596 Dream-Like Momen (2/2)

”It's really pointless. You never listen to me.”

The other person was feeling exasperated so they left leaving Xiu behind who just realized that she was looking into Destiny's memories from Destiny's eyes. How very delightful! Peh! Definitely not! It's giving her goosebumps even while she was asleep!

But this bizarre adventure didn't come to an end just yet. Xiu noticed how Destiny turned around and opened her locker again, this time, she stared at the mirror and made Xiu come to a realization. Wearing an oversized hoody and covering her face completely, Destiny pulled out a card from her pocket that had a gray stripe.

In the silence of the room, Xiu heard Destiny's voice, ”Sorry, mentor! But I had to steal this from you. It's the only way I can think of surviving right now.”

Xiu's heart thudded violently in her chest as her eyes flew open and she gasped for air. She looked for water from her side table and gulped it down in one go before calming down a little. This experience was just as bizarre as previous ones. The only difference would be that this time around Xiu was completely awake in her dream. She saw everything from Destiny's perspective but she had no control over her actions.

It was like she lived a moment of someone's life through their eyes but without having any control over them.

She was about to rub her temples when she realized how profusely she was perspiring. Feeling sticky all over, she threw away the comforter and ran to the bathroom. Instead of taking a normal shower, she decided to pamper herself with a bubble bath and ease up her nerves.

Stripping over, as she laid back in the bathtub to relax her thoughts instinctively wandered off to the dream she just experienced. There were a few things she noticed...

One; Destiny just had a fight and it was illegal as well. What kind of fights are illegal? Streetfights or the ones in the black market! But with how clean that locker room looked, she couldn't decide which idea was more plausible.

Two; The person came to see Destiny was someone she had mentioned as her mentor in her letters. Also, that person was a female dressed as a male. Even though the texture of the voice was different but the tone sounded oddly familiar!

Three; When Destiny looked into the mirror, the face that reflected back was almost like that rebellious girl whom Chen Xiu met coincidently in a movie theatre. So, she could guess that Destiny was only about 15 or 16 at that time.

Fourth and the most important part, the card she stole from her mentor played an important role in this mystery called Destiny Novell. Perhaps, the card could become the key!

Xiu's thoughts were running all over the place. Even she couldn't tell what or why she was thinking or where all of this was coming from. But she had to act like a detective to question every single thing if she wanted to learn all about Destiny.

It was all the more important now since she didn't want Destiny's life's shadow to come and haunt hers now when she had Darren in her life. She wouldn't be able to bear seeing him getting hurt for any reason.
