0185 - Chaos Anomaly.

The doppelganger stopped a few feet away from Lu Sheng, who was now ready to run. It looked him up and down, its smile slowly fading. Then, without warning, it dropped to its knees, and it raised the cane with both hands as an offering.

Lu Sheng blinked in surprise. "Uh… what?"

The clone remained kneeling, its head bowed low, offering the Cane back to Lu Sheng as if in submission. It didn't say anything, but the gesture was clear—it was surrendering.

"Okay, this is weird," Lu Sheng muttered to himself, cautiously inching forward. "Like, really weird. System, what is going on?"

[I am as surprised as you. But those other clones of chaos were saying some things about this guy, like he was some... anomaly. A deviation even in their eyes.]

Lu Sheng took a hesitant step forward, still eyeing the clone warily. "An anomaly, huh? That's not exactly comforting."
