128: Chapter 122 Disguise 128: Chapter 122 Disguise Breakfast was over, and it was only nine o’clock.
Although I planned to sleep well in the afternoon for the special activities at night, there was still plenty of ti in the morning.
Luo Di suddenly rembered sothing, “Class leader, co out with for a bit.”
“Going out now?
I have no problem with that, but you have a little problem…
Try not to let the Sisterhood know that I’m moving with an investigator, or my identity might also co into question.
Moreover, you need a whole new identity for where we’re going tonight.
Why not try changing your image or giving yourself a new identity?
Of course, I’ll help you with your disguise a bit.”
“Perfect… The place we’re going this morning is exactly about disguises, let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
The weather today was slightly warm,
Luo Di wore a linen plaid shirt with cropped pants and canvas shoes, while the investigator’s clothes were temporarily stored in the single apartnt.
He also bought a baseball cap from the sidewalk to cover part of his face as much as possible.
Luo Di also began to try “disguising” himself by trying to beco soone else.
Firstly, what needed to change was his “external behavior”.
His previous walking posture was the standard posture he learned from elentary school physical education classes, which Luo Di actually didn’t quite like.
Now that he was changing habits, he might as well follow his true self,
Recalling the walking styles in movies, Luo Di also tried to change.
1.
“Shoulder width and arm swinging”
Initially, he needed to slightly restrain his shoulders, swinging his arms vertically along the seam of his pants.
Now, Luo Di completely expanded his shoulders, feeling his shoulders width had increased significantly, with the elbows slightly outwards, making the swinging of his arms more rugged.
2.
“Standing posture”
He no longer kept his body straight but leaned forward slightly, with a slight bend in the cervical spine, giving an intuitive sense of Hunting others.
3.
“Walking posture”
Unlike his once standard walk that was normal and tended towards lightness, every step he took now seed particularly heavy.
This was all learned from movies,
Though it seed imitative, it had already beco actions etched in Luo Di’s brain, changing them felt very natural.
And as Luo Di changed his walking posture, his entire montum also beca different.
Originally a sunny and cheerful boy, he imdiately beca a dangerous person that scread ‘stay away’.
The class leader was also amazed by such changes, these weren’t things one could simply disguise.
“Luo Di, I was saying, were you hiding a trick?
This disguise is just like the Murderer in the movies, you’re indeed a veteran actor!
No no, this is your truest self, what you usually wear is the disguise.
Great~ Next, just change your clothes, and do a little adjustnt to your face, and you can completely mark yourself different from ‘Luo Di’, ready to fully launch the plan to enter the Sisterhood!
Lalala~”
Today’s class leader seed unusually happy, humming a tune while walking in front.
Her palm was also casually swung behind her back.
Unfortunately, she received no response.
Luo Di was imrsed in his ‘first disguise’, feeling an indescribable exhilaration emanating from deep within his bones, his mind filled only with three letters.
The two took a bus to the comrcial street and entered a relatively secluded alley.
[Cerberus’s Curiosity Room]
The chanical Bird at the entrance welcod the two of them, and the owner was not seen behind the counter.
“Wow, this store is pretty nice!
There are lots of quirky little things.”
While the class leader was looking around, the store owner heard the noise and ca out from the inner workshop, adjusting his chanical glasses to get a clear look at the guests.
He recognized Luo Di at first sight, but the posture of the other party seed sowhat unfamiliar.
“Boss, is the mask ready?
Today should be exactly ten days.”
“You have co at the right ti, wait a few more minutes, and the inner rubber should be completely dry.
This lady doesn’t seem to be the sa one from last ti?”
When the owner ntioned this issue, the class leader, who was admiring the chanical Bird, imdiately turned around, took a step to Luo Di’s side, and took his arm to answer the owner’s question for him.
“I’m his girlfriend, the Ms.
Anna from last ti is a mutual friend of ours.”
The owner looked at Luo Di with so confusion, then waved his hand.
“Co in and try it on, the size and fit should be fine, mainly to see if there are any details that need to be adjusted.”
The class leader gently pushed Luo Di standing next to her, her fingers spread like playing a piano rhythmically, “Go on, I’ll wait for you outside.”
The narrow and crowded shop workshop.
Luo Di had just stepped in when his gaze instantly locked onto the special mask, hanging mid-air and undergoing hot air drying.
Just one glance was enough to confirm that his money was well spent.
The mask he had envisioned in his mind was ticulously and perfectly replicated, down to the last detail.
The mask was of a dual-layer structure,
a hard outer shell lined with a soft layer of leather.
When Luo Di put on the mask, which was still slightly warm, the soft inner leather fitted his face perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he unconsciously felt an urge to kill surge within him, but he quickly suppressed it.
His fingers gently touched the exterior hard shell of the mask, particularly over the pitch-black mouth area.
Owing to so profound recent experiences, Luo Di’s vision for the mask had changed slightly.
“Boss, the mask is exactly as I envisioned, no problems there…
but now I’d like to add so more details.”
The boss looked distressed, despising custors who revisited their requirents after the product was complete, “Hmm?
It will be troubleso to make changes now, what do you want to change?”
“It’s simple, just add sothing to the mouth area…
I’ll give you an extra 30% fee.”
Luo Di described what he wanted to add; indeed, the body of the mask did not need alterations, only simple additions which were easy.
“There’s no need for extra money, I’ve already charged you plenty.
But adding this, are you sure it’s appropriate?
Do you have such a requirent?”
“Just add a suitable-sized tal hook, I should be able to get it tonight, right?”
While speaking, Luo Di had already transferred the additional 30% fee; receiving the paynt made the other party take the job seriously and prioritize it.
“I’m not busy today, this small task is doable, co back in the evening.”
“Okay.”
Leaving the workshop,
Luo Di was visibly more excited than before, grabbing the supervisor and quickly leaving the shop, “Let’s buy so suitable clothes nearby, and stop wearing Wu Wen’s clothes.”
“I was just… alright, what about your mask?”
“So details need to be worked on, I’ll pick it up tonight.
By the way, the place we’re going tonight, is it okay if I wear a mask resembling a murderer’s?”
The supervisor smirked instantly, “That’s extrely suitable.
Most people there will be wearing masks, I’ll completely cover my face as well.
After all, it’s a place that should not see the light of day, nor public eyes.
Since you’re planning to wear a murderer-type mask, you must be planning to buy attire that matches the mask, right?”
“Yes.”
The supervisor tapped his head, “Isabella’s mories seem to recall a special store that provides costus for films; I’ll take you there.”
…
[Midnight 23:40]
A light rain began to fall over the edge of the coastal city,
According to the “Corner Law,” residents ‘not working’ and wandering the streets after midnight will receive a “Late Night Warning.” Receiving three warnings counts as an offense.
After all, staying up late is sowhat associated with psychological illness.
Most entertainnt venues would also shut down after midnight.
Surely, so entertainnt spaces situated inside large hotels are unregulated, and there are other underground locations unknown to the public.
In remote cities like Mingwang City, surveillance is relatively minimal, even the Investigation Bureau might neglect, only imposing restrictions when absolutely necessary.
Now, only twenty minutes were left until midnight,
Two strange figures walked down an alley,
One of them, a woman, wore long boots and was enveloped in a tight, pitch-black rubber suit that covered even her head, leaving no gaps for eyes and mouth.
Such a conspicuous rubber suit on the streets was hidden under a normal brown coat and a black umbrella completely shielding her face.
The other person, without an umbrella,
wore black carved Oxford shoes,
A large black leather trench coat covering the entire body, seemingly concealing the attire worn underneath and using the coat’s hood to completely cover the head.
Covering the special mask fixed on his face, a mask capable of inducing fear.
His manner of walking effortlessly emitted a sense of oppression, and with the ongoing drizzle, it was easy to imagine a rain-night murderer.
The two almost walked side by side, reaching the deepest part of an alleyway just before midnight.
Left of the alley end stood an iron gate,
No need even to knock,
As they approached, a round peephole on the door opened by itself, exposing a bloodshot eye nearly embedded in it, staring at them.
The woman unzipped the back of her head and revealed her face.
Click!
Identification verified, the iron gate opened.
