Chapter 43 The Mystery of the Mirror Image

After confirming that the other person was wearing the same clothes as himself, Jack's eyes were once again locked on the mysterious figure squatting behind the door.

At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a dream.

This person... even his socks were exactly the same as his, but the other person couldn't have intentionally imitated him!

Is this just a coincidence?

Jack stared at the squatting person who had been silent all the time in disbelief. No, this couldn't be just a coincidence.

His throat moved and he said, "Come out, I've seen you."

The squatting person didn't respond at all.

The situation in front of him was too weird. Looking at the person behind the door, Jack felt suffocated.

"Come out!" He shouted again.

The other person still didn't respond.

In desperation, he strode over, clenched one hand into a fist, and suddenly opened the bedroom door with the other hand, exposing the squatting person completely to his sight.

This was indeed a man, squatting with his hands on his knees, wearing exactly the same clothes as himself.

Even if the other person didn't look up, Jack was sure that this person was probably a replica of himself.

He didn't get closer, but took a step back, staring at the squatting "self" vigilantly.

"Can you hear me?" Jack asked.

After a few seconds, the squatting person slowly raised his head, his eyes were empty, and seemed to have no focus.

Jack focused all his attention on his face, and sure enough, he looked exactly like himself!

Then the man loosened his hands around his knees and slowly stood up, but his facial expression was stiff and indifferent, as if he didn't see Jack, and walked straight to the living room.

Jack watched him silently until the man disappeared from the bedroom and the footsteps outside the living room soon stopped.

Since the man stood up in front of him, Jack had an illusion of looking in the mirror. Except that the other person's movements were a little stiff, he felt as if it was himself.

There was no movement outside the living room.

After a while, Jack also slowly walked to the door of the bedroom and glanced at the living room.

The other self who walked into the living room did not disappear, but sat on the sofa, staring blankly ahead, doing nothing, like a puppet who had lost consciousness.

Jack stopped talking and just stared at the side of the man's face.

He seemed to understand a little in his heart. Did he trigger the characteristics of the fake Alen that he had absorbed before when absorbing the blood pupil sculpture? Because his current experience was exactly the same as Alen's experience at the beginning.

He thought that this situation would not occur after absorbing the characteristics of the fake Alen, but now it seems that something unexpected has happened.

And Jack didn't know whether this copy of himself would always exist, or because of some side effects, it would disappear in a certain way in the future after appearing now.

At least now, this person seemed to have no threat except being like a puppet.

The most important thing is that after this person appeared, he did not start to be in a trance or behave abnormally like the real Alen.

Perhaps this is the difference between active and passive.

Alen encountered this replica and was copied, which was a passive situation. And he actively absorbed the characteristics, and then a replica appeared because of a certain "side effect", which was produced because of activeness.

The difference is that the original body is unlikely to be affected by the other party, while the replica Jack is very slow.

But then again, his profile is still pretty good, like an aged wine that becomes more fragrant the more you taste it.

After secretly admiring it for a while, Jack returned to the bedroom.

He came to the workbench, picked up the fake Alen and the blood pupil sculptures, and looked at them carefully for a while. He found that the black shadows in the sculptures were intact, and the only change was that the characteristics had disappeared.

Jack turned and walked to the living room, glancing at the man sitting on the sofa.

The guy opened his lips slightly, motionless, and felt like he was about to drool in the next second.

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

"Jack, open the door."

It sounded like Lily!

Then he saw a figure swaying outside the window next to the living room door, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was at home through the window.

Jack was startled. The window was covered with window paper, and he couldn't see inside from the outside, but he couldn't let Lily see another self now.

He glanced at the man sitting on the sofa, who still looked like a puppet.

Jack did not respond to Lily, but quickly walked to the bedroom, picked up the phone, and immediately turned it to silent mode.

Not long after the phone was turned on, the screen lit up and displayed "Officer Lily is calling."

He took the phone and did not answer it. He walked to the living room quietly, his eyes fixed on the other self who was still sitting still.

It would be best to let this guy hide first. Jack looked around, ready to find a place in the house where he could hide.

He pulled up the sitting self, pulled him up, and pushed him into the bedroom.

In the process, Jack finally saw the saliva in the guy's mouth fall down, hit the ground with a thud, and then he was pushed into the bedroom.

When he turned back to the living room, the phone had been in the call state for nearly a minute, and then he finally hung up.

Lily's voice came from outside the door: "Is he home? He didn't answer the phone."

The voice of the young man Dave replied: "Maybe something has happened, maybe he went out, do you want to wait a little longer?"

After this sentence, there was no movement outside the door.

After a while, the lock of the living room door suddenly rang, as if a key had been inserted into the keyhole.

Jack was startled, and heard Zhao Wenbo said: "Sister Jing, do you want to go in directly?"

The sound in the keyhole stopped, and Lily replied: "That guy came back from Rainy's house. Now he doesn't answer the door or the phone. What if he is possessed by the missing scalp again? We must go in and take a look. Besides, our special case investigation team has the power to enter any private area without the owner's consent."

In Jack's impression, he remembered that he had heard Lily say the same thing before. Obviously, this is Lily's classic catchphrase.

But from this, it seems that this woman wants to force her way into the house because she is worried about her own safety.

For someone who has done this kind of thing many times, even though the lock of his own door has been changed, Jack has no doubt about her ability to unlock the door.

He quickly turned around and prepared to go into the bedroom to hide the other self, but when he looked around, he found that the bedroom was empty.

The guy who was just pushed in by him disappeared without a trace.

He didn't know whether he was hiding or disappeared. Jack didn't have time to think about it. The door lock behind him began to twist again and made a click.

Then he heard Lily say: "The door was locked from the inside, but I opened it."

The implication is that there may have been someone in the room all the time.

Although the other party also had good intentions, Jack's heart was still in his throat. He suddenly threw himself on the bed, motionless, pretending to be asleep, and stuffed his mobile phone under the pillow.

The next second, the door was opened, and Lily and Dave walked in one after another.
