Chapter 27 The Actor’s Mask

Regarding drinking the magic potion.

Truman knew that the safer way was to seize the opportunity to drink at 12 o'clock in the evening.

The root cause of the potion's loss of control is that the user's 'share' has been emptied.

Truman has a super powerful 'share' recovery base on the earth. If he waits to drink it at the moment before time travel at 12 o'clock, the possibility of the potion getting out of control is extremely slim.

But it is also possible that the effect of the potion is suppressed by the power of 'order' on the earth, and it is unable to exert its best effect, or even stops taking effect, which means the gain outweighs the loss.

So, bear with it.

The severe pain lasted on Truman for who knows how long.

The 'steel needle' protruding out of the skin stretched longer and longer, and Truman seemed to have turned into a porcupine.

Truman couldn't even touch his face, despair spread in his heart, and for a few moments he even felt that he had turned into a monster like Anton.

but not!

As long as you can still think normally and properly measure whether your own sanity exists, it means that Truman's 'share' has not been emptied.

Then he is enough to withstand this transformation!

And Truman was mentally prepared. He had witnessed Anton turn into a monster, and he was afraid of it. It was only after overcoming these fears that Truman dared to drink this potion.

Slowly, the despair caused by the pain gradually subsided.

Truman was used to this pain.

When you experience it, you can feel a sign that the form of life is changing.

The 'steel needles' that turned him into a porcupine were softening and gradually turned into a mass of 'membrane' wrapping him.

A joy arose immediately.

In front of the eyes that were so painful that Venus appeared, dots of wonderful intentions emerged.

There is the vastness of the universe, the magnificence of life, and the ultimate perfect picture of everything brought about by the evolution of climbing to the top.

It's a huge right triangle that encompasses everything.

Is this the only one who exists in the end of this extraordinary world...

Truman glanced at the only existence.

The next second, Truman's consciousness suddenly returned to his physical body.

He was no stranger to the severe pain in his head at this moment, and the anxiety caused by the lack of reason. It was the feeling of the critical point where the 'share' was almost emptied. He had experienced it before when translating spiritual texts.

I also know how to recover, stay calm, live a normal life, and just wait for the time travel to return.

Enduring my headache, I looked at the time and saw that it was already 5 a.m.

His promotion took a full 4 hours.

Now, he was curled up on the ground. Except for a few clothes that were soaked with sweat and still damp, the environment of the entire hotel room was as usual, with no trace of damage.

It was like the thorns protruding from the skin and the pain all night long were all Truman's illusions.

But Truman knew it wasn't.

He felt that there was an invisible 'thorn' and 'membrane' covering him outside his body.

This layer of 'thorns' and 'membrane'... is Truman's extraordinary power.

And among these 'thorns' and 'membranes', there are some abnormal substances, which exist like 'bubbles'.

The number of ‘bubbles’ is small, but very active.

Once the 'bubble' is punctured, a diffuse 'gas' that can greatly enhance the 'acuity' of Truman's body and senses will permeate out.

Is this... the effect of the earth's biological injection?

Truman suddenly came to a realization: This will be the 'skill' I got from the earth.

Therefore, Truman hid these ‘bubbles’ deep in the ‘thorns’ and ‘membranes’.

Now, Truman opened his hand and gathered these 'thorns' and 'touches' into his palm, feeling as if he was holding a completely transparent mask.

This is the property of the 'actor' sequence.

It hasn’t become a ‘skill’ yet.

Because Truman has not completed the ceremony yet.

The workshop owner's evaluation of the 'actor' sequence is that the potion is easy to absorb and the ritual is difficult to complete.

…

The lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

The waiter at the Royal Oak Hotel noticed Truman.

This guest stayed in the room all day and night without leaving the house.

"Can I help you?" the waiter asked.

Truman hesitated between 'Can you refund the check-out fee' and 'It's okay'.

Finally, considering that the ceremony was not completed and something unexpected might happen, he smiled and shook his head.

Later, Truman noticed a bouquet of roses placed in the lobby, the delicate red color showing off the luxury of the Royal Oak Hotel.

In an era when common people could only live on hard bread and drink cheap beer as a luxury, roses were too lavish decorations.

"Do you know what I do?" Truman asked the waiter.

"I don't know." The waiter shook his head humbly, but he remembered Truman's muddy leather shoes when he arrived at the hotel yesterday. He was probably a businessman who had just gained explosive wealth.

"Actually, I am a magician." Truman picked up a rose, held it in his left hand, and blocked the waiter's sight with his right hand from top to bottom.

He used the unformed 'membrane' in his palm to cover the rose.

As Truman's palm moved, the rose disappeared little by little in front of the waiter's eyes. When Truman's hands crossed again, the rose had completely disappeared.

The waiter's eyes widened: "Amazing performance! Mr. Magician!"

This admiration flowed through Truman's consciousness like a glass of cold beer, refreshing him. From this, he could feel the sincerity of the waiter.

But that's not enough. What Truman needs is for 20 people to be amazed and amazed by his performance at the same time.

…

This is the busiest street in the city of Lunedin.

A department store with huge glass windows is located here.

It is seven stories high, even higher than the Habsburg. It contains all the goods you can imagine. As long as you can pay gold pounds, you can even bring the royal supplies home.

It is proud, prosperous, and magnificent. This city is the capital of this country, and this department store is the symbol of this city.

Ladies surrounded it, gentlemen spent all their money on it, and common people could only look at it from afar with admiration.

There are always some beggars and musicians on this bustling street, and today there is another magician. He is young, well-dressed, and has the mysterious temperament that a magic performer should have.

When he conjured a delicate rose out of thin air from his palm and gave it to a beautiful lady, the lady covered her mouth and let out a low cry of surprise.

Then he took out from his omnipotent hat an apple, a copy of today's newspaper, and the lunch that a certain lady intended to give to her husband, a typist.

The audience surrounding him in the street gave him warm applause.

"You can even go up to the Royal Opera House!" someone shouted.

Some people express disdain for this statement. Any magician can pull anything out of his hat. This kind of street trick is not uncommon.

The magician seemed to be inspired. He bent down and took off his hat to the audience. The audience did not realize at this moment what kind of wonderful performance they were about to witness.

The magician made an action as if he were taking off a mask from his face, and there was really a silver mask full of mysterious aura in his palm.

When he put the mask on the air around him, another magician appeared quietly in the air as if growing out of the mask.

Now there are two identical magicians in front of the audience.

All the audience sighed in surprise.

Violent applause broke out afterwards.

With the admiration of 20 people, the last few vacancies were immediately filled.

After completing such a performance, the magician accepted the cheers of the crowd like an emperor. At this moment, he suddenly glanced at the crowd, looked surprised, and left in a hurry.

…

There are two Trumen, one real and one fake, but ordinary people can't tell them apart.

This is one of two presentations of the actor's sequential mask form 'imitation' technique.

When Truman puts this mask on his face, he will gain the same concealment effect as the rose.

When Truman puts it on any object, including the air, he can transform into another version of himself.

Have the same ‘share’ of yourself.

When two people translate spiritual texts together, the work efficiency is doubled. This is one of the reasons why the 'actor' sequence is suitable for translating spiritual texts.

Of course, this mask has other wonderful uses, which will test the imagination of the extraordinary.

The most important professional characteristic of the 'actor' sequence is to imitate others, which has countless possibilities.

As for the reason why Truman left in a hurry just after a sudden glance in the crowd.

"I seemed to have seen Anton just now..." Truman said to himself.
