At first Xie Xuan thought it was Chongming coming, but she soon discovered that these hyphae came out of her body.
The mycelium glowed white, still so holy even in such dim light, as if it was something that shouldn't exist in this rotten world.
Xie Xuan felt that she didn't have such a strong filter when she looked at Chongming's mycelium. It was possible that such a strange thought was entirely because the mycelium now belonged to her.
The shoes that were originally stepping on Xie Xuan's helmet had turned completely white. When Xie Xuan raised her hand, she found that her body had regenerated.
Although no one knows what her special abilities are now, she is finally able to fight back.
Xie Xuan pushed the person off her body. The lower half of the fake's body was completely wrapped in white mycelium.
And under the helmet, the imposter was looking at her with a vicious expression that she could never make.
"You're a monster." The fake's voice became fuzzy and distorted, as if it were a cassette tape.
Xie Xuan looked down at her body. Because of the protective suit, she didn't know what her body was like.
But it's easy to imagine that it must be the system that was hiding in her body after the superpower was activated.
She had always suspected that her system was Bai Ze, and now she could finally prove it.
Xie Xuan raised her head and looked at the counterfeit who was about to be completely wrapped by the white mycelium. "If I am a monster, then so are you."
She said calmly, "Don't you just want to take away everything from me?"
The counterfeit was completely submerged in the mycelium and could no longer answer Xie Xuan's questions, but the black shadow under the counterfeit's feet began to twist.
Xie Xuan glanced down and frowned.
Although she initially wanted to get her special powers back, she felt a little disgusted when she thought that this stupid shadow was deceived by an imposter.
Moreover, she now has superpowers similar to Bai Ze's. If this shadow comes back, it is hard to say whether it will fight with her current superpowers.
But no matter how much she disliked it, she couldn't give up this shadow.
Xie Xuan walked in front of the shadow. The counterfeit on the shadow had turned into black dust and disappeared, leaving behind a black shadow on the ground that was still twisting, looking a bit weird.
Xie Xuan squatted down, and a black hand that looked like something out of an animation emerged from the black shadow and carefully grabbed Xie Xuan's trouser leg.
"Why did you follow it?" Xie Xuan asked Shadow.
The black hand moved and wrapped Xie Xuan's legs a little tighter.
Shadows cannot speak, but Xie Xuan can vaguely sense the shadow's thoughts.
Shadow said that she felt wronged as well, because she was kidnapped.
Xie Xuan reluctantly accepted Yingzi's reason and reached out to hold Yingzi's hand and shook it. "Be smarter next time and don't let it snatch you away again."
The black hand wrapped around Xie Xuan's hand again, and at that moment Xie Xuan was reminded of her little blue mushroom.
But since her superpowers were activated, her symbiotic spores disappeared as if they had been devoured.
However, Xie Xuan did not dwell on this issue for long. After her shadow obediently returned to her feet, she remembered Song Zhixian.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that she seemed different.
The last time Yang Jiayue died in front of her, she was so angry and desperate that she wanted to destroy the whole world, but this time when she recalled the scene of Song Zhixian dying in front of her, she did not have any particularly strong emotions.
It was as if the pure white abyss she fell into after being stepped on by the imposter had truly wiped out all her emotions.
Xie Xuan turned around while thinking about something, and saw that the place where Song Zhixian's body was supposed to be lying was empty.
Xie Xuan suddenly realized that she was not sad because Song Zhixian was not dead at all.
She said, how could Song Zhixian, who had lived outside the wall for so long, be killed so easily by her.
Xie Xuan felt relieved and started walking out along the way she came in.
After walking a few steps, Xie Xuan keenly discovered that the air seemed to be flowing, and there was a faint smell of decay unique to mushrooms.
Then the surrounding alleys and buildings began to disappear.
Instead of disappearing into black ashes, the buildings quickly shrank back into the earth as if a documentary was played in reverse, and then the mushroom forest she was familiar with began to grow again.
Xie Xuan couldn't help but frown. Did this fungus take the initiative to dispel this thing that looked like a domain but not really a domain?
After the alley disappeared, the headlights of their RV shone through the gaps between the mushroom forests.
Xie Xuan followed the light and walked out, and saw Xiao Yao still standing on the roof of the car, Song Zhixian standing at the door, and Chongming talking to him in the car.
The first person to see Xie Xuan was Xiao Yao. He immediately jumped down from the roof of the car, walked over a few steps and said, "Are you okay?"
Xie Xuan shook her head, "I'm fine."
She turned to look at Song Zhixian, "Captain Song, are you okay?"
Song Zhixian shook his head. "It seems we were separated as soon as we entered the alley. I saw you killed in the alley."
He paused and added, "But I knew you wouldn't die so easily, and the fact that I'm still alive proves you're still okay, so I came straight out to wait for you."
Xie Xuan nodded a little guiltily. She didn't expect Song Zhixian to trust her so much. She was even sad and angry about the death of "Song Zhixian" for a long time.
"Me too. But I found my shadow back." said Xie Xuan.
Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian both looked at Xie Xuan's feet, but Chongming was the only one looking into Xie Xuan's eyes.
"Do you... have new superpowers?" Chongming asked.
Xie Xuan didn't know if it could be considered a new superpower. She first returned to the car with Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian, then she stretched out her hand, and white mycelium slowly emerged from her palm.
The mycelium was exactly the same as Chongming's. Chongming touched it, then let go and said, "It's similar to mine, but not as strong."
Chongming acted very calm, but Song Zhixian and Xiao Yao, who had also heard Chongming talk about Xie Xuan's origins, were not so calm.
The assimilation bacteria that originally served as auxiliary and guiding functions were also activated to such a degree, which was undoubtedly a huge burden for Xie Xuan.
The two powerful bacterial species are bound to be unable to fuse with each other. In this case, Xie Xuan, who is holding these two bacterial species, will sooner or later be blown to pieces like a container into which two violently reacting chemical substances are added.
And it is even impossible to predict when this day will come.
