Another Encounter (2)

"Why young'uns are so impolite these days?" Supreme Elder sighed. "All those questions are appropriate if I direct them to you. And you know why."

He then looked at the lustrous talisman in his hand that the silver mask man had called before. The man hadn't used it yet, so it's still shining brand new.

"You suppose to deliver an emergency message through this paper, huh? Should I try it while tracing where it goes?" Supreme Elder chuckled.

"Hah! Try it if you're so eager to go to the afterlife." The silver mask man sneered. Then, he slightly nodded his head.

"Activate the array!" He shouted while all the black-robed men backed away.

Soon, a dark dome covered the area where Supreme Elder stood. Strange characters floated on the wall as several lines went to one joint in the middle of the dome.

Supreme Elder watched the dome fully activate. He could not see the outside world, for it was total pitch-black when the dome was fully built.
