Chapter 23 The main body, you are the source of infection
Xu Ran felt that the wind was a bit strong today, which was strange. We were obviously in a cave, so how could there be such a strong wind? He asked uncertainly:
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now. What kind of poison are you talking about?"
"Xiao Qi Du."
When Xu Ran heard the confirmed answer, he sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I heard it clearly now. So, what the hell is Xiao Qidu?"
The three tool man clones lowered their heads slightly and said hesitantly: "That's right, we really want to touch... touch our heads."
Xu Ran looked up to the sky and sighed, completely speechless. Are these three things in front of him really my clones? What are the things in his mind? Can he be successful?
How come I, who is so wise and powerful, can tell you guys apart? As my true body, I have lost all my face by you.
These three tool-man clones are a magical power that comes with the "Immortal Ancient Immortal Body" technique practiced by Xu Ran. At first, Xu Ran didn't like the magical power of clones. After all, one person has several more clones.
No matter how you look at it, it feels like a schizophrenia, indescribably weird.
However, after disappearing from the system, Xu Ran lost her support and felt fearful and unsettled in her heart. Only then did she remember the magical power of the clone.
This magical power is called "Immortal Clone", and it can create three clones that are exactly the same as the original body, that is, their cultivation, memory, body, blood, and soul breath are all the same.
The clone created by the main body can act independently. If the main body dies, it can be resurrected directly with the help of the clone, which is equivalent to gaining three more lives.
When Xu Ran first cultivated this magical power, this was what he valued. How safe would he be if he could extend three lives out of thin air?
Precisely because he had three backup instructions, Xu Ran dared to walk out of the system mountain alone after the system disappeared.
As for why he used his true body to go out instead of his clone, this was actually a decision Xu Ran made after careful consideration.
At first, Xu Ran thought it would be better to use a clone to go out. After all, it was the clone who died, so he didn't feel bad. But then he thought about it and it seemed that doing so would be more dangerous.
No matter how similar the clone is to the main body, it is still just a clone and can be easily discovered. After the clone is killed, the enemy will know that you still have the main body. Since the main body is not dead, they will definitely continue to attack.
Moreover, there are so many old monsters in the world of cultivation. Those unfathomable old monsters are very likely to calculate the position of the main body through their clones. Isn't this an obvious way to die?
But acting with the main body is different. After all, after the main body is killed, most people will not think that you still have a clone. Even if they know it, most people subconsciously think that after the main body dies, the clone will also die.
I never thought that I could be resurrected directly with the help of a clone.
If you think about it this way, the safety factor is much higher when acting with the main body than with the clone.
Moreover, this kind of clone will not compete with the main body for sovereignty. The clone is how the clone competes for sovereignty.
As for the three tool men who just said that having feelings will affect their resurrection, just lie to ghosts. I don't know what they have in mind?
You don't even look at who created them, and you still want to deceive the wise and powerful beings? Humph, why don't you go to heaven?
Looking at the three squirming tool man clones, Xu Ran said expressionlessly: "Since there is nothing wrong, I will go back. You can continue to work hard."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave. When the three tool men saw Xu Ran was about to leave, they quickly stopped him and shouted: "Stop, you are not allowed to leave, main body."
Xu Ran heard the tool man's voice and the pace on his feet quickened a little.
"You are a mere master, you are the source of infection of Xiao Qi Poison."
When Xu Ran heard this, he quickly stopped, turned around, glared at the three tool men, and said, "What did you say? Who is the slave controller? Who is the source of infection? I didn't seem to hear clearly just now, please tell me again."
The three tool men were stared at by Xu Ran, their expressions were stagnant, and they lowered their heads slightly. It seemed that they were frightened by the aura of the main body, but they gritted their teeth and shouted menacingly:
"If you weren't just controlling the main body, would we be poisoned by Xiaoqi? Don't forget, we are originally clones created by you."
"Yes, the main body, we are just your clones, you are the infectious agent that makes Xiaoqi among us."
Xu Ran looked at the clones yelling at him and felt something was wrong. Why was it so weird? What they said seemed to make sense. After all, they were just clones of himself. If it hadn't been for him, would they have been poisoned by Xiaoqi?
Bah, Bah, Xu Ran, stop it quickly, maybe I will be a mere control? How is it possible, it's obvious that you tools are not normal in your own brains, but you are blaming me?
Xu Ran waved his hand to interrupt the clamoring tool man, and said with a dangerous light in his eyes:
"Shut up, everyone. As a wise and powerful warrior, I am ashamed to be in the company of tools like you. You say that I am a mere mastermind. Do you have any evidence? If you can't tell me why, I will let you see it today. What?
It’s called body pressure.”
When the three tool men heard the shameless speech of their own bodies, their faces darkened and they were immediately furious. What do you mean by being ashamed to be with us? Your true body is right, but our clones don't have any shame?
"Okay, don't you want evidence for me? Then can you tell me why you accepted Xiao Qi as your disciple?"
"Is it strange that I accept Xiao Qi as my disciple?"
"Isn't it strange? After all, Xiao Qi appeared directly in our system mountain without even issuing a warning from the formation arranged by the system.
For such a person of unknown origin, given your character, it is unreasonable not to send her away directly and hide away without knowing her true identity. In the end, you accepted her as your disciple.
Can you explain why?"
"This..." Xu Ran's expression froze. He was obviously asked by his clone, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that Xu Ran was speechless, the avatar looked like a winner and mocked:
"Sigh, do you still have the scene from that day, Qi? It's a very nice name. From now on, you will be my apprentice."
"Yeah, it's so shameful. I didn't expect you to be able to say such shameful words. As a clone, I have goosebumps all over my body when I think about it. We are the ones who are ashamed to be in your company, okay?"
"..."
Xu Ran's face darkened as he looked at the shouting clone? Is this really his own clone? Does mocking your true body give you a sense of accomplishment?
I didn't expect that one day I would be ridiculed by my own clone. The key is that what they said seemed to make sense.
Thinking about how I looked on the day I met Xiaoqi, I felt that my behavior was a little abnormal, which was so shameful.
Could it be that he had been poisoned by Xiaoqi from that day on? That's why he infected his clone?
No, no, no, I probably can’t be a mere control!
Xu Ran looked at his tool clone and said angrily: "Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
The three tool clones heard the words, looked at each other, and saw the undisguised joy in each other's eyes. Then they looked at Xu Ran and said in unison: "We are going to teach Xiao Qi."
Xu Ran's face darkened and he refused decisively, saying: "Impossible, don't forget, you are just tools!"
"Huh?" The three tool men showed threatening smiles.
Seeing this, Xu Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Only one day per month!"
