There are three ways to use the ability of "a different life".
The first is that you don't need any materials to cast spells, you can just do it manually, and the effect depends entirely on your imagination. If you have specific experience, the effect will be better, and if you are an inexperienced beginner, the effect will be worse. The first time you do it, the effect will be average, and you may be able to do it faster after you become proficient. But because you don't have a full set, it's not quite there anyway.
The second is the need for spellcasting materials, which are a corpse/a pile/a pool/a tank. No experience is required, you can use it right away, it's a fool-proof operation, and there are no obstacles. It guarantees an unforgettable and exclusive experience. The only problem is to get the corpse.
The third one also requires casting materials, and the other party must be alive. But because the other party is alive, when you want to cast a spell, you must obtain the other party's full consent, so that both parties can have a perfect casting experience. If the other party refuses, then it is not allowed.
Therefore, if Ren Suo wants to become Ren Xingmei (physiologically), he must first obtain Ren Xingmei's full consent.
Ren Xingmei and Dong Chengling were obviously confused. Only Loriface, the alien who couldn't understand the Earth language, was still clapping with a moved look on his face, as if he was celebrating the lovers finally becoming siblings.
"What, what do you mean..." Ren Xingmei asked in confusion.
"It means exactly what it says," Ren Suo said. "The only way to get away with it safely without causing suspicion among the Daedra is to give them a Sony, a coordinate of an alternate dimension. As long as they have these two characters, they won't particularly care about where the others go."
"Sony can be handled by my clone, but the coordinates of the alternate plane do not have to be both of you. I just need to become one of you and let the Daedra temporarily mistake me for the coordinates of the alternate plane. As long as the others are too busy to care about our existence once something unexpected happens, then we can all leave the Daedra plane safely."
That’s right, this is Ren Suo’s real plan: let the clone play Sony and let himself play the coordinate!
Because there is no way Sony can escape, he is not only targeted by the Lord of the Empire Sithis, but also monitored by the Shadow Grand Faranaya.
Lanaya needs to use Sony to threaten Sithis, and Sithis needs to use Sony to enter the ambitious form of "having nothing and everything".
For such an important tool, if Ren Suo dared to take off his Sony leather case and slip away, he would be hunted down by Sithis's national army from Luoyan City to Heijiang.
Sony must die, and even be reduced to ashes by Sithis.
But the coordinates of the different planes are different.
Because of Ren Suo's protection of Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, in fact, few people really remember these two Earthlings. Even Lanaya, who came back with Ren Suo, only knew that Sony Dafa brought back two female humanoids from Earth and knew that there was an alien plane coordinate inside.
From the perspective of the Daedra, these aliens on Earth all seem to be exactly the same.
As for who the coordinates of the different planes are, Lanaya doesn't know much, and she doesn't need to know - even Sony has a way to identify the coordinates of different planes. As a shadow master who knows countless secrets and can appear anywhere at any time, if Lanaya does not have a way to identify the coordinates of different planes, then she is simply disqualified as a master.
Moreover, Ren Suo knew that the marked cassette that Sithis had Sony use had completely locked Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei, so the two of them were directly pulled into the Daedra plane.
Does Sidis have a way to directly pull the coordinates of the other plane to him from a long distance? If so, then Dong Chengling and Ren Xingmei could still be pulled back as long as they had not left Daedra, or even if they had left the Daedra plane.
The best way, naturally, is to just kill him and blow up Sithis's dog head, then everything will be over once and for all.
But the problem now is that Ren Suo is not sure whether Sithis can be defeated.
The only game characters he can use are Ren Han, Seeker, and the Spirit of Devouring the World.
Because the cyber world of this world is very strange, Ren Suo is not sure whether the virtual master Irina has enough combat power here; the Black Coffin Demon King cannot be summoned (5-star combat power), but the Moon Singer can be summoned, but his combat power is uncertain.
But because Ren Suo had previously summoned Ren Han to beat Sony, the naughty kid, to death, and called the Seeker and Zhao Zili to come for an expert consultation, and because Zhao Zili was unable to do anything but shamelessly stayed on Earth to breathe the air, Ren Suo now only had about 5 minutes left to summon "Clear Spring Flowing Sound".
However, the final boss Sithis is not weak.
According to the performance in the game, if it weren't for Los turning on the plot cheat (locking health), Los would have been brainwashed by Sithis and become Sithis's pawn.
This was even though Sithis had no intention of killing Los, but Los was also having a hard time fighting - you know, Los had been maintaining a critical strike output of more than two thousand times!
In the end, it was Ren Suo who took advantage of the game's turn-based combat mechanism and allowed Los to use "Flashing, So Close Yet So Far" to deliver dozens of instant critical hits in just ten seconds, avoiding all of Sidis' attacks and destroying Sidis' defense before Sidis could react!
What if Renso sends a game character to attack Sithis? Let's not talk about whether the game character will be brainwashed by Sithis's "ambition halo", nor whether the game character can defeat Sithis in just five minutes, but...
Facing a powerful enemy that suddenly appeared, wouldn't Sithis, the Lord of the Empire, run away...
In the plot, Sithis's opponents are the Dragonborn Los and the Shadow Grand Faranaya. Sithis knows these two people inside and out, and is confident that "with a show of kingly aura, the enemies will quickly surrender", so he said a lot of nonsense to subdue these two guys.
But if Sithis saw an alien who couldn't even speak Daedra, would Sithis subdue him? Would he fight him?
No, as an ambitious man, Sithis's first reaction would definitely be to escape immediately, escape to a non-hunting restricted area, and then teleport away immediately to gather the army to fight the aliens.
Faced with Sithis who could escape and even teleport, Ren Suoke didn't think his game character could defeat him in just five minutes.
He didn't dare to gamble.
What's more, exiling the Grand Lord is a goal that Ren Suo must accomplish, otherwise Dong Chengling and the others won't be able to use the Grand Lord card to return to Earth.
And now there are three keys of annihilation, one in Los' hands, one in Lanaya's hands, and one in Sithis's hands.
Therefore, if Ren Suo wanted to use an unconventional strategy, even if he didn't care about Los, he had to let the game character defeat Lanaya first, and then go all out to defeat Sithis within five minutes.
Ren Suo could naturally call Lanaya into the bedroom, then smash the cup as a signal, allowing the game character hiding in the ceiling to instantly kill Lanaya - the success rate is only about 50%, and Lanaya may have the ability to save her life for a moment. As long as she reacts, she can use her shadow ability to escape.
Assuming that Lanaya can be defeated, the game character will have to rush to the White-Gold Tower immediately, and countless riots will be caused along the way, which will soon be known to Sithis.
In this situation, would Sithis really sit in the White-Gold Tower like a fool waiting for the game characters to come and kill him?
The best way is to wait until Lanaya and Sithis are together, then summon the game characters to beat them up.
Moreover, Lanaya will indeed meet Sithis soon, but the problem is that she will bring two small gifts, Sony and the coordinates of the alternate dimension, with her when she meets the guest.
No matter how you go around it, the different plane coordinates and Sony are indispensable.
However, Ren Suo could not let Sithis summon the coordinates of the alternate dimension. Whether Sithis had to choose one of the two or accept both, it was a consequence that Ren Suo could not accept.
Therefore, all Ren Suo needs to do is transform into an alternate dimension coordinate and appear in front of Sithis. Then, Sithis will naturally not summon other alternate dimension coordinates.
This is not like ordering takeout or shopping, there is no need to compare prices. Originally, one space-time coordinate is enough, but Sony was itching to find two and marked them all.
The most important thing is that Ren Suo must stay in the royal court to control his clone, so the most cost-effective approach is naturally for him to stay and dress as a woman to become his sister.
This way, only he and Sony's clone are needed to keep the game's plot going.
Ren Suo briefly explained the situation. Ren Xingmei blinked and asked, "You asked me to give you my heart. Is this what you mean?"
"Yeah, what else?" Ren Suo said, "You know, my ability allows me to completely transform into someone else, and it's even more perfect than you can imagine: all the information of the body, all the intelligence of the soul, and even the cursed state you are under will be completely copied to me. I will completely become you."
"So I must get your consent and open your heart to me completely. If you resist at all, I won't be able to copy your intelligence information. Isn't this asking you to give me your heart?"
Ren Xingmei subconsciously glanced at Dong Chengling, who shrugged with a calm expression that said, "I've seen a lot, there are even more amazing operations you haven't seen."
"Hmm..." Ren Xingmei pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "But... why me? Isn't Teacher Dong also okay?"
Ren Suo was a little surprised: "You don't agree?"
“我同意，但我想知道你选择我的理由。”任星美盯着任索的双眼，微微脸红但十分坚定地问道。
东承灵这时候也很好奇地看着任索：“索，为什么你不复制我呢？按照你的说法，你一旦复制别人，就等于得到别人的心，了解别人的所有记忆，明白别人的一切想法……”
“像这种事，听起来不是很私密，像是情侣之间的行为吗？你跟我做比较好吧？”
靠，多嘴了。
任星美暗暗恼恨自己为什么要问这个问题，任索多半是没有多想就直接选择复制她。现在东承灵这么一说，任索肯定会觉得她说得很有道理，然后——
“不是啊。”
任索看着东承灵摇了摇头：“我不觉得这是情侣间的私密行为啊。”
任星美和东承灵微微一怔。
“情侣之间，也不需要知道对方所有秘密啊。”任索说道：“变成索尼，其实是我第一次用这个能力。试过之后，我才知道，这个能力用起来，没想象中那么好玩。”
“得到别人的心，了解别人的所有记忆，明白别人的一切想法，指的不仅仅是能看到那些美好的回忆，善良的想法，也包括过去所有悲伤的回忆，阴暗的念头，夜深人静时的疯狂。我不相信这个世界有圣人，承灵，你心里难道就没有不想对我说的事吗？”
东承灵轻启绛唇，又抿紧嘴唇，看着任索微微点头。
以前她很少有什么幽暗念头，但最近就不一样了。
哪怕她很喜欢古月言，很重视跟乔木依的感情，也认可白忌的工作能力，但她也难以避免地升起某些不可告人的想法。
东承灵不是圣人，她也会生气的。
但像东承灵这种人，自然是能在第一时间就摁灭自己的不安情绪。事实上这也很正常，好朋友之间也会有争执怨怼，夫妻之间也会吵架，哪怕她父母也有过一两次冷战，只要能好好处理人际关系，这些念头根本不会影响生活。
东承灵自然也不会将这种不会影响生活的想法告诉任索，不仅是没必要，而且她也不愿意。
“变成索尼的这段时间，我了解他的所有愤懑、不安、渴望、哀伤，”任索淡淡说道：“他不是一个坏人，但也不是一个好人。说实话，这种了解别人的感觉，让我很难受。”
“我并不好奇别人的人生，更不喜欢别人将自己藏在心底的阴暗**裸地展示在我眼前。虽然很真实，但也太丑陋了，以至于我只想尽快忘记索尼的一切——我并不讨厌他，但我不想记住他。”
“我连自己都过不好，没有资格去评价别人的一生。”
“承灵，”任索抬起头看着东承灵，“也许你可能不信，但我已经尽可能在你面前展示出最好的我。”
东承灵：“我相信。”
“虽然我之前不知道，但我现在回忆起来，也知道你在改变，学习衣服搭配买新衣服，学习化妆用护肤品……还有勤奋修炼。”任索说道：“你也在努力地变成更好的自己。”
“既然你和我都在努力向对方展现最好的自己，那我为什么要了解你的过往，了解你心底里那些不为人知的想法，看到你不曾对我展示过的丑陋一面？”
任索认真说道：“我不是喜欢过去的你，不是喜欢有着丑陋想法的你，而是喜欢现在的你，喜欢正在改变的你，喜欢会和我走到未来的你。”
“你的过去我来不及参与，你的未来我奉陪到底。”任索露出傻兮兮的笑容：“让我们都活成对方心里最好的模样吧。”
东承灵眨眨眼睛，跟任索真诚的目光对上。她忍不住侧过头，轻轻舔了一下嘴唇，回应一声：“嗯，好。”
而一直在一旁围观，吃了好大一波狗粮的任星美，心里简直是醋坛子、辣椒面、虾酱加冬阴功汤一起打翻。她勉强挤出一个笑容，说道：“所以……这就是你为什么不复制东老师的原因？不想看见东老师丑陋的地方？”
“是啊！”任索重重点点头。
“我就没所谓？”
“是啊！”
任星美忍不住转过头眨眨眼睛，不想让眼眶里氤氲的水雾泛起来，太丢人了。
她也是第一次听到任索这个独特的爱情观，算是意料之外情理之中——任索一直以来都是这样，某些臭名远扬的坑钱游戏公司他会完全抵制，但如果该公司出了良心游戏，他也会掏钱支持。
只是任星美没想到，这种对事不对人的喜欢，居然成为任索的爱情观。听起来一点都不轰轰烈烈，也不一往情深，他的喜欢非常肤浅，只有现在，以及可能会更好的未来。
那些任索看不见听不到的阴暗，他不会探求，也不会喜欢。
他是那种永远都不会考验人性的人，他无法确定自己是否真的能喜欢那些阴暗，他只能确定自己会尽量以最好的姿态去拥抱对方，并且让自己欣赏并喜爱对方的闪亮之处。
也就是东老师是对浪漫也没什么需求的现实主义者，要是换个女生，怕不是直接跟任索翻脸了。不过能喜欢任索的，多半都是对浪漫没什么指望的女生了……
所以任星美心里才一阵凄苦：持有这种观点的任索，毅然选择自己进行复制，让自己的心，自己的阴暗想法，自己的悲伤回忆全部展露给他……
是我就没所谓吗？
我就是你可有可无的陌生人吗？
“幸好妹妹你在，我可以毫无顾虑地复制你的心。”任索还在狠狠往任星美心里捅刀。
任星美闭上眼睛，片刻后睁开水盈盈的眼睛，微微一笑：“嗯，幸好有我在。”
“是啊，毕竟你是我从小一起长大的妹妹。”任索嘿嘿一笑：“如果是你，那我就肯定不会被你的灵魂和回忆伤到了。”
任星美微微一愣。
“别人的记忆其实是很可怕的，陌生的地方，陌生的亲人，甚至连食物都是陌生的品种……”
任索歪着脑袋说道：“但如果是你就不一样了，我们一起长大，拥有一样的父母，住在一样的地方，吃得都是一样的食物……明明就只有老妈自己喜欢吃苦瓜，还一直喊我们吃，唉。”
任星美忍不住噗嗤一笑：“其实后来妈妈已经将苦瓜做得不苦了，你不还是不吃？”
“苦瓜不苦的话，那为什么要吃苦瓜？”
任索理所当然地说道：“我喜欢吃小龙虾，她又嫌麻烦不肯做，明明可以做蒜香味的，大家都能吃……”
任星美笑着听任索吐槽老妈，问道：“所以，你之所以复制我的心，还有一个原因是我的记忆和你高度重叠？”
“是啊，”任索摸了摸任星美的头：“我和你一起长大，这个世界所有人的记忆我都害怕，但唯独不怕你的记忆。因为你的记忆，早已被我亲自见证过了。”
任星美心里一动，傻傻地看着任索。
“说句不好听的，我还帮你洗过沾满耙耙的**，你的记忆里出现什么我都能以正常心态面对……”
“停停停！”任星美连忙喝止任索。这时候东承灵也想到什么，俏脸一红看了看任索。
但任索还真没说谎。
虽然他很喜欢东承灵，但如果可以的话，他也不想那么清楚地了解东承灵的所有生活细节——除了洗澡。
但妹妹就不一样了，小时候被老妈逼着洗妹妹**，甚至被妹妹用脚踹脸的任索，已经可以面无表情地看待妹妹的一切。
任星美看着任索，心里也是无尽的郁闷，好不容易有点感动，居然瞬间就被这家伙给毁掉了。
“除了记忆以外，我也有一些没跟你说过的想法念头啊，”任星美瘪着嘴，小声问道：“那些你也觉得没所谓吗？”
“没所谓。”
“为什么？为什么东老师的你就有所谓？”
“因为你跟承灵不一样，”任索凝视妹妹的双眼，说道：“你是我的妹妹，你的怪癖，你的小脾气，你的坏毛病，有哪个是我不知道的？你那些不可告人的想法，有哪个是我无法理解的？”
“这就是我们兄妹的优势了！正如你了解我，所以我也很了解你！”
任星美用一种诡异的眼神看着任索：“哥……你这么自信？”
“哥就是这么自信！”任索斩钉截铁地说道。
这时候索尼分身和洛里菲斯坐到一边，吃着咸口零食围观看戏。
任星美沉默片刻，说道：“那好吧，我没问题了，你复制我吧。”
“嗯，”任索双手搭在任星美的肩膀上：“放松身体，放开心神。感觉可能会很奇怪，但应该不会痛的。如果痛的话，不用你说，我自己就马上中断。”
任星美微微一笑：“那……哥，我把我整个的灵魂交给你，连同它的怪癖，耍小脾气，忽明忽暗，一千八百种坏毛病，全部都给你了。”
“好！”
“无论你看到怎样的我，你都会接受吗？”
“当然！”
"Then don't be surprised."
