The Tower of Ether was lit again, the night turned to day, and Lu Yun woke up.

After a night's sleep, most of Lu Yun's physical exhaustion and pain disappeared, but his spirit still did not relax.

Lu Yun rubbed his eyes, although he looked like he had just woken up, in fact, he had just left from the twilight, and this feeling of disunity between spirit and body really made him uncomfortable.

Getting up from the bed, Lu Yun walked to the bathroom, and after a brief wash, Lu Yun fixed his eyes on the bust mirror on the sink.

After some short thinking, Lu Yun's right arm stretched out, and a large amount of black smoke appeared out of thin air, condensing into a dagger in the palm of Lu Yun's hand.

It was the echo he had received after containing George, only this time, Lu Yun could clearly feel that his echo was much more condensed than before, and the inky black smoke was so thick that it was almost a boiling liquid.

As Lu Yun thought, after experiencing what happened between last night's dusk, his reverberation was closer to the entity, and from a physical level alone, it shouldn't be a big problem to replace his mother's commonly used kitchen knife.

This is much better than yesterday's damage that only scratched the skin of a toothbrush, and at least when it comes to fighting opponents who don't rely on the Aether, they have a weapon to rely on.

However, the countless self-interruptions that watched between dusk and dusk brought Lu Yun more than that.

Lu Yun held the dagger behind his hand and stabbed it straight into his heart, there was no blood, no wounds, and even his clothes were not punctured, but the dagger had indeed sunk into Lu Yun's heart.

In an instant, the dagger decomposed, and the rising black smoke enveloped Lu Yun's whole body, and then, the black mist gradually attached to Lu Yun's body, changing color and having a real entity.

The black smoke dissipated, and Lu Yun in front of the bust began to look at his new appearance.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, big belly, and kind face, this is the appearance of the blonde and blue-eyed foreign man in the twilight, and it is also the appearance of Lu Yun at this moment.

Lu Yun once again put his hand close to his heart, and the black smoke that was attached to his whole body and constituted Lu Yun's current appearance immediately dissolved, and re-became the echo of the dagger that looked like black smoke in his hand.

This is one of the abilities he has acquired, and Lu Yun can transform into the appearance of others through reverberation.

Regardless of gender, old and young, but because in fact this is just an imitation of black smoke, no matter what the appearance, Lu Yun's own physical ability will not change, and the same is true for values such as weight.

And when attacked, Lu Yun can also let one of the images take the damage instead of himself, just like George, who is an abnormal post-war anomaly, but after that, the image that bears the damage is useless.

It's just that the image that Lu Yun can use at the moment is only the middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, and if he wants to have more images, he must cooperate with another ability.

Lu Yun stared at the dagger in his hand for a long time, and finally chose to throw it into the air and let it dissipate.

Another of his abilities is also similar to George's, which Lu Yun refers to as "acceptance".

After informing the other party of his name and other information, and then inserting the echo into the other party's body, the other party will temporarily think that he is Lu Yun, and Lu Yun will also gain the image of the accepted person.

As for how much information is needed, without seeking results, it is enough to just need a name, but it must be a real name.

The length of time the acceptance lasts depends on the person being admitted, ranging from a few days to a week, and as short as a moment.

Of course, this is all based on the premise that the other party is unwilling to become "Lu Yun", and if he is willing, it is possible to continue forever.

In addition, although Lu Yun's own nature will not change when he becomes someone else, when the accepted person thinks that he is Lu Yun, their personality and way of speaking will become exactly the same as Lu Yun.

In general, Lu Yun doesn't like "acceptance" very much, just thinking about a group of people shouting "I am Lu Yun" in front of him, he gets goosebumps all over his body.

Moreover, Lu Yun could feel that whenever he used his ability, there would be a very faint impulse in his heart, an impulse to completely erase his individuality and hand everything over to the collective named "George".

This is probably what Feng Ran told him about assimilation, and when you use the abilities that the post-war anomaly brings you, the post-war anomaly is also looking for an opportunity to transform you into the same existence as it.

According to him, if Lu Yun's qualifications were not sufficient and he obeyed that impulse, it was very likely that he would be directly assimilated into a brand-new post-war anomaly with George's consciousness as the core.

Lu Yun turned on the faucet, poured a handful of cold water on his face, and decided not to think about these things for the time being, and when he arrived at the ether company, it was not too late to think about it if he knew more things.

Drying the water droplets on his face with a towel, Lu Yun walked out of the bathroom.

……

"Early in the morning is not suitable for a sad face~"

The first time he opened the door, Lu Yun saw Xiang Yan poking her head out of the corner of the kitchen, with an apron tied around her waist, and she seemed to be pouring breakfast with her mother.

"Early... Your mask? ”

Lu Yun said good morning, only to find that the black cat mask that Xiang Yan had been wearing on his face had been taken off at this time, and the cloak on his body was also hanging aside.

The light of the Tower of Aether shone on her short, shoulder-length black hair, and the blue eyes of Aether glittered like jewels.

Lu Yun realized that Xiang Yan, who was working hard in the drifting area and seemed to know everything, was essentially just an ordinary young girl.

"You don't think I sleep with a mask, do you?"

Xiang Yan laughed twice and walked out with a basin of fried eggs and sausages.

This made Lu Yun's eyes widen, although the suburbs are not without serious food, such as vegetables and meat, but the quantity is very small and expensive, and their family basically keeps it for the New Year to eat a little bit.

"Rainbow Dash is awake? Sit down, sit down, Xiang Yan's craftsmanship is about to catch up with your mother and me, I'm going to move to the city today, eat something good to celebrate! ”

Wearing heat-insulated gloves and holding a large pot of nutritious porridge, Bai Wenlan walked out of the kitchen and explained by the way why today's breakfast was unusually rich.

"Okay, sit down and try my handiwork, or you'll be robbed of it by then."

Grab the light?

As soon as Lu Yun's question came up, he heard the sound of rapid running from behind him, and before he could turn around, the owner of the voice rushed directly to the front.

It was the twins, and they sat down next to Xiang Yan very synchronously, looking at the things on the table with bright eyes.

Seeing that the visitor was not good, Lu Yun also immediately sat down and received his own dishes and chopsticks.

Although it was not embarrassing to let Xiang Yan, who was much younger than himself, serve him porridge, when Lu Yun noticed it, there was already a full bowl in front of him, and there was even an omelette on it.

Lu Yun, who couldn't wait, immediately took a bite, the crispy egg white with the half-melted egg yolk, this kind of feeling that made him almost delicious to tears, the last time he encountered it was the bowl of Yangchun noodles ordered by his mother during the Spring Festival this year.

"Sister! I want it too! ”

"I want it too!"

It seemed that Lu Yun was intoxicated by seeing himself eating selflessly, and the twins were also impatient to ask Xiang Yan for food.

"Okay, let's see what you're gluttony."

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, there are quite a few."

Bai Wenlan and Xiang Yan served meals to them and themselves in an orderly manner, and their long-term experience in housework made the two cooperate very tacitly.

Lu Yun's afterglow looked at this scene and felt extremely warm.

Yes, since my father left, there have never been more than two people in my family to eat, and for the first time in 20 years, someone has come to my house, and my mother must have been very happy.

After drinking the porridge in a big gulp, he tore a small piece of sausage and put it in his mouth to savor it, Lu Yun felt that his desire to bring his father back and beat him up was a little stronger.

It's going to be soon, it's going to be soon, my mother is about to live in the city, and then I'll have the opportunity to find my father.

Drip ————————

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Lu Yun, who had already finished eating a bowl, got up and said that he would open the door and let them continue eating.

Clicking on the pager that was attached to the door on the ground floor, a very peaceful voice sounded:

"Hello, I am an employee of the logistics department of the ether company, is it Mr. Lu Yun's house?"
