I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

After thinking about it for a moment, Sakura frowned again.

"When Ling realized that you were paying attention to her, she was quite happy. If she knew that it was because of you... I'm afraid she would be sad."

"But isn't this a very good reason?"

Ye Ming had a clear conscience, but Ling, who had seen Ye Ming saving her in her dream, was not so calm.

"That's true, but... ha..."

Sakura, who had absolutely no experience, didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing and could only sigh helplessly.

"It's okay. I'll explain it to her when I get back. I hope the child won't be depressed."

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on Sakura's waist began to vibrate.

After looking at the content on the screen, she stood up suddenly and her face changed suddenly.

"what happened?"

"Ling... was locked up by Dr. Mei."

"???"

Although Ying was the most panicked when she heard the news, Ye Ming was also very upset.

I've been watching Ying for so many days and nothing happened. How come I just happened to run into her today when I was dealing with other things?

"Is this another coincidence?"

On the way to Mei's place with Ying, Ye Ming felt very uncomfortable.

It seems like I had a similar feeling before. I can’t describe how strong it was, but I just felt uncomfortable all over.

"I'm sorry, Sakura, we detected a violent Houkai reaction in Ling, very similar to that of the Herrscher."

"But she doesn't show any abnormality, right? Isn't it too hasty to lock Ling up like this?"

"Regarding Ling's abnormality, we will conduct follow-up tests. As for locking her up now, it was actually Ling's own request."

Unlike Sakura who was completely panicked, Mei seemed very calm:

"She was worried that she would really become a Herrscher and hurt the people around her."

Now, no matter how reluctant Sakura was, she had no room for argument.

"In that case, I have a request. Let me watch over Ling, and remove the other guards."

Ye Ming didn't waste any words and directly took out the countermeasures he had come up with during this period of time.

"This is too dangerous. If Ling really becomes a Herrscher, we won't be able to support you in time."

"If it really comes to that, having other people there would just be expanding the death list."

Ye Ming's arguments were reasonable and well-founded. If it were someone else, they might have been convinced.

But May clearly had the right idea.

"Ye Ming, it seems that you don't understand your own value. If the sacrifice of hundreds of people can buy you a glimmer of hope, then it is completely acceptable."

"Even if we ask you to guard Ling, we must not be stingy with other defensive forces, even if this will expand the death list several times."

This is for the greater good, and it is undeniable that any competent leader would do so.

——This person named Mei is very much my type.

Be it the rational side or the fact that it attached great importance to Ye Ming, the system was very satisfied.

"Then let me guard it together with Ye Ming."

Before Ye Ming could say anything, Ying stood in front of him.

"If Ling really becomes a Herrscher, I will protect Ye Ming at all costs."

To be honest, Sakura didn't really understand what practical benefit her proposal could bring to Ling.

But she knew that if the people guarding Ling were herself and Ye Ming, at least Ling in prison would be able to regain some dignity.

869. Responsibility as a Sister

"I doubt it."

Mei looked at Ying. Her expression was very gentle, but her attitude was very serious.

"Sakura, would you draw your sword against your own sister?"

"I……"

Even though he knew that his position had to be firm at this time, in order for Mei to accept it, his answer had to be decisive.

The cruel possibility that Mei described still made Ying hesitate for a moment.

"It seems that I cannot agree to your request."

"Woo..."

Mei has already seen through the clues. Even if Ying tries to make up for it now, she won't be able to fool Mei's eyes.

“I think this is a good suggestion.”

Fortunately, Ye Ming also has his own plan.

"Ying doesn't need to draw her sword against Ling. She just needs to use her ability of Setsuna to freeze the Herrscher's attack and give me a chance to escape."

"My safety is your top priority. That's totally in line with your philosophy, isn't it?"

Compared with showing the affection between sisters and the trust between colleagues, Ye Ming's opinion is more convincing.

"I understand, Ye Ming, Ying, be careful."

"what……"

After getting Mei's consent, Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her misty eyes were filled with gratitude towards Ye Ming.

"That's the way it is. You can all evacuate now."

After receiving the order, the soldiers in charge of guarding Ling felt relieved.

The potential Herrscher was right here but they could only watch over him. For them, it was as torturous as guarding a time bomb.

"Sister? Ye Ming? Why are you here?"

This seems to be the best of both worlds, but if there is anyone who cannot accept it, it is Ling who is extremely shaken at the moment.

"It's okay, Ling, we will be with you, don't be afraid."

"No! Go back quickly!"

Ling applied to be locked up because she was worried about hurting others. The two people she was most afraid of hurting were standing right in front of her.

"I'm in danger now. If I become a Herrscher..."

"No, that won't happen."

The younger sister who wants to protect her sister, and the older sister who wants to protect her younger sister, at this moment, their minds have formed completely opposite ideas.

The helpless look of being manipulated by fate seemed to foreshadow an inevitable tragedy.

"Calm down, Ling. We will take good care of you. Ying, don't make Ling's mood fluctuate anymore."

"I, I know..."

Ying, who could only rely on Ye Ming for Ling's problem, returned to Ye Ming's side obediently like a rabbit, and Ling also calmed down.

The atmosphere at the scene became unusually silent, and the only sound that could be heard was Ying and Ling's irregular breathing.

Ye Ming knew that the two of them were restless, but he ignored it because there were more important things to think about right now.

"According to the information I found in the Paradise of the Past... the Ruler of Corrosion of the previous civilization, it won't be difficult to get rid of her."

The first sentence of the inner monologue was the opening lightning strike, which also attracted the admiration of many viewers.

[Ah? Is it that amazing?]

After all, according to the records, the Ruler of Erosion of the previous civilization destroyed the only remaining living space for mankind, while the one of the current civilization destroyed it at the cost of the entire paradise.

But in Ye Ming's opinion, the other party seemed to be just a bidder and was not even worthy of being the core of the problem.

"The difficulty lies in...how to keep Ling alive."

There is no doubt that Ling has been infected by the Herrscher of Corrosion at this moment and has become the host of the ultimate virus.

After Sakura's death, the virus will break out on a large scale. Even if there is a way to eliminate it, the damage caused to human civilization will be irreversible.

Therefore, not to mention that Ying and Ling have a good personal relationship with Ye Ming, even if they have nothing to do with each other, Ye Ming cannot let Ling die.

"Ye Ming..."

Time passed in silence minute by minute until Sakura's voice broke it.

"what happened?"

"Although you may be tired of hearing this, but...thank you."

Sakura's voice was full of guilt. She knew that verbal thanks meant nothing, but other than that, she didn't know how to express her gratitude.

"I just saw some bruises on Ling's wrists. I think the people who were in charge of detaining her were rough with her because of the potential danger."

"It's only been two days since the incident happened and it's already like this. If it goes on for a little longer, I don't know what kind of atrocities it will turn into."

Imagining that possibility, Sakura's shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

Fortunately, Ye Ming was by her side. Feeling his breath and warmth, the fear in Ying's heart was gradually buried by a sense of security.

"You must have considered this to let us replace those guards."

At that time, Ying thought that Ye Ming did this to protect Ling's dignity. Now it seems that Ye Ming has a more far-sighted vision than herself.

"I am such an incompetent sister...

"It's not like that. I was too willful and didn't discuss it with my sister."

Ling also heard Ying's self-blame, and while defending her, she also felt Ye Ming's consideration.

Although Ling is very worried that she will hurt her sister and Ye Ming after becoming a Herrscher.

But as far as the feeling at the moment is concerned, compared to those rude strangers, the two people in front of her can obviously provide the companionship that the helpless her needs most.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

Ye Ming heard what Ying said just now, but he didn't hear it completely.

He had been thinking about other things, but he was also inspired by Sakura's gratitude.

"Ying, as a sister, can you take responsibility for Ling?"

"Of course, as long as I can do it... No, I will definitely find a way to do it."

"In that case, I have a plan that I need your assistance with."

Anyone can know this plan except Ling, who is the parasite.

So, Ye Ming leaned close to Ying's ear... Of course, it was the pair of long fox ears.

In order to let Ying hear clearly while preventing Ling from hearing, he used his hands to prop up his drooping ears.

The intimate contact of sensitive parts also made Sakura a little shy, but as it concerned her sister's safety, she quickly overcame it.

"But...if this happens, will Ling be in danger?"

Hearing such a bold plan, Sakura was very shaken.

"But Ling is now parasitized by the Herrscher. If we delay this, she will be completely eroded. So we must take action."

As he spoke, Ye Ming patted Ying's shoulder.

"Her safety depends on your performance. You must maintain your pride as a sister."

The keyword that was once extremely sad has now become a shot in the arm for Sakura.

A determined light flashed in her eyes in an instant, and even her ears stood up.
