Chapter 377: Chapter 377 Causality_1

"This is indeed quite novel," you paused, asking, "What are the conditions for its creation?"

"I don’t know," Hu Meili shook her head.

"Then let’s talk about your elder cousin now. Has she also produced a Twin Soul?"

"Yes. It happened half a month ago. One day, my cousin was supposed to work the night shift, but she switched with a colleague at the last minute. When she got home after her shift, she found an extra pair of shoes in the house, identical to the ones on her feet." Hu Meili’s expression changed as she swallowed with a sense of empathy before continuing, "After that, she discovered her cousin-in-law was in the bedroom doing that kind of thing with another woman."

At this point, Hu Meili’s expression seemed somewhat unnatural, carrying the bashfulness that girls would have.

Despite Hu Meili’s usual carefree demeanor, she was very conservative. According to what Zhang Zifeng said, their relationship had developed to a point where they still had just held hands.

"At that time, my cousin was completely dumbfounded. Her husband was famously honest, very considerate towards her, and had never been unfaithful, let alone bring a woman home to mess around," she said.

"And then what happened?"

"My cousin is relatively calm. She didn’t confront them on the spot. Instead, she stood outside the door to see who the woman was. But when she saw the woman’s face, she was frightened! That woman was no one else but herself, a woman who looked exactly like her!"

Hearing this, you felt as if you were entering the story, your expression tensing up as well. Though a bit hackneyed, the scenario of catching a cheater in the act was something that anyone would find intriguing.

"My cousin did not burst in on them but left quietly instead."

"That doesn’t make sense. Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t she break into a fight, tear her clothes, slap her face, throw sulfuric acid?"

Your comment earned a roll of the eyes from Hu Meili: "My cousin has a master’s degree in nursing, and when she can’t sleep during night shifts, she likes to read horror novels for entertainment. She quickly concluded that the woman was her Twin Soul. Although a Twin Soul is separated from the main body, it is not a real person, yet because of that, it is more sensitive than anyone. If it gets upset, something truly terrifying could happen. My cousin didn’t want to make a big fuss, so she chose to bear it silently and observe behind the scenes."

"What happened after that?"

"At first, her Twin Soul only appeared occasionally, typically when she was working night shifts. The Twin Soul would cook for my cousin-in-law, do laundry, and carry on as any ordinary couple would. My cousin, due to her work, had seldom spent time with her husband, and they hadn’t had a child in their three years of marriage. My cousin-in-law had always wanted a child, and although my cousin also desired this, she had no way to achieve it. The appearance of the Twin Soul seemed to fulfill my cousin’s wish."

Upon hearing this, you finally understood.

"I got it. The specific conditions for the creation of a Twin Soul must be an inner struggle, something the original is desperately grappling with but can’t resolve. The Twin Soul emerges to accomplish the unresolved matters," you tapped on your forehead, then looked at Hu Meili, "But this means your cousin’s Twin Soul is even less likely to leave, right?"

"Yes," Hu Meili nodded.

"According to my friend, although there are cases in which Twin Souls and their origins coexist peacefully, basically none of them end well. And what my cousin fears the most now is that the Twin Soul will become pregnant with her husband’s child."

"A Spiritual Body pregnant with a human’s child?" you frowned, "That seems unlikely."

"There was such a case in Yamato. A woman who had been frail and bedridden for over twenty years desperately wanted to run under the sun, and so she produced a Twin Soul. Her Twin Soul met and fell in love with a man, they married, and she even became pregnant with his child. A year later, the original died, the child was born, and the Twin Soul took the place of the original, living on in this world."

Deep in thought, you mused, "Everything in the world follows a cycle of cause and effect. The lack of interaction due to work, leading to no offspring, resulting in your cousin’s constant preoccupation—these are the seeds she planted. As for the outcome, well, that will depend on your cousin’s own decision."

"Decision?"

"Yes," you nodded, "As I just mentioned, causality is a complex logical issue. A mishandled situation can lead to a very unexpected outcome. To achieve a desirable resolution will depend on your cousin’s choices. There’s an old saying, you can’t have both fish and bear’s paws. Your cousin may be sensitive due to her long night shifts causing severe hormonal imbalances, in which case it’s unlikely she’ll become pregnant. It’s like those celebrities who have to take a break for a year and a half to recuperate before they can have children."

"So, what should she do?"

"Let her make a choice. Either continue working as she is, letting things take their course, or she quits her job to calm down, calls her husband and Twin Soul together, and sits down to talk with both of them."

"Talk together? The Twin Soul is not a mistress. She has all of my cousin’s memories, and she can create new ones through contact. Moreover, the Twin Soul and the original can’t sense each other; she’s like another cousin, how can they talk?"

"Since the Twin Soul has an independent character, she’s a new person. If you want to solve this issue, all three of them must sit down together. Otherwise, the situation will only escalate." As you said this, you suddenly asked, "Does the Twin Soul know she’s a Spiritual Body?"

"That, I’m not so sure about. My cousin said she’s never confronted them."

"Then the Twin Soul probably doesn’t know she’s actually a Spiritual Body. Although she only appears at specific times, she still considers herself the original. So, I think that only by calling the Spiritual Body out to realize her own identity, allowing your cousin to make a decision in front of her, might the Twin Soul possibly disappear."

Hu Meili scratched her head: "President, do you think this will work? I’m worried it could blow up into a big issue, and I fear my cousin might do something rash. I’ll call them out this afternoon; could you help them resolve this?"

With a shrug: "That’s the only way. After all, ordinary people would be scared to death by such a situation, not to mention negotiating with a Spiritual Body."
