Actor Mask
Lin Nieran secretly took it out and clutched the small piece in his palm.
007 asked curiously, "[Is this Actor Mask? Host, are you going to use this Weird Object?]"
"Yes, its capabilities are just right."
Holding the familiar Weird Object, Lin Nieran glanced at the several Vest battling in the distance and muttered to himself, "Although we can't use the new cards, it shouldn't be a problem to preemptively use the future of the old cards, right?"
[Overdraft? Why overdraft? Are Actors Rules to overdraft?] 007 asked, puzzled.
Lin Nieran looked at the mask in his hand, which was only the size of a fingernail, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
This mask is Weird Object that was Actor Aberration in the Happy Residential Complex.
When it was recycled, Lin Nieran saw that it was S-Rank, so he didn't give it any Points to the system.
Later, knowing that the mask was a one-time Weird Object, he never took it out to use it.
After that, as the number of Weird Object in his space increased, he almost forgot about the mask.
Its ability is actually quite special; it can portray a person's past, future, and present moments, and truly possess the state and abilities of that time, as long as no one can see through the Actor Mask.
In other words, as long as the actor's performance is convincing enough, it can be mistaken for reality.
However, the prerequisite for using this method is that the person must have a past, a future, and a present.
Before today, Lin Nieran had no idea what this ability could do; now he does.
He can temporarily send his Vest to the future. This future could be one where he has already upgraded them to a higher level. However, they cannot go to the past, because he hasn't set up Lai'er's background yet. If Lai'er were to return to the past, it would be nothingness.
After hearing his words, 007 suddenly understood. He never expected that the Weird Object could be used in this way. Indeed, it was worthy of being the host it chose.
[Who should the host use it for? Modian is S-Rank, and so is Mo Lan. Should we use it for them? Will it reach SSS-Rank?] 007 asked excitedly.
Lin Nieran shook his head. "None of them are suitable."
They are very powerful, but the only one here who is of a high enough level and can perform area-of-effect attacks is Lai'er.
Coincidentally, the False Angel Lai'er's abilities and the Rules of the Actor Mask are somewhat similar. When the two are combined, the result is greater than the sum of its parts.
I wonder, if False Angel rises to a higher level, will they still be considered a pseudo-angel?
After his initial excitement, 007 asked with a hint of doubt, "[But host, why did you give this Weird Object to Lai'er?]"
Lin Nieran was also troubled by this.
Lai'er was still clearing away the Skeletons in the Cemetery, layer upon layer of Skeletons coming in waves, giving Lai'er no time to catch her breath.
If he wanted to deliver the Weird Object to Lai'er, with his short legs, it would probably take him several minutes to step over those Skeletons.
He couldn't contact the card because the system had disconnected, and he was still using the body he had as a child. There was no reason for him to contact Lai'er now.
He couldn't very well just openly hand Lai'er a Weird Object and let him turn the tables in front of the live stream and the Protagonist Group, could he?
That would be practically trampling on the intelligence of the Protagonist Group.
His transformation from Lin Yi to Lin Nieran definitely aroused their suspicion. If they also discover that he knows Lai'er, then he can stop hiding his true identity.
Lin Nieran frowned and pondered for several minutes, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
During this time, Wang Ding and Mi Chuchu joined forces and finally completely shattered a sculpture. The Skeletons around Lai'er were still wailing in pain, and Modian's Weaving Hammer smashed several deep pits into the ground.
And there was also Mo Lan... He harvested many black insect balls spun by the Weaving Hammer, cutting the black thread as he harvested the black thread balls.
[Could the camera be focused on the organization? I want to see their live stream!]
[What are you thinking about? The live stream camera is fixed on the Calamity Crossing Squad.]
[Day N of wanting to join the organization]
[I also want to see the organization, but right now I can only see angels and Little Cat through the cracks.]
[Are Qin Rang and Lin Yi hiding? I haven't seen them.]
[Why not hide now? Are you just asking for death?]
[Oh! I just saw Modian in the back; he's changed his identity and looks like a wizard!]
[What male witch? That weapon looks more like Weaving Hammer, or Weaving Aberration.]
[Modian's new look is so strange... but so powerful]
A strong person is captivating no matter what they look like.
Can they win? I have a bad feeling about it.
[Of course! By the way, what level is this Instance? Why are these monsters so hard to kill?]
[It must be S-Rank, otherwise why would the Calamity Crossing Squad be having such a hard time? And the organization members too, they're usually taken down in a few moves, but now, although they're not at a disadvantage, it's not as easy as it seems.]
[What exactly is that Wang trying to do? Is he an enemy or an ally...? I just don't understand.]
[I recommend you check out the organization's forum; there are lots of posts analyzing the organization's members there!]
The messages in the live stream caught the attention of the Authorities. Director Chen, looking at the comments, also sensed something was wrong. "This Instance doesn't seem to be of A-Rank difficulty. Instance mutated again?"
The subordinate shook his head blankly. "No abnormal energy fluctuations were detected in the Orphanage Instance."
"Something's not right." Director Chen frowned. None of the Calamity Crossing Squad's Instance were without their surprises. "Send a logistics team to check the situation. They can go with the Tang Family; they're also coming out of the Lily Weird Zone Instance."
"Yes!"
Director Chen's attention returned to An Ying's live broadcast room.
An Ying was leading the sculpture to Tao Yuan's side when Tao Yuan smashed it with the back of Chainsaw, breaking off half of the sculpture's body.
After landing, the two exchanged positions in perfect unison, once again creating distance between themselves and the catching-up sculpture.
At this moment, the appearance of the Flower Language stopped the two sculptures that were chasing them.
"Watch out!" An Ying turned around and saw her, immediately shouting.
Flower Language turned to An Ying and nodded slightly, while the Thorns in front of her forcefully shattered the sculpture.
But the price was that the Thorns were also petrified and broken by the dust, and Flower Language's figure was also lifted up by the Thorns and fixed in the air.
Her body gradually became transparent, and Thorns sprouted densely from the ground beneath her, extending upwards and gradually forming a vast Thorns forest around her.
With these Thorns, the sculptures' range of movement was greatly reduced, and the pressure on everyone's shoulders was instantly relieved.
Looking at the Specter Flower Language floating in the air, its lower body completely transformed into Thorns, Tao Yuan loudly expressed her gratitude.
"I have a mission to complete, no need to thank me." Flower Language lowered her eyes and looked at An Ying. "Your upper body has already been sculpted, take care of yourself and get some rest."
Thank you.
An Ying's limbs had turned a white, sculpted color, and her speed had decreased significantly.
