Chapter 312: The Special Use of Mimicry
Chapter 312: The Special Use of Mimicry
"Big Brother, this cash should be more than enough for us!"
Bai Yi didn't delay either, quickly opening the bag he had retrieved from the safe.
Bundle after bundle of banknotes appeared before Lynn's eyes.
A rough estimate.
This guy had brought at least over a hundred thousand.
Lynn stared speechlessly at Bai Yi's earnest face, hesitating as he asked:
"Is all of this your money?"
Bai Yi widened his eyes and said, "Yeah, it's pocket money I saved up over two months by scrimping and saving! Enough for our trip!"
Lynn: "..."
Even though he knew this guy wasn't trying to show off his wealth, these words were still incredibly irritating.Xiao Ling, standing beside Bai Yi, blinked in confusion. "Brother, are you going on a long trip?"
Bai Yi nodded vigorously. "Yeah, we need to go up north. We won't stay here long, we'll be leaving soon."
But then he ran into a problem.
"Big Brother, we have the money, but what about the documents? Everything's real-name registration now, and you're still an undocumented person in this world..."
Lynn smiled slightly, casually taking a shirt Bai Yi handed him and putting it on. "That's simple. Before coming here, I learned some special abilities. They'll come in handy now, though I might have to borrow an identity."
And in the very next moment, Lynn closed his eyes, his fingers slowly curling into a fist.
In an instant, under Bai Yi and Xiao Ling's stunned gazes, Lynn's entire body began to glow with a soft white light.
[Ding! You are using Mimicry on yourself. Do you wish to proceed with the effect immediately?]
"Yes!"
The next moment, as the white light surged.
Like a divine miracle, Lynn's entire body was enveloped in the radiance.
In a flash.
When Bai Yi and Xiao Ling opened their eyes, the handsome young man before them had vanished. In his place stood a little girl with a wise, faint smile on her face—a girl who looked exactly like Xiao Ling.
Bai Yi: "!!!"
Xiao Ling: "!!!"
Lynn spread his arms slightly, smiling faintly. "Well? Can you spot any differences?"
Bai Yi was completely (꒪Д꒪) frozen on the spot.
Xiao Ling stared in shock at the girl before her who was identical to herself, even down to the clothes. Dazedly, almost instinctively, she reached out a hand and poked the cheek of the girl opposite her.
Boing~
It was even more bouncy than her own!
"Eek!"
She instantly retracted her hand, utterly dumbfounded as if she had witnessed a miracle.
"It's exactly the same!" she murmured.
Bai Yi finally snapped out of it, stammering, "Big Brother... what kind of ability is this..."
Lynn smiled faintly. "A certain ability that allows for mimicry."
"Is it Sun Wukong's?"
"No."
"But why can the transformation be so accurate?"
"Do you really want me to say it out loud?"
Of course, it was because during the unavoidable contact earlier, he had already gotten a clear grasp of the general contours and some important details and measurements.
And Bai Yi immediately understood his big brother's intention.
If he possessed a mimicry ability, then all he needed was to take his sister's ID documents, and they could easily pass through any checks!
Bai Yi immediately turned excitedly to his dazed sister. "Xiao Ling, can you lend your ID card to your brother? I'll return it to you in a few days after I fly back!"
Xiao Ling said blankly, "Huh?"
...
Time flew by.
Half an hour later.
One police car after another drove into the residential area where Bai Yi lived, completely surrounding the villa.
Yin Qin, leading dozens of special police officers from the Supernatural Administration, quickly arrived in front of Bai Yi's villa and knocked forcefully on the door.
Her expression was grave.
After the housekeeper opened the door, she immediately showed her credentials, speaking seriously, "Hello! We are investigators. We need to ask you a few questions. Has student Bai Yi returned? Also, have you seen this person?"
She took out a temporarily printed photo of Lynn.
The housekeeper was taken aback. "Uh, the Young Master did indeed return not long ago. He should still be in his bedroom now. As for that person... Young Master Bai Yi said he was his friend and told us not to ask questions."
Hearing this, Yin Qin exchanged a look with Wang Chaobei beside her.
Then she said sternly, "We need them to cooperate with an investigation. Please let us in. Sorry for the trouble."
Yin Qin led the group as they forcefully pushed open the bedroom door, urgently calling out, "Mr. Lynn?!"
But inside the room, aside from a little girl sitting at the desk, there was no trace of Bai Yi or Lynn.
Xiao Ling turned around in confusion, looking at Yin Qin and the others in police uniforms who had suddenly barged in, and instinctively took a step back. "What do you want?"
Yin Qin quickly scanned the bedroom, her brow furrowing. "You're Bai Yi's younger sister, right? I've seen you in the files. Where are your brother and his friend? Your housekeeper said he and his friend returned not long ago. Have you seen them?"
Xiao Ling, holding a lollipop in her hand, dazedly glanced subconsciously out the window, then quickly shook her head, looking innocent. "They went out again."
...
A little over ten minutes later.
Gritting her teeth, Yin Qin abruptly parked the car at the Shanghai airport and rushed into the terminal building with the special police officers.
Her phone rang with a jingle. She immediately answered, "Well? Did you find out?!"
A staff member's voice soon came from the other end of the line.
"We've already checked. There was indeed a ticket purchase record under the name Bai Yi not long ago. I've urgently questioned the staff at the service counter at that time. There was indeed a young man matching the information you provided. However, the person with him wasn't another boy, but a girl named Bai Xiao Ling."
Hearing this, Yin Qin's entire body jolted.
What kind of joke was this?!
Because just over ten minutes ago, she had been with that little girl in the villa downtown.
With such an innocent young girl, she had easily gleaned the specific movements of Bai Yi and the others from her words.
But how could that girl appear at the airport at the same time?!
"Are you sure you didn't mistake her?!" Yin Qin asked urgently.
The staff member's voice came through the phone again.
"Reporting, Officer. We've checked the surveillance footage from that time. The person who purchased the ticket with Mr. Bai Yi was indeed a little girl. If you don't believe it, we have the surveillance footage here. You can come and see for yourself!"
Yin Qin was shaken.
And she almost instantly understood that this was probably some kind of trickery used by Lynn.
For someone from hell, confusing those staff members probably wasn't a difficult task.
"Where are they now?"
"They boarded a flight from Shanghai to the Heilongjiang region in the Northeast. The flight already took off... over ten minutes ago, Sir. Are they fleeing suspects? If so, we can immediately contact people over there to detain them."
Yin Qin looked up, bewildered. "No! That won't be necessary."
They went north.
But why would they go there?
If Lynn was summoned to this world for the first time, what reason would he have to go there?
She murmured to herself, "Half a hometown..."
And during the interrogation of Bai Yi a few days ago, Bai Yi had also told them that his big brother wasn't truly a being from hell, but a person who had fallen into hell. He didn't belong there, but his world was very similar to this Earth...
Could it be...
She suddenly looked up. "Home?"
