We had not insisted on destroying that spacetime node.
What the young Xu Qiuyan said made us feel as though we had been played for fools.
The one we had encountered was very likely another pseudo Doctor.
And he had ambitions as well: to seize the entire Void Realm, then cut off that passage. That way, those in the Void Realm would be unable to leave, and no one outside would ever be able to enter again.
As long as he could take over that base and gain the mechanical beasts' trust and support, the entire Void Realm would fall into his hands.
So I felt that our top priority was no longer the spacetime node, but that pseudo Doctor.
Though we called him a pseudo Doctor, he seemed to know a great deal about the Void Realm.
It was not my fault. To me, all Doctors looked the same.
It was like how other people saw Jiang Xiaohui and me—no, not quite. Jiang Xiaohui and I still had some differences, but my counterparts could look completely identical to me. Even their subtle expressions were impossible to distinguish.
Even when I faced them myself, if we wore the same clothes, I felt as if I were looking into a mirror.
Of course, that did not mean our personalities were exactly alike. After all, our life experiences had all been very similar.
"But what are we supposed to do if we go to the base now?" Jiang Xiaohui asked. I looked at the young Xu Qiuyan.
"I don't know either."
Her answer was very straightforward. "That is your problem. I'm following you now; I just want to get out of here sooner. I originally thought I could go back once I found that spacetime node, but that was not the case."
