“Hmm? Are you sure you’re Zhang Yuanyan?” Tang Susu tilted her head.
The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately shouted in fear, “Let go of me first, girl. Why are you so strong?”
“Alright then.” Tang Susu let go, but in the next instance, she appeared ten meters away and blocked his way again.
“Trying to run?”
The man’s expression completely changed. “Why are you doing this?”
“Master Zhang, feeling guilty about something? If you weren’t him, why would you run?” Eighth smiled as he looked at the display on his communicator.
Tang Susu obviously thought so too and continued to look at him with an “innocent” expression.
The middle-aged man said nothing and was about to look for an opportunity to run again when the girl who had grabbed him took out a piece of paper.
“What are the ‘three main materials’ of construction? Steel, cement, and wood.”
Zhang Yuanyan’s body trembled. “This…Why do you have this?!”
“You are not Zhang Yuanyan.” Tang Susu looked at him and suddenly said with certainty.
“Huh?” Eighth was confused.
“Why else would you run?”
The middle-aged man froze for a moment and smiled. “That’s right. How could you mistake me for Uncle Zhang? We don’t look the same at all. You must have never seen him in person, so you misunderstood! It’s fine. Uncle Zhang is probably still outside. He will be back soon.”
Eighth looked at Tang Susu while Tang Susu continued to look at the middle-aged man. “Your superpower is the ability to disguise yourself?”
“Wha… What?”
“Darn it! I finally understand! I was wondering how he could escape so fast. We thought he could turn invisible or teleport!”
“Not that 1 think about it. Isn’t disguising a form of invisibility, too? To be more precise, it’s the ability to change one’s physical appearance!” Eighth knew more than Tang Susu and accurately described the characteristics of Zhang Yuanyan’s ability.
Just like the face-changing technique in Sichuan opera, he could change into someone else’s face in an instant!
“So you impersonated Master Zhang and used his name to swindle others?” Eighth’s face darkened. He felt an indescribable anger. “Where did you take Master Zhang?!”
Tang Susu watched quietly. From the moment they were speculating about him, the middle-aged man’s face had lowered.
It was a little strange that he said nothing.
“Who sent you here?!” Eighth suddenly shouted. “Is it fun to toy with us and waste our time?”
“Hehe, I don’t care what you think. You’re the one who found the wrong person and you still want to blame it on me. However, the person you are looking for is already dead.” The middle-aged man pursed his lips. “Since you now know you’ve found the wrong person, hurry and leave!”
“You are Zhang Yuanyan.” the young woman suddenly said.
The middle-aged man was about to stomp his feet. “What is wrong with you, young lady? Did you lose a screw in your head?”
Eighth was also stunned. He had never seen Tang Susu act so foolishly. Was it a slip of the mind?
Tang Susu’s long eyelashes drooped slightly as if she were deep in thought. However, it was so quick that they didn’t even feel that she really took the time to consider anything.
She looked over with a burning gaze. “This Zhang Yuanyan is not the Zhang Yuanyan we’re looking for. The one who wrote this paper and promised another the favor is Zhang Yuanyan. The one who built the bunker for Ji County and set up the maze for Khamba District is Zhang Yuanyan. The one who likes fame and fortune and frequently takes part in competitions, awards, lectures, and news interviews is also Zhang Yuanyan.”
It was very easy to distinguish between two people whose personalities, actions, and preferences were almost completely opposite.
“Two Zhang Yuanyans, one real and one fake!”
The middle-aged man trembled and looked at her in shock. “So, who’s the real one?”
“He used your name, and you used his appearance.”
“What, what?” Eighth was completely confused. What kind of trick was this? This was not something that he was good at!
The middle-aged man’s reaction confirmed Tang Susu’s suspicion.
Of course, the reason Tang Susu had such a big leap in logic was because this was a game. The plots in games were often exaggerated and melodramatic.
However, she wasn’t too interested in these plots, so it took her some time to figure out who the real Zhang Yuanyan was.
“If I’m not wrong, the reason you’re running away is that you killed the other Zhang Yuanyan.”
Before she could even finish her sentence, Eighth rushed forward like a hen protecting its chicks from the eagle and stood in front of her. “You’re a murderer!”
“Yeah, I killed him before the apocalypse. So, are you going to hold me responsible now?” The middle-aged man let out a dispassionate smile. “I suppose this will be a good chance to visit the prison. Let’s see if I can design a prison with zero percent chance of escape..”
