Lock 2

Blurb: Anything in parentheses means the characters are communicating through their souls, so outsiders can't hear them.

Yun Xiangjue and Cheng Jingfei transmigrated into the body of a little-known celebrity who had died by suicide after being hounded by scandals.

"Get out of here! In a few dozen seconds, this body will be useless!" Cheng Jingfei said anxiously.

"Hah, I thought you were so kind. You were just crying your eyes out, and now you want to steal this kid's body?" Yun Xiangjue mocked.

Cheng Jingfei struggled to shove Yun Xiangjue out. "He's already dead. This body's going to waste if nobody takes it. Why can't I have it? I was the first one to discover he was going to kill himself, so this body should be mine!"

Yun Xiangjue held his ground and kicked Cheng Jingfei with all the strength he had. "Get the hell out! I'm still young. I haven't lived enough yet!"

"You're the one who should get out! You're two years older than me. You should've died ages ago!" Cheng Jingfei refused to budge.

A minute had passed since the little celebrity died, and the outcome was settled. Cheng Jingfei took over the right half of the body, while Yun Xiangjue took over the left.

"What do we do now?" Cheng Jingfei suddenly felt that life was hopeless.

"What do you mean, what do we do? If you hadn't fought me for this body, I would've been alive already!" Yun Xiangjue slapped the body's right cheek. He had no choice, since hitting the left cheek would hurt him.

"Screw you! If I hadn't fought you for this body, I'd be dead already!" Cheng Jingfei raised his right hand and slapped the body's left cheek hard.

"Holy crap!"

"Holy crap!"

They rolled around in pain, but couldn't actually roll anywhere: Yun Xiangjue tried rolling left, while Cheng Jingfei tried rolling right.

The two men, at odds with each other, were defeated by this cruel reality and stopped struggling.
