Chapter 1540 Skin
Jiang Er thought carefully, “Probably around the time you just woke up?”
Just when I woke up?
An Qingyu suddenly froze.
He clearly remembered that he was awakened from his coma by an excruciating headache… and then, the first Mi-Go descended upon Beijing; and the second Mi-Go invasion also occurred when he had a headache.
Both Mi-Go invasions coincided exactly with his headaches… isn’t that too much of a coincidence?
When the first Mi-Go descended, Lin Qiye went directly to hunt it down, not knowing that An Qingyu had a headache at the same time. He only knew that An Qingyu woke up when he returned, so naturally he wouldn’t connect An Qingyu with the Mi-Go’s descent… but An Qingyu was different.
He immediately connected the timing of both Mi-Go descents with his headaches.
“Is it a coincidence? Or…” An Qingyu’s brow furrowed deeper.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Er noticed his unusual expression and asked.
An Qingyu explained his thoughts, and after a moment of shock, Jiang Er immediately shook her head:
“You’re overthinking it. Your headache is an aftereffect of having a corner of your soul cut off by the Heavenly Venerable, while Mi-Go are K-system creatures living in space-time rifts. These two things have no connection.”
“But before the Heavenly Venerable cut off a corner of my soul, I was contaminated by the K-system.”
“Many people have been contaminated by the K-system. Chen Yangrong, the gods of Takama-ga-hara, the gods of Asgard, Zhuai Ge… they’ve all been contaminated to various degrees, yet why haven’t we seen Mi-Go descending for them?”
An Qingyu was speechless.
“Maybe I’m overthinking it…” After pondering back and forth, he couldn’t find any other factors connecting this matter to himself, so he had to suppress this thought for now.
“Seven Nights and the others will handle this, so don’t worry too much.” Jiang Er checked the time. “There’s still some time before the performance starts. Let’s go to the cafeteria for a meal first.”
…
Building Five, Classroom 609.
“She’s in here. Go in and find her yourself.”
Fang Mo sent the white shadow into the classroom and said to Li Yifei behind her.
Li Yifei looked dubiously at the eerie classroom in the night, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped in. Fang Mo and Lu Baozhu turned and left to continue searching for lost soul fragments.
At this hour, all classes were over, and today was the welcome party, so the entire sixth floor of Building Five was dead silent, with only Li Yifei moving around in the classroom.
Just as Li Yifei was feeling confused, a white shadow suddenly floated out of nowhere, opening its arms as if wanting to embrace him.
However, as soon as her fingertips touched Li Yifei, they passed through him as if he were nothing, leaving her frozen in place.
Li Yifei turned to look, carefully identifying her – last century’s plain dress, twin ponytails – it was definitely the same soul fragment that had stopped him earlier.
Her mouth opened and closed, seemingly calling out something, but without vocal cords, she couldn’t make any sound.
From her lip movements, she appeared to be calling the name “Changhong.”
Meanwhile, white shadows quietly floated to the back of the classroom, curiously observing the two, occasionally whispering to each other, like a group of last-century onlookers gathering to watch.
“Miss, I think there’s been a misunderstanding between us,” Li Yifei cleared his throat and said seriously. “My name is Li Yifei, not the Changhong you’re calling. Strictly speaking, I’m not even human…”
The white shadow paused slightly, gesturing wildly as if trying to express something, but Li Yifei couldn’t understand at all and could only stand there bewildered.
At this moment, the spectating onlookers thoughtfully offered a blurry notebook.
This notebook looked extremely old, emanating a faint yin energy, appearing not to be a modern item but rather a personal belonging of these soul fragments. The white shadow took the notebook and quickly wrote something, then showed it to Li Yifei:
—You are him. You look exactly the same.
Li Yifei tried to take the pen and notebook to write something back, but his fingertips passed right through them. Only then did he realize these objects weren’t from the world of the living.
He withdrew his hand and said helplessly, “Miss, you’ve really mistaken me. Perhaps we just look very similar, but I’m not…”
The pen, controlled by the white shadow, rapidly wrote again:
—You have a mole on your second-to-last tailbone.
“What the hell?” The moment he saw these words, Li Yifei suddenly covered the area above his buttocks, his eyes widening. “How… how do you know that?”
—I saw it when you were bathing back then.
“?? Miss, that’s not appropriate to say!”
—You are Changhong. I remember every detail about you. I could never be mistaken!
The white shadow wrote this sentence and looked earnestly at Li Yifei. Although her face wasn’t clear, Li Yifei could feel her persistent gaze.
Li Yifei scratched his head, feeling his mind go blank… He had clearly never met this girl before, and she was a soul fragment from decades ago. How could they possibly have crossed paths? Could it be reincarnation?
If he were human, reincarnation might make sense, but he was just a snake demon!
Just then, a flash of insight crossed Li Yifei’s mind, and his body trembled slightly.
He stared at the white shadow girl before him, his expression gradually becoming complex.
He probably knew what was going on now.
Strictly speaking, there was no “Li Yifei” in the world at all. He was just a second personality created by the Nanda snake demon to hide itself after this “Mystery” descended to Earth. He had known this for several years.
He was a snake demon, so he couldn’t possibly reincarnate or have met this girl decades ago… The only explanation was that the human shell of “Li Yifei” originally belonged to the “Changhong” the girl spoke of.
The Nanda snake demon wasn’t human and wouldn’t have a human body. The reason he could survive in human society for so long with the appearance of “Li Yifei” was most likely because when it first descended upon Great Xia, it killed a human and transformed into his likeness.
And this human was the “Changhong” the girl had known back then.
This explained why the girl would mistake him for “Changhong,” while Li Yifei himself had no knowledge of it.
Li Yifei looked at the white shadow before him with complex eyes, feeling an unprecedented guilt rising in his heart… In a sense, the “Changhong” the girl spoke of was killed by his own hands.
Seeing Li Yifei standing there in a daze for so long, the white shadow tilted her head thoughtfully, then wrote on the notebook with some excitement:
—Changhong, do you remember now?!
