Hai Ming's face was full of self-reproach.

He hadn't even added Tail as a friend, nor had he gotten her real-world contact information.

With Tail's death, where was he going to find such a cute young lady?

Hearing Hai Ming's inexplicable words, Fang Yue and Liao Mo Ran exchanged a look.

Liao Mo Ran, being the more straightforward of the two, immediately questioned Hai Ming, "Hai Ming! What do you mean by what you just said? What's the connection between this woman's transformation and the previous corpses?"

Fang Yue, on the other hand, was more cautious. He silently took a few steps back, putting some distance between himself and the other two. Just then, he received a message from Tail.

"Brother Night! Something's wrong! I can't get out! I'm trapped in the Water Curtain Room! The water curtain door is like it's made of cement. I can't break through it no matter what!"

"Don't enter the Water Curtain Room! Don't enter the Water Curtain Room! Don't enter the Water Curtain Room!"

Don't go in?

Fang Yue subconsciously looked towards the Water Curtain Room, and his pupils instantly shrank.

The previously impenetrable water curtain now clearly reflected the scene inside.

It was a girl, frantically hitting and slamming against the water curtain, but she couldn't break through it, anxiously trapped inside the room!

And this girl was none other than Tail! She looked exactly the same as the Tail on the ground, the one with a serious chest wound, on the verge of death!

Which one was real?

Which one was fake?

After only a moment of thought, Fang Yue made his decision.

*Zheng* – he drew his blade.

Amidst Liao Mo Ran's stifled gasp and retreat, Hai Ming's angry roar, and the terrified scream of the Tail on the ground,

Fang Yue slashed his blade at Tail's head.

The cracked Cold Moon Blade was still sharp.

With a Force stat of over 200 points, coupled with the Cold Moon Blade, it effortlessly shattered Tail's head, cleaving it in two.

As Tail's corpse twitched, red and white matter splattered everywhere.

Fang Yue's gaze, however, was fixed on the Water Curtain Room!

Then... Fang Yue saw the Tail behind the water curtain door suddenly freeze, then abruptly look up at him in horror, as if asking why he would do such a thing.

Immediately after, a thin line appeared on Tail's forehead.

The thin line instantly expanded, cutting open the upper part of Tail's head – just like Fang Yue's earlier slash, cleaving open the head of the Tail on the ground.

In Fang Yue's stunned expression, the Tail behind the water curtain door collapsed, a pool of blood spreading beneath her.

"How could this be..."

Fang Yue was dumbfounded.

I killed the Tail on the ground, and as a result, the real Tail behind the water curtain door also suffered the same injury, and was killed by my attack?!

"Ah, ahhhh! Ahhhhh!!"

Liao Mo Ran, having witnessed the scene behind the water curtain door, screamed, the high-pitched sound echoing throughout the hall.

Hai Ming, only now noticing the abnormality behind the water curtain door, was also stunned.

The corpses of two Tails lay on the ground, their actions mirroring each other, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

"What's going on, what's going on! Captain Night killed the Tail goddess outside, and then there's another Tail goddess behind the water curtain door, and she also strangely died in sync!

What exactly is going on? Could it be that the Tail goddess outside is actually a future timeline Tail goddess, while the one inside is a past timeline Tail goddess, and Captain Night killing the future Tail goddess caused the past one to die as well?"

Hai Ming half-knelt on the ground, muttering incomprehensible words, making things even more confusing.

But soon, Fang Yue calmed down from the shock, and frowned, "That's not right! Tail isn't dead!"

"What?!"

"How is that possible! I saw you kill her with my own eyes!"

The two of them questioned in unison.

Fang Yue spread his hands towards Hai Ming, "Liao Mo Ran might not understand, but you should, because... she's still online."

"Wh..."

Hai Ming was stunned for a moment. This was truly... irrefutable evidence that no one could deny.

The only problem was... he didn't have Tail as a friend.

This was awkward.

"Uh... she's really online?"

"What else could it be? I sent her a message, and she told us to think of a way to open the water curtain door from the outside."

The two of them seemed to be speaking in a language that Liao Mo Ran couldn't understand at all. She didn't understand why Hai Ming was indignant one second and then naturally accepted the fact that Tail was still alive the next, even though Tail had clearly died right before their eyes!!

Hai Ming, however, ignored Liao Mo Ran and said, "Then, then I'll go into the Water Curtain Room to see her!"

As Hai Ming was about to walk towards the Water Curtain Room, Fang Yue suddenly grabbed his arm.

"I have no objection to you going in, but you have to tell me first, what did you mean by 'corpses' when the fake Tail died just now?"

"Corpses... uh..."

Hai Ming hesitated for a moment, and seeing Fang Yue's unfriendly expression, he quickly explained everything about the two corpses outside the bronze door to Fang Yue.

"The features of those two corpses are very similar to mine and Tail's?"

Fang Yue frowned, not quite believing it.

He had personally examined the corpses. No matter how he looked at it, the height, body shape, and skeletal features of the corpses were completely unlike his own!

But now Hai Ming was saying this...

Just as Fang Yue was pondering, Hai Ming had already rushed into the Water Curtain Room with a whoosh.

Unlike the inside, where one couldn't get out, there was no obstacle to entering the Water Curtain Room from the outside.

But strangely, after Hai Ming entered the Water Curtain Room, the view from the outside was still the scene of Tail's corpse from before. Hai Ming's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, he received a message from Hai Ming shortly after.

"Holy crap! The Tail goddess is really still alive! She's glaring at me! That's great! This time I'm definitely going to add her as a friend... Damn it, I was instantly rejected!"

Fang Yue rolled his eyes, ignoring the message, and instead bent down to examine the fake Tail's corpse on the ground.

The fake Tail's corpse was no different from the real Tail, as if she had walked out of a mirror.

If it weren't for the player's friend system, allowing them to confirm each other's situation, even Fang Yue would have been fooled. Not to mention the native NPCs, if they saw this scene, they would be tricked every time!

In a sense, they players were cheating.

After slashing the corpse's limbs a few more times with the Cold Moon Blade, deep enough to see the bone, Fang Yue stood up, rubbed his chin, and sent a message to Tail.

"Is it safe on your side? If there's no problem, I'll go back to the bronze room first. I have something to deal with. I'll help you find a way to open the water curtain door later."

"Brother Night, feel free to go. It's safe here. The room isn't big, it just has a bunch of empty boxes. Also, that guy who came in earlier has already told me about the situation outside. I also want to know what's going on with those two corpses."

"That's good."

As he got up and was about to leave with Liao Mo Ran, he saw that Liao Mo Ran had hidden behind a pillar at some point, peeking out at Fang Yue.

At this moment, Fang Yue seemed to be a mentally unstable, perverted murderer in her eyes.
