The shadowy figure stared at the black goblet chess piece that had appeared out of nowhere in Ye Tianxuan's hand, its tentacles twisting in pain. "What is this thing?!"
Does Yin Xiu have anything else he can take out? And what is this dark thing? It's so blurry that you can't even make out the shape of a chess piece.
Ye Tianxuan smiled and pointed to the black tentacles wrapped around Yin Xiu's arm in the image, "It's his boyfriend in his shrunken form."
The shadowy figure looked up, staring intently at the scene where the writhing tentacles of a robbery flew from Yin Xiu's hand to the next node in a second, even shattering into a tiny ball on the ground with a thud.
Other things, when divided into two parts, might become dismembered corpses, but Li Mo can be divided into two types.
The shadowy figure stared at the black ball that had fallen to the ground. As the liquid from the splatter slowly coalesced, it became menacing again. While repairing the eyes on its tentacles, it surveyed its surroundings and then its gaze met that of the monster chess piece that had fallen earlier.
Beneath the shadow was the same pitch-black monster, swaying and writhing like mist, its enormous size making the black mass in front of it appear incredibly weak and helpless.
Their eyes met, and the eyes on the tentacles instantly transformed from innocent and naive to sinister and sharp.
The next second, the black slime suddenly exploded, becoming enormous, and swallowed the misty monster in front of it whole, tearing its body to shreds.
As it chewed, the enlarged black ball of flesh continued to wrinkle and try to shrink back down. "It's getting...fatter...it can't go back to my hand...it's in my hand..."
Ye Tianxuan tapped the table with his fingers, surprised that this little thing had two faces, completely different from when it was in front of Yin Xiu.
He turned to look at the dark figure opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Do you still want to play chess pieces? If not, Yin Xiu can come over openly and honestly. Then the support pieces can move forward, leading the way step by step. There shouldn't be anything that can stop him, right?"
The shadowy figure stared intently at the situation on the board. Yin Xiu's pieces were already very close to the finish line. He calculated the remaining routes and realized that even if Yin Xiu made another turn, he still had several moves left to face his own pieces.
The shadowy figure placed a monster in the small square, and Ye Tianxuan turned Yin Xiu's piece slightly to the right.
The shadowy figure placed another monster in the square in front of Yin Xiu. Ye Tianxuan pressed the black ball that had finished eating and slid it to the right, helping Yin Xiu eat the monster. With the black ball in the front row of squares, Yin Xiu could always go to the dungeon that he had interfered with.
The shadowy figure could only place a few more monsters in Yin Xiu's squares to entangle him, but this gave Ye Tianxuan a few more steps, allowing him to directly cross the square where the black ball was located and reach the area near the finish line.
The situation immediately became tense.
The shadowy figure looked at the chessboard where Yin Xiu was only one square away from the finish line. He had to find a way to make him stop there, so he took out a chess piece and placed it at the spot where Yin Xiu was currently standing.
The surrounding scenery changed in an instant, and Yin Xiu returned to the darkness he had started in. However, this time, there was another figure standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Yin Xiu gripped his knife in an instant, staring warily at the figure in front of him. The black, twisted shape, with its indistinct features and writhing tentacles radiating outwards, made Yin Xiu feel a strong sense of familiarity.
"I think you've seen me before." The dark figure slowly approached Yin Xiu, using light words to lower his guard.
"I've seen you before?" Yin Xiu stared at it, feeling his hazy memories suddenly become clear.
"You…you came to town to find me…that…" He frowned, his hand holding the knife trembling, but he didn't know why.
"Yes." The shadowy figure opposite said softly, "I went to the town to find you, I pulled you into the dungeon, I ran the dungeon with you, and I helped you a lot."
He recounted Yin Xiu's past, filling in the gaps in his current memory, but the face in his memory had turned into this distorted black shadow.
The last monster piece that landed on the chessboard in front of Yin Xiu was itself.
Yin Xiu frowned and tried his best to recall, the missing fragments of memory in his mind were rapidly being repaired and then rapidly collapsing.
His current memory tells him that he knows the person in front of him very well, someone he has known for a long time, but at the same time, his body is also sounding an alarm, telling him that the person in front of him is dangerous.
Feeling conflicted, Yin Xiu was unsure how to deal with the person in front of him. He took a step forward, his hand holding the knife trembling even more violently.
"Wait a minute..." As if he had thought of something, Yin Xiu suddenly looked up at the other person again, "A man who looks just like you came to me and said he was my boyfriend, but in my memory, the person who said he was my boyfriend was you?"
The shadowy figure smiled unmoved. "That's an imposter, a monster trying to steal you. I'm the real one."
Yin Xiu stared at him, caught in a huge dilemma. "Then tell me, what kind of person am I as you know me? Prove to me that you are the real one."
The shadowy figure seemed to have been waiting for this. It slowly repeated in a low voice what Li Mo had said to Yin Xiu in the cafeteria, word for word, which only confused Yin Xiu more.
"How...did you say the same thing to him?"
"Because he's my imposter... naturally he has my memories, right?" The shadowy figure slowly approached Yin Xiu. "Do you remember how I always followed you when you were doing dungeons?"
"Once you go to the town, I will never see you again. I can only secretly send some of my people to look for you."
The dark figure slowly stood in front of Yin Xiu, staring at his astonished face. "Don't you remember any of this?"
Yin Xiu paused, his eyes trembling as he stared at him. "What... what are you talking about? I didn't do the dungeon alone, did I?"
The tentacles moving across the shadowy figure froze. "Don't you have this part of your memory?"
Yin Xiu suddenly felt as if his head was about to explode, and he was in excruciating pain.
It seems, vaguely... there really is such a scene, something... a small clump of slime rolling around in my palm...
But when was that? Why doesn't he have that memory?
Out of resistance to the pain, Yin Xiu instinctively drew his knife and swung it in front of him, trying to break the chain of pain, but the shadowy figure quickly retreated, avoiding his attack.
A flash of cold light appeared before his eyes. Although it did not sever the pain, it did allow Yin Xiu to take a deep breath.
His face was pale, but as he stared at the dark figure, a smile curved his lips as if he were relaxing. "You dodged it..."
The shadowy figure was confused and didn't know what he was saying.
Yin Xiu took a deep breath to calm his anxious emotions and headache. He felt relieved and more certain.
"You dodged it; you're the imposter."
