"If it's a clone, why would its genes be defective?"
"Are you really this clueless, or are you pretending?"
I blinked. Wait, wasn't I supposed to be the one asking questions?
"You're a strange clone. When the other clones heard what I said, they practically went mad..."
Yeah... If I found out I was a clone, I'd probably go mad too.
"What if I told you I'm not a clone?"
"How could that be possible? A seven-star can't regress. Fang Yuxuan died in Chang'an. Back when the three cities were evacuated,
the two Fang Yuxuans who appeared were probably
the result of a deployment mistake by the organization..."
Seriously? He'd suspected me from the very beginning!
"Too bad... You guessed wrong..."
I spoke calmly and straightened up, watching him. His confidence put me on guard, so
while we talked, I had Tuanzi
eat away nearly all the concrete beneath the open ground around us. By now, only a thin layer of earth remained beneath our feet.
"I'm done wasting words on you. I'll catch you first and ask my questions later..."
As I spoke, I glanced at Tuanzi on my shoulder. Tuanzi understood at once and nodded. At the same moment, the ground
beneath us suddenly shuddered!
"Ha! I knew you'd try that!"
He cried out as black fluid instantly spread across the ground around us. Even his feet
were already covered.
But... why did something feel wrong?
He was far too relaxed.
"Do you really think this stuff will work on me?"
He smiled. Suddenly, something slipped from his sleeve, and a bottle dropped to the ground. With a sharp crack,
the laboratory-looking glass
bottle shattered. At the same time, Tuanzi's mind sent an overwhelming sense of danger into mine.
"Cut it off!"
There was no time to think.
