Mask Zone
When he following 【Clown】's tracks. Again pulling open curtain time. Already is in midair.
Under his feet. Is an ancient stone city-state. Countless figures wearing golden 【Armor】 lining up array moving forward. In the midst of their clustering. A beautiful figure whose whole body golden currently sitting on throne. Slowly towards forward moving.
Every place this team passing by. All figures one after another kneeling on ground. Momentum solemn and grand.
"Iya——"
Just fleeing out from inside curtain's 【Clown】. Treading nothingness continuing to flee. Hearing this shouting sound. The numerous 【Armor】 figures below immediately complexion greatly changed. Entire army lined up array loudly shouting:
"Is that 【Dwarf】 who kidnapped the Queen and snatched the golden flower!!"
——"Cleopatra" (USA), Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1963;
Chen Ling corner of mouth slightly twitched. Again pulling open curtain. Closely following behind 【Clown】.
They seeing suddenly appearing's 【Clown】. First is a shock. Subsequently using alien language Chen Ling couldn't understand angrily saying:
"&(#*&#(@%)!" (Is that invader who abducted the Na'vi princess!)
——"Avatar" (USA), James Cameron, 2009;
Very good. Third flower's source also found.
Consecutively passing through three worlds. Chen Ling finally from 【Optical Disc】's "mille-feuille" inside breaking through coming out. Anew returning to 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】. At this time he already passed through 【Script Zone】 and [Audio Zone]. Directly arriving at the outermost's [Video Zone].
He looking at the currently fleeing in front 【Clown】. Gaze somewhat complex...
So. 【Clown】 these several days all didn't appear. Is running to these movie worlds inside. Finding flowers giving oneself apologizing coming?
Also looted the Queen of Hearts. Also kidnapped Cleopatra. Still abducted alien princess. In order to give oneself apologize. Considered taking these three movie worlds causing to turn heaven and earth upside down...
However. This guy how purely having trouble with 'Queen'?
"Iya!"
Seeing Chen Ling actually still chasing over. 【Clown】 gritting teeth. Forcefully in nothingness in front of body a lift. A fan of curtain more massive than before automatically pulling open.
He one step stepping into within. Figure vanishing not seeing.
Chen Ling closed both eyes. Perceiving the changes inside 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】. Ultimately locked onto his leaving direction...
"That is..." Chen Ling eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled up.
【Clown】 this time entering's. Is a piece of area approaching 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】's deepest place. Chen Ling previously had never entered passing.
Chen Ling briefly thinking after. Still decided chasing up. After all that place still isn't 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】's deepest place. Moreover having authority here. Ought to won't have what big matter.
Chen Ling similarly forcefully brushing open curtain. One step stepping into within!
...
"Yi?"
Just at this time. The 【Beautiful Youth】 still in Wenren You's room inside. Like perceived something. Gaze suddenly looking towards a certain direction in nothingness inside.
The several Senior Brothers Senior Sisters still discussing should how teaching 【Little Junior Brother】. Simultaneously doubtfully looking over.
"What happened Master?"
"【Fifth Brother】 this mistakenly striking and accidentally bumping. Instead chose right place." 【Beautiful Youth】 eyebrows slightly raised.
Remaining several people blanked a bit. Carefully perceiving the situation inside 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】. Wenren You then doubtful opening mouth:
"【Mask Zone】... How would they run to there?"
"Ought to be 【Fifth Brother】 fleeing blindly. Also only 【Mask Zone】 able to take 【Little Junior Brother】 shaking off."
"However that place seemingly also nothing special..."
"To you guys speaking. Truly nothing special." 【Beautiful Youth】 paused, "However. If Old Six encountered that mirror. Matter then has meaning..."
"Mirror?" Ning Ruyu like thinking of something.
"【Mirror of True Self】?!"
...
Formless curtain inside nothingness pulling open. A streak of red clothes figure stepping out from inside.
"Here is..."
Chen Ling's gaze sweeping past all around. Seeing clearly surrounding's furnishings after. Eyes slightly shrinking.
This is a dim makeup room. Looking from layout. With the 【Stage】 backstage makeup room Chen Ling once went to no difference. Makeup room center displaying several makeup mirrors. Mirror frames on top surrounding light rays. Empty chairs one by one neatly placed there. Yet without one person here.
Makeup room's left side. Are densely packed clothes racks. Great majority all are 【Performance】 attire. Arranged neatly according to luxurious degree and color. And when Chen Ling's gaze looking towards right side time. Eyebrows slightly a wrinkle.
Right side's wall surface on top. Hanging countless "faces".
Not is painted faces used for traditional opera 【Performance】. But is one by one genuine human faces. Men women old young. Every age stage. Appearance handsome or ugly. Having everything that one expects to find.
Chen Ling walking to in front of this wall. Fingertips lightly touching wall surface. In front of eyes' countless "faces" rapidly changing up!
This moment. Chen Ling felt vast boundless information impact. Through 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】's authority. He can choose here "humanity" appearing since. Any one era. Any one piece of area. Any one person's face.
Changing words saying. All "faces" appearing on human history up until now. All being collected in this fan of endless wall inside.
"【Mask Zone】... This exactly is 【Mask Zone】?"
Chen Ling closing both eyes. Beginning retrieving inside this incomparably massive "face database". Closely following the human faces on wall surface again crazily "refreshing". Between breaths. One by one Chen Ling incomparable familiar faces surfacing on wall surface!
Chen Ling opening both eyes. Seeing clearly the "faces" on this surface. Couldn't help gasping a mouthful of cold air.
From he starting being born before 【Great Cataclysm】. All "faces" seen before all were adjusted coming out. First face is the face of delivering nurse at that time. Second face is 【Doctor】's face. Third face is his own 【Mother】's face... Again later. Still having his elementary school, middle school, high school all classmates 【Teacher】s. And even the face of the old uncle watching door at door mouth... Still having the face of that harsh leader after working. Even is the faces of hundreds of 【Audience】 sitting 【Off Stage】 when 【Director-Screenwriter】 【Performance】 time...
These faces rapidly rolling in front of Chen Ling's eyes. Fully having tens of thousands of faces. Among them vast majority Chen Ling all only hurriedly seen passing one time. Fundamentally nothing impression. But also having the faces of relatives friends his memory especially profound.
Chen Ling picked a face of that incomparable harsh leader when being 【Director-Screenwriter】 time. Holding him in hand. Towards own face lightly a smear...
Next moment. His figure rapidly changing. Size beginning shrinking. Skin beginning aging. Hair middle also having a piece of smoothness. Waiting until that face perfectly fitting with his face. Chen Ling already thoroughly became the appearance of "leader".
He walking to in front of empty makeup mirror sitting down. Dim mirror frame lamp illuminating his face. Chen Ling looking at oneself in mirror. Not having any difference with leader in memory. Even those details he couldn't remember too clearly. For example freckles and black moles' position. All perfectly restored coming out.
In 【Mask Zone】. As long as Chen Ling wants. Can at any time become any one person appearing on human history...
Even if he had never seen passing opponent.
"Wait... This wouldn't mean..." Chen Ling like thinking of something. Abruptly turning head looking towards that wall.
