The fighting outside is escalating.
Judging from the sound, they are approaching their dwelling.
The Sophist, "It seems they're coming for us."
The clone that had previously caught the bird said, "We've become so popular, everyone wants a piece of us."
The duck, sitting in its clone, couldn't wait. "So, is it our turn to perform? I can't wait to cause a ruckus!"
The Giant Overlord tossed him a crystal ball.
"Try to make contact with the False Human, but don't let the natives find out."
The crystal ball contains a small amount of the Source of the World, which can temporarily sustain the Shelter Space.
The Giant Overlord must guard the Sophist.
These kinds of menial and errand-running jobs can be left to the subordinates.
"Mission accomplished!"
The duck-shaped clone creates an invincible Shelter Space and quickly leaves through the window.
In less than half an hour, the fighting throughout the city gradually subsided.
Meanwhile, the duck-like clone finally found a lone False Human.
The other party was severely injured and was on the verge of death.
The clone immediately enveloped him with Shelter Space.
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing clone, the False Human was taken aback.
But then, the other person suddenly became agitated.
"Get out of here quickly..."
The clone crouched down, pointed to the hole in his stomach, and said, "Don't get agitated, the more agitated you are, the faster you'll die."
The wound on the False Human's abdomen was gushing blood like a spring.
He held in his hands a Death-Omen Bird.
Unlike other timid creatures, this Death-Omen Bird warily stared at its clone.
The clone took out a packet of powder and sprinkled it on the False Human's wound, but even after sprinkling the entire packet, the bleeding did not stop.
The False Human, panting heavily, said, "I'm... I'm beyond saving."
"Please... take good care of it for me..."
The False Human handed over the broken-winged Death-Omen Bird he was holding.
"While the city is still in chaos, let's get out of here quickly... quickly."
"They'll eat you..."
Seeing that the powder was truly ineffective, the clone sighed.
"What a pity, it was quite expensive when I bought it."
"You're going to die, is there anything you'd like to say before you die?"
The False Human suddenly laughed, "I'm already dead."
"Take good care of it... get out... our people... provide backup..."
As he finished speaking, his hands fell limply to his sides.
The Death-Omen Bird let out mournful cries.
It is crying.
The clone shoved the Death-Omen Bird aside. "Alright, stop announcing bad news."
The Death-Omen Bird: "..."
The clone took out a short knife and stabbed it into the False Human's chest. Upon seeing this, the Death-Omen Bird immediately flapped its broken wings and tried to bite him.
Go play somewhere else.
The clone then pushed the silly bird aside.
When the False Human's chest cavity was cut open, an extremely strong stench of decay immediately assaulted the senses.
The clone frowned deeply. "I never imagined I'd be doing this kind of heart-wrenching work."
The Giant Overlord urged, "Hurry up, save some Source of the World."
The clone turned its face to the side and reached inside to pick and choose.
The Death-Omen Bird hid to one side, whimpering helplessly.
Soon, the clone's expression gradually became serious.
He has no heart.
"Not only does it lack a heart, it also lacks lungs; its internal organs are empty."
The other clones chuckled, "So you just wasted your time?"
The duck, sitting in its clone, said with a serious expression, "Saying it's empty isn't accurate; to be precise, it's rotten."
After the dissection, he took his hands out, which were covered in rotting flesh and foul-smelling blood.
"It's rotting way too fast."
"Death took less than a minute, but the body looked like it had been dead for a month."
The Giant Overlord said in a deep voice, "Perhaps he was already dead."
It was the Giant Overlord who made the move, to be completely open and honest.
Earlier, when he was on the flower stamen, he noticed that something was off about the False Human's corpse.
His suspicions have now been confirmed.
False Human is just a walking corpse, no different from a zombie.
The only difference is that the False Human doesn't look as "rotten" as the zombie.
The Giant Overlord asked, "Are there anything similar to Soul Orb?"
After carefully inspecting the area, the clone shook its head. "Completely empty."
Giant Overlord: "Come back."
A blue flame flicked from the clone's fingertip, burning the corpse to ashes.
Immediately afterwards, he scooped up the Death-Omen Bird.
"Hey bros! I caught a Pokémon!"
The Death-Omen Bird struggled incessantly in his arms, even biting his hand.
Unfortunately, the clone was thick-skinned and didn't feel any pain or itching.
The clone's mouth stretched almost to its ears in a grin. "Look, it can't wait to come home with me, it's so excited it's crying!"
The Death-Omen Bird: "..."
The fighting throughout the city has subsided.
Guards could be seen clearing away bodies on the street.
thump thump thump--
The man knocked on the door again and entered. " The False Human have all been driven back, but the city will remain under martial law for a while. Please stay here for now."
The Sophist, "It's nothing."
The man glanced around and noticed that someone was missing from the room.
"Why is one person missing?"
Giant Overlord pointed to the toilet. " The False Human got diarrhea from eating barbecue skewers."
The man went straight to the restroom and knocked on the door a few times. "Are you alright? Should I call a doctor?"
However, there was no response from inside the toilet.
The man knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound from inside.
He turned to look at the Giant Overlord: "He's not inside."
The clones started talking all at once.
"He probably fell into the toilet and drowned."
"It's not a big problem, we'll get him out in a bit."
"That's right, don't bother."
The man smiled and said, "I was sent by Wang to protect you. If he dies in the toilet, I won't be able to explain it to Wang."
As he spoke, the man gripped the doorknob and pulled hard, yanking the entire door off.
What are you doing?
The clone sitting on the toilet emitted a sharp, explosive sound.
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "I... I'm sorry."
"I thought something had happened to you. I'll go get a doctor right now."
The clone said, "No need, you can leave now."
The man apologized again and then left the room.
The clone couldn't help but exclaim, "This invincible Shelter Space is just too useful!"
The other clones crowded at the doorway, craning their necks to peer inside.
"Where are your Pokémon? Show them to us!"
The duck, sitting in its clone, reached under its buttocks and pulled out the Death-Omen Bird hidden in the toilet.
The Death-Omen Bird was soaking wet, looking like it was barely breathing.
"Your bird is going to die."
The duck, sitting in its clone, scoffed, "Nonsense! It's perfectly fine!"
He took out a small fragment of the Source Crystal and stuffed it into the bird's beak, Death-Omen Bird's breathing instantly stabilized.
"A miraculous cure, Doctor Qin!"
While the clones were teasing the birds, the Giant Overlord was already piecing together the currently known information.
The Sophist said in a deep voice, "These False Human are after us."
"Judging from what that dead guy said, they're still coming to rescue us."
The Giant Overlord said calmly, "With the dead unable to testify, it's hard to tell the truth."
Suddenly, the sky outside the window darkened, as if a black curtain had covered the world.
Dark Night fell.
