Sparkle: I'll Give You the Mask!

"Hehehe~ Maybe I've already figured out the trick, little white hair~ Next time I'll blindfold you, then you definitely won't be able to see through me."

"I'll remember that. You'll be the one blindfolding me next time."

Lin Shuang looked at Hanabi, who was leaning close to her and almost Sparkle.

All I could think about was tying this person up and punishing them severely!

Unfortunately, aside from in Dreamscape, I have never met Sparkle in real life.

It seems this person knows that if they meet in real life, they'll most likely be caught.

"Hmm-- Little White Hair went on a trip to the Xianzhou and has become less interesting. Hehe, would you like to use Master Sparkle's specially made decompression button to get back to his old self~"

Sparkle happily pulled a new Sparkle Button from her chest.

"Speaking of buttons, you actually made a special trip all the way from here to Luofu, and where did you get that information from?"

Lin Shuang reached out and took the exquisitely crafted button, then asked a couple of questions with great interest.

Sparkle traveled from Penacony to Luofu just to deliver something as trivial as a button.

That's something Masked Fools and his ilk would do.

The question is how Sparkle learned about Luofu and found Danshu in such a short time.

And ensure that the other party will meet them and bring the button into the Ancient Sea.

Even the Masked Fools shouldn't have such a precise intelligence network.

Luofu is not an undefended place.

"Hehe, does Little White Hair want to know?"

As if on purpose, Sparkle tiptoed and tried to breathe into Lin Shuang's ear.

Unfortunately, Lin Shuang tilted her head to avoid Sparkle's movement.

Then, ignoring the Sparkle, he walked straight toward the street.

"I'm not really interested in knowing."

"How tsundere~ You clearly really want to know, hehe, if you're willing to beg me, I'll give you this secret for free~"

Without saying a word, Sparkle followed, skipping and hopping with her hands behind her back.

Her twin ponytails swung back and forth behind her, and the flowing skirt always fluttered at a subtle angle in the wind, trying to attract Lin Shuang's attention.

Anyone who didn't know her would think she was some cute and lively young girl.

Lin Shuang glanced at her.

"You mean, there's a secret that isn't free?"

"Yeah, yeah~ Hehe, about that Security Officer's big secret! Want to know? Want to know? You must really want to know, right~"

With her hands behind her back and her back bent, Sparkle grinned and moved her face into Lin Shuang's field of vision.

Then, she nimbly twisted her waist, circling around Lin Shuang to make her presence known.

Lin Shuang just couldn't understand why such a cute little face looked so punchable.

This person, dressed in red, was circling around me.

The flowing skirt and long sleeves made her stand out like a fluttering bird.

So Lin Shuang reached out and scooped up the Sparkle, hoisting it onto her shoulder.

"Oh dear~ Little White Hair finally couldn't resist unleashing his beastly nature~"

She didn't care at all even if the Sparkle were hanging on Lin Shuang's shoulder.

She even reached out and hooked her arm around Lin Shuang's neck, resting her head on her shoulder and saying sweetly:

"Hehe, it's okay~ As long as you play with me, Little White Hair, I'll give you a discount~"

Sparkle made a 'you got a great deal' expression and urged Lin Shuang to agree to her conditions.

"This is a limited-time super discount! I've been so bored lately. None of the other guys are enthusiastic about performing on stage. In Penacony, only you, Little White Hair, can keep me company."

Sparkle let out a long sigh in Lin Shuang's ear.

The humid, hot air made Lin Shuang's ears feel tingly and numb.

But she still understood Sparkle's complaint.

"That's your own fault, who told you to come so early? Anyway, don't ask me to keep you company."

Lin Shuang glanced left and right, continuing to search for Gallagher's figure along the predetermined route.

Chapter 287 Sparkle: Here, take the mask!

Sparkle seem to have no concept of giving up.

He had no intention of leaving Lin Shuang's side.

As she herself said, the actors weren't in place yet, so this Penacony wasn't very interesting.

I can only come to Lin Shuang to play.

"Aren't you really going to consider them at all?"

Sparkle hung around Lin Shuang's neck, and she whispered in her ear in her still beautiful voice.

Her petite figure would occasionally press against Lin Shuang's body as she moved around.

Sparkle's clothes weren't thick, which made the texture quite noticeable.

Unfortunately, just thinking about Sparkle's personality makes Lin Shuang's fists hard.

"That shot on the Xianzhou, wasn't it perfectly timed!"

"However, actually, it doesn't really matter whether the button you provided is there or not."

Lin Shuang didn't hold back in criticizing the Sparkle display on Luofu.

It's not that it had no effect, but rather that even if it didn't, the problem wasn't that serious.

Sparkle's actions in Luofu were purely for killing time.

Especially after hearing Lin Shuang's words, Sparkle whispered a clear, sweet laugh in her ear.

This further confirmed Lin Shuang's suspicion that the purpose of the Sparkle was merely for a little fun.

It's obvious that Sparkle is really bored right now.

They went to great lengths just to play a trick on the Lord Ravager and Lin Shuang and the others.

Lin Shuang also enjoys watching entertainment and gossiping.

But I only glance at them when I happen to be there.

Obviously, it's still a far cry from the style of Sparkle, where people go to such lengths just to have some fun.

"Oh, so you're the kind of person who says one thing and means another? You clearly played a trick on the Lord Ravager, yet you stubbornly insist it was useless."

Lin Shuang didn't want to pay her any attention.

As my gaze swept across the sidewalk, I suddenly noticed a tall man.

It was none other than Gallagher Lin Shuang was searching for.

At this moment, Gallagher seemed to be giving instructions to the two members of the Hound Family.

Perhaps sensing Lin Shuang's gaze, Gallagher, holding the soda can, turned his head to look over.

It was easy to spot the striking pair of Lin Shuang and Sparkle in the crowd.

Moreover, Gallagher's gaze lingered on Sparkle for a full second.

Lin Shuang, however, thought that Gallagher was more interested in the very conspicuous Fox Mask on Sparkle's head.

Sparkle's eyes darted around twice.

Then, in a regretful tone, he whispered in Lin Shuang's ear, feigning intimacy:

"Ugh, how boring, how did you find me so quickly~"

As she spoke, Sparkle raised her hand, took off the mask from her head, and then, with a snap, put it on Lin Shuang's head.

Then, with a flick of his wrists, he slid off Lin Shuang with a whoosh.

Before landing, Sparkle glanced at Gallagher, who was walking towards them.

Before Lin Shuang could react...

Then they saw Sparkle's small body hide behind Lin Shuang and disappear.

Lin Shuang had just raised her hand to remove Sparkle's mask when she noticed Sparkle's disappearance.

Although as long as it's not a skill like spatial teleportation, Lin Shuang can bring the person back.

But to be honest, now that they've found Gallagher, they can't wait for Sparkle to leave.

Otherwise, who knows what this person might do?

But why did Sparkle leave me a mask?

Lin Shuang looked at the exquisite red and white mask in her hand, tested its feel; it was sturdy yet very light.

Speaking of which...

The mask of the Masked Fools seems to contain power itself.

I remember in the game's storyline, Sampo said that something bad was going to happen to Belobog, so he wanted to get his mask back, or something like that.

The Sparkle that Hanabi gave herself was probably just an ordinary mask.

It shouldn't be a mask containing the power of the Masked Fools, right?

Lin Shuang looked at the mask in her hand and hesitated for a moment.

Well, how should I put it?

A normal person would never casually throw their strength to someone else like that.

But the Masked Fools and their ilk might actually be capable of doing such a despicable thing.

Maybe Sparkle did it on purpose just to see me struggling with this.

However, Lin Shuang quickly put down her mask, because Gallagher had already come to her.

"Hello, White-Haired Form girl. I just saw you and your companion looking for hunting dogs. Is there something you need?"

Gallagher looked tired and wanted to slack off; even his tone of voice sounded listless.

"I am Gallagher from the Hound Family. Speaking of which... where are your companions?"

Gallagher tilted his head and glanced behind Lin Shuang, but did not see Sparkle.

But as he spoke, Gallagher's gaze drifted to the mask in Lin Shuang's hand.

When Lin Shuang looked away, Gallagher's eyes showed a subtle change.

He had clearly recognized the origin of the mask.

"My name is Lin Shuang. As for the one you mentioned, he should have already left, so don't worry about him."

Lin Shuang looked Gallagher up and down.

Well, how should I put it?

Gallagher gives off the feeling of a classic "middle-aged man with a story" style in his works.

He was dressed appropriately but somewhat casually, with a stubble beard and simply groomed hair, and slightly long hair.

There were also scars, a weary tone, and that calm demeanor.

It gives people a very classic feeling.

Thinking this, Lin Shuang tilted her head and glanced around, only to find that the two members of the Hound Family who had been talking to Gallagher earlier had already dispersed.

Gallagher simply smiled.
