Chapter 2274: Anything can be delivered?
When Ye Zhongming arrived at the courtyard where the top-tier member gathering was being held, he was actually the last to arrive, so all eyes fell on him at the same time.
Fortunately, the Cloud Peak King was someone who had seen great spectacles and had killed a peak expert, so he walked steadily toward the only empty chair.
Coming last did have its advantages—at least the impostor knew where to sit.
After sitting down, Ye Zhongming swept his gaze across the room. There were twenty people in total. Even after he lowered his gaze, the image was imprinted in his mind. After carefully recalling it, Ye Zhongming gained a preliminary understanding of what the masks represented.
Among the twenty people in the room, half of them wore masks of a lighter shade than those of Ye Zhongming and the others, and on some inconspicuous places—such as the edges of the masks—there were additional faint patterns.
The other nine had masks almost identical to his, differing only in the length of the patterns, which at their convergence formed different designs representing different numbers.
The one on Ye Zhongming's face was an ancient character from some language, somewhat similar to traditional Chinese characters. Not many people recognized it nowadays, and Ye Zhongming had only learned it after prior research.
From 1 to 10, all were present today.
Ye Zhongming was a11, and his mask bore the number 1—so were the others a12 through a20?
