A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

"so beautiful."

"Beauty, don't let appearances blind you."

Luke turned his head to look at Natasha, who had followed him, chuckled, and then reached into his pocket with his right hand, suddenly clenching it in mid-air.

next second.

The fragmented sounds echoed throughout every corner of this space.

The blue sky, white clouds, and green grassland began to crumble and fall apart like a shattered mirror. Then, Natasha saw the true appearance of this space.

There was no blue sky or white clouds overhead; only the darkness of black intertwined with crimson, a symbol of chaos.

There was no lush green grassland underfoot; all that could be seen was yellow sand.

Endless yellow sand.

Lu Ke bent down, picked up the yellow sand from the ground, rubbed it, put it to his nose, and took a light sniff.

He confirmed the taste; it was the yellow sand he was looking for that had given these clones fragments of their souls.

at this time.

Natasha saw two figures appear at the end of her line of sight, then struggled to traverse the yellow sand and appeared in front of her.

"Look, there's someone over there."

"..."

Lu Ke looked up.

into the eye.

The figures of two women, one dressed in red and the other in black, who were barely visible in the yellow sand, gradually became clear and real.

The first thing that came into focus was the girl in front of her, dressed in red, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and whose face even Natasha vaguely remembered.

Natasha looked at the girl in red with some surprise.

Look carefully.

This clearly looks a bit like what Alice looked like after she was projected and grew up.

Thick and greasy, shit!

"You're not that Alice..."

"Hello, Father."

The girl in red interrupted Natasha, smiling at Luke and greeting him, "Father doesn't seem surprised at all."

Lu Ke laughed and said, "Is there any need to be surprised? Haven't we already met?"

The girl in red smiled and said, "Father is talking about Alice outside, right? She was created by my grandfather using my consciousness because I couldn't leave here to see Father outside, so my grandfather did it."

Luke laughed and said, "Other clones are considered smugglers when they go out, but if you go out, it won't be smuggling, it will be outright robbery."

If the reason why other clones are able to exhibit a living aspect is because they all used the yellow sand here, which is rich in fragments of souls...

So the red-clad girl in front of us who says she can't get out isn't a so-called fragment of a soul, but rather a completely new soul assembled here.

Simply put.

The girl in red in front of me is no longer a clone, because she possesses a complete soul.

but……

She cannot leave this space because her soul belongs here, not outside.

Other clones have fewer soul fragments, so they don't trigger the life-or-death defense mechanism, but the girl in red in front of them...

Unless Mephisto is blind, he would surely notice someone robbing him of his authority.

Even if Mephisto didn't come looking for trouble, the world's inherent exclusionary will meant that once this girl in red appeared outside, her whole soul, forged from countless fragments, would shatter.

This is the main reason why the girl in the red dress said she couldn't leave.

but……

This is not the point.

The focus is on the girl in black next to the girl in red.

Unlike the red-clad girl who acted like a familiar face from the moment they met, seemingly the obedient daughter of Lu Ke, this black-clad girl remained silent after appearing, simply gazing at Lu Ke with her large, dark, and bright eyes.

Chapter 446 The Housewife, the Goddess of Death

The girl in black was about the same age as Alice in red, around seventeen or eighteen years old.

but……

Alice in red has an East-West mixed-race appearance, while the girl in black looks exactly like an Asian girl.

Wait a moment.

Asian.

Cute?

Natasha seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look at the girl in black who had appeared with Alice in red but hadn't said a word until now.

"Hey, you're not Mengmeng, are you?"

"Yes, that's Mengmeng."

The girl in black didn't answer Natasha; it was Alice in red.

Natasha couldn't believe it.

"This is impossible!"

"Why is it impossible?"

“When Mengmeng was kidnapped, she was no more than one year old. But how old is she? Is she also a clone?” Natasha subconsciously looked at Luke beside her.

Luke shook his head expressionlessly.

"No, she is not a clone."

"what?"

Natasha was shocked once again upon hearing this. If the girl in black in front of her wasn't a clone of Mengmeng, then she was... Mengmeng herself.

but……

How is this possible?

In such a short time, Mengmeng, who was less than a year old, has suddenly grown to the age of seventeen or eighteen.

is it possible?

Of course it is possible.

It's fine as long as the flow of time in this space is different from that in the real world.

And here...

In this very space, a storm of chaos and darkness raged around its perimeter, causing time here to deviate significantly from that of the real world.

Time flows much slower here than in the real world.

He roughly estimated that what would be a day in the real world would probably be two or three years here.

Lu Ke's gaze fell on the face of the girl in black.

"do you know me?"

"..."

The girl in black looked at Lu Ke quietly, hesitated for a moment, shook her head first, and then nodded.

Alice in red, who was standing nearby, said, "I showed Mengmeng pictures of my father and Aunt Lucy."

Luke nodded, said nothing more, turned around and passed through the vortex-like teleportation channel, returning to the server room, which was still slightly humid and hot despite the fans running at high power again.

Zola's projection remained in the same spot.

After emerging from the vortex, Luke looked at Zola expressionlessly: "Who gave you this space, Dr. White, Daniel, or the Witchheart Demon?"

This space was just on the verge of being swallowed by chaos and darkness.

But it is also a small space that is its own.

If nothing unexpected happens, this small space was originally part of a dimensional world before, and it fell into the small space it is today because the dimensional world broke apart.

But anyway.

Such a small space is unlikely to be found by a cyborg like Zola.

Zola was very honest now because he knew very well that he had not yet obtained Luke's exemption, so he gave the answer almost the instant Luke spoke.

“Dr. Bai sent it as payment for my joining their camp, and at the same time, it let me know their true strength.” Zola explained in detail: “But as for whether it is Daniel or the Witchheart Demon, I don’t know. I have never met them, and I have only been in contact with Dr. Bai.”

This is the same principle as the oath of allegiance.

When Dr. White gave Zola the Z-Dimension space, his intention was to let Zola know what kind of existence was behind them.

They've already given away a space, so it's quite obvious whether to help Lu Ke or abandon the light and help them in the dark.

It was precisely because of this that, despite never having seen the Witchheart Demon, Zola ultimately decided to abandon the light and follow Dr. White.

But right now?

Zola analyzed the tone of Luke's voice just now.

When Luke was talking about Dr. White and Daniel, their tone was consistent.

Considering the deaths of Dr. White and Daniel, it's clear that in Luke's mind, the Witchheart Demon is also a dead man.

Of course.

Luke used the same tone when he called his name.

Natasha, standing to the side, listened to Luke and Zola's conversation and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She knew Dr. Bai had just passed away.
