I did not experience a mysterious revival!

Chapter 5: Dreams and Reality Intertwined

Lin Yuan in the mirror had no scars on his face.

But the excruciating pain from the facial cuts was still stimulating Lin Yuan's nerves. His previous self-harming actions were not an illusion, but an undeniable reality.

I just don't know why those scars disappeared.

Lin Yuan's left side of his face was covered with a thick layer of makeup, the same makeup that had covered almost his entire face before he fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and touched his face.

It was cold and chilling.

Suddenly, he laughed, but the laugh was incredibly strange.

The smile on the normal face on the right is bitter and indescribable, while the smile on the actress's face on the left is incredibly... charming, as if she were performing on a stage.

In his mind, the vague and simple opera also had a faint female opera voice.

What are they singing?

Lin Yuan couldn't hear clearly, but he understood one fact: "My body no longer completely belongs to me. According to the worldview of the Mystic Revival, I should now be considered a Ghost Tamer, a Ghost Tamer who exists because of the curse. And the source..."

This is a children's clothing store, and in addition to children's clothes, it also sells masks in various styles.

Lin Yuan casually grabbed the nearest Monkey King mask lying at his feet, covered his normal half of his face, and then looked at himself in the mirror again.

At this moment, only half of the actor's face was visible in the mirror.

This should have been Lin Yuan's own face, but when he looked in the mirror, he found that the face had become incredibly unfamiliar.

Both the muscle lines and the bone structure are softer, making the face look more like a woman's than a grown man's.

Especially the curve of her lips and her left eye, which wasn't covered by makeup, gave off a surprisingly charming and alluring feeling.

"This is not my face."

Lin Yuan murmured to himself, then suddenly looked into the eyes of "himself" in the mirror as if he were looking at a stranger, a stranger... an actor.

Just as Lin Yuan was feeling lost, the "Lin Yuan" in the mirror suddenly moved.

To be precise, it was the left half of "Lin Yuan's" body in the mirror that moved. That hand slowly rose up and made a delicate pinky gesture, while Lin Yuan outside the mirror also uncontrollably raised his left hand and made a delicate pinky gesture as well.

Fear surged into my heart instantly.

"You still want to control me?"

Lin Yuan could still control the right side of his body. He threw off the Great Sage mask, revealing an angry right face that contrasted sharply with his charming left face.

These two faces shouldn't appear on the same person!

With his left side still restrained, Lin Yuan was unable to move at all. There wasn't even a clothesline nearby; there was only a small stool at his feet, but in his current state, he couldn't bend down at all.

Can't drag it any longer!

Clenching his right fist, Lin Yuan used all his strength to slam his fist into the dressing mirror.

Compared to the glass wall outside the shop, the quality of the fitting room mirror was obviously much worse. Under Lin Yuan's reckless smashing, the fitting room mirror developed clear cracks in just two or three hits.

Just one or two more blows and this dressing mirror will shatter completely.

However, just as Lin Yuan threw the attack again, the left hand of "Lin Yuan" in the mirror, which was making a delicate pinky gesture, suddenly stretched out. Yes, it stretched out.

The hand that should have been reflected in the mirror suddenly emerged from the mirror and grabbed Lin Yuan's right fist.

Suddenly, a terrifying force came, and before Lin Yuan could react, he was pulled into the mirror by this hand.

……

"ah!!!"

In the clean, disinfectant-smelling ward, Lin Yuan suddenly sat up in bed, his face pale, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and his eyes filled with fear and unease.

His actions startled the girl who was guarding the hospital bedside.

The girl was very young, only in her early twenties. Her face still clearly showed the naivety of a college student, untouched by the harsh realities of society, making her appear clean and pure.

She had only peeled half of the apple in her hand when Lin Yuan startled her, causing the apple to fall to the ground and her finger to be cut deeply by the knife.

Blood gushed out, staining most of his finger red.

But she didn't care about any of that. She hurriedly got up and helped Lin Yuan up, her voice trembling with tears, "Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"

The familiar voice quickly calmed Lin Yuan down.

"Little sister? What brings you here? Didn't you go to class?"

This girl is Lin Yuan's younger sister, Lin Yue. She is a junior at a university in the same city as him and will be doing an internship in a year before officially entering the workforce.

Lin Yue is six or seven years younger than him. When they were young, their parents were busy with work, so he often took care of his younger sister, and they were very close.

Lin Yue, supporting Lin Yuan's shoulder, said aggrievedly, "Brother, it was your company's HR who notified me that you fainted and asked me to come and take care of you. Besides, this isn't the first time you've fainted; the doctor even said you have narcolepsy, which you never told me about before..."

The brother and sister have a very close relationship, and their concern for each other is genuine.

Lin Yuan quickly comforted him.

Fortunately, he knew his younger sister well, and since he seemed to be alright, he managed to calm Lin Yue down and prevent her from crying out of genuine worry.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Yue lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Lin Yuan then realized that he had slept for a day and a night, and that Lin Yue had come to take care of him yesterday afternoon and hadn't rested much last night.

The original company was quite honest.

Although he was fired, this time when he fell ill, not only was someone arranged to take him to the hospital, but workers' compensation was also processed, so at least during his hospitalization, there was no need to worry about money.

Even the hospital room he stayed in was a single room.

But is it really healed?

Lin Yuan was very puzzled.

In the past, when he had an episode of narcolepsy, he would only wake up and return to reality after he died. But this time, he clearly didn't die... Or was he pulled into that glass and actually already dead?

Lin Yuan still felt lingering fear when he thought about the scene in his dream.

"Even my dreams have a mysterious resurrection theme; I've been reading too many novels lately..."

After sleeping for a day and a night, Lin Yuan was not only hungry, but also needed to use the restroom.

Upon entering the restroom, Lin Yuan recalled the scene from his dream and subconsciously glanced at the mirror on the sink. However, that one glance left him completely stunned.

The left side of his face in the mirror was exactly the same as in his dream—the makeup of an actor!

At the same time, he vaguely heard the ethereal and somewhat eerie opera sounds in his mind.

At this moment, the dream seemed to begin to merge with reality!

"Am I... really awake?"
