Chapter 2754: Awakening at the Same Time
Zheng Qing opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep.
After a dreamless night, he felt refreshed and energetic.
He reached out and touched the smooth black gemstone on the pillow.
A wave of strange yet familiar memories rushed into his mind like a flood. This is what his clone, the black gem cat, experienced last night.
When he first started to accept the memories of his clones, he was not used to it. The strange and familiar fragments that appeared in his mind always made him feel like it was difficult to distinguish between reality and reality, and he felt schizophrenic. But after a few times, the black gem cat's memory and his memory were able to be seamlessly connected. On the one hand, because these are all his memories, there is no essential difference; on the other hand, it is also because the black gem cat has a limited range of activities and extremely limited experience. Every day, he is either playing with the white jade cat on the cat fruit tree or under the cat fruit tree. There is almost no more content to tease the white jade cat.
And how many complex memories can the interaction between two cats create?
When he woke up today and touched the black gem, Zheng Qing thought it was no different from the previous days. He wondered whether the two cats were playing on the tree or under the tree last night.
But after the turbulent memories poured in, he sat up suddenly, subconsciously opened the curtain, and looked out the window, as if he wanted to confirm whether there was still a furry cat cake face stuck on the glass of the balcony window.
But what caught his eyes was the slightly bright sky outside the window.
It was early summer, and the sky was dawning early. Although the sun had not yet risen, the light had already been released. In addition to the chirping of birds, one could vaguely hear the sounds of young wizards doing their morning lessons.
"Having a nightmare?"
Xiao Xiao, who had also just gotten up, immediately noticed the unusual movement on Zheng Qing's bed and asked in a low voice. The snoring in Fatty Xin's tent also paused slightly.
"No, no, I just...remembered something else."
Zheng Qing agreed vaguely, lowered his eyelids, and carefully recalled every word his husband said to him last night. The black gem in his hand turned into a cat again under his rubbing.
Although the black gem cat will not feel tired as long as there is sufficient supply of magic power, it still complained a little after being forcibly awakened and looked at Zheng Qing complainingly:
"——Why did you wake me up so early in the morning? You slept all night, but I just closed my eyes!"
"Where did you get the eyes from a piece of stone!" Zheng Qing couldn't help but complain, and then changed the topic: "I want to ask last night...wait, what's going on with you!"
He reacted belatedly and suddenly reacted. He looked at the black gem cat licking its paws, looking as if it had seen a ghost. The black gem cat in his hand seemed to have turned into a piece of red coal, which was so hot that he suddenly stopped his hand.
The black gem cat rolled twice in mid-air and landed on his lap in a slightly embarrassed state.
"What's going on?"
The black gem cat frowned, raised his paw, patted the boy's knee, and said in a reproachful tone: "I have told you so many times, as the head of the family, you have to be steady, steady, still steady, and you have to give more... Great elves, please set an example...don't just make a fuss when something happens. I just had a chat with my husband last night, so it's worth making such a fuss!"
Zheng Qing stretched out his finger and poked the black gem cat's head.
It is as hard as ever, and a layer of inconspicuous magic ripples rises where the fingertips touch it, which fully proves that it is indeed the stone that I have been messing with for a long time.
"What are you doing!" The black gem cat flattened its ears and looked at the boy alertly.
"You," after saying one word, Zheng Qing stopped, thought for a moment, and then spoke again, tentatively asking: "...do you feel anything is wrong?"
The black gem cat blinked, lowered his head and looked around at himself.
"Where?" It raised its head blankly.
That stupid look made Zheng Qing feel like he was looking in the mirror.
"Why are you talking now!" He finally lost his composure and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you become the living clone after I fell asleep? What's going on now!"
Originally, he didn't want to ask so directly.
Because there are many taboos of one kind or another in transformation magic - for example, when a spiritual beast takes shape for the first time, if passers-by question its identity, its transformation will fail - Zheng Qing doesn't know that he I didn't want to ask my doubts directly whether the Black Jewel Cat's current situation fell into the category of 'asking for words'.
But it seems that if he hadn't asked, the idiot probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual all day long.
really.
After hearing the wizard's question, the black gem cat was stunned for a few seconds, and a hint of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face: "Yes! You are awake now! Why can I speak? Wait... If I were you, who are you? ? Which one of us is real? If I am not you, who am I?"
It sat cross-legged on Zheng Qing's lap like a living person, raising its two paws in front of its eyes, its tone was a bit panicked, and it looked like it was even more unacceptable than Zheng Qing.
This left Zheng Qing speechless.
"What's up?"
Xiao Xiao obviously noticed something unusual here.
The black gem cat said nothing and stared blankly at its paws, looking like its brain was overloaded. Zheng Qing shook his head and explained the situation in front of him in a few words.
"That is to say,"
The fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team concluded: "You, the black gem cat, are usually just an ordinary cat. You can only 'wake up' after you fall asleep and act as your clone... But now, it will wake up when you are awake..." It's 'awakened', and then you two can't tell whose consciousness is dominating its consciousness now?"
One person and one cat nodded repeatedly.
The movements were unusually coordinated.
"Do you share vision now?" Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, looking a little curious: "What about thinking? Is there any interference with each other?"
Zheng Qing and the black gem cat looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"Apart from it starting to talk, are there any other abnormalities?" Xiao Xiao looked at Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing looked up and down at the black gem cat, and finally pointed at its forehead: "There is an extra leaf on its forehead... At first I thought it was grass debris from outside, but it didn't rub off, then I thought about it..."
He paused.
Because he recognized this feather-like leaf as a leaf of the Kai tree, it should be the leaf that the master used to "suppress" him and the yellow cat last night.
Thinking of this, is it possible that the abnormality of the black gem cat is because of seeing the master yesterday?
"What leaf? On my head?"
The black gem cat has come back to its senses, holding its head with its claws, stretching its neck to look for a mirror everywhere.
"Kai tree leaf." Zheng Qing reminded concisely.
The black cat's movements suddenly slowed down, and it seemed to know the origin of this leaf. This made Zheng Qing, who was secretly observing, feel a little relieved. At least the cat knew what the Kai tree leaf meant.
Just as the man and the cat were competing with each other, the fortune teller who forgave the crime also had his own guess: "-Is it possible that this is a phenomenon after the proficiency of the clone transformation technique reaches a certain level? Generally speaking, the main body and the clone can exist at the same time."
"Yes!" Zheng Qing thought.
"That makes sense!" The black gem cat also nodded slightly.
Looking at these two confused guys, Xiao Xiao supported his forehead and gave another suggestion: "This way... Today is Tuesday, and the first class in the morning is divination. Professor Yi also has a high level of attainment in transformation. You can consult him. Or after class, you can go to Lao Yao... Didn't you say that your professor of clone transformation is Lao Yao?"
