Chapter 45 Bodyguard

Walking on the street, he checked the time and found that it was almost two o'clock.

As he walked, he reached out and touched his face. Now he still looked like he had changed his face, and no one could recognize him.

But there were almost no people walking on the street at this moment. If he kept walking on the street, he would be questioned by the patrol police.

Especially under the premise that someone nearby had reported a crime.

Although Jack was not worried that Harry would say that he had met him tonight, after all, to Harry, he was just a stranger.

But if he was noticed by the police on the street now, it would not end well.

He stopped a night taxi on the street, sat in the back seat, and casually reported an address.

The taxi quickly left the area.

Not long after, after getting off at the destination in the city, Jack continued to walk forward for a while.

When he saw another taxi, he waved his hand to stop, then sat in the back seat again and reported an address again.

This time, when he arrived in the north of the city, Jack got off the bus at a busy night market, wandered around for a while, bought a black baseball cap and a light gray sports short-sleeved shirt, and found a public place to change into them.

After getting out, he took the third taxi again and reported the address of another community about 500 meters away from Chang Community.

After all this trouble, it was almost four o'clock in the morning when he got off the bus.

The parking place was at the other end of the street of Jincheng Building, and he would not pass by Jincheng Building. Jack did not stop, lowered the brim of his hat, and quickly turned into Chang Community.

Although there might be cameras on the roadside that could have photographed him, it had been nearly two hours since the police were called, and he came back from the opposite direction and changed his clothes, so the police officer's suspicion of him had been reduced to the lowest level.

 

After entering the community, Jack went straight back to the third floor, took out the key and carefully inserted it into the lock, slowly turned the door open, and closed it after entering.

He did not turn on the light, but walked towards his bedroom quietly. When passing Clare's bedroom, Jack frowned slightly, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

He looked sideways and was shocked to find that there was a person sitting on the edge of Clare's bed!

This was an adult man, not a child.

Because the dim sleeping light was on at the head of Clare's bedroom, Jack was able to find the abnormality at a glance.

After being shocked, he was worried about Clare's safety and rushed over quickly, while clenching his right fist.

But just when he approached the bedroom door, Jack stopped suddenly.

With his eyes wide open, he stared at the man sitting on the bed who didn't even look at him.

This person is...himself! The self who suddenly appeared and disappeared last time.

Originally, after disappearing last time, Jack thought it was just an adverse reaction to the fake Alen characteristics he absorbed at that time, similar to a side effect, appearing and disappearing, and may never appear again from now on.

But he didn't expect that this guy would appear again, and when he was not at home.

Jack No. 2 in front of him, like last time, still seemed to be unable to escape ZZ's definition of him. His eyes were scattered and unfocused. He just sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there.

Look at Clare again, sleeping on her side, her little face slightly red, the corners of her mouth raised, as if she was dreaming, and she didn't look uncomfortable.

The scene in the bedroom gave Jack a strange feeling. It looked very quiet, but there was a sense of weirdness in the silent atmosphere.

Jack cast his eyes on another self again. This guy was sitting on the edge of the bed like a daze, reaching out his hand and holding Clare's little arm.

Jack took two steps back and stopped standing at the door of Clare's bedroom. He was afraid that if Clare suddenly woke up later and suddenly saw his strange appearance, she might be scared.

He reached out and touched his face. It was still the same after the face change, but at this moment, there was another self in front of him.

A guy who didn't know what he was replaced the real self.

At this moment, a thought popped into Jack's mind, and he suddenly realized something.

Identity loss?

Is what he is experiencing now considered as identity loss after face replacement?

Because his face cannot be changed back for the time being, and another identical self has appeared in this world, replacing his life.

Then for his original self, in a sense, his identity has been lost at this moment.

If his face cannot be restored, and Jack No. 2 does not disappear again, his identity will be replaced by another unknown creature like himself.

This is a fact, and no one can change it.

If Clare suddenly wakes up now, after seeing this scene, she will definitely identify with Jack No. 2, not a guy with a strange face, rough skin, and a low voice.

Jack took a few steps back again until he stood in the middle of the living room. He silently stared at No. 2 who didn't say a word and seemed not to see him.

Now he is not sure whether this other self will attack people for no reason, or whether he will hide an extremely dark heart under that ZZ appearance.

After all, this guy suddenly disappeared last time, and he didn't have much contact with him.

But Jack still remembered that No. 2 couldn't speak, and it seemed that he couldn't hear him talking. He was in a daze at all times, just like now.

After a little thought, Jack gave up the idea of ​​driving No. 2 away just now, pulled a wooden stool over, and sat down in the middle of the living room so that he could always observe the other party's movements.

Now the situation is very strange, but if the other party is not in danger, this situation is beneficial to Jack.

Think about it, this will be a perfect proof of his absence!

Well, if this guy will appear every time he changes his face in the future and is completely harmless.

It is now past four in the morning. Jack previously activated the potential skill face change at past eleven in the evening. According to the description of the potential skill, the face change lasts for at least 8 hours.

During this period of time, he was in a state of identity loss.

"Identity loss?"

Jack smiled bitterly and looked at No. 2 sitting next to Clare's bed in the bedroom.

"Could it be that this latent skill can detect that I am changing my face, and also know that this guy who absorbs the characteristics from Alen can appear in my territory and replace my life? Otherwise, how can it know that I have lost my identity?"

Could it be that the characteristics of two different anomalies are connected?

The more I think about it, the bigger the mystery seems to be.

Because he needs to see the other self in the bedroom, and it is inconvenient to wake Clare up and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Jack just stares at the other person.

After a while, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the saved files [Alen], [Blood Eyes] and [Face Skin].

While paying attention to the movements of No. 2 in the bedroom, he created a fourth file [Wardrobe] according to the format of the three files in the mobile phone.
