The Twin, The Mother and The Moron

Ling Lan suddenly snapped from her daydream and rudely stared at this big'bro of hers. "You!... Almost killed us! What if that hand suddenly play pranks and want to kill indiscriminately!? Yes, I believe you now. But!... Damn, it scared the shit out of me, I almost felt that my soul, this soul! Wants to escape from my body outside!"

"Err... It's good that he's playing the rules rightly... Let's... Forget about this or don't mention this anymore. It still giving me some goosebumps while just thinking about it."

"Is that my fault? Hmmp!"

"Of course not, lil'sis... ... ... But you instigated to make me prove that I'm not lying though..." He whispered in the end.

Ling Lan snappily snap her neck to look at him. "What did you said~?"

"Nothing! Nothing... Seriously nothing!" Raised his both hand to surrender. "So, now that you know that I'm not lying... Can I see your helper? I want to talk to him personally so we can understand each other easily. What you think?"

"Ok... Little Four. Come out."

Luna saw another person appears that looking 3-4 years old, with innocent and bright smile on his face.

"So... This is your helper? Why... It's getting younger and younger... First I was 33 years old before I died, then next is you, a 24 years old girl, then so suddenly 3-4 years old boy?"

"Excuse me sir! I'm not dead!" Little Four followed up.

"So, why you're here in the first place? My helper was dead after he helped me, why you're not?"

Little Four was flabbergasted. "Boss! This... Your big'bro is cursing me! I'm not human, ok!? I'm Mecha Learning Device number 444444444 from Mechanical Kingdom of Mandora Star System, and her contracted long-term companion!" He explain with raising his chest to show his confidence.

"Oh, I see." Luna replied simply. "Ok, let's get down into the business. Tell me what you know so I can fill up anything that I might missed from my helpers memories."

They talks done within unknown time. About the Soul Bead and Soulscape. About the Mecha and the life inside of Family of Ling, anything that might help each other's knowledge.

Little Four added. "And lastly. After you get inside of Mindscape, tell me about it. I'll try to establish a Mental Network for you via Boss' Mental Network to connect with me."

"So, does it mean that I'll be a contracted companion then?"

"Nope. Learning Devices can only contract one person each device, and for me that would be Boss."

He nodded. "That's good. I don't need to rob my lil'sis of a helper and a friend."

Ling Lan rubs her nose and hugs him tightly but didn't say anything. Just feeling the warmth that coming from him. But suddenly remembered something. "So, that's why you're telling me not to cultivate before I'm done with stabilizing my Soulscape? Then... Big'bro..." She poke his shoulder and fidgeting.

"What might it be, lil'sis?"

"Eto~... Sorry that I lied to you earlier!" She bowed again 90%. "I said that this is Virtual Learning Space and I don't know about the Mindscape that you're telling about. Because before I got into this Virtual Learning Space, first requirement was to enter Mindscape for me to enter this space." She closed her eyes so hard that she might here some scolding or hateful words. But she didn't expected that he will pats her head that made her look up to see his face.

"Nah. It's fine. You're already at disadvantage the moment you let me go inside of this space of yours. You might breaking your mind to think for you to face me. I mean the soul of reaincarnator of your big'bro the moment you knew about your twin having a powerful spiritual power, right? That what kind of person I am in my past life, or something like that. So, don't worry about it. I understand them." He said and smile brightly at her.

Ling Lan broke into crying, she's wiping her tears that didn't stop. "I'm sorry! And thank you!"

"Shhh. I told you it's fine. Having those thoughts for how to survive because I might kill you because I'm a bad guy, and the knowledge that has been put on your shoulder so suddenly with that age of yours and still keeping sane is a commendable thing for you. Since you already have me, a Big Brother to depend on, don't hold back anymore, ok?"

"Uhmmm!" She did what she was told and didn't hold back anymore. She cried to her hearts content. Those painful memories of her past life. Those hurtful things that she needed to endured when she was bed ridden and not for her to show them to her family so she can't make them worry. Those crazy thoughts that she wants to end her life so she can just escape that torture moments.

Another long time took for Ling Lan to calm down.

"I'm sorry for my out burst." She said while wiping her eyes calmly but with bright smile on her lips.

"It's fine... But you really like to say 'sorry', huh? You need to save them later after we face our mother outside, you know." He winked.

Ling Lan forgot about that. "But she's so kind, so it won't happen big'bro, I'm confident with that, so trust me! Let's go big'bro."

Luna has still his doubts but didn't say anymore.

------------------------

House of Ling.

On the bed, the two babies that are sleeping so silently, woke up at the same time.

"Ayu-" (Big'br-) Ling Lan happily called at Ling Fei but suddenly stunned. She shivered from something she saw at the corner of the room. Duck her head on the body of Ling Fei, or the right phrase was squirming under the body of Ling Fei to hide her whole body.

Ling Fei's attention was at Ling Lan after she called him, and he is focusing at her until he saw her trying to hide at something.

"Abu!? Abu au bu!?" (Lil'sis!? What's wrong!?) He asked but facepalmed mentally. 'I can't even understand my 'words' then how about my lil'sis? Or maybe this is so called the Legendary Language of Babies?' He shakes his head.

*Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap

He suddenly heard a tapping sound, fast and repeatedly, at his back. He slowly turn his head to his back, but before he completely check it out. He saw the maids and butlers in the line, horizontally, lowering their heads. And he got a glimpse of a maid that can't stop shivering.

*Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap

He gulped and continued to turn his head. 'Now that I noticed. Why the light in the room is so dim?' Then he saw the pair of red gems shining brightly, but with malice under the cover of darkness in the corner of the room.

*Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap *Tap

"Abu, au bu bu au abu!" (Lil'sis, I thought you're confident earlier!)

"Ayu! Yu ayu au yu au ayu!" (Big'bro! This is my first time seeing her like this!)

"Au au bu abu au bu bu!?" (Then why the hell I'm the one facing her!?)

"Au yu yu au, Ayu!" (Because you're the older, big'bro!)

"So... Are you done having fun, kids~?..." A deep female voice came out from the darkness.

Ling Fei gulped another saliva. Ling Lan shivered more intensely.

Ling Fei stared intently at the person under the curtain of darkness. He saw the outline of the person, sitting while using her right foot to make the noise, while her hands are in a loosen clasp in front of her face only showing her eyes and above.

"Abu?" (Mother?) 'Whatever, let's face her and pray that she might understand me.'

"... Ohh... You're calling me like that? When you and your sister almost got me insane worrying about you both because you two slept for 3 days non-stop?" She said slowly and slowly walk towards them.

'Young Mistress, we didn't know that you can understand them.' All servants thought but didn't voice it out.

"Abu! Au abu..." (Mother! I'm sorry...)

"Ayu! Au yu ayu yu..." (Mother! I'm so sorry too...)

Lan Loufeng ignored them, still walking slowly that made both kids closed their eyes. She hugs them so tightly but not to the point of cannot breath. Crying after seeing them awake and energetic. She didn't sleep all night that made the servants worried at her but she lashed the worries at them and didn't care anymore of being a Lady or whatever it is. She's just mother of this two that making her insane at worrying.

She kissed both cheeks of two stunned kids non-stop with tears of joy. Then stop and stared at both of them. kissed their forehead and slowly close her eyes and descends on their bed.

Ling Fei and Ling Lan panic at seeing this.

"Abu!" (Mother!)

"Ayu!" (Mother!)

They called at her but stopped by the doctor. "Don't worry about her. She's sleeping, because she didn't want to sleep and waiting for you both to awake all this time."

Both of them looked at him, that made the doctor suddenly nervous. 'As if this two knows what I'm saying... Hmm.'. "Nod if you understand me." He asked but was shocked that they both nodded. But changed into amusement. "Then can you stand up for me?" But he only got response from them is stares, that staring at him as if he is a moron. "What!? What's wrong?" They rolled their eyes, ignored him and go back to sleep, this time with their mother.

"What!?" He was confused why they are like that. Then he felt a tap on his shoulder.

Ling Qin shakes his head. "You know brother. I know you're a great doctor for so long, but this day... I started to doubt you." He said and went out of the room. "Everyone, you can take your sleep and shift with others so they can sleep too. It's been hard on you all."

"Wha-... What do you mean!? Anyone! Can tell me what I did?"

Everyone disperse even the doctor out of the room. Ling Qin slowly closed the door, then took a last look at the mother and children. He sighed and the room went silent.
