Chapter 121 Existence

On the other side, Shen Ji put on a mask and wandered slowly in the city lord's mansion, passing through the garden and the courtyard.

He picked up a sword that fell on the ground and wandered to the gate of Wu Yan's yard.

He kicked the door open. He

bumped into Wu Yan who was packing his bag and preparing to leave.

Shen Ji smiled.

He put the sword on Wu Yan's neck.

"Let's settle our accounts."

Shen Ji walked forward, and Wu Yan retreated. The bag fell to the ground, and the gold and silver jewelry were scattered all over the ground. Pearls rolled out and slid into the grass.

Until Wu Yan had no way to retreat, he saw Shen Ji was a little scared.

"You are... Shen Ji."

A laugh came from under the mask, and Wu Yan felt goosebumps when he heard it.

Shen Ji raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face to reveal that face.

The red mole on the side of his nose made Wu Yan a little dazed, as if he saw that person in the past.

How did he get rid of Shen Xiu?

He used many methods on Shen Ji to separate him from Shen Xiu.

Talismans, formations, sorcery...

He tried them all, but it was useless, all useless.

After trying all the means, he began to ponder why it was useless.

All the methods failed, which was enough to explain two problems.

Either he was not good enough, or Shen Xiu was not a monster at all.

Maybe he himself came from Shen Ji.

It was not until later that he discovered that the memories of Shen Xiu and Shen Ji did not coexist.

There is only one person who can completely control this body, and when one of them controls this body, the other person does not know, that is to say, no matter what this person does at this time, the other person will be unaware.

The only way they can communicate is through a mirror, or something that can reflect reflections, such as water.

He once wondered if there was a double soul in Shen Ji's body, but later verified that it was not.

There is only his own soul in Shen Ji's body.

But Shen Xiu really exists, and Wu Yan has seen it with his own eyes.

Shen Ji speaks to himself in the mirror, and the two have very different personalities.

Shen Ji is quiet, and Shen Xiu is more lively.

...

Shen Ji was not very clear about his feelings for Shen Xiu.

He always doubted whether his feelings for Shen Xiu were love or not, because compared to love, he felt that it was more like a dependence, a sustenance.

Shen Xiu gave him all the feelings he wanted.

It was also as Shen Xiu said at the beginning, he did not have much love, and only had enough for Shen Ji. It was

just that the time was too short, so short that Shen Ji had just adapted, and then Shen Xiu was gone.

Many times when Shen Ji woke up in the middle of the night, he would sit in front of the mirror, reach out and touch his face, and his fingertips would finally stay on the red mole on the side of his nose.

He would also whisper Shen Xiu, but Shen Xiu could not hear him.

The person who would smile and call him young master never appeared in the mirror again.

He had told others about Shen Xiu at first, but no one believed in the existence of Shen Xiu. As time went by, the existence of Shen Xiu became a rumor that he was crazy.

He never doubted the truth of Shen Xiu's existence, because he was the best proof of Shen Xiu's existence.

Wu Yan originally found that sometimes the person in this body was not Shen Ji, but Shen Xiu, so he thought of killing Shen Xiu.

The most important person in Liyang City is Shen Ji, but if Shen Ji and Shen Xiu existed in the same body at the same time, the city lord would be scared.

But so many methods were useless, and in the end Wu Yan could only let Shen Xiu kill himself.

Shen Xiu originally wanted to run away, just like when he ran out of that bandit mountain.

But when Wu Yan mentioned Shen Ji's family, Shen Xiu hesitated.

They were Shen Ji's family.

Although the love they gave to Shen Ji was heavy, they loved Shen Ji.

Even Shen Ji himself said that he never hated his parents. Even if all the pressure was placed on him, he never thought of hating them.

People are so complicated. No matter how tired they are, they can't be cruel to their loved ones.

Shen Xiu and Shen Ji share the same body. Shen Xiu can escape with Shen Ji and survive, but the Shen family is such a big family, it is impossible for them to leave quietly.

There is no way to take them away.

Shen Ji felt that Shen Xiu was very strange that day.

He talked a lot. Although he usually loved to chatter non-stop, but that day, the feeling he gave Shen Ji was different.

Shen Xiu was talking, and suddenly paused, looked at Shen Ji outside the mirror with some apology and asked.

"Will I be noisy?"

Shen Ji shook his head.

"No, why do you think so?"

Shen Ji never thought Shen Xiu was noisy. He liked the way Shen Xiu talked endlessly in front of him, and he never thought he was noisy. Whenever he saw Shen Xiu talking nonstop in front of him, he felt very relieved.

Yes, it was relief.

Since entering the City Lord's Mansion, he has not received much news about the Shen family.

Shen Ji does not trust anyone here, and Shen Xiu is his only comfort.

But after that day, Shen Xiu never showed up again. No matter how he called, it was useless. Shen Xiu disappeared without leaving any trace.

Because Shen Xiu never existed in reality, until later, Wu Yan came to see Shen Ji.

Wu Yan had a satisfied smile on his face, and Shen Ji immediately guessed that Wu Yan must have done something.

But when Shen Xiu used his body, Shen Ji didn't know, and in his memory, Wu Yan didn't do anything at all.

He couldn't even find any evidence that Wu Yan had attacked Shen Xiu.

There were no traces of formations, nor were there any remnants of spells...

He could never figure out how Wu Yan had made Shen Xiu disappear.

But he could never guess that Wu Yan had used no means at all, and just a few words made Shen Xiu give up on him.

"If you don't die, then Shen Ji will die with you, including his parents, relatives, and family. No one can escape, one by one. Are you willing to bear such a price?"

Wu Yan smiled.

"Or, are you willing to let him bear such a price?"

Shen Xiu was like a passer-by who had hurriedly intruded into Shen Ji's life. After only walking with him for a short distance, he let go of his hand and hurried away again.

So fast that Shen Ji didn't even have time to catch him.

Shen Xiu understood that he could never give Shen Ji happiness. Apart from verbal comfort, he could not give Shen Ji anything. They could not even touch each other.

Every time he reached out his hand to each other, he was met with either a cold mirror or rippling water.

Shen Ji reached out and hugged himself, just like hugging Shen Xiu.

...

"I am Shen Xiu."

Shen Ji's words were cold. Wu Yan leaned against the wall with his back, unable to retreat. He looked at the long sword that Shen Ji held on his neck with fear in his eyes.

He was afraid that Shen Ji's hand would shake and wipe his neck.

"Young Master Shen, don't be obsessed with it. Shen Xiu doesn't exist at all."

Shen Ji threw the mask on the ground.

"Have you seen Shen Xiu?"

Wu Yan looked at the red mole on the side of Shen Ji's nose. The red mole used to appear when Shen Xiu controlled his body.

But later, Shen Xiu passed away, and the red mole never appeared again.

In the end, Shen Ji himself painted a red mole on that spot. If Shen Ji's temperament was not so different from Shen Xiu's, Wu Yan might really think that the person in front of him was Shen Xiu.

Seeing that Wu Yan didn't say anything, Shen Ji's sword moved forward a little bit. Wu Yan raised his hands, closed his eyes and spoke quickly.

"I have seen him, I have seen him!"

"You have seen him, how can he not exist?"
