Chapter 1: An Extra Consciousness Appears in the Body
Chapter 1: An Extra Consciousness Appears in the Body
Lin Ran discovered something very horrifying.
My body was moving and talking unconsciously.
"Is this a game? It's so realistic. I haven't walked in a long time, let me stand up and try it."
My body woke up, curiously looking around, then jumped out of bed and hopped around the room, running to the bathroom to grab the magic pills in front of the mirror...
Lin Ran was just an ordinary male medical student. Apart from being reasonably good-looking and having awakened his past life memories on the day he received his university admission notice, he was nothing special.
I was a little stunned when I suddenly encountered this situation.
Can medicine explain this? Where is the science?
Sleepwalking? Sleep paralysis?
No, I didn't imagine any female ghosts in my head before I went to sleep.
Just when he was at his wit's end, he saw two lines of small print in the upper right corner of his vision.
[Jiang Qiaoqiao is in control of her body]
[Time remaining: 5 hours and 57 minutes]
It sounds like a girl's name. Is she the one controlling my body?
The time limit is six hours.
Before Lin Ran could think it through, he felt a slight pain there again.
He couldn't help but speak up:
"Stop pinching it, if you break it, it won't grow back."
Lin Ran's voice echoed in the restroom.
It turns out I can't control my body, but I can speak.
"Oh! Don't boys have a molting period?"
A surprised female voice suddenly appeared in my mind.
Immediately afterwards, the female voice said:
"Wait, isn't this a game? Why can you talk?"
Lin Ran laughed in exasperation: "You find me any game on the market that's this realistic! This is reality!"
"Then let me squeeze it again and feel it more carefully," the woman's voice said.
"..."
If there were outsiders present, they would definitely think Lin Ran, who was asking and answering his own questions, was mentally ill.
It seems I can only control what I say.
Lin Ran was completely confused and there were still many things she didn't understand, so she said:
"After you finish showering, hurry up and get dressed. Let's check our information and figure out what's going on."
He looked at himself in the mirror, his hands clenched into fists in front of his chest, his legs turned inward, and his back slightly bent, his handsome face displaying the wary expression of a young girl.
It looks awkward no matter how you look at it.
Jiang Qiaoqiao ignored Lin Ran's words, stood up straight, walked to the mirror at the washbasin, and remained silent without saying a word.
Lin Ran felt strange:
"Are you an exhibitionist? Hurry up and put some clothes on."
"...Now I'm in control of your body, what right do you have to order me around?"
It seems that Jiang Qiaoqiao is not an obedient and well-behaved girl.
Lin Ran pondered for a moment and said:
"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you don't want to lose your control over my body, do you?"
"What do you mean? And how do you know my name?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice was calm, revealing no emotion.
Lin Ran continued:
"Is there an area in your field of vision that displays my name and the time control settings?"
"Yes," Jiang Qiaoqiao said.
"I also have an area in front of me that displays your name and control time, but I have an extra display box that says, 'Exit control mode and block Jiang Qiaoqiao.'"
"You think you can fool me?" Jiang Qiaoqiao sneered. "If you could kick me out, why have you kept me here until now?"
"Of course it's profitable," Lin Ran said. "Controlling my body for six hours brings me tangible benefits. You may not believe me, but I don't need another person to control me."
"..."
"I'll give you five seconds. If you don't put your clothes on within five seconds, I'll consider kicking you out and replacing you with another girl—you're not irreplaceable."
Lin Ran began the countdown.
When she counted to "two", Jiang Qiaoqiao picked up the clothes hanging on the wall and put them on one by one.
She didn't say a word during that time.
Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's right, the two of us can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation."
Just now, Jiang Qiaoqiao controlled her body to get out of bed, jump and jog, and said, "This game is so realistic. I haven't walked in a long time, let me stand up and try it." This means that she was not aware of the current situation and may have difficulty moving.
At that time, she did not know that she could see her behavior as her most authentic expression.
Therefore, Lin Ran presented two options.
First, get Jiang Qiaoqiao to listen to you and communicate by getting dressed.
Second, he disobeyed and made Jiang Qiaoqiao leave his body on his own.
If Jiang Qiaoqiao had just considered the risks of both options, she would have known which one was more worthwhile.
However, even if my speculation is wrong, and Jiang Qiaoqiao's original health was fine, she would probably still choose "two".
This step was necessary. He didn't know what kind of person Jiang Qiaoqiao was, and he couldn't let her control his body at will. If she did something like murder or arson, it would be troublesome. Therefore, a restraint had to be established between the two of them.
【Ding! 】
You have gained initial control.
[The owner of the Life Experience System has been officially confirmed: Lin Ran]
This will unlock your personal panel, synergy level, and reward sharing.
Lin Ran observed Jiang Qiaoqiao through the mirror and saw that she was still getting dressed and showed no other reaction.
The system message says it should only be displayed to the user.
"System, if I don't make Jiang Qiaoqiao obey me, will I still be your master?"
Answer: No
[According to Article 1 of the hidden rules: If the controlled person is unable to gain control within six hours, the system will officially bind to the controller and enable all functions for the controller.]
According to Article 28 of the regulations: Once the controlled person is officially bound to the system, they will gain the right to revoke the controller's control.
Lin Ran noticed an additional option below the control time: "Cancel control permissions for Jiang Qiaoqiao and add her to the blacklist."
Alright, Lin Ran was just bluffing, but now he really can kick Jiang Qiaoqiao out of his body.
Open your personal panel.
Name: Lin Ran
[Occupation: First-year student majoring in Clinical Medicine]
【Intelligence: 89】
[Stamina: 70]
【Charm: 91】
[Compatibility with Jiang Qiaoqiao: 9]
[Tip: For every 10 points increase in Synergy, you can freely extract one of the controller's talents or skills.]
[Of course, the body controller: Jiang Qiaoqiao]
Lin Ran noticed a magnifying glass symbol under the name "Jiang Qiaoqiao".
The next second, a 3D model of a woman's body suddenly appeared, with Jiang Qiaoqiao's name and body data written next to it.
It must be said that Jiang Qiaoqiao is indeed a beautiful young woman.
She has waist-length hair, a small face, and a pair of bright eyes that seem to speak volumes.
Her body proportions are excellent, with ideal bust, waist, hips and legs. Her C+ cup size looks voluptuous, and her slender waist and long legs are also very attractive.
Lin Ran, with an attitude of appreciating art, glanced at it and then closed it.
Looking at 3D human figures without clothes too much can make you dream about fighting at night.
Lin Ran's attention returned to reality, and he noticed that Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was halfway through getting dressed, was starting to take her clothes off again.
Controlling Lin Ran's naked body, he walked to the bedroom, picked up his phone, turned on the camera, switched to recording mode, and then... completely naked, he danced ballet with a blank expression.
A cool, clear female voice echoed in my mind:
"I will record a ten-minute video and upload it to my cloud drive. If you unilaterally revoke my control, the video will be sent to your family, friends, and major online media outlets within a day—my family owns a company specializing in news, publishing, and media, so I have the capability to do this."
"Are you telling the truth?" Lin Ran asked.
"Of course. I don't lie easily. Lin Ran, you have a great body, you have abs and a nice butt, I like it a lot, I might even sneak a peek tonight."
Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice held a hint of amusement, indicating that she believed she had successfully suppressed Lin Ran.
The next second, Lin Ran suddenly said:
"That's great! Send it quickly!"
"???"
Jiang Qiaoqiao was a little confused. What did he just say? He wanted me to post the video sooner? Wasn't he afraid of getting into trouble?
Lin Ran said with great interest:
"It seems pretty good to let others admire my heroic bearing. And to be honest, you dance ballet quite well; I certainly couldn't dance as well as you. Why don't you dance some other dances for me to admire?"
LOL, I'm not scared at all.
After listening to Lin Ran's words, Jiang Qiaoqiao remained silent for a long time before finally saying:
"...Your shamelessness has lowered my understanding of the limits of human decency."
【Ding! 】
[Your compatibility with Jiang Qiaoqiao +5]
Current level of teamwork: 15
You have been granted one withdrawal attempt.
Lin Ran never expected that their teamwork could be improved in this way.
In return, Lin Ran pulled up a 3D image of Jiang Qiaoqiao's body, admiring it while clicking his tongue in satisfaction:
"However, I didn't expect that someone with such a beautiful face and a seductive figure would actually come up with the idea of filming a nude video. You're really ruthless. If it were someone else, they might have fallen for your tricks."
"What do you mean? You can see my face? You know where I am right now?" Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice was somewhat distorted, as if she was desperately suppressing something.
"Be bolder, you'll see even more," Lin Ran said casually. "Anyway, I don't care about the video, but do you care about me seeing you naked?"
"..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao remained silent and began to get dressed, without speaking to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran sensed that she was throwing a tantrum, but he didn't intend to pay attention to her.
This little devil used to threaten me by filming videos; who knows what clever tricks she's up to get back at me now.
It's not a good thing.
"We have class today, at 8 a.m., don't be late," Lin Ran said.
ding dong~
A message suddenly popped up on my phone, which was on the bedside table.
Lin Ran's eyelids twitched; she had a bad feeling.
It was a message from a husky with its profile picture sticking out its tongue, labeled "Little Cicada".
"Little Cicada: Linran, Linran, have you had breakfast yet? The school cafeteria has banana and pineapple flavored meat buns today, do you want me to bring you some?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao's subtle voice echoed in Lin Ran's heart:
"Who is this?"
"..."
"girl?"
"It's not a man," Lin Ran admitted, now feeling a little panicked.
Jiang Qiaoqiao is typing on her phone.
Lin Ran: Aren't you going to lose weight anymore?
"Little Cicada: Hehe, today is an exception, I'll diet tomorrow."
"Little Cicada: This is the first time you've ever cared whether I'm trying to lose weight."
"Little Cicada: I can't resist anymore, the steamed buns look so delicious, my mouth is watering!!!"
Lin Ran: Bring me one.
Jiang Qiaoqiao turned off her phone, stood up, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and went out.
"Lin Ran, do you like this girl?"
"dislike."
"There are still five hours left, and I think we should be honest with each other," Jiang Qiaoqiao said.
"...Don't mess around." Lin Ran heard the threat in the little devil's words.
Jiang Qiaoqiao noticed the change in his tone, manipulated Lin Ran's body, put her index finger to her lips, and a smile appeared on her gloomy face:
"Don't worry~ I definitely won't do anything reckless~"
