Two-in-One Item, One-in-Two Profession

As Fern finished speaking, her demeanor seemed to completely transform into that of a different person.

Although there was no change in appearance or attire, subtle changes in posture and expression were enough for Lin Yu to immediately sense that the other person had been "replaced".

The fern just now gave the impression of being capable and intelligent, while also carrying a hint of cunning and playful frivolity.

At this moment, this entity, which should perhaps be called "algae," gives people a feeling of...

Sharp and fierce.

A sharp and piercing edge.

More than ten sharp blades fell to the ground, as if submitting to the woman before them.

She stood ramrod straight, her already tall figure appearing even more upright.

"Tier 3 opponent," she stared at Twenty as if examining a piece of meat, "Is indeed a formidable adversary."

He frowned.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Even though he already knew that "May May" was just one of the identities of the person he was investigating, and that the other party had the ability to use multiple "Profession".

Furthermore, given the other party's background in performing arts, this multi- Profession ability is very likely acquired through "acting".

So Nian subconsciously assumed that the woman wearing a mask was Lin Yu in disguise.

But now...

Twenty also realized something.

"This guy must have Split Personality... Is he really Lin Yu?"

"Could I have made a mistake?!"

But there was no time to think about that anymore.

Because the algae are about to make their move.

"Whoosh..."

A rough, sounding noise, like heavy objects being dragged across the sand, rang out.

Zao didn't rush towards Nian; she simply pulled out a new [Item].

[Item] that exist as "weapons".

It's still a sword.

However, compared to the blades on the ground that the previous "ferns" had used as "Flying Sword," this sword was ridiculously large.

It was a simple, ancient-style two-handed greatsword—its cyan blade shimmered with rainbow arcs of light, and it was held behind Zao.

Just by looking at it, you could tell that this thing was in a very dangerous situation.

Zao also slightly bent over.

"Detective," because A-Ju asked me to kill you if possible.

"So, I will do everything in my power to try and kill you."

She explained it in a very serious manner, but her words were so strange that they could almost be called "humorous."

"This is really ridiculous," Twenty said, gathering the black ink back into his form and looking at the cat above him. "I'll pay you for three days' worth of 'sleep' and 'five senses' after this Game is over."

"Okay," the Black Cat twitched its ears, sighed, and looked at Twenty. "Then you have to hold on for five minutes."

"No problem."

Twenty responded briefly.

These conversations did not shy away from algae.

Upon hearing this, she began to analyze the situation seriously.

"So, in about five minutes, your cat will probably unleash some amazing skill, right?"

"Looks like I need to hurry!"

The moment the words left her lips, the algae began to move.

She took a step back, then lowered her shoulders and turned her waist, swinging the heavy sword, which was almost as tall as her, with greatsword.

"Bang!"

The cyan heavy sword was almost smashed towards Nian, but he retreated rapidly, avoiding the attack.

"Bang!"

The ground trembled, leaving a deep dent from the cleavage of the heavy sword.

Twenty wasn't just dodging; in the instant he dodged, his hand also reached forward.

The "Nightmare" once again transformed into a black python, coiling towards the heavy sword that had lost its momentum and crashed to the ground.

"Go!"

As Nian had already noticed, although the weapon had become much heavier, Zao's appearance had not resulted in any significant improvement in her physical abilities.

She still relied on "skill" to wield the heavy sword.

Therefore... the opponent's physical strength is definitely not an invincible advantage.

Twenty chooses to use "Nightmare Substance" to wrestle with the opponent!

The decision seemed fine; the moment the Nightmare Substance gripped the heavy sword, Zao's movements became noticeably slower.

"Hateful."

Zao's exposed half of her face appeared somewhat flushed, and the veins on her hands bulged and her knuckles protruded.

However... despite the difficulty, Zao still managed to drag the longsword off the ground and sling it over her shoulder once more.

But this slow movement already gave them enough strength to counterattack.

He continued to manipulate the "Nightmare Substance" with both hands, while the whites of his eyes turned somewhat gray.

Layers of gray blurred his vision, and then, a gray and blurry hand reached out from behind him.

"Hiss--"

A rustling sound arose, and Lin Yu frowned slightly.

This grayish-white hand reminded Lin Yu of the "Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human".

It's like some kind of shared origin.

Do you know the origin of this hand?

Lin Yu asked Old Zheng, the living encyclopedia.

Unfortunately, it is not included in Old Zheng's encyclopedia.

"I'm not quite sure, is it something from Night Valley? But it doesn't quite look like it..."

"Anyway, it shouldn't be this kid's [Exclusive item]."

Old Zheng spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

But regardless, since Old Zheng doesn't recognize it, it means that this must be a very rare trump card.

So he decided to see what this thing was good for.

Then, a grayish-white, blurry-edged, trembling human hand was seen groping in the air...

Then, as if it had found some crack, it probed directly inside.

The first half of the grayish-white hand simply vanished—as if it had reached into some kind of "entrance" in the air.

Just as Lin Yu was wondering where the hand had gone, a painful groan from Zao gave Lin Yu the answer.

"Hiss--"

A grayish-white hand emerged from her lower abdomen, dripping with blood and fragments of internal organs.

Although he didn't know the underlying principle, Lin Yu understood the effect!

This thing has the other end of the "exit" inside the algae.

And just as that hand was about to slowly retract...

Algae grabbed it tightly.

"What a bizarre and unorthodox method," she said, gripping the hand tightly. With her other hand, she dragged the longsword forward and took a step. "But... this is where it ends."

"The sun shines brightly, and all things receive its grace; the way of Heavenly Dao is clear, and all laws convey profound mysteries—"

Zao's voice rang out loudly, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

And lines of mysterious, curling Talismans and incantations lit up on the cyan heavy sword.

Old Zheng's voice rang out, almost a scream.

"Her Profession is 'monk,' and that greatsword is simultaneously a first and second tier [Item] for 'monks'—a [Magical Artifacts] and a [Scepter of Discipline]!"

Lin Yu was also somewhat shocked.

"Could these two [Item] be the same thing?"

The two Tier 1 [Profession Item] for "monks" are [Magical Artifacts] and [scriptures].

"Because the [Scepter of Discipline] is designed to enchant an existing [Item]... it's normal for a 'monk' to choose a [Magical Artifacts], but..."

"How could her [Magical Artifacts] be a greatsword?! What kind of religion does she believe in? This girl is really suspicious!"

Old Zheng said, puzzled.

"Yes, and more than the two-in-one [Item], I'm curious about... that her two personalities actually have different 'Profession'?"
