The distance from this market to his home is not far, about a ten-minute walk.
Wade quickened his pace slightly, a faint, expectant smile playing on his lips.
Today is the birthday of his twin daughters.
He wanted to cook a lavish dinner himself to give his two daughters birthday wishes.
His wife would surely be very happy.
Let him think about how he should prepare... That's it! Let's start with his hands and feet.
First, he chopped off the limbs of his two daughters, then cooked them and forced his wife to eat them, thus creating the atmosphere.
Then, he personally took to the ground and, in front of his wife, began to devour the remains of his two daughters.
During this time, he would feed his daughters some medicine to try to prolong their survival time and let his wife hear their screams more often... What kind of expression would his wife show after everything was done?
I'm so excited... No, I can't think about it anymore. Wade felt like his brain was about to explode with excitement.
After forcibly suppressing the urge to grin wildly to both sides of his mouth, Wade, filled with anticipation, sped up his pace once more.
He's not a psychopath who would harm his own family.
The real Wade was already eaten by him—yes, he was a C-level cannibalistic player who loved playing the "reverse" game.
A week ago, he chose the Wade family as his playthings.
He first ate Wade, then inherited some of Wade's memories through his genetic traits, and then impersonated Wade to put on an act.
He's been acting for a week now, and he's been patient for a week.
Today is his daughters' birthday, and also a happy day for him to reap the rewards of his reversal game.
Along the way, many neighbors greeted Weide.
Wade responded politely to each question, his attitude both gentle and friendly, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
However, Wade soon realized something was wrong—the neighbors' gazes weren't on him, but rather on...behind him!?
Wade turned around and saw a man who looked exactly like him, smiling and interacting with his neighbors, as if... this guy was the real Wade!
wrong!
Didn't two identical people cause fear in other people?
Wade quickly discovered why no one was surprised—no one could see him or hear him speak, as if he didn't exist at all.
Just as Wade was about to get angry, the "Wade" behind him suddenly sped up and got home before him.
"Damn...!"
Wade quickly chased after him.
When he got home, he saw his wife and two daughters chatting and laughing with "Wade," a harmonious family scene. The wife was gentle, the husband was mild-mannered, and the daughters were well-behaved and lovely.
"???"
Wade stood there, stunned.
This guy... is taking his place!
"Who are you?! How dare you impersonate me...!?"
Wade threw down the live chicken he was holding, strode into the living room, and shouted a question.
However, neither his wife nor his daughters responded to his voice.
They couldn't see his figure or hear his voice; their attention was entirely on the imposter.
Damn it...! How dare they steal his prey!?
Wade instantly flew into a rage, deciding to stop pretending and attacking the imposter on the sofa.
Suddenly, he realized that his strength had diminished considerably, and he could no longer use his props. The punches he landed on the imposter were barely even a tickle... No, at this moment, he was probably as insignificant as a speck of dust to the imposter.
"My power...!? How could this be? How could this be... I..."
Wade... no, he's Aziz.
Aziz was gripped by immense fear.
He sensed it: his original identity, the family he had stolen, his existence, his destiny... everything he had was being plundered by that imposter!
He felt his consciousness growing weaker and weaker...
Bang!
Aziz suddenly exploded, turning into scattered specks of light and disappearing into the living room.
At this moment, Fan Xiao stood up from the sofa and walked outside.
After he left, a third Wade appeared at the doorway, next to the live chicken that had been thrown to the ground.
Wade picked up the chicken from the ground and headed towards the kitchen.
A flood of memories surged through his mind, which he processed rapidly—he had witnessed Wade's life from the perspectives of his wife and two daughters, and learned what kind of person Wade was in the eyes of outsiders.
These are... memories from his wife and three daughters, memories inherited by Aziz.
At that moment, the two daughters opened the kitchen door and came in, gathering around Wade.
"Daddy, Daddy, the chicks are so cute, can... can I have a chicken leg?"
"Dad, I want to eat a chicken leg too."
The two little ones were bickering.
Wade's lips curled into a smile, and he said, "Great! There are two legs on the chicken, so you can each have one."
"What about you and Mom, Dad? How about... my sister and I share one, and you and Mom share one, okay?"
"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."
Wade smiled kindly.
……
"This world needs a lot of lies."
Inside a station in Pompeii, Fan Xiao watched the train approaching from afar and murmured a sigh.
Through the portal to the Fairy Tale Kingdom and with a lucky lock on his landing spot, he was directly teleported to Pompeii in Zone 002.
Then, he activated "Shield of Substitute Life," taking over the fate of a C-level cannibal player, and activated "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" to create a flesh and blood life form, granting the other party a lifespan of nearly a hundred years, and cleaning up the mess left behind by the cannibal player.
Next, he will be living under the fate of this cannibalistic player to avoid being plotted against in the dark—his current self-fate is hidden by the item, which is equivalent to his non-existence. Any means of detection against him will definitely be hindered unless they are special or advanced enough.
The key is to be cautious!
Although he had confirmed beforehand that the saintess's disappearance had nothing to do with Dr. Zhuang, it still involved Dr. Zhuang and an S-class item... He still had some doubts about the results he had obtained through his luck.
After all, he hasn't yet become strong enough to reach the peak level in a short time, and there are still forces that can influence him.
So he kept his guard up.
Whether this tactic works or not, doing it is definitely better than doing nothing.
Soon, the train arrived at the station.
Between the integrated zones, there are trains that transport ordinary people between the two zones.
Fan Xiao boarded such a train and soon arrived in Roman City, Division 001.
He didn't contact Sakura to pick him up, but instead asked for directions through Lucky and found her himself.
At this moment, Sakura was moving quickly through the shadow space on the street. In front of her, there stood a luxurious mansion, and she seemed to be preparing to sneak in and explore.
Fan Xiao blocked her way and said, "Come out."
"..."
Sakura did not respond.
She's in the shadows, how could anyone see her?
Just as she was thinking this, Fan Xiao seemed to have lost patience. He raised his hand and opened a spatial portal, connecting the real world and the shadow space, allowing her figure to be directly revealed.
This is the effect of "the stars shifting and the constellations changing".
As a super A-grade item capable of directly opening a spatial portal between two world partitions, locking onto the shadow space derived from a mere B-grade item and opening a portal to connect there couldn't be simpler.
"Who are you……!?"
The next second, Sakura teleported out of the shadow space and into reality. She instinctively retreated a distance and communicated with the A-grade item that Fan Xiao had given her not long ago, preparing for battle.
This was the first time she had been dragged out of the shadows... She admitted she was a little scared!
By this time, enough "winds of nothingness" had begun to blow around.
Fan Xiao laughed and said, "It hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten your boss?"
"You're Fan Xiao...?" Ying remained vigilant. "How can you prove it?"
At this time, Fan Xiao had not actually changed his appearance.
However, because he is currently inhabiting someone else's destiny, those who see him will be influenced by the concept of fate and will not recognize his original identity—his original self is equivalent to temporarily not existing in fate.
Although the "Shield of Substitute Fate's" ability to seize another's fate is only a secondary function, not its signature feature, it is still a top-tier item, and ordinary players cannot see through this disguise of fate.
“Proof…” Fan Xiao grinned and said, “Haven’t you noticed yet? I’m simulating this right now, and you’ve unconsciously activated your ability, Sakura.”
"...!!"
Sakura seemed to have PTSD, and took several steps back.
She quickly realized that she had used the future simulation not long ago to find the saintess's whereabouts, but... nothing came of it.
Her ability has a long cooldown period and cannot be used again in a short time. Yes, her first thought was not to suspect that the other party was lying, but to examine herself and check whether she had really activated her ability unintentionally.
All I can say is that the simulation of Fan left her with a huge psychological scar!
"I'm currently using someone else's destiny as a precaution," Fan Xiao explained. "It's normal that you don't recognize me."
"..."
Sakura silently took out a black paper doll and then summoned a werewolf using a summoning item, giving it commands.
The next second, she and the werewolf tore the paper apart and summoned a copy of Fan Xiao.
Yan Keke sensed something and opened the dungeon door... After the verification was completed, Ying nodded: "Boss."
"...Where did you all learn this from?" Fan Xiao said speechlessly, "How did you all become so sneaky?"
Sakura said coldly, "I heard from Xi Ning and the others that you, boss, are already invincible. Even an invincible person is still cautiously operating under someone else's identity..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.
Fan Xiao didn't pay attention.
He was just venting and didn't care about the details, only correcting one sentence: "It's pseudo-invincible, not truly invincible."
Then he asked, "Are you going to investigate that mansion? Have you found a lead?"
"No, I'm just trying my luck." Sakura gently shook her head and said, "I'm going to look for any place the Holy Maiden has been. Some places are difficult to investigate, so I can only sneak in."
"Infiltration... You've been playing infiltration in real life, so it seems you've already done a simulation?" Fan Xiao asked.
“We simulated it, but we couldn’t find anyone,” Sakura replied.
"What a waste of opportunity. Why didn't you just tell me about finding someone?" Fan Xiao sighed. "I'll help you find someone, and you can leave your abilities and opportunities to me. Isn't that better?"
"..."
Oh no, this guy really is treating his ability as a backup... Sakura had some complaints in her heart, but she couldn't say them out loud.
Does she not even have the right to freely control her own abilities?
"Fan Xiao, I'm warning you, don't go too far..." Ying silently warned in her heart.
It wasn't that she was scared; it was mainly because the other party was her boss, and she had to show him a certain level of respect.
Fan Xiao then said, "I have investigated the Saintess's current condition. She is in a state that is both dangerous and not dangerous."
"...What state is this?"
Ying paused for a moment, suspecting that Fan Xiao was playing the riddle-maker again.
Fan Xiao speculated, "I'm not too sure about the specifics, but... based on my guess, she probably went into a dungeon."
