The NPC Has Split Apart

[Synopsis]

Jing You has always felt like an NPC in a video game.

He runs an ordinary exotic pet shop.

Every day, he feeds the "kids" as usual.

From time to time, he carefully handles and admires the "kids" he has lovingly raised.

He waits for wave after wave of customers to come visit, then clocks out.

His daily routine follows the same three stops: the exotic pet shop, home, and the snack street next door.

It's ordinary, rigid, and completely unoriginal.

Just like an NPC, he repeats the same tasks in the game day after day.

Even an invasion from another dimension and the arrival of the apocalypse don't change his mind.

Until one day, while washing up, Jing You sees the "himself" in the mirror grin at him with crimson lips and say:

"Hi, Jing You. Nice to meet you. I'm Jing Yan, Yan as in 'derivative.' I look forward to getting along with you."

Jing You: "..."

He's certain he doesn't have a mental illness.

His eyesight is a good 5.0 in both eyes, so it's not a case of seeing things.

He hadn't been drinking before looking in the mirror, his mind is clear, and he can make sound judgments.

Then the only explanation is...

Did he split in two like a cell?

Oh no!

Can he be stitched back together?

Help! Help! Help!!!
