The person’s build, appearance, and hairstyle all looked identical to the girl from earlier. If it weren’t for the male attire and the evident male features like the Adam’s apple, Wen Nan would have suspected that the girl had returned in a set of male clothes.
Could this be... twin siblings?
For humans, male and female twins must be fraternal; they couldn’t possibly look exactly the sa.
If they’re characters, that wouldn’t be surprising. Did they create male and female characters using the sa character model?
Why would they do this?
The last ti I saw such characters was the pair of twin sisters Leng Leng and Qingqing at Snow Mountain Villa, but they looked exactly alike because their bodies were crafted using a pair of chopsticks.
Now, this pair of a man and woman who look alike, could it be that their bodies were also crafted from a pair of chopsticks?
If that’s the case, then there are a lot of doubts—
First of all, Snow Mountain Villa’s chopsticks were able to "co alive" with the help of [Eve of Myriad Transformations], which was refined by Yu Shouling. After being created by the Great Demon Master Ah Rham, Yu Shouling has never left Snow Mountain Villa, and apart from Wen Nan, no player had interacted with [Eve of Myriad Transformations], so how could other players use this item to create similar characters?
Could it be that other players, in other maps, also coincidentally obtained items with functions very similar to [Eve of Myriad Transformations]?
Another issue is that if these characters were crafted from a pair of chopsticks, or a pair of shoes, or any other paired objects, then why weren’t they created as the sa gender? Why a male and a female?
These doubts have no answers for now.
However, the appearance of this "twin brother" brings new doubts while also providing an answer to another problem Wen Nan was pondering—
Originally, Wen Nan thought that Wei Zhe, holding a fragnt of the Divine Staff and being particularly skilled at manipulating won, likely used the golden control pattern to bring that girl into the instance map.
But now, the appearance of that girl’s "twin brother" suggests to Wen Nan that the second scenario is closer to the truth.
This pair of man and woman being able to enter a map where all characters and players require a faction and identity is because, like Guan Ailin, they cannot be strictly considered characters. Guan Ailin’s current attribute is a building; she is Wen Nan’s exclusive refresh point. So, what hidden attributes are behind this pair of man and woman?
It certainly won’t be a pair of shoes, nor a pair of chopsticks. Otherwise, expending such effort to bring in a pair of chopsticks or shoes would sound too foolish.
Then what else could it be?
While Wen Nan’s thoughts were swirling, the man sitting at the table could no longer bear Wen Nan’s gaze, stood up, and walked straight towards the door.
As they brushed past each other, Wen Nan quickly moved closer, stepping on the threshold, his body lurched forward slightly, and his hand swung twice in the air. To maintain his balance, he instinctively grabbed the man’s arm.
9527: [Successfully contacted the target, unlocking target information for you—]
[Na: **]
[Identity: **]
[Introduction: **]
[Faction: Locked]
As expected, Wen Nan discovered that in this instance, the last identity information hidden card was used on this male character.
With his arm grabbed, the man’s brow furrowed, and he forcibly pulled his arm out of Wen Nan’s grasp.
Wen Nan straightened his body, raised his hand, and said, "Sorry, I slipped accidentally."
The man glared at Wen Nan, said nothing, and finally turned and left.
Wen Nan slowly walked to the position where the man had just sat and looked at the tabletop.
The man ordered a signature silky milk tea, cold, likely intended for takeaway, so he didn’t use the store’s glass but instead a sealed plastic takeaway cup.
Wen Nan picked up the cup and found it nearly full, indicating the man hadn’t drunk any.
Lowering his gaze, Wen Nan noticed two circular marks on the table.
They were ring marks, likely water droplets condensed from the cold silky milk tea cup, forming rings as they dripped down.
At this mont, two identical-sized rings remained on the table, one near Wen Nan corresponding to the milk tea he now held, and another across from him...
Wen Nan’s gaze moved from the extra milk tea cup mark on the table to the empty chair across, then slowly dragged further away, finally landing on the open window, the flickering shadows of the trees outside under the dim streetlights.
"Mr. Dashu! Good evening!" The manager Lu Renjia saw Wen Nan, imdiately approached the table, and enthusiastically greeted him, "Are you alone today? Is Lady Little White Rabbit not with you?"
Wen Nan casually replied, "Lady Little White Rabbit is busy with the blood donation van, she doesn’t have ti to co over."
Lu Renjia raised a puzzled brow, paused, and then laughed, "Hahaha, Mr. Dashu, you always have such a sense of humor. Would you like to order sothing?"
Wen Nan glanced again at the open window and then said, "Two signature silky milk teas, please. To go."
"Alright, please hold on a mont."
The manager turned around, quickly made two milk teas, packaged them in a plastic bag, and brought them back to Wen Nan’s table.
Wen Nan picked up the tea, stood up, and before leaving, asked the manager, "Do you provide delivery services here?"
In this era, there are no online delivery apps like ituan or Ele, and even KFC and McDonald’s only have a few stores offering delivery services.
So when he heard Wen Nan’s question, the manager hesitated briefly, then quickly smiled, "Yes, yes, Mr. Dashu lives in the boys’ dormitory nearby, right? If you need delivery, just call directly, and I’ll have a staff mber deliver it to your dorm."
Saying this, the manager pulled out his phone, entered his number, and handed it to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan morized the number, picked up the milk tea, and turned to leave the shop.
"Leaving already?" The manager called after him, "Be sure to co back often."
Wen Nan waved a hand to the manager and took a step out the shop door, imdiately spotting a hooded black figure jumping off a platform on the side of the milk tea shop, quickly disappearing into the night.
The figure’s legs and feet appeared sowhat la; Wen Nan instantly recognized Yang Mingzhong.
The last ti they faced Wei Zhe directly, if not for unexpectedly encountering Hu Jiayao and coinciding with the Sword Holder test, Yang Mingzhong might have been done for in that derelict building. Who would have thought that he’d be back "to his old tricks" so soon?
It seems this ti he’s certainly here for that pair of "twin siblings"?
