Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 539 One wave subsides, another rises. (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Although the test between "Yifei" and "Yumo" ended up with everyone revealing each other's embarrassing stories and dark histories, the test can't be considered a complete failure.

When they exposed other people's embarrassing moments, they talked about many embarrassing things that only "Yifei" and "Yumo" and the person involved knew. If they hadn't been gossiping about other people's embarrassing moments in private, then the matter would not have been as simple as a cognitive misalignment.

After realizing this, Xiao Hei's precarious worldview finally shattered into pieces.

He scratched his head frantically, his right eyelid twitching uncontrollably, and then started pacing back and forth on his own.

Yifei and Yumo were completely baffled by Xiaohei's distraught state.

"Yu Mo" asked in confusion, "Why did Yi Fei and I switch places, but Xiao Hei is the one who went crazy instead?"

"How could I not go crazy!"

Xiao Hei shouted at the two of them, "Do you two even know what this kind of consciousness swap—which doesn't require brain transplantation, retains your memories, and is completely costless—truly means?"

Yifei and Yumo shook their heads blankly, having no idea what had happened to them.

Xiao Hei took a deep breath, looked around warily, and then covered his mouth and whispered, "This means that if this technology matures, I can swap the consciousness of a dying old man and a newborn baby, and... I'll never have to swap them back."

"hiss……"

Now everyone understood the meaning of the slang, and their scalps began to tingle.

This isn't a mind swap; this is clearly the immortality of the soul!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian in a suit couldn't help but pull out his phone and glance at it: "Are we even in the 21st century? How come they've come up with technology that allows immortality?"

Wan Yu also found everything before her eyes too outrageous. Her imagination ran wild, and she exclaimed, "This is ridiculous! Are we still in Nanfeng's dream?"

"That makes sense."

Meijia felt more and more that everyone was still dreaming. She patted Ziqiao next to her and said, "Ziqiao, you should go to the top floor and jump right now. If we don't find your body later, then we'll know we've been dreaming."

"Why should I?!"

Faced with Meijia's idiotic suggestion, Ziqiao rejected it without hesitation: "What if this is really reality, and I jump down and die?"

Zhang Wei patted Zi Qiao on the shoulder: "When you jump, try your best to protect your brain. We'll switch your consciousness with that of the braised pork knuckle."

"Go to hell!" Ziqiao delivered a flying kick to Zhang Wei. "You can be a dog if you want!"

Meijia glared at Zhang Wei with a hostile expression: "I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt soda! Is a braised pork knuckle's life not a life too important?!"

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Zhang Wei was so frightened that he immediately shrank behind Nan Feng.

Nanfeng shielded Zhang Wei and said to everyone, "Alright, don't listen to Xiao Hei's alarmist talk. What permanent consciousness swap? He's just exaggerating."

He curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Since the Dream Device was developed, I have personally experienced countless minor problems, and none of them have been repeated."

"The fact that Yifei and Yumo are like this is just a coincidence. We may never see another pair of people with swapped consciousness in this lifetime."

"This kind of random phenomenon, which appears and ends entirely by luck, is something that Xiao Hei could never figure out, even if he lived two lifetimes."

"cut."

After Nanfeng's prompting, everyone realized that they were frightened by Xiao Hei, and they immediately scoffed, expressing their dissatisfaction with Xiao Hei.

But there's nothing we can do about it. Xiao Hei's specialty is exaggerating the smallest things into something as if the sky were falling, and he can easily fabricate exaggerated claims about his research and experimental results.

After all, if someone like Xiao Hei, who is an inventor, doesn't exaggerate the wonders of his inventions and paint a grand picture, how can he possibly attract investment and sell patents?

Faced with the crowd's dissatisfaction, Xiao Hei merely scoffed, "Don't think this is a small matter. What if you can't get those two back? Let's see how you'll be happy then!"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and their faces finally turned as ugly as Xiao Hei's.

They never imagined that "Yifei" and "Yumo" might be irreplaceable.

While it's amusing to see these two switch bodies, if this situation were to continue indefinitely, probably none of them would be able to laugh out loud.

Yifei exclaimed, "What does it mean we can't switch back? Does it mean we'll have to live on each other's bodies from now on?"

"Yu Mo" asked timidly, "Xiao Hei, you're the all-powerful Xiao Hei, we're not really going to be unable to switch back, are we?"

Although they are best friends who have been together since childhood and are as close as one person, it doesn't mean they can accept living as each other for the rest of their lives.

This is so awkward.

"What do you mean by 'all-powerful Little Black'? I'm Little Black, not Doraemon. How could I possibly solve your problems every time?"

Xiao Hei sighed: "Nanfeng is right. There are just too many occasional minor problems with the Dream Machine. And I still can't believe what happened to you is real. I don't understand the principle of consciousness swapping, let alone have a solution."

"I just hope that your current situation is the same as Nanfeng's before, and that you'll get better on your own in two or three days. Anyway, you two have already swapped consciousnesses in an unscientific way, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to swap back in a few days in an unscientific way."

Nanfeng complained, "Why do I feel like Xiao Hei is setting a flag?"

Xiao Hei sighed again: "I think we should let them get checked out first, and then we can talk about it after the results are in."

Yifei and Yumo exchanged a glance and nodded with different expressions.

Nanfeng took out his phone, planning to order takeout with everyone while waiting for the test results.

You have to understand that they haven't eaten anything all day, and they're all starving.

Xiao Hei pointed to the closed door and said, "Let's go, Youyou. I told you you came first."

Youyou nodded. She wasn't going to hold a grudge against Xiaoha. Anyway, "Yifei" and "Yumo" wouldn't mind spending a little more time on the checkup.

After Youyou, Yifei, Yumo, and Xiaoxian in a suit finished their checkups, the rest of the people obediently lined up to wait for their checkups at Nanfeng's strong suggestion.

After all, the prototype of the Dream Device was originally Nanfeng's treatment chamber, and over the past few months, no one understands its side effects better than Nanfeng.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only four out of the twelve people who entered their dreams have encountered problems yet; there might still be some bizarre side effects lurking among the remaining people that haven't been triggered.

For example, Nanfeng's strange reflex mechanism, and how he couldn't control his mouth when he was complaining in his mind.

……

At first, everyone thought the check was unnecessary and that Nanfeng was just being overly cautious.

However, reality soon taught them the meaning of "better safe than sorry".

"Next, Lü Ziqiao."

Xiao Hei beckoned to Zi Qiao, signaling him to come over for a check-up. Then, Xiao Hei went into the room and started operating the equipment.

Ziqiao walked nonchalantly toward Xiao Hei, muttering to himself, "I think for someone as strong as me, this checkup is completely unnecessary... unnecessary... unnecessary... unnecessary... unnecessary..."

With his back to Ziqiao, Nanfeng originally wanted to say, "Lu Ziqiao, you're pulling back from the brink."

Two dull thuds sounded, and when he turned around, he found that Ziqiao had fallen to the ground, his whole body convulsing as if he had been electrocuted.

At the same time, a fellow patient who collapsed on the ground with the same symptoms was Meijia.

"W-wh-wh-wh-wh-what's going on?!"

At this moment, Mika, who was lying on the ground twitching slightly, felt as if weak electric currents were running wildly through her body, making her feel numb and tingly all over, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Mika stared wide-eyed in horror, stammering, "This...this...this is the legendary epilepsy?"

Zhanbo glanced at Meijia lying on the ground and then offered her straightforward comfort.

"Don't worry, Meijia. The symptoms of an epileptic seizure are completely different from what you're experiencing now. You and Ziqiao are most likely experiencing the same side effects as Youyou and the others, caused by excessive brain activity."

Upon hearing Zhanbo's words, everyone who had been tense immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'm relieved... what a load of rubbish!"

Meijia rolled her eyes back in shock and shouted, "Lu Ziqiao, I'll spray you to death with a mouthful of salt water!"

"It must be you who passed on all these... these... these... weird side effects to me!"

Nanfeng frowned in confusion: "Side effects... can they be contagious?"

It seems that in Meijia's eyes, any bad thing that is related to Ziqiao must be Ziqiao's fault.

"Chen Meijia, it's not certain yet whether one of us will infect the other."

Ziqiao had no time to pay attention to Meijia. He just casually replied to Meijia and then shakily used his hands to support himself on the ground, trying to stand up with his indestructible body.

He tried several times, but in the end it was all in vain.

"Alright, you two are both lying on the ground trembling like this, can't you each just say one less word?"

Nanfeng helped Ziqiao up and asked Curry Sauce to help Meijia up as well.

He planned to put the two people on the sofa first, and then call Xiao Hei over to check the situation.

As soon as Nanfeng and Curry Sauce helped them up and took a few steps toward the sofa, Ziqiao and Meijia, who had been trembling all over, suddenly returned to normal.

"what?"

No longer feeling numb and weak, the two tried to slowly push away Nanfeng and Curry Sauce's support. They swayed but quickly stood still.

Ziqiao and Meijia touched their muscles all over their bodies at the same time. After finding that there was still no problem, they tried to jump around again.

"Huh? We're done!"

Ziqiao and Meijia, who were standing close by, laughed heartily. But just as they opened their arms and turned to hug each other, their radiant smiles suddenly froze.

They all felt that, given their superior physical abilities, the other party must have passed on this inexplicable side effect to them.

So Ziqiao and Meijia snorted in silence, turned around without looking back, and wanted to get as far away from each other as possible.

As soon as they took a step to either side, Ziqiao and Meijia felt a tingling sensation all over their bodies again, as if they were being electrocuted.

Fortunately, Nanfeng and Curry Sauce were not far from them. The two quickly went over to help Ziqiao and Meijia up again, preventing them from falling to the ground again.

"W-wh-what's going on?!"

Ziqiao exclaimed in astonishment, "Why is this side effect acting up again out of the blue?!"

"Perhaps...it's not inexplicable."

Nanfeng frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he made Curry Sauce stand still with his arm around Meijia, while Nanfeng helped Ziqiao move two steps toward Meijia.

Ziqiao and Meijia, who had been trembling all over, returned to normal at lightning speed once again.

"I'm all better now..."

Before Ziqiao could finish speaking, Nanfeng immediately helped Ziqiao away from Meijia. As a result, the two of them trembled slightly again and leaned against Nanfeng and Curry Sauce, their bodies going limp.

"Hey, I'm moving forward!"

"Hey, I'm backing away!"

"Hey, I've moved forward again!"

"Oops, I backed away again!"

"Wow, this is actually quite fun!"

So, Nanfeng, his playful nature aroused, used Meijia as the starting point, and helped Ziqiao move closer and further away, away and closer again.

Meanwhile, Ziqiao and Meijia were also affected by Nanfeng's fluctuating condition, sometimes getting better and sometimes being electrocuted.

Now, everyone watching understood the mechanism behind the two people's strange side effects.

Guan Gu suddenly realized and clapped his hands, exclaiming, "I get it! Zi Qiao and Mei Jia can't be too far apart now, or they'll get electrocuted!"

"What?!"

The two people standing close by couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Ziqiao and Meijia suddenly looked at each other, both feeling as if an invisible chain was tightly binding them together.

The two of them immediately showed expressions of disgust.

Ziqiao immediately complained, "The Dream Device has such ridiculous side effects? This is outrageous!"

"Exactly!" Meijia rolled her eyes at Ziqiao and pouted, "Who would want to get this close to this jerk?"

While waiting for Xiao Hei's test results, Yi Fei and Yu Mo exchanged a glance, then asked in unison, "How about you switch with us?"

"Forehead……"

Ziqiao and Meijia looked up at each other, and at this moment they began to imagine what would happen after their souls were swapped.

"Alas……"

The two men looked disgusted and began to tremble.

[That pervert Lu Ziqiao will definitely take advantage of my body!]

[That shrew Chen Meijia will definitely chemically castrate me!]

"Actually, I don't think this side effect is too big for you."

Nanfeng teased with a smile, "Think about it, the side effects only started to kick in when Ziqiao was about to go for his checkup. Doesn't that mean you two unknowingly stood closest to each other all afternoon?"

Ziqiao and Meijia were taken aback by what they heard.

Here it comes!

Pigeon wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a blissful and joyful time with your family.

The weak and powerless pigeon will try to release a huge update for everyone during the next holiday, so that the brothers can have a good time.
