Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 675 - 63: The Tyrant Returns Again (Major - , Ready to be Slaughtered)_3

"When you smile at the mirror, the mirror also smiles at you. So... I'm sorry, Yuan Wu, I was thinking too much just now. Actually, I'm very happy living here with Yuan Wu. If Yuan Wu is happy, then I'll be very happy."

"Even though you don't smile, it's okay, I can tell, Yuan Wu might not know what happiness feels like, but I can feel it, and the mirror doesn't lie."

Yuan Wu gazed at the mirror, for the first time, he truly longed to live with someone for a long time, because this person was his closest companion, and because this person understood his joy and sorrow.

The most genuine joy and sorrow.

Yuan Wu thought he must treat the mirror even better in the future.

He also wanted to know what the outside world was like, to bring back beautiful clothes for the mirror.

Doctor Qin occasionally brought some trinkets from the outside world. Most of the items were bought from daily goods stores within the Pyramid, located on the fourth level of Lincoln Fortress.

Yuan Wu and the mirror, and that vibrant and bustling world, were actually only six hundred meters apart.

He believed that one day, he would be able to leave with the mirror. But since then, the mirror never brought up leaving the evolution area again.

She continued to be very happy, treating every day with Yuan Wu as if it were her last.

"I really want to become Yuan Wu's bride."

"I want to marry Yuan Wu."

"Yuan Wu, it's so wonderful to be part of your family."

"Hey, I really hope to leave a mark on your soul, so I can find you in the next life."

It was the same as always, the same memories, with countless versions. Words said at a point in time also contained many similar elements.

But in every version, the mirror was deeply expressing her affection. These words should've been said by a boy, but it seemed that the mirror felt she would lose something if she didn't express her feelings sooner.

As time ticked by, Yuan Wu thought he would forever live a tranquil life with the mirror, until enough benefits had been brought to the organization, and then he could leave with her.

To that world only six hundred meters away, yet so unattainably far.

But then, the mirror suddenly disappeared.

That day, Yuan Wu returned home as usual, but he didn't hear the mirror happily welcoming him back.

The house was empty, devoid of everything.

The mirror's clothes, luggage, and the decorative items around the house were all gone.

It was as if she had never been there.

Yuan Wu suddenly remembered that this morning when they parted, the mirror cried. It had been like this for days; she couldn't stand to see Yuan Wu leave.

As if she wouldn't be able to wait for his return once he left.

So every time Yuan Wu came back, she was exceptionally happy, as if she had snatched time from the grip of death itself.

That morning, the mirror had seemed to sense something.

She held Yuan Wu, her voice choked with tears, and whispered low:

"I like Yuan Wu the most."

Memories overlapped at that moment, still with many versions, but only with slight differences in action.

And that one phrase was the same in every version—

I like Yuan Wu the most.

After that sentence, the mirror vanished from Yuan Wu's world.

In a frenzy, Yuan Wu sought out the mirror, asking everyone who had ever seen him with the mirror.

But strangely, everyone's reaction was to ask, "What mirror? Who's the mirror?"

As if this person had never existed.

It wasn't until Doctor Qin told Yuan Wu that there was no such thing as the mirror, that Yuan Wu's expression turned ashen.

But he did not give up and continued to search for the mirror every day—stubbornly.

Yet, he knew in his heart that the mirror was probably… gone.

All of it gradually became a knot in Yuan Wu's heart.

He certainly didn't believe what these people said; he was just sad to realize that all these people, including Doctor Qin who often brought gifts for him and the mirror, were fake.

Only the mirror was real, and the fake ones remained in this world, while the real one had disappeared.

On reflection, the mirror must've discovered something. From the day she suddenly wanted to leave this place, the life of the mirror and himself did not change, it even became sweeter, but there was always that feeling of being on the brink of departure.

As if she were carefully guarding something that was doomed to be lost.

Yuan Wu, who had never known anger or joy, felt, for the first time, overwhelmed by deep sadness and fear—as if his emotional container were stuffed full, and those feelings that were no longer his began to surface.

Anger started to show in his eyes.

But at that moment, Yuan Wu's memories disappeared.

"I told you before, you should treat her as your everything, your entire world. You might have listened, but you didn't do it, and now she's lost. But it's alright, I will give you another chance. This time, you better take good care of her."

Just before forgetting something important, Yuan Wu saw Xi He again, a being akin to a deity for the entire evolution area, who seemed to take a special interest in him.

As the Anai reagent was injected, Yuan Wu's entire consciousness began to vibrate violently.

The third-person perspective of Yuan Wu and the first-person perspective began to overlap at that moment.
