Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 777 A Gift from Another Me

The girl in the photo... has a wildly unruly curly wig, heavy smoky makeup that almost obscures her original features, jet-black eyeshadow, and exaggerated glitter.

She was wearing an extremely sexy, bright red, deep-V long dress that she would never normally wear.

The girl's face was filled with a wild and unrestrained laugh that felt completely foreign to her, her eyes were glazed and excited.

What sent chills down her spine and made her blood run cold was that the "she" in the photo was intimately hugging the neck of the strange man in front of her, pouting her bright red lipstick lips, and passionately kissing his cheek!
In the photo, Gao Dongxu is also smiling happily, with one arm around "her" waist and the other making a victory sign at the camera.

"boom--!"

Zheng Shanzhi felt dizzy and the world seemed to collapse, shatter, and reassemble before her eyes, transforming into a terrifying sight that she could not recognize at all.

Her entire body stiffened, as if frozen in place by an invisible ice barrier, her blood ceasing to flow. Her face displayed an expression of utter shock, bewilderment, and utter absurdity.

She even suspected that her eyes were blurry from crying and fear, causing her to have terrible hallucinations.

She instinctively reached out her trembling hand and rubbed her eyes hard until they were red and sore. Then, mustering all her courage, she widened her beautiful eyes to their limit and stared intently at the phone screen—

The photo remains unchanged.

The girl in the red dress, with smoky makeup and a wild and unrestrained demeanor, was still there, embracing a strange man and laughing wildly.

Every detail mercilessly mocked her current fear and disbelief.

Her fingers trembled as she quickly swiped across the phone screen, looking at the other photos.

The photos are becoming increasingly suggestive and embarrassing.

"This...this is...me?" She heard her own voice, dry, hoarse, and weak as a whisper, filled with immense doubt and despair on the verge of collapse.

She even looked up through her tear-filled eyes at the tall, handsome man in front of her, who was frowning and looking puzzled, and asked in a trembling voice as if grasping at the last straw, "When you saw me... I... I looked like this?"

Gao Dongxu looked at her with a strange "you know the answer already" gaze, remained silent, and then nodded very firmly.

Immediately afterwards, he threw off the covers and got up.

"Ah!" Zheng Shanzhi let out a short scream, abruptly closing her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled violently with extreme shame and fear, and her originally pale face instantly turned bright red, almost as if it were about to bleed.

"You...you...can you put on some clothes?!" She felt her nerves were stretched to their limit, any more stimulation and they would snap completely. Having never been in a relationship, or even formally held a man's hand, she had never experienced such a direct shock.

Gao Dongxu seemed to realize something only then. He looked down at himself, shrugged indifferently, picked up a soft silk robe from the bench at the foot of the bed, casually put it on, and tied the belt.

"Alright." His voice remained calm, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible amusement.

Only then did Zheng Shanzhi cautiously and suspiciously open one eye to peek over. Confirming that the other person was indeed fully dressed, she slowly lowered her hand, which had been blocking her eyes, with extreme shame.

Gao Dongxu didn't immediately sit back on the bed. Instead, he turned around, walked quickly to the dressing table on the other side of the room, picked up a handheld makeup mirror, walked back to the bedside, and handed it to Zheng Shanzhi, who was still curled up in the corner, wishing she could hide herself under the covers.

"Take a look for yourself." His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable, cruel truth.

With trembling hands, Zheng Shanzhi reached out and took the small mirror, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She took a deep breath, summoned the greatest courage of her life, and slowly turned the mirror towards herself—

In the mirror, a face instantly appeared, its makeup still smudged, looking disheveled, yet strangely familiar.

The exaggerated curly wig was still stubbornly on her head, only becoming more messy and comical after being tormented overnight.

The heavy smoky eye makeup on her face was ruined, the black eyeshadow and eyeliner smudged and blurred, as if caused by tears after crying. The bright red lipstick had also long since faded and peeled off, leaving only some traces around her lips, making her look both ridiculous and pathetic.

But this face is indeed Zheng Shanzhi's face.

There was a soft "clang" sound.

The small mirror slipped limply from her trembling fingers and fell onto the soft bed with a dull thud.

Zheng Shanzhi stared blankly at her reflection in the mirror, a reflection that was both strange and familiar. Her mind went completely blank, and she stopped thinking altogether.

She clearly... clearly remembered that she went to bed alone at home at nine o'clock last night.

Why... why did I wake up in a hotel room in a foreign country?

Why are there such large, terrifying gaps in my memory? Why is that unrestrained, passionate girl in the photo me?

Why is my body so sore and uncomfortable?
Why is there a completely unfamiliar, handsome man lying next to me who speaks English?
All of this, like countless frantic fragments, clashed and fragmented wildly in her mind, yet she couldn't piece together any reasonable explanation.

A tremendous sense of confusion, unprecedented fear, deep-seated shame, and a feeling of utter emptiness that had completely upended her life engulfed her like a monstrous wave.

She lost all her strength, and even the hand that was tightly gripping the blanket loosened slightly.

She huddled in the corner, staring blankly at a point in the air, tears streaming silently and surging down her face, as if she were crying out all her fear and despair.

The intense, sharp pain deep within her body reminded her, cruelly and repeatedly, that what had happened last night was not a dream, but a real, uncontrolled madness that she had no memory of.

Seeing the crying girl, Gao Dongxu didn't offer any words of comfort. Instead, he silently stayed by her side, somewhat at a loss, while his mind replayed the madness and unbridled nature of the devilish Yoon.

Well, only a demon would be so reckless and oblivious to pain as to act so wantonly.

I had been performing exorcisms continuously, using up all the holy water. You can imagine how many blows the demon had endured.

To be honest, it was quite unexpected that Zheng Shanzhi was still able to get up. However, considering that she had two souls in one body, her physique must have been affected by the demonization, making her far superior to ordinary people.

"Stop crying, drink some water, calm down. You really don't remember anything?"

Gao Dongxu took out a bottle of "Marriage Mineral Water," considerately unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Zheng Shanzhi, whose eyes were filled with tears, whose gaze was complicated, and who had a hint of shyness. He spoke softly.

Zheng Shanzhi looked at the handsome Gao Dongxu, her eyes brimming with tears. She bit her red lips, shook her head pitifully, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out her slender hand to take the mineral water.

There was nothing she could do; she was genuinely thirsty, and her throat felt like it was on fire.

Glug glug...

Seeing Zheng Shanzhi gulping down mineral water to hydrate, Gao Dongxu coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty.

Thinking of the demon Yoon's hysterical screams and severe dehydration caused by his constant exorcisms... and now facing the innocent and gentle Jung Seonji, who was caught in the crossfire and unaware of the damage but was also severely injured, he felt genuinely guilty.

Of course, I may feel guilty, but I have no regrets. Exorcism means going all out, holding nothing back, and using every means at your disposal.

When the bottle of water was almost empty, Zheng Shanzhi shyly reached out to grab the slightly fallen blanket, her pretty face flushed, and said thank you in a trembling voice, not daring to meet Gao Dongxu's gaze.

"If you really don't remember anything, then there's only one possibility..." Gao Dongxu frowned slightly, looking at Zheng Shanzhi's flushed, innocent face, and said, pretending to analyze.

"What?" Zheng Shanzhi stared at Gao Dongxu with her big, watery doe eyes, biting her red lips and asking in a trembling voice.

"You actually have a dual personality. You are currently in control of your dominant personality, but at night, after your dominant personality rests, your other personality will take over your body..."

Gao Dongxu analyzed very seriously, while Zheng Shanzhi stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth wide, revealing a shocked and incredulous expression.

"How is it possible..."

"Besides this possibility, I can't think of any other explanation. Perhaps you should ask your family; they should know your situation. After all, the you I saw last night didn't seem like it was your first time out..."

Gao Dongxu explained in a step-by-step and persuasive manner.

"Huh?!" Now, Zheng Shanzhi was even more astonished and confused, staring blankly at Gao Dongxu with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Gao Dongxu stood up, picked up her blood-red clothes from the ground, found her phone, handed it to her, and said softly, "You'll find out soon enough. Your family didn't tell you because they wanted to protect you and didn't want to cause you any trouble. I guess they must know about the other you. Although your personality is a bit extreme, it won't harm your body, which is why they kept it from you."

Won't it harm the body?

Holding her phone, Zheng Shanzhi glanced subconsciously at the glaring ink splatter on the messy bed, a sight that made her blush and unsure how to face it.

Gao Dongxu followed her gaze, then twitched his lips and looked at Zheng Shanzhi, who was blushing, looking away with shyness, and said frankly and shamelessly, "This doesn't count as harm. After all, the other you also has the right to fall in love."

"..." Zheng Shanzhi was stunned by Gao Dongxu's shameless frankness. Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her lips trembled as she didn't know what to say.

Just then, the phone rang. Zheng Shanzhi looked panicked when she saw the message. She glanced at Gao Dongxu first, then, remembering that the other party spoke English, she took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Shanzhi, are you alright? Where are you now?"
