The night was peaceful.

The two people hanging in the sky didn't sleep all night and didn't notice anything unusual.

Fu Qi did not detect any spatial fluctuations.

Lou Wei also failed to notice the warning brought by the wind.

Nothing happened that night.

"Hasn't it started yet?"

Fu Qi uttered a questioning sound.

"Perhaps it's already over," Lou Wei said calmly.

"How is that possible?"

Fu Qi still found it hard to believe.

He admitted that the "nursery rhymes" were ridiculously powerful, but that was only a form that appeared in extreme circumstances.

Logically speaking, even if the Night Child is strong in his normal state, he should not be able to surpass him in spatial mastery.

The tracks are completely different, so how can we talk about surpassing them?

In short, after Fu Qi's mental strength exceeded 10,000, he was confident that he had already reached his peak, and even dared to compete with Lou Wei for the title of the strongest in the modern world.

I've just been too busy lately, and it's not very meaningful, so I don't have that strong desire.

"I don't think she can replace Ye Yao with herself right under our noses; she definitely hasn't started yet."

"I hope so."

The sun has risen.

In a little while, it will be time for Ye Yao and the others to go out for breakfast.

At that time, we can observe it carefully.

A little while later.

Ye Yao indeed went to the cafeteria with the others.

He was even humming a cheerful little tune.

"Chicken hot pot~ Chicken hot pot~ Passed through my stomach~"

With light steps and a friendly demeanor, she was exactly like Ye Yao herself, unlike the disguised Ye Tong.

Fu Qi, suspended in mid-air, stroked his chin with a serious expression.

"Lou Wei, what do you think?"

"It looks like it hasn't even started yet."

Lou Wei's tone was very certain.

At this moment, Ye Yao's mental strength is the greatest evidence.

The number three hundred is quite humorous; in the eyes of two super S-class ability users, it can even be accurate to the single digit.

This is undoubtedly the original Night Song, without any trace of Night Child.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Night Child couldn't take Night Song away silently.

Although no one can stop her from doing this, it's still not a method beyond common sense.

This shows that the countermeasures bureau can keep up with her pace and is not so passive.

Even though the "nursery rhymes" have demonstrated the power to destroy the world, the Countermeasures Bureau will never give up.

There's no way I'm going to give up.

Even at full health, they must begin their death throes!

Just as Lou Wei and Fu Qi had a brief moment of relaxation, Ye Yao, who was about to enter the cafeteria, paused at the door.

He then glanced at the clear sky and gave a meaningful smile.

"The weather is really nice today!"

Although the people are not visible to the naked eye, their family locations have already revealed their positions.

Two mysterious, empty male characters' screens even appeared in the field of vision.

It looks like they've been keeping watch all night.

Damn it!

Two important figures, instead of doing their jobs, are just sitting around staring at a little girl.

Aren't you tired of it?

Ye Yao disappeared behind the cafeteria door with light steps.

The sky above was deathly silent.

Fu Qi and Lou Wei stood frozen in place, the sunlight dazzling but unable to dispel the chill seeping into their bones.

Fu Qi forced himself to remain calm, put his hands in his pockets, and slightly raised his chin.

This was his usual confident demeanor, yet his fingertips trembled uncontrollably inside his pocket.

Lou Wei remained expressionless, his gaze fixed downwards like that of a hawk, but the subtle movement of his Adam's apple betrayed him.

The two were undoubtedly the strongest candidates in the world, but at this moment they seemed to be choked by an invisible giant hand.

At first, I was quite certain that Ye Yao was still the original Ye Yao.

But the moment the girl looked up, her gaze pierced her like an icicle.

Without a doubt, she saw them!

These were actions and expressions that the carefree girl had never shown before.

Fu Qi was shocked: Could it be that the replacement had already been completed?

The thought caused his stomach to spasm and cold sweat to soak his back.

The two exchanged a glance, and Fu Qi managed to ask, "Have we... been discovered?"

The sound was dry, like sandpaper rubbing.

Lou Wei remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "...I don't know."

This ambiguous answer almost suffocated Fu Qi.

They could all hear their own hearts pounding like drums.

"At that moment, I did feel her gaze."

Lou Wei spoke slowly again in a less calm tone.

Their judgment and reason began to clash.

A terrifying thought quietly surfaced in their minds.

Could it be that the petite girl on the ground is no longer Ye Yao?

Or was he replaced by Night Child without anyone noticing?

"Is this really possible? Perhaps we've misjudged the situation."

Fu Qi scratched his head in frustration.

"This doesn't make sense. Ye Yao's aura hasn't changed at all. It's exactly the same as yesterday, or even as it always has been. My perception can't be wrong."

"And then there's mental strength. Even if Ye Tong's appearance is the same as Ye Yao's, their mental strength can't be the same, right?"

Then Fu Qi had a flash of inspiration.

"Could it be a method similar to soul swapping?"

Lou Wei shook his head.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. Just looking up at the sky doesn't prove anything."

"Hiss... That's right, let's take another look, let's take another look, maybe it really is just a coincidence."

Fu Qi muttered to himself.

But this is the most agonizing situation.

The most brain-draining state is [N O V E L I G H T] when you can't stop worrying.

However, a conclusion should be reached soon.

No matter how close two people are, they can never completely replace each other.

There will be some differences in both lifestyle habits and the details of speech and behavior.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi observed for a long time, remembering clearly everything from the route from the dormitory to the cafeteria to various small details in public places.

By comparing the petite silver-haired girl on the ground with the previously recorded images, it becomes clear whether she has truly become a different person.

Lou Wei and Fu Qi's expressions were more serious and earnest than ever before.

They need to verify the person's identity!

Ye Yao ordered a dish she often ate in the cafeteria; she didn't order anything casually.

Logically speaking, since Night Child has never eaten in the headquarters' canteen, he shouldn't be familiar with this kind of operation.

However, the silver-haired girl's movements were very practiced, not like it was her first time ordering food.

Does this prove that it was a genuine Night Ballad?

Lou Wei and Fu Qi did not relax, but that alone does not prove anything.

The intelligence report stated that Night Song and Night Child could communicate telepathically.

Night Song might teach Night Child how to operate it, just so that "Sister" can have fun.

All I can say is that Ye Yao is like that; she cares deeply about her family.

Night Child held a place in her heart that was second to none.

Next up is the reaction to eating cafeteria food for the first time.

The silver-haired girl took a bite of food, but her micro-expression remained unchanged, as if she was used to this kind of food and it didn't seem like her reaction to eating it for the first time.

Seeing this, Lou Wei and Fu Qi once again doubted their own judgment.

There's nothing wrong with the person.

Could it have really been an illusion just now?

Is she Ye Yao or Ye Tong?
