It Was You!!!

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you guys to actually be so capable, managing to eliminate all the other competitors." Old Hu heard the screams coming from Xiao Mi behind him, accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter.

He turned around with difficulty and saw a person. His slightly dazed mind quickly registered the person's identity. "Li Yuanfeng, it really is you. I knew you would ruin things."

Old Hu looked sadly at Xiao Mi lying on the ground. He had a large gash on his head, and blood was flowing out continuously. Although he was not dead yet, if he did not receive treatment, he would probably die soon.

Li Yuanfeng arrogantly shouted, "So what if you know? You can only obediently wait here to die. As long as I kill you all and take all the masks, I can become a god. At that time, I can truly succeed and obtain everything in this world."

"The Mask Battle Royale is a sham. Even if you collect all the masks, it will only bring down the Evil God once again. You, the Mask Host, are just tools they are using. It's not too late for you to turn back now. You just want some fame and fortune. As long as you're willing to let go, I, as a senior member of the Countermeasure Bureau, guarantee you that you will definitely get what you want."

Old Hu's tone was firm and sincere. He was telling the truth. Smart people know when to lie and when to tell the truth. Old Hu had read their files and understood what Li Yuanfeng wanted. Trying to play tricks now would only hurt himself, so he had to make them understand.

Old Hu's sincere words, combined with his charisma, made his sincerity seem tangible and easily felt, which surprised Li Yuanfeng. Then he sneered, "I don't need charity."

"I will take what I want myself. I will not hand over the initiative to you. If you go back on your word, I will be the one who suffers." Li Yuanfeng was particularly determined now. After all, he had just graduated from school and still had the pride of a student, lacking the shrewdness of an adult. Therefore, he would rather choose the riskier option.

"Give up, I've made up my mind. I won't listen to anything you say. Fine, I can't let you stall for time any longer. I'll just kill you first!" Li Yuanfeng said through gritted teeth, his body suddenly swelling up as he walked towards Old Hu.

Bing Bing, who was some distance away, had obviously noticed what was happening and tried to retreat, but she found that the Giant Snake was extremely fast. Taking advantage of her distraction, it instantly slithered over, biting her shoulder and then Bing Bing her body. This Giant Snake was raised by Lilith since she returned to the real world. It had been hidden at the bottom of the Wu River and grew by being injected with Healing Potion by Lilith every day. Its purpose was to impersonate Hatred.

Originally, Lilith was to personally take on the role of Hatred, but Lu Li felt that the people from the Countermeasure Bureau were too dangerous. So, since it was just a finishing touch, he let the Giant Snake that Lilith had raised serve as a substitute.

Bing Bing was entangled by the Giant Snake. If she froze it directly, she would also be bound by it once the Giant Snake froze. Feeling the Giant Snake continuously injecting something into her bitten shoulder, Bing Bing knew something was wrong. She couldn't care less about anything else, so she first froze what the Giant Snake was injecting, and then grabbed the Giant Serpent with both hands. In just a few seconds, the entire Giant Serpent stopped moving, and its blood was completely frozen.

But now Bing Bing is also trapped on the snake's body. Looking at Li Yuanfeng who is getting closer and closer to Old Hu in the distance, Bing Bing is extremely anxious. Then she narrowed her eyes and saw Xiao Zhang, who was also frozen by her.

An idea immediately formed in his mind. Before being frozen, Xiao Zhang had completely lost his mind. He wanted to vent his Wrath, and as long as he came into contact with the ice, the Flame Giant that Xiao Zhang Avatar would launch an indiscriminate attack. Although this was like drinking poison to quench thirst, it could buy him some time.

Then Bing Bing had an idea and released Xiao Zhang from the ice. The sweeping black flames burned fiercely again. Xiao Zhang's reason disappeared, and the purpose of the hoodie he was now in was to vent his anger. So Xiao Zhang immediately began to choose a target for his rage.

Bing Bing used Freeze again, freezing the air around her to prevent the Flame Giant from targeting her. So, the only survivors who could become targets were Li Yuanfeng and Old Hu.

The Flame Giant roared and charged directly towards the two of them. Li Yuanfeng looked up at the Flame Giant, snorted coldly, and suddenly his body swelled up. Then he jumped back, making way for the Flame Giant.

Old Hu smiled bitterly as he watched the giant charging towards him. He understood Bing Bing's thoughts. He wanted to dodge, but his severely injured body was unable to move. He could only watch helplessly as the Flame Giant rushed up to him and grabbed Old Hu by the neck.

The scorching black flames burned away human life, and the terrifying heat invaded Old Hu's body. Old Hu looked up at the sky. He should have died here a year ago, but he wanted to die with value.

Back then, the Director used his life to stop the Evil God's descent and save his own life, so I can't fall too far behind. Black smoke billowed from his throat as his internal organs were being set ablaze. Looking at the enraged Flame Giant, Old Hu smiled slightly.

A violent flash of light appeared. Old Hu disregarded his life and activated his strongest illusion technique. Illusions can be so realistic that they can deceive people by using fake things to replace real things. First, he used illusions to repair Xiao Mi's wounds with fake blood vessels and skin. Then, he used a fake displacement illusion on Bing Bing. Finally, he imitated the self-destruction of a team member a year ago.

The Flame Giant's body structure was directly blasted apart, a mask with some scratches fell onto the bridge, and Old Hu's upper body flew off the bridge like a rag, drifting away into the distance with the river.

Thanks to the toad inside his stomach, Old Hu hadn't died on the spot. He could clearly sense how many seconds he had left to live. He thought that perhaps with good luck, Bing Bing and Xiao Mi could both survive. He just hoped that the two of them wouldn't have too much psychological pressure, especially Bing Bing, and that she wouldn't feel the same way he had in the past, forever guilty for causing the death of the Director.

"The river is really rushing, just like my fate," Old Hu laughed. But it didn't matter how fast it was rushing; he was tired and could go see the old Director now. He would leave the rest to the younger generation.

Suddenly, Old Hu's eyes widened as if he saw something. On the riverbank, a man wearing a dark green plaid shirt and black casual pants, with a handsome face and shoulder-length black hair, was walking towards the bridge, holding an Oil-Paper Umbrella.

"It's you!!!" Old Hu wanted to say something, but in the end, his lifespan came to an end, and he fell into the eternal silence of death with immense anxiety and fear.
