āI donāt know.ā Zhou Wen shook his head slightly and stared thoughtfully at the Companion Eggs.
However, the members of the Wang family had already rushed to their luggage in euphoria. They only needed to circle around to obtain many precious Companion Eggs. The things that they had risked their lives for in the past could now be obtained by taking a stroll. Anyone would be excited to the point of losing control
āFamily Head, thereās no mistake about it. Everything is correct. Stop hesitating. Leave that thing behind. We donāt know what will happen in the future. Letās quickly get a few more while we can.ā A few elders from the Wang family came over to persuade Wang Lu.
āStick to the plan; it will be done in the next round. Thereās no rush,ā Wang Lu said.
āThe plan is set by humans. We can be more flexible when needed. Thereās no need to be so inflexible. If we had left that thing behind earlier, there would be three of them now. Apart from you, we can also have oneā¦ā The elder didnāt finish his sentence, but Zhou Wen understood.
The Wang family probably had a special Companion Egg or treasure, but they were afraid of any accidents, so they didnāt dare leave it there.
Now that the Wang family saw the items being replicated again and again, they couldnāt help but want Wang Lu to replicate more of that item so that they could also have a copy. āAs long as it can be replicated, everyone will naturally have a share. Thereās only one round left. Letās go,ā Wang Lu said as she continued on her way, not giving those people a chance to speak.
The few elders were somewhat helpless, but they didnāt say anything else. They packed their things and continued on their way with Wang Lu.
āDid you discover anything?ā Wang Lu asked when she saw Zhou Wen frowning in thought.
āNot really, but I thought of something. If I want to determine which one is the original Little Li, we can leave one there and see if he will be replicated to know if heās the original,ā Zhou Wen said.
āIf itās the original version, wouldnāt there be another Little Li?ā Wang Lu said with a smile.
Zhou Wen laughed as well. āThatās why itās just a thought. Actually, thereās no point in distinguishing them. Even if you know whoās the replica, you canāt be heartless enough to kill him, right?ā
āThatās right. Although heās a replica, heās no different from Little Li. We grew up together, so how can we bear to do it? Unless heās not Little Liā¦ā Wang Lu said gloomily.
āIf itās not Little Li, what else could it be?ā As Zhou Wen spoke, he turned to look at the two Little Lis. When he saw them, his expression suddenly changed.
As the other members of the Wang family were excited, all of them wanted to walk faster. In the beginning, they had paid special attention to the two Little Lis, but now, the two had unknowingly fallen to the back. No one wanted to watch them.
The two Little Lis were originally identical, but now, one of them had changed at some point in time.
Little Li was only in his twenties. His eyes were rather big, and he had black oriental-styled irises. However, now that one Little Li had his head lowered, his eyes had turned completely white like a blind person.
From the point of view of an ordinary person, there were only a few differences. However, in Zhou Wenās eyes, Little Li emitted a strange aura that resembled white smoke rising from his body.
Oh no, thereās something wrong with the replica. Zhou Wenās heart skipped a beat.
The Little Li who had his head lowered suddenly looked up and revealed a strange smile at Zhou Wen. In the next moment, he pounced on the other Little Li beside him.
As the duo were too close, Zhou Wen didnāt have the time to do anything. The moment the two Little Li came into contact, they seemed to fuse together, turning from two to
one.
Zhou Wen had already flashed in front of Little Li, but he didnāt know what was happening. It was naturally impossible for him to directly kill him. All he did was reach out to grab Little Liās arm and restrain him.
āMr. Zhou, what are you doing?ā Upon hearing the commotion behind, the Wang family stopped and looked over. Seeing Zhou Wen grab Little Liās arm, they looked at him in puzzlement.
āDonāt you realize that one Little Li is missing?ā Zhou Wen stared at Little Li and said.
As they were too excited, everyone had long forgotten about Little Li. Only when Zhou Wen mentioned it did they recall.
āThatās right. Why is there only one Little Li? Where did the other Little Li go? Donāt tell me he ran off?ā Everyone looked around but didnāt find the other Little Li.
āZhou Wen, whatās going on?ā Wang Lu hadnāt seen the scene, so she didnāt know that the two Little Li had fused into one.
Zhou Wen recounted what he had seen while observing Little Liās reaction.
Little Li was very honest. He allowed Zhou Wen to grab him without moving or struggling. His eyes looked a little demented.
Everyone was puzzled when they heard that. They sized up Little Li, but no matter how they looked at it, they couldnāt imagine how the two of them had fused into one.
āThereās something wrong with the replicas here. We canāt continue replicating them,ā Zhou Wen said to Wang Lu.
Before Wang Lu could say anything, an elder from the Wang family said in a strange tone, āMr. Zhou, did the two Little Lis really fuse into one?ā
āI saw it with my own eyes,ā Zhou Wen said.
āThere are so many people here. Why are you the only one who saw it? Isnāt it too much of a coincidence that no one else saw it?ā The elder snorted coldly.
āUncle Liu, what do you mean?ā Wang Lu said unhappily.
āFamily Head, Iāve already said that we should keep this matter private. However, you refused to listen and insisted on letting an outsider follow. Now, he canāt stand that our Wang family will be doing well. Family Head, what do you think we should do?ā the elder said angrily.
āUncle Liu, what are you trying to say?ā Wang Lu frowned.
āNone of us saw the two Little Lis fuse into one. Only Mr. Zhou saw it. He even said with certainty that thereās a problem with the replica and that we canāt continue replicating. Donāt you think that thereās a problem with this? Even if the two Little Lis really fused into one, it doesnāt mean that we canāt continue replicating. Wouldnāt using one of the replicas before they fuse work? Why canāt we continue replicating? I think itās because someone doesnāt want our Wang family to do well and is deliberately making things difficult for us. Itās hard to tell if the other Little Li had fused or met with misfortune thanks to someone.ā
āZhou Wen doesnāt lie,ā Wang Lu said.
āOne can never judge a book by its cover. Family Head, you are still young. There are some things that you havenāt seen through. In front of absolute benefits, what can people not do?ā The elder was rather friendly to Wang Lu, but not towards Zhou Wen. āEven if the two Little Lis have fused into one, he should be able to speak, right? If we ask him ourselves, wonāt the truth be out? Whatās the point of restraining him?ā
