The Space Defense Barrier flickered open, but it only blocked the sound of the wind for a moment. The next second, something flying towards him appeared inside the barrier, and Xu Huo's knife responded in kind. With two quick consecutive slices, a clatter followed by a thud was heard as something hit the ground.
He was standing in a room covered with dust cloths, quite spacious, with large windows a few meters away. Although there was no lighting outside, under the faint daylight, the room wasn't completely dark, and he could see just fine. What fell to the ground was undoubtedly a ghost face mask sliced into pieces.
He used the tip of his knife to prod it, and upon inspection, the inside of the mask didn't have any "veins" growing out—it just looked like an ordinary mask.
Since his personal interface wasn't sealed, Xu Huo took out a small box, had the Girl in the painting store the mask inside while he dealt with three more masks appearing from various places.
