Chapter 5: Unlucky Me (1/2)

I sat on the sofa and looked at Yan in the mirror. The sunlight outside the room was extremely glaring and weak. It was like Zhou Yuan's dull gaze that had passed through the balcony and shone all the way to my feet. It was extremely hot in S City of this season, but I still felt cold all over because of Zhou Yuan.

In this past week, I'd already gotten used to Yan in the mirror world. He was very tactful and wouldn't run around. Since the last time I came back, he would basically only appear in the mirror in my living room, and in his words, last time in this living room, he and I had a very enjoyable conversation. Although I always believed that conversation was just a dream, but since he insisted, and since I had too many things to figure out, I no longer argued with him about it anymore.

Yan was embarrassed by my stare and scratched his head. He asked me: ”What exactly do you want to say? With my current condition, I can only hide in this mirror world and it's unrealistic to send Zhou Yuan's soul back to his body. Furthermore, I do not know what kind of talisman water that Lan gave Zhou Yuan to drink. Right now, his body rejects his soul, so as long as his soul returns to his body, it will immediately dissipate. Even if I want to help him, I would have to depend on the ingredients of the talisman water that he drank to make his body accept his soul, right? ”

So that's it. No wonder Yan insisted on finding out Lan Ruo (Zhou Yuan told me Sister Lan's name) and getting the talisman water.

”Then what about Zhou Yuan?” I asked, ”And, it's been a week. Will you explain it or not? Why does Liu Shuai have, have magic power?” I always felt weird about the words ”magic power”. ”And what exactly happened to Lan Ruo, and Zhou Yuan's soul? The most weird thing is that my,my Borrow Me Your Mana thing, what the hell skill is it? Why do I never feel that way again this week when I touched kindle? In addition, who exactly are you? ”

There were too many questions in my mind. During this past week, I had been busy doing all sorts of things. Today was the weekend. Only then did I have the time to interrogate this unreliable staff member of the Underworld who can only live in mirror.

”Stop! You asked so many questions! Why do you have so many questions? I'm an old man and I'm tired. I want to sleep! Why don't you ask Liu Shuai about his things? ”

”What the fuck sleep! No sleep!” I stood up and walked in front of the mirror. It was strange that Yan seemed to be more obedient and not be tired anymore after I said that. The sleepiness in his eyes also disappeared in an instant.

”It's unreasonable and ridiculous.” Yan stared at me, mumbled as he took out a phone in the mirror and started to play Srike of Kings. ”Someone's actually maltreating the Underworld's staff in broad daylight …”

”What the fuck maltreating.” I rubbed my forehead. ”You have to answer something, don't you?”

”It's unreasonable and ridiculous.” Yan continued to play with his phone, seeming to be talking to himself, but also seemingly saying to me. ”You could have asked your colleague Liu Shuai, yet you insisted on asking me, and even made me not to play the game that I love so much …”

”That's enough …” I found that Yan actually started to act shamelessly! After patting on the mirror a few times, I realized that he was not affected at all, so I picked up a small stool and sat beside the mirror while ridiculing him. ”Do you think I didn't ask Liu Shuai? I asked him, but he just messed around with me and told me that his master wouldn't let him talk about it. In the end he got annoyed by me, and started acting like a hoodlum, saying that if I ask him again, he won't do anything to meet my product needs, and he'll see who can do it! He is the best R & D member in our company! He's the only one who can handle my products. No matter how gossipy I am, I should at least care about my job! ”

”Heh heh, this young lad is really something,” Yan laughed twice with his eyes not leaving his phone, ”I think his method does work.”

”Therefore, I plan to have dinner with him one day.” I glanced at Yan and said guiltily. ”I'll get him drunk before I ask …”

At this time, Yan seemed to have ”game over”, and he glared at me in anger: ”With your body? With a Imbedding Body, drinking will make your lifespan shortened, one year by one sip. How do you think you get diarrhea every time you drink just a little alcohol? ”

”What is a Imbedding Body? One year shortened? ” I seem to have discovered something, and I didn't have the time to care about that Yan knew I can't drink. ”One year shortened? In the past years, I have drunk wine, so how many years do I have now? ”

”Wow, there's another problem. We shouldn't talk about work while we're playing games.” Yan put down his phone and slapped himself on the face, as if blaming himself for speaking too much. It was so fierce that I could feel the pain even through the mirror. Then he stood up in the mirror and paced back and forth a few times. I saw it would work, and he should changed his mind now and answered my question, so I didn't disturb him.

”How about this, I will only answer three of your questions, and after that, you will let me stay in your house peacefully for a period of time.” Yan said as he pointed at his own phone, ”I will play whatever I want to play, and I will do whatever I want. Do not disturb me if there's nothing wrong. What do you say?”

”There's internet connections in the mirror too?” I couldn't help but ask curiously, ”Then when you are playing games in the mirror, do you see the words in opposite directions? Can you get used to it? ”

”Stop it!” Yan waved his hands, indicating that he was not willing to answer these boring questions, ”Do you agree to it? If you don't agree, then I will have to play the game from now on., and no matter what you say, I won't answer! ”

”You are so ruthless...” I thought about it and felt that it would be feasible, so I nodded. When I was thinking about the questions in my mind and preparing to speak, Yan said, ”Don't ask me what happens to Zhou Yuan. I can't solve it if I can't get out of the mirror.”

Damn it, old man! I didn't know this guy's age. Even though he looked to be in his twenties, I believed that he was an old guy. After silently cursing him for a while, I shamelessly asked: ”What do you mean by Imbedding Body?”

”Hmm, there is an extraordinary question. You need to know yourself before you know others.” Yan laughed weirdly, ”The so called Imbedding Body is not that incomprehensible. It means that when your mother was pregnant, it was twins.”

”Imbedding Body.” I said, somewhat puzzled, ”Twins? What are you talking about? ”

”The Imbedding Body is a special case of twins.” Yan no longer messed around, and his expression became more serious. ”That is, inside the mother's womb, due to some reasons, one of the embryos was absorbed by another embryo and integrated into another embryo's body, thus, the remaining embryo's body contains two sets of genes. This kind of situation is rarely seen, but there are precedents. There used to be a man who had a Imbedding Body, whose genes for the reproductive system and the genes for other parts of his body were not the same genes. In other words, no matter how to do the paternity test, the results would say that his child is not his. ”

”So that's it.” I said in surprise. ”No wonder my parents never said anything about it. They didn't know it either.”
