I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

"Protect the new god!" A cultist saw Reed running ahead and rushed to stop him.

Reid swung his left fist, knocking the cultist to the ground.

There are very few cultists left on the battlefield; most have died in the fighting.

Some of the rational ones have already fled, while the rest are the true fanatics!

These fanatics felt no remorse for their recent gloating and massacre of their fellow believers; instead, they wielded their weapons and killed even more fiercely.

"The Eye of the Hole, a Blessing in Disaster!" A cultist with bandaged eyes reached out and grabbed Reid with both hands.

But Reed's speed remained unaffected; when he turned around and saw someone grabbing him from behind, he knocked them down with a single punch.

The gloating man was still running wildly on his four mechanical legs when he encountered cultists along the way, who then used their weapons to saw him to death.

These cult members didn't intend to attack the gloating desire; rather, they wanted to help the gloating and stop Red.

But the gloating one still wielded the only remaining circular saw and cut it in half.

[Olympiad Math: Imprisonment] The mage who had led the way earlier raised his staff and chanted an incantation; the yellow crystal mage turned purple.

A beam of purple light struck the gloating figure in front of him, and his body suddenly emitted a purple glow.

Although Schadenfreude was still running, his speed had noticeably slowed down; Reed had always been a bit faster than Schadenfreude.

Now that the opponent has slowed down, Reed is closer to gloating.

"Ryder, catch this! Then drink it!" Rena held a bottle of potion up to a mage's wand, and the mage used magic to flick the potion into Reder's hand.

Reed took the medicine, removed his mask, and drank it.

Putting my mask back on, I found I could walk faster; it was like a speed potion.

The cultists could no longer stop Reed; they stood in his way and slashed him down with one blow!

Blood stained Reed's entire body, and the white clouds and sun in the sky gradually disappeared.

The white clouds turned into dark clouds, which blocked out a sliver of sunlight; it was about to rain...

Reed approached the gloating onlookers, gripped his knife, and prepared to strike...

[Smoke Grenade] As a round object was thrown, a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in Reed's view.

The smoke made it difficult to breathe and obstructed vision, causing Reed to miss his shot.

A cult member covered his eyes with both hands, rolling on the ground, coughing and screaming, "What is that? I can't breathe! My eyes!"

This smoke can also cause blindness, making it difficult to open the eyes. If Reed hadn't had his eyes covered with bandages, he probably wouldn't have felt so bad.

Because of the smoke ahead, Reed couldn't see the road, so he could only rely on his senses to keep pushing forward.

The soldiers and adventurers in the distance also saw the sudden appearance of the smoke.

What is that white smoke?

"Could this white smoke be one of that monster's abilities?"

"It's not a skill," Kerson interrupted the discussion, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He then replied, "It's someone else; someone is helping [gloating]."

Anlisa approached her minister and asked, "Minister Kesen, who is that person?"

Kerson thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, but its appearance is strange; I don't think any of you have noticed."

"I only noticed it by glancing casually into a corner."

One adventurer asked, "What does he look like?"

Kerson shook his head. "He was wearing a mask, and the mask he was wearing seemed to have many faces..."

Red covered his mouth and nose with his left hand, and he could feel someone throwing something at his feet.

No matter how far I walked, there was still smoke ahead, and I couldn't see the gloating figure anywhere, whether on the left or the right.

Reed's first thought was of cult members, but after thinking about it, he realized it might not be them.

Because during the battle just now, no cultists threw anything that emitted white smoke.

If the sun were still shining, one could barely make out some light through the smoke.

But now the clouds have blocked the sunlight, making the entire plain appear dark and even harder to see.

The soldiers and adventurers behind also tried to find out who threw the smoke, but even using spells and skills, they couldn't find them.

As Reed ran, he suddenly noticed trees appearing around him, and the white smoke gradually disappeared.

After the white smoke completely dissipated, Reed realized that he had been in a forest for the past few days.

Red looked back and saw trees and bushes behind him, but to his utter surprise, he saw the gloating figure still running ahead.

Reed hadn't lost track of them; he closed his eyes.

Red planned to close his eyes, hoping it would stop automatically as long as he didn't look at it.

Reed closed his eyes for two seconds, then realized something was wrong. He slightly opened one eye and looked ahead, only to find that the gloating crowd had moved a few centimeters further away.

That means there is still someone in the forest.

Reed probably already knew who the other person watching and gloating was—the one who was frantically throwing out white smoke.

When Reed looked around and then started checking the top of his head, he saw the person...

A person was standing on the tree trunk, wearing a trench coat that completely covered every inch of their skin.

He wore gloves, wild boar skin boots, and had short hair.

The strangest thing was that he was wearing a mask with many faces printed on it—smiling, sad, angry, loving, and all sorts of other expressions.

These emotional expressions form a mask, worn on the face.

The mysterious man noticed Reed's gaze, but his own gaze held a hint of schadenfreude.

Reed planned to deal with the gloating person first, and then kill the other one later.

Reed was about to take a step...

[Stealth and Backstab] A curved dagger plunged into Reed's back.

Reed raised his knife, turned his body, and swung it backhand.

They discovered there was nothing there after the cut, but the blood from the stab wound couldn't be faked.

Reed sensed danger on his right and dodged to his left.

Reed saw a flash of light from a blade to his right, and sure enough...

Reed raised his foot and kicked, but the kick hit an object.

A second later, a figure slowly materialized in the air, holding a curved, snake-shaped dagger in his hand and wearing a mask.

One hand clutched his abdomen, the masked face displaying a thousand emotions staring at Reid.

Reed was about to press his advantage and unleash a fatal blow when the mysterious man swiftly pulled a book from his hand.

The book turned its pages automatically, then a beam of blue light merged into the mysterious man's body, and the mysterious man disappeared.

Reed glanced instinctively at the tree trunk and found the mysterious figure still crouching there without making a move.

Reed picked up the pickaxe from his waist and threw it towards the mysterious man. The pickaxe struck the mysterious man, but no blood was drawn.

A wisp of white smoke rose from his body, and then the mysterious figure vanished.

"This is a clone..." Reed muttered to himself.

Therefore, the mysterious figure on the tree trunk was always an avatar, acting as a lookout to help the gloating villain escape.

The mysterious person who tried to ambush me just now must be my true form.

Moreover, this mysterious person could also become invisible, and after being kicked by Reed while invisible...

Then the true form was revealed, and as soon as the true form appeared, it clutched its abdomen.

This is because the passive effect of the Twilight Armor deals four types of minor damage every five seconds, so the mysterious person teleported away directly.

Reid had absolutely no idea who this guy was or why he was stopping him.

Reed thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up trying to avoid wasting his brainpower.

Red looked back in the direction the gloating figure had run off to, only to find that the gloating figure was long gone.

Reed was too lazy to chase anymore; the woods were so dense, he didn't know how long it would take to find them.

"Sigh~" Reed sighed heavily; he was extremely angry.

The damned abnormality could have been truly killed before. I couldn't kill it no matter how hard I tried at the company, but now that I'm in another world, things are different!

He had to have a strange, masked man appear to stop him.

Reed's hand, gripping the knife, trembled slightly before he swung it back and felled a large tree.

With a "bang," the big tree fell down, hitting another tree.

After standing still for a moment to calm down, Reed removed the greatsword and the pipe ornament from the Magic Bullet Shooter.

He went back with his hands in his pockets...
