The Last Sentinel

"No! The gym checked the security footage and hasn't seen Guo Xiaoming for the past week. The last time Guo Xiaoming was seen was a week ago."

"The lottery shop checked the surveillance footage and found that Guo Xiaoming bought a lottery ticket a week ago and hasn't been seen since."

"I investigated the alleyway where Guo Xiaoming was murdered. Although there are no security cameras at the alleyway, the criminal gang that shot Guo Xiaoming has been caught! They admitted to killing Guo Xiaoming with a BB gun and stealing lottery tickets. However, the whereabouts of Guo Xiaoming's body are still unknown. The criminal gang is being tried swiftly and severely to ensure that Mr. Guo receives justice!"

"Mr. Ye, what do you think...?"

Ye Feng's face was extremely grim.

This is simply unbelievable.

The surveillance cameras he investigated all confirmed that what the [Fifteenth Realm Martial Artist] said was true! He was robbed and shot a week ago, and then he transmigrated.

But Guo Xiaoming's younger brother, Guo Xiaoqiang, insisted that he had seen his brother that morning, and even said that they had dyed their hair white together.

In the chat group, all the emperors gathered together.

Fifteenth-realm martial artist: I already told you, I transmigrated! After I was killed, I directly transmigrated with my physical body! You didn't believe me, but now you do! It must be my brother talking nonsense!

Immortal Archmage: But your brother spoke with such certainty, it didn't seem like he was lying! And he could accurately state the time you met!

Hongmeng's First Affection: What's interesting now is that, apart from his younger brother, no one else, no surveillance footage recorded any clues or impressions of his older brother. Even the barbershop that he and his brother went to, the owner said that Guo Xiaoqiang was the only one who came to get his hair cut and dyed that day. He even said that Guo Xiaoqiang paid a large sum of cash of 1,000 yuan and a tip of 200 yuan!

Fifteenth Realm Martial Artist: Bullshit! Before I transmigrated, I was dirt poor. I was a fitness instructor with a basic salary of two thousand yuan a month. My brother and I couldn't even afford food and rent. A haircut cost a thousand yuan, and I even got a two hundred yuan tip. Isn't that ridiculous?

Master of Machines: In summary, could the current situation be interpreted as someone having disguised himself as the hometown of the martial arts master Guo Xiaoming, met your brother, and taken him out for a meal and a haircut?

Fifteenth-level martial artist: Yes, that must be it! There must be some bastard who impersonated me and met with my brother! Moreover, the other party's methods are superb. The outdated technology and monitoring methods in our hometown are obviously unable to record the other party. It is even said that the other party can interfere with the causal bond, causing all those who have seen him to lose fragments of their memories of him.

Immortal God of Law: If the other party can interfere with people's memories, forcibly modify cause and effect, and make those who have seen him lose fragments of their memories about him, why does Guo Xiaoqiang still retain them?

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Simple, because Ye Feng was watching Guo Xiaoqiang. Although Ye Feng's abilities were average, he was still a transmigrator. Transmigrators have their own unique transmigration magnetic field, also called a system magnetic field. The system magnetic field has a novice protection period, during which it can automatically become immune to the influence of super strong individuals in terms of will and cause and effect. Ye Feng's magnetic field protected Guo Xiaoqiang, making him temporarily immune to the other party's cause-and-effect deletion and bond interference.

Fifteenth-level martial artist: So, the person my brother encountered must be a fake.

Ye Feng asked: What is a fake person?

Master of Machines: The pseudo-human refers to a disguised entity that is highly realistic in appearance/behavior but not human in essence. This kind of creature can imitate and kill a human, and then disguise itself as this human to continue living in place of the original owner. There are many sources of this kind of creature. Some are projections of some big shots, some are the thoughts of the deceased owner, and some are the thoughts of the deceased's beloved relatives and friends.

Ye Feng said: That sounds a bit abstract.

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: It is indeed very abstract, and with your current level of understanding, it is difficult to explain it clearly to you. When you personally meet the fake man one day, you will know what it is.

Ye Feng asked: "Then what should I do now?"

Hongmeng's First Deepest Affection: Guo Xiaoqiang has been targeted by a fake person. What is the other party after targeting Guo Xiaoqiang?

Ye Feng said: That's hard to say. There's nothing noteworthy about Guo Xiaoqiang. He's white-haired, a poor student, and if I don't go looking for him, he'll just be a nobody, someone no one will remember.

Fifteenth-level martial artist: Stop talking nonsense! If they're targeting my brother, they must be after me! It must be some enemy BOSS who has a grudge against me projecting their backyard to find my brother, wanting to turn him into my enemy, and then use him to kill me!

Master of Machines: So now Guo Xiaoqiang has to follow Ye Feng. At least until that fake man is caught, following Ye Feng will allow Ye Feng's system magnetic field to keep the fake man at bay.

Ye Feng asked: "Will the fake man kill me and Guo Xiaoqiang together?"

Master of Machines: Impossible! Your projection livestream is always on. If you were killed by the fake humans, we old folks could see the traces of them through the projection, deduce their background, and wipe out their entire race!

Ye Feng said, "Alright, that's settled then. I'll head out now."

Back in reality, Ye Feng felt his head buzzing.

A pseudo-human, a higher-dimensional projection, an unnameable existence...

Although I haven't traveled through time, enemies have already come to deal with me.

"Ye Feng!" the advisor asked, "Are you alright?"

Ye Feng said, "I've run into a bit of trouble. Advisor, could you find someone to ask Guo Xiaoqiang for leave? Guo Xiaoqiang's been sticking with me lately!"

The advisor didn't understand, but he respected Ye Feng's idea. "Alright, I'll have someone ask for leave for Guo Xiaoqiang. He can come with us for now!"

Ye Feng nodded, "Yes, actually you don't need to follow me all the time. Just don't keep more than five kilometers away from me as the crow flies. If you do, something terrible will happen."

The advisor asked, "Something big has happened? What happened?"

Ye Feng said, "Someone wants to use Guo Xiaoqiang to kill me."

The advisor was stunned for a moment. "How could this be? Xiao Ye, don't talk nonsense, how could this be..."

"It's true, an enemy I can't see." Ye Feng's eyes were firm. "I'm being watched, and those people won't let me go."

The advisor was shocked to see Ye Feng like this. Who, who would kill Ye Feng? What kind of opponent was he?

The advisor thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Ye Feng, I'll get you and Guo Xiaoqiang electronic identities. Once the distance between you exceeds that, an alarm will be triggered."

Ye Feng said, "Okay."

The advisor then asked, "So, when are we going to report to the South Heavenly Gate?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, at least not for the time being. I won't go to Nantianmen until that enemy is found, as it would jeopardize the Nantianmen plan."

The advisor said, "Alright, then I'll arrange a place with tight security for you to stay in, to guard against that unseen enemy you mentioned."

Ye Feng nodded, "Okay, it's best if there aren't too many people here, the quieter the better."

The advisor said, "Alright! I'll arrange it for you right away!"
