Global Card Master: Start Awakening the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 252 Painted Skin!

"What mission?"

Jiang Ming didn't expect that Feng Cheng said there was a task suitable for them just after he arrived.

I picked up the folder curiously and took a look.

Mission Name: The Destruction of the Shadow Cult
Mission level: A

Mission Description: The "Shadow Cult" holds illegal gatherings, engages in mind control, and is even suspected of multiple missing persons cases. Their doctrines preach that the end of the world is coming, and salvation can only be achieved through their rituals.

Mission objective: Eliminate all members of the "Shadow Sect".

Known information: The leader of the "Shadow Cult" calls himself "Shadow Prophet", a card master with the strength of a silver card master, who is good at using shadow and mind control cards. This means that he has three other silver card master followers.

Jiang Ming and his team have actually done this kind of task many times.

The location of the other party will be marked on the Tianyan APP, so Jiang Ming and his team just need to go there and catch them red-handed.

"Okay, give it to us then."

Jiang Ming quickly took the folder.

Just warming up.

There is also a gap between silver and silver.

This kind of task is not too difficult.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Feng Cheng also happily poured tea for a few people.

Jiang Ming and his men are here to help.
This group of cultists are lucky, as they can feel what it is like to be crushed, helping them find themselves again.

As night falls in Dongping City, the street lights gradually light up, covering this emerging city with a warm coat.

Jiang Ming and his companions were dressed in casual clothes and drove straight to the landmark on the Sky Eye.

It was a factory located on the edge of the city. According to information, these cultists were still working in the factory, so they quietly evacuated other people and began to take action at night.

Cars whizzed on the streets. As time passed, people got used to it and found that Dongping City was actually more prosperous than the previous capital city in terms of urban facilities.

So there are still many vehicles and pedestrians on the streets.

It can be said that it is a night city that is even more prosperous than before.

Arrived at the destination.

Jiang Ming and the others didn't say anything, as they had cooperated so many times.

It is clear what each person is responsible for.

Jiang Ming walked in front, holding a map in his hand, on which were marked the buildings where the target people were located.

"I'll go find the leader, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Okay, I'll go find the two on the left."

Fan Huai looked at the Sky Eye APP and pointed at the two red dots on the left and said.

"Leave the rest to Xiao Meng and me."

The rest will naturally be left to Xiang Yao and Shen Meng.

"Okay, let's get started. Finish early and I'll take you to a nice place."

Jiang Ming closed the map and disappeared instantly.

"Damn it, why is Brother Ming still running away?"

Fan Huai cursed with a smile and left as well.

The remaining two, Xiang Yao and Shen Meng, looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Let's go too~"

Xiang Yao walked in front.

The outline of the abandoned factory gradually became clear in the night, and the tall chimney stood quietly in the night sky like a huge black giant.

The factory's windows were broken and the walls were covered with vines. Everything looked desolate and eerie.

Xiang Yao and Shen Meng approached the factory quietly. They didn't know why their target didn't go back to rest and was still in the factory.

Signaled to Yao to stop.

He first glanced around, and after confirming that there were no sentries or anything like that, he quickly rushed into the factory.

The interior of the factory was dark and empty, with only a few faint rays of light coming through the broken windows.

The two men carefully walked through rows of abandoned machines and came to the central area of ​​the factory.

A door that is totally inconsistent with the factory style. It is set up next to the machine.

No matter how weird it looks.

Is there a basement in the factory?
But looking at the location on the SkyEye APP, the red dots of those cultists are here.

Xiang Yao could only send a message to Jiang Ming and Fan Huai, and then take Shen Meng away.

In fact, no matter how weird it is.
With Xiang Yao's strength and Shen Meng's assistance, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Reporting to Jiang Ming has become a habit.

Xiang Yao nodded to Shen Meng, then opened the door of the basement and walked down slowly together.

The basement was pitch black, and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell.

Shen Meng turned on the flashlight, and the beam of light flashed through the darkness, illuminating the passage ahead.

This is a must-have item. No matter how strong you are, you will still carry it with you when doing missions.

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the basement, which was obviously unusually empty.

At the end of the passage, a heavy iron door appeared in front of the two people.

According to Xiang Yao's experience, what follows should be some disgusting scenes created by cultists.

For example, human experiments, or human dissection, anyway, it should be related to corpses.

Xiang Yao gave Shen Meng a look, signaling her to be mentally prepared, and then suddenly pushed open the iron gate.

The iron door slowly opened, revealing a huge room.

The room was brightly lit, with a huge altar in the center and several cult followers in black robes standing around it.

Their eyes were wild and empty.

A very familiar scene.

The believers turned their heads and looked at Xiang Yao and the other person with surprise and hostility in their eyes.

Xiang Yao didn't waste any words with them and just let out a low growl.

"Do it!"

Then his body suddenly rushed towards the nearest believer.

At the same time, ice crystals were floating behind him, as if they could shoot out at any time.

Before the believers could react, Xiang Yao was already in their faces.

2 Silver, 4 Bronze.

According to Xiang Yao's strength, it is actually more than enough.

With Shen Meng standing by their side and adding a debuff to them, the six of them bent down instantly.

This allowed Xiang Yao to quickly control the ice cones and blast the four bronze card masters against the wall. The ice cones penetrated their bodies and were stuck into the wall, making it impossible for them to fall down.

Blood trickled down the wall.

Obviously there is no hope.

However, Shen Meng did not do nothing after adding the debuff.

After Xiang Yao blew away the two silver-level warriors, he immediately came to the center of the area surrounded by the cultists.

A pile of human bones was placed on top
There were also some pieces of flesh and blood.

But Shen Meng, who had studied medicine, looked through it for a while and soon found something wrong.

Where's the leather???

You can tell at a glance that the meat is freshly chopped and has been boned.
The skin must still be there.

Only meat and bones, no skin? ?
After discovering this, Shen Meng immediately sent a message to Jiang Ming.

And contacted Feng Cheng.

Shen Meng had serious doubts.
There must be something wrong with the workers who were evacuated earlier.

First of all, it is very strange to have such a door in the factory. How could the people who usually work here not notice it?
Add to this pile of bones and flesh, but no skin.

Could it be the ability to change skin like in the movies? ?
Shen Meng felt a little creepy when thinking about this.

if it is like this.
Can those evacuated employees be found?

And the other side.

Jiang Ming has now arrived at the staff dormitory.

The treatment in this factory is very good. Even ordinary employees can have their own independent small room.

So when evacuating other workers at night, the work went exceptionally smoothly.

It was only eight o'clock, and only the target person's room was still occupied.

Jiang Ming was not idle either, walking up the stairs painfully.

Instead, it quickly took off and landed directly outside the corridor of the target room. The next second.

He slowly landed in the corridor and opened the door directly.

The door is unlocked.

A young man was sitting beside the bed, reading the book in his hands with great interest.

This is hard to see in this society.
I am actually interested in reading during my break time.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up as if he had seen something interesting.

A very normal picture.

However, he seemed not to notice Jiang Ming coming in, and still stared at the book in his hands motionlessly.

of course
Time stop is now enabled.

Of course the other party couldn't move.

Jiang Ming glanced at the title of the book curiously.

"Utopia"

Then Jiang Ming understood why this person was the leader of a cult.

Study so diligently.

It's also difficult for the other party.

Jiang Ming put his hand on the other person's neck and twisted his head off.

Five seconds passed exactly.

Shen Meng's message was also sent at the same time.

Then the head in Jiang Ming's hand and the corpse on the bed suddenly seemed to have lost air and turned into a piece of human skin.

Shen Meng really guessed it right?

Jiang Ming frowned and threw the human skin in his hand aside.

Then the wind began to howl.
It filled the entire dormitory building.

Sure enough, there was no one there.

five minutes later.

The place where Jiang Ming and his friends parked their car.

Fan Huai was the last one to arrive.

"What do you mean? What you encountered were human skins, but what I encountered were real people?" Fan Huai was still in the state of a stone man, more than six meters tall, dragging two corpses in his hands and throwing them next to the car.

“Mine is real too.”

Xiang Yao explained calmly.

"My skin is the only one."

Jiang Ming glanced at the corpse and said something, then sat in the driver's seat.

The other three followed in the car.

The rest of the matters concerning this venue will be left to the Federation.

The problem now is that after this leader's 'death', no trace of him was found on the Tianyan APP.

I don’t know how he lives now.

And it turned out that there were problems with the workers who were evacuated earlier.

Now there is no one to be found.

But it is impossible for thousands of people to disappear completely. If we just give the Federation some time, we will definitely find some clues.

"How come his ability is a bit similar to Painted Skin?"

Fan Huai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but complain.

"It should be said that it is even more terrifying than Painted Skin."

Jiang Ming recalled the information about his natal card that he saw in the room at that time and added a sentence.

This person can kill the opponent and then peel off the opponent's skin and put it on his own body.

And you can gain an ability of that human skin.

This is even more terrifying than Painted Skin.

Not only can he perfectly inherit one's own strength, but he can also change his appearance and temporarily gain one of the opponent's abilities.

"It's still more fun to fight with humans. When fighting those monsters, I always feel like I'm at a disadvantage."

On the way back to the Special Investigation Bureau, Fan Huai looked at his fist excitedly and felt a little satisfied.

Indeed.
Every time Fan Huai rushed forward, the strange beast was almost always bigger than him.

Then there is really no advantage in a fight.

Even though he was over six meters tall, he still felt cramped.

“There’s a clue.”

Shen Meng was paying close attention to the information on the Tianyan APP in real time. When he saw the red dot, he spoke up immediately and changed the navigation to the path on the Tianyan APP.

That's how good the coordination work of the Special Investigation Bureau is.

They just need to find someone to rush in, and leave the professional work such as investigating traces to professionals.

Jiang Ming immediately turned the car around and drove towards the moving red dot.

Night City Bar.
This is one of the best nightclubs in Ningyuan District, Dongping City.

After the first batch of migrants moved in, it became very popular among people.

Safety, excitement, romance, den of brothel and so on have become its synonyms.

At this moment, there are many sexy women in revealing clothes and men in designer clothes constantly coming in and out of the door.

When Jiang Ming and his companions came down, they attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Do you want someone to clean up?"

Fan Huai felt a headache looking at so many people.

If this is not achieved in the first place, it will be difficult to deal with it later.

"Need not."

Jiang Ming opened the Bai Ze map, glanced at the crowd, and shook his head.

Then he took Fan Huai and the other two to the door.

The security guard at the door just glanced at the ID cards of the few people and let them in.

There is no threshold and no capital verification.

Anyone who is an adult can enter.

This may be one of the reasons why this place is so popular.

If rich people want to show their wealth, they have to go to places where there are many poor people.

Fan Huai followed Jiang Ming, looking around curiously.

This was actually his first time setting foot in such a place.

There is no way. I haven't graduated from high school yet. After the era of card master came, I have been following Jiang Ming's footsteps, moving forward.
Therefore, my knowledge of bars is limited to the descriptions on TV and the Internet.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that reality is far more lively and complicated than the world on the screen.

Wait until you walk through the corridor and actually enter the bar.

Fan Huai was shocked by the scene inside. The music was deafening and colorful lights swept across the dance floor, making the entire space look like a dream.

The crowd on the dance floor danced wildly to the rhythm of the music, their faces filled with excitement and indulgence.

Fan Huai only took a quick glance and saw many young women dressed sexily.

This made him blush.

But Jiang Ming didn't care what he was thinking, as he had seen many such scenes in his previous life.

At this moment, the decoration is just a little more luxurious and has a little more sense of technology.

After scanning the crowd, Jiang Ming led them directly to the bar.

In front of the bar, the bartender was demonstrating his cocktail-mixing skills. The bottles flew up and down in his hands, eventually turning into glasses of colorful homemade liquor.

The guests sat around the bar, tasting the wine and talking loudly, their faces full of excitement.

"Is there no one here?"

Jiang Ming went straight to a sexy woman wearing a red slit skirt
The fork was almost at my hip.

She didn't resist at all when Jiang Ming suddenly put his arm around her shoulders.

Instead, he smiled and whispered, "No one."

Then he called to the bartender in a familiar manner: "Give me four more glasses of Flaming Lips."

Although Fan Huai and the others didn't know what was going on, they could guess what was going on when they saw Jiang Ming go straight to this person.

The Shadow Prophet, this must be the woman.
