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.”

“That’s not it…” “Yan looked at me and shook his head,” Your Imbedding Body is a little special, for it seems that you as an embryo didn’t completely absorb the other embryo. In other words, when you were born, one of you was a live baby, and that is you, while the other was dead due to innate weakness.”

When Yan said this, he sighed. He didn’t look at me, but stood up and walked back and forth in the room. As he walked, he shook his head. “Who would have thought that the other baby would die as soon as he was born?”

“He died as soon as he was born?” I was stunned. “I got it. No wonder my parents don’t know how to talk about this matter. After all, it’s unlucky … …”

“Ugh …” Yan coughed lightly, and nodded as if thinking of something, “That’s right, so you know why you are special, don’t you?”

“Special?” I thought for a bit and asked doubtfully, “Even if Imbedding Body is very special, it should only be a biological phenomenon, right? Then what does the Borrow Me Your Mana thing have to do with this? ”

“More than nothing…” Yan looked at me with a complicated expression, “That’s right, Imbedding Body is a biological phenomenon, but you have to note that the twins are usually sensitive to each other. You should have heard of some strange things that happen when the twins are growing up, right? For example, if one was injured, the other would also feel it.This kind of feeling is from their souls. Normally speaking, when a Imbedding Body was born, the other one of the twins should already be dead, therefore his soul should have died and was immediately reincarnated. However, your situation is a little special. ”

“Why is it special?” At this point, I felt a chill run down my spine, but I wanted him to continue anyway.

“You should have heard the legend from your elders that you met a ghost when you were young, right?” Yan turned his face to the side and looked at me obliquely.

“Yeap!”

I suddenly recalled something that my mother had told me. The whole family knew about it, and I had told a lot of my friends about it, but I took it as a joke.

That was a few days after I was born, and my family was still living in the countryside. That night, my mother was holding me while chatting with my grandparents, and at that time, my father was playing mahjong at someone’s house and came back late. But as soon as he entered the door, I, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly started crying. The family panicked, fed me milk and looked to see if I had wet my pants, but everything was fine except that no matter how they tried to coax me, I was still crying. When my mother saw this, she complained that the loud noise that my father made when he entered woke me up, but my father argued that most of their voices were so loud but I was good. How come he woke the child up when he entered …

Then my grandmother suddenly thought of something and asked my father, “Are you coming back from the road or the path?”

My father was stunned. His mouth moved, but he did not say anything. My grandmother’s voice immediately changed, and she said sternly, “Tell me the truth!”

My father was shocked. He looked at my mother and said embarrassedly, “The path …”

My mother was coaxing me, and when she heard my reply, she immediately glared at my father!

“Ah? The path! You fucker, you went off to gamble again. We only has this little money, so you might as well gamble away us as well. Da ai ( which means Dad), mom, I can’t live with him anymore! ”

My mother finally found the chance. She held me while she cried to my grandparents. My father’s face turned red and purple, but he didn’t understand what gambling had to do with my crying.

In those days, many young men loved gambling, and my father was no exception. My mother disagreed with him and wanted to save more money for me, but my father was a young man and loved to play. His wife was not good with that, so he never admit that he was a gambler. Now he would not be able to get away with it, because there was a gambling fair at every house on the other side of the path.

“Fair enough. My grandson will die if you continue arguing for a while!” My grandmother had never read a book, but she seemed to have an idea at the moment and my mother dare not utter a word. She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said to my father, “On the side of the path you took is the graves of our ancestors. His late great-grandfather has never seen his great-grandson, and Kid Ning (my nickname) is also the eldest son and eldest grandson who we love most. So he couldn’t help but follow you back to visit him.”

As she said that, she saw that I was still crying so she quickly opened the blanket that was wrapped around me. Sure enough, she noticed that there were purple handprints on my arms and buttocks, and my entire body seemed to be twisted by these handprints. And my entire body was twitching, as though I was being dragged to another world!

My mom had never seen this before, so she was terribly scared when she saw this. Tears started streaming down her face as she cried out to my father, “If you kill my son, I’m not done with you!”

“What are you doing! He’s also my son! ” My dad felt guilty, so when he answered back, his voice was pitifully soft. He lowered his head and glanced at my grandma, thinking that if my grandma knew all of this, she might have a solution. This time, my grandma only looked at me and ignored my father.

My father understood that he was waiting for him to admit his mistake, so he quickly told my grandma, “Mom, I know I was wrong. In the future, I won’t come back so late, and I won’t take the small path when I return.”

“Just that? Then Kid Ning is not going to be fine! ” My grandma said coldly.

When my father heard this, he was stunned and didn’t know how to reply.
