Chapter 226: You're Just Repeating Everything I Say! Baton
The moment the Jealousy Mask activated, a strange sensation instantly enveloped Lu Ce's entire body.
It felt similar to when he used Greed Overload—the mask turned into a liquid and merged with his face.
But this time, there was a slight difference. The Jealousy Mask didn’t just merge—it completely sunk in!
It was like it went directly into his body and started reconstructing him from the inside out.
Not only did it perfectly alter his facial features, but even his body began to change to match the target.
The only issue was his clothes, but luckily, his Illusion Cloak could freely change its appearance!
And it was even higher quality.
With this combo, no one would be able to tell the difference!
This seemingly useless epic weapon finally proved its worth.
“You...” Prison Guard No.1 froze, his brain short-circuited as he stared in a daze.On the other side, Prison Guard No.2 wore a similar expression. His face twisted into a scowl as he stared at Guard No.1.
“Kid, where the h*ll did you come from? You’ve got some tricks, huh? Looks like you're gunning for the express lane to hell.”
Not to be outdone, Prison Guard No.2 glared at his counterpart and said coldly:
“You’re good at flipping the script, huh?”
“But you’re right. Since you're asking for death, even if you turn into me, you’re still asking for it.”
The real guard let out a cold laugh, shaking his head and twisting his wrists.
“All bark, no bite...”
“If you’re so eager to die... I don’t mind giving you a hand.”
“Impersonating me? That’s a capital offense.”
Watching the tense exchange, the five beasts nearby were completely dumbfounded.
They were used to being tortured every day, just trying to survive—where had they ever seen something like this?
So that freaky newcomer... actually had this kind of ability?!
The prisoners shrank back like beaten quails, wanting to watch but too afraid to look directly.
Their eyes darted between the two faces, unable to tell who was who.
Even the spectators watching Lu Ce’s gameplay couldn’t figure it out.
【: Wait, I missed it—when did he switch?】
【: My Sin Bro got a new power again?】
But they were puzzled. Even if that guy could transform into a guard, wasn’t it just appearance?
Based on earlier fights, didn't the guard overpower him easily?
So if they fought again, wouldn’t it be the same result?
Just as they were wondering, the two lunged at each other like tanks, charging head-on!
In the blink of an eye, they collided—fists crashing with a thunderous boom.
Though it was just flesh-on-flesh, a shockwave seemed to burst out from the impact!
They broke apart instantly, both stumbling back several steps—seemed like it was a draw.
Lu Ce thought, As expected!
His punch carried full strength, but when he was previously restrained, he’d instantly weaken and lose power.
So all he needed was one clean hit and a quick retreat!
Of course, Lu Ce's face remained unreadable. He looked up in shock and said:
“You... after turning into me, you can even copy my strength?!”
“...?” The real guard had just opened his mouth when Lu Ce cut him off, leaving him with his breath caught in his chest. He scowled and said:
“You’re... saying what I was going to say...”
Lu Ce ignored him completely. His expression twisted with the same rage, and he stepped forward.
“Oh right. Disguising yourself as me counts as lying too, doesn’t it?”
“So if I kill you now, it’s completely justified.”
That line was a total gamble! Lu Ce didn’t actually know the guard’s killing mechanism.
But he was watching the prisoners out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing their unchanged expressions, he knew he’d guessed right!
Among them, Yellow-Hair, who had a somewhat working brain, lit up at those words.
Based on how he spoke, this guy felt more like the real one.
Thinking he saw an opportunity, he quickly raised his hand and said:
“Sir, I’ve got an idea!”
“We’ve been around each other for a while, I know you well! We could each say something only you and I would know. That way, we can tell who’s lying. Only the real one would know the answer, and we’ll judge!”
He thought he came up with a genius plan and proudly offered it up.
What he didn’t expect were two pairs of vicious eyes snapping toward him.
“You think it’s your turn to talk?!”
Both of them said it almost in unison, their deadly aura making Yellow-Hair's knees go weak.
Lu Ce looked darkly at the real guard.
“You’ve gotten to the point where you can predict how I talk, too?”
“You!...”
The real guard kept getting his lines stolen, trembling with rage as he gripped the iron bars beside him, jaw clenched tight.
You’re saying all my lines!
He’d been lawless in here for so long, but this was the first time he’d ever been so wrongly accused!
Me? Wronged?!
Lu Ce didn’t bother responding. He slowly walked up to Yellow-Hair, looked down at him, and pointed at the other guard.
“You. Go take care of him.”
“Huh?” Yellow-Hair's jaw dropped. “Me?”
Lu Ce didn’t waste a second. He slapped toward him—Yellow-Hair dodged fast, but the wind pressure alone made his face tremble.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
Yellow-Hair's legs were shaking. He thought this guy might be the real one, but he wasn’t sure!
And even if he was, how could he possibly beat either one of them?!
Looking up, he saw the other guard staring at him coldly too.
“You. Beat that fake to death.”
“Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one? Come on—pick one.”
Somehow, the two of them were actually on the same page at this moment!
Yellow-Hair was totally lost. His legs were shaking so hard it looked like he peed himself. He started backing away in a panic.
“Five... four...” Lu Ce, now fully in character, began a countdown.
“Wait! No, I...” Yellow-Hair was completely terrified.
“Sigh, you just missed your last chance.” With that, “Guard” Lu Ce pulled a baton from behind his back.
“You think you’re clever? Coming up with tricks? Didn’t you notice—my baton—this guy couldn’t copy that.”
“Are you blind?”
Guard: ?
