The Professor's Mirror Dress Lover

After knowing that her essence is a curse, Lan often thinks of the words of the mirror image mother——

"Don't let Sanqian die, even if he wants to kill himself, you must stop..."

The most important rule of his existence is that Sanqian cannot be allowed to die.

Protecting Sanqian is his instinct as a mirror image.

The curse originated from the evil god's punishment for the betrayer.

The evil gods hate and betray.

But what if, as a curse, he betrayed his instinct?

So, is the rule reversed?

Ever since she and Sanqian kissed on a snowy night that day, such thoughts would pop up from time to time.

But Lan couldn't be 100% sure, he didn't want Sanqian to take uncertain risks.

A week later, Gu Luo secured Lan's visa and air ticket through special means.

In mid-December, the four boarded a plane to Sirico.

It was less than four o'clock in the afternoon when the plane landed.

The weather was fine that day, and Aurora City in the north ushered in a brief dusk.

Sanqian chose a window seat for Lan, who was flying for the first time, and when the plane flew low over the plain, Sanqian opened the shade for Lan.

The frozen lake has solidified into an endless cold blue, quiet and open, with sharp peaks and white forests in the distance.

Through the window glass, Lan's shadow is reflected on such a boundless expanse, but Lin Sanqian's mirror image has completely disappeared.

They don't have much time left.

If the speculation of the two is correct, the exchange is likely to take place on the night of the winter solstice.

Gu Luo told them that hundreds of years ago, the Nanwu tribe burned themselves and the curse flowing in their blood to death on the night of the winter solstice, and performed free sacrifices.

So the winter solstice must be a special time node.

It was precisely because of the sacrifice that year that Lan, who was born as a curse, hated the dark and the night, and chose to appear in Sanqian's life on the day of the summer solstice.

It was as if, all of a sudden, there was a reason and an explanation for everything.

After coming out of the airport, the group stayed in the urban area for one night. In the early morning of the next day, they had to drive dozens of hours to the south inland.

Gu Luo's great-grandmother lives in the depths of the plain far away from people and cities.

The task of driving was naturally taken over by Lan.

"Professor Lin, your Lan can really..." Gu Luo looked at Lan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, with suspicion in his eyes.

Lin Sanqian nodded: "His driving skills are very good."

As he spoke, his eyes met Lan's.

Lan laughed, and Sanqian laughed too.

Sanqian knew that if the two ladies were not there, Lan would definitely add: "Car skills in various senses."

Thinking of this, Sanqian's ears turned red.

Lan's Adam's apple also slipped, and he took another 3000 glances before he looked away with a lot of interest.

As the coastline disappeared, they moved deeper into the interior of the plains, sparsely populated in winter.

The southern inland of the Silico Plain is a cursed land in ancient legends. It is dry and rainless all year round. Because it is too dry and there is little snowfall, the lake is almost dry to the bottom, and the little water left solidifies into a rock-hard ice surface. , the sky is low and gray, and the land is barren and vast as far as the eye can see.

Lin Sanqian leaned on the co-pilot and fell asleep in a daze.

Since the side effects of the rules started to intensify, his daily waking hours were shortening.

His body is always cold, but he doesn't feel uncomfortable, his senses are gradually deteriorating, and he even doubts that he will sleep like this forever.

Lan Wang Sanqian fell asleep, turned up the heat in the car, and wrapped him in a blanket.

Although he knew that the current Sanqian had lost the keenness of human perception of warmth and coldness.

Lan's driving skills are still fast and stable.

Before the arrival of the long night, a group of people arrived at the place Gu Luo circled on the map.

It was a very old manor, not clearly marked on the map.

Gu Luo led them into a well-heated room, and an old woman with white hair but elegantly dressed came out to welcome them.

Her deep and bright eyes lingered on Lan and Sanqian's faces, and she smiled: "I believe the two are Professor Lin and Mr. Lan."

The great-grandmother did not show excessive curiosity about the mirror image person, and always maintained a polite attitude to welcome Gu Luo's friends.

"It's so cold now, it's not easy to come here, come and have some hot tea and some snacks."

Afternoon tea has been prepared in the house, and the group sat down. The great-grandmother looked at Lin Sanqian kindly: "When I was a little girl, my grandmother once showed me portraits of the Nanwu people. In my memory, their The outline of the facial features is very similar to that of Professor Lin, and it is so beautiful that people will never forget it."

Lin Sanqian froze for a moment, then smiled gently and modestly: "Thank you."

Although my great-grandmother is old, she has a very easy-going personality like a young person. After a brief greeting during the afternoon tea time, she looked at the two of them half-jokingly: "I heard from A Luo that you are in a relationship?"

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two answered in unison, Lin Sanqian froze for a moment, and Lan smiled.

Lin Sanqian was still a little embarrassed to face the elder's question, but Lan Sanqian was thicker than him.

"It's a miracle." The great-grandmother looked at the two young people with emotion, "Among all the legends I've heard, there has never been a precedent for a mirror image person and the main body to fall in love."

"The two stand against each other, basically destined to have a hostile relationship between the mirror image and the main body."

"If you knew the truth, would you still choose to appear beside Professor Lin?" The great-grandmother turned to Lan with sharp eyes.

Sanqian also looked over, Lan caught his gaze and said honestly, "No."

Although he promised Sanqian that he would not blame himself or be afraid, it is undeniable that he did think about this possibility.

Hearing this answer, Lin Sanqian's fingers trembled slightly.

"But the premise is that I really don't have any way to break the rules." Lan held Sanqian's hand, "But as long as there is a little possibility, I will still choose to appear by Sanqian's side."

Only then did Lin Sanqian's tense nerves relax.

The great-grandmother nodded: "A Luo told me that you don't know the purpose of the curse. This is not in line with the situation of the mirror image people before. They knew from the beginning that they must compete with the main body for the right to exist."

Lan said: "I have seen my mother's mirror image in Sanqian's dream, and she thinks that the rules deliberately concealed me."

Great-grandmother: "I guess it's because you fell in love with the body, and let the curse predict that you will probably choose to perish by yourself in order to protect the body, so from the very beginning, erase the core purpose from your cognition, Let you lure the main body to complete the contract without knowing it, so as to achieve self-protection and continuation of the curse, the curse is very cunning."

"But the curse obviously didn't predict your determination. This is the most dangerous thing."

The great-grandmother turned her gaze to Lin Sanqian again, "I heard from Ah Luo, you don't intend to use suicide to protect yourself."

Lin Sanqian looked firmly: "Yes, I want to live with Lan."

The great-grandmother looked at the two of them: "But have you ever thought that if there is really a way to crack it, why did the people of the Nanwu tribe choose to use such a tragic way of sacrifice?"

The air instantly became quiet, and the sound of tea falling into the porcelain was amplified infinitely.

In the bewildered silence, everyone breathed lightly.

Lan broke the silence and said, "Maybe it's not that there is no way, but that their mirror image people can't do it."

The great-grandmother looked at him deeply for a moment.

By this time the sun had dipped below the horizon, and the wasteland ushered in the long night.

The manor is illuminated by warm yellow lights.

"It's time for dinner, let's go to dinner first, it's not a good boy who doesn't eat on time."

Speaking of this, my great-grandmother got up from the sofa, then turned to Lan and said, "Lan, come with me to the study after dinner, and I can tell you something."

"Just yourself," she added.

Sanqian and Lan looked at each other, Lan nodded: "No problem."

The dinner in the manor is rich and delicious, and there are tempting desserts after the meal.

As usual, Sanqian left his share of desserts to Lan, and Lan wholeheartedly peeled the fruits for Sanqian, and even sent the fruits to Sanqian's mouth like a peacock spreading its tail.

The great-grandmother saw it and laughed: "I thought Ah Luo and Congee Congee were the most sticky lovers until I saw Professor Lin and Mr. Lan."

Lin Sanqian blushed, while Gu Luo protested.

Like all hospitable hosts, the great-grandmother recommended to them local attractions worth visiting.

"Driving another [-] kilometers to the southwest, there is a group of hot spring lakes that are not frozen all year round. This can be called a miracle in the arid inland of Silico. In this season, if you are lucky, you can still see the aurora on the lakeside. Dancing in the night sky."

"There is an abandoned chapel next to the hot spring lakes. In summer, couples occasionally come to take wedding photos."

Hearing this, Lan paused in biting the ice cream, Leng Lan's eyes seemed to light up, and the corners of his lips raised slightly unconsciously.

"The old site of the church is the place where it is said that the Linan Wu people made free sacrifices. I think you will be interested."

The dinner ended in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, Lan and his great-grandmother went to the study alone.

The moment the door closed, the gentle smile on the great-grandmother's face disappeared, and she looked at Lan with insightful eyes: "Have you already guessed the way to break the rules?"

When she heard Lan's rebuttal during afternoon tea, she already had an idea in mind.

Lan: "The betrayal needs to be done by me, right?"

The great-grandmother looked into his eyes and didn't nod, but she didn't say any rebuttal either, she acquiesced.

Lan smiled: "Looks like I guessed it right, I am really good at dealing with rules."

After a brief silence, the great-grandmother said: "No one has the opportunity to prove whether the method of breaking the curse of the mirror image is really effective, except you. So this is equivalent to an experiment, and all risks need to be borne by you."

"However, the reversal principle of all curses is similar, that is, the curse itself betrays itself, and the cursing ability of the curse will be invalid because of this. I believe the curse of the mirror image is no exception," she continued, "so the people of the Nanwu tribe back then There is no way to break the curse, because they cannot reach a consensus with the hostile mirror image, the mirror image person cannot do it, and the main body is even more impossible."

The closed windows turned the study into a closed space, and the wilderness blew a strong wind, and the oak branches outside the house staggered and swayed like ghosts.

The fireplace in the room is burning brightly, making it warm and quiet like spring.

Lan and her great-grandmother determined all the steps and details, and everything was done in secret.

Like an ulterior experimental project.

"Remember, the risk is very high." The great-grandmother brought a small black box, "Professor Lin can't know the plan for the time being. The consensus reached by the two parties is easy to be seen by the rules, which may cause the "plan" to fail. To be cautious, only First hide it from him. "

The moment Lan opened the box and saw the pistol, he frowned.

The great-grandmother saw Lan's worry: "Don't worry, as long as you are here before the exchange is completed, the main body will not suffer any harm."

"And it's legal to carry guns here," she added.

Lan lightly touched the cold muzzle with his finger: "Thank you."

The great-grandmother looked at him deeply again: "In principle, human beings should not believe in mirror images, but you surprised me."

Lan smiled: "I'm very honored."

"But... are you sure Professor Lin can do it? As long as he can't remember... you can't come back."

The great-grandmother always seemed graceful and unassuming, but at this moment there was sadness and worry welling up in her eyes.

Lan didn't hesitate at all: "Sanqian will remember."

His eyes became gentle, and so did his smile: "I believe in myself."

The great-grandmother also smiled: "Bless you."

After putting away the weapon, Lan was about to leave the study when he suddenly thought of something and turned his head: "By the way, there is one more thing I need to ask you."

"what happened?"

"I want to know, where can I buy a ring nearby, the kind of proposal."

The author has something to say: Cuckoo: Are you ready to propose?

Blue: I can do it!

……

I got stuck for a long time today, QAQ

I don't know the rules for cracking it, but I believe there will be a little cutie who can guess it.

If there is no accident tomorrow, there will be a marriage proposal (maybe it's hard to say if you get married directly
