Chapter 24: I Am Finally Able to Get Rid of My Evil Thoughts
What the hell! Ever since this damn mirror had come into my brain, I had encountered endless misfortunes. How could I say it had brought me any fortune! I had almost died a few times! Where had my fortune gone? Why had I only run into those dangerous events and the disasters!
My extremely ordinary life had been turned upside down only because I had been able to see those titles… In other words, my ordinary life had gone forever ever since that stupid mirror had entered into my brain.
Since then, I had been noticed by Lian Bing. After that we fell in love with each other while she still had the intention to kill me. And now we could have a Nice Boat ending at any time… All the things I had suffered was all because of this damn mirror!
I really was pissed off!
Moreover, it had enhanced the magic ritual without my permission. Ever since then, a decent straight guy like me had turned into a lustful man who only had dirty thoughts in his mind. And all those wretched things I had done… “Huh, you really like to kiss and tell. You have enjoyed the sex, haven’t you? I never realized you would be that merciless, Jun Jun.”
“Please shut your mouth, I’m begging you.”
“No way~ If you want me to shut my mouth, you better put that thing into my mouth~ Ho ho ho ho ho ho~” I finally realized that there was no point having a normal conversation with this psycho.
No matter what I said, she would definitely interrupt my train of thought and leave me completely speechless.
“However, it really is strange. According to the report from the investigation department, what you have been through was not safe at all. First, you have been chased by the ‘Preliminary Killer Ghost’. Then you arrived at the ‘Drive Dead’ spot and was attacked by the zombies who had just broken out of the tomb… After that, you have been involved in the ‘Ghost Extermination’ plan and stuck in the Black Street with the Killer Ghost. You almost died there…”
“Why did you…” Know everything about me? You even knew those things better than me, who was the party concerned… Also, investigation department?
I remembered Xue Qing had mentioned to me that those middle-aged men who had cleaned the house for her had been from the utility department.
The investigation department, the utility department, she even knew about the existence of the Black Street… Also, Nana had just mentioned about the word ‘organization’.
That meant the investigation department and the utility department both belonged to an unknown organization.
What did this organization do? Why would it be stationed in the Black Street? Also, this organization was able to make such a thorough investigation me…
“Stop making those groundless assumptions, Jun Jun. I’ll tell you about the truth after we come out.”
“… Fine.”
“Now let’s focus on the immediate affair. I’ll continue my topic. Jun Jun, you have been through a tough life lately. It seems that all the misfortunes have rushed to you together. Being hospitalized for twice in such a short period of time is quite a big disaster… However.” Nana smiled while saying with a meaningful look,
“If you think of this in another way, you might only be able to be alive because of the fortune which has been brought by the Yata Mirror.”
“Eh?”
“You can’t be one hundred percent sure that the Yata Mirror is the thing which has destroyed your normal life, right? Perhaps those disasters would still come to you even if you haven’t obtain the ability which was given by the Yata Mirror… In that way, an ordinary people like you would have been dead in some unknown corner. The reason why you were able to pull through over and over again is because the mirror had chosen you to be its host… Escaping from death in a great catastrophe is the luckiest thing, right?” After she had said that… I found her words quite convincing.
“Moreover, there are suddenly lots of pretty girls gathering around you. Maybe your luck with women is also brought by the Yata Mirror~ Jun Jun, you really don’t know how to appreciate your fortune, ho ho~”
“The luck with women…” That scary master, oh no, Meng Fa, that magic master had also told me that I had had a good luck in adventures with women… Maybe that really was the truth.
Fortune was an insubstantial thing which couldn’t be seen or touched. Who could tell if it was fortune or misfortune?
It was not like I was a gambler who could feel the direction of the fortune.
Anyway, it was still a blessing that I could be fancied by those girls. I owed them so much, so I had to be responsible to them.
It had been easy to play a passive role. But that was such an irresponsible attitude. Now I decided to take the initiative to mediate among them, try to know them and change them.
Of course, if I had to choose one girl from them… I still wanted to choose Lian Bing.
It was not because she was the first one who had associated with me. I just couldn’t stop thinking of her. Even though she was a necrophilia, she had a murderous impulsion, she wanted my corpse and suffered from mental dissociation… I didn’t care any of that.
I just, wanted to do something for her.
No matter how twisted she had become, I would always love to accompany her. I was even willing to die in her hands… I genuinely wanted her to be a normal person.
I had already witnessed the worst situation in the Spiral Nightmare I had had just now. So there was already nothing to be afraid of… I had seen her holding corpses and heads, but at that time, I had only felt sad instead of angry… I had felt sad for her. I had also regretted that I hadn’t not been able to change her. I had hated myself letting her fall into madness.
For me, since I didn’t dislike her, it meant that I liked her. Since I didn’t hate her, it meant that I had already fallen in love with her.
Hmm… It might be a bit ashamed for me to say this, but I decided to admit this inwardly.
I loved Lian Bing. I wanted to be a man who deserved her.
“Wow~~~ Innocent virgin is confessing deep down! I feel so sour and sweet. Hmm~~~ Aye aye aye, your confession has really got me there.”
“Ah-hem” Even I felt a bit bashful hearing her saying that. I lowered my my head and stroked my nose, feeling my face burning.
Come on… Stop peeking at my thought right now!
“Whatever you say! It’s my real feeling right now!” I was not an irresolute person. I only followed my own heart without caring about the thing I did was right or wrong. I wouldn’t become a burden to everyone by being unable to make decisions!
However, as for a girl like Lan Hua, I really couldn’t do anything about her since I had already made things clear to her but she still kept pestering me… Come to think about it, Yu Hui was always like this. She told me every time that protecting me was her lifetime duty. Even if I fell in love with someone else, it wouldn’t change this duty of her… But why did she put on such a lonely expression on her face when saying that to me!
Xue Qing was another big trouble! She always made intimate contact with me in front of Lian Bing in order to irritate her. It almost liked that Xue Qing wanted to provoke Lian Bing on purpose. Also, I had those problems with my sisters which I had never really solved… Although I felt bad about them wanting to have a closer relationship with me all the time, I still didn’t want to leave my cute sisters to some random guys.. I meant, absolutely not! I had to find reliable men like me, but ten times superior than me for them. Those men had to be able to make commitment!
Eh, I felt a heartache again. Although I had just talked decisively, it was still hard to solve all my problems.
I thought Nana would laugh at me being too over-confident. However, instead of sneering at me, she gave out a wry smile with her eyebrows slightly knitted, saying,
“You will suffer a great loss by being too righteous!”
“I don’t care, I don’t know how to lie after all. I can’t lie to myself either.” I couldn’t even lie to others, not to mention myself…
“What a ‘pure’ boy…”
“Pure?”
“Perhaps your pure and upright mind has attracted the Yata Mirror… Yata Mirror originates from the Water Mirror from China and is also called ‘Reflection’. Meanwhile, Yata has a meaning of hugeness and beauty. As the saying goes, human’s mind can also be reflected. The fact that the mirror has chosen you to be the host shows clearly what kind of person you are.” It was the first time someone had praised me like that… “The Yatagarasu behind the mirror has another famous name in China.”
“Three-legs golden raven.” The most famous legend about the three-legs golden raven is called Houyi shooting the sun.
In the legend, all the tens children of Dijun and Xihe were suns who lived in the East China Sea. There was a huge tree which called Fu Sang in the sea… For a while, the ten suns liked to wander around when they had nothing to do. As a result, they dried the ground. After that, Houyi shot down nine of the suns for the people.
The remaining one went back to their home and changed its name to Yatagarasu.
It was said that the Yatagarasu had always worn the Yata mirror around its neck.
“That’s right. Three-legs golden raven stands for sun and… integrity. If your are a evil person inwardly, the Yata Mirror wouldn’t have chosen you.” Stop, stop, stop making compliments about me. I couldn’t take it anymore… “Since you already became Lili’s master, I don’t need to worry that you would do anything dirty to Lili! Ha ha~”
“I wouldn’t do it anyway…”
“I know.” Before I could finish my sentence, Nana put her index finger on my lips while saying that smilingly with a lonely expression on her face.
“I just pity my daughter~ Ha… Like mother, like daughter. She will eventually be hurt by love like me…”
“Miss Yang hasn’t lost her heart to me… Why did you say she would be hurt by love?”
“She will. I am her mother, and I can guarantee you that.”
Her tone was exactly like the one my mother had had when she had told me that Ke Ling would fall in love with me… It seemed that mother and daughter really had some connections. Alas, would Miss Yang really… “Jun Jun, if you only are deeply in love with one person, I couldn’t say anything about it. But if you want to open your harem, don’t forget to count my daughter in! Ah, I can also be one of your lovers… Ho ho, how’s that sound? Threesome with mother and daughter, you are gonna love that!”
“You really couldn’t be decent more than three seconds! Already showed your true colors now, you ruffian!”
“Ha ha~ Fine, stop talking nonsense~ I have already told you everything. Now we should start solving the problems.” You were the one who kept talking nonsense!
Huh? Solve the problem. Did it mean… “You can remove it?”
“No.” Then what the hell had you talked about! You just let me rejoice too soon.
I rolled my eyes to her while showing a disdainful look to her. Then Nana pouted while retorting me,
“Hey, even if the mirror has lost most of its power, it was still a magical piece! I can’t remove it with no difficulty!” Her words sounded reasonable. It was like stuck with an unwanted guest.
Though this mirror came in without invitation, it was still hard to send it away.
“But, even if I couldn’t remove it from your brain, I could still change the magic ritual which supports it.”
“Oh oh! That’s possible?”
“Yeah. Actually, any magic ritual that could support it would work. It was not difficult to change the structure of the magic ritual and alter its function. Hey, Jun Jun, you will lose one of your excuses to act indecently!” Even if she was teasing at me now, I didn’t have the mood to refute her.
Because I was too happy.
Although the problem which had haunted me for a long time hadn’t been solved completely, I couldn’t at least be free from half of my problem.
Was there anymore more exciting than recovering my own will power!
When I was asleep, I didn’t need to worry if the light was on. I didn’t even need to worry that I would press my sisters on the bed when I lost control of myself!
Thank god! I finally didn’t need to be so disturbed!
