Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Choice_1

As you spoke, you stood up and said to Hu Meili, "Hurry up and call your elder sister, and tell her not to seek any Taoists or similar people to exorcise spirits. From what we know so far, the Twin Soul is not an evil spirit, and it cannot be killed by outsiders. Doing so will only deepen its malice, making the situation very complicated and dangerous! Lives could be at stake!"

Hu Meili quickly stood up and dashed towards the dormitory.

"Ah, these days, anything really can happen."

Watching Hu Meili’s receding figure, you couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

"What, have you cold-heartedly rejected another girl?"

A familiar voice came from behind you. Turning around, you were slightly surprised to find Wu Qiyi standing there, looking charmingly lively.

At this moment, dressed in nothing fancier than a light blue casual outfit with a white scarf, she resembled a snow lotus blooming on Celestial Mountain, pristine and understatedly elegant, beautiful without being ostentatious.

Looking at her with a smile, you asked, "I haven’t seen you these past few days, have you been on a date with some handsome guy?"

Without getting annoyed, her face, as perfect as a blooming flower, she said, "I’ve been gathering some things. Tomorrow I plan to have a date with a bunch of cute boys and girls."

Taken aback for a moment, it really hadn’t occurred to you she would say something like that, you scratched your head, "Where to?"

"I can’t tell you yet, but I’m asking you, will you come?"

Shaking your head, you said with a smile, "Alright, I guess I was born to be kept busy."

Wu Qiyi pursed her lips in a coy smile: "It’s settled then, tomorrow morning at six, we’ll meet at the school gate."

During lunchtime, Zhang Zifeng called you, asking to meet you at a residential building.

When you drove to the building, you found Zhang Zifeng and Hu Meili sitting downstairs, looking grave.

Seeing them like this, you quickly walked over: "What happened?"

"My cousin fainted after finding out the truth, and now my elder sister is looking after him," Hu Meili said as she stood up with a sigh.

"Has the Twin Soul shown up yet?"

Hu Meili shook her head: "Not for now. My sister said the Twin Soul seems to only appear when she is in the hospital, taking her place doing housework and keeping my brother-in-law company."

After a moment of thought, you said to Hu Meili, "Have your elder sister come downstairs now, pretending to go to work as usual."

"Will that work?"

"I’m not sure either, but it’s best to deal with this before your brother-in-law wakes up. Once the Twin Soul is gone, it’s a matter between your sister and your brother-in-law, which should be easier to handle."

"Okay," Hu Meili nodded, took out her cell phone, and made a call, "Sister, come downstairs first, just like you’re going to work."

About ten minutes later, a haggard-looking woman slowly walked out.

"Mei Li."

"Sister," Hu Meili quickly went up to her.

"Mei Li, I can’t hold on much longer, it’s too painful, too hard."

According to Mei Li, her cousin loved her husband very deeply, which was also why she could not bear to tell him the truth, fearing he wouldn’t be able to withstand the blow.

"Sister, it’s going to be all right, it will be over soon," Hu Meili said as she embraced her elder sister, her own eyes reddening.

"Had I known it would turn out this way, I would rather have not told him and just let things continue as they were."

"You can’t say that, some things have to be faced. If you keep running away, sooner or later she will replace you. Then, she’ll not only take your husband and your home, but she’ll take you too." You walked up to Hu Meili’s elder sister and comforted her, "Don’t worry, it’s not hard to handle this, it mainly depends on your resolve."

"My resolve?" Hu Meili’s elder sister looked up at you.

"Hmm, the Twin Soul is derived from your Three Souls and Seven Spirits; initially, she was acting according to your previous thoughts, like looking after your husband and having children, but once she gradually mastered her new memories, she would scheme to gain more."

Pausing for a moment, you continued, "However, the Twin Soul cannot yet depart from the original body. Her coming and going are dependent on your decision. In other terms, you must choose between your job and your family. If you choose your job, she will continue to act as you, and there will be a delicate balance between you two. But this balance is easily broken, especially if she becomes pregnant with your husband’s child. Although the chances of a Spiritual Body getting pregnant are low, there has been chaos recently, with Demons and Monsters rampant, making pregnancy for a Spiritual Body not impossible. At that time, you and she will completely separate; she will be her own person, your husband’s wife, and the child’s mother."

"And what about me?"

"You?" you chuckled. "You will still be you, just that all connections between you two will be severed completely. You’ll appear just like twin sisters to everyone."

"No way! Absolutely not!" Hu Meili’s cousin became very resolute.

"Since you’ve chosen family, you need to be determined both in will and attitude. Wait, when the Spiritual Body appears, during your conversation with her, you mustn’t show the slightest hesitation, not outwardly or in your heart. You have to be entirely steadfast in your beliefs."

"Alright, I understand!" Hu Meili’s cousin nodded firmly.

"By the way, which floor do you live on?"

"My cousin lives on the eleventh floor," Hu Meili answered for her cousin.

Glancing up, you looked towards the eleventh floor as the Sen Luo Curse Mark slowly appeared in your pupils.

After a quick look, you said to Hu Meili and her cousin, "She’s already shown up."

"Ah, then let’s go!"

Hu Meili took her cousin’s arm, preparing to go upstairs.

"Wait a second, you don’t need to go up there; this is something outsiders can’t solve."

"But what if she tries to hurt my cousin?"

You smiled and said, "I’ve already mentioned that the Twin Soul is another version of oneself. In this world, there’s likely no one who understands your cousin better than she understands herself."

Hu Meili’s cousin nodded and, patting Hu Meili’s shoulder, said, "Mei Li, don’t worry. Your sister can handle this."

With that, Hu Meili’s cousin entered the building with a resolute expression.

"Mu Yun, what should we do now?" Zhang Zifeng asked.

"Wait."

"Wait?" Zhang Zifeng looked toward the eleventh floor, "just waiting like this doesn’t seem right; shouldn’t we take some precautions in case they start to argue?"

Without opening your mouth, Hu Meili sat calmly by the flowerbed and said to Zhang Zifeng, "My cousin has always been very easy-going and gentle, she never quarrels with anyone, let alone gets physical. I think they should be able to sit down and have a proper talk."

Half an hour drifted away through a few songs. You, who had been leisurely listening to music with your eyes closed, half-reclining in the car seat, suddenly started, then opened your eyes and looked towards the eleventh floor.

Soon after, you smiled.

Quickly, the window on the eleventh floor opened, and Hu Meili’s cousin waved at you guys.

Zhang Zifeng stepped aside and asked, "Is it resolved?"

"Yes, you can go up."

"Alright."

Hearing this, Hu Meili rushed upstairs without a second thought.

Zhang Zifeng was about to leave when you advised him, "Officer Zhang, humans are the most intelligent beings; many unbelievable things can happen to a person. As long as one is alive, unpredictable events can occur. I think you should take the initiative more often. Youth flies by in the blink of an eye."

About to leave, Zhang Zifeng turned back to give a slight smile, then chased after the figure of Hu Meili...
