Chapter 214: Tree holes, naivety, traveling for two.

The two of them chose a direction and went on their way.

At first, Bai Anyi was a bit wary of the other "Bai Anyi".

There is always an inexplicable fear of "mirrors", and even more so, this "mirror image" came out of the mirror, and came to him.

But as the figure of Bai Anyi faded, he became worried.

Bai Anyi asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Bai Anyi looked at her hands, which were becoming transparent, and muttered to herself, "One hour and ten minutes. A little longer than last time."

Bai Anyi is shocked, "You've been out?"

"Bai Anyi" hmmm'd and said frankly, "I was out for fifty minutes the day you awakened your powers."

Bai Anyi remembers secretly measuring the amount of class A globulin in his body after he experienced the symptoms.

The conclusions he came to almost made him self-conscious on the spot.

He wanted to tell Jiao Qingguang about it right away. He had no other relatives, and Jiao Qingguang was the closest person to him.

But as it was getting late, Bai Anyi remembered that Jiao Qingguang had a report to submit, and that tonight was a dead line.

...... Then we'll talk about it tomorrow.

"Bai Anyi" paralleled him and said, "You didn't sleep very well that day, and you took a bath and medicine before going to sleep."

Bai Anyi remembers that his own dormitory was en-suite, with a small shower and toilet on the inside, and a sink with a huge mirror on the outside.

It dawned on him, "...... is that time ......"

"Bai Anyi" asks, "Are you afraid?"

Bai Anyi shook her head, "No."

Bai Anyi is a person who has both the romance and rationality of a scholar. Since the other person didn't hurt himself after awakening his powers, he won't add to his worries by making boring assumptions about what to do if he hurts himself.

"Bai Anyi" laughed, "Not even angry? I've seen your body."

Bai Anyi's face instantly reddened, "You ......"

"Bai Anyi" had tested Bai Anyi's boundaries, and when he looked nervous, he stopped his jokes at the right time: "Sorry, I'm being rude."

"Neither." Bai Anyi walks slowly with her head bowed and says tamely, "This body is as much mine as it is yours. It's nothing for you to look at it. ...... Besides, I have you to thank for it."

"Thanks for what?"

"Your character, will, and physical qualities should be much stronger than mine ......" Bai Anyi said, "I don't know psychology very well, but I do have a little knowledge about dual personalities. Generally speaking, the two personalities are independent of each other and don't know that the other exists; but you've always known about me, yet you didn't come to grab the status of the main personality within your body ......"

"Bai Anyi" bowed her head and smiled brightly.

Again, one bowed his head, one tamed, but the other was immovable to retreat.

He said, "I thought you were pretty territorial, judging by your attitude toward 'masterminds'."

Bai Anyi says, "I do dislike it when people offend my personal rights without permission. But I'm you and you're me, and you've helped me a lot, so ...... I won't mind."

"Bai Anyi" smiled as she collected her hands behind her back in a dignified manner and pressed down the back hem of her lab coat, which had been lifted by the desert wind, "So that's why I'm here."

Bai Anyi: "What reason?"

"Bai Anyi" is, word for word, blunt as hell: "It's the reason I don't take your body, keep you in my body, do whatever I want to you, and make you cry and beg me to let you out."

Bai Anyi flushed red with anger and amusement, stopping to ask, "You've thought about it?"

"Bai Anyi" smiled back, not a trace of weakness in sight: "No."

During their conversation, Bai Anyi's body became more transparent.

Seeing that he couldn't support it anymore, he said, "I'll disappear for a while. Find a way to create a mirror when you need me."

Bai Anyi replied, "Uh-huh."

"After Bai Anyi disappeared, Bai Anyi trekked alone for ten miles and finally, out of breath, stood at the edge of a small river.

Although they are conscious bodies, they will still have normal human cycles and will be tired, hungry and thirsty.

He faced the river for a moment holding his knees to catch his breath before a hand reached out from the side and handed him a towel, "It took so long to call me, I thought you didn't want me to come out."

Bai Anyi slowed down and wiped her sweat, "I wanted you to rest a little longer."

"Bai Anyi" said, "All I have to do is disappear and look in the mirror again. Besides, I won't feel tired if I stay with you."

Bai Anyi sitting on the floor: "Oily mouth."

"Fact." "Bai Anyi" sat down beside him, "After being a part of your body for almost twenty years, do you think that I would get bored?"

Bai Anyi was a little embarrassed by his blunt but unprovocative words and said without words, "...... Are you sleepy?"

"You sleep." "Bai Anyi" said, "It's been a long day of running."

Bai Anyi says, "No, not by the water. There might be a lot of people coming to squat by the water source ......"

"Bai Anyi": "Don't worry. I'm here."

Bai Anyi is a little embarrassed, "But what will you do if I sleep? I still get up every hour and shine a light on the water ......"

"No need."

"Bai Anyi" reaches into his pocket, pulls out a small round mirror knocked from his rearview mirror, sticks it in the dirt, and makes a gentlemanly gesture of "please".

Bai Anyi stares at him, "You have a mirror?"

"Yes." "Bai Anyi" replied calmly, "I took it off a car before I drove the man away today."

Bai Anyi : "Then why ......"

"Bai Anyi" crouched down and looked at him levelly, "I just wanted to see if you would call me out."

Bai Anyi is a bit distressed and apologizes, "My bad."

"Bai Anyi" was probably prepared to be blamed for not trusting him, but didn't expect an apology, and was momentarily stunned: "You ......"

Bai Anyi says, "I am the one who did not give you the assurance of security. But please believe me, I appreciate and need you. This need is not just in terms of personal safety. It's the first day I've met you and I'd like to talk to you more and get to know you better ......"

With that, he put a pointed twig he had picked up on the road, "Here you go."

"Bai Anyi" took the branch and looked at the little scholar who was reasoning with him with a soft gaze, "What is this?"

Bai Anyi said seriously, "I picked it up on the road, intending to use it for self-defense. Now it's for you."

"Bai Anyi" almost laughed out loud, "What kind of defense is that?"

Bai Anyi was a bit shy and embarrassed, "...... This, this is my last weapon. Anything else, I can't hold it. I'll give this to you, you trust me, can you."

"Bai Anyi" stopped responding, pressed him into a sitting position under a tree to one side, pressed down on his eyelids, and half-commanded, "Go to sleep."

Bai Anyi then went to sleep obediently and peacefully.

He had all the faults of a man who had been long in school and had never been out in society, and one of them was that once he believed in a man, he had no reservations about him.

This kind of problem, after experiencing the Jiao Qingguang thing, will still intermittently flare up, and I don't know whether I should laugh at him for being childish, or something else.

"Bai Anyi" sat quietly at his side, and in the mirror, two identical faces were reflected.

With himself, he could be childish.

After a night's rest, the duo resumed their journey.

Bai Anyi carries Bai Anyi on his back, and Bai Anyi just holds the mirror and looks at him as he fades.

On the way, they talked a lot.

And the more he talked, the more he learned, the more Bai Anyi realized that he and this personality were really two very different people.

"Bai Anyi's physical qualities were similar to those of an all-conference champion, agile, able to climb a tall tree and pick fruit in ten seconds, and his mind was much more mature than his, accepting reality very quickly, without any luck, and academically not much worse than his, with research in biology, astronomy, geology, and cooking, feeling better than him in every way. Cooking, feel everywhere is better than him head to head.

One day, before going to sleep with a full stomach, Bai Anyi, lying on a cattail spread by Bai Anyi, could not help asking him, "Why did I split into you?"

"Bai Anyi," who was eating his leftover roasted rabbit, turned his head at the sound of his voice.

Bai Anyi quickly realized that this was not very polite and hastily remedied the situation, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that you're a derivative of me ......"

Without waiting for him to finish his explanation, "Bai Anyi" replied, "Because you need me."

I don't know why, but Bai Anyi was always so honest with him, so honest that it made him blush.

"Bai Anyi" asked rhetorically, "Is ...... still a problem?"

Bai Anyi shook his head.

"Bai Anyi" flicked the fire, "Then sleep."

For a few days, they hadn't met anyone except the alien who could use bioelectricity.

Bai Anyi doesn't know how big the world is, so he spends his days on Bai Anyi's back, drawing simple maps, memorizing the paths they've taken, and observing their surroundings.

Bai Anyi wanted to be called "Bai Anyi" for convenience, but "Bai Anyi" refused.

He said, "Call me Senior White."

Bai Anyi wrapped her arms around his neck and called him nicely, "Senior Bai."

With the name calling issue resolved, they continue walking on the deserted island with just the two of them.

"Bai Anyi" asked him, "How do you want to play this game?"

Bai Anyi said, "Both of us, let's just go on."

"Bai Anyi" teased, holding up her glasses, "Ah, my little pacifist. What would you do without me?"

Bai Anyi replied, "If there were no seniors, I would kill myself."

"Bai Anyi" stopped talking and stared into his eyes.

Bai Anyi let out a bitter laugh, "Are you wondering why I didn't choose to die at the hands of that bioelectricity if I had to kill myself? ...... I don't want to die at the hands of anyone and become their points, experience value, or sin karma ...... though those who want to live wouldn't consider this a sin karma. ...... I won't play this nasty game."

When Bai Anyi didn't reply, Bai Anyi smiled to himself, "I know, I'm too naive."

"No." "Bai Anyi" said, "That's a good hold."

"But with you, it's different." Bai Anyi said, "I want to live. Because as long as I'm here, you're here."

"Bai Anyi" smiled, "Then I'll listen to my little brother. The two of us, let's just go on. No more playing."

Their journey was peaceful.

Occasionally, Bai Anyi would wake up and "Bai Anyi" would inform him, "Someone came in the night."

After Bai Anyi became nervous, "Bai Anyi" laughed again and said, "Don't be afraid. I've driven it away."

"Bai Anyi" loved to scare him like this, enjoying his little bit of panic.

And Bai Anyi is notorious for getting hit every time.

On their seventh day in the world, they came to a grove of trees when "Bai Anyi" suddenly "shushed" them and stood still.

Bai Anyi followed with bated breath.

"Bai Anyi" cooled slightly, "Someone's following us. They've been following us for a kilometer."

Bai Anyi was first nervous and then suspicious that he was lying, "What then?"

"Bai Anyi" said, "You hide. I'll go out and take a look."

Bai Anyi was stuffed by "Bai Anyi" into the hole of a huge, hollowed-out tree.

He reached out of the cave and touched Bai Anyi's head, "Wait a moment."

Bai Anyi waited for a quarter of an hour.

He became more and more anxious and looked at his wristwatch frequently.

For the first five minutes, he suspected it was a joke.

After five minutes, Bai Anyi couldn't take it easy.

...... "Bai Anyi" is not the kind of person who jokes without restraint.

There was countless dust flying in front of his eyes, Bai Anyi kept staring at the inexplicable flying dust in front of his eyes for the sake of distraction, thinking, what on earth is this.

A quarter of an hour later, footsteps sounded outside the tree hole.

Hope rose in Bai Anyi's heart, wanting to stick his head out in greeting and tell him to pull himself out.

...... He saw a pair of boots, cackling and crunching dry fallen leaves.

Those shoes don't belong to Bai Anyi.

The visitor, unknown male or female, wore white pants uniformly issued from the Inspection Center, and there were drops of liquid, falling from above, one by one, as he walked.

Bai Anyi immediately held his breath and cowered in the hole of the tree, covering his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

And the footsteps refused to leave him alone, slowly pacing closer and closer to the hole in the tree.

Eventually, a smiling face, appeared outside the hole in the tree.
