The Dreadful Radio wouldn’t be so bored as to offer something useless. That was for sure. After all, the Dreadful Radio had always been adhering to the tradition and principle of "story above all". Everything against the story would be guided back or fixed forcibly.
Therefore, the appearance of duplicates must have a reason. They couldn’t just show up for nothing.
If the reason for their appearance was known, it would be a crucial progress for completing the tasks.
So this time, Su Bai was observing and thinking ever since his duplicate showed up and from the moment they talked. It couldn’t be just a delay of the game or something like a test. Besides, the duplicates were not that capable. Even if they were equally strong, Su Bai could definitely beat them. They wouldn’t stand a chance unless their originals were caught in some special accident. But they just wouldn’t hunt as a team. Instead, they came after their originals respectively, one to one, which was thought-provoking.
However, as a result of Su Bai’s constant observation and thinking, when the duplicate took out the staff, an idea flashed into Su Bai’s mind.
And he seized it!
And he finally figured it out!
When did he get the staff?
Just now!
To be exact about the timing, it was after Dreadful Radio’s reminder and the appearance of the duplicate!
Then in what way was the duplicates created?
They should have been replicated according to the state of the originals before the reset. Su Bai remembered that the first time he met his duplicate, he had somehow become something else like a vampire because of his ptomaine breakout under the blood leech’s attack, and his capability had dramatically improved.
And then, Dreadful Radio’s reminder sounded in his mind and the next moment, his duplicate found him. But this duplicate had no zombie blood in him.
That actually indicated that the duplicate was a copy of the original before the last reset, instead of a dynamic copy that could get updated synchronously. There was a time lag.
Then, according to Su Bai’s memory, this duplicate he met should be himself with both states of vampire and zombie, as the last time he went to the river.
Everything had been going on exactly as Su Bai had speculated. But when the duplicate took out the staff, Su Bai paused in astonishment.
A duplicate was actually a shadow of himself before the last reset, or a template. Then if the duplicate owned the staff, that could simply suggest one fact: Su Bai had already obtained the staves before the last reset!
But that was not what Su Bai remembered; it was self-contradictory.
However, due to the special conditions of this story world, there was one possibility that could perfectly explain it:
Su Bai, who had gone through the reset, didn’t realize that something had happened and even happened many times before he knew—
Since the beginning of this story world…
…he had already been reset.
He was no longer a real participate of this game. Instead, he had almost become a supporting role, or an NPC. The others were participating and resetting while Su Bai could only take it without option.
That felt just the same when he was looking at Fatty and Ego.
He was laughing at others while he himself only knew a little bit more than them.
Fatty and Ego had no idea that Su Bai had gone through all this, therefore Su Bai had believed that he was dominating. But the fact was, in someone else’s eyes, maybe Su Bai was nothing different from Fatty and Ego in Su Bai’s mind.
He was going through the same reset again and again, in which he had already got the staves from Fatty and Ego but lost the opportunity to get across the river. As a result, the three people who had gone across the river got to remember everything, but the others including Su Bai were all forced to forget.
That was the fact. And this time, it wouldn’t be wrong. But at the same time, it was so terrifying.
Su Bai’s hands were shaking. He still couldn’t calm down even till now, but he knew what he should do. Since he failed to go across the river last time, then he had to succeed this time!
He could not let himself forget and reset; he’d rather let someone else go through that.
Now, he was running out of time.
Su Bai lifted his emerald staff and smashed towards his duplicate, and the duplicate also lifted his emerald staff and smashed at him. Both staves were enhanced with their blood, so they were exactly the same; they hit each other and exploded!
"Ouch…" Su Bai took a deep breath. His right arm was almost torn into pieces. It was messy and bleeding badly.
The duplicate was even worse; his body was covered with wounds and it was not easy for him to keep standing.
Su Bai lifted his left arm and dripped his blood onto the other azure staff. Then he smashed it towards the duplicate who was proud but could hardly stand.
