Chapter 120
Feng Jihan was woken up by Cen Xun in a daze. When he opened his eyes and saw the beautiful face so close to him, he thought in a trance that he was still in the midsummer of a few years ago.
Her skin was as smooth and delicate as snow, her amber eyes were clear and translucent hidden under her long eyelashes, and her soft black hair hung down, tickling his neck and causing a slight itch.
Feng Jihan actually didn't hear clearly what Cen Xun said. Seeing Cen Xun pushing his chest and teasing him, he subconsciously hugged him in his arms.
"Did you hear what I said?" Cen Xun asked him speechlessly. Perhaps because his voice became clear, it actually sounded a bit like a coquettish act.
Feng Jihan rubbed his head, feeling as if he was surrounded by happiness: "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
"I say, let's hurry up and check your background." Cen Xun raised his head to look at him. Because the corners of his eyes were slightly rounded, even his gaze became less sharp, and instead appeared a little innocent: "If you wait any longer, I will become even smaller."
Being looked at by him in this way, Feng Jihan felt that even if Cen Xun wanted the moon in the sky at this moment, he would have to build a ladder to pick the moon down. He immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"What time is it?" Feng Jihan only just remembered this question at this moment. He stretched out his arm, opened his phone to check the time, and said in surprise: "It's only a little after eight o'clock. You woke up so early today?"
Cen Xun raised his eyebrows: "Being young does have its advantages, doesn't it?"
As he spoke, he took away Feng Jihan's arm that was around his waist, and in front of Feng Jihan, he boldly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He was wearing Feng Jihan's shirt, the empty hem was clearly visible, and the fingerprints left last night were faintly visible.
Cen Xun himself didn't seem to notice this. He walked into the bathroom calmly despite Feng Jihan's deep gaze.
Cen Xun's face was reflected in the mirror. Cen Xun turned on the faucet and rinsed his fingers under the running water. He lowered his eyes and said to himself, "Second brother is still too conceited. No matter what, he shouldn't have stepped into my strange domain before I died."
Feng Jihan poked his head in from the doorway: "Are you talking to me?"
Cen Xun turned his back to him, wiping his hands while glancing at him in the mirror: "I'm giving my victory speech."
"Really?" Feng Jihan leaned against the door and didn't leave, his eyes scanning the mirror. He didn't forget what Cen Xun said last night. He said that his true self was in the mirror.
Thinking of this, Feng Jihan squeezed to Cen Xun's side, reached out and touched the mirror, and saw nothing unusual, so he asked Cen Xun: "Can your true form come out?"
"Of course not." Cen Xun looked at Feng Jihan in surprise: "Otherwise, how do you think the mirror body can simulate the mirror level and mirror power."
"It's said to be a mirror image, so the real person must be standing opposite the mirror." Cen Xun said leisurely.
Feng Jihan had a bad feeling: "If I can't leave the mirror on my own initiative, how can I get my true self out?"
Cen Xun's eyes deepened slightly: "Unless the mirror image dies, the real body will be trapped in the mirror forever."
"Feng Jihan was speechless for a moment.
He remembered that night when Cen Xun came to see him, and they returned home together with cake. Feng Jihan was very sure that Cen Xun was still his original form at that time.
But the next day, Cen Xun who appeared was the mirror image.
In other words, long before setting out to capture the Walker, Cen Xun was certain that he would face a life-or-death crisis in the upcoming capture operation, otherwise he would not have dared to lock himself in the mirror and change out his mirror image.
Isn't he afraid that he might make a mistake in his deduction and be trapped in the mirror forever?!
Even Feng Jihan was frightened by this desperate madness.
He asked Cen Xun in disbelief: "Does the original body know what's happening outside?"
Cen Xun said calmly, "The memories between my original body and the mirror image are not synchronized. Only after I die will the events that happened during this period of time be synchronized to my original body's memory."
Feng Jihan was stunned. "In other words, your true self is now stuck in the mirror, completely clueless. You don't know how far things have progressed, and you don't know how long you have to wait before you're released."
Cen Xun admitted: "Yes."
Feng Jihan really admired him. Not only was he cruel to others, he was also so cruel to himself.
Cen Xun looked at Feng Jihan's expression and put his arm around his neck: "You feel sorry for me."
Feng Jihan frowned in disapproval, pressed his shoulder and pushed him away a little: "How could you do this? It's too outrageous!"
Seeing that he was really angry this time, Cen Xun coaxed him, "Okay, I know you can recognize me. If that doesn't work, you can always kill the mirror image."
Unexpectedly, this sentence only added fuel to the fire. Feng Jihan's face looked even uglier after hearing it. He pulled down Cen Xun's arm that was hooked around his neck and said through gritted teeth, "You want me to do this to you? Have you ever considered how I would feel?"
Cen Xun blinked and turned to hold Feng Jihan's hand. Feng Jihan dodged and walked out with a bad look on his face.
Cen Xun found him in the kitchen. Feng Jihan was making breakfast, fiddling with a fried egg with a spatula. Cen Xun hugged him from behind and stroked his strong chest: "Is the little bird angry?"
Feng Jihan said with a stern face: "You didn't even discuss such a dangerous thing with me in advance. You don't have me in your heart at all."
"If I tell you, you definitely won't agree." Seeing that Feng Jihan was unmoved, Cen Xun slowed down his voice and coaxed him: "I promise, I will tell you in advance next time, okay?"
Feng Jihan still said nothing and mechanically flipped the fried eggs.
When Cen Xun saw this scene, he suddenly blurted out, "I want to be number one."
Feng Jihan's spatula shook, and he almost lost his grip. He finally responded, "Why are you suddenly..."
"Oh, I want to test whether you are a human-machine." Cen Xun said calmly: "It seems not."
Feng Jihan: ""
Cen Xun pinched his chest muscles and naturally made a request: "I want to eat two fried eggs today."
Feng Jihan thought, what is there to eat? He is still angry.
But the body still honestly made an extra fried egg.
When Cen Xun ate the fried eggs made by Feng Jihan again, he felt as if he was in another world.
Feng Jihan saw him stop after taking a bite and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Cen Xun smiled and said, "Nothing, just thinking about life."
"By the way," Cen Xun said, "Where can I find out your background? Do you have any idea?"
Feng Jihan had a clear idea: "Let's go to the old research institute first and see if there's any video of the gene injection experiment on me in the system. However, after the research institute moved, all the data in the system was cleared, and the video is likely to have been deleted. If it's not there, we can go to the new research institute on the island to check."
Cen Xun nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Feng Jihan drove Cen Xun to the old site of the closed research institute. Cen Xun liked to open the windows to enjoy the breeze. As usual, he opened the car window and heard Feng Jihan beside him suddenly whisper, "Brother, if I really wasn't human, would you still like me?"
Cen Xun didn't expect Feng Jihan to still be entangled in this. He turned around and squinted his eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about again?"
"I didn't say anything even though you turned into a bird." Cen Xun leaned his head back against the headrest, closed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a god or a human, as long as it's you."
No matter what Feng Jihan becomes, he can't escape from his control.
Thinking of this, Cen Xun held Feng Jihan's hand on the gear lever. Feng Jihan said that it would affect driving, but he did not take his hand back immediately.
"But are you so confident in leaving the Ghost Domain to Time?" To distract attention, Feng Jihan changed the subject: "Aren't you afraid that he will ruin your new project?"
It’s not that Feng Jihan has a filter for Cen Xun. Objectively speaking, [Time]’s work ability and imaginative ability to stir up trouble are definitely not as good as Cen Xun’s, so Feng Jihan is very worried that [Time] will ruin Cen Xun’s reputation.
Cen Xun, however, didn't take it seriously. He lazily said while enjoying the breeze, "He pays for the points and does the work, but the final decision-making power still lies with me."
Besides, Nightmare University now has no rivals in the entire Nightmare World. Without any peers to compare with, even if the project is done badly, how bad can it be?
Cen Xun felt that the sun was a bit too glaring, so he put on sunglasses and fully enjoyed his work-free holiday.
"Who made this plan? I've told you several times! This isn't the effect I want. Go back and redo it!"
An increasingly violent voice came from the principal's office, and then a strange monster crawled out.
People outside were whispering, "Is Principal Shi angry again?"
"Well, just telling him to change it without telling him what he wants to feel, it's difficult to deal with."
"Principal Cen is still the best. Sigh, although Principal Cen is quite scary when he gets angry, I still miss him."
At this moment, a ghost rushed into the office and reported to [Time] in a horrified manner, "Oh no, Principal Shi, your seventh brother just collapsed another building!"
[Time] Hearing this, the corner of his eye twitched violently.
[Qisha] didn't know what kind of magic potion Cen Xun had poured into him, but he kept making a fuss and insisted on having a fight with Cen Xun. Later, he found out from someone that Cen Xun had been plotted against by him, and he became even more furious, and tried every possible way to make things difficult for him.
He smashes a building today and refuses to cooperate with a development project tomorrow. If he keeps talking about it, this guy will catch him and beat him like a mad bull.
[Time] once questioned [Seven Evils] why he had to pick on him, but he didn't expect [Seven Evils] to scold him for winning unfairly and call him "a villain more despicable and shameless than Fourth Brother", which made [Time] very angry.
Unfortunately, due to the constraints of the contract, [Time] cannot kill [Seven Evils] before the end of the project.
In just two days, [Time] was already filled with anger.
The principal's office was bright and spacious. [Time] had successfully usurped the position of Domain Lord that belonged to Cen Xun, but he no longer felt the smugness he had when he first stepped into the office. Instead, he was filled with annoyance.
[Time] The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He felt as if he had fallen into a trap, so he called Tong Ming over and asked him about Cen Xun's whereabouts with an expressionless face.
"Oh, ask Fourth Brother," Tong Ming replied casually, "Where else could he be? Of course, he's with the atheist."
[Time] Liangliang said: "I'm asking what he is doing."
Tong Ming couldn't tell him: Thanks to you for helping Fourth Brother with the work, and because of you carrying the heavy burden, Fourth Brother is now enjoying a wonderful vacation with his ex-husband. Wouldn't that make [Time] mad to death?
So Tong Ming said tactfully, "The atheist took Fourth Brother to the research institute early in the morning."
"Research Institute?" Time narrowed his eyes, finally becoming interested. "Could it be that the atheists took advantage of Old Four's weakened state and took him to the research institute for an autopsy?"
It was then that Tong Ming suddenly realized that [Time] didn't seem to understand the relationship between Cen Xun and Feng Jihan very well, and his impression of Feng Jihan was still that of "the fourth brother's mortal enemy". When he heard that Cen Xun was brought by Feng Jihan, he, the silly second brother, was secretly happy.
Tong Ming thought about it and laughed: "Fourth brother did experience something very thrilling at the research institute, and he is very angry now."
The follower couldn't lie to the Domain Lord. After hearing firsthand that Cen Xun wasn't doing well, Time's frustration finally dissipated a bit. He leaned back in his chair and said, half sarcastically, "Old Fourth, you've been smart all your life, but you probably never thought you'd end up like this."
Tong Ming smiled silently and left the office. He immediately sent a message to Zhou Mian: "Hahahaha, you have no idea how funny my second brother is! I really want to see how broken he gets when he finds out the truth!"
Zhou Mian replied with a string of ellipsis, and a moment later sent the next message: "Stop talking so much nonsense, you're attracting too much hatred. When he goes crazy, you'll be the first one to be sacrificed to the gods."
Tong Ming asked in disbelief, "Is this true?"
Zhou Mian was silent for a few minutes before he replied slowly, "Shouldn't I have reminded you?"
Tong Ming typed in a frivolous manner: "You care about me, which means you have me in your heart. Leave the door open for me tonight, and I will definitely go and thank you."
Zhou Mian immediately replied with a "get lost" and then blocked him.
The collapsed building was eventually repaired by [Time]. Although [Time] was forced by Cen Xun into the new project, he refused to admit that his ability was worse than Cen Xun's. In addition, the income of the project was linked to his own points income. If he lost, he would even have to pay his own points.
But if [Time] were to return Cen Xun's power and give up his position as Domain Lord, [Time] would be extremely reluctant. After eating something, why would he spit it out? Therefore, [Time] was very dedicated to the new project. This way, when this damned project was over, he would be able to achieve point freedom and make that brainless idiot [Seven Evils] disappear from this world forever.
Eight meetings are held in one day to finalize the main content of the new theme. After the meetings, I go back and frantically review the multiple proposals submitted by various departments. After finally getting a break, I have to fight wits and courage with the [Seven Evils].
[Time] began to doubt his identity in this strange place.
He is the domain lord, right? How come he lives worse than cattle and horses?
Was this the kind of life that the fourth brother used to live?
Is the fourth child a workaholic?
How could the fourth brother bear it?
After asking his soul three questions, [Time] comforted himself that as long as he could get through this project, he would get hundreds of billions of points and be superior to all the monsters. Killing [Fate] would be easier than crushing an ant.
That’s right!
As for his fourth brother, he will die miserably in the research institute.
[Time] smiled, as if he had foreseen that future.
Inside the old site of the research institute, a large number of people with special abilities were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner.
The alarm flashed an ominous red light, and the shrill alarm sound echoed in the messy laboratory, seeming extremely strange.
Cen Xun grabbed a researcher's neck fiercely, lifted him up from the ground, and threw him heavily against the wall.
With a loud "bang", the entire wall collapsed.
Feng Jihan walked around the psychics lying on the ground, hugged him tightly, and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay now."
Cen Xun turned his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Not far away, the video that caused all the chaos played in a loop, returning to the starting point.
A group of researchers in white coats held down a child and injected countless potions into his body regardless of his struggles.
The child soon began to convulse violently and curled up in pain, but the researchers remained indifferent and continued to record indifferently.
After seeing this video, Cen Xun's desire to destroy humanity reached its peak again.
