Chapter 1496: Chapter 1496: Directly Face to Face

The elevator descended, and in the enclosed space, Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui’s heartbeats were very uneasy, knowing well what kind of person their opponent was.

So far, everyone had a clear understanding of past enemies, and even Lord Xiong’s identity had been revealed, but they had absolutely no understanding of the mysterious masked person.

Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui had encountered the mysterious masked person in ancient times. If this person wasn’t someone who had achieved perfect immortality and lived until now, then he must have time-traveled just like them.

Gu Fan had a premonition that this battle could reveal the true face behind that mask.

At this moment, Su Hui noticed that Lin Xi seemed nervous, which was uncharacteristic of her, so Su Hui asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Fan also noticed that Lin Xi’s expression was unnatural, wondering if Lin Xi was in poor condition after a tough battle.

To this, Lin Xi smiled slightly, shook her head, and said: "It’s nothing. I was just thinking, do we really have to fight the mysterious masked person to death? If we can, it would be better to talk."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan and Su Hui were surprised, since among the three, Lin Xi disliked the mysterious masked person the most, and now she was suggesting to talk.

There was a problem; Lin Xi’s unusual behavior aroused Gu Fan’s suspicion, so he asked, "Lin Xi, did you discover something?"

Lin Xi quickly explained, "No, I’m just worried that our fight with the mysterious masked villain will end in mutual destruction, leaving Organization X to reap the benefits."

"Oh, I see." Gu Fan also felt Lin Xi’s reasoning made sense, thinking it would be better to avoid fighting if possible.

The elevator doors opened, Gu Fan led the way into the underground laboratory, heading straight for Experiment Area 2.

"Another gloomy place." Su Hui, using a flashlight, observed several fallen bodies along the way, all dressed in Organization X’s attire, indicating a one-sided slaughter.

Lin Xi asked, "Does anyone know why the mysterious masked person took Li Shi? Could it be that he has feelings for Li Shi?"

To this, Gu Fan shook his head, "Who knows, maybe Li Shi being alone was a coincidence, making her an easy target. It could have been anyone else."

Su Hui proposed another theory: "Or perhaps Li Shi, like you Lin Xi, has another unknown special identity."

Lin Xi frowned: "Similar to my situation, it would require special methods to awaken Li Shi’s past life memories. But where would they find so many people born on the same exact day and year."

"Wait a minute, the mysterious masked person has brought a lot of people this time." At this point, Gu Fan felt a premonition that something significant was going to happen to Li Shi.

However, these were all just speculations, and Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui put these thoughts aside as they proceeded carefully, reaching the door to Experiment Area 2.

Gu Fan was about to shout, but before he could, the door automatically opened for him.

The trio then saw Ao Sai standing behind the giant door, seemingly waiting for Gu Fan’s arrival.

Gu Fan immediately asked, "Ao Sai, my friend, I’d love to catch up, but can you tell me if there’s a guy wearing a mask who led a group of people in here?"

Ao Sai nodded: "Yes, there is such a person."

"And where is this guy now?" Gu Fan eagerly hoped Ao Sai could provide an answer, making it easier for him to quickly find and rescue Li Shi.

Unexpectedly, Ao Sai refused, "Sorry, Gu Fan, the mysterious masked person, like you, has a mission bestowed upon him by the Super Civilization. So this time, I cannot help you. You’ll have to depend on yourself."

"Depend on myself? This place is so vast, how am I supposed to find him?" Gu Fan was somewhat worried, feeling that despite having the Destiny Stone Body Guard, facing the mysterious masked person might still pose a problem, especially now knowing that the mysterious masked man has a similar condition. Who would win was now uncertain.

Lin Xi then gently said, "Brother, you seem pretty reliable. I’ve heard from Gu Fan that you are the last person left by the Super Civilization in this world. I don’t think you would want to see Gu Fan and the mysterious masked person fight. Both of them carry the missions given by your Super Civilization, and harming either would not be ideal."

However, Ao Sai was indifferent: "Rest assured, the conflict between Gu Fan and the mysterious masked person is necessary, and I will not stop it."

"What does that even mean?" Gu Fan and Su Hui couldn’t understand Ao Sai’s stance.

Lin Xi remained very calm, briefly glancing at Gu Fan as if confirming something.

Gu Fan didn’t notice Lin Xi’s meaningful look. He was considering the next plan, how to expand the situation, and how to possibly bring down Organization X as well.

At this moment, Ao Sai noticed cameras installed on Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui, presuming them to be of Organization X origin. So Ao Sai mentioned, "These cameras won’t work here, I’ll interfere. But if necessary, Gu Fan, you can ask me to stop interfering."

"That would be great." Gu Fan already had a plan in mind.

Knowing Gu Fan well, Lin Xi asked, "What is it, are you scheming something? Hurry up and tell me so I can get ready."

"It’s not exactly a great plan, I’m not even sure if it will work." After saying this, Gu Fan glanced at Ao Sai again, hoping Ao Sai could provide a mask identical to the mysterious masked person’s.

Su Hui understood what Gu Fan intended to do - stage a scene making it appear like they had defeated the mysterious masked person, intentionally allowing Organization X to see this. This way, Organization X would surely be unable to resist coming down.

"Great plan, as long as the people from Organization X are fully mobilized and the defenses of the Tower of Darkness are weakened, others can be rescued." Just as Su Hui finished speaking, they heard heavy footsteps approaching.

"Someone’s coming!" Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui immediately tensed up, readying for battle. Who could it be?

Ao Sai expressionlessly stepped back, "Well, there’s nothing more for me here, I don’t want to be involved, good luck to you."

Gu Fan ignored Ao Sai, his eyes fixed on the approaching figure.

The mysterious masked person appeared with great confidence, standing with his hands behind his back, exuding a sense of supremacy. He spoke disdainfully, "Why make things so complicated? If you want Organization X to come down, I can help."
