Xu Zhou Controlled by the Mask

Jiang Tianzong seen too many people who thought they had gained some kind of power, then acted recklessly, only to be mysteriously destroyed in the end.

The supernatural is not something that ordinary people can control.

Therefore, the Contract Anomalist must contain them.

"You're telling me everything you know, but you don't want to drag your family into this, do you?"

"The supernatural is not something ordinary people like you can deal with."

Jiang Tianzong's tone was harsh, as if he were threatening a child.

Yang Yu flinched, then nodded. "A few days ago, I found a Mask in a box. It looked very strange, and the patterns on it moved. It said it could grant any wish I had, but I was a little scared and didn't touch it."

"Your judgment that you didn't touch it is the most correct one."

Where is it?

Yang Yu quickly brought over a box.

He opened the box, only to find the Mask gone. "Strange, I was sure I locked it inside."

The three then searched his house but found no trace of the Mask.

The trail has gone cold again.

The two were very frustrated.

Yang Yu looked at them cautiously. "It won't affect me, will it?"

Xu Zhou placed his hand on him, quickly removing the eerie aura that lingered on him. "You're alright now."

After confirming that there was no trace of the strange creature there, they left, intending to continue their investigation at the victim's home.

But not long after they left.

Another incident has occurred in town.

Some people die from falls from heights, but strangely, some people saw him with a look of fear on his face, as if he were being chased by something, before he went mad and jumped off the building.

Is it a psychotic episode?

That's terrible.

Such cases can only be closed as suicide after investigation, because many people witnessed him falling from the high-rise building.

However, the number of people dying from accidents is increasing.

Some people drowned while fishing, some were killed by falling objects, and some fell into uncovered sewers and died.

In just one day, several accidents occurred.

As the eerie aura grew stronger, Jiang Tianzong and Xu Zhou were certain that these "accidents" were related to the supernatural.

However, they didn't know if the strange creature had sensed their presence, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the strange creature hiding in the shadows causing trouble.

On the other side.

Bai Zuo was still chatting with Yang Yu.

Yang Yu's recent online statements have become increasingly extreme; he believes that bad people should not exist in this world.

[The Heart's Bloom: Bad people always bully good people, but do good people deserve to be bullied?]

[The Heart's Bloom: If only bad people didn't exist.]

[z: Yes, but that's impossible.]

[The Heart's Bloom:...]

[The Heart's Bloom is now offline.]

To some extent, Yang Yu used netizens as a dumping ground for his emotions. There were things he couldn't say or couldn't say in real life, but he could say them without any scruples online.

It's probably because they're too young.

To the Bai Zuo, the flaws were everywhere, and now it was certain that the Mask was with Yang Yu.

Moreover, presumably because he witnessed the deaths of that group of people and took responsibility for them, his mindset shifted, as if he had opened Pandora's box, and he began to turn on others.

The Bai Zuo investigated the identities of the deceased.

They may appear to be law-abiding people on the surface, but in reality, they all carry a heavy burden of sins.

For example, the person who fell from a height accidentally pushed his classmate off a building when he was a child, causing the classmate's death. However, because he was too young, he was only educated for a few months and then released to live a normal life.

And the person who was killed by falling objects did so because he accidentally killed someone when he was a child by throwing objects from a high place.

Others are bullies, thugs, wanted criminals, and so on.

Bai Zuo strange is how the other side determined the identities of these people.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to hack into the police system like he did, check their criminal records, and just by looking at their daily lives, it's hard to tell that they had committed crimes before.

"It seems that the Mask also has a locking function."

"What are you targeting? Bad guys? No, that's too vague. It's malice? Murderous intent?"

Bai Zuo thought to himself, "Hopefully, Xu Zhou and the others won't fall for it."

The two investigated thoroughly for a long time.

He discovered that the group of people who were killing each other were actually bullies who had bullied more than one person, and one person, unable to bear it any longer, had committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Jiang Tianzong glanced at him. "Hey, are you alright? You look terrible. If you're tired, go and rest. I can find that monster by myself."

Xu Zhou: "Okay..." He was probably a little tired, otherwise why would the emotions lingering in his mind not dissipate, but instead rise higher and higher?

If you see one cockroach in a certain place, it means there are many more cockroaches lurking in the shadows.

Xu Zhou turned and left.

Therefore, neither he nor Jiang Tianzong noticed that a faint black Mask, seemingly struggling, had appeared on their faces.

The Mask fit his face perfectly, constantly changing its expression, as if it were alive.

Xu Zhou decided to return to the hotel to rest.

Jiang Tianzong continued his investigation into the mysterious whereabouts.

Xu Zhou lay down on the bed without changing his clothes, closed his eyes, and recalled fragmented memories of the past. He knew that he had experienced some things in the past.

These memories have been tormenting him, clearly telling him that he killed someone.

Although others believe he was influenced and misled by the Bai Zuo.

But is that really the case?

Deep down, he also wanted to kill all those scumbags.

The Mask on his face slowly emerged, becoming increasingly solid, and a Spider- shaped mark appeared on his chest, resisting the Mask.

The Mask revealed an exaggerated, Clown- like, eerie laugh.

The Spider struggled for a moment, then sank back into Xu Zhou's body.

The Mask, believing it had won, displayed an even happier smile.

Xu Zhou was plunged into darkness.

In a hazy state, he felt as if he were dreaming.

In my dream, I was holding a knife and walking towards someone. Just as I was about to swing the knife, someone stopped me.

Jiang Tianzong angry and shocked, stepped in front of Xu Zhou: "Xu Zhou, what are you doing!"

Xu Zhou's eyes were lifeless, and his expression stiffened as he raised the knife again.

Many people around screamed.

There were still onlookers, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

Jiang Tianzong: "Wake up! How did you get affected by this strange thing?"

He felt very troubled. Xu Zhou was a B-level Contract Anomalist who could open the Ghost Domain. Whether in terms of skill or ability, he was no match for Xu Zhou.
