Chapter 1025 Masked Man
After the man came out of the grave, he looked no different from a living person. Even with the ability of listening, it was impossible to tell whether he was a human being or not.
Snap!
The tombstone shattered, and the mask embedded in the tombstone floated up by itself and floated in front of the man.
The man glanced at the mask and muttered to himself, "Is it finally going to start again?"
After saying that, he picked up the mask and slowly placed it on his face. The strange mask stuck to his face, as if it had merged with his face.
It doesn't look like he is wearing a mask, but rather like the mask has grown on his face. The feeling is extremely weird.
After the man put on the mask, Zhou Wen immediately felt his body regain its freedom, and the same was true for Lan Shi and the others.
"I asked, you answered. Now you can speak. The rules here will no longer kill you for speaking." The masked man said calmly.
"You... who are you?" Lan Shi asked, staring at the masked man.
Although he couldn't move before, he was obviously able to observe the masked man's face. He was more puzzled than anyone else as to why the masked man looked exactly like him.
"Are you Frod's descendant?" The masked man did not answer his question, but asked instead.
"Yes, we are all descendants of Frod. Who are you?" Gaiman asked, staring at the masked man.
"None of you are, only he is." The masked man slowly raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Lan Shi.
"What do you mean, sir?" Lan Shi asked, staring at the masked man.
"Frod and I have an agreement that he will give me his offspring, and you are his offspring." said the masked man.
Although what he said was very strange, Zhou Wen believed it a little bit, because Lan Shi was not supposed to come for this operation.
Lan Shi had never contracted a mythical companion pet before, and he had just been injured. In addition, his identity was special, so it seemed that he should not take the risk here.
However, Frod let Lanshi participate in this operation, and even contracted a mythical companion pet for him.
Originally, Zhou Wen thought that Frod wanted Lan Shi to carry out this mission in order to train her and give her more experience.
Now it seems that it is not that simple. Maybe what the masked man said is true.
"What are you talking about? There is no such thing. We are all Frod's blood relatives. Even if he really had some deal with you, it shouldn't be Lanshi." Gaiman blocked Lanshi behind him, but his expression was a little strange.
Although Gaiman's words were very firm, he, like Zhou Wen, was very doubtful in his heart.
"No, you are not. The blood in you is only the blood of Frod as a human. It means nothing to me. Only he has the blood of the non-human Frod. He is the body I need." said the masked man.
"Nonsense, he is my grandson, and I am Frod's son. In terms of blood, Frod and I are naturally closer. Who are you? Why do you make up these lies?" Gaiman summoned his companion pet and signaled Lanshi and the others to retreat, wanting to leave the garden.
"The bloodline I'm talking about may be a little different from what you understand, but it doesn't matter. It seems that Frod didn't intend to give it to me." The masked man said, his eyes shifting to Zhou Wen: "It seems that in order to exchange his bloodline, he prepared a better body for me."
When the masked man started talking, Zhou Wen had already realized that he might have been tricked by Frod. Now after hearing what the masked man said, there was no longer any doubt that he had indeed been tricked.
"Who are you?" Lan Shi stared at the masked man and asked again.
The masked man replied calmly, "I am not a human. I am a guardian, the guardian of the maze of lies."
"How is that possible? You are just a human being. Besides, the guardian of the maze of lies has been killed before." Lan Shi naturally didn't believe it.
The mask on the masked man's face actually looked like a human face, revealing a somewhat evil expression: "I only said that I was the guardian of the maze of lies, but I didn't say I was the current guardian."
"You said I am a human, and that's true, because only by combining with a human body can I have the possibility of growing in this world. But making a contract with a human is too troublesome, and I also need to take care of those weak humans. I hate trouble, so I chose to combine with a human body and let everything be in my own hands." said the masked man.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that this masked man was the exact opposite of Wang Mingyuan. Wang Mingyuan absorbed and fused the guardian with his human body.
However, the masked man absorbed and merged with humans using the guardian's body. The foundation is the same, just rebellious.
"Are you the guardian of the last guardian war?" Zhou Wen interrupted and asked.
"I guess so." The masked man continued, "Although fusing with a human body has freed me from the constraints of this world's power over outsiders, I also have to face another problem. The human body is different from the guardian's. The guardian's body will not age, but the human body will age and die. I don't want to die, so I must change my body before I age. So I reached an agreement with Frod. I helped him get what he wanted, and in return, he would give me his bloodline as my new body. As agreed, you finally came to me."
As he spoke, the masked man glanced at Lan Shi, then landed on Zhou Wen, and didn't move his gaze. "Frod has put a lot of thought into this. Originally, his bloodline was the most suitable for me, but I didn't expect that there would be such a body among natural humans. I accept this effort. Go back and tell Frod that I accept the body. The agreement is over."
Lan Shi, who was originally retreating, stopped when she heard this. She stared at the masked man and said, "Don't tell me I don't believe such a thing happened. Even if it did happen, it has nothing to do with others. This is an agreement between you and our family. Don't implicate others."
The masked man laughed when he heard this. "Are you going to let Frod down? He brought so many people in to save you, hoping that I could choose another body. This is your only chance to survive. If I don't choose him, then you will definitely die."
"Lanshi, let's go." Gaiman pulled Lanshi back.
Lan Shi suddenly summoned her companion pet, wearing its armor, and punched the masked man: "Then you try to see if you can take over my body."
Gaiman was horrified, but it was too late to stop it, so he had to cooperate with Lanshi in the attack.
Gemar and two other people from the Ultimate Family also launched an attack together. Their mythical companion pets mostly had freezing abilities, and various freezing rays bombarded the masked man.
