The Professor's Mirror Dress Lover

Lin Sanqian couldn't remember what Jiang Congee said afterward, nor when she left.

He couldn't wait to open "Mirror Man", the paper rattled under his hands, and as the plot progressed, his fingers trembling more and more as he flipped through the book.

Lin Sanqian quickly finished reading the novel with less than 20 words.

Then a coolness rushed up from the soles of the feet, and quickly flowed to the limbs and bones.

It took him 10 minutes to calm down a little.

The experience of the protagonist in the book is very similar to that of him and Lan.

The protagonist meets his own mirror copy, but the difference is that the protagonist and his mirror image are always in a position of killing each other for the right to exist.

The setting given by the plot is that if the existence of the mirror person cannot be erased within the time limit, the protagonist will replace the other person as a mirror image and be trapped in the endless mirror world.

Therefore, most of the plot of the whole book is describing the protagonist in a state of confusion and madness, trying to kill the mirror person in every possible way.

But his countless murders only brought the mirror image man back to life countless times.

Humans are destined not to be able to kill their own mirror images.

The only way is to kill yourself.

The death of the main body leads to the complete disappearance of the mirror image.

After experiencing a series of desperate struggles, the protagonist in the book finally decides to kill himself in order to get rid of the fate of being trapped in the mirror forever.

Is it just a coincidence?Or do you project your own experiences into fantasy works?

Lin Sanqian thinks it is not, because many details in the book, including the appearance of the mirror image in thunderstorm weather, and the mirror image taking all the damage for the body... are completely consistent with his and Lan's situation.

After a brief hesitation, Lin Sanqian dialed Gu Luo's number.

"Professor Lin?" Gu Luo was a little surprised, after all, Lin Sanqian rarely called anyone.

Lin Sanqian: "Excuse me, I don't have Jiang Congee's phone number, so I can only come and ask you."

Gu Luo was even more surprised: "Congee Congee is by my side now, what's wrong?"

She and Jiang Porridge beside her looked at each other in blank dismay, "Wait a minute, I'll call Porridge."

Jiang Congee answered the phone, a little confused: "Professor Lin, what happened?"

"About the work "Mirror Man"," Lin Sanqian said after a pause, "it may be presumptuous to say so, if possible, I would like to know its creative background and inspiration."

"The creation was inspired by the legend of Aurora City. Ah Luo's great-grandmother told me many stories about ancient local witchcraft and sacrifices. I chose some of these materials as the background." Jiang Congee said truthfully.

Lin Sanqian: "Does the setting of the mirror person really exist in the legend of Aurora City?"

"Yes, but it seems that these legends cannot be found in the existing literature. They were dictated by my great-grandmother," Jiang Porridge said, feeling a little uneasy about Lin Sanqian's sudden question, "There is something wrong with the settings. place?"

Lin Sanqian: "The work is very good, it's about myself... If it's convenient for you, I hope to meet and have a chat."

Jiang Porridge and Gu Luo glanced at each other: "Of course, we have time tonight. Is Professor Lin also studying related topics?"

This was the only reason she could think of Lin Sanqian wanting to meet after reading the book.

"No." Lin Sanqian's throat tightened, and his knuckles holding the phone were subconsciously exerting force. "We encountered the same thing."

He said "we", he and Lan.

"Ah?" Jiang Congee didn't react for a moment.

Lin Sanqian was silent for a moment: "I, and my mirror image, are now facing the same situation."

……

Lan was wearing a gray-blue shirt next to her body, and a long gray slim-fit trench coat was worn outside.

The lips are still painted blue, and there is no choker around the neck.

He sat in the corner of the restaurant by the window, and the dim light fell on him, outlining his chiseled profile.

The protruding Adam's apple on his neck gave him an ambiguous beauty.

There was a light blue lip print on the glass in front of him.

Gu Luo and Jiang Congee's eyes lingered on the faces of Lin Sanqian and Lan, and the two ladies were stunned.

With a calm posture, Lan smiled at the two ladies and said, "It's our first meeting, I hope I didn't scare you."

Gu Luo blinked blankly: "Are you Professor Lin's... mirror person?"

Lan nodded: "You can call me Lan."

"My God... Otherwise, I thought you and Professor Lin were twins."

As Gu Luo spoke, he looked at Lan carefully again.

Although Lan has shoulder-length hair, lipstick, and neutral clothes, she has a mysterious sense of gender ambiguity, but it unexpectedly makes people feel very A.

"May I ask, is the "Miss in a blue skirt riding a small electric donkey" in school legends really...? "

What he saw before him was too bizarre, Jiang Cong's eyes froze when he saw the two people with the same facial features and outlines, and he didn't slow down at all.

"It's me." Lan said frankly and even a little proudly.

Jiang Congee let out a low "ah", then covered his mouth and apologized for his gaffe.

Gu Luo hesitated and said, "There are rumors in the school that Professor Lin and..."

Lin Sanqian nodded with a natural tone: "Yes, Lan is my lover."

The two ladies stared again.

After a short silence, Lin Sanqian got straight to the point: "So, Lan and I want to know more real details about the mirror image man after removing the fantasy elements of the novel."

He briefly talked about the crisis they were facing now, and the two ladies calmed down after drinking some wine, and gradually got used to the strangeness in front of them.

"What's the matter with the mirror image?" Lan asked.

For some unknown purpose, the rules erased the truth of his existence, and he asked the same question to the mirror image mother in the dream.

"Don't you know?" Gu Luo frowned suspiciously, but continued to explain in detail, "According to my great-grandmother, the appearance of the mirror image is due to the curse in the blood of the Nanwu tribe in Xili Ke Plain. "

She said: "It is said that the Nanwu tribe made a deal with the evil god, but later they unilaterally broke the contract, causing the evil god to be severely injured. In the blood of the unlucky tribe."

Lan: "So my existence itself is a curse?"

"It can be said that," she glanced at Lan, "as a punishment for betrayal, when the descendants of the Nanwu people grow up to a certain age, mirror images will appear."

Lin Sanqian looked at the glass vase on the dining table.

There is a fake blue hydrangea in the vase.

The flower language of blue hydrangea is betrayal.

"Because of this curse, the Nanwu tribe has been extinct for hundreds of years." Gu Luo lingered on the faces of the two of them, "The only way to break the curse is the death of the body. In order to prevent the spread of the curse and pollute more innocent souls, Nanwu Hundreds of years ago, the people of the tribe chose to burn themselves and their compatriots to death, which is called a sacrifice for freedom."

"The great-grandmother told us that their sacrificial ceremony was chosen on the night of the winter solstice. On the longest night, the fire burned for a day and two nights, and the fire did not go out until the dawn of the next day."

"There are also rumors that there were survivors in the fire, and someone saw travelers from the north passing through the plains burned by the fire and took an infant baby."

"Afterwards, no one knew where the traveler went, so the legend that the mirror image still exists has been passed down. This is also the background of the creation of Congee Congee's novel."

Gu Luo paused here, and she ordered another glass of beer.

Lin Sanqian: "After the mirror image appears, will it replace the existence of the main body?"

Gu Luo nodded: "That's right, the identities of the two will be switched, the main body will be locked in the mirror and become a mirror image, and the mirror image will become a real person with flesh and blood, and survive in the real world."

Lan: "What if the person in the mirror image is unwilling?"

Gu Luo shook his head: "After replacing the main body, the mirror person will forget the fact that he is a mirror image person, and will also lose the memory of the main body."

For a moment, the air was quiet.

Gu Luo looked at the two of them, and swallowed the words he hadn't said.

Some things are too cruel to say clearly, and they know each other well.

Once the replacement happens, Lin Sanqian will be locked in the mirror, and his Lan will forget that he was a mirror person, and also forget his Sanqian.

Gu Luo continued: "The mirror image cannot be killed, and has the ability to regenerate infinitely. Only the death of the main body can lead to its demise before the replacement occurs."

"But because the mirror image bears the damage of the main body, it is difficult for ordinary accidents to cause the real death of the main body. Only the main body chooses to kill itself, otherwise..."

The relationship between the mirror image and the main body is hostile and competing, which is the essence of the curse.

Unless the body commits suicide, there is no solution.

These perfectly confirm the advice of the mirror image mother——

"Don't let Sanqian die, including him wanting to kill himself."

Because killing oneself is the only way out for the ontology.

Everyone quieted down again.

The low voices and laughter of the guests in the restaurant surrounded them.

Liveliness is everywhere, but the cruel truth wraps them tightly.

"So, the protagonist of "Mirror Man" finally chose to die," Lin Sanqian broke the breathless silence with a calm voice, "Compared to being trapped in a mirror, death is indeed easier."

Under the table, Lan grabbed his hand tightly, and exerted force unconsciously.

This time it was reversed, Sanqian gently drew circles in his palm, he told Lan not to be afraid.

"The novel is like this, but Professor Lin, you..."

Jiang Congee looked over, then looked away sadly.

Lin Sanqian smiled: "Of course I wouldn't make the same choice."

He promised his blue that he would not kill himself.

Gu Luo looked over worriedly: "Are you going to let him..."

Lin Sanqian knew what Gu Luo wanted to say, and shook his head: "I want to live with Lan."

Gu Luo frowned and thought for a moment, and finally looked at Lin Sanqian: "Professor Lin, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Growing up listening to the stories of her great-grandmother, she has always been afraid of Lan's existence.

Sanqian and Lan looked at each other for a moment, Lin Sanqian nodded: "Of course."

Before leaving the table, Gu Luo took a look at Lan: "I'm sorry, but I will borrow your professor for a while."

Lan joked, "Just remember."

But he couldn't help laughing.

On the terrace of the restaurant, Ginger Porridge also put on a coat and followed.

Gu Luo's face was stern: "Professor Lin, can he... really trust it?"

Because Lan is a mirror person, as long as Lin Sanqian does not choose to commit suicide, he is a vested interest.

Even if the process is painful, he will forget everything after Lin Sanqian disappears.

Lin Sanqian didn't hesitate at all, and said with a smile, "Can't I even trust myself?"

"That's right, but..." Gu Luo shook his head halfway through speaking, "What are you going to do?"

No matter how you choose this multiple-choice question, it is cruel.

Lin Sanqian: "I want to go to Aurora City with Lan, and then meet your great-grandmother."

After a pause, Lin Sanqian smiled apologetically and said, "If she is willing to see me and Lan."

Gu Luo breathed heavily: "I believe my great-grandmother would be happy to see you."

Gu Luo thought for a moment, and said very thoughtfully: "I can also solve the problem of Lan's ticket, and leave this to me."

……

After Lin Sanqian followed Gu and landed on the terrace, Lan was the only one left at the dining table.

He looked out of the window, as dusk fell, and the street lights on the street came on one after another.

The light reflected his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lan quietly looked at it for a while, then withdrew her gaze and looked at the empty seat beside her.

He drank all the wine in the glass.

When he and Sanqian met for the first time, they promised each other——

"I can't let you die."

The corners of Lan's lips were raised, and the arc looked sad.

He thought that he might never be able to make such a promise of three thousand again.

To Sanqian, this sentence was a curse.

He probably shouldn't have come out of the mirror.

He may be three thousand bad luck.

he may...

"Lan, you are not my doom."

Lin Sanqian had already returned to his seat, holding Lan's hand, with a firm gaze, "Promise me, don't have any thoughts of blaming yourself, and don't be afraid."

Lan looked back at him: "Well, I promise you."

He also knows better than anyone else the significance of his existence to Sanqian.

Neither side will doubt the importance of each other.

When we came out of the restaurant, it was snowing.

The two walked into the snow curtain next to each other.

On such a snowy night, walking home slowly is more comfortable than taking a taxi.

"In the past, the rules were hidden but we were clear. Now we know the purpose of the rules," Lin Sanqian said, "It can be regarded as a step forward."

Lan held his hand, I don't know if Lan has become warmer or he has become colder, now their temperature has become very close.

Sanqian continued: "Maybe we can find a solution when we go to Aurora City. I won't play this kind of multiple-choice game with the rules."

"If I had to choose..."

Lan's footsteps paused slightly, a thought flashed through his mind, he turned to look at Sanqian, "I choose to let the rules die."

Lin Sanqian laughed out loud.

Lan didn't smile, his breath was approaching, and he kissed Sanqian's lips deeply.

Their kisses are always long, swallowing each other's breath.

The snow fell harder.

One after another, the winter night is illuminated brightly.

The author has something to say: Lan: It’s the first time I’m flying on a plane, how do I pretend to be a frequent flyer?

……

I went through the plot today and explained the rules clearly. It looks a bit knife-like.

I will come back with double sweetness.

Thank you for liking Sanqian and Lan, the refill.
