However, Bai Xi didn't dwell on the issue for too long, but something just felt off.
But the next second, she saw... herself.
"?"
Bai Xi stared at the other 'Bai Xi' who looked exactly like her, even in the same illusory state, and her mind went blank.
But she was always very vigilant, and before 'Bai Xi' could speak, a book of magical artifacts had already appeared in her hand.
She would not hesitate to attack if the phantom opposite her made any move to get closer to her.
Because the clothes she was wearing were no different from those seen in the magic mirror, she doubted whether the illusion in front of her was a figment of the mirror's imagination.
However, judging from the expression on his face, it doesn't quite look like it.
It's more like the Eros seen at the altar.
The person in the mirror was cold and aloof, exuding divinity, but the person in front of her had a vibrant and infectious smile, and seemed... to be much better in personality than her.
"Sure enough, I used to be very wary."
'Bai Xi' rubbed her temples with a headache, as if getting close to Bai Xi was a difficult problem to solve.
"?"
Bai Xi was taken aback, still not quite understanding what she was saying.
"Hey, don't be so wary, I'm your future self."
'Bai Xi' said so.
"Are you Eros?"
Bai Xi asked uncertainly.
She wanted an answer.
"Yes, you are Eros."
The other side nodded. From a third-person perspective, the scene in the room looked very eerie, like two ghosts who looked alike were chatting.
Only Eros knew that Bessie was an undead, while she was a projection.
"What? What do you want to do?"
Bai Xi felt as if she had discovered part of the truth.
"Of course, it's about teaching you how to survive. Isn't that your biggest worry right now?"
Eros said matter-of-factly.
"...I am already dead."
Bai Xi was speechless.
"Hmm... that's how to resurrect."
Eros paused for a moment before speaking.
"good."
Bai Xi nodded, feeling it seemed quite credible, and decided to listen.
Although she was suspicious, the guy in front of her seemed fine, without any hostility or murderous intent, and even a little warm.
"However, you know there are two obstacles on your path to survival."
Eros said.
"The Abyss of Tartarus?"
Bai Xi hesitated.
Because this was the only one she could think of; she couldn't think of another one at all.
"It's the shackles this world has placed on you."
Eros stared intently into Bai Xi's eyes, as if this was more important than Tartarus.
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Xi couldn't understand.
"You've seen that mirror, so do you know what you'll look like in the future?"
Eros kept asking questions, leaving Bai Xi even more confused. She thought she was quite smart and quick-witted when it came to figuring out conspiracies, but she was stumped by his questions and felt a little embarrassed.
"Then how did you end up in front of me?"
Bai Xi was a little curious. In the future, she should be Eros, so how could she possibly smile if she became that indifferent person?
And it seems that Eros's emotions are more abundant and his feelings are more complete than hers.
Although it's unclear why she appeared in the original history.
Perhaps it's due to some kind of time travel ability...
After all, even beings like the Time Demon exist, so time travel sounds pretty normal.
"Of course you won!"
Eros snapped his fingers and looked at Bai Xi with a smile.
"...How do we win...?"
Bai Xi was speechless.
Will my future self enjoy speaking in riddles so much that their speech is ambiguous and incomprehensible?
They didn't give her a definite answer or tell her what to do.
"In short, you can't lose your emotions. Of course, my best advice is for you to get into a relationship."
Eros frowned, seemingly unable to offer a concrete solution, and simply said this to Bai Xi.
"?"
Bai Xi was speechless again.
Are you serious?
She's barely alive right now, and whether she can be resurrected is another question. And now her future self is asking her to have a relationship? Is this guy serious?
I don't have the time or energy to date.
Bai Xi now suspects that Eros is just teasing her.
"I'm not kidding. You really need to go and have a relationship. You don't have to be hung up on one person. Having a few more is fine too. In short, it's good to enrich your emotional life."
Seeing that Bai Xi was a bit unyielding, Eros became somewhat anxious and was no longer as nonchalant as he had been at the beginning.
"Hmm... Of course, don't provoke too many people, or it will cause a little trouble."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and mumbled something under her breath, which Bai Xi barely heard.
"You went to all this trouble to see me, just to urge me to find a girlfriend? I really..."
Bai Xi couldn't understand Eros's thought process at all. If they were really the same person, how could this happen? They should be telepathically connected.
Haven't you noticed that you've become increasingly indifferent?
Suddenly, Eros put on a serious expression, which made Bai Xi, who was in a state of bewilderment, feel a little uncomfortable.
"In this dog-eat-dog world, if I continue to be kind as before, wouldn't that be tantamount to waiting to die..."
Bai Xi almost laughed out of anger, and subconsciously began to retort, but she suddenly froze when she got to the last sentence.
While that is indeed the case, she seems to have changed quite a bit; the changes are subtle and not so easy to notice.
But if, as Eros said, there really is some conspiracy...
"You noticed it too, didn't you?"
Eros smiled again, feeling proud of his sensitivity.
"I see."
Bai Xi pondered for a moment, then revealed a determined expression. In any case, it wasn't a difficult suggestion to accept. Regardless of whether what Eros said was true or not, there shouldn't be any cost in trying it.
Without jeopardizing her interests or taking up too much of her time, you can add a task for yourself: to feel emotions.
"Great, mission accomplished. I've also sent you a few big gift packages, please check them out~"
Eros achieved his goal, and his mood visibly improved considerably; he even had the mood to joke with Bai Xi.
All that's left is one task: to get my body back.
But even if she didn't say it, Bai Xi would definitely succeed, against those minions of the abyss...
It's absolutely impossible to defeat yourself.
In the limited time available, she was determined to say the most important thing: she didn't want the world to succeed and turn her into a puppet like El.
A god devoid of emotion might be better suited to the workings of this world, but not to her.
