Chapter 136: The Man in the Mirror (Comic Content)
The amulet was hidden in the arms of Si Yu'an's clone. The cloth that was torn apart by the original body was roughly sewn together, and the wooden plaque engraved with ancient patterns was half hidden and half exposed there.
The replica was unable to use the amulet's positioning function, and naturally had no idea that a young man was quietly watching its movements in a corner not far away. Perhaps knowing that these four players were not so easy to fool, they seemed to have given up on replacing them and started waiting for something instead.
As alienation deepens, they become more and more like humans. The previously stiff demeanor became lively, and every time the parts of the body were completely solidified, their corresponding parts seemed to have real flesh and blood, and they grew granulation tissue vigorously like a blood-sucking worm absorbing nutrients. However, I don't know if there is a hot heart beating in that cold chest cavity.
"Si Yu'an" sat on the eaves, stroking the big sword it had copied. He seemed to dislike the colorful bright stones specially inlaid on the body. He picked them out one by one with his fingernails and threw them on the ground.
The barrage began to wonder whether the copied colored stones had any value.
"By the way, I'm still curious, why doesn't the cat have a clone? (Dumb)"
"I'm not sure... There are two camps at the moment. One says it must be due to the special body, and the other says it's the setting of the copy. I agree with the former (thumbs-up.jpg)"
"I feel like it's time to explain the cat's special body. There have been so many foreshadowings from the beginning until now, it's time to wrap up."
"I'm afraid of knives... But luckily, I have the high-level item that Brother Zhu gave me. The dagger that cuts through the dimensional wall gives me strength!"
"Yes, I feel like it doesn't matter even if something goes wrong in this instance. It won't be a big deal even if the two rescue teams are exhausted twice. Who knew the first prize from the Battle of Zhuolu would be useful so soon..."
"Hey, what will the clone's attitude be towards cats?"
…
It's a wonderful attitude.
Replica. This was the first time Qi Heng really saw their appearance. Both their temperament and appearance were almost the same as the originals. If he hadn't established a unique code with Si and An, he might have mistaken them if he saw them suddenly.
Alienation waits for no one. I always feel an itch in my lungs. The young boy touched his throat and coughed a few times, intending to use force to catch it off guard.
It is not easy to control the supernatural power with hands that have been completely solidified, and the condensed lightning always deviates from its trajectory. However, as long as the distance is close, these problems can be easily solved.
Logically speaking, avoiding battle and conserving physical strength is the most important thing. The amulet has lost most of its functions, and there is no need to take the risk to get it back.
But he had his reasons for doing so.
Comments flew in confusion as people expressed their incomprehension of the boy's behavior. In the comics, everything is already decided, and the contents below are revealed as the pages are turned one by one.
Qi Heng could not exert his full strength at the moment, so he planned to attack from behind. The purple lightning roared and condensed in his palm, wrapped around his wrist and waited for the opportunity.
With the swift wind, he rushed straight to the back of the replica. The hardened fist had a strong killing power. If it hit a person's face, it could knock out several front teeth. It was about to attack the clone's neck in the blink of an eye.
But "Si Yu An" reacted quickly.
Subconsciously, after feeling the intense murderous intent, it instantly leaned forward to avoid the attack, supported itself on the ground with its hands, turned its body over and kicked back, increasing the distance between the two.
"Si Yu'an" leaned forward steadily, raised his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him, and after seeing the person clearly, he blinked in confusion.
[You...] It seemed to be struggling to identify something, with its brows furrowed and its head tilted to stare, a big question mark appearing above its head, revealing its owner's puzzled mood.
So Qi Heng paused.
The young man stood up and slowly lowered his raised right hand. The lightning and thunder wrapped around it dissipated quietly after a moment. He tilted his head towards the replica as well.
"Eh?" The commentators were equally confused as they watched both sides tilt their heads.
[Why are you...attacking me?] 】
The first to speak were "Si Yu'an". The clone stood still and just stared at this "comparable" with a strange aura and asked questions.
I am no threat to you. 】He emphasized that accusing the other party of violating the principle of mutual assistance among the same kind.
Qi Heng stared at the replica quietly. After a moment, he took a step forward and spread his hands to show that he was harmless.
[It was not intentional.] 】The young man said softly,【I am just here to test you. 】
【test? 】
【right. 】He nodded,【It seems that you already have 70% of the original body's strength and have mastered most of his memories. Now even if the original body fights with you, it may not be able to defeat you. 】
"Si Yu'an" was stunned for a moment and raised his lips, obviously very pleased with his words. Replacing the original is the unshakable nature of the replica, and defeating the original means that they have acquired such strength.
Based on what the copy has always emphasized, what the replica has always wanted to possess is the souls of the players.
However, these guys who put so much effort into this actually have a very good attitude towards their own kind, even to the point of being easily deceived. Qi Heng was too lazy to think about why he was considered "the same kind", so he continued to speak under the barrage of incredulous question marks.
I hope to be like you. The young man pointed at Si Yu'an's healthy, blood-red hands, then raised his own. He was like a newborn who was unable to master his own abilities and sought help from mature seniors.
The replica nodded in understanding: [Okay. 】
How can I help you? 】
Qi Heng turned his finger and pointed at the glowing wooden sign on its chest: [I need this. 】
【Why? 】
[I grabbed another person's wooden sign. 】He explained, taking out his amulet,【There is some connection between these two objects. I can use this to get what I want and stop the original entity's actions. Of course, this can also help you. 】
[Perhaps, this will become an opportunity for your success, as a reward for your help to me. 】
"Si Yu'an" pondered. The boy looked at him quietly, waiting for his thoughts.
After a moment, "Si Yu An" nodded in agreement: [Okay. 】
It tore open the rough stitches on its chest, took out the wooden sign inside, and then threw it to the boy opposite.
Qi Heng took it with a smile. A faint sense of human-machine filled his body, making him look like a dummy covered with human skin. The comments on the comment board couldn't help but change the subject and began to praise his improved acting skills.
【Thanks. 】The young man tilted his head and smiled.
A truly unexpected success. It surprised the commentators.
"What?? So because of your special physique, you were recognized as one of the same species?? And you brought it back just like that?"
"Well, that's good! This way we don't have to fight and it saves time!! (Applause.jpg)"
"What kind of special physique is this?! Is there anyone who can analyze it? It's like his whole body is hacking."
"The last person who cheated has already been called brother, but the cat's physique is related to energy affinity. Maybe it's because the purity is too high that the replicant, who is also an energy condensate, mistook it for him?"
"Maybe...? Maybe this replica is a little bit stupid, and when it was staring at Xiao Heng, it thought to itself, "The smell is weird."
"That's probably it... The replica's structure just happened to be similar to Qi Heng's physique, so he was mistaken for him (it seems far-fetched no matter how I think about it, how can two different creatures be mistaken for each other??)"
——
At the same time, the other three had already reunited. Two of the teammates who had amulets were carefully sensing the boy's position, and finally changed their expressions after that position deviated to another position.
[This brat...!] 】Ye Yunhe glared and started cursing, [If he had told me earlier that the amulet was important to him, I would have gone to get it for him. Why didn’t he see how seriously he had been alienated? How could he stay in a space with such a high concentration for long? 】
【What? Xiao Heng went to get my amulet? 】Si and An, who were involved in the incident, asked in shock.
The brown-haired young man slammed the wall: [He has a special physique, can his body bear it? Those copies are fighting recklessly, just trying to delay time! 】
[Wait a minute, this is a little weird.] 】
Lin Muyu frowned and paid close attention. He felt that it was too quiet in this direction and it didn't seem like a fight was going on. So he held down his companion who wanted to run to support him: [Xiao Heng has a special physique. No copies of him were born in the copy. Maybe the situation is different from what we thought. 】
[Besides, I have reminded him so many times, Xiao Heng is not the kind of person who would joke about such things. Let's wait a little longer. 】
Si and An responded and began to pace back and forth anxiously. Ye Yunhe watched him pacing back and forth, rubbing his hand that was holding the wooden sign constantly, without stopping for a moment to sense it.
Fortunately, it is a good result. Not long after, the familiar direction changed, and the direction belonging to "Si Yu An" quickly rushed towards the central area, which made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.
[Having said that, I still have to give this kid a brain-smacking slap. 】Ye Yunhe snapped his fingers.
So when Qi Heng came to his senses after standing on the ground dizzy, he was greeted by the "loving encouragement" from his teammates, which made his forehead turn red.
The young boy shrank his neck and rubbed his forehead, and honestly recounted the scene just now with his hands on his hips under the three people, and stuffed the amulet that finally brought him home into Si and An's arms.
The brown-haired young man took it as if it were a treasure, and swore to protect it with his life this time, so he was also rewarded with a slap on the head by Lin Muyu.
[So the replica actually thinks you are one of its own kind...? 】Ye Yunhe touched his chin, [That's not bad, although this physique brings a lot of trouble, it has its benefits. 】
[Also, Xiao Heng is not using his supernatural powers smoothly right now. Fortunately, you don't have a clone, otherwise I don't know how to avoid your burnt-on-the-outside-and-tender-on-the-inside trick. 】
Si Yuan covered his forehead and sighed.
Lin Muyu smiled and said: [Okay, it’s the most critical moment now, let’s all focus. 】
With the cooperation of the four people, the woman has broken up with the man and has lost contact with him. She takes her medicine on time and has lost her out-of-control fuse and flammable and explosive emotions.
Lin Muyu told several people that after the crazy woman came to her senses, she took advantage of his inattention and banged her head against the wall and ended her life. A few minutes before her death, she was looking at him with tears in her eyes and thanked him several times.
Therefore, the person who causes the woman's death in the future will no longer exist.
The timeline has changed drastically and is no longer consistent with the original one. As long as we wait for the final changes in the central area, the cycle will probably be completely broken.
Now is the time to reveal. There was still half an hour before the murder, and they had already found the woman's trace. A woman with long curly red hair as bright as fire, wearing a white dress, was sitting in a cafe, sipping her coffee slowly.
She looked very good, with a rosy complexion and delicate makeup. She was completely different from before in her beauty and full of vitality and love for life.
The four of them sat in the booth to her right, ordered four cups of coffee and began to observe quietly. This time it was Lin Muyu who paid.
Ye Yunhe took the lead and rushed out with coffee in hand.
[Hello, is there anyone here?] 】The headset with perfect sound reception disguised as a Bluetooth headset was worn in her ears.【Sorry, there are no other seats. 】
The woman was stunned for a moment. She held the coffee cup and smiled generously at Ye Yunhe: [Of course...but the person I made an appointment with may arrive in half an hour. If you don't mind, you can sit here during this time. 】
Have a date?
The four of them pricked up their ears at the same time. The barrage also started to be filled with little ear emojis.
[Okay, I drink very quickly, half an hour is enough. 】
Ye Yunhe also smiled back. She sat on the cushioned sofa opposite and started talking like a familiar person: [Are you waiting for a date? 】
[No. 】The woman shook her head helplessly. She picked up the coffee, took a sip, and began to explain, "It's just my ex-boyfriend. We met by chance last time, so he has been pestering me with his phone recently. It made me a little distressed, so I planned to have it all clear with him today." 】
This is expected. After all, according to the damn nature of the copy, it will definitely not make the last link so easy.
The three people who were listening to the reply nodded and decided that no matter what happened, they must protect the woman's emotions, so as to prevent her from being finally eroded and completely alienated into a deformity, with her soul and the copy embedded in one and unable to be freed.
But Ye Yunhe fell into strange silence.
Her bright smile froze, her eyes fixed on the woman's hands revealed by her movements, and she was motionless for a moment.
The familiar diamond ring on the woman's ring finger instantly awakened all her memories, causing her originally leisurely mood to change suddenly, and unexpected panic filled her heart.
Why this diamond ring? The style and diamond have not changed, and even the bumps and dents on the ring are exactly the same as the one in the previous cycle.
She began to think furiously, her fingertips tightly grasping the coffee cup, almost knocking the handle off.
[Hey, the ring on your hand is so beautiful. 】
Ye Yunhe suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked the woman curiously. She covered her somewhat stiff mouth with the cup she raised, but her tone was still as warm as before.
She maintained her normal expression.
Could you tell me where you ordered it? 】
