Chapter 756: Chapter 537: Real or Fake “Innate Ashen Holy Body”?_3
To be honest, when he was locked outside the door and saw the wooden figure peel off an entire scalp and, upon wearing it, beca an exact replica of himself and started conversing with Brother Shunzi, he truly broke out in a cold sweat from the bottom of his heart.
Even he couldn’t distinguish the real from the fake within, let alone Shunzi, with whom he hadn’t even cooperated for three hours.
Fortunately, Brother Shunzi wasn’t fooled…
“Actually, there’s nothing to worry about. It just looks a lot like , even without the bonfire, I should be able to tell the real from the fake through the sll of the ‘Beast Transformation Syndro’… Yeah, tell
what happened.”
Colin waved his hand, signaling to get to the point.
Soon, through the narrative of the Ashen Holy Body, he figured out exactly what had happened.
About half an hour earlier, when the Ashen Holy Body woke up, he found himself alone in the room, without Colin appearing.
At first, he could wait a bit, but as more ti passed, being alone in this godforsaken place…
His mind started to wander, and he could not remain calm, so he decided to go out and look for Colin; but not long after he left the room, he encountered so bizarre wanderings, and while dodging, he ran into a dark traditional Chinese dicine office that seed safe at a glance.
And he just happened to hide under a wooden mannequin…
“That thing touched my scalp with its hand, and I blacked out for a while. When I ca to, it had torn off my whole scalp and wore it on itself, and then it turned into …”
“After that, it wanted to attack, but I blocked it, and we were at a stalemate.”
“But then it suddenly ran off, and I followed it all the way back to the room where I first appeared, and then I saw you, Brother Shunzi, coming. It must have been planning to attack you…”
The Ashen Holy Body recounted his ordeal of despair. Although his face was a bit misaligned due to the recent stitching, it still showed deep terror.
If it weren’t for Shunzi, he didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened to himself.
“It wasn’t an attack, it wanted to continue stripping away your social relationships in reality, to truly replace you…” The Fire Tree spoke up, negating what the Ashen Holy Body had just said.
Upon hearing this, the Ashen Holy Body hissed in shock, not having expected the creature to be so vicious.
Not only had it stolen his face, it wanted to take away everything else as well…
“But actually, it makes no difference. If you were an ordinary person, it might indeed take everything from you, but as a company employee… it can’t possibly take your company identity. Even higher beings can’t do that because it’s directly certified by ‘the agreent.’ If it really managed to do that, we wouldn’t be worrying about sothing as trivial as losing identity…” The Fire Tree confidently stated.
“All right, since there’s no problem now, none of this is particularly important. So, you an, I appeared about half an hour after you?”
Colin interrupted the Fire Tree and then looked toward the Ashen Holy Body, knowing his late arrival was likely caused by the sudden ‘dense fog dream.’
“Yes.” After getting a response, Colin thought for a mont and continued to ask if the other had experienced a similar dream.
“I didn’t have such a dream…”
The Ashen Holy Body imdiately shook his head to indicate he wasn’t sure. He had woken up here and felt strange in his body, a sense of unreality that was both unreal and seemingly real, hard to distinguish.
At least the pain from the scalp being ripped off felt unmistakably sharp…
Now his head was still buzzing, and under the skin of his face, it was both itchy and painful.
“It should be the company’s doing, I don’t understand the specifics. But our real bodies are still on the fourth layer,” Colin answered briefly after a quick sense check.
“Still on the fourth layer? Then…”
Seeing that the Ashen Holy Body relaxed sowhat, Colin interrupted and cautioned, “Of course, although we’re not our true bodies here, it’s best not to have an accident. Even if it’s not fatal, it would still result in serious negative consequences.”
Pausing for a mont, Colin clapped his hands. “Okay, we’ve delayed long enough. Let’s go to the consultation hall now and check out the rules.”
“Yeah…” The Ashen Holy Body nodded, having no objections.
Having reached the seventh level, the useful knowledge he could provide was limited. After all, during their initial exploration, they had pretty much crashed on this level…
All he could do was follow Brother Shunzi and see if there was a chance to see his forr teammates again.
But just as the two were preparing to move, Colin suddenly paused and looked towards a corner of the room.
He noticed that the “Psychotic” who was tied up on the fourth floor was also in this room…
