Chapter 112: The Secondary Personality Says He Loves Me (1)
Four o’clock in the morning.
On a street diverging from the city center, the streetlights flickered on and off.
Whenever there was a slight rustle in the wind, a chorus of barking dogs would echo from the end of the street.
On the right side of the street was an endless wheat field, while on the left were rows of shops, hanging all sorts of eye-catching signboards.
Only, at this hour, there was no one on the street, and all the businesses had closed for the night.
Outside of only one shop hung a swaying large red lantern.
The wooden signboard above the door was barely over two feet long; during the day, amidst the bustling crowds and heavy traffic, it would be very hard to spot.
Though small, the signboard was sufficient, as it bore only a single palm-sized black character:
[Yuan].
Xiao Ji realized that he seemed to have stopped under this shopfront after walking for a long time.
He uncontrollably raised his head to look at the storefront, then reached out, pushed open the wooden door, and walked inside.
The interior furnishings were unbearably messy and completely disorganized, holding everything from various ancient Oriental bronze and porcelain wares to Western medieval-style necklaces and earrings.
Subsequently, he felt himself clear a small empty space on the sofa and sit down, before pouring a cup of tea for himself and saying,
“I’ve made up my mind.”
The voice came from Xiao Ji’s throat, but the words weren’t spoken by Xiao Ji.
It was as if he was imprisoned within someone’s body; his consciousness was clear, but his actions were completely beyond his control.
After he spoke, a figure suddenly popped up from behind the chaotic counter. Wearing glasses, the person looked at Xiao Ji with a hint of surprise on their face:
“Mr. Xiao… Yinnian, it’s a pleasure to see you again.”
“I hope this wish wasn’t made casually. The risks are very high. If something goes wrong in the middle, neither you nor the other person inside your body will be able to come back. Are you willing to bear the consequences?”
Xiao Ji knew that the shop owner wasn’t speaking to him at this moment.
He silently summoned with a slight headache:
A crackling sound of electrical current rang out, immediately followed by the familiar, cold female electronic voice:
[Enforcee, please receive the task details.]
This was an intricately complex world. Amidst the intersections and collisions of space-time and planes, some rifts had emerged.
And human beings, regardless of which plane they were from, were most adept at exploiting loopholes.
While maintaining the balance of certain planes or simply seeking amusement from them, they infiltrated some higher-dimensional powers outwards to fulfill the wishes of ordinary people that they could never achieve in their entire lifetimes.
And these ordinary people, in order to realize their own selfish desires, would willingly reduce themselves to being tools for these higher-ups—whether to maintain balance or provide amusement.
Xiao Yinnian was originally a senior executive at a private enterprise.
He lived a comfortable bourgeois lifestyle, had good looks, a great body, and was highly disciplined.
Achieving this level of success at twenty-seven made him undisputedly young and promising, and the ideal partner in the eyes of countless young girls.
Xiao Yinnian had always lived freely and happily. Both his work and his personal life were in a state he was deeply satisfied with.
That was until three months ago, when he fainted at home without any warning.
When he woke up again, he found himself sitting on the rooftop terrace.
Terrified, he scrambled down from the rooftop on all fours, covered in a cold sweat, and took a long time to regain his composure.
Initially, he thought he had been sleepwalking or had developed some other psychiatric issue.
But after seeing a doctor, no abnormalities were found.
Not even two days later, a similar incident occurred again.
This time, when Xiao Yinnian woke up after fainting, he discovered that the money he had saved up for a long time to settle down in Haicheng had been exchanged for a flashy, bright red supercar.
Consequently, he installed security cameras in his home.
Sure enough, he discovered that after his third fainting spell, someone rapidly took over his body and performed actions he would never normally do in his daily life.
It was then that Xiao Yinnian realized he might have awakened a secondary personality.
And this secondary personality had clearly impacted his normal life.
Over the past month, he had visited renowned doctors at major hospitals, but he consistently failed to lure out this secondary personality using hypnosis or other methods to have a proper conversation.
Thus, by a stroke of luck, Xiao Yinnian arrived at [Yuan].
Hoping someone here would have a way to separate his “secondary personality.”
Xiao Yinnian signed a contract, reducing himself to one of the “upper tier’s” tools for amusement.
Originally, he merely wanted to rely on his own strength to eliminate this unknown secondary personality within his body as early as possible.
Who would have expected that, amidst the guidance of various tasks and hovering on the line between life and death, his secondary personality would also play a massive role and forge a revolutionary bond with him.
Xiao Yinnian initially thought that once he accumulated enough points, he would upgrade his wish, allowing the secondary personality to detach from him, reconstruct his own physical body, and become lifelong brothers with him.
But unexpectedly, his secondary personality had his own ideas. Being deeply calculating and fearing that Xiao Yinnian would eliminate him, he chose to strike first.
During the final wish redemption, he seized control of the body and wished for Xiao Yinnian to disappear forever so that he could permanently take his place.
[Task: Destroy the entire wishing system, clean up the fugitive’s soul fragments, replace Xiao Yinnian’s secondary personality, acquire your own physical body, and win Xiao Yinnian’s true heart.]
Xiao Ji pondered for a moment: [Who is the fugitive? The founder of the wishing system, or its biggest beneficiary?]
037 said: [Information is currently incomplete. You’ll need to uncover the mystery yourself, but the higher-ups have given the order: they would rather kill by mistake than let anyone slip away.]
Xiao Ji watched as Xiao Yinnian picked up the pen and unhesitatingly signed the three large characters [Xiao Yinnian] on the contract, and said faintly:
[I truly thank you for this completely novel encounter.]
Hearing this, 037 rapidly disappeared.
Xiao Yinnian handed the signed contract to the shop owner and asked him,
“When do I start doing the tasks? How do I get there?”
The owner stamped the contract while raising a finger to point at the chaotic mess of items in his shop:
“Pick an item you like and keep it on you. When the time comes, it will bring you to the task location.”
Looking at the room full of a dazzling array of items, Xiao Yinnian’s temples started to throb.
Just as he was about to casually pick something and leave quickly, Xiao Ji suddenly spoke up:
“On the second cabinet on the left, third shelf down, the seventh partition from the right, there is a jade pendant.”
The voice echoed in Xiao Yinnian’s mind, immediately startling him.
This was the first time in three months that he had successfully communicated with his secondary personality.
Xiao Yinnian tentatively summoned Xiao Ji in his mind:
“Hello? Hi there, can you hear me speak? Please reply if you receive this.”
Xiao Ji silently sighed, making no sound.
Xiao Yinnian just kept chattering away in his mind, saying “hello” over and over.
Xiao Ji could only softly reply to him once more: “I’m here.”
