Weird Blue Box [1]

Body-switch, shorts
Lan Wangji X Wei Wuxian
Lan Xichen X Jiang Cheng

Wei Wuxian woke up to the feeling that something was wrong. He looked to the side only to see himself blankly staring...wait what?

"Wei Ying." Wei-no, no. It was Lan Wangji...eh?

"Lan Zhan?! Wait, why do you look exactly like me...," Wei Wuxian was dumbfounded when he caught a glimpse of "himself" in Lan Wangji's eyes. "...and why do I look exactly like you?!"

Or in which Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian switch bodies and everyone is horrified to see a smiling and joking Hanguang-Jun.

~^~^~^~^~^~

"Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan! Look I found this weird...thing!" Wei Wuxian waved about an odd blue box that seemed to have two palm prints embedded on it on either side—as if someone tried to crush it with their hands but failed and ended up on leaving the outline—and some kind of round black thing that sticks out and makes people itch to press it. He rushed up to Lan Wangji and held it up like an offering.

Lan Wangji looked at the blue box, then at Wei Wuxian, giving a small hum and looking around the big hole again. To be more accurate, a circular crater about fifty meters in width and thirty meters deep.

That's right, a crater.

Several days ago, there was a report of odd energy suddenly appearing there. The energy was oppressive and strong and a lot of the people—cultivators included—that tried to get close to it didn't come back. The normal people were evacuated from the area and the energy died down after several days. The sects sent out several of their stronger people/disciples to see what had happened, Wei Wuxian decided that he wanted to know what it was all about so Lan Wangji went with him for protection—Lan Xichen smiled helplessly—Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingli tagged along because they were also curious.

A Yunmeng Jiang sect disciple suddenly rushed back, shouting that he had found several remains of the people and cultivator who had went here to check on what was happening.

Lan Wangji thought for a moment before going to look at them with Lan Jingyi, leaving after telling Lan Sizhui to take care of his mother. Wei Wuxian pouted, but didn't say anything. Lan Sizhui only smiled and went back to inspecting some weird stretchy thing that he had found. It had brown hair on it. "Mama, what do you think this is...?"

Wei Wuxian looked at it oddly, "Maybe it does something to your hair?" Before shrugging and trying to find out what the blue box's use is. He continuously pressed the button with either of his hands in the palm imprints.

Lan Sizhui sighed before putting it in his robe to discuss as evidence later on. Wei Wuxian did the same to the weird blue box he found, kicking the dirt around him to see if there's anything else.

~^~^~^~^~^~

They—Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji—used a hand to put into either palm prints on the box and Wei Wuxian presses the weird thing sticking out. Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen and Jin Ling are there now too. Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi watched along with those three.

Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji pulled back their hands when lightning suddenly came out of it, small bolts going here and there. Everyone prepared their weapons just in case and nearly attacked when the blue box suddenly burst its lid off, steam coming out of it and showing a charred inside with small metal and odd green chips.
