Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 133 Personality
Mu Xiang didn't stop them; he just looked at Qi Tengyi and asked, "Are you alright?"

"No..." Qi Teng let out a long breath, "You scared me! I just saw you standing outside the window... So what's going on?"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Not all of us entered Hobbes Town. Some of us should have been left in the real world. Otherwise, I would have lost reward points just now... Zheng Zha lost points when he killed the possessed Lu Renjia last time."

"So some of them are fake?" Qi Teng asked tentatively.

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right, don't trust anyone except me... Well, Zhan Lan can be trusted too. I was 80% sure before, but now I'm 90% sure."

Then Mu Xiang took Qi Tengyi and flew out to look for the other missing people.

Although Qi Tengyi had ways to protect himself, Mu Xiang was still worried about leaving him at the hotel.

[Zheng Zha and the other three were all safe... Is it because they had a powerful presence, or is there something fishy going on among them?]

“We got separated… She just walked in another direction by herself. Is there something wrong with Liu Xi?” Zhan Lan’s voice echoed in Mu Xiang’s mind.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "It's possible, but that creates a contradiction... If she's not the problem, then she's just too weak and has been manipulated."

"If we find them still alive and confirm they're okay, then let's use some more purifying psionic energy," Mu Xiang thought to himself.

At that moment, he heard a whooshing sound from below. Qi Tengyi didn't hear it, but it was quite clear to Mu Xiang. So he took Qi Tengyi and fell down, where they encountered Zhang Heng.

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Heng cursed. In his hand was a crossbow that Mu Xiang had asked him to buy. At that moment, a bolt was piercing straight into a cluster of tentacles in front of Zhang Heng, causing the tentacles to shake wildly.

Upon seeing Mu Xiang and Qi Teng arrive, Zhang Heng finally dropped his cold expression and hurriedly shouted, "This guy is unkillable! Is there any way to kill him?"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "What's this?"

"That newbie, she just came to meet me, asking me to save her or something, and then the next second she turned on me, ahhhhh!" Zhang Heng said vividly, "You know what I mean? She just flipped her face over and showed her tentacles!"

Qi Teng was taken aback for a moment, then muttered, "Is it really that exaggerated..."

"So do you have any ideas?!" Zhang Heng cursed and jumped back two steps, shouting at Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang glanced at him silently, then a scorching gaze slammed into the very center of the tentacle.

The tentacles seemed to have been scalded in oil, suddenly leaping backward before spreading out and disappearing into the sewer.

Zhan Lan's voice rang out at this moment: "I'm surrounded by a group of townspeople..."

“Then I’ll come over now,” Mu Xiang replied.

"You underestimate me too much..." Zhan Lan laughed. "Or are you lacking confidence in your special training?"

Mu Xiang thought for a moment and then replied, "Then I'll go check on another matter first. It's not convenient for me to bring everyone here right now..."

"Oh, which girl's safety are you concerned about?" Zhan Lan joked.

However, Mu Xiang's intuition told him that Zhan Lan was probably dealing with the townspeople who had gone mad like mowing grass—in a relatively gentle way.

Mu Xiang, along with Qi Tengyi and Zhang Heng, patrolled the area above the town. Soon, he heard a series of fast and powerful footsteps.

Is Zhao Ying empty?

Mu Xiang dropped Qi Tengyi and Zhang Heng off at an intersection: "The situation ahead is a bit complicated, you might not be able to handle it... wait for me here."

Qi Teng glanced at Mu Xiang and then nodded.

Mu Xiang followed the sound and rushed to a courtyard. "Zhao Yingkong," Mu Xiang said calmly, stopping the girl who was sprinting forward.

Zhao Yingkong silently looked at Mu Xiang, then said, "There's some noise ahead, aren't we going over?"

Mu Xiang nodded, then grabbed Zhao Yingkong and flew over the courtyard with her.

【oh……】

Ahead, a girl was running wildly, her footsteps sounding remarkably similar to Zhao Yingkong's. Behind her were several figures whose faces were obscured… not only their faces, but their bodies were also fused together, leaving only their chaotic limbs flailing wildly. And it was these intertwined limbs that propelled this distorted mass forward, swaying precariously, yet relentlessly pursuing the girl.

“It’s her…” Zhao Yingkong’s expression changed. “I saw her earlier…”

Mu Xiang said calmly, "Be careful not to alert her... I'll go down and check the situation first. You keep an eye on her for anything unusual later."

Zhao Yingkong, held in Mu Xiang's arms, nodded upon hearing this.

The two landed between the twisted mass of flesh and Liu Xi. Mu Xiang kicked the tangled bodies apart, and the several deformed bodies howled in the air. Forcibly separated, they were clearly also severely injured, writhing on the street and leaving behind sticky, shiny black blood.

Even with Liu Xi's composure, she was quite frightened by this thing. She took a breath and then looked at Mu Xiang: "So strong?"

Mu Xiang didn't say anything, but gestured to Zhao Yingkong to block her side.

"A quiz with prizes..." Mu Xiang's gaze swept over the two girls, and a surge of sword energy erupted from his hand. The sword energy was colorless and luminous, yet it distorted the light and shadow in his hand. "At this moment, we gaze at each other but cannot hear each other..."

Liu Xi's heart tightened. At this moment, she felt the threat of death, which was much stronger than when she was fleeing before!

May the moonlight flow to illuminate you!

She answered instantly... while Zhao Yingkong was stunned, looking at Mu Xiang with a puzzled expression.

With a whoosh, Mu Xiang swept his right hand, reducing Zhao Yingkong's upper body to dust. Then, he grabbed Liu Xi and retreated rapidly, unleashing a burning gaze upon Zhao Yingkong's mangled remains!
As expected, Mu Xiang did not hear the God's deduction notification.

“Zhao Yingkong is an artsy girl…it’s impossible that she doesn’t even know the essentials for middle school…” Mu Xiang chuckled coldly in a low voice.

[As expected, you can only replicate their appearance, but not... or rather, at least not yet, you can't grasp their character traits, nor can you replicate all their knowledge and abilities.]

Ultimately, the quality of a novel's characters depends on the author.

"You knew she had a problem?" Liu Xi asked after a moment of silence.

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right, she's an assassin... She runs fast and lightly, but when I heard her, her speed was still okay, but her footsteps were excessively heavy."

However, for some reason, he didn't say the second half of his sentence... which was that Zhao Yingkong in her current state would never allow him to hold her like that. The moment he touched her, he sealed Zhao Yingkong's identity.

"So, the other one definitely has a problem too... that's a done deal." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "Only your and Zhan Lan's room didn't have any slime traces because you were 'written' out. In reality, there was no monster attack; they crawled out themselves and left those traces..."

Zhao Yingkong's mangled body writhed in the fire, while several other twisted bodies struggled on the street... Then sword energy fell from the sky, shredding them all to dust.

Mu Xiang led Liu Xi back to the previous intersection and saw Qi Tengyi and Zhang Heng... but one was standing and the other was lying down.

“Well done. So we’ve confirmed that four of them have entered Hobbes Town… I wonder if the remaining four will give me any more surprises.” Mu Xiang landed in front of Qi Tengyi and said, “Zhan Lan’s situation is settled too. Let’s go meet up with her.”

His gaze swept across the ground. Zhang Heng's neck had been snapped, his crossbow bent and tossed aside... and Qi Tengyi, who had done all this, had a blank look in his eyes.

Zhao Yingkong is a well-educated literary girl, and Zhang Heng isn't truly cold-hearted but just pretending... Back to the daily routine of attending classes. Chapter Two will be updated later.
