Unlike Bai Su who swallows it and becomes his own, which is equivalent to dividing a part of the body to use as a new identity, directly changing from human to non-human, Qiao Jiang's control of human beings is all free-range.
Humans are still humans, she just takes over consciousness.
In this case, what would happen if a human being whose consciousness has not been taken over encounters an accident? will die.
It is normal for Qiao Jiang to turn off a few lights of human consciousness from time to time, but the frequency of turning off the lights has been a bit high recently.
The map that was as bright as the sea of stars dimmed. Qiao Jiang didn't feel angry, nor did he feel sorry for the loss of human life. He just felt that his territory had been invaded.
"Territory?"
"Yes, the territory." Qiao Jiang glanced at Bai Su strangely, "Although there are humans I selected in other places, there are more in this city, and the main venue for activities is still here."
"Theoretically... I should fight you."
The beautiful woman's eyes lost emotion for a moment, but soon she smiled again.
"But our recipes are all different, and fighting is still too troublesome."
Bai Su thought for a moment and nodded.
After they finish fighting, they will have to completely change their city life.
Qiao Jiang continued to talk about the changes in the city. The extinguished lights on her map could not be detected. After all, death was death, and she could not see memories without consciousness.
But the advantage of casting a wide net is that she still has one or two "windows" that are not dead, are still sick, and are hospitalized or not.
And then she saw it—the mud, the attack, the same face.
This is something that is not available in the information given by humans, and it is also something that Bai Su has not seen in his experience.
There was nothing he could do, the mud that attacked him was so tight that he could conjure up clothes, and they hadn't even been painted, let alone his appearance.
"I saw a human walking into a narrow space alone."
Strictly speaking, the location is not limited to outdoors. Semi-open storefronts and the like are also acceptable. The focus is only on single people.
"Black sludge appeared in front of us, and then attacked the humans. A gash was opened on the humans' bodies."
"Then the mud fell to the ground and turned into the appearance of humans themselves in front of humans."
"What do you look like?" A head with long hair popped out of the kitchen. Wang Muying, who had been busy in the kitchen for a while, came out holding a white dog in one hand and a food bowl in the other.
The white dog being held even had a humanized expression on his face, to the effect of: I've been putting it off for so long, why haven't you finished talking yet.
The human girl put down the meal specially prepared for dogs and the white dog, and smiled sheepishly at Bai Su: "Little Bai No. 2 kept pointing at the refrigerator, so I made some food for him."
Bai Su was silent for a few seconds and replied, "It's okay."
Bai Quan is also him. If Bai Quan agrees to open the refrigerator, he agrees, and there is no problem.
Wang Muying then sat down, and the documents on the table in front of the sofa disappeared.
Half was behind Qiao Jiang, and half was under the sofa next to Bai Su's heels.
The human girl's eyes were inquisitive, and she was obviously still curious about the previous topic.
She only heard half of the sentence, so the two non-humans looked at each other, and Qiao Jiang spoke again: "I am a colleague at Baisu's workplace. I was just chatting with him about an interesting phenomenon."
Then Qiao Jiang used packaged euphemisms to tell Wang Muying a story about human beings coming face to face with themselves.
Unexpectedly, the human girl clapped her hands after hearing this and said, "Isn't this a doppelganger!"
Bai Su and Qiao Jiang: "?"
Wang Muying clasped her hands together and said, "It's the urban legend that's been very popular in various online forums recently. It's not a psychological phenomenon."
Seeing that the other two were confused, the human girl couldn't help but take out her mobile phone, click on it a few times to bring up the relevant search page, and put it on the table.
The phone screen was a bit small, but non-human eyesight was excellent, and they all saw what was displayed on the display.
A forum, if you add a prefix attributive, is a supernatural forum, and most of the posts in it discuss some strange rumors.
Normally, all kinds of rumors would be in full bloom, but recently, they have all been wiped out by news of "doppelgangers."
Bai Su: "Urban legend doppelgänger?"
Wang Muying: "Yeah, it is said that if you see another self, you will be killed by that self."
Qiao Jiang: "Ah...this is really..."
Wang Muying: "Huh?"
The human girl made a confused sound. She found that the two people around her were deep in thought on their mobile phones. She was the only one holding the white dog at a loss.
Wang Muying: "What...what happened? Did I say the wrong thing?" Is there anyone here who is afraid of ghosts?
The human girl looked left and right. She felt that Bai Su shouldn't be afraid. After all, she had done weird supernatural live broadcasts before. If she had to be afraid, it would only be the beautiful sister... But judging from her expression, it seemed that he was not afraid. Not like that.
Bai Su thought for a moment and then took out his mobile phone, entered the URL on Wang Muying's mobile phone, named it and registered it. When he verified the mobile phone number, he found that his mobile phone number had already been used.
Has the original human registered?
Bai Su thought about it for a while, and couldn't remember the original human account password. He could only reset a new password through the password retrieval function.
It was already five minutes after he boarded the forum, and the two women next to him were already chatting on the same mobile phone.
The forum's homepage is indeed, as Wang Muying said, full of discussion posts related to doppelgangers.
Bai Su clicked on a few and found that the content of the posts was a little different from what he thought.
All the posts are not from the perspective of the person meeting his doppelgänger face to face, but rather from the perspective of an acquaintance meeting his relatives or friends in different places.
The appearance, personality, and even verbal communication are exactly the same as those of relatives and friends.
Some people didn't take it seriously, and some people were very panicked when they found out afterwards.
As a result, discussion posts appeared. At first, there were only a few people, but later more people shared their own experiences.
Some people also think that it is normal for there to be a few people who look very similar to them in the world, but they are quickly refuted.
——[No matter how similar they are, they can’t even have the same memory habits! ]
——[Besides, my friend was ill at that time. ]
As soon as the statement of illness came out, many people echoed it. When the rest of the people thought about it carefully, they found that although their relatives and friends were not hospitalized, they had some coughs.
There is also a type of post that is more thoughtful and scary. They are discussing the changes in their friends.
Just... Relatives and friends are still relatives and friends in general, but some details of daily life have changed.
——[Is this possible? ]
——[But there are some differences in taste... It’s so strange to suddenly jump from not eating spicy food to being able to eat spicy food! ]
——[Um... maybe your friend conducted special training without you knowing? ]
——[We haven’t seen each other for just a week! ]
... Post replies like this are all over the forum, which is a bit unexpected.
At the same time, a new question arises. What do the special department’s network monitors usually do?
Bai Su, who had a lot of knowledge about the work of special departments, thought about it. They couldn't just watch his live broadcast for their daily work of network monitoring, right? Can't?
In a sense, Baisu actually has the right answer.
An employee in the special department was drowsy in front of his live broadcast room where the screen was black and the anchor was out.
So...doppelgänger?
The missing clues were filled in, and the truth of the incident was revealed.
Although the puzzle of the truth is not complete, at least the framework is out.
When Bai Su put down his phone, two women on the side had already put down their phones, and they started chatting about some topic.
It was obviously the first time they met, but their relationship had become good, and it was good to have a one-sided relationship.
Bai Su's eyes passed over the two of them.
Female friendship? But is Qiao Jiang strictly speaking a woman?
Bai Su thought about it carefully and felt that the answer was not accurate.
"So." Qiao Jiang ended the conversation with Wang Muying, "The matters in the company have been communicated, and I have to leave."
At this moment, she had hooked the human girl's arm, and the head of the white dog caught between them was almost crushed.
Wang Muying was led to look at the time and exclaimed: "I've been sitting here for so long, I have to leave too."
The human girl hurriedly put the white dog on the ground, muttering that she had to go home to cook, and rushed to the door first: "Xiao Bai, I will go home and cook for my grandma first. Come back in the afternoon!"
Bai Su waved his hand twice casually, and Qiao Jiang stood up from the sofa a few beats later.
The beautiful woman took out the half-folded paper that had been pressed behind her and handed it to Bai Su.
"I'll leave it to you to worry about the human side. Well... I'll work hard to complete the mission as soon as possible." She smiled, and the mole at the corner of her eye moved. "After all, I don't have any fighting ability in this capacity."
Bai Su took the paper without comment and glanced at Qiao Jiang.
The next second, the palms woven from white cotton stretched out from both sides and closed toward the middle as if to slap.
But the beautiful woman with waist-length black hair who was standing on the attack route appeared at the door in an instant, and made a crisp snap when her two white palms came together.
Along with the voice, Qiao Jiang glanced upward, lifted the hem of the dress she was wearing, and saluted.
"Goodbye." After saying this, she left the house and caught up with Wang Muying who had reached the stairs with her hands behind her back.
Bai Su is still standing in the house.
The eyeballs that crawled out from the edge of the door frame continued to move forward, while the white catkins floating in the room disappeared.
No fighting ability...tsk.
Bai Su narrowed his eyes.
The human bodies available to "Qiao Jiang" come one after another, and there are endless solutions.
Bai Su crossed his arms and lowered his head. Bai Quan, who had been hugged and fed all morning, yawned at his feet and lazily lay down on the sofa to get ready for sleep.
Bai Su stared at Bai Quan for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted the clone's neck, lifting it in the air.
White Dog: "Woof?"
Bai Su: "I'm going to be busy soon. How can you rest? There's still a lot of work."
Making a sound like a demon, Bai Su held his clone and sat in front of the computer camera.
"Come and catch up." The black-haired young man smiled and held the poodle's reluctant neck. "If we do business together, our income should be higher."
"Income" in all aspects will be higher.
…
Wang Muying hurriedly walked downstairs. As soon as he reached the elevator entrance and pressed the down button, he heard footsteps behind him.
She glanced back and saw that it was the beautiful woman she had just met at Bai Su's house.
So Wang Muying waited for a while after the elevator arrived, and held the door for him, waiting for the other person to sit on it before taking back his hand.
The beautiful woman twirled her long hair hanging down from her chest and stood in the corner of the elevator with great interest, observing the human girl from the reflected mirror walls.
In fact, the two of them are quite similar in appearance. They have the same long, straight black hair, but different styles of sideburns and bangs. If you look at their faces, the difference in appearance can be seen at a glance.
Delicacy still couldn't compare with extreme beauty, especially when they got out of the elevator and walked on the road together in the community, everyone's eyes turned to Qiao Jiang.
She was not bothered by the gazes around her at all and walked forward naturally. On the contrary, Wang Muying who was walking with her was slightly affected.
Even though the eyes weren't directed at her, she still felt like she was being noticed.
Too many, too many sights.
The human girl couldn't help but slow down. Just when she was about to leave Qiao Jiang, she was hooked.
It was similar to the two people sitting on the sofa chatting intimately at Baisu's house. A soft arm passed through the other person's arm and surrounded the human girl.
"It's okay." Wang Muying heard someone say in her ear, "I'll do a magic trick for you."
With a snap of fingers, the feeling of being noticed disappeared, and everyone looked away.
Wang Muying turned around blankly and saw that Qiao Jiang had put a beret on himself, which temporarily blocked his face.
But...does this really work?
Judging from the eyes of others who were no longer betting, this was effective, but she felt...
"Shh." A few strands of broken hair brushed against his ears, causing a hint of itch. Qiao Jiang hugged the human girl's arm more tightly, and his black eyes under the brim of his hat took on a red halo.
Wang Muying heard Qiao Jiang ask her: "You seem to like Baisu very much?"
The human girl, who was still rubbing her ears because she felt itchy, blushed: "Is it, is it so obvious?"
Qiao Jiang looked at the human girl's expression and said with a smile, "Yes."
All her judgments are based on daily observations of human beings, and the girl Huaichun's emotions can still be seen.
"Why do you like Baisu?"
"Ah...how do I say this...because of the face." Realizing that Qiao Jiang was just curious, and the impact of the beautiful face was too great, Wang Muying said in a daze, "Control over appearance...but I haven't had that lately. In the mood."
The girl's feelings can only be shown in the most carefree situation. Under the pressure of reality, she has to put away her unnecessary thoughts.
"That's it." Qiao Jiang nodded as if he understood.
When they reached the gate of the community, the beautiful woman and the human girl parted ways. She took two steps towards a deserted place and then stopped. Not long after, a round and rumbling stick protruded from the gap in the power grid on the wall of the community. eyeball.
"Why did you ask her those questions?" asked Bai Su, who once again took advantage of the situation and left the live broadcast room to the clone.
"Because I prefer..." Qiao Jiang suppressed his protracted tone, raised his head, and his dark red eyes met the single eyeball under the beret, "I prefer to observe human beings."
