Chapter 654 I am not him (1)

Let's go back to Shen Tang and Jin.

Since their unpleasant conversation, the two haven't spoken a word. Every time Shen Tang tries to communicate with him, he's like an iceberg, completely unapproachable.

An unyielding wall of ice seemed to have been erected between the two, and a silent cold war quietly continued.

Shen Tang also heard the commotion outside and quickly went to the window. She saw a large group of people surrounding the manor, and the entire manor was surrounded.

When she saw Shouhe at the forefront of the troops, her expression changed drastically. She didn't care about anything else and rushed into Jin's room.

Looking at the tall, muscular, black-haired man standing by the window, she urged him hastily, "Shouhe is here. He's definitely going to take you back this time. Find a chance to escape quickly!"

Jin had already seen the commotion outside, but he didn't react at all. His dark golden eyes were like a stagnant pool, so calm that he seemed to care about nothing.

"Ah Jin?" Shen Tang stepped forward to take his hand, but he brushed it away.

"You can go now," he said calmly. "Don't worry about me."

The person Shou He wants to arrest is him. Shen Tang has been an innocent bystander from beginning to end, and there's no need for her to get involved in this mess.

As long as Shuhe captures him, he will naturally withdraw his troops.

Shen Tang looked incredulous and shook her head, saying, "No, we have to escape together. How could I abandon you? If you are caught by Shou He, he and the lab will never let you go."

Jin showed no fear on his face, or rather, he had no expression at all. He exuded a faint sense of dejection and said indifferently, "Well, let them take me if they want. I've had enough of this life of hiding and running."

He knew that Shouhe and the laboratory wouldn't give up, so he stayed here for the past few days, waiting for them to come knocking on his door.

Anyway, if they're caught and taken back, they'll either be sealed away or killed.

There are only two possible outcomes.

Living seems meaningless now.

Shen Tang had never seen him so dejected and depressed, as if he had lost interest in everything and even the will to live.

She wanted to offer advice, but didn't know where to begin.

Seeing that people had already entered the building to search, she didn't have time to think and quickly took out a doll from her space.

When Jin saw the doll, a hint of surprise flashed across his calm face. At first glance, it looked almost identical to a real person. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't detect any life force or energy fluctuations, even at such close range, he would have thought it was a living person.

Moreover, its shape is extremely similar to Shen Tang's.

Shen Tang quickly draped a cloak over the doll and infused it with a trace of spiritual energy.

The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The idol suddenly came to life, able to act on its own, and even briefly "use" the supernatural power transmitted from its original body, quickly breaking through the window and jumping out to escape.

"Look, someone's escaped!"

"It's that female!"

"Chase her! Catch her!"

A group of people immediately gave chase.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Tang quickly put on the [Thousand Faces] device.

The high-level items produced by this system can not only change appearance, but also change body shape to a certain extent!

However, it has limitations. The longer you wear it, the more likely it is to burn your skin. Changing your body shape can cause pain from stretching your bones and muscles. The longer you wear it, the stronger the pain becomes, and the shorter it lasts. It is far less convenient than just changing your face, so she rarely changed her body shape in the past.

But this time, Shen Tang used it directly to adjust her body shape.

She grew taller, becoming as large and strong as a male, and her face changed as well, transforming into the likeness of Ember!

Then, with the cloak on, he looks almost exactly like the real person.

"I'll distract them, you find a chance to leave quickly." Shen Tang didn't have time to explain further, she handed him a concealment talisman, and then used a teleportation talisman to leave.

Jin stood frozen in place, and then a commotion arose outside.

"It's that mad beast!" "It's finally appeared! Quick, grab it!"

A large group of people chased after them, and even Shouhe, who had been fooled, took action himself.

The pursuers who came from outside were all lured away.

She...actually used herself as a target, drawing all the fire, just so he could escape?
As Jin gazed at the chaotic scene outside, a crack seemed to appear on his usually cold and lifeless face.

He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, and his breathing became rapid, as if he were about to rush out. But the next second, he felt as if he had been doused with cold water and gave a bitter laugh.

She risked her life to save him, probably because of that "beast husband".

Those who are willing to risk their lives time and time again truly love "him" to the core.

……

Shen Tang's methods didn't last long.

The doll was destroyed before it could escape far, and Shouhe and his orcs surrounded her, blocking all her escape routes.

As he got closer, Shouhe suddenly realized something was wrong. The "male" in front of him had the same appearance and figure as Jin, but the aura was completely different!
No, they've been tricked. This isn't Jhin at all!
"Who are you!"

Shen Tang turned pale with pain and immediately removed her mask, quickly shrinking back to its original shape to reveal her true face.

This sudden change stunned everyone present, and even Shouhe's face showed surprise and anger.

Such a sophisticated disguise fooled even him.

Upon seeing Shen Tang's face clearly, he narrowed his eyes and said in a chilling voice, "It's you again!"

Her voice was filled with undisguised murderous intent, "It's because of you, you female, who has ruined my plans time and time again! Today is your death day!"

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body, like a heavy burden pressing down.

Shen Tang's face turned deathly pale instantly, her body trembled and felt feverish, and she almost collapsed to her knees on the spot. Her whole body felt as if it were bound by invisible chains, stiff and unable to move.

This is the strength of Shouhe, the patriarch of the Shoule Clan. Even at her peak, she was no match for him, let alone now.

The surrounding sky darkened abruptly, black clouds loomed overhead, and strange energy fluctuated violently in the air. A sharp blade formed from lightning appeared out of thin air.

"Xiao Fu!" Yue Lin was so anxious that she wanted to rush over to save her, but she was firmly trapped in place by the suddenly frozen ice and snow chains.

"You brat, don't interfere! Don't disgrace the Yue family tradition!" Yue Zan scolded angrily.

Jiang Mu and the others had already told them that Yue Lin had taken a liking to this female commoner from another race and was even pestering her relentlessly, which was utterly shameful!
He had already arranged a marriage for Yue Lin, either within the clan or with a powerful clan from another tribe. How could he possibly let a commoner woman into the family? If he did, where would the Yue family put their face?
Today, we must put an end to his idea—it would be best to just let the female die!

"You can't touch her...uh!" Yue Lin was knocked unconscious before she could finish speaking.

Yue Zan handed him over to Jiang Mu and coldly ordered, "Take the young master back to rest!"

The Yue family will absolutely not get involved in this matter today.

Logically, the Leopard Clan and the Moon Wolf Clan should have kept to themselves, and the two clan leaders had no relationship. Yue Zan should not have allowed Shou He to lead his troops into the royal city, as this was tantamount to a provocation.

But this time the situation is special, with an ultimatum issued by the "Hand of Creation"!

Jiang Mu and the others looked anxiously at Xun Fu. Yin Luo was so anxious that she was almost crying, but she could not disobey the head of the family, nor could she save anyone. She could only take the young master back first.

Jin clenched the talisman in his hand, his cold expression long gone, staring blankly at Shen Tang, who was forced into a desperate situation, his fists clenched until they turned white.

Despite being verbally abused by him, she still desperately tried to save him... just because of his face?

He said he would sever all ties and become strangers from now on, but when he saw her about to lose her life at the hands of Shouhe, he still couldn't help but take action.

The moment the lightning blade pierced through, Shen Tang's heart tightened. Just as she was about to activate her spatial ability to dodge, a dark figure grabbed her first and instantly pulled her away from the danger.

Shouhe looked at the black-haired youth in the distance and smiled, "You've finally shown up. It wasn't for nothing that I've been looking for you for so long."

 good night~
  Things will return to normal tomorrow. I need to adjust my mindset; I've been so tired lately that my brain is foggy.
