The four bought all things needed for dinner and breakfast. Afterward, they went ho to make dinner. Well, it was only Ye Yuyan and Lou Wei in the kitchen. Hei Yuhua who can't cook and Yun Jie who used to eat take-outs with his brother was told to stay in the living room to watch TV and wait for dinner to be served. Ye Yuyan and Lou Wei were in the kitchen while Yun Jie who was with Hei Yuhua in the living room was changing the channels to those Korean dramas the original Yun Jie loves to watch.
Yun Jie spoke, "Brother, let watch this episode first okay? I missed it last week."
Hei Yuhua didn't respond and instead stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze. But an experienced world hopper who acted the roles or character that was provided to him by the Nether World, Yun Jie no... Yun Ming was able to act like he didn't notice Hei Yuhua's observing eyes beside him. Instead, it was Hei Yuhua who opened the conversation and asked him straightforwardly.
Hei Yuhua asked, "You and the one inside Lou Wei are amazing. How could you act very similar to how A'Jie originally acts as if he is you?"
Yun Ming who is wearing Yun Jie's vessel acted well as if he couldn't understand Hei Yuhua's question. With a bewildered expression on his face, Yun Ming stared at Hei Yuhua as if he was talking about things I couldn't understand.
"What are you talking about brother? If it is about that stupid officer, we just ca to the grocery together coincidentally. I was looking for you after getting a vacation from Director Wei. My task right now is to stay by your side most of the ti and protect you from getting your original identity from leaking and guarding you against harm." said Yun Ming.
But despite this kind of no loophole explanation, Hei Yuhua continues to remain unmoved. As if he is saying with his eyes that 'Continue acting, no matter what you are already caught by . I wouldn't believe anything else you said even if you try to convince .' Yes, those were the words Yun MIng could comprehend as he looked at Hei Yuhua's eyes. Yun Ming still didn't destroy his current persona, he is still acting the very sa way how the original Yun Jie would act in this situation.
Hei Yuhua said, "The real A'Jie never calls brother in public. He only calls that way when we are alone together. This is because everyone knows that I am younger than he is yet he wanted to beco my younger brother. But you called brother regardless of whether we are in the public or in front of the two who were the busiest in the kitchen. Plus, A'Jie would never look at in the eyes directly. This is one of his habits, and... He had no relationship with Officer Lou so there is no way he would allow himself to be hugged by a stranger."
"Maybe we knew each other without you knowing?" said Yun Ming.
Hei Yuhua replied, "Impossible. In these last few years, you have always been by my side working on missions within the country and outside the country. We are roommates that live in the headquarters and are both orphans. We only had each other as family."
Hei Yuhua still has his smile when telling about his relationship with the real Yun Jie to the man who wears his face in front of him and instantly faded when he stared directly in front of his eyes. He almost couldn't control his anger when he saw Yun Ming's unmoved and calm gaze. As if him knowing about the fact that he isn't the real Yun Jie doesn't matter to him, but the vessel he's using is his brother and best friend, he could make sure that the real Yun Jie is safe and he wouldn't stop this conversation from continuing.
Seeing that the atmosphere between Hei Yuhua and Yun Ming was becoming tense, System Yang had no other choice but to materialize in order to beco a middle man for the two.
System Yue spoke, [Okay. Stop glaring at each other. Yuhua, don't worry your brother, the real Yun Jie is okay.] He said while looking at Hei Yuhua then he hovered in front of Yun Ming who calmly let System Yang land on the top of his hands and allowed him to explain things to Hei Yuhua.
[Sir Yun Ming, you please calm down. There is no need to get angry at a child younger than you by a few hundreds of years.]
Yun Ming responded, "I'm not angry. I just didn't reply to his provocation, that's all. Please tell why this one is able to see you and seems to know about us?"
[This... He asked for his mories of his past life retained before he had turned back the ti. It was the Master who agreed to this condition.]
"How about that other one? The protagonist gong also retained his mories, if so why didn't he notice A'Wu's changes?" asked Yun Ming.
[Yue'er had no permission to allow him to OOC his role as the protagonist gong so his full mories cannot remain. It was temporarily sealed and would remain as such for a while. His mories would be unsealed as long as he completes a mission.]
Hei Yuhua who was listening to the side could sohow understand the situation that it was sothing connected to him and his future mate, Ye Yuyan. He was interested when he heard about the so-called mission.
"What is this mission you call? Is it dangerous?" asked Hei Yuhua with a frown.
[It's not dangerous. It's more of a daily life mission. Like eating breakfast together with you. Going to the grocery or to the park, things like that. Simple right?]
Hei Yuhua thought for a while and realized that Ye Yuyan seems to have the sa system as he does.
'Does that an he also has a god sleeping in him as I do? But why does it seem that he doesn't have mories of their past life as he does?' Was there a problem with him? Moreover, he was able to return to the past because he had died in the last world, did... Did Ye Yuyan also die in our past life?' Thought of Hei Yuhua upon realizing facts he never expected to happen in his life, if he didn't et this God who calls himself Lord Hei.
Hei Yuhua asked, "Does one need to die to return to the past?"
It was Yun Ming in Yun Jie's body who answered his question, "For mortals, yes. Since one vessel is not allowed to return to the past as it caused a redundant existence. But for Gods, they could do so anyti, especially for the Deities who could control ti."
"Gods who can control ti? Like the one Lord Hei did before?" asked Hei Yuhua.
System Yang had to explain so more things which Hei Yuhua wanted to know.
[Lord Hei couldn't revert the ti at will. His main elent is ice and space. Ti is incompatible with him. So instead, we used a scroll to revert the ti in this world. This scroll is like what you mortals call props or items in gas. But these are made by other gods who specialized in the ti elent. One of those Gods is the one sleeping inside your future mate's body. He is that sa esteed lord who is the husband of Lord Hei who was sleeping inside of himself.]
Hei Yuhua was stunned to hear that there are two Gods residing not only in himself but also inside his beloved. But thinking about how Ye Yuyan heard his pleas to stop that night and change what he rembers before, only now did Hei Yuhua understand why things change from how he rembers.
"D-Does this ans he rembered everything right now? But based on how he acts, that doesn't seem to be the case. He doesn't look like he is feeling guilty or regretful but instead infatuated towards ." comnted Hei Yuhua.
System Yang answered, [Well, that is because what he rembers is partial to the whole mories he had brought over. Unlike you who had received Lord Hei's blessing before you regressed, the God inside his body was asleep all this ti. The one who transferred him over to this tiline is my alter ego, another system like I do. He is called System Yue.]
Hei Yuhua is quite a smart person, as an agent one needs intelligence beyond norms, this would allow them to think of things that would save their lives in case sothing unexpected happens during the mission. So once he learns that Ye Yuyan would only rember his mories partially one at a ti, he now recognizes the reason for the daily mission that was ntioned just now.
"That mission, his rewards for it are only his mories?" asked Hei Yuhua.
Yun Ming spoke, "No. He had an option to unlock one of his mories or get points that can be exchanged at things in the System Mall. These things are tools or rare materials that can either be found here in your world or in so other worlds."
"I see... So parallel worlds do exist," murmured Hei Yuhua.
Yun Ming corrected, "Not Parallel World, but another different world from this. Those things in novels like the ancient world, SciFi world, and such do exist in the space beyond this world of yours. Like how Alpha, Beta, and Oga exist in this world but not in the other worlds."
[Anyway please forget about this fact and focus on your problem instead. Ye Yuyan is doing missions to get back his mories. I would like to ask you... Do you wish to do missions to get so points that could be exchanged for things that don't exist in your world? It seems a bit unfair if only Ye Yuyan had the advantage of the System Mall.]
Hei Yuhua asked, "May I know the real reason why you are offering missions to ? It is not only because it is unfair to my side right? Or is it because so tools that could be exchanged would be helpful for saving my life that you guys are willing to let do it?"
"Talking to smart people is really comfortable. That's right. We wanted to keep you safe so we are giving you these options. It is the sa feeling as to why your brother, Yun Jie allowed to borrow his body just so I can protect you." said Yun Ming.
Recalling his closest friend, Hei Yuhua finally rembers what he is about to ask. He wanted to know about Yun Jie's current state.
Hei Yuhua asked, "Is A'Jie still alive? Is he asleep like they do?"
"His soul is sleeping in this body. But he would be able to wake up unless I left his vessel or his body wouldn't be able to bear the abundant soul. I might not be as powerful as Lord Hei but my soul is still that of a God while this body is just that of a mortal." said Yun Ming. "By the way, Lou Wei's body is in the sa situation but you don't need to tell that mortal Ye Yuyan. As you had witnessed we could act exactly the sa as the original does. It's just that he was a bit too worried about just now. As even if we are indeed Gods our powers are affected by this body. The hierarchy between Alpha, Beta, and Oga cannot be suppressed by us as this body would move instinctively during those monts."
Sighing in relief, the weight in his heart faded. When he noticed that the one inside his brother's soul was replaced he was afraid that the original Yun Jie had died to be replaced but after learning about these existences was acquainted with Lord Hei who was sleeping inside him and he felt coolheaded.
Hei Yuhua said, "That's good. As long as A'Jie is okay. But I wanted to learn about Ye Yuyan's situation. Before and after he regressed with in this world."
System Yang replied, [About this, then you will need to wait after dinner or at least after Ye Yuyan is asleep. Only then I could ask System Yue to et you and ask him about what happened to him before we regressed. I was with you all the ti so I don't know much about what happened to your lover before the ti had reversed.]
"I see... I can wait. Please let et him tonight." said Hei Yuhua.
System Yang responded, [No problem. I will arrange a eting for you.]
