Chapter 106 Twin Shadows

In that instant, a strong sense of fear seeped into Xiaoye's mind.

Why does she have the same face as me?

No, it's not just the face that's the same; the hair color, height, figure, and even physical fitness are all very similar to my former self.

It was as if she were the one opposite him, and as if the person opposite him was the traitor named "Night".

Even in that instant, Xiaoye felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she thought of something extremely terrifying.

The Blade Runner organization was almost wiped out when she and Lysa betrayed them, but now, this person who looks exactly like her has become the new Blade Runner.

So, how many people like this are there?

And what about Lysa? Where is her friend who brought her out of the wilderness and helped her defect from the sheriff's squad?

Could it be that this monster who looks exactly like her has already used that face to deceive Ryza?

No, that's very possible. If it's her own face, then Ryza will most likely be fooled, and what awaits her afterward is utter ruin!

In an instant, countless emotions surged into his heart: fear, anger, confusion, and a deep-seated dread completely overwhelmed him.

She gripped the short knife tightly, her teeth clenched beneath her mask.

"Who are you?!" Xiaoye roared, the neon lights in the night shining on her, and the blade reflecting light.

"Number 007, Number 007, please reply, please reply. Have you found any trace of the mother?" The operator's call came through the earpiece.

However, the next moment, the "007" on the other side slowly took off his headset, threw it on the ground, and crushed it completely with the security team's military boots.

At the police headquarters, 007 was instantly declared dead (defected).

"If I kill you, then I will be the real Ye!" She stared intently at Xiao Ye, uttering each word clearly, ignoring the wound on her chest and the bloodstains on her cheek. She also raised her short sword and assumed the exact same stance as Xiao Ye.

At the same time, the shadow beneath the girl opposite her, who looked almost exactly like her, seemed to come alive, extending out tentacles.

However, compared to his own shadow, the other person's shadow seemed as weak and feeble as a premature baby.

In that instant, Xiaoye understood why she hadn't noticed her hiding here before—because she possessed abilities originating from the same source as her!

Vanish into the shadows!

"You!" At this moment, Xiaoye was shocked.

"Don't worry, after I kill you, I will do better than you, more perfect than you. I will rescue Ryza, I will kill the other imposters, destroy the company's data, and take Ryza away from this cesspool of a world." At this moment, the girl with the same face said words that made Xiaoye shudder.

"You joined another organization, didn't you? I remember in the database, you seemed to have a new family member, right? Their names are Li Ge, Yi Lian, and Valerie, aren't they?"

In that instant, Xiaoye could no longer suppress her emotions and anger.

The short knife was entangled with shadows, reflecting a dazzling array of colors under the neon lights of the night sky.

"Clang!" The short swords clashed violently, and the sparks that erupted were like fireworks over the cemetery.

"You monster!" In an instant, Xiaoye unleashed her shadow into physical tentacles, but the next moment, the opponent also manipulated the shadow, not to attack, but merely to transform it into a defense like a sea urchin.

"I have the same power as you, the same face as you, even the same genes and body as you, so why do I only have a number instead of being called 'Night'? Why don't I deserve all your happiness and future?!" The shadow urchin blocked the tentacles, but her shadow manipulation was not as good as the real Night, because even though they were from the same source, hers was just a fake.

However, using shadows for defense, rather than taking the initiative to attack, is enough to withstand Xiaoye's shadow tentacles for a short time!

Next, it will be a contest of pure skill and strength!

"Clang!" The two short swords clashed again, sparks flying from their blades. The two swordsmen used almost identical techniques.

"If I kill you, I will be the true Night. If I kill you, Lysa will be mine, and your family—Li Ge, Yi Lian, Valerie—will all be mine!"

"I will love them more than you do, and I will live a more fulfilling life than you!"

"Clang!" The swords clashed again, and at that moment she suddenly felt that her body could no longer withstand the force of the opponent.

But she clenched her teeth so hard that they broke and her gums crumbled.

She must win! No matter the cost, she must win!

"I will form a family with them and spend my whole life with them. I will marry my loved one, stay together forever, grow old together, and then become a mother, raise children, and our children will live in a brand new world, a world where they don't have to worry about immune backlash, a world where they can roam freely in the blue sky, the sea, the forest, and the earth!"

"I will receive this love, hold his hand, and dance awkwardly among the wildflowers like an ordinary girl!"

"Why, why do you deserve such a future!"

She roared hysterically.

"Shut up!" In that instant, shadows instantly enveloped Xiaoye's short sword. "If you want it, go get it yourself, instead of fantasizing about owning everything that belongs to others!"

She herself didn't even realize that she had advanced from Tier 1 to Tier 2, and in her desperation, she had even used the most basic psionic enhancement method.

Such abundant power surged from within my body.

This is a skill that even Li Ge, who entered Tier 2 earlier, has not been able to learn, perhaps because Li Ge has been focused on Chi Shi during this period.

At that very moment, the shadow-wrapped dagger slashed at another dagger, severing it from the monster's hand in disbelief, right before her eyes!

The broken sword reflected iridescent colors under the neon lights. The moment the shards grazed her cheek, her pupils contracted, seemingly reflecting the neon lights on the sword, and the future and life she longed for, the life she dreamed of, and her wedding dress—

"Pfft!"

That's the sound of a short knife piercing flesh.

Meanwhile, within the academy, there is the mysterious academy.

Li Ge and Professor Abaddon silently walked out of the laboratory, both of them looking as if they had swallowed a red stone.

The two had forgotten how long they had been in Akaishi, feeling that with the passage of time, they had been worn down and lost much of their spirit.

-

"I have never seen such a strange mental world. What are you thinking about all day long?" This was Professor Abbotton's biggest question.

Li Ge: "————"

Is my mind really that chaotic?

Logically, he should have been thinking more about how to become stronger, how to escape with his aunt and the others, and then recalling some memories from his past life that he hadn't completely forgotten, as well as thinking about how to return to Earth.

Then I will be the only superman on Earth, able to live a life of wealth and luxury without ever returning home, as if wearing fine clothes in the dark, and I will roar:

'

The three-year period has ended; we respectfully welcome Emperor Li back to his throne!

This is his ultimate fantasy. Is it because he always thinks about abstract things that his brain has become such a mess?

"However, you are truly gifted. Although the time is extremely short, you have already touched the prototype of a domain. Your domain will most likely be centered around Liu Ruyan, undergoing an endless cycle of red stone reincarnation." Professor Abaddon said, then shivered.

"What a wicked realm! Born evil brats!"

Li Ge: "————"

He didn't want such a red stone domain, but he had no choice. He couldn't control his own dreams, so he could only use the female demon as the core of his dreams to construct the world of his mind.

The good news is that he has already grasped the basics of the field.

Only a few days have passed. The vice principal gave him six years, and now, in less than six days, he is already able to duo with Professor Abaddon in Redstone.

Perhaps it won't be long before he's able to apply the domain to himself.

To his surprise, Abaddon immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "But don't get cocky. The power of a domain isn't something you can control so easily. You still have a long way to go. Also, your domain has a serious problem; it seems to be the kind that's most prone to backlash." As he spoke, Abaddon looked around and realized it was already late at night.

"Let's do it today. I'll open up the full domain and let you experience it." Abaddon thought there was no better time than today, so he decided to demonstrate the fully unfolded domain to this kid.

How much he can learn depends on his ability.

Li Ge nodded repeatedly. Actually, to call it a rudimentary domain, he hadn't even finalized his mental world yet.

If we compare learning a particular field to writing a thesis, he's at the stage where he's just finished the introduction and abstract, and has only just begun writing the background information.

Now, Abaddon simply provides a complete paper template so that he can write his own paper by referring to it.

The next moment, Professor Abaddon slapped Li Ge on the shoulder, and instantly, a spatial rift tore open behind them. To Li Ge's horror, the two fell into the spatial rift.

The next moment, they appeared on the training field.

Li Ge: "————"

Zhongdeng, could you at least give us a heads-up before opening this spatial rift? Don't be so terrifying.

He was speechless, but that move was really cool, and he definitely wanted to learn it in the future.

Although the prerequisites for teleportation are calculus, spatial science, and topology, Li Ge felt that this thing was even more difficult to learn than the field known as the ultimate technique.

"Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once," Professor Abaddon said, a grin spreading across his face, his monocle gleaming coldly.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Li Ge couldn't even maintain her breathing rhythm, and even forgot how to breathe, as if breathing was a passive skill.

"With this body I bear the truth, I have revealed it!" Professor Abaddon chanted.

In the next instant, everything changed. The entire school and training ground seemed to collapse, and a huge stadium rose up.

In that instant, Li Ge saw endless corridors stretching in all directions, and within this towering venue, billions of books spread out across his field of vision.

The number of books was as vast as the starry sky, densely packed and endless. At this moment, Li Ge truly felt an indescribable shock.

When Li Ge looked up, he suddenly saw a ferocious, twisted pupil in the sky above the library, as if tearing through space, like an indescribable thing, staring at Li Ge, who was now as small as an ant.

Beneath that distorted giant eye stood Professor Abaddon, suspended in mid-air, along with the billions of books.
