Sister, can I be the scabbard too?

An hour later.

Suzhou University Auditorium, Tactical Command Center of the Lin Yuan Pursuit Committee.

"Boss, it's not that we didn't try our best, Lin Yuan really did disappear in an instant!"

"Yeah, boss, that kid's counter-surveillance skills are too good; we can't catch him!"

Several students are reporting the battle situation to Tang Ling'er.

Tang Ling'er rested her chin on her hands and listened quietly.

Zhang Xiaobai stood to his side and slightly behind, with her hands behind her back.

"Wait, what's with this weird stance? Why are you guys cosplaying Yodoharado and Fuyutsuki here, you bastards!"

Old Wang, hugging a Phoebe plushie, couldn't help but complain:

"And why did Tang become our leader?!"

Things became increasingly abstract, even for someone like him who was always dealing with abstract concepts, now living in Bengbu.

But Tang Ling'er's attention was completely elsewhere.

She stared at the students who were giving their reports: "You just said... Lin Yuan might not exist?"

"Uh, that's what Young Master Hua Linglong said." The two students exchanging glances:

"The idea that Lin Yuan might be some kind of ghost story..."

Zhang Xiaobai was speechless: "You guys actually believe that? Are you three years old...?"

"If that's the case, it's quite possible." Tang Ling'er nodded.

Zhang Xiaobai's expression immediately changed, and he clapped his hands, saying, "Yes, you're right, my roommate has become an urban legend."

The two students: ...

Old Wang: ……

Phoebe: ...

Tang Ling'er ignored them and kept watching the video that the students had filmed that afternoon.

Due to concerns about public opinion, the videos uploaded to platforms such as Yin Fu and Man Jiao have been taken down at lightning speed.

These were the last few copies she had.

In the video, Lin Yuan's speed and strength are indeed superhuman.

Not only that, but his incredible shoulder throw technique reminded Tang Ling'er of the meteorite.

"Could it be that he actually awakened his superpowers before the apocalypse game even began?"

Tang Ling'er thought to herself.

In fact, the arrival of the apocalyptic game didn't happen in an instant.

Before the final two worlds overlapped, many people and animals were affected.

Some of them gained power ahead of time, while others became monsters prematurely.

Of course, in her previous life, Tang Ling'er knew nothing. She only realized that the catastrophe was coming after the game actually arrived.

"If that's the case, then Lin Yuan's strength makes sense... No, that's not right, it still doesn't make sense."

"No matter how powerful he is now, he is still within the realm of humanity."

"But after the game started, he was able to withstand meteorites... How did he manage that in just a few months?"

Tang Ling'er's curiosity was completely piqued.

But in any case, her choice was not wrong.

Only by clinging to Lin Yuan's coattails can one survive after the game begins.

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists.

Countless memories flooded my mind.

The father who detonated explosives to protect himself, the roommate who was torn apart by monsters while covering him, and the female teacher who died holding him... all these tragedies happened right when the apocalypse game had just begun.

She wanted to reverse everything, but she couldn't.

Monsters in the game world are protected by certain rules.

Human weapons are ineffective against them.

She wanted to reveal the information in exchange for the country's help, but her rebirth ability prevented her from doing so.

She wasn't a smart person; the only way she could think of to change everything was to cling to Lin Yuan's coattails.

She also knew that this might change her foolish sister's fate.

Therefore, when the end of the world is approaching, she will forcefully keep her sister by her side.

In that case, a world where everyone can be happy can be created.

"This time, I won't let this happen again. I will definitely save your mouths and teeth!"

"Sister, little sister."

Tang Ling'er was talking to herself when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

She looked up and saw that her older sister, Tang Feixue, had appeared in front of her at some point.

Upon seeing her, Tang Ling'er unconsciously clenched her fists.

An inexplicable sense of disgust rose within her.

That wasn't just because of what happened in their previous life, but also because of their childhood.

"Sister, little sister, why did you treat Lin Yuan like that this afternoon?!"

"I have to bite the bullet," Tang Feixue, the older sister, asked.

"What business is it of yours how I treat Lin Yuan?" Tang Ling'er sneered, leaning back strategically. "What, are you Lin Yuan's mother?"

Tang Feixue: ...

That's impressive; he speaks the absolute truth from the moment he opens his mouth.

If Tang Feixue didn't know her younger sister's personality, she would have really thought her sister had gained supernatural powers.

The onlookers, hearing the conversation between the two, began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Holy crap, who is this girl? She's so pretty, almost as good-looking as the boss."

"Wait... she and the boss are sisters?"

"So, why do we call him 'Boss'?"

"Hey, isn't that the girl Lin Yuan carried on his back this afternoon?"

The surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.

Tang Feixue, who suffers from social anxiety, felt extremely uncomfortable.

But she still forced herself to look at Tang Ling'er: "Um, sister, little sister. You, do you like Lin Yuan?"

"If you like him, I..."

"Alright, I know what you're trying to say." Tang Ling'er waved her hand and sneered.

"It's just something like, 'If I like something, I'll have it.' Ha, isn't that what you've always liked since you were little? You let me pick out your clothes first, you let me choose what you eat, and you even ask me first when you choose your high school courses... Ha."

"Alright, I'll be frank. I do want Lin Yuan, but Tang Feixue, I don't intend to rely on your pity."

"I'll fight for the man I like myself."

"In the end, it's still uncertain who will win and who will lose!"

These words, like a meteorite falling into the Jurassic period, caused an uproar among the onlookers.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! This is amazing?"

"No way, we haven't finished eating the gossip from this afternoon."

"Damn it... I hate it! Such a beautiful pair of sisters... What has Lin Yuan done to deserve this...?"

What's even more heartbreaking for onlookers is yet to come.

Tang Feixue listened to her sister's words, but unusually, she did not offer any comfort. Instead, she lowered her head.

After a moment, she slowly raised her head and took a deep breath:

"Little sister, you've got it wrong."

"I can give you everything, but not Lin Yuan."

"If you want to steal it, then try."

I'm sorry, little sister, but in order to avoid becoming an evil witch and for you to survive, I must become Lin Yuan's mother.

Until then, no matter how much you like Lin Yuan, I will not let you take him away!

"You..." Tang Ling'er stared blankly at her sister.

This was the first time she had ever seen desire on her sister's face.

Is this really the same sister who always gives in to me, is cowardly, foolish, a pushover, and seems like a saint?

So this is one side of my older sister.

"Heh." Tang Ling'er laughed with satisfaction, then stepped on the table:

"Sister, I've been waiting for this day for so long."

"Then I might as well make myself clearer."

Tang Ling'er pointed at herself, exuding an aura of dominance:

"Lin Yuan, I'm determined! Even Jesus couldn't stop me! I said it!"
