Xing Ye: "..."

The little mirror really was silly. How could a bone protrude out from his waist?

But then who would've expected the little mirror to check between his legs and exclaim, alarmed, "It's not there! Is it growing on your waist now?"

He jerked, and another series of crashes sounded. He really wondered what body he had switched into, it almost even resembled a broken gong.

"Opposing fate players really have bad luck, huh. Crossdressing, fine, but now even your... that thing is gone? Or is it growing on your waist now? And you don't have a right hand either. Could you be a deformed child?"

"Calm down, calm down." Even with something growing on his waist, Xing Ye could still console the little mirror. "Don't be anxious. Can you feel the protruding thing and see if it's really... that?"

In fact, Xing Ye was also a little worried. He couldn't really be that unlucky, right?

"I'm a bit scared..." The little mirror said.

"Don't be scared," Xing Ye continued to comfort him, "I don't think my current body is human. I have a few ideas, but I'm not completely sure. Try twisting the thing on my waist."

The little mirror slowly reached out to twist it, "My movements are really clumsy and it's hard to move my fingers. It's almost like my bones turned rusty."

Although he was very slow, he finally managed to twist the thing on Xing Ye's waist. A series of clunking noises sounded, just like winding up a toy.

With the rhythm of the coils, Xing Ye felt his body recovering strength.

It looks like his idea was right. He was no longer a human.

When the system was giving the introduction, Xing Ye already started to have his doubts. From start to finish, the words person or human were never mentioned. The terms used were all like 'resident', 'resident that speaks the truth', 'ordinary citizen', 'resident's wish'. Why was it 'resident' and not 'person'? The word choice was very unsettling.

Now he understood. It was because he wasn't a person.

The little mirror twisted the thing on his waist until it could no longer turn. Xing Ye raised his left hand. The sluggish feeling had disappeared and the clattering sounds were quieter.

Xing Ye remembered when he wanted to move his right hand and heard a clanging sound, like something had fallen.

Once he could move, he immediately felt around the place he remembered it had fallen and found... half an arm.

There was still a black and white wristband around the arm. When Xing Ye picked up the arm, it released a faint glow.

"That should be the winder," Xing Ye said as he rubbed the thing on his waist, "And I'm a human puppet- or rather, a toy human."

The mirror could be considered an experienced player and didn't panic at Xing Ye's words. He patted his stomach, creating a loud clang like beating on a gong. "That's good, that's good. You almost scared me to death earlier."

"Why are you always worried about the most unimportant things?" Xing Ye smiled, "I've even crossdressed, how could I still be scared of becoming a puppet?"

Right now, Xing Ye urgently needed to know more about the mission and their current situation. He had the mirror help him hold his right arm while he used his left arm to tap the black and white wristband to see the mission details.
