Who's the Fish?

Early in the morning, Baihe Hua got out of bed with dark circles under her eyes. Although she seemed to be less afraid of the cold after awakening her Stand, she still struggled in bed for a long time until the second alarm rang before finally getting out.

Of course, the main reason she was so confident in staying in bed was because it was Saturday.

"So, if it's Saturday, why did you set two alarms?"

An inorganic voice suddenly rang in her ears, Baihe Hua immediately shuddered, only then remembering that she already had a Stand. She spoke in a somewhat forceful tone:

"Aren't you my double? Don't you realize that?"

"Of course I know you're here to go shopping with Rinka, but according to human custom, it should be common Qidian to start a conversation with a question that everyone knows and that has no secrets."

Feng Xue maintained her mechanical voice, giving off a cold, machine-like feeling, as if she were learning human thought processes. Baihe Hua felt particularly uncomfortable with this, and she waved her hand forcefully, saying:

"Besides this, were there any other Weird Tale last night?"

"No." Feng Xue shook her head and answered decisively. Baihe Hua didn't doubt it at all, and casually grabbed a biscuit from the bedside table and stuffed it into her mouth.

As the nutrients entered her body, Feng Xue began circulating her cultivation technique without hesitation, using her Internal Force to transform the nutrients into the embryo of the Gu Poison Body. Although this process would keep Baihe Hua in a state of constant hunger, it was not entirely without benefit to her.

Feng Xue's current actions are tantamount to her passively enduring a Martial Arts Grandmaster constantly expending her Internal Force to strengthen her physique. This is why she didn't feel the weight of carrying dozens of kilograms of weight before.

If this situation continues, it won't be long before Baihe Hua can transform into a frail woman with both strength and speed at A-rank, simply by relying on her physical body.

Although Baihe Hua had come to believe that Feng Xue was her stand-in, due to some habits and psychological issues, she was still somewhat hesitant. When she went to the toilet or changed clothes, she would always call Feng Xue out first and have him stay outside the door.

After about half an hour of commotion, Baihe Hua walked out of her house in her everyday clothes. As soon as the door closed, she regretted it a little, because what came in front of her was a ghost wearing a pale bone mask, an oversized trench coat, and a strong smell of blood. He also Weird Tale a blood-stained big knife on his back.

Although this guy looked more like a human than the other Weird Tale she had encountered before, Baihe Hua could clearly sense that he was from a completely different dimension.

"This is bad, this is bad, this is really bad... This guy is extremely bad!"

Baihe Hua watched the other person approaching, she immediately tried to look away, but her head was once again held in place by the Stand's power.

"Don't look away, and don't use that lame excuse you gave. This guy is different from the others. Don't think you can fool him. Keep walking, don't stop. I'll help you control your expression."

An inorganic voice surfaced in her mind. Baihe Hua didn't know if it was because the Stand was working or because she had actually relaxed because of the voice, but she could clearly feel that her originally violently beating heart began to stabilize and her breathing rate gradually returned to normal. She took a step as usual, completely ignoring the bloody smell lingering around her nose.

The Weird Tale, at least two meters tall, brushed past her, but in that instant, a powerful killing intent erupted.

Baihe Hua didn't know why she understood that it was murderous intent, but without a doubt, the terrifying feeling that it could kill her dozens of times in an instant almost suffocated her.

But nothing happened. Her heart, her breathing, everything about her seemed completely disconnected from her mind. Even though she was about to faint, her body was still slowly taking steps, and she even had the leisure to kick a nicely shaped pebble on the ground.

"It wasn't her."

A soft gasp came from the masked monster, and the pungent smell of blood faded into the distance. Little did Baihe Hua know that as they passed each other, her "stand-in" had planted a seed in the other's body.

"It actually worked!" Feng Xue was quite emotional at this moment. In fact, he was prepared to be discovered, but since he wasn't, that was all the better.

"I wonder what kind of Weird Tale this guy is..." Looking at the raging ghost Supernatural Tale Fire, Feng Xue felt that even if this guy wasn't a cadre in the Hundred Tales, he should at least be a captain or something.

As Feng Xue pondered, she suddenly heard Baihe Hua's somewhat intense inner voice—

"Have they left?"

"Hmm, it's no longer visible." Feng Xue sensed the Weird Tale that had entered Baihe Hua's house, but didn't tell her about it.

"Phew, I'm saved! What was that? It felt really bad!" Baihe Hua breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the wall somewhat numbly. After taking several deep breaths, she finally came to her senses. Feng Xue didn't answer her question, but instead reminded her:

"Don't make such an obvious move. Who knows if a Weird Tale will pop up around the next corner? This area is clearly being targeted by Weird Tale, so it's always better to be careful."

"Yes, I understand."

Baihe Hua rubbed the corners of her eyes, wiping away a few tears, then took out her phone, exclaimed "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" and quickened her pace as she ran towards the shopping street.

Baihe Hua quickly met up with Rinka and they began a relatively pleasant shopping trip, while Feng Xue assessed the current situation by sensing the location of the seeds she had scattered the night before.

"The search area roughly covers the entire Dongtian Zhaozhou Town, and is concentrated in residential houses and apartments. Although there are some in the commercial districts, the density is much lower. In addition, they have conducted several rounds of searches on Baihe Hua and her house, and even assigned surveillance personnel... Is it because they have already discovered that door?"

Feng Xue tossed a seed at a passing Weird Tale, pondering to herself. There were noticeably more High-level Supernatural Tale on the street today than yesterday. Perhaps this was because the Low-level Supernatural Tale were slacking off, but Feng Xue preferred to believe another explanation—

Their control over the Descent Rule is about to expire.

Although it's unclear whether this failure is due to the depletion of abilities or conditions, or because something within the Hundred Tales itself is conflicting with it, it's certain that they won't maintain this state for very long.

However, Feng Xue did not plan to release his Main Body immediately. In the end, he felt that his current state was quite good for intelligence gathering. Apart from the fact that his range of action and Combat Power were limited by the host, he had virtually no drawbacks.

More importantly, he was curious why those Weird Tale didn't arrest Baihe Hua directly.

After all, the door that was open but inaccessible (because the opposite side was the Tower of Tower of Babel villa, and entry was prohibited without permission) was quite conspicuous in the world of Weird Tale. With a careful search, it shouldn't be difficult to find out where you came from.

And now, Hundred Tales's surveillance of Baihe Hua's family has clearly taken note of this.

However, they did not arrest Baihe Hua for questioning.

Do you think he left immediately after going out?

Or do you still feel that he's not the type to care about ordinary people?

Or perhaps... they're just fishing?

"Interesting..."
