The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Xiao Chen saw Wang Miao searching for something in the city with instruments, and quickly walked over.

"Team leader, is it a Dark Artifact?"

"Yes, but they should have already left."

"Then we're going to go home empty-handed again?"

"It's alright. As long as they take action, they will definitely leave some clues. Let everyone use the Dark Energy Remnant Detector to scan. We should be able to find the route of the Dark Artifact's activities in Guard City No. 3, and thus deduce what they did."

Shortly after the Special Affairs Bureau began their work, they suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the city gate.

"Ah—my people!!"

It was time to begin.

Upon receiving the news, he led over a thousand men from the main city, originally intended for capturing bandits within the city, to this location at breakneck speed.

Upon entering the city and seeing the devastation everywhere, he was filled with rage, grief, and hysteria.

Yue Sheng walked over and smiled.

"Congratulations, Chief Shi!"

Shi Qi's wailing was immediately silenced by Yue Sheng's single sentence.

"Congratulations? So many people in my Shi family have died, and you're congratulating me???"

"I am deeply saddened by the loss of so many brave warriors. However, you have successfully defended the city and will continue to have the right to garrison the Third Guard City."

"They held on?"

Looking at City No. 3, which had been almost completely emptied and looted, Shi Qi felt a sense of surrealism.

What the hell did they manage to protect?

"Bandits... My Shi family is your sworn enemy!"

Yue Sheng reminded him.

"Chief Shi, you'd better not speak for the Shi family. I reckon the Shi family is very unwilling to be enemies with bandits anymore."

Shi Qi ignored Yue Sheng and instead called on the people around him to organize a team to go into the city to collect the corpses, otherwise a plague would break out.

Shi Qi still needs to lead his men to garrison City No. 3.

If the bandits were to seize the garrison's authority, that would be one thing.

The bandits refused, but the Shi family wouldn't allow him to give up guarding this lucrative territory.

Especially after such a huge loss, we need to do our best to make up for it.

Just then, a deafening battle cry suddenly erupted in the distance.

"Charge!!"

"Charge into the city! Rob money, food, and men!!"

"I'm Tarzan from next door♫ Grab the vine of love♫ Listen to me—Awooo~ Awooo~~~"

"Gun in hand, follow me! Kill the Shi family, loot gold coins!"

This familiar feeling... what's going on?

Shi Qi turned around and found that the bandits had returned!

What actually came were those mirror-image bandits.

But Shi Qi had no idea about the intricacies involved.

He was consumed by hatred at this moment, thinking that the bandits had not let them go, and launched a surprise attack.

"Everyone! We swear to defend the honor of the Shi family to the death, and fight the bandits to the death!!"

The Shi family and the bandits have started fighting again.

However, this wave of Shi family members is not the same as the previous wave of Shi family members, and this wave of bandits is not the same as the previous wave of bandits.

Chaos erupted in the city once again.

This involves over two thousand people in close combat.

The Special Affairs Bureau's work was immediately disrupted.

"Damn it! When will these two groups ever stop?! Why are they fighting again?"

"Let's get out of here first, to avoid being affected by them!"

"Why do I have a feeling we're surrounded?"

While the Mirror Bandits appeared to be fighting the Shi family, they were actually quickly shifting the battlefield to Wang Miao's group.

As the fighting progressed, Wang Miao realized that his group was surrounded.

Wang Miao sneered, and cold air emanated from his hands.

"Looks like they're coming for us. Those bandits..."

Thinking about the scene described by Yue Sheng, Wang Miao had a guess.

He suspected that these bandits were not real, but rather mirror images created by the Dark Copper Mirror!

Only the Dark Artifacts could provide a motive for targeting them with special circumstances.

During their battle with the Mirror Bandits, the Shi family discovered that these bandits were completely unequipped!

Tragically, as the fighting progressed, they ended up having sex.

Because the Shi family couldn't beat them.

You have to understand, bandits are naturally very talented.

Now, these mirror bandits can also penetrate their bodies into any reflective surface and then emerge from another reflective surface.

Moreover, you can insert only a portion of it.

And so, on the battlefield, a bandit punched the blade of a Shi family member, which protruded from the reflective surface of his armor and struck him in the chin.

"My God! This is a ghost! The bandits are almost demonic!"

"They're demons!"

"How come every bandit has this strange ability to teleport? Are they really bandits? Or is it that this group of bandits all have the same profession?"

"What other profession can have such outrageous abilities! Is this fair?"

The Shi family suffered repeated defeats, and Shi Qi was the first to flee, not forgetting to utter harsh words.

"Bandits! You just wait! I will definitely get my revenge!"

In the midst of this chaotic battle, the mirror image of Xiao Chen is secretly approaching the real Xiao Chen.

A group of mirror-image bandits surrounded him, providing cover and obstructing his view.

"We'll bring Zhen Xiaochen over later, strip him of his clothes and equipment, and you can quickly change into them and return to Wang Miao's side."

Mirror Image Xiao Chen made an "OK" gesture.

"To make the change faster, take off all your current clothes first."

Mirror Image Xiao Chen obediently stripped down to his underwear, bent over, and hid among the mirror image bandits.

"Hehehe, Xiaomei~~ I'm here!!"

His dark side has taken over again, and he's started acting lewdly.

"Now!"

The mirror image of Xiao Chen's bandits gave him a forceful shove, pushing him directly in front of Wang Miao.

Wang Miao glanced at the real Xiao Chen beside her, who had a shocked expression, and then at the mirror image of Xiao Chen in front of her, who was only wearing underwear.

"What...do you want to do?"

The lewd expression on Xiao Chen's face froze, and he was dumbfounded.

Looking back, he realized there were no more mirrored bandits around him.

They all took several dozen steps back and pointed at him, laughing loudly.

"Hahahaha!!! He believed it, he actually believed it!!"

Mirror Image Xiao Chen's mind hadn't processed it yet.

"Weren't you going to help me replace the original body? What are you doing? Haven't I been exposed?"

"Mirror Ghost Brother cut down a member of the Shi family with a single slash," he shouted to Wang Miao.

"Wang Miao! This person is a mirror image created by the Dark Bronze Mirror. He's going to replace the one next to you and become an undercover agent for you! Hahaha! You ancient Greek god of spies!"

When Wang Miao saw the two Xiao Chens, he had already guessed what was going on.

He didn't understand why these guys, who were also suspected of being part of the Mirror Bandits, would help him.

Why are you helping me?

With a single forbidden spell in each hand, the mirrored Nanfeng sent the Shi family fleeing in terror.

"Because it's fun!"

Mirror Image Xiao Chen covered his crotch, his face flushed with embarrassment, wishing he could disappear into the ground.

The group of mirror-image bandits were very satisfied with his appearance and burst into laughter.

"Look at him, he's only wearing his underwear!"

"Xiao Mei! He wants to sleep with you! Hahaha!!"

"This is so much fun! Boss Westwind did a great job!"

"Aha! The first bit of fun has been achieved. I wonder how things are going with Boss Wan?"

The "Boss Wan" they were talking about was actually the chief bandit leader, Brother Wan Wu.

Right now, Mirror Mist is serving Dark Bronze Mirror.

"Master, was it this bronze mirror that created us?"

Mirror image of Fog Bro's eerie mahjong face reveals three innocent-looking eyes blinking, giving him a harmless appearance...

Ps:

I've read everyone's comments at the end of Chapter 379, and they're different from what you all expected.

The Mirror Bandits do not possess the characteristics of Song Gua's clones; they are a group of independent mirror figures. As can be seen from these three chapters, they do not listen to either side and are simply looking for fun.

This is actually related to the source of the ability to create clones, which I will discuss later.

If the mirrored bandits here can be recovered by Song Gua, can be commanded, can take damage for Song Gua, and Song Gua can exchange positions with them, then serious conflicts will arise in the later stages.

Therefore, it cannot be as everyone expects, with three thousand additional clones.

However, the Mirror Bandits will accomplish a great feat in their short lives.

To find out what happens next, please read the next chapter.
