Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 673 - 63: Return of the Tyrant (Major - , can be slaughtered)
```
Drip... In the increasingly tranquil world, the sound of a water droplet suddenly emerged.
Yuan Wu lifted his head, and when he opened his eyes, all the pain had already blurred, and everything in his line of sight had long since changed scenery. It was as if he had never experienced a life-or-death struggle.
The tide of beasts had vanished, and so had the pain on his body.
He roughly understood.
He had heard from senior Akasi before that at the brink of death, one's life would flash before their eyes like a spinning lantern.
He would encounter the regrets in his heart, as well as the good and the painful memories.
Yuan Wu felt at a loss, only sensing that time had stopped in this moment, and slowly materializing in his view was a strange face...
"We'll meet again tomorrow, won't we?"
"Um..."
"My name is Mirror."
"I... My name is Yuan Wu."
"What a strange name."
Mirror had treasure blue hair tied in a ponytail, unlike the other experimental subjects, she seemed lively and cute, not bearing that heavy air of gloom.
Perhaps it was because she was as young as he was, but he seemed much more wooden in comparison.
Yuan Wu didn't understand why these memories came to mind; it was strange, as he didn't feel any particular emotion upon meeting this girl...
This third-person perspective memory was slowly transforming into a first-person perspective memory. He watched as the person identical to himself became gradually lost in thought.
"But you saved me today, thank you... It's actually my first time being rescued in this place, even though people in the same cabin hardly talk to each other."
"Alright..."
Yuan Wu had absolutely no idea how to converse, and he suddenly realized that all of this was just a memory, and he was about to die. He wanted to meet senior Akasi, to see Lord Tang Xian, and to see Xiao Jiu and Tang, who had become his friends these past days.
But he just couldn't walk out.
It seemed as if this girl named Mirror still had something very important to say to him.
"But I have to go back now... Yuan Wu, where do you live?"
Without speaking, Yuan Wu just pointed to a certain place.
"Ha! That place is full of weirdos... Ah, no, full of elites."
Mirror's eyes sparkled; she was always good at controlling her emotions. Seeing Yuan Wu wasn't much of a talker, she wasn't in a hurry and said:
"Goodbye, Yuan Wu, thank you for protecting me."
"Good... goodbye."
Yuan Wu kept his head down all the while, only slowly lifting it to watch Mirror's departing figure.
Not until Mirror's silhouette had disappeared did he remain standing there, for a long long time.
"Do you like that girl? Want to protect her? Okay, I'll allow you to protect her, but mere liking is not enough. If one day she dies, no matter if it's related to you or not, the responsibility will be yours. You must be prepared for this to properly protect someone. Can you do it?"
Xi He's sudden appearance startled Yuan Wu.
"You even gave her your name, it seems you really care about this girl."
Yuan Wu was confused; he was still quite unfamiliar with Xi He. He had only seen Xi He once before, and it was Xi He who had sent him on this mission.
"I can decide all of this, provided that you are willing to protect her with your entire world. From today onwards, she is your family," Xi He said with a casual tone that seemed to hold the power to decide the fate of the world.
As if possessed, Yuan Wu nodded.
Today was actually just a mission, and there was a deliberately crafted atmosphere to it, all for the purpose of making Yuan Wu meet Mirror.
Similar things had happened before, like when Number Seven met Akasi, or when Kritos met his family.
A young heart is always lonely. Xi looking at Yuan Wu's expression said:
"From today on, you are a family member to Mirror. You must protect her, she is your one and only, your everything. She is a mirror, and as you do for her, she will do the same for you."
After leaving this message, Xi He departed.
What Yuan Wu didn't expect was that the next day, when he opened the cabin's door, he really saw Mirror, clean and dressed, having washed off the bloodstains, quietly waiting for something.
"Wow, we meet again... Wait, do you live here?" Mirror greeted him with her lively and bright personality.
Yuan Wu nodded in bewilderment, unable to believe that everything was really as that person had said.
"How come you're... here?" Yuan Wu still asked in confusion.
"It's an organizational transfer. I thought I would have to fight several battles to be promoted to this unit, but strangely, after I went back yesterday, someone brought me here soon after."
Mirror's eyes widened as she suddenly thought of something.
"You're not some young master within the organization, are you?"
"What?"
"Is this your room?"
"Yes."
"But... this is also my room."
Mirror said as she flipped her name badge to show Yuan Wu. Yuan Wu looked and saw it was indeed so.
"Eh... Are we living together?" Mirror looked at Yuan Wu with disbelief.
Yuan Wu's face instantly turned red, even though he didn't know what it meant.

Although Mirror was outgoing, she was not naive and, looking at Yuan Wu's expression, she vaguely guessed something.
