Acheron withdrew her hand.
She looked up at the Divine Foresight, which was rapidly approaching.
She smiled and asked:
"Well then, may I know your true name?"
"Baiming. The 'Bai' from white, and the 'Ming' from calling out."
"I see, Little Sister Baiming."
"..."
'Acheron' opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was actually not a girl.
But looking at herself, she didn't even have a body anymore, and she didn't know if she would ever have a body of her own again.
If she were to object now, it wouldn't feel very convincing.
This system is bad in this regard—no explanations.
She would wait until her lifespan was sufficient, draw the Ruan Mei card, and mold a physical body for herself.
Seeing 'Acheron's tacit acceptance,
Acheron felt a rare sense of joy.
She hadn't cared about being impersonated from the very beginning.
If anything, she was quite impressed that someone could imitate her to such an extent.
Moreover, the person did good deeds and left her name behind.
Of course, one thing at a time.
The power of Nihility should not be misused.
Regarding this, Acheron felt it was necessary to make the imitator clearly aware of the gravity of the matter.
That was why she had appeared here.
And,
Acheron didn't know how to even describe the person before her.
She heard that a few days ago on the Herta Space Station, there were many comical incidents due to someone impersonating Madam Herta.
She presumed that was also her doing.
She heard that the fake Madam Herta upgraded the Space Station, personally created the first Curio for collection, and clearly divided the Space Station's functions.
And then ran away when the original came looking.
What was she trying to achieve?
Acheron was very puzzled, so she asked:
"Speaking of which, I'm curious about one more thing: what are you doing all this for?"
"Heh~" 'Acheron' laughed. The way she laughed even momentarily dazed the original. "Just think of it as me being bored."
'Acheron' casually made up an excuse. She had tried before when impersonating Great Herta. Although she couldn't compare to Ruan Mei, creating a flesh-and-blood body wasn't difficult for Herta. But in the end, after Baiming tried to possess it, he found he couldn't pause his life countdown. That part was manageable. More importantly, there was never that sense of perfect synergy; it was always like using a character card, always separated by a layer. So, at least for now, with a lifespan of only a hundred-something hours, he couldn't escape the path of survival provided by the Impersonation System. As for the lifespan issue, once his lifespan exceeded a hundred or even a thousand years, it wouldn't matter anymore. After all, an ordinary Xianzhou person could only live a few hundred years. When he randomly got Ruan Mei in the future, he could try to research a physical body that matched him. Then, when he accumulated enough lifespan, he could use it whenever he wanted.
"..." Acheron saw that the other party wasn't planning on telling the truth, her eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't press further. So, she changed the subject: "Where are you planning to go next? Staying on the Luofu?"
"I had originally planned to, but with you strolling over so openly, it feels strange for me to stay here. Why, do you have any ideas?" With the means of the Xianzhou Alliance, it shouldn't be difficult to confirm one thing: that the Acheron who saved the Luofu was the impostor, and the one who came later was the real Acheron. This was actually quite awkward. On the one hand, the Luofu would certainly favor its benefactor. But on the other hand, the Xianzhou Alliance couldn't publicly call a deer a horse. Furthermore, the real Acheron was frighteningly strong. So, it would be better to just leave. It would also save the Luofu the trouble. This was 'Acheron's own thought, but she didn't know why the real Acheron would suddenly bring this up. She looked at the original in confusion, feeling that she must have an idea if she asked.
Acheron heard this and also smiled: "I watched your duel with that Xianzhou person. You're learning the Xianzhou's sword styles and attempting to create a new blade technique, correct?" She hadn't been hiding and watching for nothing. What this imitator wanted to do could not escape her eyes. Although she didn't understand why, she didn't mind helping out. As long as it didn't involve Nihility, Acheron was very easy to talk to. Moreover, this was the "little sister" she had just recognized with her blade.
'Acheron' nodded at her words: "Yes."
"Since you don't plan to stay long, why don't you follow me for the next period of time? I can teach you as well." Acheron actively extended the invitation. She believed that, on the one hand, it was necessary for her to spend some time ensuring Baiming truly took her advice to heart. On the other hand, she also really wanted to seize this opportunity to properly exchange blade techniques with her other self.
However, 'Acheron' instinctively felt a sense of foreboding. She just felt that if she followed Acheron, she would be beaten up. Her instincts were telling her this.
At the same time, the numbers on the system panel also jumped:
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Acheron)]
[Lifespan: 136:59:53 (Paused) + 24 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 12.2%), Acheron]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (81.6%)]
But the jumping progress bar made 'Acheron' a little reluctant to refuse.
Just as 'Acheron' was still hesitating, General Teng Xiao, piloting the Divine Foresight and accompanied by Jingliu, arrived at the now-quiet battlefield.
"Acheron… er, Benefactor! Are you alright!" Jingliu's voice rang out on the quiet planet.
Then, the Divine Foresight brought them forward, dispelling the smoke and debris, and found the two standing face-to-face, safe and sound.
Jingliu was very anxious, rushing toward the two like a gust of wind. However, just before throwing herself forward, Jingliu stopped. Darn it. She seemed unable to tell them apart either... Who was the benefactor who saved the Luofu?
Just as Jingliu was caught in a dilemma, 'Acheron' smiled and raised her left hand. Her finger pointed to the silver ring on her middle finger. Jingliu carefully scrutinized the left hands of both women. She finally confirmed the difference in the silver-white ring on 'Acheron's left hand and recognized her benefactor.
"Are you alright?" Jingliu quickly walked up to 'Acheron', examining her disheveled appearance. Judging by her gaze, she was seconds away from stripping off the clothes for a check-up.
And Teng Xiao's voice came from behind: "Both of you, if you have anything to discuss, why not come to the General's Residence for a chat? Let the Luofu fulfill its duty as host."
Hearing this, 'Acheron' turned to look at the original, who shook her head and said: "If she and I appear on the Luofu together, I fear there will be no end to the rumors."
"Such rumors are minor matters, but it would be a good thing if the two of you could sit down and have a thorough talk to dispel any misunderstandings." Teng Xiao smiled amiably, all the while subtly trying to gauge the situation.
'Acheron' smiled at his words and explained under Jingliu's worried gaze: "Thank you for your concern, General. But no need to worry. I've resolved some misunderstandings with Miss Acheron herself. What just happened was merely a friendly spar."
"..." Teng Xiao's eyelids twitched when he heard that. That was a 'friendly spar'? Then what would an unfriendly spar look like...
