Chapter 603: Celinina's Big Change

Hearing House's question, the coach's expression immediately became a little subtle. This sudden change made House and the people hiding behind him in Ideal Country all nervous, but then the coach asked him a question instead -

"It's been almost a month since I mentioned it. How is it outside now?"

"A month?" House immediately grasped the important information and even put aside the questions he asked before.

"Oh, it seems that those people guessed it right. This place has become a dreamland, right?" Seeing House's expression, the coach reacted first and nodded with a calmness that was not like the person involved. He seemed to be still. With some relaxation.

"You accepted it so easily?" Instead of going back through time with the colonel and teammates in the Utopia to determine when Cellinina had changed, House asked the question he was more concerned about with a little vigilance. .

"If you don't accept it after a month, you should accept it. If you ask me, my life this month has been more comfortable than in the past few decades." The coach spread his hands in an easy-going manner and even patted the seat next to him. , indicating that House could sit down and talk.

House, who had been tortured by idol training for a long time and was sore all over, immediately obeyed and found a comfortable position to sit down, and then said:

"What happened during this time?"

"About a month ago... it was the 18th or 19th. Anyway, the power went out early in the morning. After that, nightmares broke out everywhere. I don't know if you know what Chelinina is like. In this ghost place, many gangs and hooligans took advantage of the trouble. After the panic, more nightmares appeared, and then for some reason, even the residents of the dreamland began to appear. Then the residents, gangsters, and nightmares fought in a big melee. People either hide at home, or rush out to fight after being contaminated by nightmares..."

Listening to the coach's somewhat frightened memories, Colonel Boleman in the ideal country nodded slightly. Technology was out of control, the dreamland was rampant, and nightmares were coming. Based on the information the speaker told him before, this made him more and more sure of his guess.

"Sure enough, something went wrong on the Creator's side... Feng Xue must be found as soon as possible."

Braiman was thinking in his heart, but after hearing the coach's words, he also ushered in a turning point——

"Later, I don't know who took control of the city's speakers and radios, and then played a song... Well, it's hard to describe. According to him, it was a song that united everyone. Although he didn't know what the lyrics meant, he sang After that, the nightmares stopped killing people, and the residents stopped fighting nightmares. Even the landscape of the entire city has changed. This training base looks quite trendy to you, right? In fact, it was actually the apartment building where my home was. I was hiding at home. As soon as the song was finished, a bunch of messy thoughts came to my mind, and then suddenly, the room turned into a dance studio. "

"It sounds like someone launched a large-scale integrated structure in times of crisis, controlling or hypnotizing the nightmares and residents? Or accelerating the invasion of the dreamland? A musical structure, is it Feng Xue?" This thought came to Colonel Brayman's mind , and immediately said to House:

"Ask him if it rained that day."

"Uh..." House was stunned by the sudden order, but still asked while the coach was breathing:

"Do you remember what the weather was like that day? Like rain or something?"

"Who knows! I'm just an ordinary person. If I couldn't afford to move, I wouldn't stay in Chelinina! I realized something was wrong that day, so I kept hiding in the house, even the windows were closed. I didn’t dare to get close, I didn’t come out until the whole city changed, but if I had to say... I shouldn’t have heard the sound of rain?”

The coach didn't care at all about his coercion. After responding casually, he continued:

"It was called chaos back then. Although the city has changed, no one knows what to do. There are still nightmares and residents on the streets. Although they don't seem to be polluted, they don't look like humans at first sight, you know?"

"Well, I saw it when I came here." House recalled some of the demi-human species he saw on the street before and nodded. Seeing that the colonel had no new questions, he brought the topic back:

"So what's this mask about?"

"This... we learned this from the residents and nightmares - although we seem to have turned into character cards, we will still be hungry, and those who want to rob are put in jail, and there is no such thing in this city. To collect star ring coins, some people robbed them in order not to starve to death. The weak ones were caught and thrown into prison. The few who robbed them were hunted down by nightmares and residents who had stopped killing people, and some even tried unbearably. Suicide exits the dreamland, but the person just disappears, no one knows whether they are really dead or have exited. "

Having said this, a look of lingering fear appeared on the boss's face:

"In the first few days, many people committed suicide. Later, everyone noticed that some residents and nightmares would go to work in the shops. Some who were hungry and couldn't bear it would follow suit, and then they discovered the mask."

"Eh? Why a mask?" House was a little confused. Isn't working part-time to make money? However, the boss seemed to have no intention of hiding it and responded directly:

"In this city, as long as you play a specific identity, a mask will slowly be generated. With this mask, you will have the identity represented by the mask. You can understand it as a diploma or something like that. Many high-level All jobs require corresponding masks.

"Furthermore, masks can also be snatched and traded. As long as you wear the corresponding mask, you can immediately obtain the knowledge of the mask's identity. However, if you did not condense it yourself, it will disappear after you take it off. For example, I will explain to you the mask now. , it can improve the performance of my [coach] mask, although I don’t know what it will become if I continue to improve it.”

"Snatch? You seemed to have said something about being faceless before?" House immediately asked, and the coach also knew everything:

"Well, the Faceless Men are a bit like nightmares. During the day, they are ordinary people. At night, they take off their masks and turn into various monsters. But they don't kill people, they only steal masks. But it's not just the Faceless Men who can steal masks, some Architects will also grab other people's masks. In addition, masks are considered hard currency in this city. Competitions with a competitive nature often have bets on masks. For example, in idol competitions, the winner will take away the loser's mask and gain The skills mastered by the other party and the more complex fusion mask seem to be able to obtain strong power. "

"Is it okay to tell me this kind of thing?" House felt something was wrong. Even if she was an ordinary person, Cellinina should not have such a warm and good person.

"Anyway, even if I don't tell you, you will know it soon. After all, several organizations will post relevant notices. Instead of letting you find it by yourself, why not let me tell you directly and increase [the coach's] role a little bit more." Coach. He spread his hands and gave the answer directly. After hearing the words, Braiman immediately caught the key words and immediately ordered:

"Ask him what 'major organizations' means."

House did as he was told, but the coach scratched his head and said a little embarrassed:

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. Currently, there are only six organizations that Chelinina can call an organization, namely the True Face Society, the Mask Group, the Duel Club, the Blue Dream Gang, the Pirate Group and the Maskbreakers.

"The Face Snatchers are actually the forces composed of humans who snatch other people's masks as mentioned before. They seem to have a certain connection with the Nightmare Faceless Men; the Blue Dream Gang is the organization to which our training center belongs, like an idol management group; The pirate group doesn't appear often and never causes trouble for ordinary people. Every time it appears, it drives a pirate ship; the duel club is actually a union of casino-type guys, and they bet on everything; in the end, the real face group and the mask group both sides They are enemies, but they are both very strong. Apart from the frequent fights between the two leaders, they are not usually a threat. Instead, they will help deal with the Faceless Men. "

"How were these organizations established?" House knew what he was going to ask next without the colonel opening his mouth. But this time, the instructor shook his head and said:

"I don't know, it seems to have appeared naturally. For example, the Blue Dream Group. After my home was turned into a training center, the sign outside was the 'Blue Dream Idol Training Center'. Later, residents of the Blue Dream Group also conducted training. Everyone said that maybe it was originally a training center." It’s hard to say whether some of the dreamland forces and the Faceless Men have united together. Casinos are also existing institutions, but the True Face Society and the Mask Group only appeared later. It seems that as long as masks with special abilities are fused, No matter ordinary people, residents, or nightmares can join, the true face will pay attention to taking off the mask, while the mask group pays attention to the power of the mask, but the specific how to take off and wear it is not something ordinary people like me can know. "

Seeing the instructor's answer, Colonel Boleman in the Utopia showed a thoughtful expression, but the instructor suddenly changed his expression and said:

"Okay, I've told you what you want to know, it's time to continue training!"

…

Seeing House being picked up by the instructor and starting training again, several people in the Utopia looked at each other. After a moment, Brayman gritted his teeth and said:

"We now need five people to join the five forces apart from the Blue Dream Gang. The remaining people will stay in the Utopia to serve as substitutes in case someone has an accident."

Although it hasn't been stated clearly yet, everyone is a veteran, so they naturally know that this is the self-recommendation stage. Colonel Boleman must die last, and they must decide who takes the risk first.

Now you have a certain degree of autonomy in making your own choices, but if no one is willing to go, then you will have to force delegation in the future.

Everyone knew it, so they began to think about which one suited them. Finally, a soldier took the lead and said:

"Colonel, I'll go with the Face Snatchers. Although it's more dangerous, it also has a higher degree of freedom. I'm somewhat confident in combat."

Seeing someone speaking, the remaining people quickly made their choices. After a while, there were only three people left in the Utopia.

In addition to Boleman, one is his personal guard and the other is a communications soldier.

…

Just when Bolaiman sent out most of his escorts to start collecting clues, in the former central control building in Chelinina, now the headquarters of Blue Dream Group, Feng Xue's family was gathering in front of a big screen, like a real-time strategy game Like, looking at the big map.

"Are these outsiders okay?"

Lou Shuang pointed at the few red dots that had just appeared on the map and asked. Before Feng Xue could speak, Su Yeli said:

"It doesn't matter. As long as you come in, you have to follow the rules here. By the time they go out, your brother-in-law will have already run away with the Utopia!"

Although the female ghost did not deliberately increase her voice, Lou Shuang clearly felt that she was emphasizing the word "brother-in-law", but she did not pay attention to it. She muttered in her heart, "What does a nightmare look like?" When she turned her eyes, she was slightly startled. :

"Hey, where's the pink one?"

Although Xiao Gudu usually turns into a wild hammer snake and drills through the cracks in the wall, you can always find it if you look carefully, but now... it is really gone!

"Here it is." Su Yeli stretched out her hand and pointed at the music performance hall of Lanmeng Company, with a sly smile on her face:

"Your brother-in-law has spent a lot of effort to make her dream come true!"

"Make her dream come true?" Lou Shuang immediately looked at Feng Xue, but found that Feng Xue also had a sly smile on his face, and couldn't help but become curious, but thinking of Xiao Gudu's personality, she frowned and said:

"Can she really do it alone?"

"Huang Shengsheng is with her. She said that she didn't play drums well before, so she took the opportunity to learn." Feng Xue said, and swiped her finger as if to enlarge the screen. Above the location of the performance hall on the map, a small screen was immediately opened, and in the picture, Xiao Gudu was holding a guitar and trembling all over.

…

“Aaaaa… I was just talking! I suddenly have to perform in front of so many people… Ahhh!”

Looking at Xiao Gudu who was about to shake out the Vibrator Fruit, Huang Shengsheng, who was playing with the drumsticks, sighed:

“Just treat them as non-humans, right?”

“But I would be scared even if there were hundreds of puppets watching me!” Xiao Gudu was numb when she thought about going on stage to perform a guitar solo in front of more than two thousand people.

At least… at least give her a band!

"What band do you need? Aren't you a band yourself? I remember it clearly, Ms. Wen, Ms. Xie, etc..."

"Wow! Don't suddenly appear in other people's minds!" Xiao Gudu was so scared that she lost her appearance. Feng Xue's voice was like rolling her eyes in front of her, and she said speechlessly:

"Are you qualified to say this to me? Either you play the guitar solo, or pull your friends together to form a band, that's it!"

"Hey! Hey! Don't go!" Xiao Gudu stared, although she was backstage, the cheers outside had suffocated her.

"Let's go, Xiao Gudu, after so many years, you finally have the opportunity to go on stage, you can't give up!" The little guitar man who appeared at some point whispered encouragement in Xiao Gudu's ear, and Huang Shengsheng, who was standing next to her, seemed to sigh, and suddenly picked a leaf from somewhere and walked up, and flashed in front of her eyes--

"Okay, now you can't see the audience!"
