Magic High School.

hyena……

She wasn't always like this. She used to have her own home and parents, though her family lived outside the city and made a living by scavenging and collecting garbage. Every day, she also had to face beasts that had been corrupted and twisted by magic after accidentally ingesting magical organs.

However, since her parents left, she had to learn to hunt for food alone in the wilderness and continue to survive by scavenging.

And... she met the friend who had brought her out of the wilderness, thus getting her a job as a Blade Runner through connections in the Sheriff's Corps.

Unfortunately, both of them defected from the security team and almost completely stabbed the team, which was essentially a dog raised by the Magical Creatures Company.

This resulted in Silverwing City having no one to collect corpses for a period of time.

But when she crept into the shadows, she found that the cesspool was still just as rotten as before.

The smell of addictive immunosuppressants was everywhere. Even though many people's immune rejection of their magical organs had not relapsed, they couldn't help but drink the inhibitors like water.

Once this happens, the person will not live more than six months. The addictive immunosuppressants will completely drain his last reserves and burn out his brain.

He can either kill others and steal their magical organs to make money, or he'll wait until he runs out of money and the inevitable immune rejection will torment his brain, turning him into a twisted madman completely controlled by magical corruption.

This was the end for them.

Fortunately, she found the school through the props left by her parents, and thus escaped to the school after defecting from the security team.

Even Chernobyl was a million times better than this cesspool, she thought.

The company's advertisements are plastered on the walls of every building, and the airships are constantly broadcasting all sorts of ads, including various magical organs and immunosuppressants for different conditions and populations.

Oh, right, Xiaoye also remembered that the cheapest inhibitor is now more expensive than purified water. It's not that the inhibitor is cheap, but that purified water is incredibly expensive.

Because the water resources have long been monopolized by the company, the production of inhibitors and purified water are both handled by subsidiaries of Magic Biotechnology, which can easily raise the price of purified water.

As for the other water?

You wouldn't want to try anything other than contaminated wastewater, since those twisted beasts outside Silverwing City were likely infected by ingesting magical organs and drinking this water.

As for rainwater?

I'm sorry, but in Silverwing City, rainwater is the private property of the Magical Creatures Company, and collecting rainwater is illegal.

It really is a cesspool of a world...

Xiaoye looked at this seemingly prosperous and futuristic world, but all she felt was a chill and a sense of distortion.

Has no one ever thought about overthrowing the company?

Yes, there are too many people. Some have thought about building new forces to overthrow the company, but those forces were assassinated in their infancy.

Some people choose to do something big, to give the company a ruthless blow, killing everyone from top to bottom.

However, his body was hung at the company's main entrance the next day, becoming a dried-up scarecrow.

Some people want to unite the lower classes, but these people, who are infinitely vertically divided, have become cannibals with zero intelligence. They can't even speak properly, and their brains have been eroded into fools by the double blow of magical organs and inhibitors.

They didn't think the company made their lives miserable; rather, they thought it was someone from the next street, or some gang, or some sheriff, who made their lives unbearable.

You say the company is bad? They're even grateful to the company, saying that the company's inhibitors saved them from suffering from immune rejection.

They even believe that the immune system is the biggest evil, the culprit behind their suffering and poverty, and that it would be better if this stupid body didn't have an immune system.

Tang is finished... beyond saving...

If she ever becomes powerful enough to single-handedly defeat all the companies, she will hang all the employees from the streetlights and then give each of them a taste of her own medicine.

She would rather her entire world be populated by staunch feudal Han Chinese than see them struggling in this cesspool.

In many cases, the more she understood the system of this world, the more she felt that it was hopeless, that it was already over, and that perhaps killing them would be the only way to be free.

Of course, this was her darkest thought, but in reality, she couldn't possibly do it.

"Sigh..." In the end, Xiaoye could only sigh.

She was too weak and powerless to save everyone; she could only save herself and her last friend.

Following the shadows, she was about to arrive at the place she had arranged to meet her friend.

It was a cemetery on the outskirts of Silverwing City. The cemetery was a towering tower, and the company said that only by placing the soul in the sky could one achieve true freedom.

But Xiaoye knew that it was just the company trying to save more land.

During the journey, she unexpectedly encountered members of the security team again.

Each of these people has been fitted with the most advanced magical organs, and there are even specially matched models, which allows the sheriff to see the magical organs of others with his own eyes.

Therefore, Xiao Ye said that if Li Ge were born in this world, his Lion Eye would definitely be the top-tier magical organ, even surpassing the Supreme Bone. It would be the top-tier magical organ that any company executive would be willing to give up their original eyes in order to replace them.

However, having been in contact with Li Ge for so long, she had long since figured out how to evade visual detection.

In an instant, she changed her path from hiding in the shadows on the surface of the earth to hiding in the underground sewers.

Although the city's sewers were littered with corpses and slimes washed away by the solution, this was her safest way to infiltrate. At the same time, Xiaoye would not give up her surface vision. A shadowy tentacle quietly popped out of the ground, moving across the ground like the shadow of a bird. This was her eye.

Soon, she was completely out of the sight of the security team and successfully arrived at the cemetery.

Slowly emerging from the shadows beneath the ground, Xiaoye, draped in a shadow cloak, made a secret agreement with her friend.

Those were the words they spoke when they first met, words that only Lysa could understand, and only she could comprehend their meaning.

Xiaoye firmly believed this, because they were family who depended on each other for survival, and the last people in this world who could huddle together for warmth.

Although she now has more family members, including her silly eldest son Li Ge, her mischievous second son Yi Lian, and her silly daughter Valerie, and even though she is busy taking care of her adopted sons like a father, these are her happiest days.

So she was determined to rescue Lysa, no matter the cost or the method. Even if Lysa refused to leave, she would break her limbs and drag her to the school!

However, at that moment, a sense of danger suddenly struck.

Xiaoye immediately turned to the side, and then a standard-issue short knife from the security team instantly stabbed towards the spot where she had been standing.

Blade Runner!

She was all too familiar with this method; it was from Blade Runner!

Before she could even see who attacked her, she was on the verge of death when she quickly drew her knife, turned around, and perfectly parried the blow.

At this moment, Xiaoye finally saw the other person clearly.

It was a girl who looked similar to her, even with similar hair color, but she wore a compound eye mask that covered almost the entire upper half of her face, leaving only her mouth exposed.

In truth, this person should be considered her junior and colleague, but now, Sayo didn't hesitate at all. She was no longer the Silverwing Killer; she was now Sayo, a student in the Treasure Artifact Department!

The short sword slashed towards the opponent's cheek in an instant. At the same time, she multitasked, and the tentacles formed from her shadow lashed out at her legs.

The opponent dodged his own shadow, but couldn't completely avoid the slash that came rapidly from the shadows.

"laugh!"

Although the knife did not cut her open from bottom to top, blood spurted from her chest in an instant. If she hadn't retreated with all her might, the knife would have sliced ​​her face in half.

However, most of the damage was avoided; the knife only slightly grazed her chest and cheek, and shattered the compound eye mask on her face.

The sound of the mask fragments hitting the ground was particularly jarring in the silent cemetery.

However, the next moment, Xiaoye's pupils contracted, her whole body trembled, and she froze on the spot.

Because beneath that Blade Runner mask lies a face that looks exactly like his own!

Chapter 106 Twin Shadows

In that instant, a strong sense of fear seeped into Xiaoye's mind.

Why does she have the same face as me?

No, it's not just the face that's the same; the hair color, height, figure, and even physical fitness are all very similar to my former self.

It was as if she were the one opposite him, and as if the person opposite him was the traitor named "Night".

Even in that instant, Xiaoye felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she thought of something extremely terrifying.

The Blade Runner organization was almost wiped out when she and Lysa betrayed them, but now, this person who looks exactly like her has become the new Blade Runner.

So, how many people like this are there?

And what about Lysa? Where is her friend who brought her out of the wilderness and helped her defect from the sheriff's squad?

Could it be that this monster who looks exactly like her has already used that face to deceive Ryza?

No, that's very possible. If it were her own face, Ryza would most likely be fooled, and then she would face utter ruin!

In an instant, countless emotions surged into his heart: fear, anger, confusion, and a deep-seated dread completely overwhelmed him.

She gripped the short knife tightly, her teeth clenched beneath her mask.

"Who are you?!" Xiaoye roared, the neon lights in the night shining on her, and the blade reflecting a few points of light.

"Number 007, Number 007, please reply, please reply. Have you found any trace of the mother body?" The operator's call came through the earpiece.

However, the next moment, the "007" on the other side slowly took off his headset, threw it on the ground, and crushed it completely with the security team's military boots.

At the police headquarters, 007 was instantly declared dead (defected).

"If I kill you, then I will be the real Ye!" She stared intently at Xiao Ye, uttering each word clearly, ignoring the wound on her chest and the bloodstains on her cheek. She also raised her short sword and assumed the exact same stance as Xiao Ye.

At the same time, the shadow beneath the girl opposite her, who looked almost exactly like her, seemed to come alive, extending out tentacles.

However, compared to his own shadow, the other person's shadow seemed as powerless and weak as a premature baby.

In that instant, Xiaoye understood why she hadn't noticed her hiding here before—because she possessed abilities originating from the same source as her!

Vanish into the shadows!

"You!" At this moment, Xiaoye was shocked.

"Don't worry, after I kill you, I will do better than you, more perfect than you. I will rescue Ryza, I will kill the other imposters, destroy the company's data, and take Ryza away from this cesspool of a world." At this moment, the girl with the same face said words that sent chills down Xiaoye's spine.

"You've joined another organization, haven't you? I remember from the database, you seemed to have a new family, right? Their names are Li Ge, Yi Lian, and Valerie, aren't they?"

In that instant, Xiaoye could no longer suppress her emotions and anger.

The short knife was entangled with shadows, reflecting a dazzling array of colors under the neon lights of the night sky.

"!" The short swords clashed violently, and the sparks that erupted resembled fireworks over the cemetery.

"You monster!" In an instant, Xiaoye unleashed her shadow into physical tentacles, but the next moment, the opponent also manipulated the shadow, not to attack, but merely to transform it into a defense like a sea urchin.

“I have the same power as you, the same face as you, and even the same genes and body as you. Why do I only have a number instead of being called ‘Night’? Why don’t I deserve all your happiness and future?” Shadow Urchin blocked the tentacles, but her shadow manipulation was not as good as the real Night. Even though they were from the same source, hers was just a fake.

However, using shadows for defense, rather than taking the initiative to attack, is enough to withstand Xiaoye's shadow tentacles for a short time!
