Chapter 578 (1/2)

Hou Biao sat on the ground and looked carefully at the other self in the mirror.

This is a real dream. He has been able to dream this dream skillfully and integrate with the real world around him. Now, his body is sitting in front of the same mirror, surrounded by the same floor, walls and gently shaking sandbags. As like as two peas in the mirror, he is sitting in the mirror.

Dream is a strange thing. As long as the subconscious dares to think, it can destroy all physical rules, such as the principle of plane mirror imaging. But he knew that this was not the result of his subconscious mind, and he never wanted to construct a mirror that did not conform to the principle of optics.

He in the mirror is not him, but a shadow and an intruder.

While accompanying Professor Mei to visit the art exhibition in Los Angeles, this shadow invaded his consciousness. As a bodyguard, he had no choice. No matter what he met, he had to stand in front of the professor, whether it was a bullet or a sense of invasion.

Hou Biao remembered every detail of the exhibition, the portrait of the girl, and the long street after the rain with no one but a shadow. The girl was lost and asked the painter for help. Hou Biao found her in the countless shadows of the long street. She came back, holding an umbrella and walking leisurely in the rain. As soon as he looked back, he saw the familiar face, the flame on his chest jumped warmly, and the shadow began to condense under his feet.

Fortunately, Yao Jingjing called him at that critical moment and brought him back to reality. He covered the signs used for consciousness guidance with gum and let their carefully designed plot against the professor go to naught.

He didn't tell anyone about it. The shadow grew slowly in his consciousness until one day he stood up and pinched his neck with his hand.

He knew what he had encountered, but he was neither Lester nor Xia Wenyuan. He was Hou Biao, an underground champion who fell and stood up countless times in the ring to knock down his opponent, and a mercenary who had killed countless people. How can such a person easily let a shadow kill himself after being awakened by the jungle hunter and later Aoki and having strong spiritual power!

”I really want to know what you want?” Hou Biao looked at himself in the mirror and said.

In the mirror he said, ”you know what I want.”

Hou Biao said, ”your target is the data of Mei's laboratory, but you know I'm just a bodyguard and don't have the authority to get those data. I don't think it's that simple. You must have other purposes that I don't know.”

”You and I are one. I can't hide it from you at all, just as you can't hide it from me.”

”As you said, there is no secret between us, so even if I get what you want, how do you intend to pass it on? I can't see any channels for you to pass on information, and I can't see anyone associated with you.”

”When you really get what we want, our people will contact you.”

”Ha ha!” Hou Biao laughed. ”So you're just the one they sent to watch me do things? That's ridiculous! Why should I listen to you and give things to your people? Do you think you've succeeded in parasitizing me?”

”You can also say so,” said the parasite. ”At least you and I are inseparable. Although I can't replace you, we are now closer than twin brothers. It's not impossible.”

”Even so, you always have to pass on the news. Your people will know that I have got what you want. Otherwise, how do they know when to come to me? So you must have something I don't know.”

”So what?”

”I can let you in or drive you out. Even -” Hou Biao stared at the mirror and said fiercely, ”kill you!”

The parasite in the mirror was unmoved. Looking at the shadow penetrating the mirror connected with Hou Biao's feet at his feet, he said, ”you kill me, too.”

Hou Biao laughed and said, ”I've died several times. I'm afraid of getting hurt?”
