MDZS Characters Watching the Future

53. Empathy

The girl wiped her eyes and her face, and crashed into his body. Her entire soul was slammed inside. Leaning against the coffin, Wei WuXian slowly slid to the ground. The boys hurried to drag over a pile of straw for him to sit on. Jin Ling clutched the bell tightly, his thoughts unknown.

"You really did it." said Jiang Cheng.

"You made them all worried about you." said Nie Huaisang.

When the girl had just slammed into him, Wei WuXian suddenly thought of a problem, The maiden is blind. If I Empathize with her, wouldn’t I be blind as well and I won’t unable to see a thing? The effects would plummet. Oh well, only the ears should work as well.

"Why did I only thought about that now?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Because you're dumb." said Wen Chao.

"More like you're talking about yourself." said Jingyi.

After a few dizzying moments, the soul that had been light felt as though it landed on firm ground. As the girl opened her eyes, Wei WuXian opened his eyes as well. However, the scene before his eyes wasn’t a field of pitchblack, but instead a clear landscape with bright colors.

He could see!

"She's not blind." said Wei Wuxian.

"Maybe she only became blind before she died." said Nie Huaisang.

Seemingly, at the time of this piece of memory, she wasn’t blind yet.

During Empathy, the scenes shown to Wei WuXian would be segments of her memory with the strongest emotions and that she most wanted to express to other people. He could simply watch quietly and feel what she felt. At the moment, the two of them shared the same senses. The girl’s eyes were his eyes; the girl’s mouth was his mouth.

"So we are also going to experience it." said Jin Zixuan.

"I hope it's nothing that painful. Such girl doesn't deserve such suffering." said MianMian.

"Which is impossible." said Jiang Cheng.

Sitting by a brook, the girl groomed herself in front of the water. Although her clothes were tattered, she still needed the most basic level of cleanliness. Tapping a tempo with the tip of her foot, she hummed as she fixed her hair, as though she wasn’t satisfied no matter how she fixed it. Wei WuXian could feel a thin, wooden hairpin poking around in her hair. Suddenly, she looked down at her reflection in the water. Wei WuXian’s viewpoint lowered as well. A young maiden with an oval face and a sharp chin was mirrored against the water of the brook.

There were no pupils within the maiden’s eyes, only a field of white.

"She has a blind eyes yet she's not blind?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"How did that happened?" asked Jin Zixun.

"Ask yourself. Isn't it obvious? She was born with it." said Jin Ling.

Wei WuXian wondered, This is clearly the look of someone who’s blind, but right now I can see, can’t I?

After the girl fastened her hair, she dusted her clothes and leaped up. Grabbing the bamboo pole by her feet, she skipped along the road. She swung her pole as she walked, ceaselessly swatting at the branches above her head, knocking at the rocks that she passed, scaring the grasshoppers within the bushes. As soon as somebody approached from afar, she immediately stopped skipping. Properly holding onto her pole, she knocked on the ground as she slowly wandered forward, appearing quite wary. The group that came was a few villager women. Seeing her situation, they all moved out of her way and whispered to one another. The girl nodded with hurry, “Thank you, thank you.”
