The National Teacher did not answer him, already completely immersed in the chilling scene that still haunted him.
He spoke, "Those faces hadn't seen the light for a long time. Even the moonlight at night was unbearable for them. When I suddenly took off the mask, they seemed taken aback, squinted their eyes, and fell silent.
But after a moment, when they realized it was me, they began... to call my name." I was stunned.
I once said that I had never seen a scene more terrifying than thousands of people falling from the sky and burning to death in a sea of fire, but the sight before me was a million times more horrifying!
"My hand that held the mask trembled uncontrollably. If my whole body hadn't gone stiff, I would probably have dropped the mask and woke the Crown Prince. Those three faces seemed eager to tell me something, their mouths moving frantically, yet they lowered their voices, as if afraid of waking the Crown Prince."
I saw their expressions twisted with disgust and fear, but couldn't help but want to know what they wanted to say.
