Because a part of his personality was negated, Fu Bin's personality went to extremes. In a state of extreme self-blame, he eliminated his selfishness, causing Fu Bin to instantly transform himself into a "saint".

Lu Li, who had hidden in the distance, also became interested instantly, because at that moment, the Shadow Magic in Fu Bin's body underwent a change, and the structure of his body also Mutation slightly. He had even lost contact with the Shadow Mask.

Various black Plankton kept emerging from Fu Bin's body. He pressed his face in pain, removed the Shadow Mask, and black threads stretched between the Shadow Mask and his face Fu Bin painfully removed the mask and threw it aside.

White flames erupted from his body, burning away the black Plankton covering him. Fu Bin, panting heavily, wore a pained expression, and tears streamed down his face. He understood that many of his evil deeds were actually committed under the temptation of the mask, but he could not deny that they were indeed evil deeds he had done.

Fu Bin quickly stopped the white flames on his body. The energy in his body was converted from Shadow Magic. Without the support of the Shadow Mask, it rapidly decreased. However, the energy structure on one side of his body remained fixed and made a fleeting connection with some unknown entity.

"The power corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins, the Seven Virtues?" Lu Li thought, squinting. Although this shift seemed reasonable, it was too coincidental. Old Hu's actions were also strange. Had something else intervened?

At this moment, on the bridge riddled with holes, Fu Bin looked at the Black Face lying not far away, picked up a stone from the ground, and walked towards the mask. As if sensing what Fu Bin was about to do, the black mask trembled continuously, releasing a large amount of black Plankton, like black smoke, resisting Fu Bin's approach.

However, white flames erupted from Fu Bin's body once again, repelling the black Plankton. He raised a stone, about to smash it against the mask, when suddenly a ball of black flame flew over and deflected Fu Bin's hand. Fortunately, the white flames burning on Fu Bin's body prevented him from being burned by the black flames; only the stone in his hand was knocked away.

Fu Bin looked up and saw Xiao Zhang walking towards him. A look of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he still said earnestly, "Sir, I apologize for what I did wrong, but please don't stop me from destroying these masks. You'd better destroy the masks quickly too, as they can bewitch people's minds."

"You bastard, do you still want to pin all the blame on the mask?" Xiao Zhang's voice was exceptionally angry. His body involuntarily transformed into an elemental state. His reason was completely burned away, and all his anger erupted. He forgot that he still had to fight the Dark River BOSS, and he also forgot what Old Hu had said before.

"You destroyed my most precious thing, and now you want to stop us from becoming gods!" Xiao Zhang Avatar into Flame Giant, lashing out with a flaming whip. Fu Bin flapped his white wings, struggling to dodge. He didn't have much energy left and could hardly sustain himself any longer.

"Your heart has been clouded by anger. If I could, I would do anything to atone for my sins, but please, please remove your masks cleanly and destroy them." Fu Bin's energy structure dimmed, and he finally could not support his own power. He fell from the sky and was pulled into the hands of Xiao Zhang, who had transformed into Flame Giant.

Just as Fu Bin was about to be killed by Xiao Zhang's movements suddenly froze, and all the flames dancing around his body were frozen. Bing Bing withdrew her jade-like hand from behind Xiao Zhang and rescued Fu Bin.

Fu Bin thanked Bing Bing, then noticed the masked people and said sincerely, "I'm not trying to shift the blame to anyone. Although I was tempted by the mask, I did commit those crimes myself. I'm willing to let you deal with me as I atone for my sins. However, there's something wrong with that mask. Please take it off immediately."

Lu Li sensed what was happening on the bridge from afar and chuckled, saying, "This can't go on. Fu Bin has completely broken out of the script. The Sloth possession scene originally arranged for him can no longer be performed. It seems that we have no choice but to take action ourselves and correct the script. So, my Hatred, it's time for you to make your appearance."

"Then, I'll take my leave first." Lilith, the Snake Woman beside him, bid farewell to Lu Li with a reluctant expression, and then leaped into the Wu River. Beneath the turbid water, a huge sound seemed to flash by. Lu Li also narrowed his eyes and transferred part of his will to the mask on the bridge.

Looking at Fu Bin, who had changed so drastically, Luo Yan thought for a moment and then placed her hand on the mask on his face. However, a strong sense of reluctance rose in her heart. The mask brought him extraordinary abilities, and having already experienced the feeling of being extraordinary, who would want to turn back?

"Fu Bin is just lying to you. Look, even without his mask, he still has his abilities. But you're different. Without your mask, you'll just become that despised so-called mental health worker again." A voice seemed to whisper in Luo Yan's mind, pounding at his heart. He saw the Dark River in the distance, which remained motionless for some reason, and then he found an excuse for himself. "There's still danger now. I'll take off the mask after we get through these dangers. I've already worn it for so long, what's a little longer?"

Consoling herself in this way, Luo Yan lowered her hand, letting the mask remain firmly pressed against her face. Fu Bin shook his head and smiled bitterly at this sight, realizing that most of these people had been deceived by the mask, even Luo Yan, who was closest to him. Those who had a grudge against him would be even less likely to listen to his advice.

Just then, the black mask that had been discarded to the side released a large number of Plankton. These black smoke-like creatures coalesced and transformed into a pitch-black human form.

"What a surprise, I didn't get the body I imagined." The person made of Plankton was naturally Lu Li. He said with a regretful tone, "Gentlemen, nice to meet you. I am the winner of the last Mask Battle Royale. You can call me Sloth."

"Sure enough, when I used the Plankton to probe Fu Bin's memories, I unexpectedly learned that the true wielder of the mask was not Fu Bin, but those Plankton. I suspected that Fu Bin was just being used." Old Hu thought to himself, while recalling the intelligence he had recently gathered. He had not found any similar events of Mask Battle Royale had occurred there.

"So you're one of the masterminds behind this, aren't you?" Old Hu thought to himself, then suddenly spoke up, "This Mask Battle Royale is full of suspicious points, and that so-called Shadow Clan member over there... no need to keep pretending. Based on your previous denials, I already know you're not dead. You're in cahoots with that King of Fear and that Sloth, aren't you?"
