Chapter 09: The Mirror Man

Not counting the three days of coma, Liu Geng has been in Liu Yi's world for almost a week. For almost a week, he didn't leave the apartment except for going downstairs every other day to buy something at the supermarket. During this period, Counselor Li of the embassy came once to inquire about his condition, and was relieved to see that he had 'improved' a lot. As for the matter of academic exchanges, it is not mentioned, for a 'national treasure' scientist like Liu Yi, his health is the first, and this so-called academic exchange is originally between countries, giving each other a face, just going through the motions, everyone is a superficial friend, how can it be so real to communicate with you?

Although Liu Geng has been an otaku these days, he has not been idle. Now that he has arrived in Liu Yi's world, he has made it clear that he can't go back for the time being. Liu Geng also gradually accepted Liu Yi's identity, after all, life has to be passed, and he can't die, who knows if he will return to the original world or really die after he dies, this thing is not an online game, he is not so bold to try it.

Liu Geng used the past few days to adjust himself and buried everything in 'Liu Geng's world' in his heart. He doesn't plan to mention these things to people, because in this world, no one can understand what he is talking about, and they will only treat him as mentally ill. At the same time, he was also trying to accept Liu Yi's message in the world, he read Liu Yi's diary, some of the fragments were exactly the same as what he wrote in "Please Answer 2014", but what he did not mention in the book, he also did not know, he read it from the beginning, and knew more about Liu Yi as a person. Liu Geng found that in fact, Liu Yi, or when he wrote "Please Answer 2014", the character of Liu Yi set up was completely his mirror image in reality. The advantages and strengths that Liu Geng does not possess are vividly reflected in Liu Yi. Everything Liu Yi wanted to do, but he couldn't do.

Now he has become Liu Yi, and he will meet by fate, but Liu Geng knows in his heart that he is not as good as Liu Yi. This is something that cannot be faked, he can write a novel, in a few words, to praise Liu Yi as a Nobel Prize winner, which does not take much effort, but when he really becomes Liu Yi, how can he know chemistry?

In the past few days, he has also talked to Liu Yi's parents on the phone. There is no obstacle in this regard, because when he wrote about Liu Yi's parents in the book, he used his parents as a template, but in some things, it was slightly exaggerated. The appearance of Liu Yi's parents in the video is the same as Liu Geng's own parents, and the call with the second elder also reduces his longing for his parents in the original world.

Everything in Liu Yi's suitcase, Liu Geng looked at it again. He found that almost everything in Liu Yi was unlocked by a set fingerprint. And the level of security protection is very high, for example, a document is actually packed in a box of unknown metal, and the box is a fingerprint lock on it. Liu Geng is now Liu Yi, and his fingerprints can naturally be unraveled. But if it is someone else, this box will definitely not be opened. Although Liu Geng didn't know what this box was, according to what he had seen so many movies and TV series, if this box was opened violently, the files inside should be automatically destroyed. He looked at the documents inside, but he couldn't understand anything, all of them were in English with chemical symbols, and he really couldn't understand it with half of the strength he gave to the teacher at English level 4. But it is estimated that it should be something like a paper, he decided to put it away, if one day he returns to his own world, Liu Yi returns to his body, it is not good to lose other people's things.

Liu Geng did this because he had a very reasonable conjecture. Since he can come to Liu Yi's world, the original Liu Yi should have gone to his world. He admits Liu Yi's excellence, Liu Yi came to his world and lived as Liu Geng, which should make 'Liu Geng' better. And when he was alive as Liu Yi, although he didn't have the ability to make 'Liu Yi' better, he was at least obliged to keep the situation from getting too bad. This is not an obligation, and if it has to be made clear, it can probably be regarded as a kind of righteousness. This feeling is quite subtle, and Liu Geng himself can't understand it.

As for the pickle girl plan...... Liu Geng's heart was entangled, because he didn't know what Liu Yi would do. He had already learned from Xia that Liu Yi's trip to South Korea was nominally for academic exchanges, but in essence it was for pickling girls. As a billionaire worth 20 billion yuan, as one of the few scientists in the academic world, Liu Yi certainly has the confidence to do so, and in reality, he will succeed 99 percent, aside from the factor that "Please Answer 2014" is written like this, the conditions are as good as Liu Yi, it is difficult for any woman to refuse. But if Liu Yi becomes Liu Geng, just a small person sent by the TV station to study in South Korea, whether he will forcibly pick up girls, it's impossible to say, after all, the conditions are too bad.

Liu Geng is a person who adheres to the fairness of his heart, and his principle is that if you don't soak my chick in my world, I won't soak your chick in your world. If you soak my chick, you don't care if I can soak in my world, I will definitely soak your chick in your world. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it's actually quite fair. The problem now is that he doesn't know if Liu Yi has soaked his chick in his world, so he will be entangled. There's no phone call or anything between the two worlds, so it would be nice if we could communicate with each other.

After struggling for a few days, Liu Geng still decided not to be the one who shot first. He was willing to wait, since he could come to this world, there must be a connection between the two worlds. He wanted to find that key and return to his own world. Although this world is good, he can be described as a big winner in life when he becomes Liu Yi, but he always feels illusory and does not belong to him. Liu Geng is a person with a slightly negative heart, if everything is a dream bubble, he doesn't want to be the kind of person who will die if he is addicted. If you can get back on track, you'll get back on track. All he can do is to keep that righteousness first, and don't make Liu Yi's life too bad.

But it's not realistic to be an otaku all the time. Liu Yi's identity and status in this world will never allow him to be an otaku. I haven't been out for the past few days, and the phone calls have been coming constantly. Summer often calls to ask about some company decisions, how can Liu Geng have this kind of experience, every time he pushes it to Xia, let her make her own decisions, and provokes Summer to frequently complain that he is the shopkeeper. Liu Geng thought to himself, I'm a fake, can I do it without shaking my hands? It's tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and I've never seen a million in my life, in case I mess up with a word...... In fact, if he messes up, no one will say anything about him, in the eyes of outsiders, this is his own business, but Liu Geng himself feels that he is not Liu Yi, he doesn't want to hurt people, and he doesn't want to make decisions for Liu Yi.

The embassy will also be unable to resist it, and this time I went to South Korea for academic exchanges, and the name is the exchange between countries. Even if Liu Geng wants to be negative, the attitude of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is not positive, but it still has to be passable on face. Even if there was such a big accident, but it had been recuperating for a week, it would be a bit too much to say if it dragged on. In the morning, Counselor Li called again, asking Liu Geng to give face, and he must attend the exchange meeting of Dongguo University tomorrow. The attitude of the South Korean side is very low, and it has been said that they also understand that Professor Liu Yi has encountered such a big thing, and it will definitely be affected, and it is not appropriate to use too much brain, so this exchange meeting is only a friendship exchange, and does not involve academic issues, mainly to meet the outstanding talents of Dongguk University and the social celebrities who came out of Dongguk University, so as to reflect the welcome and enthusiasm of Dongguk University for Professor Liu Yi. When it came to this, Counselor Li was a little embarrassed, and at the same time, he also felt Liu Yi's influence. You must know that Koreans are notoriously hard-mouthed dead ducks, if it weren't for Liu Yi's admiration and admiration, how could they have such a low posture. In the past, when I was in academic exchanges, Counselor Lee didn't see it, obviously not as good as you, but also bragged, in their own academic journals, it was always Korean scientists who made great achievements and ranked first in the universe. This time Liu Yi came, okay, there were seals on his mouth, and there was no one who dared to blow it.

Liu Geng has already pushed once, but he really can't open his mouth to push the second time. Besides, he also understands that what can he do if he pushes it again, and he can't keep pushing it back, anyway, this time he also said that it is not an exchange of academics, and he pondered that he should be able to deal with the past, so he agreed. After hanging up the phone, he opened the calendar in his phone and found that today was Christmas Eve and tomorrow was Christmas.

"I'm really in a hurry. Liu Geng smiled, put the phone back in his pocket, took some change from his wallet, and prepared to go out to eat, and then find a place to get a haircut. The apartment arranged by the embassy is not considered a top rich area in Cheongdam-dong, but it is also middle and upper-class, and the nearby facilities are very complete, and there is a haircut nearby.

As soon as I opened the door and came out, I met the takeaway guy. When the takeaway brother saw him go out, he hurriedly greeted him. Liu Geng hasn't gone out much these days, he ordered his takeaway, the two have become acquainted, the takeaway brother is called Cui Junhao, he just graduated from high school and his academic performance is not good, he doesn't plan to take the university entrance examination, but is ready to join the army, his age is still one year younger than the permission to join the army, so he found a job delivering food in a restaurant, and he is a very good young man.

There are only two households on this floor, and Liu Geng didn't order takeout, so it is self-evident who ordered this takeaway. This reminded Liu Geng of the voice he heard that day, he was too curious about what kind of person lived in the door.

Liu Geng saw that the takeaway brother had finished greeting him and walked over to the opposite door, pursed his lips, and leaned over: "Junhao?"

"Brother, what's wrong?" the takeaway brother heard his voice, withdrew the arm that was about to ring the doorbell, and turned back in confusion.

"You've been delivering food for so long, and you really haven't seen anyone at the door once?"

Jun Hao smiled when he heard this, and said, "Brother, what am I lying to you doing, I really haven't seen it, and I put it at the door every time." ”

Liu Geng hooked Junhao's shoulder and said, "You're not curious at all?"

"Uh......" Junhao frowned, and said, "I'm not curious at all, it must be a lie, but people don't want to come out, there must be a reason why they don't want to come out, I'm just here to deliver takeaways, how can I make the guests unhappy?"

"Yes...... too" Liu Geng nodded, suddenly smiled, and whispered: "You can't do this thing, I don't care, she is my neighbor, not my guest...... Well, you give me her takeaway...... I said I just met you downstairs, and I also have takeaway, today Christmas Eve, there are many people ordering takeout, you are too busy, I happened to meet me, I will help get it, neighbor, this kind of thing is also normal. ”

Junhao hesitated: "Brother, this is not good, isn't this a lie, in case she has something unspeakable......"

"I'm just a little curious, what's so hard to say I'm afraid to see...... If she's really in trouble, we can help. "Liu Geng is not a big deal when he says this, he is now Liu Yi, if he is really difficult to the door, as his first neighbor in this world, it can be regarded as fate, he will help, it is not a big deal for Liu Yi, and it should be charity. Seeing that Junhao couldn't make up his mind, Liu Geng directly reached out and took it. Junhao sighed, so he had to say, "Then brother, you promise not to tell me, I will be deducted for a bad review." ”

"Don't worry. Liu Geng waved his hand, Junhao didn't want to be involved, so he quickly pressed the elevator and went downstairs.

Liu Geng came to the opposite door, looked up and saw a surveillance camera, found the blind spot of the camera, stood over, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell sideways.

A voice came from the intercom: "Is it a takeaway? Just leave it at the door, I have already paid the money online, and I will give you a good review." Sure enough, it was still those words, Liu Geng muttered in his heart, inexplicably looking forward to it, and at the same time he was also a little puzzled, because he felt a little familiar with this voice, which was a strange thing, and he had only heard this voice twice, how could he feel familiar?

"Hmm," Liu Geng held his breath and condensed, and agreed in Junhao's voice, and there was no one in the surveillance, and the people in the house thought that the person who delivered the food was gone, so they opened the door, but Liu Geng stood at the door.

The door opened, and it was a girl in pajamas and shark slippers, crouching in the doorway and reaching out to get takeout. But when she reached out and grabbed it where she was used to touching the takeaway, she pounced. She let out a puzzled 'huh', and suddenly her takeaway 'snapped' in front of her, and the soup of the jajangmyeon spilled out, startling her and slumping on the mat at the door.

The girl raised her head in horror and saw Liu Geng's sluggish face.
