THE small ball of fluff jumped and Luo Yan caught him in his arms. A pair of shining sapphire blue eyes stared up at him.
[Mashter, did you see that? Eclipse did amazing, right?]
Luo Yan rubbed the little fox’s fluffy head. [Yes, Eclipse is really amazing.]
The three tails behind Eclipse’s back kept wagging, showing how happy he was with the praise. He happily buried his furry head on his master’s chest.
Luo Yan smiled and gently hugged the little fox. This plan wouldn’t be possible without Eclipse and his upgraded [Mirror Image] skill. The one that allowed him to copy anything and anyone perfectly within 5-meter radius of Eclipse. The effect will last for 10 seconds.
In the upgraded version, the distance was still the same but it’s effect now could last for a minute. One might ask, if that’s the case, then how come Eclipse could remain in Michael’s form for that long? Simple, it’s because of Su Yuqi.
She had a skill to amplify the skills of others. They weren’t just sure if that skill could work on Eclipse who’s technically Luo Yan’s pet. So, they had to try it first. Luckily enough, it worked.
But the real question here was how did Eclipse manage to ’copy’ the captain of team Celestials? Again, it was because of Su Yuqi’s efforts.
So, let’s all go back exactly to the moment Su Yuqi and Eclipse left Luo Yan’s study.
=====
Su Yuqi hugged the little fox with one arm before taking a special pass from her Items Tab. She got this special pass long ago. It was given by that strategy guy of Celestials when that team was only starting. Since Yunyue was still a big deal back then, the guy probably thought that having a relationship with them would be advantageous to their team.
She never really had any intention of using it. So, she just let it be buried in her Items Tab. Who would have thought that it would have some use now?
Before this, Bai Ze had already sent a message to that strategy guy asking if she could visit their headquarters for a few minutes. According to Bai Ze, today was the day that Celestials would do their monthly meeting. So, he was sure that Michael – Celestial’s captain – would be there.
She wasn’t sure how Bai Ze got that information. But she also didn’t question it. That guy was a real people person. He could easily befriend anyone. So, it’s no wonder that he managed to build some kind of information network through his years of playing. But because this was Bai Ze, he had never really taken advantaged of that and only did so if needed.
It would probably be better if he would go to Celestials headquarters himself. But Su Yuqi had to be with Eclipse the moment the fox used his skill. So, she could immediately used one of her skills to amplify his. And then the two of them could just directly teleport at the decided meeting place after they left Celestials’ headquarters.
Su Yuqi tore the special pass and she quickly felt that feeling of being pulled into a vacuum. She hugged the little fox in her arms tighter to make sure that she wouldn’t accidentally drop him.
When she opened her eyes, she was already in front of a pantheon like building. She could see how close they were to the dark night sky. Showing that they were in some kind of floating land.
A sarcastic laugh escaped her lips. Really, this pretentious bunch. It’s not enough that only Angels were allowed to join in their ranks. Their headquarters also had to be close to the sky. Did they really think they were real celestial beings or something? She shrugged. Or maybe they just thought that this was a good PR move.
She was thinking how she should meet with Michael. Should she just barge her way in? Eclipse only needed to be within five-meter radius of him and that was it.
As luck would have it, before she could decide on how to proceed, Angels started to walk out of the pantheon. Amongst the group of players walking out, Su Yuqi immediately saw their target.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?" one asked, quite aggressively.
"Wait- isn’t that Morganite?"
"Yeah, you’re right. What’s she doing here?"
"Calm down, everyone," suddenly said by a man with golden-brown hair and a pair of light blue eyes behind gold-rimmed spectacles. This was Celestials’ famous strategist – Uriel. "White Marsh said that you’d be visiting us here. To what do we owe this pleasure?"
Su Yuqi completely ignored the smiling guy who seemed more like a fox compared to the one in her arms and her whole focus was on the person standing at the center. He had golden hair as bright as the sun and a pair of golden amber eyes that were looking at her curiously.
She whispered to Eclipse, "That’s our target. The one standing at the middle just beside the person who spoke earlier."
She wasn’t sure if this pet could understand her. But since Luo Yan included him in this plan, then he most likely could.
The little fox in his arms looked at the direction she said. Then the fox jumped from her arms and was surrounded by a black smoke. The moment the smoke disappeared, and another ’Michael’ was now standing on his place.
Gasped of surprise was heard everywhere. Eclipse in Michael’s skin turned to her.
"Pink Sister!" he called.
The corner of Su Yuqi’s lips twitched. It’s kind of weird seeing such a goofy smile on the face of the angelic Michael. She noticed that the people around them were getting restless. If they didn’t leave now, she might have to explain what was happening to these people. Which, aside from the fact that they didn’t have the time to do that, she also really didn’t want to do it.
So, she grabbed Eclipse and teleport out of there.
And the two of them then appeared on the small pavilion on the lake. Shen Ji Yun, who was using his other game account, and their target – Raphael were both already there.
=====
Luo Yan raised his head to finally look at Raphael. The other was also staring at him, his eyes wide and full of shock. His whole body was stiff frozen, as if time had stopped.
"How should I say this? Ah, right," He then smiled sweetly while staring straight at this person. "It’s a prank! Did you like it?"
Lan Yu’s whole body which had been frozen started shaking when he heard such a flimsy thing. All the thing that had happened earlier, everything, he now understood that it was planned by this hateful guy. And he fell right through it. Dancing accordingly to everything.
Like a stupid clown.
All because of his feelings for Li Xu Min. If he could have taken a moment and stopped, he would have seen all the abnormalities. But because of his feelings, his emotions simply clouded his judgment. As if he just willingly put a blindfold just for the slim chance that he could interact with Li Xu Min.
He stared viciously at Noctis who was smiling at him and all he could feel was his mockery. And he was simply overcome with rage.
