Chapter 22: The Doppelganger Resurgence
In a warehouse not too far from the mage prison in Riverbend New Town, a man lying in the middle of a pile of goods suddenly moved. His fingers were shaking at first, and slowly, his arms and thighs began to shake as well. This irregular shaking lasted for more than half an hour. He finally made a complete movement: he supported his body with his hands and sat up from the ground. After a moment, he opened his eyes.
This is exactly Xiao Chen, or his doppelganger. After a few days of hard work, his will finally broke through the barrier of space and arrived in this world, connecting with his doppelganger. And his spiritual power has also broken through to the next realm and become a great magician.
Xiao Chen's projected doppelganger itself has no consciousness, and is controlled by Xiao Chen's distracted consciousness. At that time, Jiang Yitian wanted to escort him to the mage prison, he knew that once he entered the mage prison, he would be cut off from the connection of spiritual power, and the clone would become an empty shell without any consciousness, so he hurriedly asked the clone to find an inaccessible warehouse to hide. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the mage prison, the connection between him and the clone was severed, and the clone could only lie here for the next few days.
Xiao Chen got up from the pile and found that the doppelganger's body was very weak, the composition of the clone was similar to his body, he hadn't eaten anything in the past few days, and he was so hungry that he was about to collapse. Fortunately, the elemental body itself has the instinct to draw magical energy from space, which left him with some strength. Xiao Chen hurriedly absorbed magical energy around to replenish his body, and after a while, his physical strength finally returned to normal levels.
In the past, when Xiao Chen controlled the clone through distraction, there was always a feeling of being in a hurry, and his brain didn't seem to be able to give instructions to more than two bodies at the same time.
But this time, Xiao Chen found himself in a strange state, he was able to get three of his own perceptions at the same time, one in the mage prison, one in the warehouse, and the last one in Luo Ling's house in another world. The perceptions of the three people were intertwined and received by the same consciousness, but he did not feel any confusion or discomfort.
Just like an ordinary person who can handle many senses such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch at the same time, he will not feel too late to deal with them, and now as a great magician, he can easily cope with this state of multiple feelings. Now he kind of understood why Luo Ling wasn't afraid of the consciousness of the two worlds becoming one. Because for a person who has broken through a certain realm, the fusion of sensation and consciousness will not cause him trouble, but will expand his perception and make him a richer life.
In the past few days, there was still no news in the mage prison, and Xiao Chen decided to use his clone to see what was going on in Hewan New City and investigate Jiang Yitian's movements.
Xiao Chen didn't use invisibility in Riverbend New Town, because there were many detection points for invisible magic. The magic team has even developed an automatic alarm device that will sound an alarm whenever invisible magic is detected. Using invisible magic here is a self-defeating one.
He walked around the warehouse, found a set of overalls and a hard hat for construction workers, dressed up in disguise, and then performed a concealment trick on himself so that others could not easily notice him, and walked towards the courtyard of the intelligence department in the city.
The atmosphere in Hewan New Town was a little more tense than usual. There were a lot fewer people on the street, but there were many more sentry posts, and Xiao Chen believed that if it weren't for the concealment technique on his body, he would have been interrogated many times. Groups of recruits often ran along the way, most of them locals, and these were supposed to be recruits from various towns in response to the Empire's capture of Blackwood Pass.
Everything is in order, and the people's mental state seems to be good, and it seems that the failure of Kurokiguan has not dispelled the confidence of most people.
However, when Xiao Chen came to the entrance of the intelligence department, he saw a scene that surprised and moved him.
I saw Ji Yijun with a few tall men, wearing the clothes of the guards, blocking the entrance of the intelligence department and shouting, and a few people who seemed to be from the intelligence department blocked the door, apparently not wanting him to enter. There were more than a dozen people around to watch the excitement, giggling and pointing inside.
Seeing Ji Yijun beckoning, several people behind him shouted loudly: "Release Xiao Chen! Release Xiao Chen! The intelligence department framed the heroes and arrested people indiscriminately." Release Xiao Chen, release Xiao Chen!"
There are two people Xiao Chen knows about them, they are Ji Yijun's apprentices Garcia and Enrique, and the military uniforms on both of them are already lieutenants and second lieutenant officers. But at this time, following Ji Yijun is still very much like two years ago.
A person from the intelligence department said in a panicked manner: "Ji Yijun! Look at what you're doing? As an active-duty soldier, you're actually here to besiege the gate of the intelligence agency and create chaos! Now is the time for all the troops to prepare for war, and you all leave your posts to make trouble, don't you have a system in your heart? This, this has a terrible impact!"
Ji Yijun crossed his hands on his waist and said loudly: "If you hadn't blocked the door, I would have wanted to go in and have a good talk with Jiang Yitian, but you won't let me, now this situation is your own fault! Let me tell you, today Lao Tzu gave himself a holiday, and I won't leave if I don't block Jiang Yitian." ”
"But you came here yesterday, and we let you in, do you want to talk about it like that?" The man on the other side pulled a companion and pulled off his collar, "Look, Xiao Wang has a piece of blue on his shoulder, we won't let you in, we won't let you mess around!"
Ji Yijun picked up a little bit of fighting spirit and slapped it on the side of the street tree, only to hear a click, and a large piece of the belt core was suddenly missing from the tree, "Sample, this is called beating, do you know? If I really beat him, he would still be here today? If it weren't for a few of you to cover Jiang Yitian and insist on stopping me, I wouldn't have broken in." Your body is so brittle and you have to hit me, aren't you looking for death? ”
The leader of the other party was so angry that he stammered: "You, how dare you talk like this, I want to complain to the escort about you! At such a critical moment, instead of training soldiers, you come here to stir up trouble." ”
Ji Yijun sneered and said: "Complain? Lao Tzu is afraid of complaining? The only person in the escort army who can control me is still in Suero, and even he will definitely not agree to these things you have done! Let me tell you, if you don't let me go in today to find Jiang Yitian's coward, I won't let open this door! Let you be unreasonable, let you arrest people indiscriminately, Lao Tzu will let you see what is called an unreasonable ancestor today!"
