Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

For a moment, Xu Tong thought he was seeing things.

Although Xu Tong had made basic preparations, knowing that since there were Mimics in this instance, there would definitely be Mimics disguised as him.

However, Xu Tong really didn't expect this.

This guy would be so brazen, even coming directly to him!

Aren't you even going to try to hide?

The knocking stopped. The Mimic disguised as Xu Tong seemed to have noticed someone observing him through the peephole and then gave a gentle smile.

To be honest, looking at the face identical to his own through the peephole, giving him a gentle smile, Xu Tong wouldn't find that smile beautiful at all.

Instead, it would only send chills down his spine.

"Hello," the Mimic outside spoke first, seizing control of the conversation. "Could you please open the door for me?"

After a moment of thought, Xu Tong asked, "Opening the door is fine, but how can I be sure you're a Mimic and not a normal person? If you're a Mimic, wouldn't it be very dangerous to let you in? I don't want to put myself in a dangerous situation."

Hearing Xu Tong's question from behind the door, the smile on the Mimic's face grew even thicker.

"Please don't misunderstand. First of all, I won't cause you any harm."

The Mimic opened its arms, seemingly trying to show that it had no hostility. "Moreover, I can tell you my identity very clearly, so you don't have to worry.

"I am indeed a Mimic."

Xu Tong: ?

Wait a minute.

Why is it admitting it so readily?

How is it different from other Mimics?

According to the instance description and the hints given by the NPCs, Mimics are supposed to be beings that resort to any means to survive.

If that's the case, they shouldn't easily admit their Mimic identity in order to survive.

But why is this Mimic in front of him not only knocking on the door during the day but also admitting that it's a Mimic so readily?

Is it not afraid of death?

After hesitating for a second, Xu Tong continued to ask, "Since you dare to admit that you're a Mimic, I certainly won't let you in. You should know that in the eyes of us normal people, Mimics are very dangerous, right?"

"Of course, I know," the Mimic outside spread its hands, saying in a helpless tone, "However, I also know very well that you will let me in."

Xu Tong raised an eyebrow slightly. "Why do you have this conclusion?"

The Mimic raised its gaze, looking at Xu Tong's eyes behind the peephole.

"Because I am you."

This guy knows who I am behind the door?

Xu Tong felt more and more that this Mimic outside was strange.

Because it has obvious differences from other Mimics.

According to what Dr. Bruce said at the beginning, Mimics are beings that only learn the words of others and don't have normal logical辩证ability. If there are some complex problems, Mimics will not be able to deal with these problems.

Because they don't have their own thoughts, they just follow the purpose of "survival" in the hive mind.

But the Mimic outside clearly has its own thoughts. The purpose of "survival" is not its top priority.

"Your words don't satisfy the condition for me to let you in."

The Mimic outside touched its chin, thought for about two seconds, and then said, "Then how about this, what if I said I could help you?"

"Help me? What can you help me with?"

The Mimic said, "Next, you should be thinking about how to use that medicine, right? But unfortunately, the hospital that can use the medicine has been burned down by you in a fire.

"But that's not the only place where the medicine can be used.

"In Happy Town, there is another place where this medicine can be used."

The Mimic made a please gesture. "As long as you open this door and let me in, I will tell you where this place is."

If it was this information, Xu Tong would be a little tempted.

But the risk is still too great.

No one can guarantee that the Mimic's behavior of admitting its identity is deceiving others.

What if the previous Mimic was on the first floor, Xu Tong was standing on the second floor, and the Mimic in front of him was already on the third floor? Wouldn't that be a trap?

"It seems you still don't trust me enough," the Mimic outside said, "Of course, it's understandable. After all, Mimics follow the hive mind…"

"But, I'm different."

The smile on the face of the Mimic disguised as Xu Tong gradually disappeared.

"I am different from other Mimics. I have my own thoughts and will. I am unwilling to be controlled by the hive mind, nor am I willing to become their tool.

"I came to you because I know you have the ability to change the direction of this instance.

"Before this, I was originally a member of the Mimics, following the most basic hive mind, hunting to survive.

"But, after I became you, everything was different.

"In my body, my own thoughts and will were born, helping me break away from the underlying logic of the Mimics and become a creature that is truly different from Mimics and also different from normal people.

"Perhaps… I should give myself a new name.

"Call me Adam."

Xu Tong: …

How does it feel like a chuunibyou?

However, judging from the various behaviors of this Mimic who calls himself Adam and is disguised as Xu Tong, he is indeed significantly different from ordinary Mimics.

Now that it's come to this, Xu Tong feels that he can also try it.

Take a gamble, and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!

Creak—

The wooden door in front of him slowly opened. Separated from the barrier of the door, two identical faces looked at each other, seemingly examining the subtle differences between each other.

Xu Tong: "Looking at a face that is exactly the same as your own is still a bit creepy."

Adam's restrained smile reappeared in front of Xu Tong. "For humans, this may be the legendary uncanny valley effect, but it doesn't matter. I don't have any malice towards you. Rather, I am full of gratitude and respect for you.

"It is because I disguised myself as you that I have my own will and wisdom, and even say… it is very appropriate to say that you created me."

Adam suddenly reacted, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"If I am Adam, then you should be the God in the Bible who created Adam.

"It's just like my father."

Xu Tong: "Sorry, I'm a virgin."

Adam: "…"
