These weird things are all mine

How come it's so real?

Never mind, this has nothing to do with her.

Luo Ling didn't think she had any potential to be a star. She didn't have a good appearance, she wasn't tall, her figure was average, and she wasn't very good at speaking. Only her doting sister would be willing to believe that she was "noticed by a scout". If it were someone else, she would probably be regarded as a joke.

"I'm not a particularly big star. I'm just famous in China. I don't know how many people know me when I go abroad." Cen Xiangyun said implicitly, with a hint of pride.

"Oh."

Luo Ling nodded and started eating.

"...Oh? Just 'oh'?" Cen Xiangyun's smiling expression slightly collapsed.

She was hoping to see more expressions on Miss Luo Ling's face.

It’s a pity that Luo Ling had no interest at all and didn’t even think of asking about her work. She was completely different from her sister.

You know, yesterday when Cen Xiangyun directly revealed her identity in order to make Su Wan believe her, Su Wan's expression of disbelief is still vivid in her mind, which slightly inflated Cen Xiangyun's vanity.

It’s easy for ordinary people, but Su Wan is Miss Luo Ling’s sister.

But now it seems that relying on the status of a big star to cheat for the year-end bonus... Oh no, it may be a little unrealistic to let Miss Luo Ling join the "company".

Let's take it one step at a time. If possible, I really want to carry out the mission with Miss Luo Ling.

She reviewed yesterday's battle herself and found that even the C-class team she previously belonged to would find it difficult to escape unscathed when faced with such a situation.

So it is not an exaggeration to call it a "miracle".

Luo Ling didn't know what Cen Xiangyun was thinking. She didn't talk while eating or sleeping. After she finished her meal in silence, she nodded to her sister and Cen Xiangyun, and then walked back upstairs slowly.

"Slower."

My sister shouted worriedly.

"I know."

Luo Ling's voice came from afar.

"Oh, I don't know how much time I will have to wait for this illness." Su Wan watched Luo Ling go away and sighed, "I just asked for leave from her class teacher, and she complained to me, saying that she asked for leave too many times..."

"Oh? Is she still a student? A high school student?" Cen Xiangyun's eyes lit up and asked.

The taciturn Miss Luo Ling seemed reluctant to reveal her situation, but her sister was more talkative.

"Yes, the college entrance examination will be in June next year, and I don't know...ah." Su Wan looked very worried, but this kind of worry had never been shown in front of Luo Ling.

What a weird and wonderful pair of sisters.

Cen Xiangyun thought in her heart.

"Don't worry too much," Cen Xiangyun said, "I told you she has the potential to be a star, and I'm not lying."

"Isn't that a lie?"

Instead, Su Wan was surprised.

"Do I look like I'm lying?" Cen Xiangyun blinked.

"Honestly, Xiao Ling won't believe these words." Su Wan nodded and said, "In fact, I have always known that she is just an ordinary girl, but she is special to me."

She was always gloomy and quiet, always leaning against the wall reading quietly by herself, and even her class teacher rarely noticed her.

Luo Ling is such an ordinary person on weekdays.

"Sister, this is the part you don't know."

Hearing this, Cen Xiangyun suddenly laughed. Her bright and graceful smile made Su Wan stunned for a moment. Even as a woman, she couldn't help but marvel at Miss Cen's beauty.

To be able to become a popular star, Cen Xiangyun's appearance can be said to be one in a million. Even without makeup and wearing the simplest clothes, she can still attract people's attention when she walks on the street.

But even if it is such a Cen Xiangyun...

"Sometimes, Miss Luo Ling can shine." Cen Xiangyun lowered her chin, and the breathtakingly beautiful scene from yesterday flashed through her mind. The brilliance in her eyes increased a little more. "She was so beautiful back then that even I felt inferior to her - no, no matter what time it is, I can never be compared to her at that time."

"Really?" Su Wan was startled and smiled softly, "You have to talk to me about this."

......

Ignoring the conversation between Cen Xiangyun and her sister downstairs, Luo Ling went upstairs alone.

The petite girl with her white hair hanging down was reflected in the mirror. Her pale and translucent skin was shocking, as if you could see the blood vessels flowing under her skin.

The feeling of being "inhuman" became stronger and stronger. Luo Ling looked at himself in the mirror, looked at the girl's gray eyes, and sighed.

It is foreseeable how shocking she will be when she goes out in her current appearance.

It’s not a question of whether it looks good or not, but... it’s a bit scary.

If it happens in the middle of the night, it will most likely become an urban legend, such as a ghost of an innocent person taking away someone's soul.

It's just a little too petite.

"My abilities have grown a bit."

Luo Ling lifted up the hair and could clearly see that these hairs seemed to have some kind of indescribable "life" and instinctively wanted to devour all the life around them.

Even though Luo Ling was trying to restrain herself, there was still an inexplicable greed rising in her heart, like a primitive impulse, trying to dominate her thoughts.

The path of "death".

Only by bringing "tranquility" to the world can we go far on this path.

Luo Ling cut open his own flesh and blood slowly flowed out.

Her hair stretched out impatiently, greedily swallowing the blood, and her paleness was stained with a little bright red.

The feedback of satisfaction and desire was transmitted to her mind, but Luo Ling's expression remained calm.

She just stared at the blood silently until she was sure that her flesh was not entangled by the white mycelium.

"Fortunately, I was not affected by the "Kume Rumor"."

Luo Ling let his wound heal, his eyes flickering slightly.

The situation she was most worried about did not happen, which was already the best news.

in addition...

Now was no time to stand aside; the artist had come to her and she could not avoid him anyway.

The more you want to escape, the more these troubles will catch up with you...

In the words of the people who puzzled the path to the "other shore", perhaps from the moment she fell ill, the thread of her fate was closely entangled with these existences.

"But no matter what, I can't let my sister get hurt."

Luo Ling has made up his mind.

Now the conditions are ripe. She really couldn't let her sister leave Jiangcheng County before, but now it is different.

..."company".

Luo Ling once learned from Ji Shinian that this was a huge organization of awakeners spread all over the world, and almost half of the awakeners were members of the company.

Even Ji Shinian is no exception. He is actually an "outsourced" employee of the company, or a mercenary.

However, what’s special about Ji Shinian is his “other shore” ability, so his frontal combat capability is quite poor, even worse than that of an ordinary mid-level awakener.

If the "company" takes action, it should be able to protect my sister.

As for the puppet rumor...

Luo Ling did think about revealing this strange existence, but the most serious problem was that she also possessed the ability of "Puppet Rumor".

Coupled with the characteristics of the puppet itself, her existence can easily be mistaken for an "egg".

"Anyway, let's send my sister away from Jiangcheng County first." Luo Ling made up his mind, "Whether it's a puppet rumor or a pioneer of evil..."

And there is Ji Ying.

Even the "company" didn't know about the existence of Puppet Rumor, so how did she know about it?

What's the matter with her existence?

Luo Ling had a feeling that they would meet again soon.

Perhaps, the next time we meet, we will be close to the truth of all this.

Chapter 5 Train, Abyss (k)

“I can join The Company.”

A few days later, the black-haired gloomy girl came to Cen Xiangyun again.

Looking at Luo Ling, whose expression was as cold as ever, Cen Xiangyun smiled slightly.

"It seems that you have made sufficient preparations. Do you plan to become an "outsourced" or "full-time job"? "

"It's up to you." Luo Ling said lightly.

But he had a premonition and said the next sentence.

"But I have a condition."

This was not unexpected to Cen Xiangyun. In fact, she could guess the general conditions.

"The company has a branch two cities away, with a P9 director and several P8 specialists who are about the same level as Shao Hengshu." Cen Xiangyun replied with a smile, "Even if the artists and scientists work together, they can't do anything. Even if the dead performers are added, they are still no match."

She was also well prepared.

The previous attack by the "Evil Herald" seemed more like a spur of the moment attack than a premeditated one. If it was really premeditated, the first target should have been Su Wan rather than Luo Ling.

...And now, the "Evil Herald" has time to plan.

There was no way they hadn't noticed Su Wan's presence.

For an ordinary person targeted by these inhumane villains, simply death can even be considered a good ending.

"Thank you." Luo Ling nodded.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

In the past few days, Cen Xiangyun came to Luo Ling's house from time to time, and brought a lot of luxurious ingredients every time she came.

Su Wan was embarrassed at first and wanted to refuse, but Cen Xiangyun said that the food was nutritious and could help Luo Ling get better quickly, so she had no way to refuse.

During the time they spent together, Cen Xiangyun saw the relationship between Luo Ling and her sister, and she could guess that Luo Ling's conditions were no exception.

Luo Ling has not been completely recovering from his injuries these past few days. After all, he has to entrust his sister to someone else temporarily, and he can't leave her to a bad person.

Therefore, she asked for information from the communication group in the identity of "White Witch", and after a few days of getting along with each other and investigating the spores in secret, she was sure that Cen Xiangyun had no ulterior motives.

This Miss Cen's purpose was not simple, Luo Ling could see it even without using his ability, but this ulterior motive made Luo Ling feel more at ease.

A person who is nice to you purely for no other reason is often the one with more problems.

"Most likely they have recruitment targets or something like that."

Luo Ling made a guess that was almost the same as the truth.

In fact, recruiting people is only one of the quarterly OKRs, mainly because Cen Xiangyun had no performance in the past few months, and the task of Jiangcheng County was mainly carried out by Li Shaoheng.

During this time, Luo Ling had been on guard against the artist and scientist's next move, but the other party seemed to have disappeared inexplicably and never appeared again.

The events in Baiyan Village gradually calmed down, and "Puppet Legend" seemed to have fallen into silence, and similar situations never occurred again... The reason why the two company members stayed in Jiangcheng County was to deal with these two members of the "Evil Pioneers".

Not only that, the "company" branch also sent several P7 specialists over, so Ji Shinian didn't need to spend a lot of money on this, it was considered a value-added service.

"When do you plan to leave?" Cen Xiangyun asked.

"As soon as possible." Luo Ling replied.

"Miss Luo Ling, you are really brief in your speech." Cen Xiangyun wanted to pinch this little face that looked like it was cracked with ice, but she resisted the urge.

"If you have any requests, I can tell you more." Luo Ling bowed and said, "Anyway, I'll leave my sister in your care."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Cen Xiangyun snapped her fingers. "Get ready for the train tomorrow afternoon. Go and convince your sister yourself."

"...I have been preparing for a long time." Luo Ling's eyes sparkled.

It was almost evening when I got home. My sister was busy in the kitchen, preparing another sumptuous meal today.

Whenever Cen Xiangyun visited, she would bring enough food to cook seven or eight meals. Su Wan once refused some of the food on the grounds that it might go bad if left for too long, but she never expected that Cen Xiangyun would send a small refrigerator the next day, so that the small room would not seem crowded.

"You're back. Isn't Miss Cen coming over today?"
