Chen Ling's Bewilderment
"【A-Yan】..."
Chen Ling hurriedly opened mouth, "Are you real ma? You really are alive?!"
【Chen Yan】 at the other side of reflection. Fell into silence.
A moment after. He answered:
"As long as 【Brother】 feels I am alive. Then I exactly am alive's."
"Where are you??"
"I with 【Brother】 together."
Voice falling down. Mirror pieces tumbling on river surface. Beginning unceasingly towards river bottom sinking going. Densely packed ripples like water puddle in rain. Beginning stirring chaotic water surface at center of the two.
Next moment. Water surface's ripples suddenly calmed.
Water surface not having slightest flowing. Just like this stilling. Like smooth mirror surface. Reflecting Chen Ling's shadow.
Only. "Chen Ling" in reflection inside. Moreover didn't wearing that piece of 【Great Crimson Theatrical Robe】. But is wearing thick and heavy cotton-padded clothes. The two passing through mirror surface. Looking at each other.
"Is you..." Chen Ling's gaze somewhat complex.
"Is me." Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling calmly opened mouth, "I shouldn't appear here's... That mirror took us separated."
"What meaning?"
"I exactly am you. You exactly am me. From the moment you descended starting. We already are one body."
Chen Ling silenced a moment.
"I thought. You would blame me taking away things originally should belong to you."
"If it wasn't you. I already died. 【A-Yan】 also is... You continued his life. Carrying my memory. Why would blame you?"
"Since we are one body's. Why would you be here?"
"Because you are in 【Bewilderment】." Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling said, "Your 【Bewilderment】 too overly formidable. Even that mirror all unable to completely solve. So only able to take our memory splitting. Here asking and answering oneself."
"...Asking and answering oneself?"
"Yes ah. I said. I exactly am you. You exactly am me... Only. We representing different memories. Dialogue between us. Exactly is your asking and answering oneself."
Chen Ling looking at oneself in reflection. Again associating to just now in front of mirror. One dividing into three's that scene.
"I seemingly understood the relationship between us..."
Chen Ling. All along then not only is Chen Ling. He is 【Chen Yan】. Is 【District Three】 Chen Ling. Also is 【Transmigration】 person Chen Ling... One flesh body. Two segments of memories. Creating nowadays filled with contradiction and 【Bewilderment】's 【Six of Hearts】.
"But I don't understand." Chen Ling eyebrows tightly locked, "They all said inside my heart has 【Bewilderment】. 【Bewilderment】 coming from where?"
Since passing through 【Mirror of True Self】. Knew the relationship between them three. That 【Bewilderment】 ought to also following it eliminated only then right. But why ultimately that mirror was by him forcefully shattered?
In reflection. Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling's slowly shook head.
"Your 【Bewilderment】. Not us... But is you yourself."
"Me myself??"
Chen Ling unable to understand his meaning. Although they originally exactly are one body. But under 【Mirror of True Self】's function. The two's memories thoroughly stripped into independent individuals. Changing words saying. Chen Ling right now is with another oneself in subconscious asking words...
He is waiting for oneself giving out an answer.
"【Transmigration】 person Chen Ling." Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling's eyes slightly narrowed up. That pupil flashing purple light. Like wanting to take Chen Ling thoroughly seeing through.
"You really are 【Transmigration】 person ma? You really believe 【Transmigration】's existence ma? You... exactly are who?"
When last five words sounding's instant. Chen Ling only feeling a streak of falling thunder blasting sounding beside ear. In front of his eyes' picture inch by inch crumbling shattering. Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling in reflection inside vanishing without a trace in swaying ripples!
Chen Ling just like is corpse falling into hollow abyss. Unceasingly falling down in endless darkness. His pupils shrinking like pinhole!
【Transmigration】... 【Transmigration】 person...
Chen Ling finally realized. In his subconscious deepest place. That endless 【Bewilderment】 coming from where.
Before this. Chen Ling often would towards oneself producing questioning. He once thought this kind of questioning originating from oneself is "Chen Ling" or "【Chen Yan】". But right now looking at it. This kind of questioning actually is coming from subconscious's "oneself".
After being smashed to death by chandelier. Consciousness suddenly 【Transmigration】 through hundreds of years of time. Arriving on body of a youth with same name as oneself?
Moreover this youth still has a younger brother with top notch traditional opera talent. Just happened to die together with 【Brother】. Giving him opportunity becoming "Chen Ling". Causing the "three positions same body" situation with probability not reaching one in hundred millions?
As long as slightly thinking. Then able to perceive the not right inside this. This fundamentally not like is a "coincidence". More like is a "setup" meticulously designed by someone.
Also exactly is saying. The "【Transmigration】" he self-thought. Perhaps fundamentally isn't like that of his thinking...
Just like having a formless big hand restraining his thoughts. Letting him subconsciously ignoring this question. Also never doubted passing "【Transmigration】"'s authenticity. But when cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling saying out that sentence time. He just like is dreamer being startled awake. Back seeping out densely packed cold sweat!
If even 【Transmigration】 all is fake's... Then beside him. Still having what thing is real's??
Unceasingly falling down in abyss inside's Chen Ling. Like perceived something. Lowering head looking towards abyss's bottom... In endless pitch-black inside. A giant thing massive to seeming like a star currently crawling there. In front of its body shape. Chen Ling just like is a grain of fine sand floating passing. Tiny and fragile.
Chen Ling knows. That exactly is "【Bewilderment】" one corner in own subconscious. Also is the "illusion" even 【Mirror of True Self】 all unable to break open.
Within so massive "【Bewilderment】". Exactly hiding what kind of secret?
Chen Ling's figure unceasingly falling down towards that giant shadow. Seemingly very fast about to be thoroughly swallowed by it. Just at this time. One corner mirror surface piece falling out from his body...
In mirror piece's reflection. Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling currently together with him falling down. A palm seemingly wanting to pass through mirror surface. Reaching towards Chen Ling.
"Regardless who you once were. Nowadays we all are Chen Ling..."
"【A-Yan】 is our younger brother. Protect him well."
Chen Ling a suit of 【Great Crimson Theatrical Robe】 flying dancing in abyss. He blanked a moment. Similarly reaching out hand. Touching towards "Chen Ling" in mirror surface reflection...
When two hands passing through mirror piece. Again contacting together time. Cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling's figure again transforming into a ball of light shadow. Fusing into inside Chen Ling's body!
Next moment. Abyss surrounding Chen Ling transforming into endless purple light. Like tumbling tsunami taking it drowning!
...
On soft snow-white bed. Chen Ling covered in blood scabs all over body. Abruptly opened eyes!
He instantly sitting up from bed. Bean-sized sweat beads rolling down from forehead corner. Complexion pale white. Like just experienced a nightmare.
"Is it dream me... or..."
Inside Chen Ling's mind surfacing the scene of last cotton-padded clothes Chen Ling touching with him. Seemingly deep in thought.
A burst of gentle breeze brushing past open window. Tulle-like curtain dreamily lightly dancing.
Chen Ling like sculpture generally. Blankly sitting on bed. Like currently hard striving recalling something... Don't know passed how long. He scratched head. Muttering to himself.
"Strange..."
"My 【Bewilderment】... what was it again?"
【【Audience Expectation Value】 +3】
In nothingness behind Chen Ling. Pairs of scarlet pupils. Gradually surfacing smile...
