Disguise

The two Bronze Horse Weird bound by a water chain after their appearance, unable to move, and completely lost their previous arrogance.

But none of them dared to make a move; the pressure from these two men was far greater than that from the two horses.

Just by looking up and meeting his eyes for a moment, one could feel a chilling sense of crisis emanating from him.

"Get rid of it."

The green-eyed figure let out a strange laugh from its throat, "Understood, Master."

Master?

Could this be the person in charge of their organization?

Qin Rang and the others were horrified, but no matter how hard they tried to see the face in the thick fog, it was to no avail.

The water chain suddenly tightened, and the two eerie Bronze Horses roared, their bodies exploding like balloons inflated by water.

Water splashed everywhere, and the churning water carried away two eerie Bronze Horse Statues. The figures of the two people in the mist also disappeared as the Bronze Horses vanished.

Almost immediately after catching her breath, Wen Keke Wristband, and the Teleportation Array lit up for a few seconds, taking all her people away.

"Hey!" Mi Chuchu turned and was about to chase after her.

"Don't chase after them." Qin Rang grabbed Mi Chuchu, utterly exhausted. "Let's rest first; we're not in good shape."

"Oh."

An Ying silently laid out two floor mats, and Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu collapsed onto them with a thud, exhausted.

"Was that someone from the organization just now?" An Ying looked at Qin Rang.

"It's very likely that those two... have a certain familiarity about them." Qin Rang asked An Ying, "Who do you think the one with the green eyes is?"

"You mean Moonlit Night?" An Ying frowned and shook her head. "It's similar, but not quite."

"I don't think so either. The person next to him is probably the person behind their organization," Qin Rang said.

"Actually, I just used my glasses, but all I saw was a face without features." Wang Ding took off his glasses and wiped them. They all knew the power of his glasses to Weird Objects, and their expressions became even more serious. "I couldn't see the green-eyed face either. The mist around them seemed different from the mist at night; it had an effect that blocked detection."

"To be able to control so many people and the supernatural, the person behind this must be extraordinary," Sheng Qingqiao reassured her. "We're just Vanguard Team, don't overthink it."

"But why did they save us?" An Ying asked.

All these questions, of course, remain unanswered by anyone, and no one will provide them with any answers.

[The five-minute Disguise Time has ended; Item have been destroyed.]

The Item shattered, and the tall figure of Lin Nieran reverted to his original appearance. He patted the smiling Moonlit Night and said, "Well done."

Moonlit Night's emerald green eyes held a faint smile, "As long Master is happy."

Looking at the two Statues in his hands, Lin Nieran quite satisfied. "It's really good to follow the main characters; there's no need to worry about high-level and easy-to-solve monsters."

Lin Nieran received the system alert half an hour ago. At that time, he had just met up with Moonlit Night and they were discussing which monsters to kill to earn Points quickly.

The high-level monsters they encountered along the way all required entering Instance, and the situation Instance was unknown. Lin Nieran was worried that time was running out, as the system shop only had one day left. They had to find monsters they could kill directly to obtain the Weird Object, otherwise they would easily miss the deadline.

Then I was startled by the system's urgent warning.

[Warning! The Protagonist Group have encountered Class A High-Risk Weird! They have encountered a human Villain Organization!]

[Alert! The Protagonist Group have been detected to have strayed into a high-level Weird Zone!]

[Warning! The Protagonist Group and the Villain Organization are facing a deadly crisis!]

[Please correct the error immediately!]

The three alarms from 007 left Lin Nieran feeling helpless, and he also realized who the person on the map was later.

What a coincidence that these guys are here too?

007 was frantic, pacing around in circles. [Host, hurry and save them!! The Protagonist Group and the villains are going to die together!]

"What's the rush? Can't they kill a Class A Weird?"

Despite saying this, Lin Nieran still had Flower Language drag him with Thorns, and he and Moonlit Night slowly walked towards the place where the system was flashing red.

[According to the plan, they wouldn't encounter and resolve the Class A Weird until a year later, but now it's happened a whole year earlier!]

The Villain Organization, which was originally recuperating, has now been exposed prematurely.

"They had so many Weird Object and couldn't even kill a single A-Rank? You're underestimating them too much." Lin Nieran yawned. "Don't spoil the kid too much."

"As for the villains, there's no need to worry about them. Even the protagonist can't kill them, so the supernatural can't kill them either."

"What kind of strange thing did they encounter? Send me the information."

007 quickly sent the information to him, but Lin Nieran glanced at it and his expression relaxed even more.

"This thing is no match for them."

007 urgently said, "[Host, if they die, your world will perish with them.]"

"I know, you said before that I don't have dementia."

[...]

The system fell silent, and Lin Nieran's attitude was incredibly casual, completely ignoring the dramatic events unfolding over there.

Seeing its host like this, even 007's data brain felt somewhat "powerless".

Why do I feel like I'm making a fuss over nothing?

When the group actually managed to kill the Class A Weird, the system was still a bit confused. It honestly reported the results to its host, Lin Nieran was not surprised at all.

A Weird Object with no mandatory death Rules, susceptible to both physical and mental attacks, even if it's A-Rank, cannot kill the Protagonist Group with their numerous cheat abilities.

[But another strange thing is coming. Both of these strange things are Bronze Horses, which may be the type of strange things the host needs.] 007 was no longer in a hurry and reported slowly.

Lin Nieran perked up instantly. "Oh? That's great! Let's hurry!"

They definitely can't handle two Bronze Horses, so isn't this his chance to make a move?

As long as he has the opportunity to kill the strange creature, he can obtain high-level Weird Object and Points.

How could he forget that no one is more captivating than the Protagonist Group! Following them guarantees Points, so why bother searching aimlessly?

However, being with them also carries risks; you could easily get dragged into Instance by these unlucky guys, so you need to keep your distance from them.

So, just as Lin Nieran about to reach the location set by the watch, he told Flower Language to stay away, and he used the Item: Disguise Time.

[Disguise Time: Now it's puzzle time! Can you guess who I am within five minutes?]

This is one of the Items obtained from gacha pulls. There are three of them, and they can be used consecutively. After use, you can create any shape that no Weird Object can see through, but the effect only lasts for five minutes, so you must finish the battle quickly.

The thick fog perfectly concealed his figure. To maintain his perfect identity and avoid being exposed, Lin Nieran also used a "Fog" Weather Card to gather the fog to where he wanted it.

He didn't want to be in the spotlight, but the Master behind the organization wouldn't remain hidden forever.

He also wanted to see if he could gain Fame by disguising his identity without using cards.

Unfortunately, the only way he gained Fame from the Persona System was through the Moonlit Night card, so that path was blocked. He could only gain Fame through card impersonation.
