These weird things are all mine

It's just a piece of human skin.

It's just a deception.

All of this is just a lie carefully woven by "Puppet Rumor".

Luo Ling wanted to convince herself of this fact, but she couldn't help but waver.

Could it be that Puppet Rumor had used some kind of power on her?

Why is "Kume Kou" still performing hypocritical emotions...

After thinking for a while, my sister seemed to understand and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, you can see now. I thought it would take some time after taking the medicine. You really look much better now."

She raised her hand and scratched Luo Ling's nose, chuckling,

"Don't be so nervous, Xiao Ling, I'm your real sister."

...Of course I do.

Luo Ling was unmoved by this, her eyes gradually turned cold, and she seemed to be making up her mind.

The next moment, she was enveloped in a warm embrace, her sister opened her arms, and embraced her with her soft body.

The cold touch slowly pressed against her cheek, and her sister's usual voice whispered softly in her ear.

"Don't worry, Xiao Ling, everything will be fine."

Luo Ling opened his eyes and stared into the distance.

She had experienced warm illusions and cruel and terrifying reality countless times. She thought that even if she stood in front of her sister, no matter how real she was, she would be able to take action without hesitation.

only...

When he felt the soft and warm embrace, the cool touch on his cheek, and the faint familiar fragrance surrounded his nose, these illusions that had been perfectly replicated appeared on Luo Ling with incomparable reality.

She couldn't do it.

No matter what, she couldn't do anything to her sister.

"Xiao Ling?" My sister's voice suddenly sounded a little flustered. "Why are you...crying?"

Did you cry?

Two lines of tears slowly slid down the silver-white girl's stiff expression.

"Have you been bullied?" The elder sister reached out her hand and wiped away Luo Ling's tears with a distressed look. "Tell me about it, I will vent your anger for you! No matter who wants to hurt Xiao Ling, I will pay them back a hundredfold!"

"Why..."

Luo Ling struggled to squeeze out a few sounds from her throat, with a hoarse cry tone.

She doesn't understand...

My sister is a puppet. She is the one who killed Ji Ying, Bai Yan Village, and countless others...

Even Luo Ling himself nearly died at the hands of Puppet Yao several times.

Why are they still acting like sisters in love at this time...

Incomprehensible.

Why is all this happening?

"why?"

My sister stopped moving at this moment.

She lowered her eyes and looked at Luo Ling's sadness and confusion tenderly.

Then he started laughing.

"Because Xiao Ling, I love you." An unprecedented smile appeared on my sister's face, and her appearance in memory had not changed at all, even though everything around her had turned into gray and bleak despair, blending into eternal pain and struggle, "No matter what time it is...I will always love you."

In an instant, Luo Ling lost all his strength.

Because she got the answer she least wanted.

Her sister is still her sister, always has been.

Even until now.

Even if...my sister is "Kumeru Ya".

"Well, if a girl cries all the time, she will become very ugly." The elder sister reached out her hand and held Luo Ling's cheek, her eyes full of pity and love. "My little Ling is so beautiful, it would be a waste if she cried and her face became ugly."

"I..."

Luo Ling opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her sister's fingertips gently pressed her mouth shut.

"Shh." My sister still maintained her gentle smile, "Let's go buy something first, otherwise, we won't be able to have dinner in time."

After saying that, she continued to hold Luo Ling's arm and walked out of the alley.

Luo Ling followed her sister with a blank expression, like an exquisite marionette puppet.

After the previous riots and disasters, the entire Jiangcheng County fell into chaos for a period of time. Looking around, ruins of broken walls and ruins were everywhere.

However, when the real hatchery was fully revealed, everything returned to normal.

More weird normal.

Luo Ling slowly raised her head, and wherever her eyes went, all the images lost their color, leaving only black and white.

Only those who live normally among the ruins still have a beating heart of life.

Their flesh and blood were intact, and there seemed to be no trace of being controlled by mycelium.

But Luo Ling could see that among these seemingly normal flesh and blood, there were countless indistinguishable fungal hyphae hidden.

It looks like...

Just like scattered dandelions.

This is the real nourishment of "Puppet Rumor". A total of 400,000 ordinary people in the entire Jiangcheng County are in a state of "complete domination".

From the very beginning, His power had already exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Is it the right weight? Can't it be cheaper?"

In front of the fruit stall, the shop owner who was controlled by a thousand threads argued with the sister until he was red in the face and even turned his weight over to prove that there was no such thing as a ghost scale.

My sister, who always speaks softly, would often only become a little tougher at this time and spend her limited living expenses as much as possible.

This scene, which used to be heartwarming, now seems ridiculous after witnessing the truth.

It's like a one-man show directed and performed by myself.

My sister is the mastermind who controls the entire Jiangcheng County. She doesn't need to live a hard life like ordinary people. Even if she wants to use the entire Jiangcheng County for her own benefit, it is just a matter of thought.

Their past is a joke.

Finally, after arguing with reason, my sister succeeded in buying several kilograms of fruit at two-thirds of the price, and left the fruit shop triumphantly with the bag in her hand, like a general who had won a battle.

"I knew the price he mentioned would be more expensive. These unscrupulous merchants don't mark the price because they like to bully weak girls like us."

On the way, my sister continued to chatter.

Luo Ling remained silent and said nothing.

The deeper you go, the more serious the surrounding ruins become. Within the area affected by the disaster, the former high-rise buildings have all become collapsed and scattered dirt and stones.

But even in this situation, these dominated people still maintain a normal life.

Ordinary daily life was intertwined with doomsday-like ruins. The only word that could describe what Luo Ling saw was "bland horror."

"When did it start, exactly?"

Luo Ling opened her mouth slightly, and her weak and hoarse voice finally asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart.

"When... it's hard to say, I can't remember." My sister looked thoughtful, "Maybe, after you got sick, I had already vaguely noticed something."

Get ill?

Luo Ling was stunned. Her illness only appeared a few months ago, and the disaster of Puppet Rumor had already occurred at that time.

Besides, it would be impossible to quietly cover the entire Jiangcheng County with a hatchery and dominate the humans in the entire city in just a few months.

Ji Yingke has been keeping an eye on this city. If Puppet Rumor shows even the slightest trace, she will devour it without hesitation.

Ji Ying's reaction was only a little slow because Baiyan Village was too small and located in a remote area.

But why...

"I don't know." As if she saw what Luo Ling wanted to ask, her elder sister blinked and said innocently, "Xiao Ling's thoughts are a bit complicated. It may be because of the generation gap in three years. I don't quite understand."

Luo Ling raised her head indifferently. The ferocious and elegant puppet Yao was smiling at her, and the human skin covering it was looking at her gently.

"However, as long as it's something my sister knows and Xiao Ling wants to hear, I will tell her."

As my sister spoke, her pace seemed to quicken a little.

Before Luo Ling had time to think, his mind was still full of his sister's strange smile, and he stepped into a certain place unexpectedly.

Where?

She raised her head suddenly, her heart tightening.

Was I too lax, and was I influenced by my sister, and fell into the puppet's conspiracy at this time...

Several figures came forward at this time, and just when Luo Ling wanted to draw the dagger from her waist, her sister held her hand tightly again.

Her heart began to beat faster as Luo Ling watched these ordinary people who were also dominated slowly walk in front of them.

Then...

Bow.

"welcome."

They said in unison.

"Xiao Ling, haven't we been here before?" Sister tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why are you so nervous like it's your first time here?"

Been here...

Luo Ling looked around. The place was badly damaged, with large pieces of rubble and exposed half-steel bars all over the ground. It was almost impossible to recognize its original appearance.

It was not until her vision under the ability of "Kume Rumor" gradually changed to that of a normal person that she finally saw several figures coming towards her. They were wearing the same set of clothes, and the nameplates hanging on them pointed out where this place was.

"A clothing store...in a shopping mall?"

On Luo Ling's birthday, she and her then sister came here and bought a pair of particularly expensive gloves.

Until now, this pair of gloves is still kept in Luo Ling's hair, and she has never been willing to take them out and wear them.

"Clang clang!" My sister suddenly clapped her hands and said with a smile, "It's a surprise, Xiaoling!"

She took Luo Ling's hand and walked to the only undestroyed place in the store full of ruins. A familiar and beautiful tasseled long dress was hanging in the closet.

"This is..."

Luo Ling looked at the skirt and suddenly remembered it.

When shopping in a clothing store, my sister looked at this dress from time to time, but unfortunately the price was too expensive, so she didn't dare to ask for it.

Although Luo Ling wrote it down, many things happened later and he never had time to buy it.

Could it be that the first thing my sister did after discovering her power was...

Wait, isn’t this skirt a little too small for my sister?

Is it possible...

At this moment, the shop assistants split into two sides, one side surrounded Luo Ling, and the other side took the long dress down from the closet.

My sister turned her back and said slowly,

"Xiao Ling, I actually noticed at that time that you seemed to like this dress very much. You looked at it over and over again several times."

Because you are watching.

Luo Ling stayed where she was, looking at her sister's back, and unknowingly a little warmth filled her eyes.

"It's a pity that my sister is so useless that she really can't afford it... Even the birthday present for my dearest sister is so shabby."

She turned her head slightly and looked at the girl who was dressed up like a doll. Her eyes were curved like a bright crescent moon.
