Ace and Marco were originally on their way to Baterilla Island.

It was almost there. One second, Ace was flying semi-elementally on the sea. Later, his vision went dark, the flames on his body were extinguished instantly, and he fell straight down.

Fortunately, Marco reacted quickly and caught him immediately, thus avoiding the crisis of Ace falling into the sea.

"Ace? What's wrong with you?" Marco brought Ace to the coast of Baterilla Island, patted Ace's face with his hand, "Are you asleep? Get up and eat. If you don't come back, I will eat up all the meat and wine."

Ace fell asleep inexplicably, not once or twice. Many times, he would fall asleep while eating, so Marco didn't notice anything wrong at first.

It wasn't until Ace couldn't wake up no matter how much he called, and even the temptation of food couldn't wake Ace up, that Marco realized the seriousness of the problem.

Marco couldn't laugh or cry, "No way... Could it be that your kid also went to the place where that brat Lin Mo went..."

Cangxuan Continent.

Although the appearance of Ace surprised Kaku, but if you think about it carefully, you will not be surprised at all the mysterious things that you have experienced along the way.

Lin Mo is relatively calm. He already knew that someone would come, so he was mentally prepared for it.

As for Lin Feng, he didn't expect that his seemingly casual words would actually come true like this?

"He is... one of your Crew Member?" Lin Feng asked dumbfounded.

Lin Mo nodded lightly.

Ace scratched his head and said helplessly, "I'm almost there Baterilla Island. Forget it, since I'm here and it's a rare opportunity, let's have some fun. This place is a little different from what I imagined."

Ace looked at the messy woods around him, touched his chin and asked, "Did you just experience a big battle here?"

"That's not true." Kaku said helplessly, "It was already like this when we came here."

Lin Mo said nothing.

In my mind, the system beep sounded again.

'Didi! Complete the wish of Hidden Mission'Lin Feng' and you will be rewarded with unlocking a random skill.'

'Didi! The skill extraction is successful. Congratulations to the host for unlocking the skill, Shadow Imitation Technique. The current available skills for the host are Flash Step, Cell Regeneration and Shadow Imitation Technique. The Night Guy skill is locked and needs to be completed to unlock it.'

Upon hearing this, there was no emotion on Lin Mo's face.

Although having more skills is a good thing, Shadow Imitation Technique still has many limitations. No matter where it is, it can only be used to make unexpected moves.

However, something is better than nothing.

Without thinking much, Lin Mo asked from the bottom of his heart, "Can I check the details of the progress tasks?"

'Didi! The host needs to explore it himself.'

That means no comment.

Lin Mo didn't ask any more questions. He knew that he wouldn't be able to find out what he wanted to know if he continued to ask.

However, one thing he is certain of is that the key to completing the progress tasks in this world lies in Lin Feng.

Lin Mo looked towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Ace who appeared out of thin air, thoughtfully.

Ace grinned broadly. "Hahaha, it's really interesting. I like unknown adventures the most!"

Lin Feng noticed Lin Mo's gaze and turned to look at him. "What? Is there something on my face?"

Lin Mo asked expressionlessly, "Do you want to reply directly to Red Dust Inn?"

Lin Feng shrugged and said, "All the Spirit Beast here have been dispersed, and the high-ranking ones have all been eaten by that strange 'creature'. Moreover, it looks like that guy wants to eat us all and leave us here, waiting to be eaten? Orochimaru is protecting me on the surface. In fact, I think he hopes that I will be eaten right away. Orochimaru is not reliable at all."

"He just doesn't trust us yet." Lin Mo said calmly, "If you get his approval and he is here, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will still have a way to protect you from death."

"It's difficult to get his approval." Lin Feng continued, "Although we have only been in contact for a short time, I can see that he is a very suspicious and ambitious person. Unless there is an exchange condition that he cannot refuse, he will not compromise easily."

"You're very good at judging people." Lin Mo hasn't finished speaking yet.

A murderous aura suddenly struck from far to near.

Kaku and Ace noticed it for the first time and immediately prepared for battle reflexively.

Seeing this, Lin Feng took out the Teleportation Talisman given by Lu Qi without caring about anything else, and activated it without saying anything.

White Light After a while, Lin Mo and his group disappeared.

The moment Lin Mo disappeared, Ant King and Orochimaru chased after them.

"Their breath has disappeared?" Ant King narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru explained, "It should be a teleportation spell. This spell is unique to this world. Even you can't catch up with them who use Teleportation Talisman, unless you can stop them before they use Teleportation Talisman."

"Teleportation Talisman?" Ant King hasn't finished speaking yet.

A gentle voice came from behind him.

"Why, you want to run away after hurting my student?" Aizen was holding his sword, his clothes were torn, and he looked a little tired, standing behind Ant King.

Red Dust Inn.

Lin Mo's group appeared in the middle of the Red Dust Inn's internal lobby after a brief period of dizziness.

At this time, Lu Qi was happily having a drinking fistfight with his shop assistants.

The appearance of Lin Mo did not surprise the few people who were having fun.

Lu Qi also said casually, "Hey, I'm back. It's a coincidence that it's lunch time. You guys are dogs, right?"

When Lu Qi said this, his shop assistants burst out laughing.

Lin Feng said disapprovingly, "The mission is completed."

As he spoke, he threw the spiritual weapon containing Spirit Beast towards Lu Qi.

Lu Qi caught it with his backhand, and then threw the spiritual weapon to Hong Ling: "I'll leave it to you."

Hong Ling muttered, "It's so annoying. I'm just a kid of a few years old. Is it really okay to exploit child labor like this?"

Mo Chenxue covered his mouth and smiled, "The cultivation level of this child is much higher than that of those who have practiced hard for thirty years. I have never seen such a powerful child."

"Oh, it's too late." Lu Qi said in a relaxed tone, "She can only handle two or three Third-Rank Spirit Beast at once. When I was her age, I could already fight Second-Rank Spirit Beast alone."

Hong Ling made a face to him. "Blah Blah Blah, only a ghost will believe you."

Lu Qi smiled and stopped arguing with Hong Ling. He turned his eyes and originally wanted to ask Lin Mo what he thought about going to the Spirit Beast Mountains this time. When he saw Lin Mo looking around, and quickly His eyes were fixed on Ace, who was on the large table of food. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and with a 'swish', he teleported in front of Ace, and said very strangely, "You are still alive! Lin Mo, that's okay. It seems that you have changed the fate of many people."

Chapter 1213 Cangxuan Continent: It's family

After listening to Lu Qi's words, everyone present except Lin Mo was confused.

Ace bared his teeth and said with a smile, "Listen to what you say, shouldn't I be alive?"

"No, I don't mean that." Lu Qi shook his head and said, "Well... I can only say that you are still alive, which is great."

As soon as Lu Qi finished speaking, Kaku looked at him thoughtfully.

Then, he moved his eyes to Lin Mo, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Captain, I have something to say to you."

Lin Mo glanced at him, nodded silently, and followed Kaku out first.

Lin Feng looked at the backs of Lin Mo and Kaku, and remained silent without speaking.

Lu Qi greeted Ace warmly, and they ate meat, drank wine, and played wine boxing with him.

Ace joined the meal naturally.

Hong Ling asked Lin Feng to come and eat too, but Lin Feng refused and went directly back to his room and started meditating.

After walking out of Red Dust Inn, Kaku used Calm-Calm Fruit's ability to cover himself and Lin Mo.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mo asked strangely.

Kaku glanced at Lu Qi who was fistfighting with Ace inside the inn, and asked directly, "Captain, is the Shopkeeper in this inn your clone?"

Hearing this, several question marks popped up on Lin Mo's head, "Why do you ask that?"

Kaku withdrew his gaze, stared at Lin Mo, and continued, "Although it can be seen from his conversation and behavior that he and Captain have different personalities, sometimes he feels very familiar to me, and some of the words you said are very similar. Moreover, I have observed that his body shape is the same as Captain, and some of his little habits are also the same..."

It was all these signs that made Kaku suspicious.

When Kaku said this, Lin Mo was confused.

It's understandable that they have the same body shape. They are the same person living in different Parallel Spacetime.

As for the content of these words, it is normal for them to be somewhat similar.

But this little habit...

Lin Mo I don't even know what little habits I have.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo asked directly, "What are your habits?"

Kaku was a little surprised. "Captain, don't you even know it yourself?"

Lin Mo gave him a speechless look that said, "You have to figure it out yourself."

Kaku couldn't help but laughed and said, "Haha, it's nothing actually. You just drink half a glass of wine before eating. If there is no wine, you will drink water. When picking up food, your hands will hold the back two-thirds of the chopsticks. After eating, you will place the chopsticks neatly on the right side of the bowl and close to the bowl."

Hearing this, Lin Mo fell silent.

Kaku continued, "Every morning when you wake up, you will sit there in a daze for a minute before getting up. When you go out of the room, you will step out with your right foot first. When fishing, you will hold the side of your face with your left hand. You will take a deep breath before getting angry. When you want to hit someone, you will pinch your index finger with your right thumb, and..."

"Wait a minute." Lin Mo sounded more and more uncomfortable, "Are these... all my habits?"

Kaku nodded and responded, "Yes, these are the conclusions I have drawn after observing for a long time."

Although, some habits are understandable, but it doesn't matter which foot steps out first, it's outrageous.

Lin Mo asked speechlessly, "Step out with your right foot first, are you serious?"

Kaku scratched his head and said with a smile, "Of course, if occasionally the left foot comes out first a few times, I won't say anything. From what I have observed, at least a hundred times, not once does the left foot come out first."

Lin Mo:"..."

Okay, Lin Mo admits, Kaku won.

Obviously that guy is busy enough on weekdays, but he still has time to observe others...

Forget it, this wasn't a big deal in the first place.

However, after Kaku said this, Lin Mo turned to look inside the inn.

Sure enough, Lu Qi held the chopsticks in the same way as Kaku said. When he put the chopsticks down, he placed them squarely on the right side of the empty bowl.

Kaku looked like you saw that I was right, and said with a smile, "There are some things that I don't dare to ask for fear of getting beaten, so I can only rely on guessing to find out. But this time, I really can't guess. If Lu Qi is really Captain's clone, then the time limit for his coming to this world should be the same as ours. However, Little Li and the others said that when this inn did not exist yet, Lu Qi was already in this world, and we hadn't come yet at that time."

"No need to guess." Lin Mo originally had no intention of telling anyone about Lu Qi, but Kaku had already mentioned this, and he had no intention of hiding anything, "He is not my clone, he is me."

"Uh?" Kaku was a little confused, "Captain, what do you mean?"

Lin Mo continued, "He and I are the same person."

"Same, same person?"

"Well, we have the same past, but because of some things, we went to different places, met different people, and had different experiences, so... he and I are the same people living in Parallel World."

"Parallel World?" Kaku frowned slightly, "It sounds a bit profound."

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if he and I have the same past, now, he is him and I am me. He and I are two different people. He has his own plans and has many friends, and so do I. When everything here is resolved, we will go back and join Enel and the others."

Kaku looked at Lin Mo in a daze, then smiled and said, "Captain, it's great to be recognized by you and become your friend."

Lin Mo said disapprovingly, "You are not friends, you are family."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the inn again.

Kaku stared blankly at Lin Mo's back, his nose was sore and his eyes were moist. "Yes, we are already a family."

Lin Mo, who has always liked to be alone, rarely joined Lu Qi's dinner party.

Mainly, Lu Qi's taste in wine is very similar to Lin Mo's, so Lin Mo went there for Lu Qi's wine collection.

"You're all here, come and have a boxing match?" Lu Qi sent an invitation to a wine boxing match.

Lin Mo unceremoniously picked up a bottle of wine, took a sip, and calmly rejected him. "As long as Ace is with you."

"How can you enjoy drinking by yourself instead of drinking with everyone? Let me tell you, drinking by yourself is different from drinking with others and losing. Come on, try it, you will like it."

"No, you can play by yourself."

"It's really fun, come on."
