After successfully merging with Nars and becoming a dual spirit, Liu Xuan experienced many things. First, An Xiaotian suddenly developed unknown symptoms while in bed, and it was fortunate that Liu Xuan had gone to visit him; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. When Nars saw the Variant Current manifesting on An Xiaotian, he immediately took Liu Xuan to an empty restroom at the rescue center, summoning his first-level Time-Space Equipment Library—this was also Liu Xuan's first encounter with Nars's abilities.
Fragment One
At that moment, Liu Xuan chose to trust Nars and ran against the crowd. However, An Xiaotian's screams were so loud that the entire corridor was filled with onlookers, and Liu Xuan couldn't find any so-called "empty place." In a moment of desperation, he turned his gaze toward the restroom in the corner. He bent down to look around inside and confirmed that no one was there. He immediately said, "There's no one here; if you have the ability, hurry up and use it! That's my brother!"
"Let me handle this." As soon as the words left his mouth, Nars and Liu Xuan completed their first soul exchange. Liu Xuan's eyes turned a bright moonlight white as Nars's persona officially came online. He rolled up Liu Xuan's sleeve and lifted the watch on his wrist, revealing a blue holographic workstation filled with strange symbols that Liu Xuan couldn't comprehend.
"So that's how you use the watch you gave me!" Liu Xuan was taken aback; he had thought it was just an ordinary watch for telling time.
"Everything I gave you comes from my Time-Space Equipment Library," Nars explained while inputting the password for the first-level equipment library. "Nothing that enters my equipment library is just for show."
After pressing the final key, a Time Portal appeared before Nars at head height. This was Nars's first-level Time-Space Equipment Library, where all weapons and gear were arranged in a humanoid shape corresponding to Nars's form. On either side of the deep blue ground lay toolboxes. Nars crouched down and rummaged through the biological medicine box on the left, finally grasping a six-tube vial filled with a yellow-brown liquid. The Time Portal then vanished, returning to the original appearance of the restroom.
"Just inject one dose into him; after that, it's up to you."
Liu Xuan switched back with Nars and sprinted back to An Xiaotian's hospital room with the syringe in hand, saving An Xiaotian from the clutches of death...
Fortunately, he hadn't let go; if he hadn't fully injected the serum, it could have ended differently. Sitting on his dormitory bed, Liu Xuan turned his arm over and over to examine the one holding the syringe. In fact, after the Variant Current erupted in An Xiaotian, Liu Xuan had lost all feeling in that arm while trying to save him. The skin had taken on a terrifying blood-red hue, with flesh split open by electric currents resembling a network of rivers crisscrossing his arm.
At that moment, Nars realized how important it was to enhance Liu Xuan's physical strength. He understood that since Liu Xuan was now him, it meant that Liu Xuan would inevitably encounter internal Humans; combat was unavoidable. Even if his own abilities were strong, Liu Xuan's physical strength would limit his performance ceiling. That night, after explaining his desire to strengthen Liu Xuan’s body and receiving his consent, Nars began administering serums in Liu Xuan's room every night before he went to sleep, using Spell Arts for full-body enhancement as a form of hypnosis.
Thanks to Nars's efforts, within a week, Liu Xuan's arm had completely healed. His body transformed from being tall and thin to much stronger; when he lifted his shirt in front of a mirror, he could clearly see defined abs and chest muscles.
Fragment Two
Although Nars had now merged into his body, it did not affect Liu Xuan's romantic life. After their encounter that night with Ma Yihan, Liu Xuan successfully added Ma Yihan’s contact information back. Fortunately, Ma Yihan agreed to his confession. Five years later today, Liu Xuan finally achieved his wish of becoming an enviable couple with Ma Yihan.
"Hey, it's great to be going home again."
Liu Xuan walked out of the gates of City S University, a satisfied smile on his face as he looked up at the blue sky. His home was in Shengfeng Village, not far from the university, so he had applied for off-campus housing, allowing him to return home every day before dinner to spend time with his mother, Liu Wenxin.
In the past few days, he had absorbed less than a quarter of what he should have learned in class, but fortunately, there was still plenty of time before finals week. He was just grateful that he had met Ma Yihan at the right moment, which kept his longing for her from affecting him too much.
"Still thinking about her?" Nars could clearly sense the surge of hormones within Liu Xuan and asked curiously.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see her."
"Congratulations, you've found your other half."
"What do you mean 'also'?" Liu Xuan was puzzled by Nars's words.
Nars seemed to deliberately avoid answering that question and instead said to Liu Xuan, "Xuan, I need to tell you something that makes me uneasy. Do you remember the security guard who came to open the door for you that night?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"He doesn't seem like a local from Earth. I can sense a familiar aura; it's the scent of an enemy."
Liu Xuan immediately tensed up, furrowing his brow as he looked around at the people nearby. He put on his headphones and pretended to be on a phone call, asking, "Could your enemies really be disguising themselves on Earth? Right next to us?"
"It's entirely possible. During the lunar civil war, their initial tactic was similar to this infiltration plan—posing as friends while blending into society and gathering information. By the time we realize what's happening, they've already taken shape and become an uncontrollable force—one of the most dangerous factions."
"So you're saying they've already infiltrated our society?"
"If I'm not mistaken, any civilized planet we've marked has been infiltrated by Ban Sa. This operation is codenamed 'Familiar Faces'."
"Oh my God." As Liu Xuan walked to the edge of the bus station platform, he held onto the railing and cautiously looked around. "Based on just this glance—if what you say is true—can he recognize you?"
"He can't, but they can analyze it."
Liu Xuan sighed, "I kind of regret saving you."
"I knew you would have this day," Nars replied, sounding utterly dejected.
"I'm not trying to abandon you. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't know how, right? And when I made that decision, I didn't hesitate at all. Since I've accepted you, I have to take responsibility," Liu Xuan reassured him, shifting to a topic he felt more comfortable with. "Why are you only saying this now?"
"Weren't you always daydreaming? I didn't want to disturb your spring dreams."
"Daydreaming... huh?! Do you even know what 'spring dreams' means? Please, don't misuse words!" Liu Xuan was still trying to defend himself, even though he knew Nars could sense his fantasies. That kind of tumultuous imagery...
"Alright, alright, back to the main topic," Nars said, still giving Liu Xuan some face. "You probably know what might happen in the future. I want to take you back to train with Time for a bit. After all, controlling one body with two souls has its advantages and disadvantages. If you can coordinate with me during combat, I believe our fighting power will only increase."
Half an hour later, Liu Xuan returned home by bus. His mother had already prepared a lavish meal for him. As he walked in, he saw her bringing a pot of steamed fish head soup to the table. "Son! You're back! Come on, put down your things and eat."
Liu Xuan sat down as his mother asked, "Son, how have you been at school lately? No one is bullying you like before, right? And how's your good buddy? Is he alright now?"
"Of course! It's not like I can't live without An Xiaotian," Liu Xuan said with a shy smile. "He's stable now; there are medications that can treat him. Don't always believe what you hear in the news."
"That's good." His mother picked a piece of fish for him. "Xuan, I'm still very worried. Did you see the news recently? They said that in City S's sky, birds have been falling down for no reason. Some people even saw something... I'm still uneasy."
"The internal Human's 'Ghost Twilight' class main battleship; as far as I know, it's the only one in their close defense forces that has stealth capabilities," Nars quietly said in Liu Xuan's mind.
Liu Xuan nodded, unsure if he was responding to his mother or Nars. "Mom, you're worrying too much again. Last time with that meteorite, you were afraid it would really hit the ground. Look at us now; we're still living well. No matter how big the issue is, it won't be our turn to suffer. So please don't worry."
Liu Xuan's words brought a blush to his mother's face that any girl would envy: "Hehe, with my son around, I feel at ease."
"Of course! Don't always think too much. Let's just live our lives well."
Despite saying this, the reminder from Nars lingered in Liu Xuan's mind, causing a sense of unease. He knew that he was in grave danger and had likely become a target for enemies he had never met. All he could do was pray to survive.
"Mom didn't mean to worry you; I just wanted to remind you to be safe out there. People are on edge lately, talking about aliens, and I'm quite scared too. You might think I'm just being overly cautious, but I really..."
His mother looked at Liu Xuan with a hint of sadness, wanting to keep her next words to herself but ultimately speaking them: "I just don't want to lose another loved one, especially since you're my child."
Liu Xuan exchanged a glance with his mother, lowering his head in silence as he continued eating the little food left in his bowl.
At two in the morning, Ma Yihan finally succumbed to fatigue and sent Liu Xuan a "good night" message before logging off.
Liu Xuan also put down his phone and gazed at the moon outside. Suddenly remembering something, he turned to Nars and asked, "When do you think we should train?"
"Now?"
"Perfect!" Liu Xuan jumped off the bed, putting on a black trench coat to avoid being recognized by anyone returning late to the village. "Let's go to the backyard."
However, once outside, Liu Xuan turned his head to the right and noticed that the brightest light came from an automatic ATM machine that was illuminated 24 hours a day. It seemed like someone was knocking on something nearby, producing a metallic echo. Liu Xuan squinted: "Could they be robbing it?"
"Oh? Interested in some real action?"
At the ATM machine,
"Boss, there must be at least three hundred thousand here, right?" one of the henchmen asked.
"Where did all this come from! We're just rural folks who don't understand digital currency. If we knew a bit of technology, would we need to come here to rob cash? Hurry up and stuff it all in and get out!" the leader said.
"Brothers, isn't this robbery a bit too loud?"
The five turned around to see a person with their face covered, wearing a stylish black trench coat. Strangely, their arms were covered in deep blue, scale-like patterns, and their left eye... was glowing?
The leader laughed heartily, "Playing cosplay in the middle of the night? Go away, I don't want to leave you missing an arm or a leg."
"Should we give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, the leader steeled himself and continued stuffing the money without looking back. He said to the guy next to him, "Take care of him."
The four underlings immediately stood up and approached!
"Liu Xuan, do you remember how I taught you to summon weapons? Give it a try!"
"Ah, I don't want to kill anyone!"
"I'm not asking you to kill; just knock him out!"
In a short span of time, one person stepped forward and kicked Liu Xuan to the ground. The others grabbed their weapons, preparing to strike! Nars quickly logged in, his eyes instantly brightening as he summoned a Particle Shield to block the incoming shovel. "Now it's your turn!" Nars switched back with Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan pushed hard against the shovel, deflecting it, then performed a quick maneuver to stand up. Facing the four attackers, Liu Xuan bent down and tackled the one on the far left who was about to swing at him, pushing him out of the encirclement. Then he swung his shield, knocking out the downed underling.
Another person approached with a stick, ready to swing down! Liu Xuan couldn't dodge on his own, but at that moment Nars logged in again and shifted his body sideways just in time to see the stick swing past him.
Before Liu Xuan could react, Nars unleashed a flurry of punches—one to the jaw and two to the face. Then his legs were enveloped in blue-black scales that wrapped tightly around him. With a thunderous roar from the steel plates arching backward, Liu Xuan kicked him away a full four meters!
In the Space-time Arsenal of Nars, there is the Storm Armor, a powerful combat weapon that greatly enhances the user's kicking speed and strength. Each protruding steel plate is equipped with a small engine, allowing for explosive attacks at the moment of kicking. The reason his arsenal is arranged in a humanoid form is so he can summon this equipment whenever he needs it most.
The remaining two lackeys had never witnessed such skills and began to retreat. Nars had no intention of killing; after taking down the two with Liu Xuan, he did not take further action. However, unexpectedly, their leader pulled out a gun that appeared to be handmade and aimed it at Nars and Liu Xuan, saying, "Try moving again! I've fired a gun before, don't think I won't!"
Nars raised his hands and stepped back in a show of weakness with Liu Xuan. Seeing him gradually retreating, the man glanced down at the money bag at his feet. In that instant, Nars summoned the fleeting Space-time Arsenal, and a tiny needle shot out, piercing the man's chest! He collapsed to the ground, convulsing briefly under the effects of the anesthetic before falling into a deep unconsciousness.
"We're so cool!" Liu Xuan exclaimed excitedly after putting away his weapon.
If Nars had a body, he would probably be facepalming and sighing, "It seems I should take charge in future battles."
"Sure! Nars, I feel like I'm becoming a great hero too!"
"Well... with me around, you definitely are."
"I want to give us a new name. Those who uphold justice usually have 'hero' in their title... so what should we call ourselves? With you online, my skin turns blue; how about Blue Shadow Hero? No, it needs to have a masked vibe—Blue Face Hero?"
"That sounds strange."
Liu Xuan returned to his human form and continued talking to the Nars in his mind as he walked further away. To others, he appeared to be just a fool talking to himself.
