Chapter 3 Mirrors

The person who came was named Bereka, who was a girl with brown braids and small freckles on her face. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The moment Xing Ye opened the door and saw Bereka, this introduction appeared in his mind. He glanced at the black and white bracelet with his eyes and found that the bracelet turned transparent. I think NPC should be invisible.

There is a line of words on the bracelet that only Xing Ye can see: The story background has been automatically updated.

Fortunately, it was not so pitiable that he didn't even tell him the name of the person. It should be that when someone Claire should know appeared in front of him, the system would give the most basic introduction.

It's really just the most basic name.

Xing Ye looked down at Bereka, who was much shorter than him. Seeing that she was holding a large wooden basin filled with clothes, she seemed to have difficulty with her short stature. Xing Ye naturally took the wooden basin and grabbed it with one hand easily.

A hint of rosy appeared on Bereka's freckles. She hugged Xing Ye's free arm, rubbed her face against his arm, and said softly: "Claire, you are the best!"

Xing Ye had only contact with women at the work level, and such intimate behavior made him feel a little uncomfortable. He still had to bear it because of his personality problem and did not push Bereka away.

However, this kind of intimate behavior is also beneficial. Xing Ye, who doesn't recognize the way, just follow Bereka and walks easily to the river.

The climate of this world seems to be early spring, and the river water is cold. Bereka soaks his hands in water. After a while, his hands are cold red. While washing, he covers his stomach in pain.

Xing Ye: “…”

Their company focuses on facing a group of women. Even if he has never had close contact with women, he also learned from market research that Bereka encountered a special situation and was a girl who had not grown up. It is not good for her to come into contact with the cold river during a special period to develop well in the future.

"Stop washing." Xing Ye said, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become clear and cheerful, and it was a female voice.

"No," Bereka said with a pale face, shook her head, "I'm about to finish eating the black bread at home. I have to wash these clothes as soon as possible before I can get the money to buy food."

It turned out to be a poor girl who made a living by washing clothes in the Middle Ages. Although she was not a serf, she lived a very hard life.

"I'll wash, you'll rest here." Xing Ye picked up Bereka with one hand, pulled her to the sunlight, took the wooden basin, and washed her hard.

Xing Ye's family is from a wealthy family, but his parents pay great attention to cultivating his self-care ability. He sent him to a private boarding school in high school to experience full militarization management. Washing and cleaning the housework is a trivial matter for him.

Bereka looked at Xing Ye with gratitude: "Thank you, Claire, I will help you when you are uncomfortable!"

You probably don’t have this opportunity... Xing Ye thought to himself while rubbing his clothes.

Bereka found some hay mats under her, leaned against the trees by the river, and fell asleep quickly under the warm sunlight.

When Xing Ye wrung all his clothes and threw them into the wooden basin, another update prompt of the story background popped up on the transparent bracelet: "Claire, a kind-hearted Claire just finished washing his clothes when he saw a light flashing not far from the river. She walked over and saw that it turned out to be a silver mirror.

Claire had always wanted to have a legendary mirror. She walked over and picked up the handle of the mirror and saw her face."

Xing Ye followed the prompt and saw a silver mirror about the size of a woman's palm, which was hanging upside down in the mud by the river.

The background prompt sound in my mind continued: "Claire looked back carefully at Bereka. Seeing that she was dozing off, she put the mirror into her arms and pressed her chest tightly, and her heart was pounding like a deer."

Xing Ye turned around as he said his voice, and Bereka was already asleep. He lowered his eyes and looked down at the dirty mirror in the mud, raised his legs slightly, kicked the mirror back into the river with his toes, and the mirror quietly sank into the bottom of the river.

The background sound, which was like a narrator, suddenly sounded like a bad signal, and the transparent bracelet flashed with a prompt of "Error to be corrected".

Xing Ye's mouth raised slightly, revealing his first shallow smile after entering the black and white world.

His experiment was successful.

Kicking the mirror of the important story prop back into the river is to verify three things:

First, what is the so-called confrontation with fate? Is it necessary to fight to the extent that the so-called confrontation with fate? Is it a small struggle in the existing story background and game framework, to plan a medieval peasant uprising as a civilian girl, to awaken feminist consciousness or to change the identity without violating the current social background, or to simply break the dimensional wall, ignore the content prompts, and ignore all rules without exposing your identity.

His actions of ignoring the prompts caused the system to be disordered, but he did not receive any punishment, which means that the system is very tolerant of behaviors such as "rejection" and "resistance".

Sacrifice of lucky values ​​is freedom without being bound by rules.

Second, in traditional RPG games, his behavior of obviously ignoring important props will likely lead to an unfinished ending, such as "Claire, because he was afraid of the law, did not pick up the mirror, like other civilian girls, married a husband who loved to beat people, worked all day long, spent his life of poverty and tortured by illness."

No matter what ending the other three teams set, the premise is that the story must be unfolded, and Xing Ye has not even entered the plot line, so how can he talk about the ending? If the system determines that the ending is true, then he can win directly.

Third, when the second point fails to be established and the plot continues, Xing Ye wants to see how the system needs to correct the storyline so that Claire can get a mirror.

After waiting for a while, I couldn't wait for the ending prompt, and the mirror would not float up from the bottom of the river in violation of the laws of physics. Xing Ye picked up the wooden basin filled with clean clothes and woke Bereka up.

"We're done with washing, let's go." Xing Ye said.

"Huh? So fast?" Bereka looked at the clothes in Xing Ye's wooden basin, "I usually have to wash them for a long time."

"I'm very strong."

Bereka flipped through her clothes and washed each one very clean. She happily went home to dry the clothes. After receiving the money in the evening, she bought six black bread and stuffed them to Xing Ye for five, leaving only one herself.

Xing Ye knew that Bereka had a mother and younger brother at home, and a black bread was not enough to eat.

He only took one and returned the remaining four to Bereka. The girl with freckled pigtails quickly shook her head: "No, no, you wash your clothes today. I have been resting. Just share one for my mother and brother to eat, and I won't need it."

"I don't like to eat it." Xing Ye forced the black bread back, ignored Bereka, walked back to the wooden house coldly, and closed the door tightly.

Bereka wiped her tears, held the black bread and shouted outside the door, "I will definitely give it back to you."

After saying that, he ran home, leaving Xing Ye alone to bite the black bread while pondering at Yuese.

Xing Ye is not a person who pays much attention to food. His busy work often makes him forget to eat. Food is just a tool to fill his stomach. But now he finds that he is wrong. The black bread is really too unpalatable!

With cold water, Xing Ye sat on the hay bed, flipping through the message in the bracelet.

I haven't seen the main plot update all day, and when it's late at night, there should be a change.

Sure enough, when the full moon climbed onto the branches, there was a knock on the door outside the door.

The poor villages with sparsely populated areas, simple wooden houses, girls living alone, and knocking on the door late at night. These conditions are enough to make people frightened. However, Xing Ye was prepared for it. He looked out quietly through the gaps in the wooden wall that were very leaking.

Through the moonlight, he saw a silver mirror full of mud, with the handle supported on the ground, and knocked on the door one by one with the silver frame on the edge of the mirror.

Xing Ye: “…”

I feel desolate for this mirror inexplicably.

"dong", "dong", "dong", knocking on the door is heavier and heavier, and the mirror seems to have exhausted its power.

At the same time, the story background is updated again, and Xing Ye heard the narrator saying: "Claire feared the Queen's punishment and did not pick up the mirror, but timidly threw it back into the river.

Unexpectedly, this is a spiritual mirror. Through brief contact, it determined that Claire was a kind-hearted and helpful girl, and it was willing to be Claire's mirror. So when the night fell, it came to Claire's door with the help of the moon, and knocked on her door with all its strength."

Seeing that the plot could not continue without a mirror, Xing Ye opened the door and bent down to pick up the mirror.

Narrator: "Claire opened the door, picked up the mirror happily, and saw his own face."

Do you have to look at your face?

Xing Ye saw his appearance in this world in the mirror under the moonlight.

Well... a black face that had not been washed for a long time, and a unkempt face made Xing Ye, who had always been clean and tidy, shocked.

There was some water in the bucket, so he immediately carried the bucket to the yard to wash his face and comb his hair. I don’t know how Bereka looked at this face during the day and mustered up the courage to hug his arms.

Narrator: "Claire is an orphan. She doesn't have the same family as others can help each other wash their faces. She always thinks she is a beautiful girl and never knows that she is actually a sloppy and dirty person in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, the mirror saw Claire's pure heart and came to her side with the risk of being broken to help her see herself clearly.”

After taking care of himself again, Xing Ye picked up the mirror again and saw that the girl in the mirror had a similar but softer face to him. If he had a sister, that would probably be like this.

Xing Ye has no handsome or general understanding of his appearance, but he knows that his younger brother Xing Shuo is handsome and he is the focus of the crowd wherever he goes. Then this girl who is similar to his younger brother in the mirror should be beautiful too.

Just as I was thinking this, a huge word "ugly" suddenly appeared on the mirror, which was still in Chinese.

Xing Ye: “…”

Does this mirror really see "Claire" and "pure heart" and "willful" become his mirror?
Chapter completed!
