Chapter 123: Doubts about Substitutes
Jason in front of him, a smile appeared on his face.
The kind full of malice.
obviously has Jason's appearance, but such a malicious smile can easily distinguish between the two people.
"Iona!"
Evelyn regained her footing, staring at Jason in front of her and roaring.
Then, instinctively, she wanted to throw a punch.
But I held back.
Because, this is ...... Jason.
Jason 'replaced' by Iona!
If you hurt this 'Jason', then Jason, who is thinking behind him, will also be hurt!
Evelyn, who has an inexplicable connection with Iona, learned everything almost as soon as she saw 'Jason' in front of her.
There is no deception.
There are no lies.
There is no disguise.
Their relationship is destined to be such 'candid'.
She was annoying.
It was only at this time that she would envy the stupid Gizchel.
Because, Gixier doesn't have to face any of this at all.
I don't know any of this at all.
This made Evelyn even angrier.
She glared at Jason.
Look at 'Jason'.
The malicious smile on his face became more and more intense.
He patted his cheek gently.
"Come on, hit me."
Unlike Jason's deep, low voice, this 'Jason' voice is high, with a hint of sharpness.
Of course, it's more about pride.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"
"Five years!"
"Five whole years!"
"Do you know how I've spent the past five years?"
Jason asked Evelyn loudly, and then he walked over to Evelyn.
As he walked up to Evelyn, Jason looked at Evelyn condescendingly.
He said word by word:
"I don't eat or drink, and I don't sleep to be a babysitter for you!"
"I'm going to cover up my presence when eliminating possible dangers!"
"And, make all sorts of reasonable explanations!"
"What am I for?"
"Isn't it just for now?"
"A perfect, flawless 'replacement'!"
'Jason' said, a malicious smile on his face that reached an extreme.
He raised his right hand.
Syllable!
A crisp snap of the fingers.
Evelyn, who held her head high and didn't let go of her eyes with 'Jason', suddenly shook her body.
A little more memory came back to her mind.
Memories hidden by Iona.
What she overlooked, what she took for granted.
Five years!
Not like this since childhood!
Only five years!
She only has five years of memory.
'Iona' also only existed for five years.
Guicheer has a full 19 years of memory!
And then......
Firelight!
Blaze in the sky!
As if she had guessed something, Evelyn's face turned pale instantly, she no longer had the strength she had before, and began to retreat again and again.
Evelyn took a step back, and Jason stepped forward.
One retreats, one advances.
Evelyn's aura is getting weaker and weaker, but the aura on Jason's body is getting stronger and stronger.
Offense and defense switch at this moment.
Bang!
'Jason' punched Evelyn in the lower abdomen.
Evelyn flew straight backwards.
She struggled to get up, but she couldn't do it because her strength was running out quickly.
"Do you really think you're talented?"
"Your power comes from me!"
"From me, you know?"
"Now!"
"I'm going to take all this power back!"
"I'm going back to the top of the world!"
'Jason' roared wildly, and the invisible wind began to blow around him, and the shattered ground around him cracked again, and the huge asphalt pavement floated up one by one, and the dark clouds gathered under the night sky, and the electricity was like a silver snake in the dark clouds, and then, straight down.
Thundered!
Thunder from the sky!
The earth was broken again in a thunderbolt.
The whole street was reduced to nothing.
The tall figure slowly floated into the air.
Like a god, it looks down on the world.
"Feel the pain!"
"What I have inherited!"
"You'll taste them all, too!"
Suspended in mid-air, Jason looked down at the weakened Evelyn.
At this moment, Evelyn's breath was even weaker.
Even, even sitting up requires gritting your teeth.
This made it difficult for Evelyn, who refused to admit defeat, to accept.
But what she couldn't accept the most was the extra information that had just come to her mind.
Fake!
Everything is fake!
She's a fake!
Iona is a fake!
This world is also ...... Fake!
Each message was like a fatal puncture, making her excited and burning heart cold and lifeless.
Evelyn's gaze couldn't help but darken.
Having lost that power to control everything, she was not afraid.
But...... The truth, but she was overwhelmed.
And at this moment, a slightly heavy footstep sounded from behind him.
Jason, who was lost in thought, 'came back to his senses'.
He, came over.
"Jason, don't come here!"
Evelyn shouted.
"Shut up."
"It's really ridiculous that a nihilistic thing will produce 'love'."
"But ......"
"I'm glad to see this."
"It made me feel real."
"It made me realize that I was alive!"
"So, Jason, you have to thank me."
"Thank you for giving you the opportunity to get to know the 'real world'!"
Jason, who was in mid-air, let out a burst of laughter.
The laughter was distorted like the cry of a night owl.
And Jason, who was standing on the ground, looked at it lightly.
Not the slightest bit moved.
There was not the slightest bit of surprise.
"Aren't you curious?"
"To everything in front of you."
Jason, who was in mid-air, stopped laughing and looked at Jason suspiciously.
"Another 'self' has appeared, what else is there to be surprised about?"
Jason asked rhetorically.
"Hmm."
"Good answer."
"It's the 'replacement' I've found." ”
'Jason' in mid-air nodded, looking very approving of it, but the other party immediately turned gloomy, and he said word by word: "This should be what I said, not you!" ”
"You're a 'substitute'!"
"And me?"
"That's the real Jason!"
"Jason with the 'Immortal Body'!"
As the other party spoke, he put his hands behind his back, and the special force field created layer by layer around him began to condense in front of the other party, and a trace of a special force field similar to [Protecting Evil] began to appear.
But soon, the resemblance became more and more the same!
And the change continues.
This force is becoming more and more like a special force field of [Evil Protection].
"See?"
'Jason' in mid-air looked at Jason on the ground proudly.
Jason, however, remained unmoved.
Even if he was sure, that aura was a special force field similar to [Protecting Against Evil].
"Your strength is mine."
"It's mine."
"Your character...... It's mine too. ”
"So, you're a 'substitute' for me."
The other party emphasized again.
"Jason is not a substitute!"
"You are!"
"You are the one who covets his 'immortal body', you ......"
Airplanes!
Evely angrily scolded 'Jason' in mid-air, but before she could finish speaking, a great pressure dropped sharply, directly pressing on Evely, causing her words to stop abruptly.
"Shut up, the Void Guy!"
"You ......"
Boom!
'Jason' in mid-air sneered, and then, a sudden fragrance appeared on the tip of his nose, and involuntarily, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His gaze followed the scent.
He saw an extra lollipop in Jason's hand.
Creamy and chocolate mixed taste.
It smells so good!
Although the cream side is sweet and greasy, the chocolate side is thick and should be able to neutralize the sweetness just right, and in order to better neutralize it, I must put it in my mouth along the midline of this lollipop, and then suck it hard......
Wait a minute!
What was I thinking?
Why should I think about this?
That's not what I should think about!
Jason's face changed in mid-air, and he keenly noticed that something was wrong with him.
However, his eyes were still involuntarily attracted by the lollipop in Jason's hand.
"Five years without eating or drinking......"
"According to my character, I'm afraid I'm already hungry and my reason has been devoured by hunger at this moment, right?"
Jason said slowly as he ripped off the lollipop package.
This was originally what he had taken from the counter of the 'Watch Dog Pastry House', fearing that he would be hungry.
Produced by a female pastry chef, the taste is needless to say.
As the packaging is torn off, an even stronger scent emerges.
'Jason' in mid-air involuntarily approached Jason.
He told himself not to, but his body involuntarily approached.
Jason looked up, looked at 'Jason' who was close to him, and suddenly smiled.
He held the lollipop above his head, and when he shifted to the right, Jason's gaze in mid-air turned to the right, and when he shifted to the left, Jason's gaze in mid-air turned to the left.
After confirming that it has firmly attracted the attention of the other party, the next moment-
"Go ahead!"
With a loud shout, Jason threw the lollipop heavily on the ground in front of him.
Woo!
Jason rushed down in mid-air, opened his mouth and bit the lollipop in his mouth, followed by a wind-tearing wind that raged on the ground.
Pebbles flew and clothes rattled.
However, 'Jason' ignored that.
It's so sweet!
Just as he guessed, the taste after neutralization is even more delicious!
No way!
I'm going to eat!
How can one lollipop be enough?
I'm going to have a big meal!
A real feast!
When he wasn't contaminated with food, Jason was able to keep his sanity, but when his tongue touched the food, the only sanity he had left was instantly consumed by hunger.
While holding a lollipop and enjoying the sweetness, he was thinking about where to eat next, and he couldn't see Jason coming over, couldn't see the shotgun in Jason's hand, and couldn't see the muzzle of the gun aimed at him.
Bang!
The gun went off.
The projectile of the shotgun was directly intended for the head of 'Jason'.
The next moment, though, Jason's head was restored.
The pain of death did not stop the hunger, and Jason looked at Jason as he raised his hand to pick up the lollipop that had fallen to the ground, blew the dust, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Do you know why I chose you?"
"For your 'immortal body'!"
"I've copied your body perfectly!"
"I can't tell what your 'immortal body' is, but how can you kill me?"
"In the same way, I can't kill you!"
"But I'll keep you in a cage and study it carefully!"
"Jason, thank me for my kindness!"
Jason looked at Jason sarcastically.
Seems to be looking at a fool.
"Really?"
"I like to be a little more crisp!"
Jason asked calmly and pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
'Jason' was shattered again.
And!
This time, there was no restoration!
That's it, straight to the ground!
The flesh and blood quickly softened and turned into a puddle of mud.
"A 'substitute' should look like a 'substitute'!"
Jason said, raising his hand.
The cone-shaped flames enveloped the mud directly.
In a breath, the mud dries up.
Then, Jason aimed his shotgun at the dry mud and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
Bang, bang!
The projectile hit it, and suddenly, the dust flew up.
By the time Jason stopped, the mud had long since turned to nothing.
All that's left is ......
A locust!
That's right, locusts!
A locust with a pale golden glow!
In that light, strange scenes began to appear—
St. Mungo's College, Playground.
A middle-aged man stands on a high platform with a smile on his face.
He first glanced at the youthful and energetic freshmen around him, and then took the microphone and said.
"Today is October PY81, the day St. Mungo's College recruits new students."
"You have passed the layers of screening, which is enough to show that you are excellent!"
"Now, all you need to do is complete the last test, and you're a student at St. Mungo's Academy."
"Please ask the teachers of each major to come out and lead our outstanding students to complete the last test."
As the middle-aged man's voice fell, one teacher after another came out.
"The mechanics meet here."
"The craft class is gathered here."
"The cooking class is gathered here."
……
The assembly of voices made the students act quickly.
Guicheer is no exception.
Dressed in new clothes and carrying a school bag, she walked briskly towards the meeting place of the cooking class.
As I walked, I also told myself in a low voice not to be nervous, I can do it.
The cooking classroom is a huge kitchen.
The kind that is enough for 100 people to cook at the same time.
"Everyone cooks what they're good at."
"You can choose the ingredients prepared here."
"There's no limit to the type of cooking, but you can only make one and it can't take more than three hours."
The teacher of the cooking class said.
Suddenly, the students began to take action.
Guicheer is no exception.
She also rushed to the food table, but she was so nervous that she fell.
Although she stood up the next moment, she was even more nervous.
In the time that followed, there was a series of errors.
Gizer was so anxious that she almost cried.
She knew she was doing badly this time.
She's not going to make it.
Self-blame and remorse appeared in the bottom of her heart.
At the same time, in the 'Blue Bridge', thousands of miles away from Decheng, a blocking battle has begun, and the 'Silver Federation' and the 'Black Market Alliance' have invested their respective elites.
But just when the battle was in the middle of the war, the day suddenly became dark.
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads.
A dark shadow too large to describe in words appeared overhead.
It obscures the sky and the sun.
There is no margin in sight.
Can't see the face clearly.
Its body spans the entire battlefield!
No!
Yes, over the land!
It's 20 seconds!
Everyone watched in amazement.
But these shocked people did not realize that a small golden light flashed under this huge shadow.
Oh, yes.
Infinitesimal.
It's too small.
So small that everyone ignores it.
And it was attracted by a breath.
That's the breath that the world loves.
It's the favorite food!
Thousands of miles away, in a flash.
It locks onto the target.
Then, unleash the malice –
Explode!
The skyrocketing flames appeared in the cooking classroom of St. Mungo's Academy.
In the fire, many students were injured.
Gizier fainted to the ground.
But unscathed.
It flew over and landed on Gizchel, ready to start sucking on its food, but it knew it wouldn't be easy to swallow it whole.
The world doesn't allow it to do that.
So......
It confuses the world!
It's going to be a part of this food!
It also has to create a 'condiment' to share its suspicions!
The next moment, it flapped its wings and flew up.
Airplanes!
With a huge hum, it shuttled like a meteor into the sky above a 'river'.
It fluttered lightly, touched its forelimbs to the 'river', and then leaped to its feet.
Stained with the 'river', it returned to Guicheel.
'River water' turns into 'water vapor'.
Shrouded it with Gizère.
But the world still interferes with it.
A spark just landed on it.
Laugh at!
Pain, make it tremble.
Trembling, it made its ritual go wrong.
Let everything change unpredictably.
It had to change its strategy.
In the haze of 'water vapor', it became Iona, it created the personality of 'Evelyn' for food, it created the whole 'New Virtue City', and it hibernated in it.
It just missed.
Nothing.
In the past, it had such mistakes.
It firmly believes that it will succeed again.
Just one chance is it!
As long as it has the chance, it will be able to continue to taste the delicious food!
In the pale golden light, scenes continued to appear.
It wants to control.
But it can't be controlled at all.
The initial backlash has made it lose control of this place for a long time.
And the backlash just now made it lose control of its body.
It still doesn't know why the 'Immortal Body' is invalid.
It's clearly a complete replica.
But now wasn't the time to think about that, and it saw Jason.
Jason stared at it drooling and looked hungry.
A bad premonition appeared in the bottom of its heart.
"Wait!"
"I have a secret for you!"
"It makes you the master of this world!"
It screamed desperately, but Jason grabbed it.
Boom!
Staring at the pale golden locust in front of him, Jason swallowed his saliva, an unprecedented fragrance was permeating the other party's body, he didn't pay attention to the shout at all, and grabbed the other party without hesitation.
Then, in a far more than usual state [Charles Burning Technique], he delicately controlled the flame in his hand to roast it.
Then, the roasted locust, which turned from pale gold to slightly red, was thrown directly into Jason's mouth and chewed it heavily.
Click, click.
In the crunch, a chicken smell permeated Jason's mouth.
Involuntarily, the corners of Jason's mouth turned up, revealing a smile full of happiness.
And the surroundings began to change silently.
