Chapter 107 Wrongly Blamed

“So far, I haven’t seen anyone on the streets, even if I’m wearing a mask or not, but there are live people here.

Ria turned around and was about to leave, when a voice came from inside the toast shop and stopped him.

"Hide quickly! How dare you stand outside and run around, risking your life?"

Riya turned around and saw a man wrapped tightly in cloth, and immediately felt confused.

The man seemed very angry, but when facing Riya, he still explained to him the purpose of the strange decorations on his body.

He said that this was used to prevent pest infestations. Sometimes, many huge bugs would appear inexplicably and attack the residents, and they could only hide themselves in the house.

"Those bugs appear at uncertain times. Everyone is too scared to go out. They used to be regular, but in recent months, who knows what happened to them, as if they were possessed by demons... Oh, I can only hope. The sun protects us."

"Then business must be difficult these days."

Riya took a few steps forward: "I'll buy some food and leave."

"Then you shouldn't buy it at this time. No one is out at this point. You see, I'm so scared that I don't even dare to ask someone to repair the door sign."

The boss said this, but still brought a plate of toast from the house and asked Riya how much he wanted to buy.

Riya bought ten Swale's things, held the bag with toast in her arms, and watched the boss quickly return to the house after finishing his business.

"Insect protection - it's better to say it's to cover up my aging physical features."

He took a few steps outside, as if he suddenly realized something, his expression behind the mask suddenly changed, he turned around and forced his way into the store to look for the owner, but at this time, there was no one there except for some furniture.

There wasn't even any food on the table.

"What a good trick." Riya said sarcastically.

"My whole body is wrapped in cloth and I don't dare to show my face or body, but I'm the only person in this town who communicates with me after I go out. It's only the idiots who fell into your trap."

He glanced around, searching for something in the store. After a while, he heard the sound of sobbing in his ears. Riya immediately pointed his eyes towards the direction of the cabinet, stretched out his cane and poked it. There was a "bang" sound, and the cabinet door A hole was forcefully poked out.

A scream like a murderous pig came from inside: "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!!!"

The cabinet door was opened from the inside. The boss, who was wrapped in cloth, couldn't understand why Riya suddenly turned back and broke into his shop, looking like he wanted to kill someone.

He hid in the cupboard holding a plate of toast, shivering while huddled among the tableware, and at the same time couldn't help but be so frightened that he burst into tears.

The tableware made a trilling sound as he shook it.

Riya was a little surprised when he saw someone hiding. He pointed the tip of his cane at the man's Adam's apple, and a forged hoarse voice came from behind the mask: "Why did you take the initiative to talk to me just now? What do you have? Purpose?"

"I, I, I... I just don't want outsiders to suffer, so I'll help if I can... and I'm just a toast seller, so what's my purpose?" The boss was frightened and shaking even more. At this time To him, Dria was no different than the murderer mentioned in the newspapers.

"And judging by your appearance, you should be a doctor. I have always respected doctors..."

He did not expect that good intentions would not be rewarded, and that he would be treated like this one day, and after he finished explaining, Ria lowered her head and moved closer to him, and in the mirror was his extremely frightened face.

"Then what are you trying to cover up, using fabric to control pests? I have a lot of bugs here. We can try to control them."

He stretched out his hand, and a fat gray worm appeared in his hand. He then threw the worm towards the huddled man without hesitation. The man screamed and bounced the moment the flesh worm landed on his body, hitting himself in the cupboard. head.

The tableware next to me rolled out with a clatter and fell to the floor.

Riya's voice was even colder: "Since you are protected from insects, what are you still afraid of? You wrapped yourself up tightly for no reason and are still alive and well. Are you afraid that people will see your true face!?"

He stretched out his hand to tear off the fabric on the person's face, but what he saw was an old face.

At this time, the man desperately tried to cover his face.

"Don't look! Don't look at my ugly appearance!"

"I just age quickly, and I just can't meet people - why are you doing this to me! Is it wrong to sell food? There are reasons why the residents here don't meet outsiders!"

Seeing that his face was seen, the boss simply broke the jar and stared at Riya with eyes mixed with pain and anger. The old face was extremely inconsistent with his voice, which made Riya rarely doubt himself.

"Aren't you from the underground church?"

"...Am I worrying too much?"

"Get out! You evil man, get out of our neighborhood!"

"Bang!" A dinner plate was smashed to the ground by him, and Riya also left the shop as if she had woken up. He apologized to the other party before leaving, but it was a pity that the other party would never forgive him.

Riya was eventually kicked out. He was glad that he was wearing a mask at this time and it was not his own face that was humiliated.

Moreover, with the mask, no one can see what his expression is at this time.

Not long after Riya left, the owner of the shop slowly crawled out of the cupboard and looked back at the cupboard. The thing he had previously pinned under him turned out to be a pure white faceless mask.

He caught a gray fleshworm in his palm and squeezed it slightly, and the fleshworm burst into pulp with a "snap".

"What a terrible intuition. I thought I acted perfectly, but I was almost discovered."

"But it doesn't matter. Life is full of surprises to surprise people...hahahaha! His sudden return just now was beyond my expectation."

The boss wrapped his face tightly with cloth again, and became "trembling" again, looking at his damaged tableware sadly.

"Why are people so violent nowadays? I... I will never help any outsiders again. Outsiders cannot understand us. They must experience the pain we have experienced before they can truly understand each other."

"Equality and freedom can only be achieved through equal experiences. This is clearly written in our doctrine."

"Praise our leader - wait, who is our leader?"

"I vaguely remember that the leader's name is very long. Why give him such a long name?"

"Forget it... It doesn't matter. From now on, I am the new leader of the White Mask."

...

Riya returned to Ilint's old house. He finally chose to feed the things he bought to the rats on the street.
