It was Qu Muzhi's mask.
"Captain Yang..." Qu Muzhi, trapped and barely alive, was about to be devoured by writhing roots, with life and death hanging by a thread.
"Hold on, Captain Qu!"
Yang Xiao immediately rushed to save him. Just one second before he reached Qu Muzhi, the Human Bone Staff behind him switched to a cleaver and chopped down towards Qu Muzhi's neck, but an abruptly rising tree root blocked it, hitting only his shoulder instead.
The strike failing, Yang Xiao immediately retreated, but it was half a step too late as a tree root as thick as a calf struck his back.
As the cleaver came down, the surrounding dead woods dissipated rapidly. In a few blinks, they were back in the hospital garden. At this moment, the "Qu Muzhi" not far away also revealed his true face—it was someone wearing a mask marked "Prisoner No.44."
Dressed in black and from the figure, it seemed to be a woman.
