What's going on? Why is there no Xie Yunting in the mirror
Tang Ning suddenly remembered that in the ghost copy, the system had told him that because this magic mirror would show who was the most beautiful person in the world, when Tang Ning recited the spell, if there was a person standing next to him, that person would not be in the same frame as in the mirror.
Only when the other person is a ghost can they both appear in the mirror at the same time.
But the problem is…
When Xie Yunting stood in front of the mirror, he did not recite the spell in front of the mirror.
Could it be that it was because the spell had been recited before and the spell had a longer duration
System, is the fact that Xie Yunting cannot be seen in the magic mirror related to the spell I chanted before
Tang Ning asked.
Please explore on your own.
Damn it, I knew this bastard wouldn't answer.
"Get up, Xiao Ning, we can pack up and go." Xie Yunting admired himself in the mirror and looked at Tang Ning with a smile.
Where are we going now
Tangning looked at Xie Yunting blankly.
Xie Yunting couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Tangning's hair, "What's wrong? Do you want to sleep a little longer? If we were going out on a date, it would be fine to stay in bed for a while, but today is a reunion with our high school classmates that we have been planning for a long time. It would be bad to be late."
Date? High school reunion
System: What is my current relationship with Xie Yunting? Are we going to meet Lin Yun and others later
You and Xie Yunting are lovers now. Yes. The system replied.
Lovers? According to the developments on the second day, it was indeed quite logical for them to become lovers now.
Xie Yunting skillfully took out the clothes, pants, and socks that Tang Ning was going to wear from the closet, and even picked out some accessories that Tang Ning would wear today.
Half kneeling down, he touched Tang Ning's feet from under the quilt and gently helped her put on her socks.
In order to improve efficiency, Tangning took off her loose pajamas. Her milky skin looked even prettier than the pure white bedding.
Where is this place? Tangning asked.
You and Xie Yunting bought a house near the school. The system replied.
It looked like this bedroom only contained Tang Ning's daily necessities. Although they seemed to be living together, they still slept in separate rooms.
Xie Yunting dressed Tang Ning as if she were a doll. He never got tired of helping Tang Ning dress and wash herself, and this had never changed since she was a child.
Tang Ning picked up his phone and started to check the group chat. All his teammates in the group chat had bubbles popping up, proving that Jia was still alive. Tang Ning blew a bubble in the group chat.
"You smell so good." Xie Yunting couldn't help but exclaim.
A somewhat chilly wind blew in from the window. Tang Ning sniffed, but she didn't smell any fragrance on her body. Xie Yunting, who was holding Tang Ning's fingers tightly, stared at Tang Ning for a while, and couldn't help but hugged Tang Ning horizontally.
Tang Ning noticed that the wind from the window was getting stronger, blowing the curtains into waves.
Xie Yunting carried Tang Ning to the bathroom, and then reluctantly put her down.
The skin care products and other things in the bathroom made Tang Ning stunned. When she was an artist, she didn't cause Xie Yunting so much trouble. Xie Yunting even took out several hair products. The comb looked very special.
Compared to the meticulous and somewhat tedious way Xie Yunting took care of Tang Ning, Xie Yunting took care of himself much more simply. He simply reached out to rinse his face with clean water, then used his palm to casually apply the remaining skin care products from Tang Ning to his face.
The breakfast was made by Xie Yunting himself, and the taste was like the craftsmanship of Prince of Memory.
After the meal, Xie Yunting took Tang Ning to the underground garage. During the process, he still held Tang Ning's hand.
Tangning was very familiar with Xie Yunting's preferences. She would hold his hand no matter what and hug him from time to time. Her blushing face that often appeared on the second day was gone by the third day. It seemed that the immature teenage years would eventually pass.
But it seems that we are not in the passionate love period now
Tangning glanced at Xie Yunting who was driving. She could tell that Xie Yunting had been very fond of her since she woke up. However, the most intimate contact they had had was limited to touching and hugging. There was no kissing, not even a kiss on the cheek.
If you really like someone, it would be hard to resist the urge to kiss them, right
System, have I ever kissed you? Tangning asked.
No.
Why? Tangning was a little confused, because she remembered that the prince wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
You can ask yourself. The system will answer.
Tangning asked directly, "Xie Yunting, have you ever thought about kissing me?"
The hand that was holding the steering wheel trembled, and luckily Xie Yunting regained his senses and stepped on the emergency brake. The whole car shook violently, and Tang Ning almost lost his grip on the phone. If he hadn't been wearing a seat belt, he would have been thrown out.
Tang Ning looked up with a bit of shock, and was met with Xie Yunting's embarrassed and panicked expression, with his ears and neck red.
The handsome, intelligent-looking young man flushed and his chest heaved rapidly.
Ah, it's very much like the embarrassment of a good student with excellent character and academic performance suddenly being exposed for bad intentions in front of everyone.
Tang Ning's mood suddenly became extremely tense when she saw Xie Yunting's expression.
Suddenly, I seemed to understand why some people like to bully those who are like little white rabbits.
Indeed... it's... quite interesting.
Tang Ning felt that if she asked Xie Yunting if he really wanted to kiss her feet, he would probably open the car door and flee, leaving this planet overnight.
In fact, when Tang Ning was taking off her pajamas just now, she felt Xie Yunting pause for a moment while helping her change her socks. He was probably glancing at her waist or something like that.
Tang Ning seemed to have guessed why Xie Yunting had not yet developed a more intimate relationship with her. Perhaps it was because Xie Yunting, who was too innocent, was in a relationship with her and suddenly discovered that she had a series of perverted hobbies such as kissing feet. He was very frightened and afraid that this action would scare Tang Ning, so he suppressed himself.
But the more she suppressed it, the more she longed for it. She could only work hard to take good care of Tang Ning, such as applying skin care products, doing her hair, and other opportunities to be close to the person she liked.
Tang Ning's brain worked quickly and he immediately figured out the root cause of the problem.
As for why he was so skilled, it was of course because he had seen the prince who did not hide his perverted hobby.
"Keep driving," Tangning said calmly.
Xie Yunting pretended to be calm, his Adam's apple rolled, and he drove back on the road.
Soon, we arrived at the class reunion place.
When getting off the car, Xie Yunting still looked shy and didn't even dare to hold Tang Ning's hand.
The class reunion was held in a temple on the mountain. It can be seen that this was a place chosen by the players together, which makes people feel very safe.
Tang Ning met familiar teammates in the temple.
Lin Yun looked pale and thin, shorter than his actual height in the real world, with a sloppy beard. The clothes he wore were made of poor quality material and were a bit dirty, and his shoes were very worn. At this moment, he was frantically eating the vegetarian food fed by Jikong, as well as the snacks fed by Zhou Kang.
Lin Yun ate too fast and almost choked. It was Li Haoyuan who poured the mineral water.
Such a desolate scene, at first glance, really makes anyone who hears it sad and sees it cry.
"What's wrong with Lin Yun?" Tangning asked worriedly.
The players who arrived earlier already knew what happened to Lin Yun, and they couldn't help but sigh and shook their heads when they heard it.
The wealth taken away by the cards on the first day has not been returned until today. Lin Yun had previously decided to make a fortune through self-media. The edited videos were indeed very interesting, but strangely there was no traffic and the exposure rate was almost zero.
One day, Lin Yun made up his mind and spent almost all his money to buy a promotion. Sure enough, the traffic increased suddenly, and not long after, the account was blocked.
During the days when he could not make any money, Lin Yun's daily routine was to look for various channels to work. This rich second-generation who had basically never suffered from financial hardship in the real world lived a poor life in the card world. He tried very hard to save money, using every method he could think of, but every time he saved a little money, a person would appear and take all his money away.
For example, if you suddenly get sick, your cell phone is stolen by a thief, or you are bitten by a stray dog and need to get a rabies vaccine...
"Being poor... is too scary..." Lin Yun tried hard to swallow the sausage in his mouth. His whole state was not right. "Being poor is scarier than being a ghost."
"Do you want to continue eating?" Zhou Kang saw that Lin Yun's stomach was already bulging.
Lin Yun nodded, and snatched another bag of bread from Zhou Kang's hand almost like snatching it. She took a few more bites, and stopped when the food was almost stuffed into her throat. "My eating habits have really changed now. I feel like I want to eat all the time. Even if I am very full, I still have to eat something. I must eat until I am 120% full."
Compared with the skinny Lin Yun, Zhou Kang standing next to him was so fat that it was scary, like a small mountain of flesh, which made people wonder where he found all those clothes on his body.
"Zhou Kang, what's wrong with you now? Do you need our help?" Tang Ning asked.
Zhou Kang picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat off his body. "No, I have a card called Cut Meat to Feed the Eagle. I'll eat a little fatter now. If I encounter anything next time, I can feed it."
This approach is very painful, but there is no other way to protect yourself.
Tang Ning looked at Jikong. Jikong had a new string of Buddhist beads in his hand. Although he still looked very young, his temperament already had the transcendental aura of a high monk. It seemed that Tang Ning didn't need to worry about him.
Tang Ning looked at Li Haoyuan again. Li Haoyuan was in good condition and full of energy. Tang Ning showed him the video account she ran. Although the money she made was not much, it was enough to support Li Haoyuan himself and save some money for retirement.
Si Tai was still the same. On the third day, he failed again. Si Tai was in despair over his repeated failures. "I don't understand why I failed again on the second day. I told myself many times before going to bed that I could finish writing this article. I don't understand how the card game judges. I don't understand..."
However, although his writing career suffered a severe blow, Si Tai never encountered any powerful ghosts.
And because Si Tai only experienced one copy, which happened to overlap with Li Haoyuan, and they were both self-professional, they simply lived together to share the rent and ghosts. This increased the survival rate of both Si Tai and Li Haoyuan.
Tangning looked at Jiang Mianmian.
Jiang Mianmian has been very quiet from just now until now, even a little absent-minded. This is not like the usual Jiang Mianmian.
"Jiang Mianmian?" Tangning called out tentatively.
Jiang Mianmian seemed to have just woken up from a dream and looked at Tangning, "Huh?"
"What's wrong with you?" Tangning asked with concern.
Jiang Mianmian looked at Tangning quietly with her broken glasses on. Her eyes seemed to be cut by the broken lenses and no longer sharp and focused. After a long moment, she whispered, "I... met Bai Wuliang again."
Tangning was stunned, "What?!"
Didn’t Bai Wuliang already do that
"It's Bai Wuliang when he was young."
In reality, Bai Wuliang is older than Jiang Mianmian, but in this copy, Jiang Mianmian is actually older than Bai Wuliang. When Jiang Mianmian was about to go to school, Bai Wuliang had just entered high school.
Jiang Mianmian said: "I haven't found out that I have cancer yet. My grandfather is. I saw them shopping alone."
"I... took you to the hospital for a full physical examination." The grandfather and grandson of the Bai family thought that Jiang Mianmian was selling something at first, but when they saw the little girl was about to cry, they were sent to the hospital in a daze.
"The examination was done promptly, and each patient was in the early stages of the disease and can be cured," said Jiang Mianmian.
This looks good.
But when Tang Ning saw Jiang Mianmian's condition, she could tell that this was not good.
"So?" Tangning asked.
"The Bai family is very grateful to me." Jiang Mianmian said softly, "They wanted to hire me as Bai Wuliang's tutor. I offered a price much higher than the market price, but their family is already in debt."
"So what are you going to do now?" Tang Ning thought that Jiang Mianmian should not go to the Bai family because Jiang Mianmian was not in a clear state now, which was very dangerous in the card world.
Jiang Mianmian said, "My mind tells me that I shouldn't be a tutor, but emotionally, Tangning... I feel like Bai Wuliang is just like the real Bai Wuliang. Do you think it's possible that the card game has preserved some of his consciousness, allowing him to reappear in this world?"
Tangning had no way of denying this guess because her mother was her real mother.
"If this is really the case, I really want to live a better life in this world." Jiang Mianmian's eyes flushed slightly, "I want to help and make things better. I can't let myself ignore this existence."
Tang Ning didn't know how to persuade Jiang Mianmian.
Knowing that Jiang Mianmian and Bai Wuliang have a deep relationship, they are no longer just partners, but more like family members.
If Tang Ning had the chance to experience her mother's childhood, she believed that she would be uncontrollably nice to her mother.
"So..." Jiang Mianmian took a deep breath, and her expression became calm again, "Did you choose the Magic Mirror card today?"
Tangning nodded.
"My glasses are broken, and I want to use your card to see if Bai Wuliang is real or not." Jiang Mianmian said: "If it is fake, I can ignore it with peace of mind."
"Okay, but I still haven't figured out how to tell the real from the fake with the magic mirror cards." Tangning told Jiang Mianmian about his experience this morning.
Jiang Mianmian frowned, "How about this, do you still have the magic mirror in the space ring? Take it out later, and we'll find a few people to try it in front of the magic mirror."
"good."
Tang Ning placed the magic mirror in a secluded place and called everyone over.
Xie Yunting was a little surprised to see the mirror that suddenly appeared. Jiang Mianmian explained that it was the same mirror that she and Tangning bought. Xie Yunting said, "This mirror really makes people look good."
Tang Ning first let Jiang Mianmian stand in front of the mirror alone. Tang Ning looked at Jiang Mianmian in the mirror without herself being in the mirror and could see Jiang Mianmian's silhouette.
Next, Tang Ning and Jiang Mianmian stood in front of the mirror together. They saw her and Jiang Mianmian's figures appear in the mirror at the same time. When Tang Ning chanted the spell "Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful person in the world" in her heart, only Tang Ning's figure was left in the mirror.
However, Tang Ning asked Jiang Mianmian about her reaction again. Jiang Mianmian said that no matter whether Tang Ning recited the spell or not, Jiang Mianmian could see her own reflection in the mirror from beginning to end.
In other words, the only one who can use this magic mirror to judge the truth is Tang Ning, who holds the magic mirror card.
Tangning then asked Lin Yun and the others to stand in front of the mirror. Almost everyone's test results were the same as Jiang Mianmian's. When it was Jikong's turn, Jikong clasped his hands together and said to Tangning apologetically, "I have to go prepare the vegetarian meal first."
Tang Ning nodded, and just as Jikong was about to leave, a slender hand held down his shoulder.
Xie Yunting said politely, "Master Jikong, please look into this mirror before you leave. This mirror is different from ordinary mirrors. It can make people look radiant."
Jikong stretched out his hand to brush away Xie Yunting's hand on his shoulder, "No, I don't care about appearance."
Xie Yunting's hands grasped Jikong like a pair of pliers, "Oh, I want to see Master Jikong with the beauty filter."
The players watching were all stunned for a moment. Tang Ning didn't understand what Xie Yunting was doing.
Jikong and Xie Yunting looked at each other for a long time before they slowly said, "Okay."
Xie Yunting stood aside and watched Jikong walk towards the mirror. When Jikong stood in front of the mirror alone, Tang Ning did not see Jikong's figure.
Tang Ning's right eyelid twitched heavily.
Previously, all players would be able to see their own reflections when standing in front of a mirror alone.
Tang Ning walked towards Jikong, and when he and Jikong appeared in the mirror at the same time, Tang Ning looked at Jikong beside him with his naked eyes and could clearly see the other person's existence, but when he looked in the mirror, there was no one beside him.
This sense of absurdity made Tang Ning subconsciously brew the fire of his soul.
Jikong beside him had a relaxed look on his face, a faint smile on his face, and his hands were still playing with the newly acquired glass Buddhist beads. He looked normal, but when Tang Ning chanted the spell, Jikong's figure suddenly appeared in the mirror!
What's going on
Tang Ning appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, an uproar had broken out inside.
I still remember the systematic explanation I had given before, that only when the other person is a ghost can you be reflected in the mirror together with him.
Did Jikong have a problem? But this temple was chosen by Jikong. If Jikong, who looked like a great monk, had a problem, would this temple with a solemn appearance and Buddha's light also have a problem?!
"What's wrong?" Jikong looked at Tang Ning, "Why is Mr. Tang looking at me like this?"
Tang Ning directly threw out a ball of soul fire. Jikong seemed to be prepared and dodged it flexibly, but the next moment, he was subdued by Xie Yunting who pounced on him.
While Xie Yunting was sticking talismans all over Jikong's body, he shouted coldly: "How dare you be so presumptuous? I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being!"
What a coincidence, Xie Yunting and Jikong are both in front of this mirror at the moment.
Tang Ning could see clearly that the mirror could not reflect Jikong and Xie Yunting at all.
Tangning: “…”
My brother said, "Second brother, you don't look normal at all."
The noise of the fight here attracted the other monks in the temple. Xie Yunting used his martial arts to suppress Jikong and his literary skills to reason with those monks. After Xie Yunting's negotiations, the monks who were about to fight with Xie Yunting at first finally bowed to Xie Yunting to express their gratitude.
Finally, the monks dragged the motionless Jikong back.
After handling the matter, Xie Yunting explained to Tangning and the others, "During the practice, the inner demon entered the body accidentally. However, it will not be a big deal if it is discovered early and dealt with in time. The monks in the temple said they would prepare a special vegetarian meal for us to thank us. Let's go and eat now."
Seeing Xie Yunting happily preparing to take the food to eat, Tangning quickly said, "Wait a moment."
Xie Yunting paused, "What's wrong?"
"Go look in the mirror," Tangning said.
"Didn't I take a photo at home before I left?" Xie Yunting smiled and didn't argue with Tangning over such a trivial matter. "But now I can definitely fix my hair in front of the mirror."
As he spoke, he walked towards the mirror easily. When a person was in front of the mirror, there was no one in the mirror.
Tang Ning slowly walked to Xie Yunting's side and stood side by side with him. Now there was no spell chanted and there was still no shadow of Xie Yunting in the mirror. There was only Tang Ning himself, but the living Xie Yunting was standing next to him.
"You look really good." Xie Yunting praised Tangning with a smile as he stared at her in the mirror.
Tang Ning recited the spell in his heart, but still did not see Xie Yunting's figure in the mirror, which meant that Xie Yunting was not a ghost.
But like Jikong, Xie Yunting cannot be seen when he stands alone in front of the mirror.
What is going on
At this moment, Tang Ning suddenly saw a strange figure on the roof of the temple in the upper left corner of the mirror. The figure was quite far away, as if it was lying on the eaves. Before Tang Ning could take a closer look, the figure flew away like a frightened bird. It disappeared so quickly that Tang Ning suspected that all this was an illusion.
