I love you, brother, but you, the evil god, must fall into good.

Chapter 44 Calamity Sequence 010, [The False Man]

"...A fake?!"

Lin En and Zhou hope fell silent almost simultaneously; of course they knew that name.

of course!

This isn't one of those fake people you see in short videos.

It is a true calamity!

As is well known, the Galactic Federation's textbooks have dedicated chapters on the top ten sequence calamities.

And the page about "fake people" is one that sends chills down the spines of countless students.

Not because it is the strongest.

Rather, it's because... it's not a calamity at all, but a race!

Because of this.

Only then can it firmly hold its position in the Calamity Sequence 010, second only to Calamity Sequence 009 [Nuo Yao].

Lynn's mind involuntarily conjured up the content from his textbooks.

[Calamity Sequence 010: The False Man.]

[A mass-type disaster sequence.]

[Core Authority: Global Mimicry and Disguise.]

[By replicating the very essence of the target's existence, one can use it as the source of one's own power.]

[Possesses the ability to mimic everything from the physical body, organs, breath, voice, spiritual energy, and mental fluctuations, to personality and soul information.]

The higher the rank, the more complete the dimensions of mimicry, and the higher the upper limit of the things that can be disguised.

[High-level replicas can achieve true, perfect replication.]

[Among the calamities rated by the Galactic Federation, those with the strongest abilities in stealth, infiltration, assassination, etc.]

Thinking about this...

Lynn couldn't help but gasp.

"This thing... it's practically a born spy."

Zhou hope nodded slowly.

"Moreover, they are more terrifying than spies because they replicate more than just identities."

"And existence itself!"

There was once a sentence specifically marked in the textbook.

When you start to doubt whether the people around you are genuine.

The real danger is not the answer.

Rather, you can no longer prove that you are not!

The air fell silent once more.

Even just recalling the textbook content sends chills down your spine.

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Su Zhiwei couldn't help but add a comment.

"besides……"

"Didn't the textbook include pictures of them?"

Lynn's lips twitched.

"Teacher, please stop talking. That thing is so badly copied, it's practically the same as what you'd see on a history exam..."

"This isn't to make your memory stronger. The more vague things are during exams, the more you'll try to remember them! Besides, showing you high-definition 4K might make some of your sensitive classmates lose their minds..."

"really."

Zhou hope nodded slightly; she also remembered that it couldn't be called a living being at all.

It has no fixed original form.

In essence, they are nothing more than a mass of deformed flesh and blood that is constantly flowing and writhing.

The entire body appears semi-transparent.

The surface of the body is covered with countless tiny eye sockets.

But strangely enough...

Inside those eye sockets, there were no eyeballs, only empty, black depressions.

Like countless open holes, silently watching the whole world.

There is also a note at the end of the textbook.

[A fake person does not have a true original appearance.]

[Whatever appearance they present is only how they want others to see.]

And that mass of deformed flesh and blood.

This is merely their initial, and closest to, essential state.

It is said that high-level pseudo-humans can achieve anything by simply touching their target.

Then you can begin collecting all of the other party's life information.

From flesh and blood to genes.

From the soul to memory.

As their rank increases, the level of mimicry they can achieve also increases.

Low-level imposters can only imitate appearance and voice.

Mid-level pseudo-humans can replicate sequences, abilities, and even behavioral habits.

A truly high-level pseudo-human... can even achieve near-identical soul fluctuations.

Unless one possesses extremely special detection abilities, almost no one can detect it.

The air fell silent for a moment.

The memories of the "fake person" are not over yet.

The reason why the Galactic Federation textbooks dedicate an entire chapter to this race is not simply because they are dangerous.

Furthermore because...

They once almost caused the Galactic Federation to pay a heavy price.

Lynn slowly recalled the history of the earliest times from the textbook.

[Federal Calendar Year 237.]

The commander-in-chief of the Third Expeditionary Fleet has been replaced by a traitor.

The entire fleet unknowingly stumbled into the Cataclysmic Starfield.

Ultimately, the entire army was wiped out.

.........

[Federal Calendar Year 301.]

[Of the nine members of the Supreme Council of the 31st Colony, six are high-ranking pseudo-humans.]

The entire colony's defense system automatically deactivated.

Overnight, more than 43 million people died.

.........

[Federal Calendar Year 489.]

[The core research institute of the Federal Academy of Sciences was infiltrated, and the identities of 37 academicians were replaced over a period of seven years.]

[It wasn't until one of the imposters voluntarily exposed himself that the Federation realized the entire research institute had already fallen.]

.........

[Federal Calendar Year 712.]

The Galactic Federation officially promulgated the "Anti-False Human Ordinance."

Any process involving identity verification, important meetings, military deployments, etc., must undergo at least three levels of soul authentication.

In the same year, the Federation established a Special Calamity Countermeasures Department, which was the predecessor of the later Judgment Squad.

.........

At the end of the textbook, in scarlet font, is a warning that almost all students memorize.

Never trust your eyes!

Because for a deceitful person, the eyes are the easiest thing to deceive.

Thinking of this, Lynn couldn't help but smack his lips.

"No wonder it's ranked 010 in sequence..."

"This thing is disgusting and powerful, which are two completely different things."

Zhou hope nodded slightly, lost in her memories.

"Brother, that mask you destroyed before was already this difficult to deal with, even though it only had a trace of the aura of the Calamity Sequence 009 [Nuo Demon]. And the [False Human], although it's Sequence 010, ranking one lower, is even more difficult to deal with!"

"If the [Nuo Yao] represents destruction..."

"That 'false person' represents suspicion."

"Because when they appeared, nobody knew..."

"Are the people around me still the same people they used to be?"

As Su Zhiwei listened to their analysis, she couldn't help but shudder.

So that's why.

She patted the two of them on the shoulders, her expression becoming serious.

"You two absolutely mustn't be alone at school these days."

"Especially after school."

"Although schools on Zuxing have security guards specifically assigned to identify [imposters], it's better to be safe than sorry!"

"If you notice anything strange about a classmate, tell the teacher immediately, or contact the adjudication board directly."

"Never try to be strong on your own."
