Defeating a Robber

"That is much easier than I thought..."

Without even blinking his eyes, Simon found himself in two places. He was staring back at himself as he stared back at the same time. Somehow, it felt quite natural to him. The feeling of being in two bodies and breathing and moving independently of each body was rather easy for him.

It was as if he was both bodies, not one man controlling both.

At this point, he noticed that both bodies were not exactly like his body on Earth. His body was slim but rather fit, he now had his messy snow white hair, his crimson contact lenses which for some reason, he could no longer take off now.

"The contacts are stuck!" Simon projected his voice out loud as he tried to carefully remove the lenses.

[They are not stuck.]

"They definitely are, I can't even rub this makeup off. My skin looks so pale... was I in a musical?"

[You were in a musical. You died from being shot in the head by a pistol loaded with blank rounds]

"..." Simon looked at nowhere in particular, his face deadpan.

"That still does not explain why I can't clean off all of this."

[We detected multiple cosmetic products on the host. Except for clothing and jewellery, all other things have been merged with the host's principal avatar.]

"..."

"So this is... natural?" Simon had an expression of anticipation on his face, waiting for the system to confirm his cosmetic situation.

[Yes]

"Haha… here I was thinking I would have to never sleep with my eyes closed ever again! My pores would be absolutely destroyed if I couldn't remove the makeup, this is an absolute win!" Simon immediately became cheerful again, not even caring that he was practically a different person to what he was before.

"Rock, paper, scissors!" The two Simon's immediately faced off against each other in a quick match. They both just wanted to test the extent of their independence.

'This is unreal! I can see what I am doing from both bodies… how am I supposed to win?'

For the next few minutes, Simon tried to win a game of 'rock, paper, scissors', but to no avail. It was like playing against himself, except he was working on both ends like two different people. Yet, he knew what the other body was doing at all times.

"Wow, this is great! I feel like if I can win against myself, I could be the god of this game!" Simon's bodies both said simultaneously.

[Perhaps you could. However, the system must warn the host that both of your clones are being watched by a hostile entity]

""Hmmmph! Someone trying to sneak up on both of me? Let's see how he goes against my powerful ultimate move…"

[The host has no ultimate moves]

'Oh shut up!'

Approaching the Simons was a brute of a man, clothed in a black cloak and armed with a knife. He eyed the Simons, who was wearing quite outlandish clothes. There was visible greed in his eyes.

"Alright, kids, hand over your money and I might just let you go!" With his knife pointed in their general direction, the cloaked man walked forward in the open. As far as he was concerned, these two up young men were only at the 1st layer of Qi Condensation Realm. Why would he be scared?

"Pfft! There are two of us and only one of you. Why would we be scared of just one small time bandit?" The two Simon's laughed in unison.

"You brats!" The robber's teeth clenched down as his eyes furrowed and his muscles flexed. His knife laid firmly in his hands, still pointing towards Simon's two bodies.

'I can probably sell their clothes for a decent price… even their hair can be used for wigs.' The robber began walking forward again.

"You can't catch us if you're already dead!" The Simons' taunts did not stop, they continually goaded the robber further, hoping for him to make a move quickly.

"YOU BETTER HOPE I-"

CRACK

As the man leapt towards the two Simons, he felt a blinding pain from his lower body. It was as if an egg cracked twice over. His eggs had been cracked twice over… he had lost it all. The robber was a man no more. With a tear coming down from his eye, he fell to the ground.

STAB

He fell on his own knife.

"Curses…"

"WHOA!"

The voices amplified louder as two more clones appeared out of thin air. Their strengths were also much more potent than before. Their bodies and their blood seemed much more robust, bursting with energy.

"There are four of me now! Haha… who said you need friends? All I need is myself." They all scoffed loudly while stomping on top of the robber's corpse.
