Chapter 57: Me, myself, and I

Lucien felt his heart sink as he stared at the figure standing before him. He hesitated before he spoke: 

"Who are you?" 

The 'young man' in front of him bore an eerie resemblance to him. Their features were the same down to the very last detail. The only difference, however, was in the eyes again. They were crimson red.

The 'young man' standing before him tilted his head puzzledly as he studied Lucien in the same way he was studying him. 

"You look like an evil version of me..." Lucien couldn't help but blurt out, almost subconsciously. 

His words, however, finally earned a reaction from his evil doppelganger. A wide, terrifying, toothy grin tore at his face as his red eyes flickered with intelligence. 

"An evil version, me? Hahaha!" For the first time, the young man spoke, his voice was unsurprisingly the same as Lucien's. This caused him to grimace as he nervously scanned his surroundings.
