Chapter 42 Mutual achievement of soul and body
Lear has not slept well for many days.

The journey at the junction these days is somewhat unbearable for Lear. The horror and despair that are visible to the naked eye and within reach, have accumulated after returning to reality, which is extremely strong to his body and heart. shock.

So, in the past two days at home, what Lear did the most was to lie in large letters and stare at the ceiling, or use his mobile phone and computer to look for those cat videos that could really heal the soul.

Every time I return to the real world from the junction, it takes a long time to adjust.

Fortunately, although the timeline of the borderland and the timeline of reality are moving forward, they are not actually unified. One day in reality is only equivalent to a period of time in the borderland. This also gives Lear more More opportunities to rest.

Lao Feng granted Lear a three-day leave. For the first two days of these three days, Lear had been in the border area, and had no intention of stopping to rest. Now, he finally decided to return to rest and adjust his state properly. .

In the game, the time course advances as the protagonist advances the plot, but the junction where Lear travels is another reality, and time will move forward slowly but firmly.

As a result, many things in the borderlands have not actually happened yet.

For example, the massacre in Platinum Village by the spies of Omen Hunter and Bai Ernan.

But resting was not the main reason why Lear immediately returned to reality.

In Fei Ya's room, there is a full-length mirror, placed in a dark corner, facing the bed.

As for whether this pose is Fear's boudoir interest, or some kind of mysterious death ceremony in the borderland, Lear doesn't know.

But Lear clearly saw a face that did not belong to him in the mirror.

Yes, until now, Lear really discovered that the body in the junction is not his own. Although he uses this body very smoothly, without any sense of disobedience, but without a mirror, the water streams and puddles around the junction are either turbid Yes, or they are in the dark, and can only see the outline of their own face, but they can't see the real face clearly.

This shows one thing, he is a soul wearer.

hiss!
Maybe it's a dream?
No, there is a clear distinction between soul and body at the junction
So this is the dove occupying the magpie's nest?The faded ones were all dead, and the blessing would call back their wandering souls, but the soul of his own body was gone, and then he, Lear, was on top?
Hmm. Lear is completely unclear about the operation principle of the blessing, but the result of the blessing is still very clear, that is, there is no major problem with the soul and body of the faded people. The combination of the two, how strong it was before, now it Same fierce.

Think about it carefully, in the game, Lani, who is already a soul, abandoned her original body and possessed herself in the body of the petite Lani. By chance, she was found by the faded person, and she also met such a persistent girl. Hanhan talking to dolls.
Although this section in the game is to show Lani's arrogance, it also shows from the side that the fader has a good eye!
Maybe it's because of the mutual inspiration of souls?
Hmm. Looking at it this way, it seems that Rani is really a destined wife.

Sure enough, Elden's Circle is a Love Game.
Far away.

Compared with the real Lear, the face in the mirror in Fei Ya's room is more handsome and more delicate. It seems younger, more like a teenager, but the strange thing is that Lear always feels that he has touched his chin , At the beginning, it seemed that he still had a beard.

Could it be that Lear is growing inversely now?Longer and smaller?
The figure of this body is not as burly as Lear imagined, even though there are indeed many bulging muscles on his body after taking off his clothes, but in fact, after wearing the full armor, he looks quite small from the outside.

The reason for this kind of problem is also easy to understand, that is, the armor does not fit well. If there is an armor that fits the body, maybe Lear will not look so funny.

But why along the way, no one has ever underestimated Lear because of his funny appearance?
I've never noticed this before either.
don't
Doesn't this prove that Lear is growing backwards?

From a ragged old man to a ragged little Zheng Tai, why does it feel like I'm getting more and more excited
Thinking back carefully, the self in the mirror has a very conspicuous ragged cloak and rusty armor. The most attractive thing is actually the pair of eyes that are so indifferent that no matter life or death, pain or emotion, they cannot be shaken.

It's no wonder that so many people Lear met, both male and female, especially liked to look into his eyes.

The owner of those eyes must be a top expert who does not change his face when Mount Tai collapses in front of him, and whose eyes do not blink when the elk thrives on the left.

No wonder the hand holding the shield is so steady.

Sure enough, it is necessary to maintain the overall development of physical and mental health in order to be stable.

Of course, Lear also understood why he turned a blind eye to those disgusting and dirty scenes at the junction, and even maintained an absolute sense of normalcy.

The original owner of the body controlled by Lear seems to be such a person in the first place. I don’t know if he was born or acquired. Anyway, he is such a guy who doesn’t seem to have much humanity. His soul also became cold-blooded.

But when he came to the round table hall, a place where the soul is the main thing, it was indeed the first time for Lear to feel the turbulent mood swings, as well as the agitation that was almost uncontrollable due to emotions.

Perhaps, the original owner of this body is the one who can restrain the desperate and crazy side effects of the fire, and Lear just borrowed his light.

To put it simply, Lear's character design in the borderland is like this, determined by his tyrannical body, but when he returns to reality, it is his soul and himself who suffer.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Lear quickly got up from the state of lying down, and took the phone.

The caller ID on that is the landlord.

"Hello, Miss Li?"

"Go downstairs and open the door for me."

The landlord's slightly hoarse voice came.

Lear looked at the time.

It was five past seven in the evening.

Come here at this time.
"Uh, you're here, then, I'll go down right away!"

Although the community where Lear lives is not high-end, it is definitely not a bad one. It has its own unit door, and the unit door can only be accessed by swiping.

Sister Li hasn't been here for a long time, so she naturally didn't check it.

Lear hurried downstairs, opened the door of the unit, and welcomed the landlord in.

"you lost weight?"

Sister Li said something as soon as she saw Lear.

"Uh, maybe I've eaten less these days."

"Help me lift something."

"Eh."

Although Sister Li has the same surname as Li Er, she is neither a relative of Li Er, nor a friend of her own family. It is simply because Li Er rented a house, because both surnames are Li, and Li Er got Li With a little discount from his sister, his rent was underpaid by two hundred.

As for Sister Li's real name, Li Er still didn't know it. He only knew that Sister Li used to live in Dadongtou, Jincheng, far away from here.

Fortunately, Li Er usually has the habit of tidying up the house, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for Sister Li to come over and see something that cannot be seen.

but
Lier saw the three big suitcases that Sister Li had placed outside.

This is the rhythm of living in.

Hmm, there seems to be a cat cage.

The big snow-white cat stared at Lear with big black eyes.

"Just remember to help me move to the master bedroom. I'll go to the toilet."

After finishing speaking, Sister Li went up the stairs.

Well, for women, driving such a long distance does have a lot of physical problems that need to be solved.

"Oh, it looks like you're about to change to a new environment."

Through the transparent board, Lier touched the big cat in the cat cage twice. She was very quiet, and kept staring at Lier.

Three suitcases and a cat cage, Lear moved them into the house very skillfully, except for the big cat which was put in the living room first, Lear moved the rest of the luggage into the master bedroom.

Yes, the room Lear rented actually has three rooms, Lear and that little Peng each share a guest room, and the master bedroom is always vacant.

Previously, Sister Li asked them to use the master bedroom as a storeroom. They could store old clothes, mattresses, etc., as long as they didn't use the big bed in the master bedroom, and didn't care about the rest.

Now Lear finally knew why Sister Li didn't let her use the big bed in the master bedroom. It turned out that she had prepared it for herself.

Li Er doesn't know much about Sister Li, and she doesn't know why she can't live in her own villa in Dadongtou, but instead runs back to the old house and lives in the master bedroom that has been dusty for a long time. I'm going to do what I'm going to do. For more than half a year, renting Sister Li's house is not only satisfactory, but also saves a lot of money. I still need to help with this small favor.

After a while, Sister Li came to the master bedroom, leaned against the door frame and said, "Long time no see, I feel that you have lost a lot of weight."

The tone was slightly friendly, which surprised Lear a little.

Except for the signing of the rental contract and the contact when the rent is paid every month, the eldest sister of the landlord seldom has contact with Lear, and it is really the first time that she has such a close tone like now.

You know, these girls are good-looking, but they don't seem to be used to socializing. Even when they are talking about renting and giving Lear a discount, the way she talks is very weird.

That day they finished discussing the specific details of the contract, and Sister Li said: "Sign the contract, and I will treat you to dinner after signing the contract."

Then she really took Lear to dinner, and Lear wanted to refuse, but the sisters were as swift and decisive as Nefeli, and they never gave Lear a chance to decline.

Of course, being invited to a meal is not a high-end restaurant, but a restaurant in a nearby shopping mall, which is nothing to Lear,
But the scary thing is that eating with Sister Li is really a terrible torture.

It is already very embarrassing to eat at a table with someone you don't know well or a stranger. Everyone will be under a lot of psychological pressure, unless you are the one who treats guests and ask others, otherwise even For a person like Lear who is already considered a good social person, it is difficult to resist.

Under such circumstances, let alone the fact that the other party kept a straight face before, during, and after eating, did not say a word, did not even ask anything, and did not respond to anything. Think about that scene, how terrible it is How terrible.

Maybe you will say that people have stopped responding, so there is no need to continue talking, just eat your own.

but.
Sometimes, the human brain is not always awake. Who dares to say that he can always remain objective on the spot and will not be influenced by others at all. Maybe there is, but Lear is not.

What's more, at that time, Lier thought that both of them were surnamed Li, and he suddenly asked to invite him to dinner, so he subconsciously thought that Sister Li was an elder in the family who was not good at expressing, and naturally she might not be a sister of the same generation. Lear is not that old, but in the family of my hometown, there are quite a few people of this age who are Lear's aunts and aunts.

Just like the relationship between Greco and Marenia, it seems that Greco is older than Marenia, but Greco has to call people aunt, and if the seniority has to be lowered, maybe it is possible to call them grandma.

Lear quite understands him. If it is really his family, he is taking care of his little self-esteem as a young man. Of course, Lear really doesn't care about this.

However, after the meal that day, Sister Li took the initiative to talk to Lear.

Lear was very impressed.

It’s like this.

"Your name is Lear?"

"Uh, yes, my name is Lear."

"I'm also surnamed Li, and I'm a native of Jincheng. If you live in Beiwu, the rent is [-] a month. I'll give you [-] less."

"Huh? This, the previous contract"

Sister Li tore up the signed contract in front of Li Er, and said lightly: "Let's go, I have the original contract, let's print it now."

"Thank you, Miss Li!"

As a result, the monthly rent was reduced by two hundred, and that night, Sister Li returned the rent deposit to Lier.

This made Lear more firm in his previous thoughts.

But later, when I came to the room, I met Xiao Peng, my roommate who lived with me. After exchanging greetings with him, I found out after careful questioning that Sister Li also invited Xiao Peng to dinner, and it was the same.

Xiao Peng has been in the flower field for many years, and he is also a master of acting and socializing, but he has never eaten such a tortured meal. Not only was he not full, but his mentality collapsed throughout the day, Lear smiled slightly. Mentioned, chatted with Lear for a long time like complaining.

Just because of the chatting that day, the distance between the two of them has been drawn invisibly.

But Xiao Peng did not get these discounts, the rent remained as usual, and the deposit was not refunded.

Lear was very careful not to reveal his situation.

Later, Li Er specially called his hometown. Besides his mother, he also had a few elders who were familiar with the family, and confirmed that his family had no relatives in Jincheng.

Therefore, he roughly understood that this was Li Jie's unique way of choosing tenants.

What was he doing that day?Oh, it seems, it seems to be similar to the plot of talking to petite Rani in the game, asking and answering, talking to myself, eating hands shaking, and the opposite is like a puppet that doesn’t give feedback
Now, the puppet landlady's voice suddenly became friendly, and Lear couldn't help but feel vigilant.

"I eat less these days, and I'm working. It's still very important to keep fit."

Lear felt that there was nothing wrong with his response.

"Well, I came here in a hurry, I haven't asked, do you have a girlfriend?"

Don't you call it hasty, you call it a sudden attack, you are really caught off guard.

Lear slandered a few words, but still responded seriously: "Uh, I don't have a girlfriend yet, don't worry, there won't be any misunderstandings."

"Isn't it true? Actually, I think so."

I'm worried.

Lear shrugged helplessly with a smile, didn't say anything more, and focused on tidying up the master bedroom that had accumulated dust for a long time.

"Lear, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"Since you don't have a boyfriend, what do you think of me?"

"Huh?"

Li Er was a little embarrassed, stopped his movements, subconsciously straightened his body, and looked at Sister Li opposite him.

"Uh, Sister Li, do you mean what I understand?"

"Of course, just say, your first impression of me."

He heard that there are many rich wives who have their own routines for fishing innocent little faces who have just entered the society.

Hmm. Maybe Miss Li planned it in advance?

Therefore, Lear looked at the woman opposite him seriously.

How should I put it, it should be regarded as a woman who thinks that her appearance and temperament are not weaker than Melina's, and she has a light and familiar feeling on her body, a bit like Melina's 25-year-old limited edition?
But. After seeing the beautiful Fei Ya, Li Er became a little bit immune to beauty. At least the short videos on his mobile phone making sultry movements are not very seductive to him.

And to be honest, the big sister of the landlord may not be as good as Melina, at least Melina can give Lear a soulful fusion, can the big sister in front of her do it?That is of course impossible.
Although he thought so much, Lear still said: "You are very beautiful, very beautiful, but I still think this matter."

"It's nothing, just say it like this, don't make it seem like I want to keep you."

Is not it?
But the big sister on the opposite side seemed to know what he was thinking, and said immediately:

"Well, let me think about it. How old are you this year? Oh, you said you just graduated, so you should be only 23 or 27. I'm only [-]. So, why do I have to take care of you instead of just picking you up?"

"Um"

Lear was sure now that he was really blushing, and his face was burning.

The offensive of the light mature woman is really irresistible, hey!

"Porling", the voice of WeChat transfer sounded.

"2000 yuan, you keep it first, and when it's not enough, you can ask me for it."

"No, this, Miss Li, this won't work"

But the other party stretched out his slender hand, put a finger on Lear's chin, and then leaned closer, and Lear could smell the fragrance on the other party's body.

It's not a perfume smell, but a girl's unique fragrance that attracts the opposite sex.

"My name is Li Qiushi, call me sister Qiushi."

"Qiu, it's not good for sister Qiushi to do this."

"I also know that this is not good, but alas, stop pretending, my old lady is just looking for sex, you can figure it out."

After speaking, Li Qiushi began to touch Li Er's face.

How should I put it, should I say that Li Qiushi really deserves to be from Jincheng? His style of chasing men is always so straightforward.

Li Er swallowed, because Li Qiushi was so close, he didn't know where to put his hands.

But after all, he is also a man who has gone through a lot of troubles. Although he has never enjoyed the problem of being chased by a girl, he finally came back to his senses, grabbed the big sister's two hands that made trouble, and said righteously:

"Sister Qiu Shi, this progress is too fast, you should calm down first, and then we all calm down."

"Oh, alright."

Finally breaking free from the arms of his big sister, Lear ran into the toilet, turned on the tap and patted his face with cold water, using physical methods to calm himself down.

When he raised his head from the water drops, he saw himself in the mirror.

He was stunned.

The person in the mirror is himself, that's right, his facial features haven't changed in any way, but his skin is firmer, his face is paler than before, and other things basically haven't changed.

But, with just one glance, he can be sure.

this face.
So handsome!
PS: Change first and then change.
