Er's father was yelling at Lu Fei with his phone in hand. Er's mother slapped him. "What's wrong with you? I told you to contact our daughter first. What if she's in a bad situation? Wouldn't you be exposed?" She opened the chat window with Er Yi and said, "Where are you? Send your location to Mom."
After their thoughts became clearer, they could easily tell the difference between the two based on their memories.
"No wonder she suddenly changed her chat account a year ago. Although her tone is pretty much the same as usual and she's been very well behaved, I still feel like something's off." Er's mother sifted through the chat history. "I'm just saying it's her punctuation and line-ending habits that are different from hers."
A middle-aged couple sat in the cozy living room of their three-bedroom apartment. On the wall were photos of their only daughter, along with various small awards. From infancy to graduation, the most recent was a group photo taken during the Lunar New Year earlier this year. But the photo was stuck to the wall, distorted, as if someone had just tugged at it.
Seeing that the other party hadn't replied for a long time, Er's father angrily put his phone on the sofa and said, "If the flights weren't suspended, I would go there right now. No, I'm calling the police."
"Wait a minute." Ermu opened the chat window, which showed a location navigation. Then a voice message came in: "I'm home, nothing's wrong. How about you guys? Is there enough food at home?"
"It's Yiyi. Why is this address the same as that impostor's? Could it be..." Er's father came over suddenly and said, "What else did she say? Ask her if she was kidnapped."
"How can you ask that? If he's really been kidnapped, he'll probably be killed if you ask that?" Er's mother replied clearly, "Your dad misses you. Let's start a video call."
Er's father reached out and pulled down the latest photo hanging on the wall. "This fake looks exactly like Yiyi, and she even dared to come home. She's really brave. The plastic surgery industry is terrible these days. She can make them look this similar."
"I said she never had any acting talent when she was a child, and she was shy when there were many people around. How come she is on TV all of a sudden? I heard that she was doing some live broadcast before, and a group of people were staring at her playing games. Is that acceptable?" Er's father looked up.
He hadn't said that before, usually keeping it to himself in front of family and friends. He'd secretly boasted to the junior, middle, and high school groups that his daughter had inherited his good looks and would soon become a superstar. Er's father didn't understand the intricacies of the entertainment industry, and just because Lu Fei appeared on a variety show for fun, he assumed his daughter was about to debut.
Er's mother was in a state of confusion.
According to the timeline, the imposter started contacting them a year ago, and it was at this time that their daughter no longer used her previous social account.
About half a year later, my daughter suddenly used her previous account again, so two accounts were being used at the same time.
To put it simply, Eryi disappeared for half a year, otherwise it would be impossible for her not to contact her parents for half a year.
Because he had just learned that one of them was not his daughter, his mind was in a mess, but after a little calm thinking, he realized that this imposter was related to his daughter, and the relationship might even be very close.
First, after my daughter resumed using her old account, she didn't immediately tell them to stop contacting the imposter. The imposter handled everything from work reports and personal matters to visiting relatives during the Lunar New Year and giving out red envelopes to relatives and children during their weddings.
But if they were chatting about childhood memories or casual conversation, no matter which account they initially addressed, the replies would always come from their daughter's account. Furthermore, the conversations were logically connected, which is why they didn't notice something was wrong for so long.
Mother Er explained this logic to Father Er several times, and he also changed his mind: "So according to what you said, maybe our daughter is the mastermind behind this?"
"Who is behind this? Can you speak?"
"Accomplices, joint crime."
“…”
"The video is here." Er's father quickly clicked on Er's mother's mobile phone to receive the video.
As soon as the video call was connected, two familiar faces appeared side by side on the phone screen: "Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you."
Ten minutes ago, Eryi and Lu Fei were sitting together in the living room, discussing subsequent cooperation matters.
"Wait, your dad's looking for me." As the client's father, Er's father and mother were his top priority, always keeping them on top and giving them special reminders. As soon as he clicked on the voicemail, he was met with a roar...
Lu Fei turned around and glanced at Eryi. Eryi's phone lit up, and when he clicked on the voice call, his mother's voice came out: "Where are you? Send your location to Mom."
Lu Fei sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking back and forth between Eryi's phone and his own.
The mission he accepted was to take Eryi's place and live in his dimension without being discovered by others.
Being discovered by his parents was equivalent to mission failure, which was beyond his expectations.
Of course, the first thing to do when doing a mission is to investigate various interpersonal relationships and other issues. He maintains all the personal connections around Eryi very well.
I chose live streaming as a career by chance.
When he first arrived in this dimension, Eryi was truly poor. She had just graduated, and even her rent was paid by her parents, and her internship salary wasn't much use.
As a high-ranking tasker, Lu Fei certainly couldn't rely on hiding to complete the task. He knew very well that this kind of system, which could freely travel between various dimensions, was the most advanced of all systems. Their owners were naturally the wealthiest.
All taskers have unique feelings for their original planes. Some people are like him, and once they leave, they can never go back.
But for those taskers like Er Yi who can return to their original plane at any time, they must be willing to use energy points to exchange for things from their original plane. So as long as he earns the currency of this plane here, he can use it to exchange for energy points.
This is much easier than going back and forth to complete tasks.
He had considered a lot at the time. Even if he became really popular in the e-sports circle, he would not be as well-known as a celebrity.
What's more, Eryi's parents weren't even fans of esports live streaming, so they couldn't spot him. Unfortunately, he hadn't anticipated the plane's upgrade, making his mission more difficult than ever.
"Do you want me to communicate with them?" Lu Fei raised his chin towards the phone in Eryi's hand: "I can handle it."
After a year of living together, he was familiar with the personalities and temperaments of Eryi's parents. Whether they were just angry or for other reasons, he was confident that he could deceive her. After all, this identical face was not fake. In order to pretend to be their daughter, he also knew Eryi's growth history clearly.
After Eryi replied, she turned around and studied the face that looked exactly like her own. Not only was the placement of the facial features identical, but even the expression lines when she smiled or frowned were identical. To be honest, sometimes she herself couldn't tell them apart.
For example, during the Spring Festival this year, she did not go home for the New Year, and Lu Fei went instead of her.
Seven days later, Lu Fei returned. Her parents sent her photos taken over the past seven days, along with comments on the results.
There were individual photos, group photos, daily life photos, and videos. She looked at the people in them and even for a moment she felt as if it was herself.
When Lu Fei met relatives and family members, he would consciously imitate her behavior and way of speaking, and they were even more similar. But even so, her parents finally recognized them.
"I don't think there's any need to hide it from them anymore." Er Yi waved to Lu Fei, asking him to sit closer. "My mom wants to use the video to confirm my safety. Come over too."
"I want to formally introduce you to them."
The effect of the mental power upgrade was outstanding. Eryi only briefly explained his situation and the system problem, and his parents had almost filled in the details of what happened.
Er's father's anger level dropped rapidly, and Er's mother sighed several times, and then asked Eryi how he was living in other places.
The four-person video chat lasted for an hour and a half. After it ended, Er's father muttered, "No wonder she was much more obedient and diligent during the New Year than before. I felt relieved. It turns out she was hired for money..."
After knowing Lu Fei's true identity, Er's father and mother's attitude towards him returned to their original state, which made Er Yi wonder if they treated him as another daughter.
Lu Fei also took them to play competitive games and helped them gain points, under the pretext of exercising their newly acquired mental strength.
A skilled quester, accompanied by two beginners with extraordinary mental powers, was able to escape at high speed. If they met ordinary players, they would often be able to make their opponents withdraw into autism...
A month and a half has passed since the outbreak.
The situation on the original plane is becoming increasingly stable. Other social and economic issues are beyond Eryi's control. They must be left to the local people to adapt and handle on their own. Besides the emergence of various strange abilities, technology is also developing rapidly.
The identity of the tasker began to gradually rise and appeared in the eyes of certain people. They hoped to offer a large reward and accept the tasker into certain departments.
A few people agreed, but most preferred a freer identity and declined their invitation.
Eryi is also one of them. A tasker contacted Linglingba through the system and sent her an invitation message.
They didn't use any rude means to disturb her, even though her true identity had been verified internally. Unlike other worlds, the original plane had too many traces of life and relatives and friends, and more ties.
"The IDs of these people are placed in confidential files." This is a protection measure for the taskers.
[Are you sure you want to use 500,000 energy points to replace the 100-day barrier?]
【yes】
There is still 3.2 million energy points in the mall account.
Because he owed too much debt, Eryi did not exchange all the energy in his hands for barriers.
All taskers have exchanged their energy points for barriers, and now the cumulative maintenance time of the barriers has exceeded one year.
The Doomsday Plane borrowed slightly over 5 million energy points but ultimately never used them up.
But based on the current rate of return in the Doomsday Plane, it would take at least four to five months to repay this amount. Add to that the large amount of healing coins that had been pre-charged from the various safe zones and survivor bases. Spreading it evenly, this meant that about half a year's worth of income had been overdrawn.
The magic plane was operating smoothly. Not only was there no outstanding debt, but when Eryi stayed in the original plane, the number of believers had exceeded ten thousand.
The Plane Healing Station system has been upgraded to Level 9 and gained the skill [Maria's Sigh].
Maria's Sigh: Area/Single-target spell, controllable range, maximum casting radius 10km. Requires 500 Faith Points per target, with a maximum single Faith Point deduction of 500,000 when in range. Does not consume Fatigue or Mana. Upon casting, the target gains Absolute Silence for all Magical and All Skills, lasting 2 hours with a 7-day cooldown. This skill cannot be upgraded and is unique.
Used properly, this is a skill that can annihilate a city or even an entire country.
Although wars are rare on the continent of Nadus now, there are still occasional small-scale conflicts between small countries.
The war process is similar.
Magicians are a precious resource, and most of them stay in the rear to enchant and provide various blessings to the warriors.
As the state religion, the church receives large amounts of offerings every year, so it also has to send people at this time. The priests will provide various recovery abilities, blessings and protection.
At this time, if someone gives one of them a 2-hour group silence, the combat power will be overwhelmingly tilted.
Eryi didn't intend to tell anyone that she had this skill.
During the time that Eryi left the magical plane, a major event happened on the continent of Nadus.
This incident overshadowed the new god Maria and became the topic of conversation for almost everyone after dinner.
"One hundred and twenty years ago, Moira Cecil, the human war goddess of the Nadus continent, led her army to flatten the Gangtangodi Mountains and exterminate the necromancers who had plagued the borders of the Kaas Kingdom for a long time."
"But after this battle, she never returned. As the second in line to the throne of Kayas, some suspected her brother had murdered her."
"It's a disgrace. She would never fall for such a scheme."
After that, the territory of Kayas gradually shrank from a medium-to-large country to a small country whose name may not even be known to people today.
As everyone knows, Boyle is the god of curses. He's despised, yet he persists. This is simply because most people remember his name. It's said that two years ago, his followers took a liking to the nation of Kayasi, spreading their faith there and successfully establishing Kayasi as its state religion.
The ruler of the Kingdom of Khayas was Moira Cecil's grandnephew. He was moody, cowardly, and obsessed with pleasure, a personality very much like his father's. This caused untold suffering not only among the common people but also among the nobility.
He usually forbade anyone to mention Moira Cecil's name in his presence.
In the second year of his reign, he demolished the statue of Moira Cecil in the central square.
The story ends here. It is not uncommon for a country to decline.
A month ago, Moira Cecil appeared, her figure still as agile as before.
She drives Boyle out of Kayas.
She cut off the king's head.
She became the new king.
Now, she was kneeling on one knee in front of Eryi and kissing the back of her hand.
"I want to be by your side as a follower of Mary."
