"What happened?"
Liu Zheng asked cooperatively.
"These monsters crawled out from our shadows and took on our appearance,"
Andrina said gravely.
"Wait, didn't you say all the lanterns were extinguished? How could you see them?"
He had spotted a flaw.
"We don't know either, but we could just see them,"
Andrina shook her head.
"Alright, then what?"
"We suffered heavy losses in the ambush and shock, losing two-thirds of our patrol team to eliminate these monsters."
"The monsters that didn't kill their corresponding Hunters returned to their original form after death, but those that did kill their Hunters retained the appearance even internally, right down to the last detail,"
Andrina explained.
As for how they discovered the internal structures were identical, it was only because those Hunters volunteered after their death.
"Damn, that's intense. Can they also copy the memories of those they mimic?"
Liu Zheng asked a crucial question.
