Chapter 1026 Clues
However, those freezing rays passed directly through the masked man's body, as if his body was an illusion, and had no effect.
"It's useless. Your strength is too weak. You are not even qualified to touch me." The masked man watched Lan Shi's fist and the person pass through his body. He stood there and continued, "If it weren't for this body being so old, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me."
As he spoke, the masked man's eyes fixed, and Lan Shi, Gaiman and others immediately returned to their standing state as before, completely unable to move.
"Since Frod did a great job, I will forgive your rudeness this time, but don't let it happen again." After the masked man finished speaking, Lan Shi and others immediately regained their freedom.
"This is the deal between you and our family. If you want the body, take mine and don't involve others." Lan Shi said.
"Lan Shi..." Gaiman wanted to pull Lan Shi away, but Lan Shi dodged him.
"Are you really willing to let me take your body? Do you know that although your body can continue to live, your consciousness will be completely erased. I don't need your consciousness." The masked man looked at Lan Shi with interest and asked.
"I can handle my own problems and don't need anyone else to do it for me. It's not that easy for you to occupy my body." Lan Shi said calmly.
"It seems that humans nowadays seem to be more courageous than before. Unfortunately, I have changed my mind. I want his body. Your body is no longer useful to me. What I have decided will not change. It is up to you whether you leave or stay, but I have decided to take his body." The masked man looked at Zhou Wen and said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know things would turn out like this." Lan Shi also looked at Zhou Wen and said.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly.
He has become accustomed to the feeling of being caught in a conspiracy. If a person has no wealth, then even if he appears in front of a bad guy, the bad guy will not want to plot against him because there is no profit.
But if a person possesses a huge treasure, no matter how far away he hides, there will always be people who will miss him. This is probably the reason why the saying "an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure" is true.
As Zhou Wen's abilities grew stronger, no matter how much he restrained himself, there would always be people who would keep an eye on him. This was unavoidable.
Of course, Zhou Wen can be open-minded, but that doesn’t mean he will forgive Frod.
"Since my life should have stayed here, I will stay here anyway. Even if I really go to hell, I don't think I will be lonely." Lan Shi said.
"I don't care if you want to go to hell, but I haven't lived enough. I want to live a few more years." As Zhou Wen spoke, his figure suddenly disappeared. He used teleportation and headed towards the exit of the garden.
But soon Zhou Wen discovered that the gate of the garden had disappeared, and there was nothing outside the garden, with no way to go.
"Only those I allow can leave here." The masked man said with a smile.
"Then, if I kill you, can I leave here?" Zhou Wen asked bluntly.
The masked man laughed. "Of course, you can kill me and leave here. Unfortunately, even the most powerful human is as insignificant as an ant in front of me."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Zhou Wen continued to pull out the bamboo sword.
"I'll fight with you." Lan Shi leaned over and said.
"Okay, I'll attack from the top and you attack from the bottom." Zhou Wen said.
"Okay." Lan Shi rushed over.
Zhou Wen was behind him, but he slapped Lan Shi on the back of the head and knocked him unconscious.
"Take him back and don't let him get in the way here." Zhou Wen hugged Lan Shi and threw him towards Gaiman.
Gaiman quickly caught Lan Shi and looked at Zhou Wen with a complicated expression. He said, "It's our family that's sorry for you. We didn't expect you... If you have any wishes, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you fulfill them."
Gaiman didn't know about this, but no one would be as carefree as Zhou Wen if such a thing happened to them. He even thought about Lan Shi and wanted to send him away.
"Don't thank me. I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. This matter has nothing to do with Lan Shi. He doesn't need to die with me. But you go back and tell Frod that I will definitely take back what he owes me." Zhou Wen said.
Gaiman didn't say much, just bowed deeply to Zhou Wen, then left the garden with Lan Shi.
In his opinion, there was no way Zhou Wen could escape alive. Facing the masked man who was as invincible as a god, they didn't even have the ability to resist and only had one way to go, death.
"I wonder if the demon baby can be a match for the masked man? But now that things have come to this, I can only give it a try. But I think it shouldn't be a big problem. I can't even see the demon baby's frightened state, but at least I can still see this masked man." Zhou Wen closed his eyes, not letting his gaze contact the mask, hoping to avoid his body being controlled and unable to move.
"Closing your eyes is useless. The influence of this mask is not on your eyes, but on your soul." The masked man looked at Zhou Wen with interest and said.
The way he looked at Zhou Wen was as if he was looking at a new car or a house, full of curiosity, but he did not regard Zhou Wen as a human being.
"Can I ask you a few questions?" Zhou Wen thought for a while and then spoke without opening his eyes.
"Since you are going to dedicate your body to me, I can try my best to answer you." The masked man did not rush to act, as if he was waiting for something.
"You participated in the last guardian battle, so can you tell me what the guardian is looking for?" Zhou Wen wanted to take the opportunity to find out some secrets.
There are so many powerful life forms in the other dimension, and they all want things on Earth, but until now, Zhou Wen still doesn’t know what they want.
"If you ask other guardians this question, even if you ask 99 of them, I'm afraid no one will know the answer. But you asked me, so you asked the right question. I am the only guardian among the 100 who knows the answer." The masked man's answer made Zhou Wen overjoyed.
"What is it?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I don't know what it is." The masked man replied.
Zhou Wen's eyes twitched, and he had the urge to slap him to death.
The masked man seemed to appreciate Zhou Wen's expression and said with a half-smile, "Of course I can't know, because even the leaders of those alien races don't know what they are looking for. However, there is a clue. There are not many guardians who know this clue, and I am one of them."
"What clue?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Companion pet, the most powerful companion pet." said the masked man.
