They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 162 He is watching you

For the White Mask cult, the price is irrelevant; they simply enjoy seeing others break down because of their actions.

And now, they've succeeded!!!
What Ria held in her hand was proof of their successful sacrifice, but Ria herself did not approve of such a sacrifice.

"You'd risk your life to make me agree to your unreasonable demands?"

Forced buying and selling might work with other gods, but Ria was human, and he always felt that these believers didn't have good intentions, going to all this trouble for such a trivial matter.

Furthermore, his primary motif is that of a "black marketeer," and he has always engaged in unequal transactions with others. There has never been any reason for anyone to force him into a transaction. If those people were to succeed, Lia's own performance would definitely be thrown into chaos.

The lives of all believers are irrelevant; if Gain so desires, the number of believers in the church is not a problem.

“You guys look really rich, daring to spend money like this.”

Ria grabbed the mask in her hand and began to consider whether to pass this hot potato on to another god in order to gain some benefits.

However, as she looked at it, a smiling face suddenly appeared on the mask, but before Ria could see it clearly, the smiling face quickly turned into a crying face.

Joy, sorrow, anger, silence, despair, ferocity, surprise...

The white masks portrayed almost every emotion that humans could express, and then those faces disappeared again, leaving only a blank space.

"Praise be to the faceless and the Lord of trade."

It suddenly spoke to Ria, and Ria immediately said, "Shut up."

Do you know what a white mask is?

From birth, each of us wears our own mask, using different faces to conceal our true thoughts when interacting with different people.

Ignoring Ria's refusal, the mask continued speaking, its face finally settling on a smile, its two eyes curving into a symmetrical arc.

"Hypocrisy is the norm. People cannot see the true thoughts and faces of their fellow human beings, even their closest relatives and friends."

However, when they finally see what the other person looks like, they are often so frightened that they run away, because the person behind the mask is not what they want to see at all.

Under the extraordinary rule, everyone hides a monster behind their mask; everyone is hypocritical, a twisted and bizarre monster. Only by emptying ourselves of everything can we obtain the truth we desire and live out our true selves.

"so?"

"so……

Haha, hahahahaha! Our organization has absolutely nothing to do with those things. The name is simply because our leader has a personal aesthetic preference. Didn't expect that, did you?! I'm stalling for time in front of you!

The mask's lips curled up even higher, its laughter utterly unrestrained: "Now it's too late, everything is too late, everything is too late!"

Ria raised her hand and discovered that her skin was covered with countless unfamiliar characters, which looked like ants crawling across it.

The closer he got to this point, the calmer he became.

"I've never thought you were fools. On the contrary, you're very smart and would never do something like sacrificing the lives of the entire church just to annoy me."

I can influence a person's beliefs, but your true leader could completely ignore my insignificant abilities right now, but he didn't.

In other words, you were playing a trick on me from the beginning. The methods for quickly breaking someone's mind vary from person to person, but there's one method you've done very well. They influenced Ria's dreams. Sleep is extremely important for any living being. This seemingly ordinary thing can quickly restore one's energy. If they don't sleep well, they'll be listless all day.

Moreover, similar experiments had been conducted in the original world where Ria lived. In 1959, an American named Peter Tripp participated in the "200-hour sleepless" challenge.

However, he did not successfully complete the experiment.

On the third day alone, he became manic and irritable, losing control of his emotions, sometimes laughing loudly and sometimes crying bitterly.

On the fifth day, he went mad.

In the following days, he became lethargic and increasingly mentally unstable. The experiment was terminated on the eighth day, but it still left him with irreversible brain damage.

This is also why people who frequently stay up late have a higher probability of developing mental illnesses, such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

While the White Masks' methods weren't quite as extreme, they nearly deprived Ria of all sleep quality by influencing his dreams, constantly creating a sense of crisis in reality to put pressure on him, and even making him witness the deaths of countless people and the mutations of his own kind.

Such mental pollution, coupled with the ever-accumulating injuries that could not be easily eliminated, meant that Ria rarely dared to completely relax and relieve her stress.

Under these circumstances, they were finally able to choose when Ria was seriously injured to complete the final sacrifice. If they had gone to such great lengths just to give him a so-called name and a prayer, then Ria himself would have looked down on everyone in the White Mask Church.

"Whether it's to add a name to me or to add a true name to your original god, you know best."

“You don’t seem to trust us at all. How could we persecute our own gods?”

The white-masked expression gradually turned to sadness: "Accepting a new name is a big deal for a god, because it means the birth of a new divine office and the stripping away of the old god's office. It is a big deal from any perspective."

Why do you think that the insignificant lives of us can influence its succession?

We merely provided the conditions for certain interesting things to happen; it's you who will truly face them—

Great Faceless Lord and Lord of Trade!

As soon as it finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly darkened, layers of dark clouds overlapped, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a huge shadow seemed to appear behind it.

"BOOM!!!!!"

A flash of lightning revealed the shadow's enormous, menacing form, only to vanish into the darkness in the next instant, emitting a suffocating wailing sound.

The enormous sound mingled with the thunder, and gradually, a torrential downpour began.

Ria wanted to destroy the mask, but no matter what, the mask would reassemble and return to his hands.

Left with no other choice, Ria grabbed her mask and went outside to look at the strange phenomenon in the sky. When the white light streaked across the horizon, the figure above her had never seemed so familiar to her.

“I remember seeing Him in a dream…”

The faceless one is the faceless god.

"Yes! He is watching you now!"
