The two Li Shuyi sat facing each other from afar, seemingly recovering their physical condition.
After a while, one of the Li Shuyi shouted, "Shameless ghost, come at me again!"
"I'm not afraid of you!" The other Li Shuyi jumped up.
Ping, ping, pang, pang, the two started fighting again. Both of them had high agility and exquisite swordsmanship. The battle between the two was like a battle between two technical bosses in the Swordsong Realm. They fought for a long time without a winner.
The real Li Shuyi felt helpless. She originally wanted to use Scarlet Heaven's "Edge Breaker" passive to destroy her opponent's weapon in the process of clashing weapons to prove her identity.
However, she didn't know what weapon the ghost was using, but it wasn't afraid of Scarlet Heaven's "Edge Breaker" passive. Up until now, its weapon hadn't been destroyed.
Similarly, the durability of Li Shuyi's weapon didn't decrease significantly. This meant that the opponent's weapon didn't have Scarlet Heaven's "Edge Breaker" passive either.
It had been seven hours since the encounter between the human and the ghost. The two of them had been fighting for an unknown amount of time.
During the battle, Li Shuyi realized that her single-handed swordsmanship, which had been stagnant all this while, was actually improving at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It seemed that this ghost that imitated her was the perfect sparring partner because it completely copied Li Shuyi's attributes, combat skills, and skills. It was almost like another Li Shuyi sparring with her. This made it easier for Li Shuyi to discover her shortcomings in swordsmanship during the battle.
Li Shuyi was also very talented in swordsmanship. After discovering her shortcomings, she would intentionally correct them. It wasn't surprising that her swordsmanship had improved.
This was also why Li Shuyi kept pestering her opponent and fighting non-stop. If it weren't for the improvement of her single-handed swordsmanship, she could have just stayed put and waited for Bai Xiaowen to come and take charge of the situation and distinguish between the real and the fake.
On the other side, Qiao Rui sat cross-legged on the ground with Han Xu standing not far behind her.
Suddenly, Qiao Rui opened her eyes. There was a trace of shock in her eyes.
"Have you found the captain?" Han Xu asked as he strode forward.
Qiao Rui glanced at Han Xu and then lowered his eyelids without leaving a trace. He concealed his shock and said slowly, "Not yet."
"Alas …" Han Xu sighed and shook his head. "It's not a good idea to just stay here. I'd better go and look for him."
"You can't leave."
Qiao Rui suddenly stood up and stopped Han Xu. The sound attack array had already been set up and was quietly preparing to be activated.
Han Xu's face was filled with astonishment. Even the two Li Shuyi, who were fighting, looked over.
Qiao Rui said faintly, "Old Han … I don't know if you're a human or a ghost. However, I've already seen the captain through the Falcon's Spirit and guided him. Wait here, the captain will be here soon. "
Han Xu frowned and said, "You clearly said at the beginning that you didn't find the captain."
Qiao Rui said, "That's because I didn't want to alert the enemy. Because there's another person beside the captain, you. So, is the Han Xu beside the captain the real one, or are you the real one? I think the possibility of a ghost deceiving the captain is smaller. In other words, I think you're more likely to be a ghost. "
Han Xu said helplessly, "If you're afraid of alerting the enemy, why did you change your words and tell the truth?"
Qiao Rui said, "I was wrong at the beginning. If you're a ghost and have the ability to read minds, then no matter how I try to hide, I'll be useless in front of you. Therefore, I played to my strengths and avoided my weaknesses … I'll use a tough attitude to keep you all here and wait for the captain's judgment! "
Han Xu sat down on the ground helplessly. "Alright, I'll stay here. Anyway, the captain will come and the truth will be revealed. "
Even though Han Xu showed a submissive attitude, Qiao Rui still couldn't let down his guard.
Suddenly, one of the Li Shuyi said, "Sister Qiao, you could also be a fake, right? Besides, you said you found Xiaowen, but how do we know he's the real Xiaowen? "
Qiao Rui said indifferently, "I believe the captain can prove his identity."
The four "people" present, the two Li Shuyi, Han Xu, and Qiao Rui, formed a strange confrontation. No one believed the other.
A sense of defeat welled up in the hearts of the members of the White Phoenix Squad. They would rather face a powerful leader and work together to achieve victory than suspect each other like this. But there was nothing they could do about it.
In this gloomy atmosphere, Bai Xiaowen and Han Xu followed the Falcon Spirit's guidance and found everyone.
"Aiyoyo, everyone is here? Eh, there seems to be a few more? "
When Bai Xiaowen saw the two Li Shuyi and Han Xu, who was not far from Qiao Rui, he was obviously startled.
One of the Li Shuyi ran over. "Xiaowen, this ghost is pretending to be me!"
"Tsk!" The other Li Shuyi swung his sword from behind. "You shameless ghost, you don't deserve to call me Xiaowen!"
Ping, ping, pang, pang, the two started fighting again.
The two Han Xu looked at each other. Their movements were very consistent. They took off their shields and wrenches and stared at each other like two old bulls competing.
"Who can tell me what's going on?" Bai Xiaowen dug his ears.
…
"… That's about it." Qiao Rui told Bai Xiaowen everything that had happened. Finally, he said helplessly, "In other words, you have three tasks now. First, prove that you're you. Second, prove that I'm me. Third, distinguish between the real Li Shuyi and the fake Han Xu. "
"Ghosts can actually infiltrate the team channel?"
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It seems that the team channel also has a priority. The elite team probably doesn't have a high priority. We've never encountered such a situation before. Even in front of a lord like the Dark Concubine, we can still communicate through the team channel. It's probably because it's rare to see a ghost that's good at infiltrating the team channel. "
Qiao Rui said helplessly, "Seeing that you're as relaxed as usual, I almost can't help but believe you. However, this shouldn't be a reason for you to prove yourself. I've discovered that these ghosts can imitate personalities and speech patterns. "
"Okay, okay …"
Bai Xiaowen spread his hands and took out a fragment of the "Host Ghost's Spirit". "I think the reason why two Li Shuyi and Han Xu appeared is because they encountered a 'Host Ghost'. It's because I also encountered a Host Ghost, but I killed it. "
One of the Li Shuyi raised his hand and shouted, "Yeah, I was possessed by something cold. It was very uncomfortable. I couldn't see a shadow even when I turned my head. Later, that thing disappeared on its own, and then this guy appeared. "She pointed at the other Li Shuyi with a face full of anger.
The other Li Shuyi jumped up and shouted, "You evil ghost, always complaining like this. Do you think you can hide it from Xiaowen? Naive! "
Qiao Rui squinted his long and charming eyes and sized up Bai Xiaowen. "Although this thing can increase your persuasiveness, it's not enough to prove your identity."
"Well, I didn't think of using this fragment to prove myself. After all, ghosts can also take out this kind of thing to deceive people," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "Alright, I'll use a method that ghosts can't do to prove myself first."
Bai Xiaowen took out the Whitestone Hill Fief Order.
Follower summon — White Rose Cecilia!
Amid the spatial fluctuations, a one-way portal to another world opened. A few seconds later, a long leg stepped out of the portal, followed by the valiant Whitestone City Lord Cecilia in light armor and holding a large bow.
"Dior, you finally thought of me." Cecilia's eyes had a trace of resentment.
Bai Xiaowen shrunk his head a little awkwardly. "Sorry …"
Cecilia smiled sweetly like a spring breeze that thawed the ice. There was a hint of charm in her valiance. "Well, you don't have to apologize. What kind of enemy are we dealing with this time? "
"Well, it's a group of ghosts. Be careful, they're different from the ghosts of your world. They're demons, "Bai Xiaowen said.
Cecilia instantly became serious. "Understood, I'll protect you."
"Ahem …" Bai Xiaowen tilted his head. "Sister Qiao, I've completed my self-identification, right?"
Even if the ghosts could forge the Whitestone Hill Fief Order, they couldn't create a portal to pull Cecilia from the Cain Plane. This was a follower contract that belonged only to Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia.
Qiao Rui sighed in relief and nodded. "Well, we all believe that you're you. Quickly use Insight on us to prove my identity, and then find the ghost in Shu Yi and Han Xu. "
"No, it seems that Insight isn't reliable here. I've already used Insight on the two Han Xus, and guess what? All I got was Old Han's personal information. "Bai Xiaowen shook his head. He suspected that it had something to do with the so-called Serene White Stone.
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Actually, to prove Sister Qiao's identity, you don't need to use Insight. You can use logical analysis."
"If Sister Qiao is a ghost, would she need to release the spirit of the falcon to lead Old Han and me here?" Bai Xiaowen said, "I don't think that's necessary, because the more people we have in our team, the more likely it is that the ghost will be exposed. Originally, she and Han Xu had gained the trust of the real Shu Yi, but the appearance of me and another Han Xu would destroy this trust. This is something that the ghost doesn't want to see. "
One of the Li Shuyi said, "Although it makes sense logically, it still lacks evidence."
"Well, I have another way, and that is to ask Sister Qiao a secret that both I and she know, and get her to answer," Bai Xiaowen said.
"We've already tried this method before." Qiao Rui shook his head and said, "The ghost has the ability to read minds. It can detect our thoughts, so …"
Bai Xiaowen chuckled and said, "You've already told me about this ability. Actually, this ability isn't difficult to understand, as long as you think of something else when I ask you a question. "
"This … how is this possible?" Cecilia's eyes widened.
Thoughts flashed through a person's mind very quickly, and it was very difficult to control them. The more one tried to control themselves to not think about something, the more their mind would think about it. When asking a question to test someone, the answer to the question would definitely flash through the mind of the questioner — as long as he knew the answer.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "This isn't difficult. Shu Yi, Han Xu, you and the two ghosts walk a hundred steps away and hide behind this rocky hill. "
"Why do we have to hide?" One of the Li Shuyi asked, puzzled.
"Although I can control myself not to think about the answer to the question, the same can't be said for you. If Sister Qiao is a ghost in disguise, she can obtain the answer by reading your thoughts, "Bai Xiaowen said.
The other Li Shuyi mocked and ridiculed, "You shameless ghost, of course you don't understand Xiaowen's thoughts. Just do as you're told!"
"You …" The two Li Shuyi bickered as they walked to the back of the rocky hill.
"Wait." Bai Xiaowen summoned the Butcher, Kitts, and the other summoned creatures. "Cecilia, take the summoned creatures and keep an eye on the four of them. Don't let the ghosts escape when they sense something is wrong."
Cecilia nodded. Bai Xiaowen glanced at the crowd and sneered, "You dare to pretend to be my team member? How dare you! You two little ghosts, don't even think about running away. Just wait to be turned into pieces! "
When the two Li Shuyi and the two Han Xus heard this, the real Li Shuyi and Han Xu naturally felt relieved. Bai Xiaowen also wanted to use this as a warning to see the different reactions of the four "people".
However, the four "people" reacted in unison, so he couldn't see any flaws in their plan.
After they left, Qiao Rui said, "Alright, you can ask your questions now."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled. "Actually, there's no need to ask questions. This is just to reassure the real Old Han and Old Shuyi. As for me, I believe in my own judgment … Well, to be on the safe side, I'll ask a question. Sister Qiao, do you still remember how many points of spiritual energy you gave me when you joined the team? "
Qiao Rui thought for a moment. "I think it was more than four hundred thousand … Hmm, four hundred and twenty thousand."
Bai Xiaowen clapped his hands. "Alright, that's enough."
"Can you really think of other things when you ask questions to avoid the mind-reading ability?" Qiao Rui said, "Then you can do the same and ask Old Han and Old Shuyi alone."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Bai Xiaowen smiled and sent a telepathic message. "Cecilia, bring the four of them here."
The two Han Xus and the two Li Shuyi were brought back, somewhat confused.
Bai Xiaowen coughed. "Sister Qiao has verified your identity. There's no doubt that you're our teammate. Next, it's the four of you … Alright, now listen to my instructions. "
Under Bai Xiaowen's instructions, the four "people" stood facing each other, like the four corners of a square.
"Although ghosts can imitate our skills and equipment's active skills, and can even infiltrate the team's chat channel, ghosts are still ghosts. If they don't join the White Phoenix Team, they can't use the team's skill, Guidance. Guidance is a team skill, not an individual ability, so it can't be copied. "
Bai Xiaowen paused for a moment and pointed at one of the Li Shuyi. "Next, you'll activate the team's skill, Guidance. The target can choose one of the two Han Xus!"
