Although he felt that Jeremiah's words were questionable, the presence of a strong 'Extreme Cold Aura' within the passage at that moment caused the two brothers, Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang, to feel that Jeremiah was not lying.
Moreover, there was no need for Jeremiah to lie to them.
Thinking of this, the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers exchanged glances and immediately made a decision.
They turned to look at the severely wounded but not entirely incapacitated Jeremiah and said, "Jeremiah, you take the Saintess and leave; we will help you stall the Association's people."
"Mm."
Shuang Hang deactivated the restraints on the Mystic Ice Cage and let Isabel slowly walk out.
However, strangely, Isabel at this moment looked like a delicate, controlled puppet.
Not only were her steps stiff, but her expression was also utterly empty.
Jeremiah paid no attention to this, hoisting her over his shoulder with one hand, and immediately turned toward the emergency escape passage.
One second he was heavily wounded and stumbling, the next he was effortlessly carrying a young girl.
Seeing this scene, the live chat viewers couldn't help but complain.
'A Stellar person's moment of charisma. One second they're heavily wounded and stumbling, the next they're running like the wind with a young girl on their shoulder.'
'"About Me Being Heavily Wounded Yet Easily Carrying a 50kg Girl"'
'100 pounds of cement makes my limbs tremble, 100 pounds of gold... I'm steady as a rock!'
'He's practically a superman.'
Looking at 'Jeremiah', who was about to escape with Isabel, Chen Kong and the others wanted to stop him but were blocked by the ice wall erected by Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang. They could only watch them leave helplessly.
But just as 'Jeremiah' was about to step into the escape passage, a terrifying burst of flame suddenly erupted from the distant passage entrance.
Before long, a tall, thin figure with singed, yellowed hair and a disheveled appearance rushed out of the fire, staggering several steps before regaining his balance.
He patted out the flames on his body. Without even pausing to catch his breath, he suddenly noticed the strange atmosphere around him.
Everyone was staring at him, their eyes filled with shock, as if looking at something incredible.
Seeing this, the second Jeremiah said, utterly confused, "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"That's NO.2 Demon Blade, it's perfectly normal that I couldn't beat her!"
The moment his voice fell, this second Jeremiah suddenly froze.
Because he saw another 'Jeremiah' standing at the entrance of the emergency escape passage in the distance!
That 'Jeremiah' was carrying Isabel. His appearance, height, clothing, and even the Stellar Energy fluctuations around him were identical to his, without any difference.
Forget everyone else, even he himself couldn't tell the difference between that guy and himself.
"What the hell! Who are you!"
Hearing the words of the true Jeremiah, the 'first Jeremiah', who had been severely wounded, instantly straightened his leg, disregarded his injuries, and swiftly bolted toward the escape passage with Isabel in tow.
As he ran, his face began to change rapidly.
Pink hair emerged from beneath his black curly hair, his tall, thin frame gradually shrunk, and his features became delicate and handsome.
A few seconds later, a girl with pink pigtails and a cunning smile on her lips appeared before everyone.
She stood at the emergency passage entrance, Isabel on her shoulder, and waved at everyone, a brilliant smile on her face.
"See you later, everyone."
With those words, Huan Qianying abruptly darted into the emergency passage, completely vanishing without a trace, leaving everyone else in a daze in the wind.
Just as the movie's camera focused on Huan Qianying's vanishing silhouette, the blank space in the passage scene provided information about Huan Qianying.
[Name: Huan Qianying]
[Stellar Ranking: NO.30]
[Stellar Core: Thousand-Faced Spider]
[Effect 1. Appearance Duplication: Touch the target's face for 3 seconds to perfectly duplicate their appearance (lasts 2 hours)]
[Effect 2. Voiceprint Mimicry: Mimic any voice heard once (including Stellar Beast roars)]
[Effect 3. Aura Synchronization: Synchronize the target's Stellar Energy fluctuation frequency (effective on targets below Tier 3)]
[Description: 'God has a thousand faces and one heart, people have a thousand hearts and one face. Changing the face is easy, changing the heart... is hard.' — Huan Qianying]
[Stellar Source: Personality Mask Nuo Opera]
[Effect 1. Memory Reading: Can read fragments of the target's recent memories (requires physical contact for 10 seconds)]
[Effect 2. Personality Sketch: Can quickly sketch the opponent's personality and imitate their persona]
[Special Effect 3. Deep Interpretation: Deeply believe one is the 'imitation target,' such that even oneself cannot see through the disguise, and can use all of the opponent's abilities (maximum power is 50%)]
[Description: 'Using bronze as a mirror, one can adjust their clothes. Using people as a mirror, one can clarify gains and losses. But what if one uses God as a mirror?' — Huan Qianying]
Normally, a basic 'face disguise' could not deceive Tier 3 Star Envoys like Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang.
Because the Star Envoy's face can be altered, but the unique 'Stellar Energy fluctuation' of the Stellar Source is extremely difficult to disguise.
Moreover, there are subtle differences in personality and subconscious behavioral logic between different people. Strangers cannot detect these differences, but familiar people can spot anomalies instantly.
But the combination of Huan Qianying's 'Stellar Core: Thousand-Faced Spider' and 'Stellar Source: Personality Mask' allows her to achieve not only 'changing faces' but also 'changing hearts.'
Therefore, let alone Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang, even Jeremiah himself couldn't immediately tell the difference between this copy and the original.
'Holy crap! Huan Qianying's disguise ability is too outrageous!'
'I didn't even notice just now. That ability is too buggy!'
'Hahahaha Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang must be confused! They thought the real Jeremiah came, but it was an imposter!'
'Why did Huan Qianying save Isabel? When did she defect?'
Amidst the live chat's commentary, the movie's camera briefly shifted, focusing on Tendo at the Maritime Concert Hall - Aurora Aria.
Strangely, Tendo was no longer in the underground space directly beneath the stage but had moved to the top of the concert hall.
[Rooftop of the Maritime Concert Hall - Aurora Aria]
The evening breeze swept across the rooftop, gently lifting the silver-white fringe of Tendo's hair.
He was wearing a black trench coat, the hem fluttering in the wind, revealing the collar of the white shirt underneath.
His delicate features appeared exceptionally sculpted in the moonlight. Below his prominent nose, his thin lips curved slightly, and his azure eyes were like a reflection of the starry sky.
He calmly watched the lively concert below. Pink light signs converged into a sea of stars, and Jing Liuli's melodic singing floated up with the evening breeze, carrying a warm, healing sensation.
Tendo toyed with a ''Crimson Capital Commemorative Silver Coin between his fingers and whispered, "This distance, this timing—it's just right."
The moment his voice fell, Tendo flicked his fingertip lightly.
The next second, the silver coin, which had been in Tendo's hand since the appearance of Shuang Mo Bing, shot out from the direction of the rooftop with a sharp whistling sound and a silver-white trail, slashing across the night sky of the concert.
Looking at the beautiful 'silver-white meteor' above their heads, Jing Liuli's fans below looked up and cried out in surprise, thinking it was a concert special effect.
Tendo stood at the edge of the rooftop, watching the 'meteor' disappear into the night, a hint of a smile in his azure eyes.
A moment later, he raised a hand to adjust the collar of his black trench coat, put his eye mask back on, and turned to leave the rooftop.
"The farce... is over."
