The End of the World: Chaos

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining Loki's mask!" Like a breeze passing by his ears, the system's voice was deep and mysterious, interrupting his meditation.

"Loki's mask?" Yang Yi's heart suddenly trembled, doubts and expectations intertwined, he couldn't help himself, and various images of Loki flashed in his mind: the cunning villain in Norse mythology, or the cunning and sinister villain in the Marvel universe. He couldn't help but shake his head, trying to sort out his complicated thoughts.

"If this thing is really useful, I will have a great opportunity in the future!" He said to himself, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, breaking the silence. Yang Yi immediately hid the mask behind him, alert, and seemed to be shrouded by an invisible pressure. The door slowly opened, and his best friend Lin Feng walked in, his face looking unusually solemn.

"Yang Yi, what are you doing here?" Lin Feng looked around, and his eyes finally focused on Yang Yi, as if he had seen through his thoughts.

"Nothing special, just strolling around occasionally." Yang Yi pretended to be calm, with a sense of ease in his demeanor.

"You are always like this. You have something to hide but you insist on hiding it." Lin Feng sat down, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to see through the secrets in Yang Yi's heart. "You look so nervous, you must have discovered something?"

Yang Yi was slightly annoyed, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to reveal half of the truth. "I just took out an item called Loki's Mask." His voice was low and slow, as if he was subconsciously hiding something.

"Loki's mask?" Lin Feng's eyes sparkled instantly. "That is a legendary divine object! It is said to grant the wearer great power and cunning, and can even change his fate!"

"But I don't know what this thing is used for." Yang Yi said distressedly, "The last time I drew nothing, nothing was useful, and I can't help but feel worried."

Lin Feng shook his head, revealing a hint of contempt, "How can you be so negative? If you say this is Loki's mask, how can it be simple? Try to explore its origin and power, maybe you can get a clue."

"What you said makes a lot of sense." Yang Yi nodded in agreement, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, "Why not look it up online, or ask those who are knowledgeable about the supernatural."

"This is a great idea!" Lin Feng stood up immediately. "Let's go immediately and go to the library first, or ask the little witch for advice."

The two hurried out, crossed the noisy streets, and finally came to an antique bookstore. The bookstore was filled with a heavy historical atmosphere, and the bookshelves were filled with dusty ancient books, which seemed to hide countless secrets. Behind the counter, an elderly man was glancing at them, as if he knew many unknown stories.

"Boss, I want a book about myths and legends, especially Norse mythology," Lin Feng pleaded.

"It is not easy to find what you want." The old man smiled slightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly after thinking for a moment: "Well, I have a book that details Loki's story. You can borrow it for a while."

Yang Yi and Lin Feng looked at each other, both understood, and nodded. The old man took out a thick book from behind the bookshelf. The cover clearly depicted the image of Loki, which seemed to bring the two into a mysterious realm.

"This book records in detail the story of Loki, his mask, and many mysterious powers." The old man stared at Yang Yi with a sharp gaze, "However, you must be extremely cautious when using these powers."

"Thank you, we will be careful." Yang Yi took the book gratefully, feeling very excited, as if he had glimpsed some opportunity in the future.

After returning home, Yang Yi and Lin Feng couldn't wait to open the book, and the words were full of the answers they longed for.

"Look here," Lin Feng pointed to the page, "Loki's mask has two significant functions: one is that it can disguise itself as someone else; the other is that it can grant the wearer unparalleled wisdom in special circumstances."

"Disguise? This sounds very exciting," Yang Yi's eyes brightened instantly, and he thought to himself, "If I can disguise myself, I can easily get to the place I want."

"However, you must be careful when using this mask. There may be backlash after using it, which may increase the risk of split personality." Lin Feng's voice suddenly tightened, extinguishing the enthusiasm in Yang Yi's heart.

"Although there are side effects, I still need to try it." Yang Yi held the mask tightly, thinking in his heart how to use the power in it.

At this moment, Lin Feng's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it hastily, frowning slightly, "It's Xia Yuzhi calling."

"Xia Yu?" Yang Yi thought for a moment, as if he remembered something, and then asked, "Is she a classmate of our school?"

"That's right. He seems to have encountered some troubles recently and wants me to go and help him." Lin Feng put down his phone, hesitation showing on his face.

"I want to go with you too." Yang Yi took the initiative to suggest, "It just so happens that I also want to know what she is thinking."

"Okay, let's set off quickly." Lin Feng nodded in agreement, then he and Yang Yi joined hands and ran towards Xia Yu's residence.
