Chapter 345 Kill Her
Before Jiang Xingni could say anything, he saw the two of them already locked in a fierce battle.
To be more precise, it should be said that Pei Zhaoye couldn't wait to get entangled with Pei Zhaoye.
A replica is not a replica if it differs too much from the original.
Pei Zhaoye was surprised to find that, despite his and his teammates' physical skills being inferior to Cai Cai's, they were actually able to fight to a draw with the opposing Pei Zhaoye. It was truly unbelievable.
But problems arose as well. Neither of them could do anything about the other. And it wasn't just him; from Xiao Jiming to Song Juexiao, and then to Xie Yungui and his group who had just come out, they all encountered their destined "other me in the world."
Only Jiang Xingni was not entangled by his own clone.
If he wanted to resolve this matter… Pei Zhaoye looked around, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.
He could only gamble that the clone wouldn't have his newly awakened abilities during the replication process, and that the short timeframe wouldn't be enough for Pei Zhaoye to acquire similar abilities.
Pei Zhaoye uploaded his consciousness into the data network once again, and then used his ability to control the entire city to try to besiege [Pei Zhaoye].
Before uploading, Jiang Xingni even saw Pei Zhaoye looking in his direction with a look full of regret and many indescribable emotions, as if he were about to die the next second.
Jiang Xingni fell into deep thought.
—But shouldn't she be the one killed by the clone in this instance?
Jiang Xingni couldn't be of much help to Pei Zhaoye, so she turned her gaze to the other side, to Song Juexiao.
The moment Xiao Jiming started fighting with [Xiao Jiming], Lu Ming drew his sword to help, joining Xiao Jiming in a two-on-one fight.
So, among the people closest to her, only Song Juexiao remained, fighting a one-on-one battle with [Song Juexiao].
The moment Song Juexiao noticed Jiang Xingni's gaze, he remained unusually calm in front of her.
She said, "This is my battle, Star, and you have yours too."
Following this pattern, apart from Lu Ming, who just joined the main characters and whose VOID probably hasn't had time to make a copy of her yet, everyone else has their destined "other half".
Jiang Xingni will definitely be there too.
If the other party hasn't shown up yet, it can only prove one thing: everyone who's appeared now is covering for Jiang Xingni, and Jiang Xingni's side is the most important.
Jiang Xingni overheard Song Juexiao's unspoken meaning, sighed, and then nodded.
As luck would have it, she also heard the voice on the other end of the communicator—there had been no sound all along, and Jiang Xingni had thought the communicator had been damaged when it was taken off.
"Do you want to come find me?" Jiang Xingni asked. "Then come on, I'd also like to see... what's so appealing about my original self."
Jiang Xingni did not reveal his location, but Jiang Xingni was able to guess it.
Where else could it be?
That's probably what they saw; because the level was too high, the VOID outposts that could be teleported were restricted.
Jiang Xingni chuckled lightly: "Okay."
She whispered into the communicator, "Anyway, this battle was bound to happen eventually."
*
This battle was bound to happen eventually.
Xie Yungui looked at the person opposite him, who had the same face as him.
"In the future I've envisioned, this is the first time I've seen your existence," Xie Yungui said softly.
He was ready to go back in time again, but before doing so, he thought he should gather more intelligence for Jiang Xingni.
Xie Yungui raised his eyelids: "I'm very curious."
I'm very curious about your memory.
To be precise, every clone created has no memory.
They can only steal the memories of the original body after killing it.
Before killing the original body, they have no ability to create; they can only instinctively copy everything the original body possesses.
Compared to other beings of the same kind, [Xie Yungui] does not have much possessiveness towards the memories of the original body.
Perhaps due to the influence of his own body, he was always puzzled as to why his kind could be so passionate every day, but he had no passion or motivation.
Now, Xie Yungui is also confused. The two of them should have the same personality, and were much closer and more suitable than other similar beings and their original bodies. But why is the original body able to have such a deep obsession, so much so that when he was born because of the original body's replication, his first concern was not the original body, but Jiang Xingni.
However, after observing for a while, he discovered that [Jiang Xingni] was no different from his other kind. The reason he paid so much attention to the other party was simply because of the transference effect of the original body on him.
"Why do you have such a deep obsession with Jiang Xingni?" Xie Yungui asked directly and softly. "So much so that even at the time of my birth, I was influenced by these obsessions of yours?"
The indifferent expression that had been on Xie Yungui's face finally disappeared.
His eyes widened slightly, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again, feeling that whatever he said would sound like he was just making excuses.
Xie Yungui: "...If you can also feel this kind of obsession, then you should choose my path, just like me."
You too should embark on this endless cycle of reincarnation, and you too should devote yourself to her survival, working tirelessly and painstakingly.
You should also feel the same way I do, and understand how much malice this world has shown her, and what we should do to help her survive.
All the deep emotions were hidden beneath this one sentence; Xie Yungui did not say it directly.
But Xie Yungui was different; he said, "I don't understand."
He could only understand that every word spoken by the original body contained emotions that were about to burst forth, but he didn't know what those emotions were or what caused them to arise.
"I have no memory of you," he said. "So I don't understand why you are so obsessed with her, and I also don't understand why I am so obsessed with her."
Xie Yungui was speechless after hearing this.
"You cannot possess my memories," he said. "You will be killed by those memories."
Not everyone can bear the weight of memories repeated over many years; more often than not, they are killed by these heavy memories.
[Xie Yungui]: "You're looking down on me."
……
Xie Yungui: "You can understand it that way too."
He was too lazy to bother explaining; let the other side say whatever they wanted.
He only cared where Jiang Xingni was right now.
"Were your kind ordered to kill Jiang Xingni?" Xie Yungui asked.
