Chapter 1128 Becoming Them

"Surrender now, and we won't make things difficult for you."

Ying raised the long sword and pointed it at the black-haired boy. The latter suddenly felt a chill around his neck, as if he would be beheaded in the next moment.

However, the boy remained calm, as if he was sure that the girl would not do anything. His body slowly disappeared like an erased oil painting.

Indeed, just as the boy thought, Ying would not take action, after all, he could not be sure of the relationship between him and Li.

But she would not watch the other party escape. As she swung her knife, the space near the boy was briefly frozen. Then, large pieces of pink crystals wrapped around the boy's body, sealing him in and pausing his thinking.

Feathers of Yu Duchen appeared around Fu Hua and flew around.

However, they did not fly towards the boy whose movements were controlled, but appeared next to Alicia and Sakura.

"Yeah? Hua?"

Slightly surprised, pink crystals appeared around Alicia and wrapped herself, actually isolating Yu Duchen's feathers.

"She is not Hua."

Ying swung her sword at "Fu Hua" without hesitation, and the large flash of sword light chopped the latter into countless small pieces. There was no blood, just like a broken puzzle.

After being briefly interrupted, Sakura and Alicia looked back and found that the young man who was originally firmly frozen in the crystal had disappeared again.

"I said that the feeling of holding her before was a little strange. Hua's body should be softer~?" Alicia tapped her palms and showed an expression of seeing that.

"She should be the clone created by the Herrscher, and she met us before Hua." Ying picked up the "Yu Du Chen" held by the fake Fu Hua on the ground, and the next moment it shattered into pieces.

Even the Key of God has been created? Although it is a one-time thing, it can be seen from this that the ability of the young Herrscher has improved a little bit.

The question is, how did he obtain such a large amount of Honkai energy in such a short time?

"..."

Zijing looked up, somewhat surprised that the guy could actually escape from Alicia and Sakura. After putting himself in their shoes, he figured out how the other person escaped.

The young man must have left an anchor point on the Second Herrscher who left first. As long as he made the Second Herrscher leave while everyone's attention was on him, he could easily transfer himself to the Second Herrscher's side afterwards.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the connection with him is still there, I can spend some time to find him later. If I run away the second time, I will try the third time. If I run away the third time, I will try the fourth time... I will catch him one day.

While I was thinking, I heard a familiar voice: "Is this really okay for you? Letting someone else do the [Trial] that you should have completed yourself?"

A figure was walking slowly from a distance. It was the black-haired boy, but he was just a clone.

The Kosmo beside Zijing looked at him quietly, with the claws raised in his hands, while Theophil looked at him expressionlessly, and the way he looked at the boy was no different from the way he looked at other people.

He is not Li.

Alicia and Ying had already noticed the situation here, but did not take action. Instead, they watched the clone and Zijing stare at each other, as if silently conveying some message.

The conversation between the two cannot be heard by outsiders.

"Isn't this bad?"

In response to the other party's question, Zijing asked back without any shame. Although the people of [Moth] were still observing Zijing and the young Herrscher, he was inexplicably convinced that if only one person could survive in the [Trial], Alicia and the others would definitely choose to help him in the end.

"You will regret this."

The clone said calmly, "The Trial was supposed to exist only between 'me'. Even if you can survive to the end with the help of the people around you, I wonder if the people around you can still protect you when facing the more powerful forces in the sky?"

"It's been a long time since I last saw them, right? In my dreams."

The clone said something that made Zijing look unhappy, "You should know that the disappearance of nightmares does not mean that 'I' have left their sight. They have been waiting for 'me', always waiting..."

"If you don't want to be pierced by the 'sharp arrow', then break the arrow."

"If you don't want to be burned by the 'fire', then put out the fire."

"If you don't want to be trapped by eternity, then break the ice."

"If you don't want to be eaten up, then become them and kill them."

With every word he spoke, the condition of this clone became worse. Finally, he was unable to say anything. He raised his head to look at the sky, and then he was directly destroyed remotely by the original body.

Only the last faint words were left in Zijing's mind: "The only one I can rely on is myself..."

"..."

Zijing fell silent. He felt that although the guy appeared to be very calm, his inner hysteria was raging like a violent storm.

This guy also knows what's in the sky and is being watched.

He was equally afraid of being discovered and didn't want to mention it.

But just for a certain goal, he is willing to take great risks and explain everything.

Zijing was unable to come back to his senses for a long time until someone patted his shoulder gently.

Looking back, he saw the elf girl bending slightly to look at him at eye level.

"Are you scared?"

Alicia couldn't hear what the two boys said to each other, but she saw panic and anxiety in Zijing's expression, so she couldn't help but want to speak to comfort the other person.

"… A little bit, maybe."

Zijing slapped Alicia's hand away, and the handcuffs that handcuffed her to Kosmo melted directly. Zijing sat on the ground alone, staring at the snow under his feet, wondering what he was thinking. After a moment, he said, "Next... I won't help you anymore, and I won't go with you anymore. Sorry... That Herrscher is probably following the Second Herrscher now. If we chase him now, we might be able to catch him."

"He will come back for you."

Ying came over and said that she, like Alicia, felt the fear and conflict in Zijing's heart.

"So you guys want to stay here with me? Wait and see?" Zijing asked, raising her head.

"..."

The two girls looked at each other and made a decision.

"Although I don't know what he said to you, but..."

Alicia stroked Zijing's white hair, her tone becoming gentle, "There must be some very important reason that could make you change your mind suddenly, right?"

"If you encounter danger later, shout for help and we will come." Ying also squatted down and said to Zijing seriously.
