Chapter 127 Guess Who I Am
When Lin Han regained consciousness, he was floating in a completely dark ocean, just like many times before.
He saw this place as an ocean of consciousness.
When he leaves here, he will be able to open his eyes again and start a new day in the copy.
It has been a long time since he stayed here for such a long time.
The last time he seemed to be forced to listen to the murmur of "Why?", he was able to escape successfully at that time because of the guidance given by Alfred, but this time, he didn't hear any sound, and naturally there was no sound of Alfred calling him.
It seems safe here.
He seemed to be floating in the air, or swaying in the water.
My body couldn't touch anything, and my hands couldn't hold anything. I just felt a slight chill all over my body, and I was always swaying slightly.
Frankly speaking, it's a very comfortable feeling.
Ever since he started modeling, Lin Han has always been in a hurry.
He couldn't even stay here, as he would have to move on to a new day soon after his death.
After he began to feel the pain of other villains, this rush seemed to take him to new pain.
In the [One Day] dungeon, he rarely had such quiet time.
The pain he felt appeared long after he began to shape himself. He was forced to experience the suffering of those little people; but after he healed himself and discarded all the physical characteristics that did not belong to him, the pain seemed to go away with him.
Lin Han was so exhausted at that time that he considered the weakness in his body as part of the pain.
Looking back now, I realize the differences.
Because he chose the wrong path, even the pain was the feedback given to him by the wrong choice.
He raised his hand. Although he was in darkness and everything outside was dark, and he couldn't see his own hand, he pinched the tip of his right index finger with his left fingers.
Soft flesh wrapped around really solid bones, and formed armor plates.
He had never noticed before that in this dark river of consciousness, his body was not that of a child, nor that of a shriveled old man. He was in his most original form when he entered the [One Day] copy.
He is still a very healthy adult.
He was silent, and this place was silent too.
No one made a sound.
But Lin Han knew that someone was watching him.
Lin Han was only chosen by the giant once in this copy. Apart from that, he seemed to be just like everyone else, neither outstanding nor the most ordinary among the countless villains.
He was a middle-of-the-roader, and apart from Alfred who talked to him every day, almost no one paid attention to him.
But Alfred said someone was watching him, so he couldn't go easy on Lin Han, and couldn't listen to his pleading and interrupt the styling.
When Lin Han thought he was simply repeating himself over and over again, trying his best to make himself more like Jiang Xuchen every day, the eyes of those who would judge whether he could stand out among the countless villains had already fallen on him.
"You haven't seen him, have you?"
Lin Han let go of his hand and casually placed it on himself.
He surrendered to the power of the invisible current, letting it take him wherever it wanted.
Still no response in the darkness.
Lin Han was not in a hurry either.
He thought for a moment, then continued calmly, "Not long ago, I carried him on my back for more than ten minutes."
Lin Han has lost control of time as he has come back again and again. He has no idea how many days it has been since he came in, and naturally he doesn't know how long ago that day was. He just casually puts it as "not long ago".
No one paid any attention to him.
For a relatively brief few minutes, it seemed as if he was talking to himself.
"He lay on my back and cried."
Lin Han recalled the scene at that time, as if he felt the water stain on his back again.
The clothes he wore were thin, and he felt it almost the moment they were soaked, but he kept moving forward without stopping, as if he didn't notice anything unusual at all, and he could still talk calmly with Shen Qiuqiu who was walking with him.
"I asked him if he drooled while sleeping, and he jumped up and down like a kitten whose tail was stepped on." Lin Han said, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he saw Jiang Xuchen blushing and refuting him at that time.
"He seemed to have forgotten. He lay on my back for a long time without moving. If he wasn't drooling, he would have been secretly crying."
"I knew it from the beginning."
"He's very well behaved. Although he's always lazy and wants everyone to pamper him, and even walking is tiring, he's still a very polite and well-behaved child. He won't fall asleep on me and drool all over me. He just cries secretly and pretends to be asleep."
"I could carry him around. He's small and wouldn't be uncomfortable, but he insisted on crawling onto my back. Because in the last instance, his brother was very close to me, and he probably could sense his presence on me."
Lin Han was the only one speaking in the darkness, and until this moment there was still no response.
It seemed as if he was really the only one here, and no one was watching him as he had imagined.
But is it really like that?
"You saw him in my memory, right?"
I saw him cry, I saw him laugh, I saw him occasionally turn his head to wink at people while walking, I saw him spend most of his time clinging to people and refusing to touch the ground...
Those moments when Lin Han and Jiang Xuchen spent time together, the tone and voice of his voice, how he shone like a golden doll in the sunlight.
In countless cardboard boxes, under the eternally burning ceiling lights and the dazzling crystal pendants, those little figures who resemble Jiang Xuchen a little or a little, or seven or eight points, also shine like this day after day.
To him, Lin Han was a defenseless person, and he could easily find the fragments and images he needed from his memory.
He happens to be a little similar to him, so because of this similarity, he pays special attention to him and feels a little pity for him. He can't help but wonder what it would be like if he was a little more similar?
As they looked more and more alike, that little bit of pity was gradually wiped out by the growing malice.
Lin Han could almost imagine him mumbling "Why" as she looked at his increasingly dark eyes in the cardboard box.
Strange brother, strange situation.
Lin Han didn't know why their relationship had evolved into what it was today, but he knew that only since he looked nothing like Jiang Xuchen could he have such a normal conversation with him.
"I haven't seen him grow up," Lin Han's words seemed to echo in the dark space. "Do you want to see?"
"Do you want to see it?"
"Do you want to see it?"
......
The endless stream of questions did not come from Lin Han.
The sound lingered, becoming smaller and smaller, but just as clear.
Lin Han still chose to ask him, just like Alfred chose to ask him before taking him away.
He could have simply used the experience card and he would have definitely been selected.
[One Day] This "brother" in the copy was just like Yin Yue. They were both curious about Jiang Xuchen. They both met the Jiang Xuchen they had been thinking about through Lin Han, and they couldn't resist the temptation.
But Lin Han was afraid of any extra trouble, so even though he still had three experience cards given to him by the dean, he was reluctant to waste them.
Thinking of this, Lin Han also thought of Ling Yueqing, the woman whose appearance he could not remember at all whenever he lowered his head. She was their mother, but it was obvious that everyone he had met before did not care about her.
Their obsession is not on their relatives, but simply fixed on Jiang Xuchen, like an anchor that never changes.
There might be other ways to pass the level, but Lin Han knew this was enough and didn't want to think about anything else.
He asked Alfred, and Alfred said it was okay, so he could do what he wanted.
"think."
Looking around, it was all the same black, but Lin Han heard a familiar voice from it.
The voice of the man who had been repeating "Why" in his ear finally uttered new words.
A faint light appeared in the darkness, guiding Lin Han in the right direction.
His body was like a small boat, floating towards the light spot nearby. Gradually, he seemed to leave the water again, floating up like a kite, getting closer and closer to the light spot. The gradually brightening light made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.
When his eyes could see again, the light in front of his eyes gradually dimmed, and finally turned into the crystal chandelier that Lin Han had seen many times and was very familiar with.
It seemed as if there was wind blowing, and the pendants swayed slightly, flashing exceptionally bright colorful spots of light.
Looking down, I see the familiar walls and floor.
Lin Han returned to the cardboard box, but everything was different.
Lin Han was no longer lying on the spacious and comfortable bed, and her vision was not blocked by the bed curtain. There was not even a bed in the cardboard box, nor any other furniture or decorations.
His mirror was also missing, as he still wanted to see what he looked like.
Some are strange, some are not used to it.
But Lin Han was still wearing his nightgown that changed with his body size, but he was just sitting on a small stool.
It was a very ordinary stool, even the grain of the wood was not smoothed out. Lin Han only needed to lift a corner of her nightgown to see the stool legs which were not round.
Next to him was another similar low stool, on which sat a person much older than him, wearing the same nightgown as him.
The first thing Lin Han saw was his feet.
He was barefoot, and his toes, exposed ankles, and a small part of his calves were all bloodless. Compared to the warm limbs and white skin with a rosy glow, the person in front of him looked more like a cold stone.
Just by looking at him, Lin Han seemed to have felt the faint chill emanating from him.
Lin Han looked up again and met the man's blank face.
There was nothing on his face, no sunken eye sockets and no prominent nose bridge. It was almost a blank plane attached to the skull. From any angle, it was probably flat.
But this face was looking at him.
He can feel it.
Lin Han's curiosity was choked in his throat for a moment, and he felt a little scared belatedly, which made him unable to help but move back a little, as if this could avoid the danger in front of him.
[Daily Assessment Dungeon - One day, cleared.]
【New World thanks you for your contribution.】
At the same moment, Lin Han heard the voice reminding him to pass the level.
The familiar voice of Alfred gave him a brief moment of peace of mind.
But he didn't even have time to do anything, nor did he use the experience card he was going to use. The moment he saw the person in the empty room, he passed the level.
Lin Han suddenly understood the meaning of "standing out".
Among so many villains, none of them had ever left their room like Lin Han, so naturally no one had ever seen this person.
As soon as he opened his eyes here, he was already different from all the villains.
Lin Han looked at the man again. His face was still blank, and he was still looking at him with his head tilted in the same posture as at the beginning.
Lin Han saw that his lips were moving, and although there was no crack, he still made a sound.
"I want to see it."
Lin Han was silent.
The moment he sees him, he will complete the level. Hasn't he ever thought that he might not see anything before this copy ends?
"You won't lie to me."
He seemed to be able to hear Lin Han's thoughts and quickly answered Lin Han's questions.
In response, Lin Han crushed the experience card in his hand: "Do you need me to stand up?"
Standing up, he could see better.
He shook his head: "Just sit down."
Lin Han even heard a smile in these four words, and he was very happy.
So Lin Han didn't move.
The sound of the card breaking is very crisp, and it turns into tiny points of light and disappears.
Lin Han couldn't see his own face. There was no mirror for him to see his changes. He could only see his hands.
His hands and feet seemed to have changed in an instant, becoming completely different from when he first saw them, but he didn't know how to describe it.
He was imagining himself becoming Jiang Xuchen.
This is Teacher Vivian's ability. He can transform into Jiang Xuchen's appearance as he imagines.
His hands and feet gradually changed, from the tenderness of a child to the delicate and slenderness of a young man. Just by sitting, his perspective gradually became higher. He no longer needed to look up to meet the face of the person next to him, who was even taller than him.
Strands of golden hair fell from his shoulders, onto his chest and legs, and down his arms to the ground.
This was the first time in this copy that he truly turned into Jiang Xuchen.
Although there was no mirror in front of him, he just grabbed his long golden hair that would probably reach his ankles when he stood up, and he knew that the person next to him who was a head shorter than him would look like his beloved younger brother.
Lin Han tilted her head to look at him without saying another word.
Alfred said that Teacher Vivian was very good at disguising herself, and probably even her voice could be imitated.
But at this moment, some words should not come out of his mouth.
"I... need to grow taller."
Lin Han heard him say this.
Lin Han, who had just woken up in this room, still looked like a young child. He was just sitting there, but he looked particularly tall in Lin Han's eyes. It was not until now that Lin Han had grown up that he could see that the body next to him was not very tall, and was even a little short.
Lin Han heard his sigh and the sound of something breaking. He lowered his head and saw fine cracks spreading across the man's pale limbs, like a prelude to growth, gradually tearing apart his originally stable body.
It looked painful, but no blood came out.
Lin Han lost his vision again amidst such sighs and crisp shattering sounds, as if falling into a whirlpool, and his consciousness was cut off in an instant.
......
“Guess who I am!”
Lin Han heard two childish voices in a trance. When he opened his eyes slowly, he saw two Jiang Xuchen standing in front of him.
Two fluffy blond children came up to him. They looked exactly the same except that the one on the right was dragging a brown bear in his hand.
Seeing Lin Han open his eyes, they moved closer.
“Guess who I am!”
It only took Lin Han a second to realize that one of them was the real Jiang Xuchen, and the other was Vivian, whose abilities he had just experienced.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two Jiang Xuchens who were deliberately winking at him cutely, raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm a little hungry and want to go eat. I can take the two Chenchens with me on the way. So who wants me to carry them?"
Jiang Xuchen, who was holding the little bear, stuffed the bear into the arms of another self next to him, came forward and gently put his arm around Lin Han, and whispered, "I want to."
Lin Han patted his head and turned to look at Jiang Xuchen, who was standing there blankly holding the teddy bear. "Teacher Vivian, what about you?"
"Hmph!" Vivian pursed her lips and snorted, then turned and walked out. As she walked, she turned back into her own self, her gorgeous puffy skirt swaying and her little boots making a clattering sound. "I'll walk by myself!"
