The sky was filled with gray fog.
The teaching building, which was once brightly lit and crowded with people, is now dead silent.
The building was pitch black after the power outage, equipment and furniture were scattered all over the floor, textbooks, documents, test papers and other paper books were scattered all over the place, and it looked like the mess after a fight.
On the grassland.
The wood collected from the spot was piled into a bonfire, which was burning with a crackling sound, becoming the only source of light and heat in the school. There were a few small stools next to the bonfire, but at this moment, there was no one there, and it was not as lively as usual.
There was only a wounded girl lying face down on the ground, motionless, as if she was dead.
On top of her head, she wore a headband with a red bow accessory.
Xu Qingran's pupils shrank slightly and his breathing stagnated.
The scene from many years ago reappeared, depression, panic, and grief exploded in his chest, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably again.
He is back
Back to the world where he originally existed.
Xu Qingran soon realized that something was wrong.
The surrounding scenery, Xu Qingyao's age and the way she died were all exactly the same as they were then. He was the same age as Xu Qingyao back then, but now he was standing in this place as an adult.
He was wearing casual clothes.
He had no mirror, so he couldn't see which body he was currently using, but there was no glove or spirit seal on the back of his left hand.
So, this is a dream.
The dream that had trapped him for many years.
Xu Qingran was only nine years old that year.
He and Xu Qingyao were twins, but their personalities were as different as heaven and earth. Although he had experienced more than two years of apocalyptic life at that time and no longer cried easily, he was still a timid and shy person, unlike Xu Qingyao who was fearless and wanted to try everything.
A few days before the incident, they were being besieged by a group of strange beasts when they ran into an adult who was out looking for resources.
That group of people claimed to be college students. They had been working together since the accident. After helping them escape from the jaws of the strange beast, they took them to the campus camp where they were stationed.
The word "college student" always makes people feel trustworthy for some reason.
At least that was the case for the children. In addition, she and Xu Qingran had not had a place to rest for several days, so they decided to accept the kindness of this group of people. Holding Xu Qingran's hand, she followed them back to the school base with the joy of finding a companion in the troubled times.
In the first two years after the apocalypse, many people did not receive superpowers and died accidentally.
Therefore, during that period, the supplies outside were sufficient. Except for a few people whose mentality was not very positive, most people were able to cooperate with each other to fight against the aliens when they encountered danger.
Especially Xu Qingyao and Xu Qingran, they are just pitiful children who lost their parents. What they have received during this time away from home is mostly kindness.
At this time, they still naively held a relatively optimistic view of human nature.
During these few days of rest, the adults who brought them back were indeed very nice to them.
She would cook for them, share water and maps with them, and play with them. Xu Qingyao was originally cheerful, outgoing and enthusiastic. She had a lot of fun with them during those days, so she gradually let down her guard against them.
I didn't expect that these guys are demons in human skin.
That day, they received word that a wave of strange beasts was heading towards the school.
So everyone was preparing, starting to stock up on food and water, planning to leave the camp. Xu Qingran helped him and Xu Qingyao to fetch water from a clean water source behind the school.
It was Xu Qingyao who sent him there.
He didn't expect that in the time it took him to fetch water, when he came back, the birds and animals around the campfire had already dispersed, and everyone had left. Only Xu Qingyao, who was covered in wounds, was left lying there, barely breathing, and holding on until he came back.
It turned out that the people with special abilities had somehow learned that they had the chance to snatch other people's special abilities and transfer them to themselves.
So this group of people had already noticed Xu Qingyao's powerful potential in thunder ability when he and Xu Qingyao were besieged by strange beasts. They deliberately looked for opportunities to get close to them to gain their trust, and only revealed their true faces and attacked Xu Qingyao before leaving.
Xu Qingyao was still young at that time.
The power of superpowers will increase with age, and she is still unable to fully control and exert all of her lightning powers. Facing a group of adults with equally powerful attack powers, she, a child, can't resist at all.
They thought that as long as they seriously injured her and killed her, they could take away her supernatural powers.
But they tried many ways to snatch it away but failed. Seeing that the beast tide was getting closer and closer, and several of their companions were seriously injured by the struggling Xu Qingyao, they left before Xu Qingran came back.
They even took away all the resources they had with them.
Before Xu Qingyao died, she said to him with great pride: "Ha, they are such fools."
"I didn't know that supernatural powers can only be transferred if they are given voluntarily..."
Xu Qingran came back to his senses.
Just as I was feeling dazed by the familiar scene before me, I saw a girl in front of me who looked like she was already dead, raising her head with her dying breath.
Even though his head was badly injured and blood was all over his face, he still tried to show him his usual smile and called him, "Brother."
Just like the scene he saw when he came back carrying two bottles of water that year.
However, what Xu Qingyao said next this time was different from what she remembered.
Tell him: "My death is not your fault, so stop living with it."
·
"… The test results are out. It's one of the aphrodisiac potions from the potion list released by the Kaian Empire some time ago."
In the familiar ward.
After giving himself an injection, Xu Qingran lost consciousness due to emotional fluctuations and other physical reasons, and was immediately sent to the medical department by Shen Tingyu. Mu Zixuan, who was already very concerned about Xu Qingran's physical condition, rushed over without even eating.
Fortunately, the medical equipment on the starship was quite sufficient, no less than that of a regular hospital. Mu Zixuan quickly found out what Xu Qingran had just injected into him.
Mu Zisheng, who followed in to investigate the situation, was shocked.
Subconsciously, he asked, "Why would Young Master Xu use something like this on himself? He wants to... Uh, Fifth Brother, isn't your relationship life harmonious?"
Although in Mu Zisheng's eyes, Shen Tingyu should be omnipotent.
But at this moment, he had to suspect that Shen Tingyu might not be able to meet the requirements in some aspects, so that Xu Qingran had to use this method to... numb himself
Shen Tingyu glanced at Mu Zisheng coldly.
The latter immediately raised his hand and made a zipper gesture to his mouth, indicating that he would shut up.
"Second brother, please don't bully fifth brother." The clever Mu Zixuan saw something, "Fifth brother and Colonel Xu should have a clean relationship."
There were only a few of them in the ward who had a good relationship and were particularly familiar with each other, so they talked very frankly.
Everyone knows what this innocence means.
Shen Tingyu's silence was obviously the loudest answer.
Mu Zisheng, who had just promised not to comment, subconsciously exclaimed: "Haven't you two been together for several years?"
After a pause, he still found it incredible: "How could you bear it?"
"Are you still a human being?"
Mu Zixuan held the medical tablet.
I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Two hours have passed since Xu Qingran fell into a coma, and he still hasn't woken up.
Shen Tingyu looked at the person on the hospital bed with a serious expression and confused thoughts.
In one day, my mood was like riding a roller coaster, plummeting from heaven to hell.
He thought that after returning from the defense station on the asteroid, they had honestly revealed their biggest secrets to each other, and that their relationship had in some sense taken a big step forward, and there would be more beautiful days to look forward to.
As a result, at dinner time, he first heard the devastating news from Mu Zixuan that Xu Qingran was about to die.
I wanted to question him, but found that he not only bore this problem alone, but even injected himself with something like that at the critical moment.
Shen Tingyu clenched his hands tightly.
She did not dare to grab Xu Qingran's hand and just endured it silently, fearing that she might hurt him accidentally.
It is impossible to say that I am not angry at all towards Xu Qingran's behavior of always playing with his life.
But rather than being angry, he was more shocked and heartbroken.
He remembered that Xu Qingran was clearly extremely disgusted with acupuncture.
It had even reached the point where it had a serious psychological impact, but he forced himself to do the thing he disliked the most just for the sake of something he was unwilling to agree to.
Shen Tingyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Not influenced by his 'dominator', but an emotion from the heart.
He thought that it was his excessive worry and timidity that forced Xu Qingran to push himself like this today.
He even worried that Xu Qingran's inexplicable vital energy failure was related to his rejection.
"Fifth brother, I have good news and bad news."
Mu Zixuan on the other side of the bed suddenly said.
He didn't ask Shen Tingyu which choice he wanted at this time, and said directly: "Let's talk about the good news first."
"I just retested Colonel Xu's spiritual state and found that his vital signs have disappeared and he is gradually recovering."
When Shen Tingyu looked up at him, Mu Zixuan smiled and comforted him: "The observation time is about a week. If he can recover and maintain the level of a normal healthy person, it means that he will be fine."
Shen Tingyu finally felt relieved.
But he didn’t dare to let it all out, so he took the initiative to ask, “What’s the bad news?”
Mu Zixuan looked at Xu Qingran who was in a coma, and the smile on his face, which he had not yet completely hidden, now showed a hint of helplessness.
"The type of drug he injected himself with."
"I just finished checking and confirmed that it was the kind that was completely disabled a while ago and has a chance of causing damage to the spirit pool."
At this point, Mu Zixuan coughed lightly and continued, "That's right. If we don't have a deep soul communication with him during the period when the drug is taking effect, the surge in mental power induced by the drug will have nowhere to vent, and it is likely to cause internal injuries in the opposite direction."
Mu Zisheng was stunned.
—Although, when the legendary Colonel Xu gets ruthless, he won't even let himself go.
Shen Tingyu was silent.
After listening to Mu Zixuan's description, he roughly knew what it was.
Thinking back to the bar he and Xu Qingran had been to, Su Wenxu had looted several bottles of this medicine from there.
Because it is very rare, there are not many of them on the market.
Xu Qingran probably got it at that time.
When he was dealing with Xu Qing'an, Xu Qing'an might not have only one gun on him as he said, but actually had another one as a spare.
Shen Tingyu was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
He raised his hand and pinched his brow, maintaining this position for a long time, with his palm blocking his eyes so that others could not see the emotions in his eyes.
He was angry with himself and also with Xu Qingran.
Angry at him for not noticing this.
I was so angry at Xu Qingran that he had been planning this for such a long time.
"Apart from this, the medicine has no other side effects on the human body." Mu Zixuan said.
However, for psychics, the spirit pool is the most important thing. Once it is damaged, it is basically useless.
Mu Zixuan put an oxygen mask on Xu Qingran.
He pushed an instrument over and explained to Shen Tingyu before releasing the drug spray: "After seeing this drug on the news some time ago, my seniors on the starship and I conducted research on the antidote for it."
After all, even if the imperial government openly prohibits the production and use of this kind of medicine, it is still difficult to prevent.
What's more, its recipe has already spread to other empires and alliances.
In order to prevent their companions on the starship or their friends who interact with them frequently from encountering this drug in the future, they hope to develop a drug that can solve the problem.
At this point, Mu Zixuan showed regret: "We still haven't found a way to remove the drug's effects without soul fusion."
"However, an inhibitor of the mitigation has been developed."
Xu Qingran is still in a coma and it is unknown when he will wake up.
We can't ask Shen Tingyu to take advantage of others sleeping...
And Shen Tingyu obviously has a big concern about their integration.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Mu Zixuan didn't ask, and just did his own job: "I will now use the spray to let Colonel Xu absorb the relevant inhibitors. With the help of the inhibitors, the effect of the drug on the spirit pool can be temporarily diluted."
To put it simply, it is to slow down the effect of the medicine that will stimulate the surge of mental power and confusion through the inhibitory effect.
This method could buy Xu Qingran a few more days of relief, so that the problem would not go unresolved and his mental pool would not be damaged immediately.
Mu Zixuan reminded: "However, this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one."
"If the problem is not solved, the effects of the drug will accumulate, and the inhibitor's effectiveness will gradually decrease... You should be well aware of this, Fifth Brother. So when Colonel Xu wakes up, you two should discuss a solution to this problem."
Mu Zixuan has already confirmed Xu Qingran's current physical condition and there is nothing else to explain for the time being.
He pulled Mu Zisheng, intending to leave the two mysterious men their own space. Before leaving, he only told Shen Tingyu that if the small mechanical ball that detects the patient's data shows any abnormality, he should call him immediately.
After saying that, he dragged Mu Zisheng out of the ward together.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.
Shen Tingyu waited until his emotions calmed down a little before he gently held Xu Qingran's hand. He talked a lot about his life for a long time, and finally he just sighed helplessly.
He thought of the words Xu Qingran said before the acupuncture and fell into deep thought.
It was not until the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside that the white dog, who had sensed that something was wrong with his contracted partner, walked in.
I don't know if it was Mu Zixuan's deliberate arrangement or a coincidence that medical equipment was needed, but Xu Qingran's ward was right opposite the black dog's. When he was brought in, the white dog stood up and stood opposite him, looking into their room through the transparent door.
He came in only after seeing Mu Zixuan and the others leave.
When Shen Tingyu turned his head after hearing the voice, his eyes met its icy blue eyes.
The man and the dog saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was as if they were lamenting that they both had a partner who could not make them feel at ease.
During this period, the white dog basically stayed in the black dog's ward except for eating, and rested there when he was tired.
Shen Tingyu saw it walk to the other side of the bed, so he said to it, "He's fine."
"At least, I'm out of danger for now." Shen Tingyu said calmly, "I'll take care of the rest."
"do not worry."
Perhaps the white dog understood.
She turned her eyes away from him, leaned close to Xu Qingran and looked at him quietly.
The atmosphere in the ward was quiet, yet a little heavy.
Xu Qingran lying on the hospital bed didn't know whether he felt uncomfortable because of the effects of the medicine or was suffering from a nightmare again. His brows were slightly frowned and his expression was not very good.
Just as Shen Tingyu was about to use his other hand to feel the temperature of his body, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his head.
At the same time, along with the pain came a voice that had not been heard for a long time.
「Shh—」
Like the sound of a system's electrical current.
The next second, Shen Tingyu felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled away.
Holding Xu Qingran's hand, he fell asleep beside Xu Qingran's bed.
The white dog noticed the slight movement here and raised his head.
Seeing that he was still talking to her the moment before, but fell asleep very quickly this moment, she tilted her head in confusion.
Here, Shen Tingyu had a dream right after being forced to "shut down".
To be precise, it is like being brought into a dream.
He saw a man dressed completely in black.
It looks exactly like the one in Xu Qingran’s soul memory.
And in front of him, stood a girl.
She was probably only eight or nine years old, wearing a red bow headband on her head. The style looked a bit old and dirty.
Shen Tingyu's sudden appearance attracted the attention of two people at the same time, and they all turned their eyes to him.
Xu Qingran didn't seem to be in a good mood, and was a little dazed. He stared at him without saying a word.
On the contrary, the girl, who had never met him before, walked up to him very naturally after seeing him, raised her head like a little adult, and looked at him proudly for a few times, and finally said to him: "Not bad, not bad, you didn't disappoint me."
After saying that, she nodded to him in approval.
Shen Tingyu: “?”
General Shen was a little confused.
Another person who shared the same doubts as him was Xu Qingran.
Although Xu Qingran was dreaming, he still had a very clear memory of what happened before he lost consciousness.
I even know clearly that I am not in reality now.
It’s just that the dream made him recall the most unforgettable scenes of his previous life, but why did he tamper with the development of the plot without authorization
Even the Xu Qingyao in the dream could talk to him? Was it because he was too obsessed and became a demon in his heart
These doubts became even more confusing when Xu Qingyao walked up to Shen Tingyu like an old acquaintance.
—What is the plot direction of this
After Xu Qingyao finished talking to Shen Tingyu, she saw that he looked stunned. She put her fist to her mouth, straightened her chest and introduced herself: "Uh... should I call you brother-in-law? Hello, my name is Xu Qingyao, and I'm your boyfriend's sister."
"Oh dear!"
Xu Qingran: “…”
Although it was the first time that Shen Tingyu met Xu Qingyao, it was obvious that her words "brother-in-law" and "your boyfriend" touched his heart.
His cold face showed his most gentle and kind smile, and he greeted: "Hello, sister."
Xu Qingran: “…”
Seeing that the two people, one big and one small, inexplicably began to get acquainted in his dream, as if they were meeting family members, Xu Qingran finally couldn't help it.
He clenched his fists and shouted at the girl's back: "Xu Qingyao! What the hell is going on?!"
At this point, if Xu Qingran didn't react and realize that something was wrong, it would be stupid of him.
Obviously, this place should be more accurately described as a dream space. Shen Tingyu and Xu Qingyao were not illusions created in his dreams, but real consciousness.
He crossed his hands behind his back and pinched his fingers together, until he saw Xu Qingran's expression was extremely serious, his breathing became a little irregular, and his eyes were red with anger, then the atmosphere returned to its original seriousness.
"All right."
"It's a bit long. You have to let me think about where to start."
Xu Qingyao walked back to Xu Qingran, looked up and looked at him.
After thinking for a long time, her two almond-shaped eyes curved coquettishly with a smile on her face: "Brother, long time no see."
"I've always been watching you."
When Xu Qingran heard this, his expression instantly became stunned.
As Xu Qingyao spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Tingyu, smiled and sighed.
Xu Qingyao died earlier than Xu Qingran.
When she died, it was discovered that she had a very cool system on her body.
In the words of the system, it had been lurking in her for a long time.
Because the world they live in is an apocalyptic novel, and she and Xu Qingran are both characters in it. From birth to death, all their destinies have been clearly arranged.
She finished reading the novel.
Knowing that her and Xu Qingran's death would be inevitable.
Xu Qingran is the villain.
The trigger that led him to that path of no return was her death. After her death, he would accidentally inherit her supernatural powers, and his personality would change drastically, turning him into a villain who killed innocent people and wanted to destroy the world.
Xu Qingyao immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense, my brother would never do that!"
System: "Yes, your brother can't."
He will kill people.
But they will not commit inhumane massacres.
He was filled with resentment.
But I never thought of going so far as to destroy the world.
"That's why you and he have the system."
The cold system said.
"Because you two siblings are characters who accidentally awakened their consciousness in this world."
When characters become conscious, they will subconsciously defy the personalities that are set for them by the rules.
But they are still mayflies in the big world. Even if they have self-awareness, the laws will always use various means to make their destiny return to the predetermined path and avoid the collapse of the world.
Similarly, other characters in the original text who are unaware of Xu Qingran’s past and the grudges between him and others will have the most stereotyped impression of him.
His men are stained with blood countless times, and his methods are cruel and brutal. He is a villain who will destroy the world. The protagonists are destined to go against him and hunt him down until death comes.
The Space-Time Administration understands that such an arrangement is unfair to the characters who have awakened their consciousness.
Although we cannot change the original plot, we can arrange a system for them to start a new life. They can live the life they want with their own consciousness.
Unlike Xu Qingran's time travel, Xu Qingyao carried with him a rebirth system.
The system gave her the ability to be reborn as another character in the original world, and would grant her the lightning ability she originally possessed based on the ability of the original dead character. The only limitation was that she could not stay in the same world with Xu Qingran at the same time.
-After all, both siblings have gained so much benefit. If they can work together to cause trouble, wouldn’t they turn the original world upside down
Xu Qingyao's acceptance is quite high.
For her, as long as Xu Qingran, the brother who made her extremely worried, was fine, it didn't matter even if they were not in the same world.
Because she was worried about Xu Qingran, she has not yet been reborn.
I watched silently as Xu Qingran struggled and grew up alone in the original world, becoming an increasingly powerful and lonely adult.
She was concerned about his mental state.
Then she kept trying to persuade her arrogant system and finally got its permission to let her take a look at the world that Xu Qingran was about to travel to.
It would have been better if I hadn't seen the result, but I was shocked when I saw it.
Shen Tingyu, the villain in that world labeled as a bloody and abusive novel, was even crazier than her brother and was about to blow up the entire empire.
Xu Qingyao angrily asked the system: "You guys are too deceiving, aren't you?"
"Is there any difference between asking my brother to travel to a new world like this and letting him struggle in the apocalypse?"
She felt depressed when she thought about her poor brother having to suffer such a world-destroying trouble after coming to the new world.
If he traveled directly to after the incident broke out, wouldn't he have to struggle to survive among a bunch of foreigners and ruins?
The aloof system was puzzled: "Logically speaking, the development of this world should not be in this direction..."
The original goal was very simple, which was to defeat the group of demons. Preserving the empire was equivalent to preserving Xu Qingran's place of survival in the new world.
Under Xu Qingyao's strong protest, the system reported the matter to the management bureau.
This interstellar world is different from the apocalyptic stories of Xu Qingyao and others. It is a place that has been exiled by the management bureau, and no tasker has intervened to deal with it for the time being. After several discussions, Xu Qingran, who is about to travel through time, was finally given the following benefits:
"At that time, my apprentice will automatically trigger a special task for your brother, in addition to improving his spirit pool."
"As long as he completes the mission, your brother will be able to use his lightning powers to restrain the psychics in this world. The special mission is not difficult either, as long as he can successfully complete it. Of course, all of this is given to him, and the final outcome depends on his luck."
Xu Qingyao frowned.
Such irresponsible remarks! What if her silly brother can't handle it? What if this place is finally destroyed? Even if he doesn't die, what's the difference between this and him staying in the apocalypse
Xu Qingyao hopes her brother can have a more stable life.
She began to think about ways to change or prevent this outcome. Moreover, she also learned from the system everything Shen Tingyu had experienced, and felt that it was understandable that he was so crazy.
Such a tragic fate made her think of Xu Qingran.
So, we finally decided to solve the problem from the root.
"… The timeline of time travel can indeed be handled a little, but this cannot change the ending?"
"At least, judging from the life trajectories and routes I simulated, these two people will not have any intersection. One has been imprisoned in the dark Tower 1 for his entire life, and the other is a young master of a wealthy family. The only possibility of them meeting is that your brother did something stupid and sent himself to prison."
The system said it without any emotion.
Xu Qingyao has been reading a lot of strange books over the years while waiting for Xu Qingran to travel through time.
Then he had a wonderful idea: "Didn't you say that the internship system on my brother is your apprentice? The content of the task can be changed, right?"
"It's easy to make two people interact! Isn't it better to force them to have a mission?"
"And your special mission, it would be best if it is related to Shen Tingyu, so that my brother has to contact him!"
system:"… "
Before the aloof system had time to refuse, the clever Xu Qingyao said, "We've known each other for so long, don't try to fool me!"
"I've talked to you so much, and you mentioned modifying the mission before."
system:"… "
"Permission..."
"Don't tell me you don't have the authority. You can even take on apprentices. Your status in the system of the Administration must be very high, and your authority must be very high!"
system:"… "
Xu Qingyao started to throw a tantrum: "The result is the same anyway, you just need to slightly modify the mission instructions of your apprentice!"
He continued to shift the blame: "Look, we two brothers and sisters are so pitiful, and this world is still the result of your mismanagement. You have to take responsibility!"
The system is fed up with Xu Qingyao, a chatterbox.
After much thought, I decided to agree to her request after making sure it would not affect the outcome of the larger task.
However, the task that Xu Qingyao assigned to Xu Qingran was not to gain Shen Tingyu's favor.
But it’s about his favorable impression of Shen Tingyu.
Xu Qingyao thought it through thoroughly: "My brother's personality has changed a lot now, and he must be very picky about choosing a soul mate."
"If Shen Tingyu is really worthy, then he should be able to make my brother like him."
As for how much Shen Tingyu likes his brother
It is not within Xu Qingyao’s consideration.
—After all, her brother is so outstanding, isn’t it inevitable that Shen Tingyu will fall in love with him
Xu Qingyao is so confident.
The system did as she expected.
But he still reminded: "But your brother's time travel timeline can't be changed too much. Even at the earliest time, Shen Tingyu had been tortured in Tower 1 for many years."
"It's not certain that we can successfully make contact. Even if we do, your brother might be in danger. The best case scenario is that you will end up with a perverted target who is paranoid and fierce and likes to imprison and tie him up."
The stimulating words were described by the aloof system in an emotionless tone.
Xu Qingyao was silent for a few seconds, then said, "So, I decided to give your chance of rebirth to Shen Tingyu."
system:"?"
“Hey, I really think he needs it!”
"With the memory of his past life, I can better help him plan a new life path!"
System: "It is also possible to destroy the world ahead of time."
"No." Xu Qingyao's tone was particularly firm. "This was clearly a passive choice. If he had it to do over again, I believe he would understand what is the best choice to survive in this world."
"Besides, isn't this my brother?"
"The world we traveled through can't be changed anyway, and we have to face a bad situation anyway, so why not let him decide his future himself!"
The system calmly said, "I only have the right to rebirth once."
"If you give it to Shen Tingyu, you can't go back."
Xu Qingyao was very cool: "It doesn't matter."
"It's not like I really have to go back."
"I wanted to become stronger because I wanted to protect my brother."
"But without him here, there's not much point in being reborn back to the end of the world and gaining double the power. I still have to worry about my brother's fate in this crappy place all the time."
Xu Qingyao made a bold decision: "So we must give Shen Tingyu a chance to change his fate of being tortured in the evil tower for many years."
"If they can become friends, then... at least after he goes crazy, I can still give him some room to survive because my brother is his friend, right?"
Anyway, Xu Qingyao, at such a young age, made a big decision.
The outrageous thing is that the system can only cooperate.
So Shen Tingyu was reborn.
Back to when he was 12 years old and was first imprisoned in the evil tower.
From this point on, the timeline of this world will be completely locked from this moment on.
There will be no new reborn people, and time will no longer be reversed in any form.
And Xu Qingran also received a strange strategy mission.
From the perspective of the small internship system, the task was written on the surface as a strategy to capture Shen Tingyu. Who would have thought that this task was actually a reverse strategy to capture Shen Tingyu.
That's why Xu Qingran always felt that the upgrading of his spirit pool always occurred at very strange points.
I thought Shen Tingyu had some strange hobbies or quirks, and was attracted by his violent aesthetics. Unexpectedly, those nodes of the spiritual pool upgrade, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is actually a change in his mentality and views on Shen Tingyu.
The last 1%.
Is there anything that can better prove that Shen Tingyu has 100% control over Xu Qingran than the fact that Xu Qingran is willing to overcome his own difficulties for Shen Tingyu
Xu Qingyao said: "Even if we have to arrange it, at least it has to be someone my brother can really like."
Only in this way can Xu Qingran's loneliness be wiped out and he can gain joy from the mission instead of being forced to accept and cope with it. And with Shen Tingyu's personality, it must be that only the person he likes can make him work hard to capture them.
Xu Qingyao: "Oh, I'm so smart!"
"Wouldn't it be possible to achieve a two-way journey this way?"
"ah!!!"
The internship system in Xu Qingran’s mind suddenly shouted.
“What the hell!”
"Oh, yeah, so I was accompanied by a master when I went on missions!"
The system screams.
This part of the memory was completely stripped away and locked away, and it was not until it was released today that it remembered everything!
System: Master is such a shit QAQ.
Xu Qingran remained silent after hearing this.
After Xu Qingyao finished speaking, she saw that the man in front of her didn't speak for a long time and his eyes were still red, so she felt a little guilty.
She thought Xu Qingran would scold her - after all, her brother was now very fierce, completely different from the soft and fussy boy he used to be.
So, when Xu Qingran stretched out his hand, she subconsciously closed her eyes, ready to accept the torture of love from her own brother.
But Xu Qingran didn't.
He simply touched her head and whispered, "... I can touch you now."
Xu Qingran had many dreams about Xu Qingyao.
Most of the time it was just memories, and every time in his dreams he could only watch their past like a spectator.
Whether it is good or bad.
Every time he subconsciously reached out to touch them, he could only pass through those figures, feeling so powerless.
This time, he could finally touch Xu Qingyao in his dream.
Xu Qingyao was startled when she heard this, and then she saw Xu Qingran squatting down and hugging her with both hands.
He held her in his arms, showing special care for her.
The smile on Xu Qingyao's face disappeared, her lips curled up, and she hugged him back with her little hands and burst into tears.
She cried loudly, not caring about her image at all, and choked up while crying: "I... I miss you too!!"
The brother-sister reunion scene is particularly heartwarming.
Shen Tingyu, who was watching from the side and heard the whole truth, felt extremely heavy.
His rebirth was given to him by Xu Qingran's sister Xu Qingyao.
Because of this, Xu Qingyao missed her chance of rebirth forever.
Shen Tingyu just felt a sense of trance as if he had been struck by lightning.
Xu Qingran, will you forgive this sinner
On the other side, Xu Qingran and Xu Qingyao hugged each other for five minutes.
Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped his sister on the butt with quite a bit of force.
He laughed angrily: "Xu Qingyao, are you sick?"
"Is there anyone like you who would arrange a man for his brother? Do you usually read pornographic novels?"
Xu Qingyao stopped crying.
He silently withdrew his affectionate hands and stammered, "Ah, just, I saw that you have seduced so many women in the last days for so long, and you were not interested in any of them."
Xu Qingran: "There are many men who seduce me, but I am not interested in any of them."
"… Mainly because Shen Tingyu is the best in the world. I want to have another brother as good-looking as him!"
Before Xu Qingran could settle the score with her, Xu Qingyao changed the subject: "Ah, I remember that you and General Shen seemed to have more important things to deal with. Go and deal with them quickly. We can talk about other things next time we meet, hahahaha!"
After the girl smiled awkwardly, she asked the system to forcibly kick the other two soul consciousnesses out of the dream space.
In the ward, Shen Tingyu woke up first.
The white dog was still staying by the bed.
After a few seconds, the man on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.
The oxygen mask on his face became foggy because of his exhaled breath.
There is a layer of moisture in the eyes.
The redness at the corners of her eyes revealed a hint of lingering emotions.
The warmth from my hands suddenly disappeared.
He watched Shen Tingyu stand up beside the bed, and said as he walked out: "I'll call Zixuan to come over and check you out."
The man's voice sounded a little dull.
Doesn't seem very happy.
Xu Qingran tried to stand up, took off the oxygen mask, and called out with difficulty before he opened the door: "Shen Tingyu."
Successfully stopped the opponent's actions.
Seeing that he didn't turn around to face her, Xu Qingran continued in a cold voice: "You are such a sensitive and fragile dog man."
"You are not thinking now that I blame you for not controlling yourself in your previous life and hate you for taking away my sister's chance of rebirth."
"And then I will hate you for this, cut off all ties with you forever, and never forgive you for the rest of my life—right?"
Shen Tingyu: “…”
He withdrew his hand from the door handle and silently turned to face Xu Qingran.
His expression was as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.
Obviously, his thoughts were guessed clearly.
Xu Qingran laughed angrily: "Shen Tingyu, do I look like such an unreasonable person?"
