As though it had triggered some kind of keyword, a reply came.
"Since you've asked so sincerely..."
With the first line, the first figure appeared. Then came the second line and a second figure.
"We'll be magnanimous enough to tell you."
"To prevent the world from being destroyed."
"To protect the peace of the world."
"To carry out the evil of love and truth."
"Adorable and charming villains."
"Jun Buyan."
"Jun Buyu..."
"We are the Masked Squad, traveling through the Soul Beast forests!"
"White Hole, a white tomorrow awaits us."

The familiar yet strange lines left the Shrek members unable to remember where they had heard them before.
Xiao Wu said, "That sounds so familiar. Aren't you the Masked Squad we saw in the Star Dou Forest before?"

"Damn it! Why is it you guys?!" Dai Mubai cursed furiously.
Masked Li Pu, speaking in a girl's voice, replied matter-of-factly, "That's right, it's us, because we're the Masked Squad, traveling through the Soul Beast forests!"
"You damn bastards! What exactly are you after? You want to fight us for the External Soul Bone again?!" Ma Hongjun shouted.
Why had these bastards come to steal their Soul Bone again? It was their hope of rising to prominence!
Qian Renxue, disguised as well, folded her arms and said with amusement, "What else? It's such a precious treasure. Why should only you be allowed to fight over it?"
