hand and rotate your head in a full circle... the sound of cracking cervical vertebrae echoed in the square area.

“Ah, it’s really... great! This is the essence of the Abyss Condensation Mask. It uses the virus to replicate the body’s optimal genes and show the truest and best side of the individual in the form of a mask.

Facing the abyss in this state is enough to show sincerity.

 You say so, William. "

“Yichen, is this your purpose? Influence the face-condensation process in the form of memory implantation, so that your consciousness can be attached to the mask and exist at the same time as me.”

“It is undeniable that this is indeed one of my purposes... However, William, you have to admit that this is definitely the most perfect and most suitable mask for us.

  Only when we and I coexist can the maximum potential of this body be brought out.

  Don’t worry, I’m not the brat I used to be. I can still achieve the most basic self-control. I will help you honestly to complete the next important things and complete the path that you think about day and night. "

　　“It’s better that way.”

 “Let’s quickly start the next step~experience the so-called [Pilgrimage].”

 The above exchange looks like a conversation between two people.

 Actually, from the perspective of a bystander, William is talking to himself alone.

This kind of self-formed dialogue also exudes a more specific social phobia. No one dares to come forward for fear of being suddenly spoken to.

Wearing an abyss mask, William took the initiative to walk towards the black tree man. The latter slowly stabilized his body, calmed down and asked as a gatekeeper:

“You have completed the face-condensing process and can start the pilgrimage according to the rules... However, it is recommended that you rest in the settlement for a day. People who have the face-condensing experience can enjoy the highest-level services of the settlement for free for a day.”

“(Yi) Oh? Is there such a service that can provide me with some beautiful-looking women with copy mutations in their lower bodies, preferably with copied legs and feet?

 If you have any, please help me call a few more, and then set up a school scene. It would be best if you can wear school uniforms!

 (William) We are here to do business, don’t waste time! After three days of condensing, I have rested enough. I quickly set out on the road of pilgrimage and faced the abyss.

  (Yi) Oh, that’s right! As long as we can establish contact with the abyss, or even completely control the abyss, we can play however we want at that time, and we can directly perform directional lesions according to my XP.

Ok, then please ask Lord Karimus to start a pilgrimage to the abyss. "

Looking at the mentally ill boy in front of him, the **** tree actually felt a little bit of fear, and social phobia actually grew in the veins of his trunk.

Facing the young man’s request to embark on a pilgrimage, he said nothing more.

As the bottom of the tree trunk slowly cracked, a path stretching downward to the bottom of the deep roots was revealed.

Just when the body controlled by Yi Chen couldn't wait to step into it, William suddenly took over the control with strong willpower and stopped at the root of the road.

 Looking up at the top of the big tree,

“Lord Karimus, are there any relevant precautions or conditions regarding the pilgrimage?”

After William said this, the gatekeeper realized that he had forgotten to explain the matters related to the pilgrimage. This was one of his main responsibilities as the gatekeeper.

“Ahem! Yes, the pilgrimage is a necessary process for meeting the abyss.

The so-called "Pilgrimage Road" is an absolutely dark road with no concept of direction. Only those who are pious enough to move forward in a pilgrim manner can walk unswervingly in the right direction.

Even if there is a trace of distracting thoughts, the direction will be deflected and the abyss will never be reached.

During the pilgrimage, the mask will continue to grow. If the mask completely covers the head and still fails to reach the edge of the abyss, the pilgrimage will be considered a failure.

Thus you will stay here forever and become a slave of the abyss. "

"Is it pious enough? It's a very broad condition... OK, I understand."

 “Then I wish you good luck.”

 Lord Karimus's attitude has improved a lot at this moment, and he has even forgotten the disrespectful words the young man had before.

William stretched out his hand to hold the opening of the tree root. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that he could crush the Lord's tree root with his bare hands while concentrating on his face. He could even collide head-on with the Lord who had completed his journey.

 When William had this idea, Lord Karimus also felt a chill in his crotch.

 The lower part of the trunk was decisively reinforced, and several spikes rose up from the soil, hovering around it.

"See you later, my lord...don't worry, I haven't lost control yet."

William reached out and patted the root of the tree gently, then jumped into it.

Under the trunk of the tree is a slideway woven through ancient roots. The length is beyond William's imagination. The only thing that is certain is that the concentration of the abyss continues to increase in the process, and it is getting closer and closer to the tenth abyss.

 While gliding, the two consciousnesses communicated again.

 “William, leave the rest of the tour to me.”

"Why?"

"Because I am more pious than you in this regard. I had certain beliefs during my lifetime, although these beliefs did not have much effect."

 “Is it another memory that I haven’t inherited?”

“No, no, no, it’s just a matter of cultural influence. The place where I live has related concepts such as pilgrimage and pilgrimage...and William, you seem to have never believed in these things. The only thing you believe in is yourself.

 Just leave it to me, I won’t make fun of my own future.

 Watch what I do. I'm not just good at killing people. I'm also very good at these so-called "piety" things. "

"OK."

William did not deny Yi Chen's words. Indeed, he did not believe in any gods. He had always only believed in himself.

At this moment, he voluntarily gave up control of his body, and Yi Chen took full control of his body through the abyss mask.

 Ten minutes passed, and I finally slipped out of the tree root passage.

Unlike the black and white picture in the settlement where there is black candle lighting, there is only endless darkness below, but it is nothing to Yi Chen who is used to small dark rooms.

 The release of any light without the use of small grapes for illumination is impious.

Yi Chen, who had always been crazy and irritable, calmed down in the darkness, taking off all his clothes and leaving only his mask.

 The chin is retracted, the tongue and gums are intertwined, the chest, top and back are held in the mouth, the mind is low and the Qi is lowered.

Stand still on both feet, bend down and kneel down, fold your palms together, and hold your hands in front of you.

A Taoist etiquette learned during his lifetime - [Three Bows and Nine Kowtows] was performed in the darkness with an extremely standard procedure.

but,

Yi Chen is performing a personal enhanced version. Every time he knocks on the capital, he will smash his face deeply into the ground.

 At the end of nine kowtows, the entire facial bones were shattered, and the palm used to rest the forehead was smashed to pieces.

 After completing one round of prostrations, Yi Chen slowly stood up, stepped into the groove formed by the prostrations, and entered into the second round of prostrations.

 Such movement seemed extremely slow, and it even moved less than 30 meters in an hour.

 But...the aura of the abyss below became stronger as Yi Chen kowtowed.
