"I never thought trash like you could get such a treasure!" Fu Bin stepped on the woman's palm and deliberately ground it with his foot. Floating Plankton formed tentacles that lifted the mask that had fallen to the side, washed it in the pool next to him, and then Fu Bin reached out and picked it up.

"Look, you've dirtied it with your filthy hands. Trash!" Fu Bin swung his longsword, composed of black floating creatures, ending another life. He then said to the Shadow Assassin not far away, "You're not going to interfere if I take the mask?"

"No, you've taken the mask, so it's yours. I'm just reminding you to find a host for it as soon as possible!" the Shadow Assassin said, looking at the dead woman, surprised that she was the first to be eliminated.

"Also, why do I feel that this mask is different from mine?" Fu Bin raised the mask in his hand, his eyes full of probing. He had many questions about this person who claimed to be the Mask Keeper.

"The mask you're using is indeed quite special; it possesses unique abilities. Those black substances you control weren't there from the beginning," the Shadow Assassin said calmly. "The other five masks are essentially Blank Slate without special abilities; the host has to fill in the gaps themselves. But the mask you're wearing had its abilities Solidification during the last Mask Battle Royale..."

"Mask Battle Royale?" Fu Bin laughed. "You seem to have never told me about this before."

"There is a peculiar connection between the masks. For example, when she approached this place, you immediately discovered her identity Mask Host. These connected hosts do not necessarily agree with other hosts. Whether it is due to greed or something else, Mask Battle Royale naturally breaks out."

"It's like you could never accept her true identity, that she could become the host of the mask, and that you felt insulted, so you killed her!" The Shadow Assassin said, pointing to the corpse on the ground.

Upon hearing the Shadow Assassin's words, Fu Bin's expression immediately changed, and he said coldly, "I killed her simply because she was trash. This is normal trash disposal, and it has nothing to do with whether she was the Mask Host."

"Perhaps!" The Shadow Assassin smiled, a rare occurrence. After Fu Bin left, he noticed the medical records and diary in the Shadow Assassin. He placed them on the table and sent an order to the Shadow Assassin monitoring Xiao Zhang: "Come here and bring these to Xiao Zhang."

In the hotel, the bright sunlight startled Xiao Zhang awake. He sat up, still wearing his mask, and looked around to make sure there was no one else around. He chuckled and scolded himself for being a hypocrite. He casually turned on the hotel TV and saw two books on the bedside table.

Frowning, Xiao Zhang picked up two books and started flipping through them. He heard news of the Apartment Blood Case in his ears. He looked up at the television, which displayed an ID photo of a girl who wasn't particularly pretty, but who looked exceptionally pure, like White Lotus. Next to her was a photo of Blood Script on the wall. "Filthy women deserve to die."

Looking at the details recorded in the diary, an uncontrollable Wrath began to rise in Xiao Zhang's heart. He felt that something sacred, something he cherished most, was being trampled on. The Shadow Magic had seeped into his body through the mask boiled under the influence of his Wrath, bursting out of his skin and igniting black flames, but it did not ignite the diary in his hand or the blanket beside him.

At Lu Li's Stronghold, Lilith, perched atop Black Cocoon, felt an unprecedented sense of security. Suddenly, she heard a series of sounds coming from inside the cocoon. The cocoon slowly parted, transforming into a massive shadow that revealed Lu Li's figure inside.

He had been inside the cocoon for a few days and now only looked a little thinner. Lilith's snake tail wriggled and approached Lu Li, letting Lu Li sit on her folded snake tail, and she massaged Lu Li with a flushed face.

Lu Li sensed the data transmitted from the mask, Shadow Magic flowed like an extension of his arm, passing through his left palm. A black flame ignited. This time, he had gained a lot. Of the Masked Man's Original Sin Ability, Lu Li had only specifically experienced the Giant Species and Beast Species abilities that Lilith herself possessed.

However, he discovered that the energy composition of the Giant Species and Beast Species was almost identical, except that there were some things that Lu Li could not understand. Lu Li believed that those things were the so-called original sin. Therefore, when Lu Li set up the Shadow Mask and injected Shadow Magic into the host, it would form the corresponding ability structure of the Original Sin Ability in their body.

Therefore, when the Shadow Magic fills the host's body, it already has the basic structure of the ability, but it lacks the part related to original sin. In this experiment, Zheng Long and Xiao Zhang both proved that as long as the corresponding emotions are filled in, the corresponding Original Sin Ability can be exerted.

When Xiao Zhang felt extreme anger, he mastered the flame abilities of the Flame Species, and the mask also transmitted the relevant data back to Lu Li. Now, Lu Li naturally knew how to ignite the Fire of Wrath.

Lu Li doesn't feel negative emotions, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have them. His negative emotions are always stored in a corner of his heart, and this storage is harmful rather than helpful. In the Merfolk instance, the Witch used methods to ignite them, causing Lu Li's emotions to completely erupt.

Even now, Lu Li still can't feel any negative emotions, even though he can Extraction a certain emotion from some stored corner of his mind, and he knows that this emotion is called anger, but he just can't feel it.

"In this way, these pent-up, useless emotions have a way to be released. Even if I encounter the Witch again, she won't be able to make me lose control!" The Flame of Wrath in Lu Li's hand suddenly intensified, but after a while they slowly died down. The amount of anger he had accumulated during this period had been burned away.

Just as Lu Li was eating the Lilith had made... Zheng Long also began his revenge journey. He wore a baseball cap, large sunglasses, and a scarf to cover his face with a mask. He was dressed in Studded Black Leather Armor, with a Chain Belt around his waist and a large bag on his back. He mounted his motorcycle, muttering to himself, "I'm the protagonist, I'm the protagonist, I'm the protagonist! I will definitely find him!"
