Thirteenth month of death

Chapter 60 Desperate Silence
"So, your murderer and the anchor point are the same person," said Li Daosheng.

In fact, the scope of Thirteenth Month’s description of anchor points is not very large.

The only person who knew about your death, but for some reason forgot about it.

If it is a homicide, then the anchor point is most likely the murderer.

If it is suicide, the anchor is yourself.

But there is another situation, and this situation is...an accident.

Being killed accidentally, such as being hit by a car, and the driver not noticing it, but the body is discovered by someone passing by. Because of excessive shock, the person forgets that they discovered the body, which can also become an anchor point.

If Feng Hui's memory was correct, then her anchor point was indeed the moon-like creature that imitated her.

But the question is, is her memory really okay?
"I heard that a pseudo-moon creature only realizes it's a nearly perfect replica the moment it sees its true self. If that's the case..." Li Daosheng stared at Feng Hui without blinking, "What evidence do you have to prove that you're Feng Hui himself, and not a pseudo-moon creature?"

The question was somewhat offensive, but Feng Hui didn't find it offensive. She nodded in approval, "You're right. I can't prove myself. But why did the Bug Catching Team let me join the team even though they couldn't identify me?"

Her rhetorical question is indeed worth thinking about.

Li Daosheng thought about it and came up with a seemingly plausible answer: "Maybe, just like what the uncle just said, verifying whether it is a pseudo-lunar organism is not that important to them."

Feng Hui looked at him seriously. "You are very smart. In my world, most people hold a fearful and hostile attitude towards the moon-like creatures. However, the moon-like creatures, especially the humanoid moon-like creatures, can never form an alliance and pose a fundamental threat to humanity."

She suddenly looked at the blinds of the office, her sight penetrating the window and reaching outside the room.

"In their hearts, even if they've confirmed they're a pseudo-lunar creature, their self-awareness will still identify them more as a [human], not a [monster]. The [monster] identity only brings them pain, just like you right now."

"If I tell you that your body is fake, your memories are fake, and everything you have comes from another person, would you believe it?"

"Even if you believe it, would you choose to join the Lunar Creatures camp out of racial identity, abandon all your memories so far, and truly become a Lunar Creature?"

Feng Hui's words made Li Daosheng fall into deep thought.

When the level of fakeness reaches the point where it is indistinguishable from the real thing, what is the boundary between the real and the fake?
Between the moon-mimicking creature and the person being mimicked, only when the two meet will the other awaken.

In other words, if there was a way to prevent one party from ever seeing the other, then...

A rather terrifying guess suddenly came to Li Daosheng's mind.

"Feng Hui, is the birth of humanoid moon-like creatures related to the direct illumination of the moon?"

"There's a hypothesis," Feng Hui explained carefully after noticing Li Daosheng's unusual expression, "whoever is illuminated by the second moon will likely have an identical humanoid, moon-like creature appear."

really……

Li Daosheng's mind flashed with a sentence that the uncle named Li Ersi mentioned inadvertently during a casual chat in the car:

"Under the illumination of the second moon, some evolved beings will emerge among humans. These evolved beings possess endurance, physical strength, jumping ability, vitality, and even some bizarre special abilities that far surpass those of humans."

them……

It is very likely not an evolver, but the pseudo-lunar creature itself!

"Hey, Feng Hui, from a ruler's perspective, once a person is confirmed to have given birth to a pseudo-moon creature, that pseudo-moon creature not only possesses all of that person's abilities and memories, but also surpasses them in endurance, stamina, jumping ability, vitality, and so on, and may even develop some special abilities." "Then... if we kill the cloned original, wouldn't the result be a truly evolved new human who will never know they were a pseudo-moon creature?"

Feng Hui looked at him quietly, and suddenly stopped saying a word.

Not only that, the entire Bug Catching Team building became extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Li Daosheng felt his scalp go numb, and a surge of deathly intent he had never felt before surged towards him from all directions!
He turned his head to look at the blinds in the office. The members of the bug-catching team who had been busy just now had all stopped.

They were extremely silent and looked at the window expressionlessly.

To be more precise, he was looking at... Li Daosheng in the office.

----

Li Daosheng and Feng Hui stayed outside the city all night.

The temperature in this world is ridiculously low, but Feng Hui doesn't feel cold at all.

There was no other way, Li Daosheng could only circulate his true Qi in circles and rely on consuming his true Qi to keep warm.

Last night, the topic of the humanoid moon-like creature was not discussed further. It was not because Feng Hui was too secretive, but because he simply had too much to do. After Feng Hui had eaten, he carried him and flew under the moonlight, then moved to another place.

After all, they had to be on guard against people from the company coming back to seek revenge. After struggling until late at night, Feng Hui finally found a dilapidated house, where the two spent the night.

It was already bright outside. After the two moons disappeared from the sky, there was actually not much difference between this world and Li Daosheng's own world, except for the temperature.

"Are you equipped with some kind of locator? You've been hiding for three years without any problem, so why can the company find you suddenly?" Li Daosheng asked.

Feng Hui shook his head slightly: "Perhaps a new human has been born with the ability to track or predict."

"New humans?" Li Daosheng looked at her curiously. "Like you?"

"Well," Feng Hui closed his eyes and felt the information coming from the wind. "Like I said, the company has adopted many orphans for experiments, transferring the characteristics of humanoid moon creatures into humans. Babies are the best carriers, but the success rate is still very low. Those who successfully survive and gain abilities will become what they call the new humans."

"Why not just use humanoid pseudo-moon creatures?"

Li Daosheng was a little confused.

"According to what you said, before the original and the replica meet, it will think it is the original and won't have any desire to eat humans. So, wouldn't such an individual, with a sound mindset and even greater abilities than the original, be the best employee?"

Feng Hui suddenly turned his head, his pupils flashing silver, reflecting Li Daosheng's figure.

"You're right, that's why I ran away from the company."

Li Daosheng suddenly realized: "So, the company chose your clone and abandoned you. As long as they kill you, your clone will be the more useful and powerful real you."

But at this point, a bigger problem emerged.

"At whose hands did you die?" Li Daosheng sensed something was wrong.

Feng Hui looked at him, his voice becoming a little strange:
"I died at the hands of my Lunar Creature. That night, she came over with the company."
