Normally, you might think it's just a mobile game—play it for a while, close it if you want. But with all the talk of women's clothing, who would even pay attention to a crappy horror mobile game? You'd probably be preoccupied with figuring out how to manage your mania and avoid going crazy and chopping off roots.
But Xing Ye doesn't.
After he saw the prompt in the mobile game, his first reaction was that I don't like playing this game, and the original owner doesn't like playing it either. Click x to continue studying the original owner's personal character.
But he hesitated when clicking to close the game, as the game felt too awkward.
The original owner was a person whose memory would reset every day. He liked women's clothing, and the most he did on his phone every day was shopping and talking to strangers on chat apps about his troubles. Apart from that, he didn't even have a Candy Crush-style puzzle game on his phone. Would he play a game that was obviously a mystery game?
I searched my entire phone and found only this one game, and it had been downloaded for more than half a month.
It is also very strange for a person who loses his memory every day to play suspense and reasoning games. Xing Ye put himself in his shoes and thought that if he knew that his memory would be reset, even if he played games, he would only play simple games that did not require much brainpower.
Existence is reasonable. This game seems extremely abrupt but has been kept in the original owner's phone for half a month. There must be something wrong with it.
Xing Ye sat at the desk and closed his eyes to think for a while.
It is currently known that: 1. He is not the original owner of this body, and a supernatural phenomenon called soul transformation has occurred; 2. Words will appear on the mirror on the dressing table by themselves, which is very similar to the description in a ghost story. Although he does not remember what the ghost story is and his memory has been cleared, some experience, intuition, and common sense are still there, which does not prevent him from making normal judgments; 3. There is a game on his mobile phone that looks like a horror movie, telling him that there is a parasite in the hospital and the parasitic range is constantly expanding.
To sum up, under the premise of the first two points, the description of the mobile phone in the third point may be true!
Xing Ye sat up straight and became alert, which meant he had to be wary of everyone around him.
What's even more terrifying is that since his memory will be reset, what evidence is there to prove that today is the first day?
There were two parasites on the first day, and one more was added every day. If he had awakened for the tenth or twentieth time now, would the world outside the door be full of parasitic monsters?
No, you shouldn't be so desperate.
Xing Ye was very confident in himself. If he could find all the information within half an hour after waking up today, then he must have been able to do so yesterday and the day before yesterday. Now that he had discovered these things, how could he not leave a message for himself the next day?
He had just checked the entire room and found no clues worth noting.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some mysterious force will erase the clues he left behind.
This suspicion is also possible. If memories can be erased, wouldn't it be easier to clear external traces?
But if I could think of this today, I could certainly have guessed it yesterday. If it were me, how could I have subtly left an indelible message for my future self the next day? Especially since I'm naturally suspicious, I have to ensure I can immediately trust my past self. Xing Ye pondered.
Analyzing things requires bold assumptions and careful verification. Assuming that all the above reasoning is true, and he is really facing such a dangerous and desperate situation, how can he break the deadlock?
First of all, if you believe that the content described in the mobile game is true, then the "people" in this hospital cannot be trusted, because they are very likely parasites in human skin.
Secondly, there are souls in this world.
Finally, assuming that today is not the first day, yesterday's self should leave some key information for today's self. It must be placed in a place where you can see and pay attention to it the first time you wake up, and it must be very eye-catching.
The first thing he noticed after waking up was his hair, followed by his chest. The fake breasts represented women's clothing, and women's clothing forced him to confirm his appearance immediately.
So he quickly opened the mirror and saw a line of very eye-catching red words on it.
"People" are untrustworthy and harmful, but the phone never mentioned that "ghosts" are harmful and untrustworthy.
What can be erased are his own memories and the mindless dead objects in the outside world. Then, the only living, conscious thing around him that tries to convey some information to him is the ghost in the mirror!
Xing Ye quickly returned to the bed and opened the mirror on the dressing table. He saw bloody words written on it: It's the second day, please remember me quickly!
The handwriting is extremely scary. If an ordinary person saw it, they would probably be so scared that they would break the mirror.
Normal people would infer that there was a ghost in the mirror, and when asked if he remembered it, and it said it was already the next day, it would easily remind people of the legend that people die after seven days, and it is also possible that he would smash the mirror.
But he had been awake for half an hour, and the mirror had not done anything to harm him.
Change your thinking. If you change the horror movie-like handwriting in front of you into a very cute font, the effect will probably change immediately, and the horror movie will seem to become a love movie about the love between humans and ghosts.
You can try it.
Xing Ye said to the mirror: "I don't remember you."
Mirror: You are such a big liar. Before you passed out yesterday, you said that as long as you open the mirror, you will definitely think of me!
When Xing Ye heard these words, a strange thought arose in his mind, and he felt like a heartless man.
The mirror was very excited. Seeing that Xing Ye had no intention of taking off the mirror, it wrote frantically: You clearly said that as long as you have me, you are not afraid of anything. You also said that I am your soul mate, a mirror image with two sides of the same coin. Please remember me quickly and like me!
After seeing this line of words, Xing Ye was silent for a moment and then asked: "Do you... like me?"
The handwriting on the mirror became even bloodier and messier: Of course I like it. The relationship between you and I is one of giving whatever I want. I trust you completely and entrust everything to you. You are the only one who can hurt me!
Xing Ye rested his arms on the table, clasped his hands together, and pondered the mirror's words. "It really sounds like a ghost who loves me wholeheartedly. I also trust him or her very much and am willing to let him or her be the one to awaken my memory. Generally speaking, when there is a love affair, the image of the mirror in my mind should be her, but I couldn't help but add the option of 'him'. Does this mean that I subconsciously believe that the mirror is male?"
The above are just thoughts. Xing Ye did not ask any questions. He was very cautious and was thinking about what kind of questions to ask.
At this time, the mirror's words changed again: Don't ask questions casually! You must like me first before asking! I can't say anything extra, like me quickly!
Every exclamation point reflects the urgency of the mirror.
Why can't I ask questions? Can't I speak? Saying too much will hurt the mirror or me. Should I like him? Is this a scam? How can I fall in love with a mirror? Xing Ye asked himself.
Most people don't like mirrors. Looking at the words written in blood, any random photo can be used as the opening credits of a horror movie. It's as if there is an invisible force preventing him from liking mirrors.
"I'll like you if you're a little cuter." Xing Ye spoke slowly. He really wanted to see the mirror use some tricks to make himself like him. He was a little looking forward to it.
The mirror fell over by itself with a "bang", as if it was too angry to look at Xing Ye.
He looked like an angry and anxious young man. Although he looked a little scary, every word he said was actually for my own good.
Xing Ye couldn't help but smile. He poked the mirror and said, "I think you are very cute right now."
"You big liar, I'm almost dying of anxiety and you're still teasing me... Huh? Can I speak now?" The mirror made a very pleasant sound, and Xing Ye's mood suddenly became very good.
He held up the mirror and said, "Your voice is that of a young man. It's a little unexpected for me, but it also makes sense. I thought you would be a beautiful woman."
"Don't say so much now. Just like me more quickly. I can't even tell you my name right now!" the mirror said anxiously. "We are pressed for time. It took you ten hours to dig me out of the corner of the closet yesterday. Before you lost your memory, you deliberately put me on the dressing table so that you could recover your memory as soon as possible. But I was clearly standing yesterday, but when you woke up, I was lying down. You waited for a long time before you opened me!"
Like... The mirror really cares about me. Xing Ye felt a little happy, but he still teased the mirror slowly: "I think my requirements should be very high. Maybe I don't care about the gender of my partner, but in terms of appearance... at least it should be above average, not too much worse than my face."
When talking about appearance, the mirror instantly became very confident. He said seriously: "Your face now is so ugly!"
Is he really a good-looking person?
Xing Ye poked the mirror, and the mirror said, "If you want to see my face, like it more."
Xing Ye couldn't help but laugh. He said, "But even if I like you today, I will still forget you tomorrow. What should I do?"
"I can't move, but your companions can!" said the mirror. "You have two companions. I've been looking for them since yesterday, but unfortunately I couldn't find them. I can only hope they don't become parasites overnight. As long as you find them within today, they can remind you tomorrow!"
