Chapter 23 Free Hacks

"Who are you?!" Kaxiu widened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the counterfeit in front of him ran towards the corner of the wall in an instant. Five seconds later, he was locked by Kaxiu's throat with his arm. He was dragged into a corner of the street.

"Hehehe..."

A sound like air leaked from the counterfeit's throat.

"Say! What on earth are you?!" Although Kaxiu controlled the counterfeit, he still had an uncontrollable horror in his heart. He had noticed that his shadow had disappeared!

"Hehehe." The counterfeit responded with only a sneer.

Suddenly, Kaxiu felt that the other self in his hand had become bigger, taller, and stronger. What followed was a violent struggle, and the counterfeit suddenly elbowed back.

It poked Kaxiu's stomach with great force.

Kaxiu groaned, and his eyes were fierce. He tightened his right hand tightly, and the tempered muscles on his arm were as hard as steel bars. His left hand helped to pull, and the two forces were used in one direction.

"Ouch!" The fake's eyes widened immediately, and his two hands gave up the attack, desperately trying to grab the arm that was zipped around his neck.

The nails pierced the skin and sank deeply into Kaxiu's flesh, and blood mixed with raindrops dripped onto the street ground.

"I didn't expect that one day I would kill myself with my own hands!"

Kaxiu exerted force fiercely, and suddenly raised his arm upward. Immediately, the fake's body kicked twice and stopped moving.

Kaxiu was still worried, and slapped him tightly for more than a minute. Make sure that the fake will not wake up again.

"Hu! Hu! Ha..."

In the corner of the alley, a man, a corpse, slumped in the corner. Spider-web-like raindrops fell on the dark hair.

Kaxiu raised his head and looked blankly at the dark gray sky.

He killed someone, and killed another self. Inexplicably, a panic rose in Kaxiu's heart. After a moment, the panic passed, and was replaced by the fierceness in his heart.

His current situation is not safe. Kaxiu needs fangs and strength to protect himself. Anyone who wants to hurt him will pay a price! No matter if it is a human or a ghost.

As soon as his thoughts were clear, Kaxiu came back to his senses. He quickly looked around. Because of the rain, there was no one on the street.

"We have to deal with the body quickly!"

He lowered his head, but found that the body was melting strangely. It turned into a vague, wriggling black shadow.

With a swish, the shadow returned to Kaxiu.

In an instant, a lot of information flooded into his mind like a flood.

He was parasitized!

In that ancient ruins.

The moment he was forced to lean against the broken stone pillar.

The parasite is a thing called a magic shadow. Where does it come from? Kaxiu doesn't know the principle and reason of parasitism. He only knows that the magic shadow has magical rules and functions.

The magic shadow, as the name suggests, is a monster that lives in the shadow. Every once in a while, the magic shadow will copy the host of the previous day. Whether it is the physical strength, the muscle memory of the training, or even the fighting skills, they will be perfectly imprinted.

The host only has one more day of fighting experience and fighting skills than before. The two sides fought to the death, the host died, and the demon shadow took over the body.

When the demon shadow was killed, the host would get all his fighting skills, experience and memory from the previous day, and even his physical strength.

This is equivalent to doubling all your efforts! It sounds quite wonderful, but once you lose, death will come.

The body, memory, and personality will be replaced by the demon shadow.

The most important point is that the demon shadow is not over after being killed once, it has a total of nine lives. Only by defeating it nine times in a row can you completely get rid of the demon shadow's parasitism. Assuming that your probability of winning the demon shadow every time is one in two, then the probability of winning nine times in a row is one in five hundred.

In fact, this probability will be even lower. Because many people are parasitized by the demon shadow without knowing it, and they are directly killed by a sneak attack when the demon shadow materializes for the first time. The fierceness and cunning of the demon shadow are born more suitable for fighting than most people.

If a parasite wants to get rid of it, on a larger scale, it may be only one in five thousand or even ten thousand people.

This is a despairing probability.

But...

Kaxiu touched the wind ivory pendant with a strange expression.

If he remembered correctly, the external time was still when he entered the retrospective era. And at the moment of returning to reality, the effect of months and years of training would be instantly reflected in the body, just like in the ruins at that time.

So... he is a natural enemy of the magic shadow?

Since the first time the magic shadow materialized, the time of each materialization is fixed. The second materialization was one month later, the third was two months later, and so on.

The total duration is thirty-six months, a total of three years.

For example, the next time Kaxiu faces the magic shadow materialization is at 6 pm on July 4th. He can completely choose a point between 6 pm on July 3rd and 6 pm on July 4th, not too early or too late.

At that time, Kaxiu chose to go back.

In this way, when the magic shadow materializes at 6 pm on July 4th, it will face a completely different Kaxiu, a Kaxiu who has practiced for a few more months and years!

Using the strong to fight the weak, and a shrunken version that is weaker than himself in all aspects, the possibility of the Shadow of Demon even exploding does not exist.

Thinking of this, Kaxiu blinked. Inexplicably, he seemed to have an extra plug-in for free?

Taking a deep breath, Kaxiu became alert again. Just now, he was thinking of a perfect situation, but there are big loopholes in it.

The first is the ability to rewind that has just been awakened. It can absorb the obsession in the legendary antiques and rewind the era. But the ability to rewind consumes obsession energy, one at a time.

The obsession energy in the wind ivory pendant is gone, and Kaxiu must find a new antique containing obsession energy.

Secondly, go back to the memory of the owner of the antique. Kaxiu must complete the obsession of the original owner, otherwise the results cannot be brought back.

In this case, he can only fight the Shadow of Demon with a 50-50 chance of life and death.

The future is not bright, and there are many hidden pits and rocks on the way to climb the mountain. You can't be complacent when you set out.

Heart of a tiger, sniffing roses.

"The wound has healed."

In the rainy alley, Kaxiu glanced at his arm. The scratch marks on it have all healed.

He can even feel that his skin is tougher than before, and his muscle lines are stronger than before.

After moving his body on the spot, Kaxiu suddenly felt that his strength has increased a lot, and his physique has become stronger.

His height also seemed to have jumped up a few centimeters.

Calming down, a steady stream of fighting skills poured into his mind. That was a person who was exactly like him, and he had practiced for six months. Now all the results have been superimposed on Kaxiu.
