Do I have any companions? Can I trust these people? Xing Ye thought secretly.
If the mirror was sent by the force that caused him to lose his memory to deceive him, that would be too childish. Deception should start with the people you trust the most and are closest to, preferably relatives and friends. But the mirror doesn't even have a face and can't even make the most basic false expressions. His words themselves are not credible, so how can he deceive?
It is precisely this way that is the most credible.
"Tell me what I did yesterday. You can always tell me about it." Xing Ye asked.
After hearing what the mirror said, Xing Ye knew that he woke up at 12 o'clock yesterday morning. What he did after getting out of bed was almost the same as what he did today. The difference was that he did not see the mirror on the dressing table. He saw the game records in his mobile phone without knowing that there were ghosts in the world. There was no information about the existence of mirror ghosts. Xing Ye found it hard to believe that there was a supernatural power in this world. In order to confirm whether the content of the Challenge Destiny Game was something that happened in reality, Xing Ye chose to uninstall the game after analysis.
If this is a game that cannot be ignored, then it must be like a leech that cannot be uninstalled at all.
Sure enough, after Xing Ye uninstalled it several times, the game would always appear on his phone by itself, and Xing Ye finally believed what was said in the game.
There was no one to guide him at this time, so Xing Ye decided to walk out of the ward and take a look. He put on women's clothes and wandered outside for a few hours. Apart from meeting two patients who went to the toilet and the nurse on duty, he found nothing.
It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that he went back to his room to change clothes and took out the mirror from the closet.
This time it was daytime, and the terrifying handwriting on the mirror looked ridiculous without the blessing of the night. This made Xing Ye from yesterday boldly wipe the handwriting on the mirror with a towel and chat with him for a while.
Because Xing Ye didn't remember him, Jingzi's intimacy level dropped to 0 and he couldn't even speak. He was so amused by Xing Ye that he jumped to his feet.
Just as their affection for each other was growing, Xing Ye's manic episode erupted, and he went berserk and raged around the house, threatening to chop roots. Unable to find a knife, he smashed the bathroom mirror, but luckily, Xing Ye had placed the mirror next to the pager. The mirror, able to move slightly, pressed the pager desperately, and doctors and nurses arrived in time to administer a sedative.
After being injected with the sedative, Xing Ye fell asleep directly. He did not wake up until after 11 o'clock in the evening. At this time, he still remembered what happened within the day, but due to the influence of the sedative, he became silent and his thinking was not active enough.
He wrote down what happened that day and placed it next to his pillow, and also placed a mirror on his dressing table so that he could see it as soon as he opened his eyes.
It was already remarkable that Xing Ye was able to do so many things under the influence of sedatives, but his progress for the day was still equal to 0 and he accomplished nothing.
The only good thing was that after his memory was reset the next day, his physical condition seemed to have returned to normal, and the sedatives no longer affected Xing Ye's thinking ability. Otherwise, if Xing Ye had been injected with sedatives for several consecutive days, his brain in this body would probably have been ruined.
After listening to Jingzi's story, Xing Ye realized the seriousness of the problem.
He had wasted a day yesterday. If it weren't for the mirror, the next day would have been the same process as yesterday, until he was killed or parasitized by the parasite mentioned in the game.
"What are you going to do now?" Mirror said, forgetting her anger as she spoke. Her tone was filled with worry. "You never know when mania will strike. You need someone to stop you when it does. Otherwise, the doctor will just give you a sedative."
Then he remembered something and said unhappily, "Why can't you just open your eyes and see the mirror and raise your favorability towards me to 80? If you do, I can help you."
Xing Ye felt warm in his heart, raised his hand to touch the mirror, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let myself become like yesterday today."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and opened the interface of the Challenge Destiny game again.
If you want to understand what exactly happened, you must not be impatient and start from the root cause.
But the game is really cruel. All player information and game content are blocked. When Xing Ye clicks on his phone, it will only prompt "Sorry, it cannot be accessed in difficult mode."
"Why did I choose the difficult mode? Was it because I felt that my life was not comfortable enough or because I thought amnesia and self-harm were fun?" Xing Ye said depressedly while flipping through his phone.
The mirror said, "I can't tell you that you don't like me enough, but you have to believe in yourself. There must be a reason for you to make this choice!"
Xing Ye smiled again. It was not the kind of smile that he forced himself to hide his inner distress, nor was it a smile that was meant to make others feel his strength, confidence and self-assurance, nor was it a fake and polite smile. Instead, it was a smile that came from the heart and said, "You are so cute."
The mirror was a little stunned.
Now Xing Ye's body has been slightly modified by the system based on Xing Ye's original appearance. His height of 185 has been reduced to 175, his body has become thinner, and his face has become slightly softer and more neutral.
All these changes were made to make Xing Ye look natural in women's clothing. Now, when he puts on a skirt, he looks like a tall beauty.
But what fascinated the mirror was not the women's clothing, but Xing Ye's different mentality from before.
In the past, Xing Ye was smart, powerful, confident, and a mastermind, but he wasn't happy. He felt like he was carrying the entire Himalayas, a pressure as immense as Mount Everest. The intense sadness, hatred, and loneliness weighed on him, suffocating him. He was utterly constrained, rarely experiencing true joy.
And now, Xing Ye, who has lost all his memories and returned to his original state, seems to see in the mirror the proud child of destiny who only appeared in Xing Ye's memories, and who loved to challenge all difficult things during his college years.
Xing Ye smiled confidently, pressing his joints with his hands alternately, making them crackle. He said, "I feel really miserable right now, but this is a game, right? As long as it's a game, there's nothing you can't beat!"
From what you just said, I feel that amnesia or resetting, mania and cross-dressing are all restrictions on me, that is, the difficulty of the game setting. Amnesia is to keep me in a state of ignorance, and mania is to make it difficult for me to maintain normality through drugs. As for cross-dressing... you said before that I have companions, so is cross-dressing so that my companions can't recognize me?
During this hour, I came to understand myself that I should be a strong man. In other people's eyes, I could never be a transvestite and pretend to be weak. In this case, my companions would not be able to recognize me, and I would not remember them.
The difficulty the game set for me, or rather the state it wanted me to be in, was that I would be trapped alone in this hospital room, unable to remember anything until the end of the game."
The mirror moved in front of Xing Ye, reflecting his playful expression. The mirror said, "Why do I feel like you don't find it difficult at all? Instead, you're eager to try it?"
"Of course!" Xing Ye smiled. "The higher the difficulty, the more interesting it is. Besides, the game didn't expect you to be by my side at all. You were just placed on the dressing table, which saved me more than ten hours. Let's go out and find someone now."
"Looking for your companions?" said the mirror. "But I don't know if their appearance will change. I won't recognize them."
Xing Ye said: "The appearance will change. This time the restrictions... It seems that the game I am participating in is a game where the body and even the world view will change at each level. Moreover, there is more than one player in this game. Having companions means there may be enemies. This will make people timid and even more afraid to look for people.
But it doesn't matter, it's fun to look for people you don't remember or know.
Yesterday I had a manic episode more than ten hours later, and today the time is uncertain, but it is best to find a companion before the attack so that I don't have to inject sedatives once the attack occurs.
Yesterday, I made a mistake. I didn't know it was a game, nor did I know there were other players. I ignored a few people I met late at night, and when I found out during the day, there were too many people to recognize.
If you are a fellow player, you will definitely appear at night to gather information. There are also parasites, one of which will appear every night.
So the probability of finding the key clue at night is quite high, but of course it is also possible to directly game over, so it is worth the challenge."
After saying that, Xing Ye put on a casual short skirt from her wardrobe, which looked a bit like a tennis skirt, paired with a pair of sneakers for easy movement, put the mirror in a sports crossbody bag, and tied a refreshing ponytail.
"Why are you still wearing women's clothes?" The mirror said in surprise, "Didn't you say that there are companions who are going to find them?"
Xing Ye said, "First, since the game is difficult, it would be pointless for me to escape. Second, women give the impression of being slightly weaker, while my own strength is obviously very strong. This will allow the enemy or parasite to relax their guard and give them a surprise attack. We should still take advantage of what we can."
Mirror:"..."
That's enough. Just say that you like women's clothing. In the first world, didn't you say no but dress up enthusiastically?
