"Is there a risk of exposure?" Lin Feng immediately asked.
The clone subconsciously shook its head, but then frowned.
They were one, and the clone was very confident in its concealment abilities.
But since the main body asked, it meticulously reviewed its behavior patterns.
"The possibility of exposure is very small. I am currently on a mission. A teammate was recently transferred, supposedly to help."
"She concealed her aura, but could not escape my sight."
"Given her strength, she shouldn't be in my sequence. So I suspect she is from the second sequence, sent to monitor me, or perhaps, to test me?"
"Is there an image?" Lin Feng asked.
The clone didn't speak, and directly shared its vision.
At this moment, the clone and its companion were on a mission on a planet.
Red soil lay beneath their feet, with small hills surrounding them.
In the distance, beyond the hills, was a canyon, and below the canyon, a town.
A small team of several people was heading towards the town. Lin Feng was too lazy to ask about the mission.
He looked at the woman the clone had mentioned.
There was only one woman in the team, so she was easily spotted.
She looked ordinary; Lin Feng had no impression of her.
She wasn't in the movie either.
Silently committing the woman's appearance to memory, Lin Feng communicated with the clone in his mind, "I am now sharing a skill with you. Use it wisely, and it can grant you even greater concealment abilities."
Lin Feng's clone was not as powerful as the main body. It had no problem concealing itself from ordinary black robes.
But if a top-tier existence from the first or second sequence suddenly appeared, there would be a risk of exposure.
After all, the clone's soul was not complete; it was an appendage that relied on Lin Feng.
Who knew if those strange people had the ability to see through the essence of souls.
Even though Lin Feng was very confident in his current clone, if he could do better, why not?
Based on Lin Feng's speculation, the first sequence should be at the level of the entire universe, though far from o-A-A (omniscient and omnipotent). It was still necessary to have a backup.
As he spoke, Lin Feng shared a connection to a fragment of the Heart of the Universe.
Through this channel, the clone could share some of the Heart of the Universe's abilities.
It could create a realistic soul illusion, perfectly preventing the clone from being discovered.
Now, unless o-A-A (omniscient and omnipotent) himself appeared, it would be impossible to discern that it was a clone.
As the energy channel connected, the clone's body trembled slightly.
One of the teammates in the squad paused. It was the woman.
Her peripheral vision was always focused on Lin Feng's clone.
This small movement did not escape Lin Feng's notice.
"Alright, continue as planned. I'm leaving now."
"And if that woman really notices anything, don't hold back!"
"I understand!"
Having delivered the grand gift, Lin Feng withdrew his gaze.
In the living room, Little Black and the black cat created by Lin Feng were already playing happily.
Little Black had been taken around Blue Star by Lin Jili and the others for the past few days, encountering many of its own kind.
But Little Black could sense that although they looked similar and belonged to the same species, that was all there was to it.
They didn't understand anything Little Black said, which was undoubtedly a great disappointment to it.
However, Little Black still decided to continue living on this planet.
Life under the protection of a powerful being was wonderful.
Every meal came with endless energy cubes, and there was still a large entity within its belly that hadn't been fully absorbed.
This life of no worries about food or clothing made Little Black reluctant to leave this place.
Lin Feng sat with his legs crossed, sipping coffee, watching the two cats play and romp, quietly enjoying the pleasant afternoon.
From now on, he would have two cats at home. Lin Feng felt he had reached the pinnacle of life.
Strength, wealth, a girlfriend, and even "children" – he lacked nothing.
This was the kind of life Lin Feng had once longed for.
...
At four thirty in the afternoon, it was time for Lin Jili and Martina to return from school.
They always returned earlier than Susan and Wanda, and the two of them always came together.
Susan wasn't too worried about their safety.
The main reason was that these two children were not only picked up and dropped off by Transformers, but they also had an incredibly terrifying background.
The necklace Lin Jili wore around her neck wasn't just a simple accessory; it was a distress beacon that could summon Lin Feng.
Therefore, Susan felt there was no need to worry excessively.
Lin Jili, like a mischievous little devil, kicked open the door upon returning home and dashed towards the black cat.
Screeching to a halt in front of the black cat, Lin Jili familiarized herself with a shameful pose and shouted, "Where is my great general!"
Her voice was soft, and combined with her chuunibyo pose and lines, she looked adorably silly.
Lin Feng found it amusing, this familiar chuunibyo feeling.
Little Black reluctantly dropped the black cat created by Lin Feng and walked to Lin Jili's side, striking the same pose with a look of resignation.
Lin Jili bared her pearly white teeth and smiled with satisfaction.
However, she soon noticed something was wrong.
"Why are there two Little Blacks?"
Her big eyes curiously darted between the two identical black cats.
When Lin Feng created this black cat, he did so casually. Seeing Little Black, he simply molded a copy.
So, these two cats were almost identical, the only difference being the shade of their pupil color.
"Little Black was lonely by itself, so I made another one," Lin Feng said from the sofa without getting up to explain.
"Huh?" Lin Jili scratched her head.
"Brother Lin Feng, you're home."
"..."
Did this child only have eyes for cats now?
Martina looked at the two black cats with great excitement, liking them more and more.
"Can I have the other one?"
As she spoke, Martina looked at Lin Feng with a hopeful expression.
She had been coveting Little Black for a long time. Every time she saw Lin Jili riding Little Black around the yard, she thought it was incredibly cool.
And most importantly, Little Black could even strike poses with Lin Jili!
Although Lin Jili didn't mind her riding, she still wanted a black cat of her own!
Lin Feng shrugged and said indifferently, "Of course."
This black cat was already a complete life form and would eventually pass away. It was good to have someone to care for it.
"Hooray!"
Martina cheered, ran over, picked up the other black cat, and began to pet its head with immense affection.
The smooth cat fur felt wonderful, making her eyes squint into crescent moons with satisfaction.
"Can it grow big too?" Martina suddenly asked after a long while of petting.
