From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Sword light cut down, and Hasegawa Tom's body twisted along the direction of the sword light, and finally dissipated into invisibility.

Seeing this scene,

Lu Heng's eyes flashed fiercely as he recognized it as some kind of Clone Technique.

Moreover, this Hasegawa Tom had been a clone from the beginning, not the actual person.

If that was the case, where the real Hasegawa Tom was, nobody knew.

From this, it was clear that the person was extremely cautious.

The reason for this caution was easy to understand with a bit of thought.

Sato Ichiro, with Soul Capturing Monster, had come to Da Xia, and not only had he died, but the Soul Capturing Monster was lost as well.

In terms of strength, Sato Ichiro was not weak at all; he already possessed the Source Material of a Second Transition Class "Soul Reaper," definitely a top level Superpower User.

Such a high-level Superpower User had died, so Hasegawa Tom was clearly aware of how dangerous the mission target was; the safest approach was naturally to use a clone to probe.

Now the only question was, what was this Clone Skill?

Lu Heng carefully recalled some details from when he had met Hasegawa Tom.

When they first met, the initial impression Hasegawa Tom gave was that of someone who might have OCD; his clothes and hairstyle were meticulously symmetrical.

Initially, Lu Heng thought he had a symmetry obsession, but now reflecting back, it might not be OCD.

Aside from the symmetrical clothes and hairstyle, there was also the fact that he used his left hand when drinking tea.

Normally, seeing someone using their left hand, one would assume the person was left-handed.

Lu Heng originally thought so too, but now he understood.

He was not left-handed; it was a Mirror.

His extreme symmetrical attire and hairdo also affirmed this.

His Clone Skill was "Mirror Avatar."

It was an A-level Skill, and the Mirror Avatar released would make mirror image movements opposite to those of the original body.

That is to say,

if the original body picked up a teacup with the right hand, the Mirror Avatar would pick it up with the left hand.

The symmetrical clothing was intended to maintain consistency between the original body and the clone.

"Mirror Avatar" and "Shadow Clone" were two very rare Clone Skills, both A-level.

However, there were differences between the two Skills.

One of the main features was that "Mirror Avatar" could use the original body's Skills, whereas "Shadow Clone" could not.

This was the advantage of "Mirror Avatar," and it was a significant advantage.

However, "Mirror Avatar" also had drawbacks.

That is, the Mirror Avatar mirrored the movements of the original body.

That is, the original body had to constantly control the actions of the clone and could not do anything else.

"Shadow Clone" could not use the original body's Skills, but it could move freely, attacking the target together with the original body during battle.

"Mirror Avatar," since it required the original body for mirror control, meant the original and the Mirror Avatar could not participate in combat simultaneously.

Therefore, "Shadow Clone" was more suitable for Combat Superpower Users, while "Mirror Avatar" was more suitable for Caster Superpower Users and Support System Superpower Users hidden behind the scenes.

Besides this, the appearance of the "Shadow Clone" was the same as the original, and unless the clone's energy was shattered, it was hard to discern it was a clone.

"Mirror Avatar" had a drawback, that being the clone and the original were mirror opposites.

Through this, one could distinguish between the original and the clone.

Of course, Casters could also find ways to compensate for this drawback, like Hasegawa Tom, who obsessively maintained symmetry.

...

Just as Lu Heng had deduced, in a star-rated hotel two kilometers away.

A Superpower User sat on the couch, observing the Energy Mirror in front of him, placing the teacup back on the coffee table with his right hand.

This person was indeed Hasegawa Tom.

In front of him, there was a three-meter-high oval-shaped Energy Mirror.

This was the mirror put forth by the "Mirror Avatar" Skill.

Just now, he had been talking to Lu Heng through this mirror.

All the actions made by the Mirror Avatar were controlled by him, including the action of holding the teacup.

Just a few minutes ago, the Energy Mirror was still showing Lu Heng's form.

Until Lu Heng brought out a long sword from thin air, cut down the identity, and the image in the mirror also vanished with it.

Hasegawa Tom picked up a cigar from the coffee table, used cigar scissors to clip off both ends, lit it, took a couple of draws, exhaled smoke, and let the whole room fill with swirling clouds.

After the recent remote confrontation, he confirmed one thing.

Sato Ichiro had not died in vain.

Because Lu Heng was the first person to break free from the control of "Commanding Will" in just three seconds.

Moreover, he could tell, Lu Heng initially did not resist, probably wanting to understand his purpose, so when he was searching Lu Heng by controlling him, Lu Heng did not resist the control.

It was only when he asked about the location of the Soul Capturing Monster that he broke free instantly.

This time the target was far trickier than he had anticipated.

...

Two kilometers away.

In the tea house of the International Trade Building.

In the lobby, Lin Zeyu was sitting in the sofa area, watching the tea master brew tea, the tea master dressed in a cheongsam, her movements full of grace.

Lin Zeyu nodded and swayed, a look of appreciation on his face.

When Lu Heng came out of the tea room, he saw this guy joking with the tea master, completely unaware of what had just happened.

"How did it go? How was the talk?" Lin Zeyu quickly approached Lu Heng to ask.

"Not very well."

"What exactly does 'not very well' mean?"
