The male supporting character was actually myself.

As a result, after receiving his brother's memories, he became completely addicted to all sorts of categorized short videos and live streams.

Although his origins and identity have been clarified, even Yan Jiangchen himself cannot answer the core question related to time travel.

All he knew was that he woke up here after a nap, possessing a strong body, a perfect appearance, the original owner's memories, and a vast fortune.

Therefore, people who were once oppressed by life and dared not have ambitions suddenly become rich, and they are even more crazy than nouveau riche.

All the thoughts he had only dared to imagine before surfaced from the depths of his heart: he wanted to take everything that belonged to the original owner and realize his daydreams, fantasizing about living an extremely luxurious, dreamlike, and happy life.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Protecting Our Sister Liu

"It was a passive and forced time travel. The imposter didn't undergo any strange rituals or anything. He just woke up after a nap and took over his brother's identity."

"I wonder if there are many people who suddenly change their personality or cut off contact with their families, these are the so-called time travelers?" Xiang Ninghua pondered as she took notes.

Lin Yanran toyed with the dagger in her hand and sighed helplessly, "Waiting to use technological means to capture souls or something, even if you are a genius, you can't do it in just one or two years. I wonder how long my brother's soul can wait."

"Don't be discouraged, let's wait for the fortune teller to come and take a look tomorrow!" Bai Wei encouraged everyone.

“Actually, I’ve been considering a new possibility,” suggested Zhou Ruofeng, the younger sister. “Big sister, we could try working together to develop an AI robot specifically for brother’s soul, so he can use his soul to drive the system.”

In this way, my brother can be immortal and possess a powerful body, giving him enough time to wait for us to help him regain his body!

Or perhaps, through gradual research, we can create a biomimetic human body.

Through some technological transformation, souls could be uploaded into machines to directly control an artificial central control system. That would allow everyone to achieve immortality!

The little white cat stroked its fluffy ears and exclaimed, "Host, your sisters are really daring! Their technology is something we haven't even achieved in the interstellar worlds we've visited."

“It’s good that you dare to think and try. As for whether you can succeed…” The semi-transparent Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, “That depends on luck. I can’t help with this kind of thing.”

After discussing for a while, the eight sisters returned to their rooms.

"Oh no, the imposter isn't in brother's room! Little sister, quickly check where he went!" Lin Yanran, who was preparing to make a move, climbed into the bedroom only to find the bed empty. Yan Jiangchen, who had been lying down to rest, was nowhere to be found.

Zhou Ruofeng hurriedly checked the computer screen and replied, "He's currently..."

Before she could send the message, Liu Qingmei had already replied, "Outside my door!"

She stayed in a guest room on the third floor that Jiang Chen had specially prepared. Once the door was closed, a key was needed to open it from the outside. In addition, there were four female bodyguards assigned by her sisters. Liu Qingmei did not expect that the door was locked from the inside.

Meanwhile, the imposter Yan Jiangchen was obsessed with getting the first kill. Even after lying in bed for a while with a dazed mind, he still got up in a daze and stumbled towards Liu Qingmei's room.

Perhaps it was the protagonist's halo at work, but the drunken Yan Jiangchen even found a large bunch of keys in the butler's hut where he checked all the windows and door locks and found none in the room.

"Snap! Snap!"

The key jingled as it turned the lock, and the door was quickly pushed open a crack.

Yan Jiangchen pushed open the door and chuckled incoherently, "Hey, pretty little sister! Quick, let me have a good time..."

Before the female bodyguard could react, Liu Qingmei subconsciously took two steps back, only to see a scene that she found extremely unbelievable—the gap that had been open was suddenly forcibly closed by a force coming from the opposite direction!

The little white cat, its fur standing on end, pressed itself against the door and cried out, "I won't let you get away with this, you bastard!"

“You don’t need to do that. The four female bodyguards just threw him out.” The semi-transparent Jiang Chen looked at the white cat in the stalemate with a hint of helplessness and comforted it, “I’ve arranged everything. The imposter won’t succeed no matter what.”

"That won't do!" The little white cat used all its strength and gritted its teeth, saying, "He has the protagonist's halo."

The script isn't being updated right now, and who knows, with some twist of fate, he might succeed. I have to protect my host's sweetheart; I can't let him have even the slightest chance!

Yan Jiangchen felt a powerful force blocking him from the door. Seeing that the beauty was about to be his, his anger flared up and he used all his strength to push the door open a crack.

"I'm doing you a favor by sleeping with you, don't push your luck! What kind of woman can't I have? I don't need you..."

He gritted his teeth and cursed filthy things as he struggled against the powerful force inside.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm almost out of power!" The fluffy little ball puffed up its fur, looking like a white ball, its tiny paws bracing against the door and clinging to the doorframe for support. "I must protect my beloved for my host!"

It shouted as it used all its last strength to resist.

Liu Qingmei stared dumbfounded at the empty doorway, which was being pushed and pulled repeatedly in a stalemate. The scene looked incredibly bizarre.

"Ah Chen, is that you, Ah Chen?" A few seconds later, she suddenly realized that it must be her boyfriend trying to stop that jerk!

Just a second before the little white cat ran out of strength, Yan Jiangchen, who was leaning against the door trying to force her way in, suddenly slipped and fell to the side.

"boom!"

At the last second, the little white cat slammed the door shut with its last gasp.

Upon hearing the commotion, the female bodyguard rushed over, locked the door from the inside, and pressed the alarm button.

"Phew!" The little white cat wiped imaginary sweat from its forehead and said thankfully, "Host, I did a great job, didn't I? Your girlfriend will be so happy to know you're there to protect her!"

Jiang Chen stroked the fur and said with a smile, "Thank you so much. You must have worked hard just now. I'll get you something nice to eat."

"It's no trouble at all, serving you, host!" The fluffy little ball of fur wagged its big, fluffy tail comfortably, squinted its eyes happily, and purred softly.

Yan Jiangchen, who had inexplicably fallen to the ground outside the door, grimaced as he got up. Before he could fiddle with the key to unlock the door, he felt a cold wind on the back of his neck, followed by darkness before his eyes.

"You dare to make a move on my sister-in-law? You're asking for trouble!" Ye Zhi Qiu, who was closest to him, knocked him down and dragged him by the feet into the basement.

Bai Wei had just finished her work when she saw this and hurriedly stopped her, saying, "No, no, this won't do! We're just trying to scare the imposter. Don't forget this is our brother's body. What if he really gets bitten? Although I chose non-toxic varieties, cockroaches are really disgusting. Don't disgust the imposter, don't disgust our brother."

"That's true." Ye Zhi Qiu tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, then pulled the person out and asked, "How did you arrange this?"

"I'll put some medicine on his ears, nose, and mouth, then throw him on the pool table. I've applied the prepared medicine to it, so cockroaches and centipedes won't dare to crawl on it. When he wakes up and finds himself surrounded by these things, hehehehe..." Bai Wei laughed mischievously.

After finishing his work, Ye Zhi Qiu checked that all the doors and windows were closed one last time before turning off the lights and going upstairs with his fourth sister to his youngest sister's room to watch the surveillance video.

The sisters wanted to make things difficult for the imposter, but they couldn't harm their brother's body, so they could only use methods that were harmless and ineffective.

"It's like a child's prank, it won't work." The semi-transparent Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly as he watched this scene. "Xiao Bai, I can only take over the body for a short time. The main system may still have many limitations. Please prepare the phone for me in advance."

The fluffy little thing squatted down next to the pool table and meowed sweetly a few times.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Seizing Control of the Body

Time passed by, and the night grew deeper.

Apart from the rustling sounds of cockroaches and centipedes in the basement, the entire manor was quiet and asleep.

"Xiao Bai, take out your phone, I'm about to begin." Jiang Chen felt the connection between himself and the remaining soul in his body, and found that the protagonist had entered a deep sleep and had reduced his control over the body to a minimum. He took a deep breath and stepped forward to attach himself to the body.

Perhaps because the protagonist's soul was inside the body, the feeling of possession was rather peculiar.

He felt as if he were crawling into a water-filled airbag, or into a bulky overcoat.

First, she put her left leg in, moved it around and stretched it out, then put her right leg in, followed by her arms and fingers. After "stuffing" each part in, Jiang Chen controlled her body and opened her eyes.

If I had to describe it, it really does feel like being fitted with an exoskeleton, except the physical sensation is more intimate and warmer.

"Host, is it ready?" The little white cat held up the phone, ready to hand it to him at any moment.

Jiang Chen blinked and opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.

His limbs felt like they were filled with lead, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move them an inch. He took a deep breath and forced himself to sit up from the pool table, then stiffly turned his head toward the camera.

"Drip drip!"

Just as he got up, the alarm in Zhou Ruofeng's room went off.

Xiang Ninghua, Bai Wei, and Zhou Ruofeng, three girls who lived together, all rushed to check when they heard the noise.

What is he doing?

"It's...brother! There's no mistake, that's brother's eyes!"

"Has my brother taken control of my body? Let's go check it out!"

……

Before they could even leave the screen, Jiang Chen, who was standing stiffly facing the camera, made a few movements like a puppet on strings. Then, she forced out a familiar, faint smile and suddenly closed her eyes, as if she had lost all support and lay limply on the pool table.

"Call Third Sister and Sixth Sister over and see if they can figure out what Brother meant by that action just now." Bai Wei, wearing a nightgown, looked puzzled. "Since Brother can possess beings, why can't he give us more hints? Or, why not just rip that guy's soul out!"

The eldest sister watched the replay over and over again and whispered to Ninghua, "There must be some kind of restriction. You see, when my brother first opened his eyes, he tried to open his mouth, but no sound came out. This means that it is very likely that the imposter has taken control of the body and pushed my brother's soul out of control of the body."

"These two extremely brief movements, like those of a puppet on a string, must have already placed a heavy burden on my brother's soul, right?" Zhou Ruofeng sighed as he dialed the number.

The little white cat also hung its head dejectedly, "Host, what should we do? The old Taoist's method didn't work!"

"It's not that it doesn't work, it's that the main system weakened the skill." Jiang Chen said helplessly, swinging his long legs as he sat to the side. "We can only rely on the girls' skills. If they can't find a practical and effective way to get back into their bodies, then we'll probably have to wander around this world as ghosts."

The fluffy little dumpling, puffing up its cheeks, hugged its short, furry paws and muttered under its breath, "Actually, according to the normal process, after completing the final chapter mission and kicking out, the host and the auxiliary system just drift around like this until the chosen one of the mission worlds has lived out their long life before they can return to the script selection space."

This state is already common for other hosts.

It's really frustrating for us!

Jiang Chen stared at a point in the darkness, saying nothing but quietly listening to the rustling sounds of the crawling insects.

“This is the most commonly used tactical hand signal.” After watching the video, which was less than ten seconds long and played repeatedly, the third sister, Ye Zhi Qiu, said with certainty, “Brother probably wants us to imprison the imposter and then evacuate as a whole.”

Look at the first action: he pointed to himself and then put his hand on his neck, which means he is a hostage.

To take him hostage—which translates to imprisoning an imposter;

The second action was a tactical withdrawal. The older brother pointed to the camera first before making the action.

He could only temporarily and restrictively gain control of his body, so he couldn't speak and could only give us stiff instructions like a puppet.

Let's see what Master Hua says tomorrow. If he can't do anything either, then we'll follow my brother's instructions and lock up the imposter.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we've all evacuated the manor, leaving only the robots my eldest sister and her team have built to work. Aside from ensuring my brother's health remains unharmed, we're providing full support to my eldest sister and youngest sister in developing a bio-engineered body for him.

After finalizing their next plan, the sisters went back to their rooms to rest.

The sky soon brightened again, and brilliant sunlight streamed into the hall through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a magnificent and radiant atmosphere.

"Miss, I have arranged everything according to your instructions." After serving breakfast, the butler said respectfully, "Today, I have specially arranged a car, a driver, and two bodyguards selected according to your requirements to ensure that the gentleman's safety will not be a problem."

Your schedule is quite tight, so your husband might be back a little late.

Xiang Ninghua nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, then proceed as follows..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a piercing scream, the kind that only the most terrified could make, coming from the direction of the basement.

"Ah! Help! Someone, come quick!"

When Yan Jiangchen woke up, she was completely furious. She was trembling all over and howling like a woman, having long since forgotten about her personal image.

He stared at the centipedes and cockroaches scattered all over the ground, feeling a chill run down his spine and his mind go blank. He screamed in a hoarse voice, "Someone come quick and get these things away! Get them all away! Don't let them come any closer!"
