Chapter 81: Challenge

I have teammates? Can those teammates be trusted? Xing Ye thought to himself.

If the mirror was the one who erased his memory and was trying to trick him, he was doing a shoddy job. The best way to deceive somebody was to assume the identity of their most trusted person, preferably a family member or a good friend. In contrast, the mirror didn't even have a face and couldn't even make the simplest fake expressions. It'd be hard to even believe him, nevermind be deceived by him.

This was actually what made him trustworthy.

"Can you tell what I did yesterday? You should be able to say that, right?" Xing Ye asked.

According to the mirror, Xing Ye learned that he woke up at 12 in the morning and had done pretty much the same thing as he did today. The only difference was that he didn't see the mirror on the makeup cabinet and so he saw the records on his phone without knowing ghosts could exist in this world, making it very difficult for Xing Ye to believe the world could be supernatural. After thinking it over, Xing Ye decided to delete The Game of Challenging Fate to test if the contents mentioned in the app were true or not.

If the game was so powerful, then it must be like a maggot entrenched in bone, something that can't be uninstalled.

Sure enough, Xing Ye tried uninstalling it several times, but the game kept on reappearing on his phone. With that, Xing Ye finally believed the game was real.

Without anybody to lead him, Xing Ye decided to leave the patient room and look around. He wore a set of womens clothing and stayed outside for several hours, but didn't discover anything apart from running into two patients in the bathroom and a nurse on duty.

At ten in the morning, he returned to change clothes and found the mirror hidden in the closet.

By now, it was already daytime so the mirror's bloody, horror-movie font looked more comical than anything. This made yesterday's Xing Ye brazenly take a towel and try to wipe the writing off the mirror before spending the day chatting with him.
Since Xing Ye didn't remember the mirror, their intimacy points were at 0. The mirror simmered in anger- he couldn't even talk!

While the two were slowly deepening their feelings, Xing Ye suddenly had a mania episode and started going mad trying to chop off his dick. There weren't any knives in the room, so he ran into the bathroom, wanting to break the bathroom mirror to use as a weapon. Fortunately, Xing Ye placed the mirror right next to the pager. The mirror, who was only able to wiggle, struggled to hop forward and press the pager. The doctor and a group of nurses quickly hurried over and injected Xing Ye with tranquilizers.

After being tranquilized, Xing Ye passed out and didn't wake up until 11 PM. At that time, he still remembered everything that happened but under the tranquilizer's effects, he couldn't speak and his thoughts were jumbled.

He wrote the whole day's events down and placed the note by his pillow before setting the mirror on the makeup cabinet. That way, he could see it as soon as he opened his eyes.
Xing Ye was already amazing for being able to do so much under the tranquilizer's effects, but the progress bar for that day was still at zero. He hadn't been able to do anything.
The only good thing was that after his memory was reset the next day, his body seemed to have also returned to normal. The tranquilizer no longer influenced Xing Ye's thinking.

Otherwise, after several days of tranquilizers, his brain probably would've been crippled.

After hearing the mirror's story, Xing Ye knew how severe the situation was.

He had essentially wasted an entire day yesterday. If it weren't for the mirror, he would've passed the second day exactly the same as the first all the way until he was killed by the parasites the game mentioned.
