Chapter 23 Two-Face Action
On June 6, at dusk, the rooftop of an abandoned teaching building of Beijing No. 19 Middle School.

As the sun sets in the west, the solar panel in the corner of the rooftop casts a bulky shadow on the ground, and the rusty metal support is crumbling.

After a while, a figure slowly emerged from the shadow. It was a young man in a white shirt and jeans.

Ke Xiaomo leaned against the railing, looking down at the entire school without moving. His eyes moved from the playground to the school gate, from the infirmary to each teaching building. Whether it was the students chatting and laughing in the corridor of the teaching building or the figures running on the playground, he could see them all.

In just a few seconds, his eyes were fixed on a figure in the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building.

The figure, carrying a schoolbag and playing with his mobile phone, walked out slowly from the bathroom, walked quickly to the corridor entrance, and then went down the stairs, seeming to be in a hurry.

Ke Xiaomo's lowered eyes followed him all the time, never leaving his sight.

Ke Mingye was seen walking out of the teaching building, heading towards the school gate, and then boarding a bus at a nearby stop.

Ke Xiaomo remembered the appearance and license plate number of the bus, and then his body seemed to melt and turned into a pool of ink, falling into the shadow under his feet with a "splash".

Soon, the rooftop of the abandoned teaching building returned to silence. It seemed as if no one had ever been there, and under the setting sun it looked like a slowly rotting orange peel.

At this moment, on bus No. 07 on Line 09 around Beijing.

Ke Mingye stood in an inconspicuous corner holding the hanging ring and scratched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. The smell of mothballs and disinfectant mixed together was very unpleasant.

It was rush hour, the carriage was extremely crowded, and from time to time it shook violently, causing him to bump into the sweaty man next to him. The noisy short video sound, the hum of the bus engine, and the voice of a woman scolding her child were all mixed together, making it hard to breathe.

He sighed softly and lowered his eyes to look at his phone.

On WeChat, Ke Youqing finally responded to his message, sent him 500 yuan to buy a cake for Ke Xiaomo, told him to save the rest of the money, and then never replied again.

"How stingy! The salary you get from the Super Hero Association every year can at least buy you two houses in the Beijing area, right?" Ke Mingye secretly complained in his heart.

Although he was dissatisfied, his finger still very honestly clicked the payment button. In fact, Ke Mingye didn't need these few hundred dollars. After all, the five thousand dollars he won on the dark web last night was a huge sum of money for a high school student.

However, the sudden increase in money can easily arouse suspicion, so you should ask your parents to reimburse you when it is time. This is like an ordinary high school student.

Ke Mingye put away his cell phone, put his left hand into his coat pocket, held the hanging ring with his right hand, and turned his head to look at the rumbling and shaking car window.

Although the passing scenery outside the window was reflected in his pupils, at this moment, his attention was focused on another picture in his mind - the trickster puppet could share vision and hearing with the player. Therefore, whatever it heard or saw was transmitted to Ke Mingye's mind synchronously.

This experience is very disjointed, like a schizophrenic patient playing an FPS game and a MOBA game in two open windows at the same time. It is normal that he can't take care of both, but he still tries his best to adapt to the tearing feeling of controlling two bodies at the same time.

As time went by, the anxiety I felt on the bus was alleviated.

After Ke Mingye controlled the puppet to leave the school, he ordered it to walk towards the tobacco business street. It was only now that he realized that he had made a mistake. He should have at least put two coins in the puppet's school uniform pocket before separating, so that it could get on the bus.

However, controlling the puppet to walk did more or less serve as an adaptation, which was not too bad.

He put on headphones on the bus, closed his eyes and rested, while concentrating on controlling the movements of the puppet.

First, he asked the puppet to look at its face in front of a glass display cabinet in a clothing store and made a few expressions to check the fluency. After becoming proficient, there was basically no sense of disobedience, and the operation could even be accurate to the puppet's micro-expressions.

Ke Mingye took advantage of this time to check other things, and finally confirmed that the deception puppet could use skills, props, and equipment, but could not use other functions of the panel.

The puppet's three attributes are also exactly the same as the player's attributes, which means that although it is helpless, it has inherited Ke Mingye's weak body.

Apart from this, the biggest difference between this doll and the player himself may be "weight".

The puppet is much lighter than a normal person, so if you don't control the strength, it can jump to a height of three or four meters with a random jump. It is as light as a balloon.

If there is a possibility of being exposed in front of other players, then there is definitely a problem at this point.

But Ke Mingye also thought about explaining to other players that the reason why his body is so light is because he learned a "passive skill" that can reduce weight on the skill sales page, or maybe this body itself is a superhuman race with a natural ability to be light...

Generally speaking, they wouldn't confirm it in such detail.

But thinking from another perspective, the puppet's light weight also brings a relative advantage, which means that it can do something that Ke Mingye cannot do at present: use the spider web launcher to shoot out spider silk, then grab the spider silk and swing in the sky, moving at high speed above the city like Spider-Man.

Ke Mingye couldn't do it because his physical fitness was not good enough and his strength was not enough to bear his weight; but the puppet was different, although its strength was the same as Ke Mingye's, its weight was much lower, so it was possible for it to do this.

After getting ready, you just need to control the puppet to walk to Yandai Commercial Street. That place is not far from Huanjing No. 3 Middle School, and it only takes half an hour to walk there.

On the bus, Ke Mingye opened the system panel again, looked at some of the introductory items in the settings, and once again confirmed the rules that were relatively important to him:

——Players cannot see each other's game panels, so there is no need to worry that the trickster puppet will reveal itself when they use the panel to confirm their identity;
——Players can only read the identities of superhumans.

——If it is not a summoned creature with self-awareness, but a summoned creature completely controlled by the player, it can enter the dungeon as a unit on behalf of the player. This situation is mostly used to test the situation inside the dungeon.

——The same dungeon can only be challenged once a day; if you die in the dungeon, the player will not die, but will be reborn outside the dungeon.

——Some copies take place in real scenes, while some copies will involve players in an alien space.

——When the instance is over, all players who participated in the instance will appear in a nearby location “confirmed not to be monitored.”
