Vol 13: Chapter 5-4.

The Mummy's world had so many bonus missions that maybe the rumor about the seven crystal skulls leading to the technologies of Atlantis was real. Though they had no clue about this bonus mission.

”The main characters are such trouble makers no matter where they go.”

Early morning of the next day. Everyone came before the altar within the ruins of Hamunaptra. Zheng was still discussing the golden mask mission with Xuan.

Xuan said. ”Have you seen the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure? The beginning of the story referred to a golden mask that can turn people into vampires. These vampires don't age or die as long as they obtain enough blood, but they are countered by sunlight and silver. If this is the same mask then I can be certain of a fact.”

*Stone mask from Aztec in the manga

Zheng asked in confusion. ”What fact are you talking about? Just make it clear.”

Xuan shook his head. ”Revive the members first. I will continue later.”

Zheng had no choice but to nod. After Kampa and WangXia came near the altar, he brought out the Book of Amun-Ra. Following the notification from God, he asked if the cost of revival can be contributed by multiple people.

(It's possible! Which means...)

The reply from God made his heart beat faster. They each contributed 4000 points and the rewards as planned, enough to revive two people this round.

”Revive Zero.”

A group was running toward Hamunaptra in the desert. Zero lay against a stone pillar shooting at the group. He replied to a man next to him then a needle passed through space and pierced into his heart. The Gauss sniper rifle fell to the sand.

Inside a lavish mansion. A little boy was laughing happily. Next to him were a man and woman with gentle smiles. An armed group charged into the mansion. He witnessed a bullet shot through his father's heart while a man grabbed his mother. The blood from his father splashed his face.

He spent all his time studying and training himself until he became an assassin that couldn't smile anymore. He returned to this mansion of despair. That shameless woman was not there anymore. She died many years back. In her place was a beautiful girl yet also his little brother. What was ironic was genetic sexual attraction made him fall in love with his brother. So he killed him, killed that man, then prepared to kill himself.

Zheng received these images as Zero appeared on the altar. He took a deep breath and buried them in his memory. He suddenly realized that he had the most pointless reason out of everyone. He came to this world because he couldn't see hope in the real world. Whereas for everyone else, the real world was a place of despair.

Zero opened his eyes and tensed his body. He was always so cautious. When he saw Zheng, he let out a sigh of relief. But Xuan and Kampa made him look slightly confused. His hand reached for his heart. There was no trace of being pierced by a needle.

Zheng stared at Zero then asked. ”Will you still fight alongside me?”

”Until death!” His answer was succinct.
