"Who are you?!" Kaxiu widened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the counterfeit in front of him ran towards the corner of the wall in an instant. Five seconds later, he was locked by Kaxiu's throat with his arm and dragged into a corner of the street.

"Hehehe..."

A sound like air leaking out of the fake's throat.

"Tell me! What on earth are you?!" Although Kaxiu had subdued the fake, he still felt a sense of horror in his heart. He had noticed that his shadow had disappeared!

"Hehehe." The counterfeit only sneered in response.

Suddenly, Kaxiu felt that the other self in his hand had grown bigger, taller, and stronger. Then there was a violent struggle, and the fake suddenly elbowed back.

It poked Kasu's stomach hard with great force.

Kaxiu groaned, his eyes ruthless. He clenched his right hand tightly, and the muscles on his arm were as hard as steel bars. His left hand helped to pull, and the two forces were applied in the same direction.

"Woo!" The counterfeit's eyes suddenly widened, and he gave up attacking with both hands, trying desperately to grab the arm that was zipped around his neck.

The nails pierced through the skin and penetrated deeply into Kasu's flesh, and blood mixed with raindrops dripped onto the street.

"I never thought that one day I would kill myself!"

Kaxiu exerted his strength fiercely and raised his arm upwards. Immediately, the fake's body kicked twice and stopped moving.

Kaxiu was still worried, so he slapped him hard for more than a minute to make sure that the fake would not wake up again.

"Hoo! Hoo! Ha..."

In the corner of the alley, a man, a corpse, sat slumped in the corner. Spider-web-like raindrops fell on his dark hair.

Kaxiu raised his head and looked blankly at the dark gray sky.

He killed someone, and the person he killed was another self. For no apparent reason, Kaxiu felt a wave of panic in his heart. After a moment, the panic passed, and was replaced by the fierceness in his heart.

His current situation is not safe. Kaxiu needs fangs and strength to protect himself. Anyone who wants to hurt him will pay the price! No matter if it's a human or a ghost.

As soon as his thoughts became clear, Kaxiu regained his consciousness. He quickly looked around, and because it was raining, there was no one on the street.

"We need to deal with the body quickly!"

He lowered his head and found that the body was melting strangely, turning into a blurry, wriggling black shadow.

With a whoosh, the shadow returned to Kaxiu.

In an instant, a large amount of information flooded into my mind.

He is parasitized!

Inside that ancient ruins.

The moment when he was forced to lean against the broken stone pillar.

The parasite is a thing called a magic shadow. Where does it come from? Kaxiu doesn't know the principle and reason of parasitism. He only knows that the magic shadow has magical rules and functions.

Shadow Demon, as the name implies, is a monster that lives in the shadows. Every once in a while, Shadow Demon will copy the host of the previous day. Whether it is the physical strength, the muscle memory trained, or even the fighting skills, they will be perfectly imprinted.

The host only had one day more combat experience and combat skills than before. The two sides fought to the death, the host died, and the demon shadow took over the host's body.

When the phantom is killed, the host will gain back all his combat skills, experience, and memories from the previous day, as well as his physical strength.

This is equivalent to doubling all your efforts! It sounds great, but once you fail, death will follow.

The body, memory, and personality will all be replaced by the shadow.

The most important point is that the Shadow does not end with just one kill, it has nine lives in total. Only by defeating it nine times in a row can you completely get rid of the Shadow's parasitism. Assuming that your probability of defeating the Shadow each time is one in two, then the probability of winning nine times in a row is one in five hundred.

In fact, the probability is even lower. Because many people are parasitized by the Demon Shadow without knowing it, and are killed by a sneak attack when the Demon Shadow materializes for the first time. The Demon Shadow's ferocity and cunning are naturally more suitable for fighting than most people.

If a parasite wants to get rid of it, on a larger scale, it may be only one in five thousand or even ten thousand people.

This is a hopeless probability.

but…

Kaxiu touched the wind ivory pendant with a strange expression.

If he remembered correctly, the time in the outside world was still when he entered the retrospective era. And when he returned to reality, the effect of months and years of training would be instantly reflected in his body, just like when he was in the ruins.

So... he is a natural nemesis of Shadow

From the first manifestation of the magic shadow, the time of each manifestation is fixed. The second manifestation is one month later, the third is two months later, and so on.

The total duration is thirty-six months, a total of three years.

For example, the next time Kaxiu would face the shadow manifestation was at 6 pm on July 4th. He could have chosen a time point between 6 pm on July 3rd and 6 pm on July 4th, not too far in the past or too far in the future.

At that point in time, Kaxiu chose to backtrack.

In this case, when the demon shadow materializes at 6 pm on July 4th, it will be facing a Kaxiu who is completely different from itself, a Kaxiu who has had a few more months or years of training time!

Using the strong to attack the weak, and a shrunken version that is weaker than himself in all aspects, there is no possibility for the Shadow to even explode.

When he thought of this, Kaxiu blinked. Inexplicably, he seemed to have gained a free cheat

After taking a deep breath, Kaxiu became alert again. He had just imagined a perfect situation, but there were many loopholes in it.

The first one is the rewinding ability that was awakened not long ago. It can absorb the obsessions in the legendary antiques and rewind the era. But the rewinding ability consumes the obsession energy, one at a time.

The obsession energy in the wind ivory pendant is gone, and Kaxiu must find a new antique that contains obsession energy.

Secondly, going back to the memory of the antique owner, Kaxiu must fulfill the original owner's obsession, otherwise the results cannot be brought back.

In this case, he and the Demon Shadow would be evenly matched in life and death.

The future is not all bright, and there are many hidden pitfalls and rocks on the way up the mountain. Don't be complacent when you set out.

There is a fierce tiger in my heart, but I can still smell the roses.

"The wound has healed."

In the rainy alley, Kaxiu glanced at his arm. The scratch marks on it had all healed.

He could even feel that his skin was tougher and his muscles were stronger and more powerful than before.

After stretching his body for a while, Kaxiu suddenly felt that he had become much stronger and his physique had become more robust.

My height also seemed to have suddenly increased by a few centimeters.

Calming down, a steady stream of combat skills flooded into his mind. That was a person who looked exactly like him, and he had practiced memory for six months. Now all the results were superimposed on Kaxiu.
