Xiao thought as his mind was filled with infinite possibilities. Some were weird and bizarre, while others were good and hopeful, and some were just bad and stupid.
'No need to think too much. Let's see what I can do and observe the situation first.'
He shook his head, as overthinking was not good for him, nor could it provide him with a satisfactory answer. So Xiao felt that he should just go with the flow.
As he was thinking about other things, suddenly a thought entered his mind.
'Wait, am I inside some novel story, or is this a different cultivation world altogether?'
Those thoughts gripped his mind as Xiao was filled with all sorts of theories and hypotheses.
'No, this won't do. Information. Ah, yes, I need more information. Without more information, I can't confirm anything.'
He thought. as Information was the key to his situation.
But then another thought entered his mind.
'Wait, whose body am I currently occupying right now? Is this my original body, or the body of some random person whose soul I replaced and occupied this body? But damn, if it's the latter, then this person's background is really rich and extraordinary. Maybe some random young master.'
He removed the mattress that covered his body as he sat up on the bed. Looking at his hands and the clothes he was wearing or rather, the clothes this person's body had been wearing before his death.
Xiao thought.
'Strange. This body looks like mine, but at the same time different, as though it was weaker, paler, and more handsome than mine.'
This fact both surprised and puzzled him at the same time, as it was not something he was familiar with.
According to the plots of the cultivation novels he had read, either he was supposed to be using another person's body, or he should have transmigrated with his own body. Or, in normal cases, he should have been reborn as a baby.
But his current situation looked like none of those things.
'Very weird. Also, if I am currently occupying another person's body, then... wait. Ahh, how can I be so stupid? If this is my body, then how can I be sleeping peacefully inside the house of a completely unknown person? Has the world become so kind that, without any kinship or friendship, anyone would let a stranger sleep in their house?'
'This is definitely the body of another person. Ah, poor soul. It's sad that he's dead. Don't worry, buddy, I won't abuse your body. And if you have any dreams or desires left, I will fulfill them for you. Uh, think of it as the price of using your body. yes, think of it like that. Thank the gods this person is not a woman, otherwise I really don't know what to do with my life then.'
Xiao shuddered just thinking about it. If that were to happen, then he would really have experience a generational trauma.
Then he suddenly paused.
'Wait, if this is another person's body, then where are his memories? If I can obtain his memories, then I will be able to know a great deal of information about this world from him, as well as what his background is. But why don't I have them? Shouldn't I at least have some fragments of his memories? Or is it because of transmigration that I don't have them? Or maybe I will gain them later or something?'
All sorts of wild ideas and theories appeared in his mind as, for a moment, his imagination ran wild. But then he shook his head.
Looking at the mirror in a corner of the room, he thought.
'Well, first let's see what I look like. I mean, how this body looks.'
He stood up as he slowly approached the mirror. Standing in front of it, he looked into it.
His reflection stared back at him.
Looking at his reflection, Xiao was completely stunned as an laugh filled with disbelief escaped from his lips.
"No way!?"
Contrary to what he was expecting to see, instead of the reflection of an unknown person, whom this body belonged, he was seeing his own reflection his very own face.
"How can this be?!"
Xiao felt like nothing was making sense right now. If he had transmigrated into another person's body, then how could he still have his own face from Earth?
'Wait... is it really true that I transmigrated with my own body, got unconscious in the process, and then some kind stranger took pity on me and decided to help me out?
Crazy!'
An ocean of questions flooded his mind as Xiao felt like nothing was making sense right now. The more answers he found, the more confused he became with even more questions.
'No, wait. Even though it is my face and body, something is different and strange about it.'
Xiao intensely stared at his reflection as though it held the answers to all of his questions. While the face and body in the reflection looked similar, there was something different about them.
'Why does my face look more beautiful and paler than before?'
Even by Earth's standards, his face was very handsome and masculine, with his short white hair. Even in his younger days, he was the Mister Handsome of his high school and college.
And after becoming successful in life, he had all the elements a man needed. Rich, handsome, and attractive. This had caused many women to actively pursue him.
But thankfully, his beautiful yandere girlfriend took care of those thirsty women, which saved him from a lot of trouble.
Otherwise, he would have had to deal with a bunch of women who were lusting after his body, money, and power.
'She's really the best. Sometimes even I feel like I don't deserve her.'
Praising his girlfriend, who was perfect in almost everything she did, Xiao shook his head and focused on his current situation as he looked at his face.
'Damn?! When did I become this handsome? Holy... If I happened to have this much beauty back on Earth, then I might have become a global sensation overnight. Hell, I might even be the most handsome man that has ever walked the Earth.'
