Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

"You don't have to pay the commission fee. This is just to verify your determination to know the truth."

Aiyin: "But, I asked this question because I want Xiaodeng to know the truth. If I don't tell her the truth, she won't be able to continue to form a band..."

Su Shi looked at Ain, and was even more ecstatic in his heart: There was no need for him to induce her, Ain took the initiative to solve Xiao Deng's problem, and even came to Chen Mo to collect information about Oblivionis. This was simply a gift from God to him!

She pretended to be surprised and asked, "Xiao Aiyin, do you want to form a band with Xiao Deng?"

Aine nodded, and Sushi said, clasping her fingers together, "Is that so? That's great. I used to be the bassist for CRYCHIC, and I was really upset when the band disbanded.

Xiao Aiyin, if you form a band, can I join it?"

Aine was extremely surprised: "Really?! Of course! Soyo-san, love!"

Su Shi: "It's great that you don't call me by that weird nickname."

Chen Mo: "This is my request. The truth of the matter is too cruel, and even a simple person like Deng may not be able to accept it.

Once you know the truth, you should use white lies to appease her. That's the best thing for everyone, understand?"

Since it is a deception, a simple lie with only one layer is easy to be exposed. Wasn’t oblivionis’ identity doubted last time?

Let them hide the truth from each other and deceive each other, and let everyone have different misunderstandings, which will make the truth even more chaotic.

Aine was at her wit's end; "Okay, fine. I'll find a way to talk to Xiao Deng when the time comes."

Chen Mo: "Okay, now let me tell you the truth about oblivionis.

First of all, Oblivionis and Toyokawa Shoko are two different people, but they have a very complicated relationship.”

Aine: "But why did Xiao Deng say that it was Xiangzi who was at the mall that day?"

Chen Mo: "Xiao Deng was also deceived at that time. Have you heard of a substitute doll?"

Chapter 6 The messy story begins

Chen Mo introduced seriously:

"Oblivionis is a puppet, created to serve as a substitute for Toyokawa Shoko. This is a very mysterious magic, a magical substitute created at great cost, so her appearance is exactly the same as Toyokawa Shoko. In fact, it's more than just appearance, because this puppet is created by magic, her precise mimicry is comprehensive."

"The appearance is the same, the temperament is the same, even the souls seen by the clairvoyant are the same."

Su Shi was incredulous: "Is it really possible for a puppet to do this?"

Chen Mo: "Don't you believe there's magic in this world? Take a good look. Doesn't this house seem to defy common sense?"

Su Shi looked around and found that the space in this room was indeed unusually large, not a normal space.

If you look more closely, you will find that the items displayed around are not just ordinary mystical decorations.

A moss-covered stone shrine, a photo on a memorial tablet for burning incense is a book, and rows of strangely shaped swords are placed in the cabinet...

Su Shi and Aine's hearts were in suspense, and a chill ran up their spines. Had they really accidentally stepped into an unusual world?

Chen Mo secretly used magic to blow cold wind, creating the atmosphere of telling a ghost story:

"So, is what you see truly real? Do you really have the courage to face the truth that is about to unfold?"

"Even so, I still want to know the truth!"

These words only made Su Shi more determined. She became excited and said, "This kind of thing is too hard to believe. A doll that looks exactly like the real person is simply a scam that cannot be verified!"

Very good, it seems that this person is not completely stupid and is aware of the basic scams.

Unfortunately, this travel mage knows magic!

Chen Mo: "Then let me prove it to you."

Chen Mo issued a command in his mind, asking a divine creature in the basement to come out and show itself:

-

Metal Mimicry Machine

Costs 2 mana

Source: Kaladesh

Category Artifact Creature/Shapeshifter

Strength 2 Health 1

Special effect

1. Select a species of creature that the metal mimicry machine can transform into.

2 Creatures of the same type summoned by the manipulator gain +1/+1

-

A golden mechanical figure walked out, its skin covered with intricate metallic patterns, and where the patterns intersected, it glowed with blue etheric light.

This is a transformation artifact made by craftsmen from Kaladesh. The pattern on its surface changed for a while, and under Chen Mo's command, it began to show a new form.

Its body and appearance changed into that of Chen Mo, and then into the appearance of Aiyin and Su Shi, so lifelike that if Su Shi hadn't seen the transformation process with his own eyes, he would have thought that there really was another self standing there.

Chen Mo: "This is a crude model. It can only transform upon command. It has no consciousness of its own. Moreover, its body has a metallic texture after transformation.

But it also proves that what I said is correct. As long as we increase the investment, it is absolutely possible to make magic dolls that are exactly the same as real people."

Aine opened her mouth wide: "This, this is simply amazing!"

Chen Mo's face darkened: "So, Oblivionis's true identity is a puppet.

The purpose of her creation was to serve as a substitute for Toyokawa Shoko, able to perfectly deceive everyone.

But oblivionis has her own consciousness, and she is unwilling to live just as a substitute, a copy, so she behaves completely differently from the original Xiangzi.

And she really hates it when others mention Toyokawa Shoko's identity in front of her."

Aine recalled the few times she had interacted with Xiangzi at school. It was indeed like this: Xiangzi had always kept to herself and hardly communicated with others. Even most of her classmates only knew of Fengchuan but didn't know her name. When she talked to her about the past, she always seemed disgusted and evasive, and even talked about "revenge"...

Oblivionis hates being Xiangzi's substitute. She wants to escape, to rebel against her fate, and to take revenge on the Toyokawa family.

Aine was filled with guilt for unintentionally hurting someone. "I see. No wonder Oblivionis's attitude was so bad. I kept asking about something he wanted to avoid... I was too much."

Su Shi stared at the metal mimicry in a daze, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, where is the real Xiaoxiang?"

Chen Mo: "The real Xiangzi has left Japan to study abroad.

The Toyokawa family is a large chaebol, and as the heir to the family, Xiangzi will inevitably be involved in this cruel struggle between the clans, regardless of his own wishes.

"According to the intelligence I know, someone wanted to target Toyokawa Shoko and sent assassins, and even a magician cast a spell on her.

In order to protect her, her father left the Toyokawa family with oblivionis, as a false pretense to confuse others, that the real Shoko had gone to live safely abroad.

So, do you understand why I asked you to keep it a secret? The darkness of the Toyokawa family is terrifying. For your own safety and Xiangzi's safety, you should not delve into it further and do not come here to find me again. "

Aine: "Oblivionis is so pitiful. Her name and identity belong to someone else. No wonder she's so reluctant to take over Xiangzi's affairs."

Chen Mo: "I'm glad you understand."

"Great."

Su Shi suddenly lost her composure when she uttered these words, and the clipped tone she had been maintaining disappeared, replaced by her true and sincere tone.

She shed tears uncontrollably: "That's great, I knew this must not be Xiaoxiang's fault. She didn't abandon us. No one at CRYCHIC is wrong."

Su Shi felt a sense of relief in his heart, as if an invisible burden had been lifted.

For a long time, Xiangzi's departure was like a dark cloud weighing on her heart. Although she said that no one was wrong, the mystery of why it happened at that time has always lingered in her mind.

Was it because Xiao Deng had put in too much effort in her debut performance? Was it because something he did had angered Xiangzi? Was it because Xiao Mu was no longer happy playing in a band?

Or am I the only one who loves CRYCHIC, and everyone else is already tired of it?

That’s great! It turns out that the disbandment of CRYCHIC was not everyone’s fault, and the good times we had were not an illusion.

Even though Xiangzi is missing now, and the setting is mixed with unrealistic fantasy, the difficulty of finding her has increased dramatically.

But as long as everyone has each other in their hearts, things will be resolved and we will be able to reunite!

Ai Lumao jumped in front of Xiangzi again and said, "The boss asked me to tell you that it's solved perfectly, meow."

Xiangzi: "Really? What did Chen Mo say?"

Felynx: "Boss said the real you went abroad to study, meow."

"Okay, Chen Mo, you're really amazing. You managed to get rid of these two troubles so easily!"

Studying abroad is a good excuse. They certainly have no way to verify it, and it is impossible for them to actually go abroad to verify its authenticity.

Xiangzi sneezed. Although he was quite satisfied with Chen Mo's handling of the situation, he still felt a vague sense of unease. Would this go wrong?

Chapter 7 The Girl Who Beats the Ghost

The early morning sunlight poured in through the window, and Jianzi woke up from his sleep and stretched comfortably.

She stood up and habitually looked at the trash can outside the window: very good, the garbage was piled together neatly, there was no half-bleeding human body, and no evil spirits with twisted and hideous faces.

It was such a peaceful morning. There were no dark shadows or strange ghosts in the room. Everything seemed so beautiful and so normal.

After Chen Mo eliminated the mountain god, Jianzi finally lived a life without daily fear. Although she still possessed a strong Yin-Yang vision, there were few ghosts that did not appear before her during this period.

Yes, even if we can see those things, the existence of so many evil spirits in the world is itself wrong.

After having breakfast, Jianzi said goodbye to her mother and brother, and before leaving, she left a pudding for her father. The reason why there are almost no ghosts is that Jianzi's father has been living in the house as a spirit after his death, forming a kind of earthbound spirit.

Now Jianzi's father is alive and well, but in the previous battle, the dog-shaped evil spirit beside him was sucked away by the mountain god, making the old father a little lonely.

But if I want my son to live happily, I have to accept the loss of an evil pet with great pain.

"Huh!? Jianzi actually joined a club! Which club is it?"

At school, when Hua heard that Jianzi was no longer a member of the Wannian Home Club, he slammed the table in surprise:

"Is it the Paranormal Research Club? I remember you were into paranormal stuff. Or is it the light music club? Or are you planning on forming a band?"
