    Chapter 95

    Yan Yunqing was bewildered, Yan Yunqing was at a loss.

    Yan Yunqing…

    Yan Yunqing felt like he had been charging up a powerful move, but hadn’t released it, while his cute girl teammate had single-handedly pushed down the enemy’s crystal.

    ‘Cute girl’ teammate Divick: ?

    Yan Yunqing supported his forehead, following behind the hooded figure out of the venue. As soon as he got close to Divick, the other party immediately clung to him.

    Divick opened his mouth to shout, but Yan Yunqing pinched him, forcing him to swallow the ‘King’ that was about to come out, revealing his wet eyes.

    Yan Yunqing: …

    Tsk, has Divick been with Beros for too long? How does he look even more like a dog than Beros?

    There weren’t many people in the rest room for advanced contestants. So far, a total of six groups had advanced, and he and Divick were the seventh group to enter.

    As soon as they came in, the people in the rest room looked in their direction, their eyes filled with scrutiny and exploration.

    Yan Yunqing didn’t pay much attention. He opened the mini-map and roughly memorized the route here.

    His finger was hooked. Yan Yunqing looked up and found it was Divick. He didn’t care, closing his eyes and starting to think about what to do next.

    There was definitely something wrong with Mantipelle, it was too weird. Even if he participated in this competition until the end and won, it would probably be difficult to leave here smoothly. Yan Yunqing had to be ready to escape at any time.

    Fortunately, after the first round of group advancement, the cooldowns of his two life-saving skills had been reset, and he could teleport out of here at any time.

    The main thing was that Yan Yunqing didn’t understand how that [Parasite] appeared. These contestants only had a [Mark] on them. He had seen the dead muscle man, and when [Parasite] appeared, the [Mark] didn’t disappear, but after he was completely drained, the [Mark] also disappeared.

    He reached out and touched the white mask on his face. Yan Yunqing narrowed his eyes and cast [Appraisal] on the mask.

    [Contestant Mask]

    Description: A mask used to cover the face.

    Yan Yunqing didn’t quite believe it, and cast several more appraisals. Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the description changed slightly.

    [Contestant Mask]

    Description: A mask made from unknown corpses, which can be used to cover the face. Long-term close contact will be contaminated by the filth on the corpses and parasitized.

    Yan Yunqing: ?!

    Yan Yunqing’s hand trembled, almost dropping the mask.

    Who would make a good person mask out of corpses? No, it was even specified that there was filth on the corpses. Could Yan Yunqing not understand what this mask was made of?

    God’s bones.

    Yan Yunqing tried to reach out and take off the mask on his face, but found that the mask seemed to be stuck to his face. Pulling it a few times, he felt his skin being pulled, and it was a little painful.

    Damn it, what’s wrong with this mask? That muscle man took it off very easily just now, why can’t he take it off?

    Could it be because too much time has passed?

    Yan Yunqing opened the private chat system. Divick’s favorability was very high. Since Divick recognized him, he directly entered his NPC friend list.

    [Good Day (Private)]: Divick, try to take off your mask?

    Divick’s eyes sharpened for a moment. After discerning that it was Yan Yunqing’s voice, the sharp eyes turned into confusion. He looked at Yan Yunqing and opened his mouth.

    Yan Yunqing grabbed his mouth and continued to talk to him through the chat system.

    [Good Day (Private)]: No need to ask, it’s me.

    Divick calmed down. He tried to take off the mask from his face as Yan Yunqing said.

    He didn’t succeed.

    Divick clicked his tongue and used a little force on his hand. Yan Yunqing could see a few drops of blood sliding down his cheek.

    He actually planned to tear the mask off his face?

    Yan Yunqing subconsciously grabbed Divick’s wrist, and suddenly remembered the dragon’s powerful physique.

    “I’m fine,” Divick said in a low voice.

    Yan Yunqing slowly let go of his hand, “Okay.”

    He looked around. The other advanced contestants didn’t pay attention to them, but tearing off the mask in this place could still cause panic.

    [Good Day (Private)]: Not here, find a place where there is no one.

    Yan Yunqing stood up. Divick was very obedient, doing whatever Yan Yunqing asked him to do. They walked towards the exit as if nothing had happened.

    The hooded figure stopped them, “The competition is still in progress, please do not wander around at will.”

    “What? Are we not even allowed to go to the toilet after advancing?” Yan Yunqing glanced at the hooded figure.

    The hooded figure was stunned. He looked at Divick behind Yan Yunqing, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief, “You are going to the toilet, what about this one?”

    Yan Yunqing twitched the corner of his mouth and simply reached out and hugged… a little weird, forget it.

    He put his arm around Divick, who was a head taller than him, patted Divick’s face, motioned the other party to lower his head, and casually borrowed the position to perform an intimate action, “What? Do you want me to explain our relationship to you in detail?”

    Hooded figure: …

    The hooded figure gave them a strange look and silently stepped aside.

    A few people who were close by also heard Yan Yunqing’s voice, and their expressions were also indescribable.

    Can’t you even bear it for such a short time?

    Yan Yunqing rolled his eyes at the hooded figure, playing the arrogant aristocrat to the fullest, reached out and pulled Divick, passing the hooded figure and walking out.

    Finding the washroom, Yan Yunqing pushed the door open to make sure there was no one inside, and directly pulled Divick in. He was about to say you can continue, but when he turned around, he found that Divick’s exposed ears were red, and his neck was also red.

    Yan Yunqing: …?

    “Are you okay?”

    Why is he like a cooked shrimp?

    Divick closed his eyes, refusing to answer this question.

    He stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of the mask, exerting force with his fingertips. Yan Yunqing could see that the place where the mask was connected to Divick’s face was gradually torn apart, and blood slowly oozed out, slowly sliding down his chin.

    Seeing this scene, Yan Yunqing felt his face hurt as well.

    Without a trace of hesitation, Divick tore off the entire mask, and suddenly there were several cuts on his face.

    A bloody mess.

    Yan Yunqing casually took out a small red bottle and threw it to Divick, “Drink it, or just pour it on your face.”

    Such a handsome face was ruined by this mask.

    Fortunately, it wasn’t a lie that the dragon’s physical fitness was strong. Their recovery ability was also the strongest among the alien races. This kind of injury was nothing to him.

    Divick casually wiped the blood on his face. Before he used the small red bottle, the wound on his face had already begun to heal, and it was obvious that he was fine.

    Yan Yunqing glanced at his status bar. The [Mark] was still there, but there was no [Parasite] like the muscle man. It seemed that as long as the mask was not broken, it would not be parasitized.

    As for the reason why the fat man who vomited blood at the beginning was parasitized… it was likely that there were other conditions for the generation of this parasitism.

    Yan Yunqing touched the mask on his face. He wanted to tear it off directly like Divick, but he had to make a mental preparation in advance, and his physique was not as strong as Divick, who could tear off his face like it was nothing.

    Yan Yunqing glanced at his physique points on his panel, thinking about whether adding all the remaining free attribute points to physique could slightly reduce the pain during the process of tearing off the mask…

    Speaking of tearing off the mask, why is he more and more like Joker? Just because he gave himself the code name Joker, does he have to tear off a mask like Joker?

    …Eh?

    Yan Yunqing had a flash of inspiration. He tried to switch to the preset Joker suit. The next second, the clothes on his body changed to a black dress coat and a red cloak, and the white mask on his face was replaced by [Face Part for Masquerade Dance].

    Yan Yunqing touched the mask on his face and tried to take it off, easily taking it off.

    Where did the white mask go?

    Yan Yunqing glanced at the backpack. All the items on his body, in the absence of presets, would be directly put into the backpack when switching presets.

    Sure enough, the clothes he took off and the white mask were quietly lying in the backpack.

    He took off the mask painlessly!

    Divick, who was originally watching the king in front of him suddenly change, was first vigilant, but slowly relaxed after discovering that the smell had not changed.

    Yan Yunqing sighed at his wit. He switched back to his disguise. The white mask on his face was not put back on. He took out the white mask from the backpack and studied it carefully. Continuing to cast [Appraisal] was no longer useful. The item description was still the original one.

    But since he knew that this thing was not a good thing, Yan Yunqing could not continue to wear it on his face. Although he could take it off now, if the time was longer, he wouldn’t even be able to tear it off, which would be trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.

    Yan Yunqing hesitated a little. Having reached this point, knowing that this competition was ill-intentioned, was it necessary for him to continue to participate?

    He did come for the entrance exam at first, but now he has met Isabel, and there is no need to say where Merlin is.

    Maybe he can give up entering Sigrit Academy and go directly to Merlin to learn skills, and even directly ask Merlin about the prophecy a thousand years ago. After all, Lillian said: “The time of the ‘Sky Descender’s’ arrival was interpreted by Merlin.”

    His purpose in going to Sigrit Academy can be fully achieved at Merlin’s place, so this entrance exam is dispensable for him.

    What is more troubling now is how to bring Ino out together?

    The other members of the children’s group are easy to talk about, but as the “bookmaker” of the competition, Ino is someone Yan Yunqing is now very difficult to approach and take away.

    He has to think of a way…

    Before Yan Yunqing could think of a way, it started to get chaotic outside.

    A prompt popped up in front of Yan Yunqing at the same time.

    ‘You have obtained the item key 1/108, which has met the conditions to open the dungeon. Do you want to open the dungeon [Mantipelle · Golden Artificial Factory]?’

    Dungeon?

    He had encountered the same prompt in Sunset Village. At that time, it prompted him to collect two dungeon keys to open the Sunset Village dungeon, but this prompt was different. The dungeon key showed a total of 108 pieces in the prompt. He obtained one of them and had already met the conditions to open the dungeon –

    Yan Yunqing followed the prompt and saw the white mask emitting a faint glow. Obviously, this mask was the key to open the dungeon.

    Faintly hearing the noisy sounds outside approaching, Yan Yunqing pulled Divick into a team state and opened the dungeon.
