Chapter 104 Two Lu Jinsang Li: "Who is below, attempting to assassinate me..."
Raindrops slid down Lu Jin's eyelashes. He squinted, staring at "himself" on the yacht in the downpour.
What's going on?
How can there be two?
Can the scene be reproduced?
The face was exactly the same as his, and the movements were his habitual body movements, only the expression was even more, even more, devoid of emotion than his current one.
It's as if they're not human.
It was as if it wasn't a person, but a frozen, sharp, and cold fragment.
Lu Jin had no recollection of when he appeared in this form.
The rain soaked Lu Jin, and he felt his mind was in turmoil.
Have I lost some of my memories?
But Sang Li felt comfortable and warm nestled in the seashell.
She snuggled closer, and there was even a small blanket of some unknown material, possibly made of white seaweed, which surprisingly had the softness of silk and was also quite dry.
She glanced at Lu Jin, about to tease him about whether he had gotten soaked in the rain, but then followed his gaze into the distance.
What's going on?
Two Lu Jin?
The other Lu Jin looks like an assassin.
The cold-blooded kind.
“You? No, it’s you!” Sang Li pointed at him, then pointed into the distance.
Lu Jin: "..."
He couldn't explain it clearly.
Sang Li: "Memories reappearing?"
Lu Jin: "But I don't remember."
If you lose your memory, you have no memory at all, unless you retrieve the memory beforehand.
Or perhaps this memory is also from someone else's perspective.
Sang Li thought for a moment: "Someone helped you remember, but you still look pretty handsome."
Lu Jin: "Not handsome now?"
Sang Li: "I enjoy taking on challenges."
Lu Jin sighed helplessly, "I'm still too good to you."
Sang Li: "Can we get closer and take a look?"
Before he could finish speaking, tiny red petals rose from the seawater, first one or two, then more and more, like surging pink foam, quickly climbing up to their sides and weaving into a thick wall of roses. The petals were damp, dripping water droplets, isolating them in a relatively enclosed area, making it impossible for him to see the ships ahead.
Don't let them pass.
It is memory that is blocking it.
This is still Sloan's painting, but it is also Fei Ling's memory greenhouse.
Extraordinary abilities can be grafted and merged.
Just like when Sang Li saw the image of the Day Witch in Fei Ling's memory greenhouse, that influence used the abilities of Amber and Fei Ling, and perhaps also contained the power of the Day Witch herself.
Sang Li found it amazing.
These abilities blend together perfectly, as if they were specially prepared for me.
Glug.
Glug.
A familiar figure slowly rose from the sea.
Silver.
Amber cradled the waves, her silver tail fin gleaming coldly in the rain.
He looked up at the two of them, his smile mocking and somewhat ambiguous.
“See,” His voice was like the waves crashing against the rocks, clear yet with a hint of echo, “what you see is not now. Haven’t you always wanted to know what happened in the past? I will tell you, because he is not worthy to appear before you.”
However, as He spoke, He casually pushed Sangli's seashell away.
What you say is not important; what matters is the purpose behind your actions.
Lu Jin frowned, wanting to chase after the seashell, but he also wanted to know what had happened to him, his eyes fixed intently on the direction ahead.
"Hey!" Sang Li's best viewing spot has been taken away.
“Do you like it? You like seashells,” Amber said proudly. “If you want to know, I can tell you all about it.”
Amber lay on the edge of the seashell: "Actually, I should show you my other memories."
Sang Li covered Amber's mouth: "You're quite fluent now, but I don't want to see any adult content."
Sudden.
Amber: ?
Sang Li: ?
A cool sensation came from the seawater, and then it felt like something touched my ankle.
Sang Li looked down.
no?
This works?
A tight chain shackle suddenly appeared around his ankle, the metal gleaming coldly underwater, the other end extending straight to Lu Jin's wrist.
Handcuffs?
Why is Lu Jin so creative lately?
Did your S-type attributes suddenly come out?
No wonder he stood there just now, letting Amber's tail fins whip up waves, without rushing to attack.
So you think I can't escape?
Tsk tsk.
Amber's smile instantly turned cold. She swung her tail fin violently, creating a large wave, gritted her teeth, and lunged forward, her fingers gripping the shackles as if she wanted to tear them off!
"Let her go."
Lu Jin merely raised his eyelids, his voice as deep as a rock pressing down in the night: "Don't waste your energy."
That's why humans are relatively smarter, isn't it?
Lu Jin chuckled softly, and with a slight twist of his wrist, the chain, propelled by the seawater, tightened instantly like a silver snake: "She can't live without me, she'll always be mine."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled.
The seashell was pulled along the water's surface, and the splashing waves hit Sang Li's face, so cold that it caught her off guard.
Sang Li sneezed.
I'm not happy.
The next second, she was dragged towards Lu Jin's location.
Sang Li was speechless: "I'm truly impressed."
Lu Jin: "I've looked at your search history, and it wasn't about looking at any letters. I think your threshold is getting higher and higher; you really should play fewer games."
Sang Li: "Why are you starting to dictate to me? Don't you know about XP freedom? I'm not trying to impose it on you."
Lu Jin said leisurely, "Oh, I thought you would like this style."
But his gaze remained fixed on something further away.
Through the gaps in the rose wall, the yacht continued to approach in the torrential rain.
The "Lu Jin" on the deck stood amidst the wind and rain, like a ruler occupying a high ground, overlooking everything below.
The waves are still rolling.
Sang Li focused her gaze, and this time, she noticed a familiar figure on the periphery of the BEAM yacht that "Lu Jin" was riding.
A flash of silver light disappeared amidst the rain waves!
Those were the lines of the tail fin, as sharp as a blade under the moonlight.
Wow.
That's Amber.
Two Ambers!
"Amber" stirred up a three-meter-high wave, which instantly crashed towards "Lu Jin"!
Suddenly, gunshots rang out, but were then swallowed up by the waves.
It's not about the real people, but a scene from a fight between Lu Jin and Amber.
They even fought?
Moreover, this is not something that is happening now.
It appears that the two do not know each other.
At sea, Lu Jin and Amber were locked in a fierce battle, their movements unrestrained and each strike potentially fatal.
He didn't linger in the fight; each strike was clean and ruthless, aimed directly at vital points. Gunshots rang out briefly in the rain, like sparks from a battlefield assault, causing the giant waves whipped up by Amber's tail fin to crumble time and again. But Amber was clearly fearless; it seemed as if the entire ocean was churning and raging in his hands.
Lu Jin could tell that this was not BEAM's standard procedure.
BEAM doesn't allow such an aggressive playstyle, except for the final level.
But Lu Jin clearly wanted Amber dead.
Their containment missions always emphasize encirclement and suppression, especially when facing A-level or higher anomalies. In such cases, the entire team must be mobilized, advancing layer by layer, in order to comply with regulations.
Most importantly, living anomalous entities.
But here, "oneself" is all alone, without any communication support or backup ships.
Since I can't recall any information about this containment, I'm certain that my memories have also been erased.
He stared at the silver shadows churning in the waves, and a strange sense of heaviness grew deeper in his heart.
When they fought in the Black Sea, the two went all out, and Amber couldn't beat him.
In this memory, each strike of the sea created towering, wall-like waves. Worse still, the spray would distort the landscape into illusions, disorienting opponents and making them unable to discern direction or distance. This was a fusion and coexistence of mental abilities and naval offensive capabilities, something Amber clearly couldn't do now.
This means that He can create illusions that are enough to confuse the senses while attacking.
At sea, this is a more lethal capability than any weapon.
Has Amber become weaker?
The torrential rain fell like a curtain, and the sea surface seemed to be cleaved inch by inch by a sharp blade.
Sang Li was initially just watching the exchange between "Lu Jin" and "Amber", but soon she realized something was wrong.
In those surging waves, the silver tail fin always hovered to one side, its movements fierce, yet it always firmly protected a certain spot behind it.
Is anyone there?
What kind of little mermaids exist?
She frowned and reached out to brush aside the rose petals blocking her view.
really.
I saw a shadow.
Behind Amber, in the middle of the rain and waves, a small boat made of white coral floats quietly.
The boat is narrow, as if it were made specifically for one person.
That is...
That doesn't make sense...
Standing on the ship was a woman in a white tactical uniform, her long, wet hair clinging to her shoulders and neck, holding a mechanical gun in her hand, coldly pointing it at "Lu Jin" in front of her.
Sang Li's breath hitched.
That face... was her own.
Is this a memory shared by the three of them?
Lu Jin was truly the person who was a constant presence in my life.
Every time Lu Jin attempted to break through Amber's defenses at sea, his gun was not pointed at the silver tail fin, but at Sangli on the coral ship.
The target wasn't "Amber," but her.
Sang Li snorted twice: "How dare you!"
Lu Jin: "..."
Sang Li: "Who is below me, attempting to assassinate me!"
Lu Jin said firmly, "I didn't."
Sang Li: "You do."
Lu Jin: "I don't remember."
Amber seized the opportunity to add, "He wants to kill you, to tear you to pieces."
Lu Jin: "..."
Sang Li: "This word may not be used in this way."
In the distance, amidst the rain, the gunfire suddenly intensified, like a series of sharp screeching sounds tearing through the air.
"Sang Li" also raised his mechanical gun, and the moment he pulled the trigger, a burst of fire erupted in the torrential rain.
Bullets don't have eyes.
But Lu Jin approached with extremely fast movement, and Sang Li was no match for him at all. She lost her footing on the ship and swayed precariously.
In fact, the outcome of this battle was already decided almost from the very beginning.
Lu Jin has the strongest individual combat ability.
Without a doubt.
The next second, Lu Jin leaped onto the small white coral boat, stepping on the broken deck ripped up by the waves. Rainwater slid down his brow bone, cold and deadly.
Sang Li gasped and instinctively stepped back, but!
Bang!
Blood-red flowers bloomed on the white ship's side, their crimson color winding along the coral's veins towards the sea.
Amber's pupils constricted sharply, and it let out a low roar. With a flick of its tail fin, the small boat was violently capsized. Waves churned up the hull, hurling it to the bottom of the water like a toy being destroyed.
A silver tail flashed, and He directly pulled "Sangli" into His arms and disappeared into the deep sea.
The gunfire ceased amidst the sound of rain.
After a long time, only "Lu Jin" remained on the churning sea.
Sang Li: ...
Was that... being shot?
Sang Li's fingers groped through the damp, cold fabric.
She lowered her head and slowly lifted the hem of her dress to the side.
Below the ribs, the skin was wet with rain, but a faint scar could be seen that was almost blended into the skin.
She always thought it was from a fall when she was little, she didn't know when.
Sang Li's fingers stopped, she gently pressed that spot, looked up at Lu Jin, and said in a voice as soft as if seeping into the sea mist: "You actually hit me?"
That tone.
It's very much like the female lead questioning the male lead in an 8 PM drama.
In that instant, the waves seemed to recede into the distance, and all the surrounding sounds were sucked away.
Lu Jin's pupils contracted slightly, as if someone had poked the most private spot in his back.
Rain dripped down his chin, but he didn't speak immediately. He just tightened his jawline and his eyes flickered.
He felt a little guilty.
Lu Jin lowered his eyes, unsure of what he had done.
Or perhaps he was afraid the answer was true.
Sang Li smiled and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. Anyway, I don't remember. What if you have some unspeakable secret? Even if you had ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to hit me."
Amber: "He dares."
Lu Jin: "Shut up, you can't beat me."
Before he could finish speaking...
Sudden.
The blue of the sky seemed to have been cleaved open by something sharp, and a thin crack suddenly appeared.
The next second, scalding hot seawater seeped out of the crack and poured down into the air.
It's not the seawater in front of me.
It's real seawater!
It crashed directly into this fictional sea.
Sang Li felt a chill run down her spine from the splash. She instinctively looked up and saw the crack widening, like a canvas being forcibly torn open.
After the crack appeared, the shadows of the real world were rapidly encroaching on this scene that was once beautiful yet eerie.
Oh no, oh no.
Along with the surging seawater came several dark figures descending rapidly.
A silver containment gun, a black bulletproof vest, and the BEAM logo on the chest flashing briefly in the mist.
Amber's face suddenly darkened, and she uttered two words in a low voice: "Impossible."
Its tail fin slapped the seawater unconsciously, the splashing waves carrying a sharp killing intent. "How...how did they find Slo's painting?"
Sang Li was startled.
If Sloan's painting is closed, even ordinary anomalies will have difficulty entering it, let alone BEAM locking onto its location.
Moreover, it has already become one with the seawater.
It shouldn't be able to be detected, right?
Unless there is precise positioning.
But the truth was right before their eyes: the cracks, like gaping wounds, were growing larger and larger, and the BEAM containment team had already descended from the sky.
"They've found our trail."
Sang Li wanted to ask how this was possible, but the surrounding air began to tremble, the rose petals withered and fell, and the edges of the painting seemed to be swallowed by flames.
Lu Jin raised his hand, and the handcuffs clicked open. The moment the metal fell, seawater rushed in, carrying a biting chill, instantly submerging their ankles, waists, and chests.
The waves of the real world are swallowing this fictional space.
"Let's go!" Lu Jin shouted in a low voice.
Without hesitation, Amber swept his silver tail fin sharply, transforming into a swift current.
Sang Li felt as if she was being pulled away from her spot, with the sound of water and her rapid heartbeat filling her ears.
Amber held her tightly in his arms, pulling her towards the sea.
At the last moment before she turned around, BEAM's gun was already pointed in their direction.
