In a research room, Kelly was mixing a colorful, unidentified liquid, her smile both eerie and insane.
The laboratory was surrounded by countless huge glass bottles, each containing an unidentified human-shaped object.
She used a syringe to inject the colorful liquid into one of the glass bottles. The human-shaped object soaking in the bottle was suddenly pulled out, and the liquid in the bottle gradually became cloudy, with dense bubbles appearing like sparkling water.
The glass was too cloudy to see the human body or objects inside.
Kelly stood with her arms crossed, waiting for her next work.
Half an hour later, the bubbles gradually disappeared, like soda that had been left out for a long time after the lid was opened, and then it became gas-free.
A loud bang!
The glass bottle shattered!
Glass shattered, and water spilled all over the floor.
The contents of the glass bottle revealed her full appearance.
This is a face exactly like Kelly's, and because it had just been immersed in water, its skin was even more delicate and smooth than Kelly's.
She opened her eyes, and they were heterochromatic, one black and one gray.
“I have another version of myself with the ability to see ghosts. I look forward to your performance.” Kelly stood to the side, her gaze as if admiring a work of art.
"Okay, my sister."
“Sister?” Kelly scoffed. “If you want to be my sister, you’d better behave yourself. Maybe I can really give you an ID card.”
...
In the airport's monitoring room, a man rubbed his eyes vigorously: "This person? Isn't he the one whose photo we were told to keep an eye on?"
"You must have seen wrong."
"Absolutely right, come and see, I'll zoom in for you."
The other person held up the photo for comparison, exclaiming, "This...how is this possible?"
"Do you think they might be twins?"
"No matter what the situation, report it first."
...
The special police unit obtained the surveillance photos, and the captain exclaimed incredulously, "Hasn't the person already been caught and sent to a special department?"
"Did a special department lose him?"
"Impossible. I received news yesterday that she is unconscious and is still lying in bed, being kept alive by intravenous nutrition."
"Captain, I noticed her eyes are different from the ones in the photo. They can't be the same person, right?"
"The eyes are different, but foreigners like to wear heterochromatic contact lenses, so it's possible that they are just wearing contact lenses."
"No, this doesn't seem like the effect of contact lenses. I think... it's more like the effect of those special departments that came last time."
"You mean... the ability to see ghosts?"
"Yes, like someone with heterochromia!"
"Call Captain Li and tell him to come over in person. Sending someone else won't work; he has to come in person."
...
As Butler Li was cutting a watermelon, Wang Ma and the seven maids cheered as the watermelon was opened, exclaiming, "This watermelon must be here to repay a debt of gratitude!"
"It looks delicious!"
Seedless watermelon, my absolute favorite!
"Butler Li, you're amazing! Every watermelon you cut open is fantastic!"
"Butler Li, it's like you have X-ray vision. How come every time you uncover a piece of gossip, it's like it's coming to repay a debt of gratitude?"
Butler Li gave a mysterious smile: "Maybe I do have X-ray vision!"
Wang Ma's heart skipped a beat, and she pulled Butler Li aside: "Aren't you a water-based ability user? How come you have another skill—X-ray vision?"
“I don’t have that skill, but the chef does. He picked this melon for me.”
"chef???"
"Those dishes you think are mediocre but made with good ingredients and were wasted, were made by that chef. He's a helper I brought to the Han family. He has a kind of ability to see through things, which is more advanced than seeing ghosts with heterochromatic eyes, because he can see into their inner world."
Wang Ma felt that every word he said was full of profound meaning.
Suddenly, she looked at Butler Li with extreme nervousness: "He can...see the essence of the soul?"
"OK!"
"Ah, this..." Wang Ma hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Could he possibly see that inside his middle-aged woman's body was a young and beautiful soul?
Wang Ma stared at Butler Li suspiciously: "Do you know something?"
Thinking about it carefully, this butler is very strange!
The atmosphere between him and himself was a little too ambiguous, wasn't it?
He didn't even glance at the seven young and beautiful maids, but always clung to his old nanny. People initially thought he had some kind of special fetish, that he just liked older women.
Now it seems... he might already know the truth!
"What could I possibly know, hmm?" He leaned closer, whispering in her ear, "Or are you hiding something from me?"
"I... what could I possibly be hiding from you?"
No, I can't just confess without being asked!
"It seems that Wang Ma is really dishonest and has kept a lot of things from me."
"I didn't!" Seeing that the seven rebellious disciples were about to finish dividing up the watermelon, Wang Ma shouted, "Put down that watermelon!"
Wang Ma rushed over to grab the melon, but in reality, she was panicking and seemed more like she was fleeing in disarray.
Butler Li watched her flee in disarray and chuckled softly.
Han Fei passed by, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's so funny?"
"It's like a mouse hiding its head and tail, but no one knows that its head is always sticking out."
You mean Wang Ma?
"Has the master also noticed something?"
“Something’s not right with her. She’s different from when I interviewed her. It’s like she’s been given a completely different core.”
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from the master. Now that the master has discovered that she has a problem, why is he still keeping her around?"
"She's so easy to slip up. It's better to keep her than to hire someone more cunning."
"Sir, guess what happened to her?"
"You care about her so much, you can't be an old woman, you're quite young at heart."
Han Fei had long realized that Wang Ma's core was not right; she was more like a young girl around twenty years old, and she was overly lively in her actions, but very simple and innocent. Compared to those who were more cunning, it was alright to keep her around.
Butler Li nodded: "On my first day here, Old Chen told me that this Wang Ma's soul is a girl of about twenty years old, and he even drew a sketch for me. Old Chen's special ability is to see through the essence of souls. He was also there when he identified Kelly last time."
“I know that Old Gu has told me all the details about those who stayed with me.”
Han Fei was initially worried that the other party would see through the essence of his soul, but later he jokingly asked Old Chen if his soul looked old. Old Chen said it wasn't old at all, and that the human soul and the body presented a similar appearance.
In other words, the appearance of one's own soul has been assimilated.
Or perhaps, a consciousness transmigrated here, its body and soul still belonging to the original owner, but it completely occupied the other's consciousness, similar to devouring the sea of consciousness and replacing him.
"No matter what Wang Ma's soul looks like, she is Wang Ma now."
Not necessarily.
Upon hearing this, Han Fei raised an eyebrow, his heart filled with anticipation.
