Chapter 006: Doppelganger
Mo Xuanji jumped forward nimbly on the tableware.
His other skills may not be that great, but his balance is really good, and he is light and fast. He discovered this by accident when he was climbing a tree as a child. While other companions were still struggling to practice how to climb tree trunks, he could already flexibly climb onto tree branches and then jump from one tree to another.
The second person was chasing closely behind him.
Mo Xuanji was calculating silently in his mind. He was in the fruit area at that time. Zhu Changan greeted him and went to the staple food area in the west. The two areas were not far apart. As long as he passed the dipping sauce area in front...
Mo Xuanji showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. After passing by several dipping sauce bowls, he jumped onto the edge of a dipping sauce bowl, paused for a second, and the double body followed closely. At this time, it was in the cooling time of the supernatural power, so it chose to jump towards Mo Xuanji alone, and punched out with one hand clenched into a fist.
Just as it was about to touch him, Mo Xuanji suddenly turned around and kicked the fruit fork like before - only this time the force was downward. The double body was unable to dodge in the air and was kicked into the bowl.
The double body struggles in the golden sesame oil.
Mo Xuanji didn't stop, he turned and ran. He knew that his double would be able to escape quickly, but it didn't matter, his goal had been achieved.
There was a roar of wind behind him. The double body rose up in the wind, dripping with oil. Its expression was dark, and it seemed to be on the verge of exploding.
Although it looks scary, the skill Yu Feng consumes the most energy and has a long cooldown time. Mo Xuanji is very clear about the advantages of his ability, but also knows all its flaws. Since the double is a 100% copy of the original, the three-minute cooldown time of Yu Feng must also exist.
Three minutes is enough.
After dodging another round of attacks, Mo Xuanji saw what he was looking for. His eyes lit up and he jumped down without hesitation. The pair of chopsticks were placed on the chopstick holder, one end was raised and the other end was on the ground, a perfect lever. Mo Xuanji jumped to the raised end, used inertia to lift the chopsticks up, and exerted force with his feet, turning the chopsticks 184 degrees. The double body was caught off guard and was hit by the raised chopsticks, flying straight towards the hot pot.
Seeing that the direction seemed a bit off, Mo Xuanji used something beside him to gain leverage and jumped up, appearing right above the double body. He raised his foot and kicked hard, and the double body flew into the small stove under the hot pot like a meteor.
In order to maintain the temperature in the hot pot, the stove is usually set to a timer switch, and now is the time to turn it on.
Mo Xuanji didn't hear the screams, but he could feel the strength slowly returning to him.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, his legs trembling slightly.
His physical strength had long been exhausted.
"Fortunately...I remember the time correctly."
......
In the open space, there was a piece of ice standing quietly, and there seemed to be a red figure trapped inside.
"Shen Liuxue" slowly walked to the ice block and stretched out his hand tentatively.
“Crack…”
"?"
The sword flashed, and the ice exploded instantly. Using the shattered ice as a cover, Shen Liuxue stabbed the counterfeit's heart with his sword.
The tip of the sword hit the ice, making a clanging sound.
"Shen Liuxue" condensed a small ice shield in front of his heart to block her attack.
"Tsk!" After failing to hit the target, Shen Liuxue quickly retreated. Three ice spikes appeared at her previous position. After briefly gathering strength, they suddenly collided with each other and forcibly produced an ice ball.
Both sides were determined to kill each other.
From now on, it seems that Shen Liuxue has the upper hand.
The only moves that the double body can master are those that the original body can use. This is what Shen Liuxue discovered during the battle.
Shen Liuxue's supernatural powers have only been awakened for a year or two, but she has been practicing swordsmanship since she was a toddler. Shen Liuxue's focus has always been on swordsmanship, and supernatural powers are just the icing on the cake for her.
"You're just a replica, you think you can beat me?"
Shen Liuxue stood with the sword in hand, no longer suppressing his own strength. Although his supernatural power was lost, his swordsmanship and sword energy were still there.
The person who looked like her took a few steps back and looked at her coldly. The blue ice crystals in his hand quietly dissipated, and then an ice sword appeared in his hand.
For some unknown reason, the doppelganger gave up his special powers and rushed forward with the ice sword in hand.
Shen Liuxue's eyes focused, and her sword skills became sharp and powerful, with each move aimed at the opponent's weak points - after all, the opponent also wanted to kill her.
For a moment, the scene was a little weird, two identical girls fighting each other, and the swordsmanship they used was as if copied and pasted. Shen Liuxue had the illusion that he was dancing with swords in front of a mirror.
"Your poor imitation is so bad, do you want to make me laugh to death?" Shen Liuxue pressed forward step by step, her swordsmanship was as sharp as she was.
"Shen Liuxue" is like another her. Whatever Shen Liuxue can do, "Shen Liuxue" can do too. As if to deliberately provoke her, this counterfeit deliberately uses the same moves as her, even imitating the subtle angles exactly.
Shen Liuxue suddenly found it a little funny. An idea flashed through her mind, and the sword suddenly turned an unfamiliar arc, and the move changed. "Shen Liuxue" was unable to react in time, and the sword was picked up and flew out.
You can imitate everything I can do, so I have to innovate a little.
"Shen Liuxue" seemed stunned. It looked at the sword that was thrown away, and for the first time, something other than murderous intent appeared on its face.
Shen Liuxue felt that this expression looked familiar. To be honest, she had seen this expression in the mirror many times.
That is reluctance. The reluctance of being someone's shadow, the reluctance of not being able to own yourself, the reluctance of not being recognized no matter how hard you try.
In a trance, she thought she saw her past self.
"But, as a doppelganger, what qualifications do you have to show such an expression to me?" Shen Liuxue kicked the doppelganger to the ground and reached out to strangle its neck.
"Why would you be unwilling to accept this? You are just like that guy, stealing everything from me by despicable means. Just because of one thing... you can easily deny all my efforts over the past 18 years..."
The doppelganger's "stealing" ability was like a sharp ice thorn, picking up the darkest and most painful memories in her heart. At this time, what was reflected in her eyes was no longer the doppelganger, but the despicable guy.
Losing to me was obviously due to your own incompetence, but why am I always the one who is abandoned?
The strength in his hands gradually increased. The double's expression gradually became fierce. It summoned an ice blade and stabbed Shen Liuxue's abdomen fiercely. Shen Liuxue, immersed in her memories, did not notice its movements. Until the stinging pain in her abdomen pulled her back.
Without any hesitation, Shen Liuxue broke the doppelganger's neck cleanly and decisively.
She watched her double body transform into streams of light and dissipate in her hands, then she slowly clenched her fists, not knowing what she was thinking.
......
There are still only a few people who can kill the double. Most of the freshmen were just ordinary people before they awakened their special powers. They were not as strong as Shen Liuxue, nor as rational as Mo Xuanji. After losing their special powers and being hunted by the double, almost everyone panicked.
How can ordinary people possibly defeat those with special powers?
Even if it is just a seemingly harmless supernatural power, it is enough to take a person's life when controlled by a doppelganger.
He was chased by a doppelganger who stole his special powers, his companions died tragically in front of him, and death followed him closely.
The black-robed man listened to the heart-wrenching screams, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He stood up suddenly, closed his eyes, and then raised his hands, as if there was an invisible violin in his hands, playing it in ecstasy.
"It's so beautiful! Listen! This is the most beautiful and melodious music in the world!"
Someone heard his voice and cursed him in despair, but he didn't care and just told a story about raising pigs.
"Do you know how to raise a snake? Put all the poisonous insects in a sealed jar and let them kill each other. The one that survives to the end is the snake." He stretched out his hands in a hug gesture: "It doesn't matter if the supernatural wins or if one of you wins, I don't care. I just need a final result."
"Have fun. Don't worry, my little cuties. I won't interfere until the final Dragon King is decided."
Zhu Changan heard these words, and despite his good upbringing, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. However, he didn't dare to speak out. At this time, he and Ji Sheng had finally gotten rid of the double body. As for how he escaped from the state of being sandwiched between meat and baked buns, Zhu Changan didn't want to recall it anymore.
The man and the grass moved forward cautiously and stealthily. Suddenly, a man came out from behind the cup, looked at the two with surprise, and quickened his pace to run towards them.
"Great, it's other classmates... Woohoo!"
The boy took advantage of Zhu Changan's unpreparedness, grabbed his arm and threw him towards his doppelganger. The doppelganger collided with Zhu Changan and paused for a moment.
"Hahaha, you poor bastards, this guy is given to you!" The boy ran away very fast.
"Chang'an!" Just when Ji Sheng thought that Zhu Chang'an was going to be killed on the spot, the doppelganger passed by Zhu Chang'an without even looking at him, and continued to chase the boy.
The boy's smug smile froze on his face: "How could that be!"
"He actually wants to drag someone else to be a scapegoat! Such a bastard can actually be recruited!" Ji was so angry that he jumped up and down, but in the plant state he could only stomp on his roots angrily.
Zhu Changan got up from the ground dazed and rubbed the back of his head which was hurt by the collision.
He watched for a while and said, "It seems that the doppelganger is only chasing the original."
"Just hunt down the original body... Got it! Jisheng! I have a plan!"
"What can we do?"
"Didn't we guess that only by killing the doppelganger can we get back the superpower? Maybe we can defeat them one by one, using the original body as bait to distract its attention, and the other one will take the opportunity to kill it. I observed our doppelgangers, and they always have flaws when they use their superpowers. If we grasp the opportunity well, it is not impossible to kill them."
"Every time yours releases the vine, his body will uncontrollably enter a state of stiffness for one second, and he can't move during that second. Mine has a longer reading bar. After releasing a supernatural power, it has to wait twelve seconds before releasing the next attack. During these twelve seconds, he is no different from an ordinary person..."
"Then let's take a gamble."
Zhu Changan's face suddenly turned red, he was a little embarrassed: "We need to take back your superpowers first. I can't control my superpowers smoothly most of the time, if I take mine first, it may not be of much use."
"Aren't you afraid that we will ignore you after we get our powers back?"
Zhu Changan shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I believe you are not that kind of person. If I get cheated, just think of it as my bad luck."
Ji Sheng silently twisted the flower crown to one side. After a few seconds, he said, "Let's prepare a plan for what to do next."
"We did this, and then that, and then that..."
